Arthritis of the fi rst metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint of a different cause than gout is identifi ed by the term pseudopodagra. Although the majority causes of pseudopodagra are deposits of other micro crystals, there has been other rare cause, such as Behcet’s disease.1,2 We present the case of a patient with a pseudopodagra due to Behcet’s disease. A 43-year-old female patient suffering from...

Dear editor, We read with interest the article on ‘‘Over the counter MTP pills and its impact on women’s health’’ in January– february 2017 issue of your esteemed journal. This is a burning topic as it not only affects women’s health, but also increases unnecessary emergencies which obstetricians face in day to day life. We have done a similar observational study at BJRM Hospital, New Delhi, be...

antihypertensive agent was given intravenously and the procedure and recovery was uneventful. We do agree that MTP and tumor excision should have been done simultaneously or tumor excision before MTP but the patient due to personal reasons had initially refused surgical excision of tumor. Only after developing hypertensive crisis she and her relatives realized the severity of her disease and we...

Genetic variants of the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) have been associated with the serum concentration of low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, predisposition to coronary heart disease, or longevity. The relation of a -493G›T polymorphism in the promoter of MTP to blood pressure was examined in a population-based study. The subjects (1124 men, 1108 women) were aged 40-79 years ...

In this study, the use of Mtp-40 and alpha antigen polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification fragments for the precise tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis was evaluated. One hundred and ninety two different samples were obtained from 113 patients with suspected TB. Mtp-40 and alpha antigen protein genes were amplified by the PCR technique and compared to both the "gold standard" (culture) test, as ...

| Multithreading is a powerful programming paradigm that has become very popular in recent years. The authors have developed a set of course materials and software tools for eeectively teaching multithreaded programming (MTP). One important component of the au-thors' system is a very simple user-level kernel for instructors to teach MTP without getting into system details , and for the students...

Metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint osteoarthritis (OA), also known as hallux rigidus (HR), is the most common degenerative arthropathy of the foot and is often the result of trauma. There are multiple methods of addressing the patient's pain and limited function. Arthrodesis is the gold standard to manage severe MTP arthritis with a highly significant union rate. With various techniques of arthrod...

BACKGROUND Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome (EAS) is caused by tumours releasing ACTH. Ectopic ACTH-producing tumour regression is rarely induced using steroidogenesis inhibitors. We presented a case of EAS in which ACTH production by a lung tumour was reduced by metyrapone (MTP) and also reviewed previous cases of ectopic ACTH production suppressed via steroidogenesis inhibi...

Temporal logics have been used in autonomous planning to represent and reason about temporal planning problems. However, such techniques have typically been restricted to either (1) representing actions, events, and goals with temporal properties or (2) planning for temporally-extended goals under restrictive assumptions. We introduce Mixed Propositional Metric Temporal Logic (MPMTL) where form...
