Glaucoma-induced changes in the ciliary ganglion.

Changes in ciliary ganglion cells are described after the experimental induction of glaucoma in rhesus monkeys. They appear within 12 hours in the form of peripheral displacement or extrusion of the cell nucleus and loss of Nissl granules.

Early neonatal morbidity and mortality in 'at-risk' and 'normal' term pregnancies.

It is a universally known fact that maternal well-being is related to neonatal health. This case-control study aims to assess the pattern and strength of association of neonatal morbidity and mortality (in first 7 days of life) in relation to the presence of obstetric & medical risk factors in the mother (indicating maternal ill-health). In 250 cases (at-risk pregnancies), 75 (30%) developed neonatal illnesses while 17 (6.8%) perinatal deaths occurred in first seven days. In the same number of controls (uncomplicated pregnancies) there were only two perinatal deaths and lesser number of newborns (45/250, 16.4%) developed neonatal diseases in the first 7 days. Perinatal deaths, (still births and early neonatal deaths), (OR = 9.05; AR = 88.2%) and neonatal illnesses (OR = 2.2 and AR = 45) were strongly associated with presence of maternal risk factors. This study supports the fact that 'at risk' pregnancies have highly significant chances of developing early (first 7 days) neonatal morbidity (p < 0.001) and mortality (p < 0.001). Still births also occurred significantly more (p < 0.005) in number among 'at risk' (cases) than normal term pregnancies (controls).

Neural tubal defects in an east Delhi hospital.

A high incidence of congenital neural tube defects was suspected among the babies born in East Delhi. The hospital data of 30 months was reviewed to find out the incidence and to evaluate the prenatal diagnosis in these disorders. An incidence of 7/1000 births was found to be correct in all cases of anencephaly and hydrocephalus. However, spina bifida and encephalocele were missed in 25% of cases. All patients were diagnosed late during pregnancy mainly because of late booking. Early booking and a high index of suspicion are desirable for early prenatal diagnosis.
