Abstract
Ketosis in dairy animals originates from negative energy status, associated increased absorption, and production of ketone bodies exceeding their use by the ruminants as an energy source. The present therapeutic experiment was carried out in 29 herds of Chilika buffaloes in 16 villages of three adjoining districts of Chilika Lake, Puri, Khurda, and Ganjam. Twenty Chilika buffaloes, detected positive for subclinical ketosis, were randomly selected for the study and divided into 2 groups, groups II and III, and were treated with hypertonic dextrose solution intravenously or gluconeogenic precursors along with nicotinamide orally, along with other supportive drugs in both the groups. Ten lactating Chilika buffaloes with no signs of ketosis and detected negative on Rothera test were included in the study as healthy controls (group I). Blood and milk samples were collected from all the 30 recruited buffaloes on days 0 (pre-treatment), 7, 14, and 28 for haematological and biochemical analysis. The subclinical ketosis in Chilika buffaloes did not have overt clinical signs. However, close examination revealed gradual drop in milk yield (100%), inappetence (59%), debility (46%), and uncoordinated gait (10%) without excitatory nervous signs. On day 7 following treatment, blood glucose concentration increased significantly. The mean serum triglyceride concentration of group III, treated with gluconeogenic precursors with nicotinamide, continued to decline significantly on subsequent observations. The serum enzyme activity, indicating status of liver function, declined following treatment in both the therapeutic groups. The intravenous administration of hypertonic dextrose solution compared to use of oral gluconeogenic precursors along with nicotinamide efficiently restored recovery from the subclinical ketosis in Chilika buffaloes.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) interact with the microbes and host immune system to protect against diseases. Fertile broiler eggs (n = 900) were allotted to six groups: un-injected control, sham (sterile water), AgNPs (50 μg), AgNPs+Amino acids (Methionine-10 mg + Arginine-25 mg), AgNPs+Vitamins (Vit B1-72μg + Vit B6-140μg), and AgNPs+Trace Elements (Zn-80 μg and Se-0.3 μg) and incubated for 18 days. On 18th embryonic day, 0.6 ml test solution was injected at the broad end of egg using 25 mm needle and transferred to hatcher. Post-hatch, half of the chicks from each group were vaccinated with Newcastle disease (ND) vaccine, and the other half were kept as unvaccinated unit and reared for 42 d with standard management practices. Hatchability, 1st and 42nd d body weight, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio were similar between treatment groups in both vaccinated and unvaccinated units. The relative weight of bursa Fabricius and thymus was similar, but spleen weight was higher (P ≤ 0.05) in AgNPs, AgNPs+Vits, and AgNPs+TEs chicks than control group. Cellular immune response (against mitogen phytohemagglutinin-P) was higher (P ≤ 0.05) in AgNPs+TEs chicks, whereas HA titer against sheep red blood cells antigen, serum IgG, IgM, and HI titer against ND vaccine was apparently higher in AgNPs+Vits group chicks than control. No clinical symptoms were observed in the vaccinated groups except for a few control birds 6 days postchallenge (PC). Three days PC, unvaccinated birds show depression, off feed, greenish diarrhea, and nasal discharge and the control group started dying. The highest cumulative infection (CI) was observed in sham (79.17%) and un-injected control (75%), but lowest in AgNPs+AAs birds (58.33%) on 3rd dpi. The CI reached 100% on 5th dpi in control groups and AgNPs, and 91.67% and 93.75% in AgNPs+TEs and AgNPs+AAs group, respectively. The AgNPs+TEs and AgNPs+AAs group birds lived for more than 90 h compared to 75 h in control groups and also had higher IL-6 and IL-2 gene expressions at 24 h PC. It was concluded that 50 μg/egg AgNPs with vitamins (B1 and B6) and trace elements (Zn and Se) improved performance, but AgNPs with trace elements and amino acids enhanced immune response and resistance against vND virus challenge in broilers.

Abstract
Aim: The study was designed to evaluate the hemato-biochemical alterations, urinalysis along with histomorphological and histological changes of prostate glands in dogs affected with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in and around Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. Materials and Methods: In toto, 445 dogs presented to the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex of the College of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry, one Government Veterinary Hospital and two pet clinics in and around Bhubaneswar screened for the presence of BPH. Most of the 57 dogs were 6 years and above as reported by the owners. Only 57 dogs found positive for BPH basing on the presence of typical clinical signs subjected for a detailed hemato-biochemical study. Most of the 57 dogs were 6 years and above as reported by the owners. Routine and microscopic urinalyses were done as per the routine procedure. Histomorphological evaluations of prostate glands were done through manual rectal palpation. Histological examinations of prostate tissue sections of two dead dogs were conducted with routine hematoxylin and eosin stain. Results: The study revealed about 12.8% (57/445) of dogs was suffering from BPH. Typical clinical signs - such as passing small thin tape-shaped feces, holding tail away from backward, tenesmus, and straining during urination and defecation - were seen in most of the cases. Urine samples of affected dogs were positive for glucose, occult blood, and protein. A significant decrease in lymphocytes and increase in eosinophil counts in dogs with BPH was recorded. Serum biochemical analysis showed a nonsignificant increase in creatinine and blood urea nitrogen with a significant decrease in total protein, albumin, globulin, A:G ratio. Histology of prostate glands collected during postmortem was characterized by fibrosis of prostate gland, and hyperplasia of the acinar epithelium. Conclusions: High rate of the prevalence of BPH in dogs poses an alarming condition which if diagnosed at an early stage can certainly prolong the longevity of the dogs.

Abstract
AIM The experiment was carried out to evaluate different external and internal egg quality traits and to figure out their mode of inheritance from a set of hierarchically classified data. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data collected from 548 progenies (1 egg from each progeny) of 282 dams mated to 47 sires (1 sire mated to 6 dams) of a White Leghorn flock were used in the present study. Phenotypic means and their standard errors were calculated for all the quality traits. Heritabilities were estimated for these traits separately from "sire," "dam" and "sire+dam" (full-sib) components of variance using Statistical Package for Social Sciences-17 program. RESULTS External quality traits such as; egg weight, length, width, shape index, surface area, shell weight, shell thickness, shell ratio, and internal quality traits such as; length, width, height, and weight of albumen and yolk, albumen index, albumen ratio, Haugh unit (H.U.), yolk diameter, yolk index, yolk ratio, and yolk albumen ratio were measured in 548 eggs of the experimental White Leghorn flock. The eggs were found to have optimum weight (57.78±0.20 g), shape index (73.53±0.18) and shell characteristics (6 g, 0.32 mm) as per its genetic potential. Higher values for albumen height (8.41±0.04) mm and H.U. (92.00±0.19) are attributable to the freshness of eggs and proper age of hens. Heritability estimates from "sire" component of variance were higher than "dam" and "sire+dam" components for the traits like egg weight, length, width, shape index, surface area, albumen width, albumen index, H.U., yolk width, yolk height, yolk weight, and yolk index whereas for rest of the traits the values estimated from "dam" component were higher. Estimates from "sire+dam" component were intermediate to the estimates derived from "sire" and "dam" components. CONCLUSION The heritability estimates from different egg quality traits were moderate to high. Since most of the traits have high heritability values, these traits can be improved by mass selection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) continues to affect millions of children in developing countries. Aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of myocardial dysfunction in the genesis of heart failure in patients with rheumatic carditis. There are limited studies on this subject. METHODS AND RESULTS In this prospective study, 108 consecutive patients of ARF were evaluated by echocardiography and assay of cardiac troponin I blood levels. The patients were divided into three groups. Group A (n = 30): patients with no evidence of carditis; Group B (n = 45): patients with first attack of carditis; and group C (n = 33): patients with recurrent attacks of carditis. Left ventricular dimensions tended to be larger in Group B and C patients. Left ventricular ejection fraction did not differ between the groups (Group A: 63 +/- 8.1%, Group B: 58 +/- 7.9%, Group C: 61.2 +/- 9%, p = ns). Heart failure was present in 37.7% patients of Group B, and in 60.6% patients of Group C (p = < 0.05). Ejection fraction was normal in majority of heart failure patients (75.7%). It was reduced in 29.4% of patients in Group B and in 20% of Group C patients with heart failure (p = ns). All patients with low ejection fraction had hemodynamically significant regurgitant valvular lesions. Mean cardiac troponin I values, an index of myocardial damage, did not differ between the three groups (Group A: 0.062 +/- 0.027 ng/ml, Group B: 0.068 +/- 0.019 ng/ml, Group C: 0.071 +/- 0.031 ng/ml, p = ns). CONCLUSION The present study did not demonstrate any echocardiographic abnormalities or cardiac troponin I elevation suggesting significant myocardial involvement during acute rheumatic fever. This lends credence to the view that myocardial involvement does not play any significant role in the genesis of heart failure in patients with rheumatic carditis.

Abstract
Although genetical inheritance is an well established fact with medullary cancer of thyroid no such clear cut proof exist with papillary or follicular neoplasm of thyroid It's a fact that family clusters of non-medullary thyroid tumor exist, it requires more precise identification of genetical inheritance These clusters behave in a separate way and requires a more aggressive treatment for low recurrence rate and better prognosis.

Abstract
The severity of anaemia associated with acute, Plasmodium falciparum malaria and the extent to which haemolysis, bone-marrow suppression, and pre-existent iron deficiency contribute to the anaemia were assessed in 102 Indian children aged 2-12 years. Blood haemoglobin (Hb), plasma unconjugated bilirubin and haptoglobin, serum iron and transferrin concentrations and transferrin saturation, red cell morphology and reticulocyte response were investigated in the patients and in 50 control children. Twenty-three patients with severe anaemia (< 70 g Hb/litre) were investigated further, by bone-marrow biopsy followed by iron staining of sections or touch smears of the biopsy material. There was evidence of haemolysis in the malaria cases: in the peripheral blood smears and the significantly higher plasma concentrations of unconjugated bilirubin, lower plasma concentrations of haptoglobin and lower blood concentrations of Hb than those seen in the controls. Haemoglobin concentration correlated directly with haptoglobin (r = 0.489; P < 0.001) and inversely with unconjugated bilirubin in malaria patients (r = -0.526; P < 0.001) but not in controls (r = -0.140 and -0.061, respectively). Parasitaemia (parasites/microliter) was not significantly correlated with Hb, haptoglobin or unconjugated bilirubin. Compared with the earlier samples, follow-up samples from the patients, collected 2 weeks after discharge from hospital and antimalarial therapy, showed significant increase in Hb, haematocrit, haptoglobin and decreases in both total and unconjugated bilirubin. There was evidence of hypercellularity and mild-moderate erythroid hyperplasia, mainly of normoblastic maturation with adequate reticulocyte response, in the bone-marrow samples from the cases of severe anaemia; dyserythropoiesis was only noticed in one case and no stainable iron was detectable in 17 of the 23 cases. These observations indicate that haemolysis is the prime cause of the anaemia seen in acute falciparum malaria, although destruction of parasitised erythrocytes is not the sole cause of the haemolytic process. Bone-marrow suppression appears to have an insignificant role but pre-existent iron deficiency aggravates the severity of the anaemia.

Abstract
With the emergence of widespread chloroquine resistance and a world-wide scarcity of quinine, a search for newer antimalarial drugs has become imperative. Different derivatives of qinghaosu have been successfully tried. alpha,beta-Arteether, an ethyl derivative of qinghaosu, was administered to 51 patients with Plasmodium falciparum malaria, in a dose of 150 mg intramuscularly once a day on 3 consecutive days. Complete parasite clearance from the peripheral blood was observed in 80% of the patients at 48 h and in 98% at 72 h. The median parasite clearance time was 2 d (range 1-4 d). 65% of the patients became afebrile within 48 h and 81% by 72 h. The mean fever clearance time was 52.04 h (standard deviation 27.09). No side effect was seen. Patients were followed-up for 4 weeks; 7 were readmitted with P. falciparum infection but it could not be ascertained definitely whether these cases were reinfections or recrudescences. alpha-beta Arteether was a safe, effective and convenient drug for treating P. falciparum malaria. This is the first clinical study with arteether in falciparum malaria.

Abstract
3 cases of congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia (type I, case 3; type III, cases 1 and 2) are reported with a follow-up of 8-10 years. Conventional therapy with vitamins, steroids and/or anabolic hormones was ineffective. Regular blood transfusions were required to maintain the haemoglobin levels around 8 g/dl. Splenectomy, however, resulted in a sustained rise in haemoglobin without blood transfusions. During the follow-up period varying from 40 to 77 months after splenectomy, diabetes mellitus was detected in all 3 patients. Liver biopsy showed haemosiderosis in 2 patients with cirrhosis in one of them. It is suggested that splenectomy could be an effective mode of therapy to reduce the need for blood transfusion in congenital dyserythropoietic anaemias.
