Hypertension is a very common and important disease of modern civilised life. There are comflicting reports about cadmium, a trace element in the genesis of essential hypertension. The present study was conducted to estimate the cadmium levels in whole blood in the normal group of thirty subjects who were normotensive and the same was compared to that of thirty hypertensive patients and the levels were found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05).

Circadian rhythm in acute stroke.

Ischemic events have been reported to follow a circadian rhythm. The frequency of myocardial infarction is found to be increased between 6:01 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Blood pressure also demonstrates a similar circadian variation. Circadian variation of stroke onset has also been reported, but with contradictory findings. To determine this in the Indian population, we studied 182 consecutive patients of acute stroke admitted to our words within twelve hours of onset. The frequency of onset of stroke was found to be highest between 6:01 am and 2:00 pm, in patients of infarct as well as haemorrhage. Patients of hypertension also showed a similar variation. Thus, the identification of periods of high risk, may help by matching drug doses with periods of vulnerability.

Facial nerve involvement in pseudotumor cerebri.

A woman with history of bifrontal headache, vomiting and loss of vision was diagnosed as a case of pseudotumor cerebri based on clinical and MRI findings. Bilateral abducens and facial nerve palsies were detected. Pseudotumor cerebri in this patient was not associated with any other illness or related to drug therapy. Treatment was given to lower the raised intracranial pressure to which the patient responded.
