Inland aquaculture in India: Past trend, present status and future prospects

In India, inland aquaculture has emerged as a fast-growing enterprise and a viable alternative to the declining capture fisheries. The present paper is an attempt to assess Indian inland aquaculture with respect to its resource base, output trends, systems and activities, yield gaps, adoption and impact on aquaculturists, economics, returns to inputs, investment needs, and future prospects. The paper is largely based on existing literature and observations made as part of an ICAR-WorldFish demand supply project. Indian aquaculture is primarily limited to inland sector and carp-oriented; for that reason, this activity received special attention. Freshwater aquaculture observed tremendous growth in the past 15 years, but immense scope still exists for horizontal expansion and increases in productivity (vertical expansion)

Study of Association and Significance of Hyponatremia in Patients with Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (LRTI)

Introduction: Pneumonia, the severe form of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in children especially from the developing nations. Pneumonia is the infection and associated inflammation of the lung parenchyma. Pneumonia is the leading infectious killer of under 5 children claiming more lives than any other diseases. The burden is more in the developing nations. Around 15% of under 5 mortality is attributed to pneumonia. Hyponatremia is a common electrolyte imbalance which occurs in children with pneumonia. Many studies have reported the incidence of hyponatremia around 40 to 45%. Aim & Objective-: To see the frequency of hyponatremia in patients with LRTI & its significance in relation to disease severity. Materials & Methods:  It was a hospital based observational study. The study has been conducted in the Department of pediatrics, S C B Medical college hospital & SVPPPGIP, Cuttack. Result: Hyponatremia was a frequent finding in children with bronchopneumonia (44.6%). Patients with hyponatremia group had initial high body temperature in present study (101.9ºc vs99.7). Conclusion: There is importance of measuring serum electrolytes in patients with LRTI. Appropriate fluid should be done in case of LRTI
