Urinary tract infection occurs predominately in females, especially during child bearing age characterized by both microbial colonization of the urine and tissue invasion of any structure of the urinary tract, most commonly caused by Gram--ve bacteria i.e. E.coli, predisposed by various conditions like presence of foreign bodies e.g. calculi or catheter in the urinary tract, obstructive lesions in the urinary tract, pregnancy etc. This comparative study was carried out on 20 patients in each group A&B of either sex between 20-60 years. Qurs-e-kafoor and Sharbat-e-bazoori motadil were used in group A for 15 days and Norfloxacin 400mg in group B for 7 days. Promising results of Unani formulations Qurs-e-kafoor and Sharbat-e-bazoori motadil were found in relieving the symptoms after 15 days of treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A young boy of 18 years was admitted at department of Neurology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital with the complaints of progressive generalized hyper-pigmentation, gradual loss of vision, hearing impairment, abnormal behaviors and one episode of seizure. Examination finding revealed, abnormal behaviors, generalized hyper pigmentation of skin, oral mucosa, gum, tongue and palmer creases. He has diffuse hair loss, bilateral primary optic atrophy, bilateral sensoryneural deafness. All routine investigations revealed normal findings except, CSF protein were elevated, biochemical features (very high ACTH, low basal cortisol) of primary adrenal failure, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head showed bilateral symmetrical white matter abnormalities in parieto-occipital regions. The diagnosis of Adreno-leukodystrophy (ALD) was strongly suggested from the medical history, biochemical and radiological (MRI) findings of brain. The purpose of our report is to highlight this very rare nontreatable disease to all. A patient of neuropsychiatric symptoms with Addison's disease we must think about ALD, because it's progression can be delayed with early diagnosis and supportive treatments, it's incidence can be reduced by genetic counseling.

In this paper the researchers are presenting an upper bound for the distribution function of quadratic forms in normal vector with mean zero atid positive definite covariance matrix. They also will show that the new upper bound is more precise than the one introduced by Okamoto [4] and the one introduced by Siddiqui (5]. Theoretical Error bounds for both, the new and Okamoto upper bounds are derived in this paper. For larger number of terms in any given positive definite quadratic form, a rough and easier upper bound is suggested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
