Early Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy: Are the Viruses to Blame?

This paper describes a case of early (7 months after transplant) cardiac allograft vasculopathy. This-43-year-old (CMV positive, EBV negative) female patient underwent an orthotopic heart transplant with a (CMV negative, EBV positive) donor heart. She had a history of herpes zoster infection and postherpetic neuralgia in the past. The patient's panel reactive antibodies had been almost undetectable on routine surveillance testing, and her surveillance endomyocardial biopsies apart from a few episodes of mild-to-moderate acute cellular rejection (treated adequately with steroids) never showed any evidence of humoral rejection. The postoperative course was complicated by multiple admissions for upper respiratory symptoms, and the patient tested positive for entero, rhino, and coronaviruses serologies. During her last admission (seven months postoperatively) the patient developed mild left ventricular dysfunction with an ejection fraction of 40%. The patient's endomyocardial biopsy done at that time revealed concentric intimal proliferation and inflammation resulting in near-total luminal occlusion in the epicardial and the intramyocardial coronary vessels, suggestive of graft vasculopathy with no evidence of rejection, and the patient had a fatal ventricular arrhythmia

The study of maternal factors and perinatal outcome in meconium-stained liquor

Background: The presence of meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) is believed to be one of the surest signs of fetal distress in utero due to fetal hypoxia. The objective of the study is to determine the maternal factors, mode of delivery and perinatal outcome for meconium-stained liquor.Methods: A prospective observational study of 500 women with term pregnancy having meconium-stained liquor during labour after spontaneous or artificial rupture of membranes from 01 October 2018 to 30 September 2019 were included in the study. Details regarding maternal risk factors and perinatal outcomes were studied.Results: The women were classified into 2 groups according to the type of staining: thin group and thick group.8.6% of the women had more than one risk factor. Prolonged labour (6.4%), oligohydramnios (4.8%) and hypertension (7%) prevailed more compared to other factors and had a significant association with meconium-stained liquor (p value <0.05). In our study, higher caesarean section rate (82.44%) due to fetal distress in meconium-stained liquor women was present. Incidence of birth asphyxia was significantly higher in thick meconium compared to thin meconium. 15 cases had birth asphyxia and 27 babies had meconium aspiration syndrome. Perinatal morbidity of 6.41% was seen in thin meconium-stained group and 20.74% with thick meconium-stained group. Out of 500 cases of meconium-stained liquor, 29 cases had neonatal death and 30 cases of thick meconium-stained group had still birth.Conclusions: Meconium-stained liquor significantly increased the neonatal morbidity and mortality. The "thickness" of meconium had a direct bearing on the neonatal outcome

Heavy landings of Sardinella longiceps by purseseiners at Malpe Fisheries Harbour, Karnataka

Malabar coast is well known for oilsardine and mackerel fishery. The oilsardine fishery along the coast is characterised by annual fluctuations in landings (Fig.1). Mangalore and Malpe fisheries harbours are the major oilsardine landing centres of Karnataka. Malpe Fisheries Harbour contributes 40-65% to the total oilsardine landings in Karnataka

Accumulation of trace metals in green mussel Perna viridis in the shellfish harvesting environment along southern Karnataka coast

The levels of trace metals, Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, Ni and Fe in seawater and their bioaccumulation in green mussel Perna viridis were examined in two shellfish harvesting environments, Someshwara and Surathkal, along the southern Karnataka coast. In seawater, the concentration of trace metals analysed were below the levels causing harmful effects on the larvae and adult mussels, set by the European Council Directive 79/923/EEC. The Fe, Ni, Cd and Zn levels in mussel tissue from Surathkal were relatively higher when compared to that of mussel tissue samples from Someshwara while Cu and Pb levels were lower. The mean tissue concentrations of trace metals in the soft tissue of P. viridis from shellfish waters were found to be safe and below the permissible concentrations for seafood (US FDA and WHO) as well as EU limits in marine products

Mussel culture in mulky estuary, Dakshina Kannada district, Karnataka during 1997-'99

During 1997-'98 seasons, the mussel culture activities were carried out at Mulky estuary with the active participation of local fishermen and the growth rate was studied. Culture work was continued at two places in Mulky estuary during 1998-'99 seasons. The growth rate of mussels in Chitrapu area was higher than that observed in Mulky area. During 1998-'99 seasons, the meat content of the harvested mussel was low as they had spawned before the harvest. The culture works carried out at Mulky estuary reveal that mussel culture can be profitabily done during October-May months in Mulky estuary. The fishermen group can take up the culture activities as a part-time venture as the culture involves minimum labour only during the initial period and thereafter it needs little husbandry work. There is good demand for mussels in monsoon months when supply of marine fish is less due to ban on mechanized fishing. Mussels harvested in May can be processed and marketed for sale during the lean season, for which infrastructural facilities have to be developed. Once the marketing infrastructure is developed mussel culture activities can be taken up by more fishermen group in a profitable manner
