objective: sulfur mustard (sm) is a potent mutagenic agent that targets several organs, particularly lung tissue. changes in morphological structure of the airway system are associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary deficiency following exposure to sm. although numerous studies have demonstrated pathological effects of sm on respiratory organs, unfortunately there is no effective treatment ...

Every year an estimated half a million women die in childbirth. Unfortunately, this global figure has changed little since the problem was first highlighted in 1987 at the Safe Motherhood Conference in Nairobi, Kenya. These deaths, mostly in developing countries, are primarily from haemorrhage, infection, and complications of abortion. Progress has been meagre in the poorest countries due to we...

The use of sulfur mustard (SM) as a chemical weapon for warfare has once again assumed center stage, endangering civilian and the military safety. SM causes rapid local skin vesication and late-onset systemic toxicity. Most studies on SM rely on obtaining tissue and blood for characterizing burn pathogenesis and assessment of systemic pathology, respectively. However the present study focuses o...

Introduction:Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) has been demonstrated to be an effective therapeutic tool in patients with disseminated bone metastasis. TRT is generally performed with a single radionuclide. In this study we investigated the feasibility of combined TRT with a high-energy beta emitter (153Sm) and a low energy beta emitter (177Lu) in wistar...

In 1993, from the review of child survival and safe motherhood program, districts were classified for area‐specific action‐oriented intervention measures to eliminate tetanus. Districts were classified into three categories depending on TT immunization coverage among pregnant women, NT incidence rates, and proportion of clean deliveries by trained personnel [Table 1]. Taking into account the ge...
