From the present study it can be concluded that both the procedures have their own importance and no one can substitute the other, in diagnosing all the diseases. HSG has been found to be more rewarding in cases of abnormalities of the lumen of uterus and fallopian tubes for their patency. On the other hand laparoscopy has been more rewarding for the abnormalities of the surface of uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. It is suggested that in all the cases of infertility both the procedures should be done and the HSG should be done first followed by laparoscopy.

The blood pressure of 1275 subjects of both sexes in relation to four skinfolds at biceps, triceps, subscapular and supra-iliac was studied. A positive relationship is observed between these two variables. The mean systolic and diastolic pressures increase from lower to higher skinfold thickness groups in both sexes for all the four skinfolds. The sex difference is conspicuous and significant for systolic pressure. However only a few groups show significant sex difference for diastolic pressure. In males the correlations between blood pressure and skinfolds were significant, while in females it is significant between diastolic blood pressure and biceps and triceps skin thicknesses only.

He was treated by feeding jejunostomy and local palliative radiotherapy and showed good clinical improvement. The extreme rarity of such a presentation is highlighted.
