Background: Dealing with blindness related to primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) has always been challenging due to late detection as POAG can remain asymptomatic until end stage. Most eye hospitals in Nepal conduct ...
Detection of pulmonary nodules in chest tomosynthesis: Comparison with chest radiography, evaluation of learning effects and investigation of radiation dose level dependency
(2014-05-05)
Chest tomosynthesis is a relatively recently introduced technique in healthcare, which produces section images of the chest at a lower radiation dose than computed tomography (CT) and with better depth resolution than ...
Initiation of Mammalian Mitochondrial DNA Replication
(2014-04-04)
Mitochondria produce most of the adenosine triphosphate required in a eukaryotic cell and they contain their own genome. The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a double stranded circular molecule that codes for proteins required ...
Titanium Oxide and Bone Anchorage: Role of the Complement System, and Delivery of Osteoporosis Drugs from Mesoporous TiO2
(2014-03-07)
The clinical success of bone implants of titanium (Ti) is largely ascribed to the biological performance and the physicochemical properties of the outermost titanium(IV)dioxide (TiO2) layer. Several advancements have been ...
Haemostasis during pregnancy, labour and postpartum haemorrhage
(2014-10-07)
Background: Haemostatic disorders are common in obstetric complications and may result in more severe complications if not detected. There is limited knowledge about viscoelastic methods, fibrinogen and Factor XIII and how ...

Genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of mitochondrial diseases with focus on early onset mitochondrial encephalopathies
(2014-10-07)
Early-onset mitochondrial encephalopathies comprise a challenging group of neurodegenerative disorders. This is due to their progressive nature, often leading to major disability and premature death, as well as their ...
Linking fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 and urokinase signalling to survivin expression in experimental arthritis
(2014-03-07)
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune joint disease, in which chronic inflammation and hyperplastic synovial tissue mediates destruction of cartilage and bone. Survivin is known as an intracellular inhibitor ...
