Randomized Clinical Study on Dissolution of Urinary Catheters and Stents Encrustation by an Ayurvedic Compound
Abstract: Encrustation, a crust or hard coating on the surface of urinary catheter and stents, is developed due to the formation of biofilm. Encrustation causes blockage of urinary catheter and leads to reflux of urine, increases renal pressure and ultimately damages renal parenchyma tissues. Present clinical study was designed to evaluate the dissolution activity of an Ayurvedic compound on catheter and stent encrustation and to study the changes seen in serum …

Accidentally Diagnosed Hepatic Hydatid Cyst: A Case Report
Abstract: Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection by a tape worm of Genus Echinococcus. It is a zoonotic disease that occurs throughout the world. The life cycle of E. granulosus alternates between herbivores and carnivores (Such as sheep & Dogs). Man is an accidental intermediate host and a dead end in parasites life cycle. The oral entry of parasite finds its host organ as intestinal mucosa where they develop into adult …

Infertility and Assisted reproductive technology (ART): An overview
Abstract: Numerous scientific advances in the last several years have increased our understanding of infertility and provided us with the means to improve both the success and safety of infertility treatments. In the past, infertility was defined as the inability to conceive after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse. When a couple's fertility fails, they get despondent and dissatisfied. They blame women, and sometimes each other, for infertility failure. People's attitudes …
