Item Bioactivity of marine organisms: Part VII--Effect of seaweed extract on central nervous system.(1994-06-01) Kamat, S Y; Wahidulla, S; D'Souza, L; Naik, C G; Ambiye, V; Bhakuni, D S; Jain, S; Goel, A K; Srimal, R CAlcohol extracts of marine algae (Rhodophyceae, Phaeophyceae and Chlorophyceae) were screened for their effect on central nervous system. Of 69 species investigated 8 appeared biologically active, 6 being CNS stimulant and two depressant, sites and dates of collection are given.Item Comparison of closure of subcutaneous tissue versus non-closure in relation to wound disruption after abdominal hysterectomy in obese patients.(2000-01-16) Kore, S; Vyavaharkar, M; Akolekar, R; Toke, A; Ambiye, VAIMS: To evaluate the role of subcutaneous tissue closure in relation to wound disruption after abdominal hysterectomy in obese patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In a prospective study at a tertiary referral centre in Mumbai, India, 60 obese patients with subcutaneous fat more than 2.5 cms were included in the study. In 30 patients, subcutaneous tissue was closed using synthetic suture (dexon) while in 30 control patients subcutaneous tissue was not closed. Average weight in the study and control groups were 69 -/+ 9.2 kg and 63.3 -/+ 11.2 kg respectively. RESULTS: The wound disruption occurred in 5 patients in non-closure group as compared to only one in the closure group. Incidence of seroma, haematoma formation and other wound complications were higher in the non-closure group. CONCLUSIONS: Closure of the subcutaneous tissue after abdominal hysterectomy of women with at least 2.5 cms of subcutaneous tissue lowers the overall rate of complications leading to disruption of the incision.Item Unconventional use of oxytocin.(1993-02-01) Allahbadia, G; Ambiye, V; Vaidya, PVarious agents are in wide clinical use for the purpose of inducing and or accelerating labour. Undoubtedly, the most widely used is oxytocin. The present study represents the experience in the use of oxytocin in unconventional obstetric cases. The study comprises 300 cases where oxytocin drip was used for the initiation of labour, acceleration of labour and to control postpartum haemorrhage in both unconventional and conventional cases. The results are analysed and compared in both the groups along with the complications. Oxytocin has proved to be so safe, that there is only one contra-indication to its use and that is a grossly contracted pelvis.
