Cellular immunity in chicks expressing fibrosarcomatous liver tumor following embryo infection with subgroup A Rous sarcoma virus.

Bryan standard strain of Rous sarcoma virus (BS-RSV) of subgroup A was inoculated into heavy and light breeds of chicken embryos via chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) to ascertain cell-mediated immune response, as measured by a leukocyte migration inhibition (LMI) test. Chicks hatched from eggs with pock-positive CAMs were more likely to develop liver tumors than those hatched from eggs with pock-negative CAMs. Chicks that developed tumors usually had a positive cell-mediated immune response, and those that were negative for liver tumor were negative, based on the LMI test.

Evaluation of cardiac symptoms by trans-telephonic electro-cardiographic monitoring (TTEM): preliminary experience.

Between May 1996 and May 1997, a total of 398 patients (321 males, 77 females) were registered at our institute for trans-telephonic electro-cardiographic monitoring (TTEM). Their age ranged from one month to 95 years. Almost two-third (67%) of patients were from Delhi and one-third (33%) from other places in India and neighbouring countries. Clinical profile of these patients was post-bypass surgery, post-myocardial infarction, chest pain for evaluation, post-percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, chronic stable angina, evaluation of palpitations, arrhythmias, and pace-maker follow-up. Out of 664 symptomatic transmissions, 568 (86%) were received for cardiac symptoms and 96 (14%) for non-cardiac symptoms. Seventy-nine percent patients had chest pain or palpitations at the time of transmission, whereas 21 percent had other symptoms like chest discomfort, breathlessness or dizziness. The electro-cardiograms were transmitted within one hour of the onset of chest pain in 84 percent, palpitations in 78 percent and dizziness in 75 percent. Of patients with symptomatic transmissions, 628 (95%) required either reassurance or drug-dose adjustment and outpatient department review. Only 36 (5%) patients were hospitalised as an emergency, and out of these only 19 (3%) needed acute management. In conclusion, trans-telephonic electro-cardiographic monitoring is a very convenient and an 'all-time-available' monitoring facility for establishing patient-physician contact in the shortest time. It is useful in rendering instant advice for hospitalisation in emergency situations while avoiding unnecessary visits to the hospital.

Sociomedical problems of aged population in a rural area of Wardha district.

Most of the old persons staying in rural areas are illiterate with physical disabilities and are psychologically disturbed due to the loss of income and hence they are unable to lead a productive life. The present study was thus undertaken in a rural area of Wardha district, with the objective of studying the sociomedical aspects and psychological perceptions of the elderly population. Out of 10,000 population, 600 individuals of age 60 years and above were studied. Proportion of females was 330 (55%) and males 270 (45%) respectively. 300 (66.5%) of them were illiterate, and majority were agricultural labourer (238, 39.66%) and daily labourers (172, 28.66%). 244 individuals (40.67%) were still the head of the family and rest were related to the head of the family. 91 (15.17%) felt the change in attitude of the family members. 139 (31.5%) felt neglected and 146 (24.33%) loneliness respectively.
