An explicit realization of fractional statistics in one dimension

An explicit realization of anyons is provided, using the three-body Calogero model. The fact that in the coupling domain, $-1/4<g<0$, the angular spectrum can have a band structure, leads to the manifestation of the desired phase in the wave function, under the exchange of the paticles. Concurrently, the momentum corresponding to the angular variable is quantized, exactly akin to the relative angular momentum quantization in two dimensional anyonic systemComment: 12 page

An analysis of 2800 CT Head scans in patients with chronic headache

Introduction: Chronic headache is a common health problem in general medical practice and there is increasing demand of CT scan from specialist as well as non-specialist doctors to refer patients for CT head scan. Patients and methods: The present study was done on 2800 CT head scans of patients with problem of chronic headache. While patients in Group 1 (n=1900) had only chronic headache without any neurological findings, Group B comprised of cases (n=900) referred by specialist doctors after neurological examination. CT scan was done by trained technicians and contrast was injected where necessary. Results: Present study showed majority of patients in both group 1 and group 2 (90% and 87.7% respectively) had normal CT findings or insignificant findings. However, difference was not significant in both groups when significant findings (10.0% Gr. A and 12.2% Group B) were compared. Discussion: Our findings are consistent with other studies concluding that routine CT scan may not provide clinically useful information in chronic headache

Retrospective analysis of chest x-ray of patients from eastern Uttar Pradeshpresenting in Radiology department ofHind Institute Medical Sciences, Barabanki Uttar Pradesh

Introduction: Chest Xray is one of the most frequently asked radiological examination in patients with heart or lung problems in general medical practice. There are many studies on correlation of CXR findings and other tools of investigations like CT scan, MRI and laboratory investigations like spirometry and sputum examinations etc. The present study aims at establishing a possible correlation in rural population of Eastern Uttar Pradesh. Methods: We have done a cross sectional study in a period of six months including 2500 patients coming for CXR. Patients were followed up to a point where radiological diagnosis was confirmed or otherwise after other investigations and clinical response. Results: There was fairly good correlation in patients with COPD (73.15%), tuberculosis (85.8%), interstitial lung disease (63.9%) and congestive heart failure (68.6%). Conclusion: We conclude that CXR is tool of reasonable sensitivity however there is sizeable possibility of false positive and negative cases

Not AvailableEffects of experimental Procamallanus infection on blood parameters of Clarias batrachus were recorded. TEC, Hb and PCV declined whereas TLC increased during Procamallanus post-infection period. MCV and MCH recorded an increase on day 15 and 30 post-infection but MCHC displayed a significant decrease on day 15 and 45 post-infection in C. batrachus. Haematological alterations due to Procamallanus infection caused anaemia in the catfish.Not Availabl

Not AvailableAlterations in gill of Clarias batrachus induced by experimental Procamallanus infection were recorded on day 15, 30, 45 and 60. Gill of the control catfish comprised laterally compressed leaf-like filaments (primary gill lamellae) arranged alternately on either side of the interbranchial septum. Each primary filament bore a row of secondary gill lamellae on both sides perpendicular to its long axis. Primary gill lamellae consisted of a central core of cartilaginous rod, lining epithelial cells and blood vessels whereas secondary lamellae comprised a layer of flattened epithelial cells attached to the basement membrane, contractile pillar (pilaster) cell system and blood spaces (sinusoid). Thyroid follicles with homogenous eosinophilic colloid material in the lumen were also seen scattered among gill lamellae. Procamallanus infection in the catfish induced mild hypertrophy as well as hyperplasia in the epithelium lining cells of the primary and secondary gill lamellae on day 15 and 30. Marked hyperplasia and telangiectasis were observed in secondary gill lamellae of the catfish due to Procamallanus infection by day 45 and 60.Not Availabl
