Item Multiplane transesophageal echocardiography: our initial experience.(1994-05-01) Kasliwal, R R; Bhaskaran, A; Omar, A; Gill, R; Mittal, S; Bhatia, M L; Trehan, NWe present our experience in the diagnostic assessment of a wide spectrum of cardiovascular disorders using multiplane transesophageal echocardiography (MP-TEE). Two hundred and seventeen patients in the age range of 11-71 years were subjected to MP-TEE from January to November 1993. The male:female ratio was 1.1:1. One hundred and ten patients had predominantly mitral valve disease of rheumatic origin, eleven had mitral valve prolapse, twenty patients had aortic valve disease and thirty seven patients had more than one valve involvement. Six patients with suspected prosthetic heart valve dysfunction and ten patients of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy were also studied. Two patients had unexplained pulmonary hypertension, three had pericardial disease and three had proximal aortic dissections. Twenty six patients with congenital heart disease were studied of which nineteen had atrial septal defects, one had corrected transposition of great vessels with pulmonic stenosis and one adult had Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve. In our experience, MP-TEE enhances the versatility of TEE by providing incremental diagnostic information and enhancing delineation of pathology. The procedure was well-tolerated and no complications occurred.Item Production of extracellular proteases and amylases by some acidophilic and alkalophilic bacteria.(1996-03-01) Sharma, A; Ball, B; Gill, R; Hasija, S KTwelve bacteria were isolated from two effluent sources of Shaw-Wallace Gelatins, Jabalpur. Six bacteria from dicalcium phosphate plant effluent (pH-5) and six from main drain of the factory (pH-10) were isolated. Two facultatively acidophilic and two facultatively alkalophilic bacteria were selected and tentatively identified as Plesiomonas shigelloides, Aeromonas hydrophilla, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus saprophyticus respectively. Acidic amylases were produced in higher amounts on 4th day of incubation by Plesiomonas shigelloides and on 6th day by Aeromonas hydrophilla. Alkaline amylases were produced in higher amounts on 4th day of incubation by Klebsiella pneumoniae and on 8th day by Staphylococcus saprophyticus in vitro.
