Bactericidal power of neutrophils in protein calorie malnutrition.

The present study was undertaken to compare the disturbance in bactericidal power of neutrophils in 25 children having protein caloric malnutrition age and sex matched healthy control subjects. There was a highly significant reduction in the percentage of bacteria killed during incubation in children having PCM as compared to healthy control. A direct relationship existed between total serum proteins and bactericidal activity of neutrophils in children having PCM. The impaired bactericidal power of neutrophils can be attributed to impaired synthesis of lysosomal enzymes, glycolytic activity of neutrophils in children having PCM. The exact mechanisms still remain to be elucidated. Decreased bactericidal activity of neutrophils may be one of the mechanisms responsible for infection.

Mediation in labour relations.

The authors explain the concept of mediation, outline the mediator's multiple roles in resolving labour-relations disputes, and advocate the use of an innovative technique known as "Med-Arb". The latter combines mediation and voluntary arbitration in resolving collective bargaining impasses. The success of Med-Arb mediation depends upon the dispute's context, the history of past labour relations, and the mediator's expertise in employing suitable strategies. The authors also advocate further research into mediation and its relevance to the health care sector.
