We present a 15-years old young child primarily presented to general surgeon for abdominal mass and gross haematuria. His detailed imaging studies and other relevant investigations revealed that it is a case of Paediatric Renal Cell carcinoma (RCC), which was clinically not associated with any of the known malignancies or syndromes. On detailed histo-pathological examination this was reported a...

A library of glycosylated porphyrins (glycoporphyrins) was prepared and the compounds were evaluated for their photodynamic therapy (PDT) activity against the oesophageal squamous-cell carcinoma cell line OE21 in vitro. A synthetic methodology was developed to allow incorporation of biologically active carbohydrates, including the histo-blood-group antigen trisaccharide Lewis(X), onto the porph...

A hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay to assess serum antibody responses following Norwalk virus (NV) infection was developed. HAI activity increased significantly in individuals experimentally infected with NV (n = 18) and correlated with antibody levels measured in a histo-blood group antigen (HBGA) blocking assay. Prechallenge HAI antibody levels also correlated with protection from the ...

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG), formerly called giant cell reparative granuloma, is a non-neoplastic proliferative lesion of unknown etiol-ogy. It occurs most commonly in the mandible. The case reported here resembled a wide variety of conditions that led to a misdiagnosis both on clinical and radiographic examinations but was histopathologically diagnosed as CGCG. We describe a case of CG...
