The effect of intracerebroventricular T4 on certain hypothalamic i.e., POA and VMN and cortical i.e., HPC and CO loci was investigated by recording their electroencepgraphic activity after chronic implantation of cannulae and bipolar electrodes in ten male dogs. Recordings were made for two hours after the microinjection. The predominant pattern of EEG activity was a synchrony of brain waves in all derivations except for POA where biphasic desynchronization-synchronization was observed. Final synchrony suggest refractoriness of these loci to T4 which might be playing a protective role.

A case of pregnancy reaching term in a rudimentary non-communicating horn of the uterus is presented. The pregnancy resulted in the delivery of a live child by cesarian section. The case is being reported for the rarity with which the foetus survives in this condition.

Chronic and exhaustive exercise leads to a decline in mitogen-induced lymphocyte proliferation in-vitro and in-vivo. This is suggestive of decrease in cellular and humoral immunity. Majority of workers are of opinion that exercise-induced immunosuppression is related to the production of glucocorticoids in response to the stress associated with exercise.

The present study was carried out to evaluate the relative merits of ultrasonography and roentgenography in 50 cases of suspected cholecystolithiasis. The accuracy rate with roentgenography (plain X-ray abd, OCG and IVC) in the diagnosis of cholecystolithiasis was 92.5% where as it was 95% with ultrasonography. Oral cholecystography should be done in patients with normal ultrasound examination if the symptoms are strongly suggestive of cholecystolithiasis.
