Studies on helminth parasites of some vertebrates in Kashmir: monographic study on Avitellina Gough, 1911 and studies on the Nematode parasites of the shrew and rat in Kashmir.
No full textThe study deals with the monographic study on Avitellina Gough and nematode parasites of crocidura species and Rattus rattus (the common rat) in Kashmir. The thesis comprises of 5 sections (A-E) with a total of 119 plates including 169 text figures and 78 photomicrographs.
Section A deals with historical and taxonomical; revision of the species of genus Avitellina Gough and incidence of infection of the three cistode genera Avitellina Gough, Stilesia Railliet and Moniezia.
Section B pertains to the histo-morphology of Avitellina Centripunctata contripunicata n. comb.
Section C deals with a new variety A. (A) C. Kargilensis from a goat from Kargil, Ladakh and Kashmir.
Section D contains description about 4 new nematode species, Skrajabino-Capillaria multipapillata. Physaloptera Kashmirensis Gongylonema soricis indica from crocidura species and Physaloptera ratti from Rattus rattus.
Section E gives details in the form of an appendi
A study of the electrocardiogram in the healthy adult population of Kashmir.
No full textIt analyses 300 E.C.G records from healthy individuals in the age group of 11-40 years under basal conditions. The influence of environmental, technical and individual variables on the electrocardiography record is discussed and the necessity of obtaining tracings under basal conditions is stressed. The results obtained regarding the limits of normal for various wave and intervals of human electrocardiogram in health are compared to established norms given in the books. It concludes that the various norms are arbitrary. Although majority of cases fall within the normal but there is good proportion of cases whose records fall outside normal criteria yet these cases are in perfect health
Studies on the scales, age and growth of fresh water fishes of Kashmir, with conformation of results by otoliths, opercula and vertebrae
No full textThe object of the study is to determine the age of the fresh water fishes of Kashmir by using ‘scales’. The scales give a clue to the age of the fish as shown by the annulations of annular bands/rings around centre or nucleus. Since radii and centre is found to be of little use in age determination, the use of scales in the determination of age of fishes is confined to marine fishes. However, It reports that recent studies as those of Huttom (1921), Laglar (1947), Hiyama (1952) , Nutraja (1963) have established the feasibility of age determination with the help of scales in fresh water fishes. The study on ‘scale readings’ relate to opercula, otoloths and vertebrae only with reconsideration of annuli and circuli.Different types, arrangement, modification, importance of scales in fish systematic are also studied
Cytogenetic studies in genus mentha.
No full textCytogenetic studies of 16 species consisting of 33 texa and about 100 geographical races collected in the world, India and received from botanical gardens of Europe and Japan is conducted. Chromosome numbers of 16 species and 33 varieties are determined and tabulated. These numbers range from 2n=20 to 2n=120 and fall into the two basic numbers x=5 and x=6.M. Longifolia (linn) Huds; M.rotundifolia Linn. , M.spicata Linn; are M. niliaca Linn, M.arvensis Linn and M. Pulegium Linn are considered to be the basic species in the genus. A detailed studies of the cytology of these basic species is presented which show regular meiosis. A series of texa derived from the basic species are found and these fall into three complexes i.e M. Pulegium Linn, M.piperta and M.arvensis
A study of the electrocardiographic evidence of ischaemic heart disease in Kashmir.
No full textThe study investigates the electrocardiographic evidence of ischemic heart disease in Kashmir. The study covers 150 normal adults, 45 of them had a sure or doubtful history of previous angina pectoris and were subjected to E.C.G examination, at rest, and after exercise test. It reveals that 4 of the 45 patients with suspected history of angina have positive E.C.G findings. This is also true about 5 of the later group findings and 10 of these subsequently show positive E.C.G. changes. After exercise 128 cases with normal resting of E.C.G 19 (14.8) reveals presence of coronary artery disease. The important signs on exercise E.C.G identified by researcher are: S-T Segment depression, inverted T waves nearly equal in all leads, T-U segment depression. It further reveals that coronary artery disease has no relation to socio-economic status or community of the subjects. However, chest pain leads to give more positive information during exercises and does not have any correlation to subsequent E.C.G finding
A study of oxalate metabolism in normal Kashmiri adults.
No full textIt is an analysis of sixty subjects selected at random with respect to urinary and serum oxalate levels. It states that in majority of cases excretion ranged from 10-30 mgs in 24hours. However, it is reported slightly higher in females and was directly related to urine volume. It had no relation to serum oxalate level, this was true even after high oxalate diet.
It reveals that oxalic acid excretion in Kashmir's is within normal level even in spite of high oxalate content of food. It feels that inability to increase urinary excretion of oxalate even after high oxalate content diet possibly means that oxalate is not absorbed to great extent and the excretion is mainly due to endogenous production
The aphididae of north west India with special reference to aphide of Jammu and Kashmir state.
No full textThe thesis deals with the taxonomic study based on extensive collections of the Ephididae (plant-lice) in N.W. India. Keys to the sub families, tribes, genera and species are elaboratedand modified and reconstructed to facilitate the study of aphids of this region. The study contains two new genera, seven new species and one new sub species . These are:- (1) Indio Chaitophorus (2) Aspidophorodon. New species (1) Indio Chairtophorus furcutus (2) Aspidophorodon harvensis (3) Cinara India (4) Dactynotus Kashmiricus (5) Dactynotus Preudotanaceti (6) Nasonovia Jammuensis (7) Micromyzodiumdasi. New sub species are :( 1) Macrosiphum(sitobion) and smilaceti dalhousiensis. A complete and up-to-date revised list of entire aphids of India is included
Studies on the ovarian cycles of Kashmir fishes Schizothorax niger Heckel and Botia Birdi Chandry with observations on nucleolar extrusions and problem of corpus luteum in fishes.
No full textThe work studies the morphology, seasonal variations in the ovaries; the nuclear change and vitellogenesis; the microscopic seasonal variations in the ovaries in the fishes. The study contains information about spawning season of Schizothorax Niger (from April to May) and of Botia birdi (from 15th August to 15th September).It studied the increase in weight and volume of ovaries of Botia birdi and growth in ovaries of Schizothorax Niger. The germinal epithelium associated with the production of Oocytes is also studied. The sub germinal tunica albuginea, stroma, interstitial cells, cell membrane, vitelline membrane, theca, cytoplasm, nucleolar extrusions and corpus luteum are discussed. The observation and conclusion elaborated in the thesis contain results pertaining to the breeding season
