OBJECTIVE To estimate the effect of portal pressure lowering drug 'octreotide', by observing the Doppler waveform before and after the administration of intravenous bolus of octreotide and thus to assess indirectly its efficacy to lower the portal pressure. METHODS This quassi experimental study was carried out in Medical Department in collaboration with Radiology Department of Jinnah Postgra...

The in vivo low-dose responses of zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos to 150 kV X-rays with different levels of hardness were examined through the number of apoptotic events revealed at 24 h post fertilization by vital dye acridine orange staining. Our results suggested that a triphasic dose response was likely a common phenomenon in living organisms irradiated by X-rays, which comprised an ultra-l...

Angiolipofibroma is an extremely rare triphasic mesenchymal lesion. It consists of mature adipose tissue, fibrous and vessels. Very few cases reported in the current literature. This report presents a case polyp-like mass detected routine colonoscopy screening. We also present comprehensive data previously found throughout world.

Raynaud phenomenon (RP) may affect the tongue as has previously been reported in cases of secondary RP1,2,3. We are not aware lingual involvement being described individuals with primary RP, particularly children. A 6-year-old prepubertal, healthy female was referred for rheumatological assessment. Following cold exposure, she a typical triphasic RP fingers. After initial episodes involving …

BACKGROUND Wilms tumor (WT) is a pediatric tumor of the kidney, the treatment of which includes heavy chemotherapy. Affected children would likely benefit from more targeted therapies with limited side effects. Establishment of relevant orthotopic WT xenografts is important to better understand mechanisms of WT growth and for preclinical drug testing. PROCEDURE Here we established and charact...

The phase-resetting response of a model of spontaneously active cardiac Purkinje fiber is investigated. The effect on the interbeat interval of injecting a 20-ms duration depolarizing current pulse is studied as a function of the phase in the cycle at which the pulse is delivered. At low current amplitudes, a triphasic response is recorded as the pulse is advanced through the cycle. At intermed...
