Myiasis is a parasitic infestation caused by larvae of several fly species. Diagnosis and treatment are simple. This infestation is, however, rarely seen in the vulvar area. We present a short review of the disease and the case of a 19-year-old pregnant girl with vulvar myiasis and concomitant syphilis, vaginal trichomoniasis and genital candidiasis. The patient was also positive for human immu...

Paediatric supracondylar fractures of the femur are not common. The treatment options depend on the age of child, the site of the fracture, the pattern of injury and the surgeon's preference. We report a case of an 11-year old boy who sustained a comminuted displaced supracondylar fracture of the femur and was treated with indirect reduction and internal fixation with the Less Invasive Stabiliz...

A 45-year-old Indian woman presented with a large pelvic mass and ascites. A preoperative diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma was made, and exploratory laparotomy was performed. Findings at surgery revealed multiple nodules on the omentum (A), peritoneum, fallopian tubes, and serosa of the uterus. A tubal biopsy was performed. Tissue examination confirmed the presence of caseating granulomas (B, C)....

LEGEND TO IMAGE (A) Uterus with multiple leiomyomata. Patient presented with acute abdomen. Upon entering the abdomen the patient was found to have one to two liters of purulent fluid. (B) Necrotic leiomyomata that had para-sitized the transverse colon and eroded into the lumen of the bowel. The patient required a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, bowel resectio...

Clustering is an unsupervised classification that aims to classify an image into homogeneous regions. We have proposed a hierarchical content based image clustering algorithm to automatically cluster the remote sensing satellite image. The performance evaluation of this algorithm is done with reference to the LISS 4 sensor imagery of IRS-P6 satellite. Centroid of the clusters is uniformly distr...

We reply to the commentaries on the lead papers by Neale et al. [1994a] and Duffy and Martin [1994]. Topics covered include power calculations, cross-sectional measurement vs. lifetime reports, the appropriateness of the direction of causation (DOC) model, extensions to study causation between the latent variables, sampling of subjects, and heterogeneity. We consider the potential of combining ...

This bulletin is based on research conducted by Professor Terry Burke and Ms Liss Ralston at the AHURI UNSWUWS Research Centre, and Professor Michael Stone from the University of Massachusetts, USA. The project considered the policy implications of using a different measure for housing affordability— using the residual income rather than the income ratio method. What does the residual income me...

Abstract—A methodology is proposed for estimating the optical attenuation and proportional depth variation of shallow inland water. The process is demonstrated with EO-1 Hyperion hyperspectral and IRS-P6 LISS-3 multispectral images of Kolkata city nearby area centered around 22o33′ N 88o26′ E. The attenuation coefficient of water was found to change with fine resolution of wavebands and in pres...
