Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening disorder characterized by excessive activation of the immune system leading to tissue damage and organ dysfunction. We present case HLH Like initial presentation secondary extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) in young male who presented with fever, constitutional symptoms generalized lymphadenopathy. Initial this there were no much evid...

We have developed a QCM (Quartz Crystal Microbalance) based method for direct gravimetric determination of water adsorption on PuO2 surrogate surfaces, especially CeO2, under conditions representative of those in a typical PuO2 storage can. In this application, the method of transduction of the QCM relies upon the linear relationship between the resonant frequency of piezoelectrically active qu...

In 1925, Sir Thomas Horder, a leading physician of his day, gave a lecture, published in this journal, entitled 'Some cases of pyrexia without physical signs'. The paper highlighted what was already a familiar clinical presentation "which taxes our resources to the utmost". Fast-forward through 90 years of careful clinical description, technological innovation in diagnosis and treatment, emerge...

Inflammatory pseudotumour (inflammatory myofibroblastoma, plasma cell granuloma) is a rare benign lesion in adults and children. It frequently simulates a true neoplasm both clinically and morphologically, presenting a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. We herein report a case of a 16 year old girl who presented with pyrexia of unknown origin for almost 4 months before developing a palpable lu...

Abstract In the prospect of deep geological disposal, long-term behavior high-level nuclear glasses has to be investigated regarding alpha radiation induced by long-life minor actinides. The present study focuses on effects chemical reactivity R7T7-type glasses, separately considering dose rate and decay dose. Old SON68 doped with 238/239 PuO 2 or 244 CmO were studied simulate high rates corres...
