The histopathology of Neoechinorhynchus hutchinsoni Datta, 1936 (Neoacanthocephala): Neoechinorhynchidae) infection in Nemacheilus kashmirensis Hora.

Histopathological studies of Neoechinorhynchus hutchinsoni infection in Nemacheilus kashmirensis show partial or complete damage of the host intestinal wall, depending upon the degree of penetration. Increased number of goblet cells are seen at the site of unperforated wounds but where the intestinal wall is completely perforated the goblet cells were undifferentiated. The parasite destroys the mucosa, lamina propria, muscle layer and serosa leading to perforation. This report of perforation by Neoechinorhynchus hutchinsoni is the first in the genus Neoechinorhynchus.

Pharmacist-manned drug information centers in the United States.

Pharmacist-manned drug information centers (DICs) were surveyed in early 1976 to obtain current information concerning the status, availability and scope of their services. Eight-six institutions believed to be active in disseminating drug information were surveyed; 74 responses were usable. Descriptive information on the respondents is tabulated. It appears that DICs make constructive contributions to enhancing drug therapy. Respondents at 63 of the centers believed, and 31 DICs said they have demonstrated, that physicians who used their services often changed their drug therapy based on answers supplied by the centers.
