One of the complications of brucellosis is infective endocarditis, which carries a high mortality rate if undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. We report a case of Brucella infective endocarditis, which was diagnosed serologically and by polymerase chain reaction. After Brucella specific treatment, patient showed dramatic improvement clinically, as evident by echocardiogram findings and other investigations.
The study of the consistency of a number of semi-solid pharmaceutical preparation, namely: simple ointment base, paraffin ointment base, emulsifying ointment base and soft paraffin (m.p. 47--49 degrees C) was conducted using an apparatus designed for the purpose in this laboratory. Factors such as temperature and shearing stress of motive force were taken into consideration. A mathematical equation was developed for the extrapolation of the results.
