Myriad manifestations of Williams syndrome

4 months male child presented with failure to thrive. On general examination child had normal O2 saturation with characterstic elfin facies. Further evaluation of the patient showed major manifestations of Williams syndrome in form of supravalvar aortic stenosis, branched pulmonary artery stenosis along with cardiomyopathy. Although the entity is known, this article shows comprehensive diagnostic workup with the aid of multimodality imaging techniques. The genetic diagnosis of Williams syndrome was confirmed using fluroscent in situ hybridisation techniques (FISH). In this patient most of the manifestations of elastin vasculopathy were noted in the form of involvement of ascending aorta, pulmonary arteries and myocardium. We also want to emphasis the importance of echocardiography in newborn patients with dysmorphic facies as Williams syndrome can be easily missed in neonatal period

Not AvailableAn attempt was made to study the hooking efficiency, hooking location and injury pattern of two widely operated hook types that were used in study area. The study was conducted in two selected sites of Dhamtari district of Chhattisgarh, that was "Rudri barrage" of Mahanadi river and its basin. Straight shank "J" hook of number 14 size (ADDYA fish hook manufacturer) and Kirby bend J-hook of number 14 size (ADDYA fish hook manufacturer) were used to assess the fishing performances. Total 60 hand line operations were targeted for catfishes like Clarius batrachus, Heterpneustes fossilis and some other Channa sp. By evaluating the CPUE of both the hooks results illustrated that the Kirby bend J hook was much more efficient than the normal J hook. The (CPUE) of normal J hook were 33.3 kg, while the Kirby bend hook had CUPE of 43.3 kg. In contrast straight shank J-hooks had 70% of lip hooking, 30% of throat hooking and there was no deep hooking, while in case of Kirby bend hook 69.2% were lip hooked, 15.3% were throat hooked and 7.6% were deep hooked. In straight shank Jhooks the severity of injury observed was 30% as minor, 50% moderate and 10% of severe injury. On the other hand, total 26 fishes caught by Kirby bend hooksrecorded 38.4% of minor, 30% of moderate and 7.6% of severe injury. Live baits, like earthworm and crickets were used on both the hook types.Not Availabl
