Synthesis and structure determination of some oxadiazole-2-thione and triazole-3-thione galactosides.

The syntheses of 5-pyridyl-3(beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiones 3a-3c and 5-pyridyl-2(beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-4-benzyl-1,2, 4-triazole-3-thiones 6a-6c are reported. The existence of N-galactosides--not S-galactosides--was proven by IR and 15N NMR spectroscopy. The structures of the final products and the intermediates were elucidated by IR, 1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.

Anaemia in children: Part II. Should primary health care providers prescribe iron supplements by the observation and presence of assumed symptoms?

The dilemma of private practitioners is whether to prescribe or not to prescribe iron supplements on suspicion of anaemia. This cross sectional study was done in an urban squatter settlement with a primary health care centre to assess the significance of symptoms and a history of associated diseases in the diagnosis of anaemia. A total of 321 children were sampled from 1800 children < 5 years of age in a population of 11,000, by systematic random sampling. Mothers were asked about the presence of assumed associated symptoms and diseases which were listlessness, irritability, anaemia, pica, poor weight gain, diarrhoea, acute respiratory infection and malaria in last 3 months. There was significant association between anaemia (Hb < 11 gms%) and irriability (P < .02), anorexia for solid foods (P < .04), pica (P < .001), episode of diarrhoea (P < .001) and poor weight gain (P < .006). There was no significant association between malaria, cold, cough and anaemia. Children with these symptoms complex should receive iron supplements.

Bleeding Meckel's diverticulum in an adult.

The 99mtechnetium pertechnetate nuclear red blood cell scan proved to be a valuable diagnostic tool in localizing the site of bleeding, from a Meckel's diverticulum, in a 41-year-old man. When peptic ulcer or colorectal disease has been excluded by panendoscopy, bleeding Meckel's diverticulum remains a diagnostic consideration, even in adults. We provide a 20-year list of bleeding Meckel's diverticula reported in adults, along with a brief discussion.
