HIV seropositivity among adult tuberculosis patients in Delhi.

We report HIV seropositivity among tuberculosis patients from our hospital between 1994-99. Of the 500 patients with various forms of tuberculosis, two were found to be seropositive (0.4%). This report contrasts with the HIV seropositivity reports from other parts of India where increasing HIV seropositivity has been reported. As the HIV infection is making rapid in-roads in India, it is suggested that continuous HIV sero-surveillance should be done in patients with tuberculosis.

[Intracutaneous tuberculin test using the Mendel-Mantoux technique. Tuberculin reactivity among inpatients in a pneumology department]
[Article in German]

Detection of latent tuberculosis infection is an important step in the control of tuberculosis. The tuberculin skin test is the only proven method for identifying tuberculosis infection in patients who do not have tuberculosis disease. The prevalence of tuberculosis infection among hospitalized patients in a pneumological department of an inner-city hospital was evaluated, using the intradermal tuberculin skin test (Mantoux technique). Interpretation of the Mantoux test was based on the size of induration in millimeters and the individual risk profile of the patients, according to the guidelines of the American Thoracic Society and the Centers for Disease Control, revised in 1989. Of 697 tested patients, 252 showed test results consistent with tuberculosis infection (36.2%). 55 of these 697 patients had active tuberculosis disease or a prior history of tuberculosis (7.9%). A positive tuberculin skin test was found in 197 of 642 patients (30.7%) with a diagnosis different from tuberculosis (COPD, pneumonia, cancer and others). In our study, the sensitivity of the tuberculin skin test for active tuberculosis infection was 95%. The present study revealed a high prevalence of tuberculosis infection among hospitalized patients in a pneumological department. Further studies are needed to assess the usefulness of routine tuberculin skin testing in hospitalized populations.

Tuberculous anal sepsis: report of clinical features in 20 cases.
Kraemer M, Gill SS, Seow-Choen F.
Department of Colorectal Surgery, Singapore General Hospital, Singapore.
INTRODUCTION: Tuberculosis is a neglected cause of anal sepsis, often is not recognized, and therefore is not treated properly. METHOD: All patients were reviewed who had tuberculous anal sepsis diagnosed by histology reports of fistulectomy specimens or abscess scrapings from January 1990 to April 1999. RESULTS: Twenty patients (median age, 53 years; 18 males) with anal tuberculous sepsis were identified. They presented with abscesses (n = 2), abscesses and fistulas (n = 6), or fistulas (n = 12). All patients had a long history of anal complaints (3 months to 20 years), for which 15 patients were operated on previously. Nearly all fistulas (17/18) were complex, and secondary tracks or additional complicating features were common, even at first presentation. Eight patients had active concurrent pulmonary tuberculosis, and six showed evidence of previous pulmonary tuberculosis. Six patients had no signs of concurrent or previous tuberculosis elsewhere. Recurrence was observed only in cases where tuberculosis was initially not recognized, and antitubercular treatment therefore was not started. CONCLUSION: Contrary to views held previously, anal tubercular sepsis seems to have characteristic clinical features. It should be considered in cases of known pulmonary or extrapulmonary tuberculosis or if anal sepsis is persistent, recurrent, or complex in nature.

Diagnostic thoracoscopy in patients with pleural effusion of unclear origin mostly provides the correct diagnosis. Results from published reports of previous researches are not uniform. In 47 male and 20 female patients with pleural effusion of unknown etiology, after receiving negative results obtained from cytological finding of pleural effusion and percutaneous needle biopsy, thoracoscopy with biopsy of one or both pleurae was performed. Procedure was done in local anesthesia using Stortz rigid thoracoscope. In 37 patients with malignant disease (primary or metastatic) diagnosis was confirmed histopathologically in 31 patient (81.12%). In 27 patients with inflammatory pleural disease diagnosis was confirmed histopathologically in 22 patients (81.4%). Among 11 patients with specific pleural effusions, tuberculosis was confirmed in 10 (90.91%). Normal finding in cases of spontaneous pneumothorax and pulmonary embolism was taken as a positive result. Total number of positive findings was 55 (82.10%). In one patient, the third spontaneous pneumothorax was the indication for thoracoscopy, and after numerous bullae were seen during the procedure, talcum powder pleurodesis was done. In four patients low intensity subcutaneous emphysema occurred one day after thoracoscopy. It can be concluded that thoracoscopy in local anesthesia out of the operating room is good and practical method for solving the unclear pleural effusions, with neglectable rate of complications.

Aspergillus nidulans catalase-peroxidase gene (cpeA) is transcriptionally induced during sexual development through the transcription factor StuA.

Catalases, peroxidases, and catalase-peroxidases are important enzymes to cope with reactive oxygen species in pro- and eukaryotic cells. In the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans three monofunctional catalases have been described, and a fourth catalase activity was observed in native polyacrylamide gels. The latter activity is probably due to the bifunctional enzyme catalase-peroxidase, which we characterized here. The gene, named cpeA, encodes an 81-kDa polypeptide with a conserved motif for heme coordination. The enzyme comprises of two similar domains, suggesting gene duplication and fusion during evolution. The first 439 amino acids share 22% identical residues with the C terminus. Homologous proteins are found in several prokaryotes, such as Escherichia coli and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (both with 61% identity). In fungi the enzyme has been noted in Penicillium simplicissimum, Septoria tritici, and Neurospora crassa (69% identical amino acids) but is absent from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Expression analysis in A. nidulans revealed that the gene is transcriptionally induced upon carbon starvation and during sexual development, but starvation is not sufficient to reach high levels of the transcript during development. Besides transcriptional activation, we present evidence for posttranscriptional regulation. A green fluorescent protein fusion protein localized to the cytoplasm of Hulle cells. The Hulle cell-specific expression was dependent on the developmental regulator StuA, suggesting an activating function of this helix-loop-helix transcription factor.

Is your hair shedding prematurely? Are you losing hair gradually or all of a sudden, or just as you are aging?
Hair Million is a herbal formula to reverse your hair loss problems.
Numerous anecdotal cases, and personal testimonies indicate that this herbal formula based on Chinese herbs actually
improves the conditions of hair thinning and hair loss for a significant fraction of people taking it regularly.
The biology of hair growth is complex and a field still under exploration.
We don't know how Hair Million stops hair loss, and promotes
hair restoration, despite all the supporting anecdotal cases.
Neither scientific research nor placebo controlled clinical trials has been conducted due to the cost. Shortage of scientific
and clinical research data is not uncommon in herbal and nutritional arena. Important merits of Hair Million is that it is relatively
inexpensive compared with surgical transplantation or prescription drugs, and secondly, it is made only of traditional herbs that
promote hair growth and are widely known to be safe in regular quantities. If you are interested in clinically tested prescription
