Item Echocardiography and its clinical application.(1985-07-01) Sarkar, S; Nandi, SItem Effect of ovine follicular fluid peptide on ovarian responses and other organ weights in rats, Rattus norvegicus Berkenhout 1769.(2006-11-09) Nandi, S; Kumar, V Girish; Gupta, P S PThe present study was aimed to study the effect of an ovine follicular fluid peptide on ovarian follicle and good oocyte numbers and weights of ovary, uterus, liver, pancreas and kidney in rats, R. norvegicus. A 30.1 kDa peptide was isolated from ovine follicular fluid by ammonium sulphate precipitation and then gel filtration. The peptide was tested at various levels in normal (22 and 36 day-old), superovulated (29 day-old) immature and 121-day old mature rats on the ovarian responses and other organ weights. The isolated peptide inhibited the growth of antral follicles in normal and superovulated rats. Ovarian, uterine weight and recovery of good oocytes were reduced when the peptide was administered at 100 microg dose. The peptide had no effect on kidney, liver, pancreas weight and recovery of preantral follicles.Item Emerging facets of diastolic heart failure.(1994-10-01) Banerjee, P; Dutta, A L; Dutta, S; Nandi, S; Sengupta, A; Ghose, J COne hundred patients with congestive cardiac failure (52 males and 48 females) with age ranging from 16 to 56 yrs (mean age 42 +/- 6) were studied to determine the relative prevalence of systolic and diastolic failures, their clinical profiles and common aetiologies. Age matched 25 control subjects were also studied to established a normal range of echocardiographic values for LV diastolic function. Thirty eight patients (38%) were found to have pure diastolic heart failure and another 5 (5%) and 57 (57%) were detected to have mixed and systolic failures respectively. An attempt to correlate the clinical assessment of diastolic failure with echo doppler study showed the sensitivity and specificity of the clinical criteria for diagnosis of diastolic heart failure to be 100% and 91.94% respectively. Of the 38 cases of diastolic failure detected 39.5% had hypertension, 31.6% ischaemic heart disease and 13.16% hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.Item Portal hypertensive gastropathy and gastric varices before esophageal variceal sclerotherapy and after obliteration.(1998-01-18) De, B K; Ghoshal, U C; Das, A S; Nandi, S; Mazumder, D NOBJECTIVES: To evaluate the frequency and clinical importance of portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG) and gastric varices (GV) before endoscopic sclerotherapy (EST) and after esophageal variceal obliteration. METHODS: Patients with portal hypertension (PHT) with variceal bleed were prospectively evaluated for PHG and GV before EST with intravariceal injection of absolute alcohol and after esophageal variceal obliteration. Gastric varices and PHG were characterized and graded according to previously established criteria. Patients were followed up for 12-48 (mean 37) months after variceal obliteration. RESULTS: Of 70 patients with PHT 26 had PHG before (severe in two) [18/37 in cirrhosis, 6/20 in non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis (NCPF), and 2/13 in extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO)] and 50 had PHG after variceal obliteration (severe in 22) (27/37 in cirrhosis, p = 0.03 before versus after esophageal variceal obliteration; 16/20 in NCPF, p < 0.01; and 7/13 in EHPVO, p = ns). Type I GV (continuation of esophageal varix into the stomach) was found in 25/70 before and 5/70 after esophageal variceal obliteration (p < 0.001); in contrast, other types of GV were seen in 14/70 before and 29/70 after (p < 0.01). Overt bleeding from GV and PHG during follow-up after variceal obliteration occurred in 6 and 4 patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Esophageal variceal obliteration by EST increases the frequency of PHG and GV (except type I GV which get obliterated); both PHG and GV have potential to cause rebleeding.Item A rare case of primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of lung.(2014-07) Mukherjee, S; Dattachaudhuri, A; Bhanja, P; Deb, J; Begum, S; Bhuniya, S; Nandi, SA 33-year-old male presented with repeated episodes of blood-streaked sputum for last one-and half-year. Chest radiograph showed consolidation in the right lower zone. Fibreoptic bronchoscopy revealed an endoluminal growth in the right lower lobe bronchus. Histopathological examination of bronchoscopic biopsy specimen confirmed adenoid cystic carcinoma.
