Upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinomas are rare tumors. They account for 5 to 7% of the urothelial tumors with renal pelvic lesions representing the majority. The disease is rarely seen under the age of 50. Smoking, occupational carcinogens, analgesic abuse, Balkan nephropathy are the risk factors. Approximately 20 to 50% of patients with

According to Islamic guidelines on partnership ventures, the profit sharing ratio is determined at the outset, and the actual return to the partners is ascertained at the end on the basis of realised profits.

This study aims at developing an interactive virtual model of the lost architectural heritage of the 8th century Buddhist Monastery of Sompur Mahaviahara in Bengal. This monument at Paharpur drew the attention of the architectural historians of the South Asia from the very discovery of the ruins of the structure at the beginning of the twentieth ce

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a rare benign neoplasm that occurs almost exclusively in the nasopharynx of adolescent males. Surgery remains the primary treatment of choice. JNA has always presented a management challenge to surgeons because of its vascular nature, site of occurrence, and local tissue destruction. The surgical approa

Accidental swallowing of fish bone, which arrested in esophagus, is fairly common. However the incidence of esophageal perforation due to fish bone swallowing is low. Delayed posterior mediastinal abscess as a result of the esophageal perforation is a rare manifestation and may lead to fatal outcome. Two cases of delayed formation of posterior medi

Priapism is caused by an imbalance between penile blood inflow and outflow. There are two types, low flow priapism due to venous occlusion and high flow priapism due to uncontrolled arterial flow to the veins.

Disturbances in urine flow, drainage and concomitant infections promote stone formation is common. Percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) in horseshoe kidney is a challenge due to its anatomical difference and thus a modified

Natural convection heat transfer in nanofluids has been investigated numerically using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach. Analytical models that describe molecular viscosity, density, specific heat, thermal conductivity and coefficient of thermal expansion have been considered in terms of volume fraction and size of nanoparticles, size of
