Diabetic women are significantly more prone to develop vaginitis (both bacterial and fungal) than non diabetic. Among the positive cases predominant bacterial isolate being E. Coli. All fungus positive culture yielded the growth of candida species. Direct wet film preparation of the fungus positive cases revealed only 30% were positive for fungus, thus if candida vaginitis is suspected, the diagnosis cannot be ruled out on the basis of negative direct preparation. More over, diabetics should be advised maintain proper glycaemic control and personal hygiene to get rid of this distressing problem.

The relationship between height and weight in young healthy Indian girls (8--18 years) was developed. It is concluded that the relationship of the form:log w = 0.98 h + 0.14 holds good to the data on height h (in metres) and weight w (in kilograms) for this group of subjects, the logarithm is taken to the base 10. The results of the present study show that Ehrenberg's equation of the form : log w = 0.8 h + 0.4 may not be extended upto the age of 18 years in young healthy Indian girls.

Faeces charcoal mixtures containing eggs of sheep hookworm, Haemonchus contortus were exposed to caesium radiations (23 r to 1656 r) from 1st to 7th day of incubation. Each plate was exposed only once. A dose related inhibition of transformation of eggs to infective larvae was observed. The maximum effect was observed on 2nd day of incubation. The radiation has maximum effect on the 1st stage larvae followed by 2nd stage. The 3rd stage or ineffective larvae are relatively resistant to the effect of radiation.

From our study it is clear that lincomycin, given 300 mg intra muscularly daily in a single dose, is effective in a wide range of soft tissue infections especially those involving the head and neck region. An overall success rate of 88.8 per cent was observed in the 150 patients selected for the study. It is significant that in none of the subjects was any untoward reaction observed or reported. Hitherto all the previous systematic surveys on lincomycin appear to have been carried out on bone infections where, undoubtedly, lincomycin is highly effective. This pilot study furnishes an encouraging report on the successful treatment of soft tissue infections with parenteral lincomycin.

A total of 1629 cases were included in the study for the presence of intestinal parasites during 12 mobile camps in different areas of Himachal Pradesh. 47.08% were positive for parasites. The prevalence rate of helminthic parasites was 32.41% and that of protozoal parasites was 20.81%. The parasitic prevalence has been discussed in the light of peculiar geographical situation of the area.
