Of the five fisheries harbours in the Andhra Pradesh, Visakhapatnam Fisheries Harbour has been classified as major and the harbours at Kakinada (East Godavari district), Bhavanapadu {Srlkakulam district), Nizampatnam (Guntur district) and Krishnapatnam Port (Nellore district) as minor harbours

Major and minor fisheries harbours of India. 7. The fisheries harbours and fishery along the north Tamilnadu and south Andhra Pradesh coasts

There are four functional fisheries harbours in the north Tamil Nadu-south Andhra Pradesh coast, viz., Chennai (major), Nizampatnam, Cuddalore and Pazhayar (minor). A medium harbour in Pondicherry is under construction. There is a temporary jetty in Krishnapatnam and a fish landing platform in Pulicat

A Hospital Based Study in Anemia Prevalence in Children of South India- Vikarabad

Background: In India, anemia is a major public health problem, affecting all age classes, but the most affected are children and women in the child-bearing age group. Data from South Indian (Vikarabad) hospital patients, however, is not available. We intended to research the prevalence of anemia in a tertiary care hospital among children aged 2-12 years of age. Materials and Methods: From November 2018 to August 2019, a total of 526 children aged 2-12 years were enrolled in the research over 9 months. Using the completely automatic Hematanalyser, a total blood count was obtained by taking 2ml of blood. In compliance with the World Health Organisation (WHO) standard for the given age, anemia was diagnosed. Using informative and inferential statistics, the data was analysed and interpreted. Results: The average incidence of anemia was 33.07 percent for children 2-12 years old. The most prevalent (56.32 percent) was severity wise, moderate anemia, while extreme anemia was rare. Compared with boys, the incidence of anemia was marginally higher among children, but not statistically significant (p>0.05). Age was strongly correlated with both anemia and mean haemoglobin (Hb) (p<0.05), but there was no substantial correlation with other demographic factors, including gender or parental education (p>0.05). Conclusion: Anemia is widespread among south India (Vikarabad) children in the current sample, and affects boys and girls equally. While it is very normal to have moderate anemia, it stays asymptomatic and therefore goes unnoticed and untreated. Keywords: Anemia, Prevalence, Tertiary care hospital, South Indi

Cytogenetics abnormalities in acute leukemias of ambiguous lineage: First report of complex variant philadelphia translocations

Background: Acute leukemias of ambiguous lineage (ALAL) are incompletely characterized and are very rare, accounts< 4% of acute leukemias . In most leukaemias the cytogenetic and molecular genetic changes have emerged to be diagnostic as well as prognostic importance. Due to Lack of diagnostic criterias, it is difficult to establish cytogenetic features in ALAL. In present study we reviewed chromosomal aberrations, their molecular background, their prognostic relevance of ALAL & summarized some new chromosome aberrations along with probable mechanism of complex variant translocation. Design and Methods: Present study from Kidwai state cancer institute concentrated on cytogenetic findings of ALAL, especially B+Myeloid MPAL cases, more so regarding complex variant phildelphia chromosome translocations summarised diagnostic criteria based on WHO 2008 classification, clinical, immunophenotyping and molecular features, along with treatment & follow up. Results: Among 32 cases of ALAL cases, 28 MPAL cases reported in the present study 13 cases were B/Myeloid, followed by B+T MPAL, T+Myeloid .4 cases of undifferentiated and unclassifiable leukemias were reported. B/myeloid MPAL were in majority, 13 cases. Cytogenetics abnormality was detected in 4 cases of B/myeloid MPAL. 3 cases were Ph +, another case was hyperdiploid, surprisingly out of 3 Ph+ cases, 2 cases (66.6%) showed complex variant Phildelphia chromosome. Conclusion: B+MYELOID MPAL revealed significant cytogenetic abnormalities. Although Ph+ is reported in MPAL, complex variant Ph with 4 or 3 way translocations are not reported in ALAL especially in B/Myeloid MPAL .Immunophenotyping & cytogenetics in ALAL should be mandatory. Multiple levels of genetic heterogeneity exist in these leukemias with variant Ph translocations. Prognosis improves when treated with Imatinib

Rare Entities of Mixed Phenotypic Acute Leukemia: Are They Really So Rare? Largest Series of B+T MPAL

Background: MPAL are rare, accounts 4% of acute leukemias. B+T MPAL are extremely rare. There is no robust information on the clinical and biologic features of these leukemias. Present study from kidwai memorial institute of oncology focused on MPAL rare types, especially B+T MPAL. Design and Methods: We attempted to classify MPAL, based on WHO 2008 classification and attempted to summarise diagnostic criteria, cytochemistry, immunophenotyping, cytogenetics & clinical features of B+T MPAL. Results: Most MPAL cases reported were B/Myeloid, followed by B+T MPAL, T+Myeloid , undifferentiated and unclassifiable leukemias respectively. Conclusion: Among MPAL unusual high incidence of B+T MPAL (38.4%) was noted. Overall median survival was 5 years
