In Search of……

A possibility only to the Six Sensed Human beings is on the verge of complete extinction – “HUMOR” Sense!!! Fast paced life and the phenomenal growth of the technology is grabbing the sense of HUMOR from man.

“What is this Life if full of care;

We have no time to Stand and Stare?!...” Life's journey is losing its sheen by the disappearance of HUMOR!!

HUMOR can be simple, subtle, sometimes thought provoking and satirical but nevertheless hurt the sentiments and personal feelings of the individual. Spontaneity in smile and whole hearted laughter is the natural glow of a HUMOUR. Humor cut across all boundaries. Reel comedy and humor are on the rise in movies but we are losing the same in our day to day life. Hefty price to be paid in the years to come unless we are awake to safeguard our humor as our life's treasure and preserve for the several generations!

Humor has to be inculcated and practiced consistently and effortlessly. Keen observation of our surroundings and fellow beings with whom loads of comedy exists is suffice to develop the same. Here is The Humor Gurukulam! Change of perception and Attitude towards everything in a lighter vein and carefree way in the correct sense are the pre-requisites for humor. Best and top of all is: The person who can laugh about Himself!! Nowadays, Our laughter and humor are in total reservation with the “non-living” tech gadgets and gizmos only; whereas the same are dwindling towards our “living” fellow beings!! Need of the hour is the introspection and recuperation!!!

Down due to the losses of lives, money, profession; Strain in the family and friends relationship; Devoid of love, affection and recognition from our near and dear ones; Wound to self respect and dignity; Grief stricken by natural calamities and disasters; Pushed to the corner of life and on the roads after losing everything; Living in a vegetable state losing the hope towards life; - Still if we can laugh with satire and lighter vein in a tone “ ALL THESE ARE SAPPA MATTER ….!!!”, no wonder we'll scale the Life's Everest of Happiness and Peace and we'll be the Real Beautiful Living Gods!!!

Cheers!!

Science SenseSPLIT HAND SPLIT FOOT SYNDROME - ECTRODACTYLY

Introduction:

Hands and feet have huge functional importance, because of the part played by them in the daily activities of a person. Apart from normal activities, they also have cosmetic significance.

Limb development begins when mesenchymal cells proliferate from the somatic layer of the lateral plate of mesoderm. These cells accumulate under epidermal tissue to create a circular bulge called Limb Bud.*

Limb bud remains active and its signaling stimulates AER-Apical ectodermal ridge and formation of ZPA-Zone of polarizing activity within the mesenchyme. AER activity is maintained by mesenchymal cells, determine what type of limb will form**

Science SenseThe genetic mutation will cause Ectodermal disorders which may affect the Mesodermal structures,so that AER activity, that leads to various deformities like SHSF.

Case Presentation :

60+years old Mrs.X was admitted in the medical ward for evaluation for fever of one month duration.. On examination the obvious, striking physical sign was deformed hands and feet otherwise normal on physical examination. Patient was investigated, found to be having UTI and managed with appropriate medications ,improved and discharged .

Birth/marriage/family Hx:

She was born of a non-consanguineous marriage, full-term by vaginal delivery, had no perinatal problems. Married his close relative, gave birth 6 children .All of them and the grand children have no any congenital anomalies. Her maternal uncle had a similar deformity, but not, his children.So, no similar deformity reported from family members of her previous and present generations.

This patient has the rare congenital anomaly “ cleft hand and foot syndrome”- called by various names –“Split Hand Split Foot syndrome”,and ”Lobster claw hand”. Reported in literature that SHSF may be associated with-syndactyl, symbractyly, Cleft lip and skin/hair disorder.

Pictures of Mrs.X

In the right hand the growth of thumb,ring,and little fingers are normal, absence of middle and incomplete growth of i n d e x f i n g e r. I n t h e l e f thand , i ncomple te growth of thumb, absence of index, middle finger

and normal growth of ring and little finger.th thRight foot shows complete growth of great toe,4 .and 5

nd rdtoes,absence of 2 . and 3 .In the Left foot complete growth of great toe,partly deformed little toe and

nd rd thabsence of 2 ,3 ,and 4 .toes.Unfortunately I did not take the X-Rays,which would have given more information about the growth of meta carpals and meta

tarsals. She has no skin,hair anomalies, or cleft lip/ palate .

Embroyological explanation :The ectoderm is one of the primitive embryonic components. This will give rise to nervous system, hair,teeth,nails,eyes,ears and nose. During development, the ectoderm undergoes complex interactions with mesoderm, so ectodermal disorders may lead to abnormalities of mesodermal structures such as the musculoskeletal and GU systems-****

There are five genetic mutation are known to be associated with SHFM, among them Type I the most common .Non-syndromal variety limited to hands and feet follows inheritance an autosomal dominant gene, but some case reports pointed out that,may be due reccesive also.

***The ectrodactyly phenotype and underlying AER defect. (A) Clinical variability of ectrodactyly. (B) Normal development of the autopod (top) and ectrodactyly malformation (bottom). Ectrodactyly is caused by a failure to maintain median AER activity (red) in the developing limb bud (left), leading to the absence of the central

SHSM also known as Ectrodactyly is a congenital limb malformation,charcterised by deep median cleft of the hand and/or foot due to absence of Central rays, associated hypoplasia / aplasia of the phalanges metacarpals and metatarsals.

Scientific findings:

No documented evidence to say these have medicinal property, but there are reports that they were used in traditional Chinese

medicine. Hence its very clear that research on this plant parts & uses are open to be documented in scientific literature.

These plants attracted my attention when they were included to the eco-system of our campus. Everyday these are among the few

type of potted ornamental plants at the entrance of our college corridor. Ever tried to know the names of these plants, their natural habitat? traditional or medicinal importance? Since Know Thy Eco was started as a series of writings on documentation of the plants and trees in the campus, we have included for the readers this plant which has literally no documented evidence on medicinal use.

PAUSE ....DOES THE PATIENT NEED A PACEMAKER?A pause on ECG can be due to many causes ranging from very benign to very severe condition requiring pacemaker.

Here we documented simple clinical ways to differentiate them

• CAUSES-

1 Sinus pause/Arrest

2 SA exit block

3 Sinus arrhythmias

4 Wenckebach (Mobitz type 1)

5 Non conducted Atrial Premature contractions

1 .Sinus pause / arrest-

When SA node fails to fire

2. SA exit block-

• SA node is firing on schedule but tissues around it not carrying the impulse

The pause will be equal to the multiplication of R-R interval.

3. Sinus arrhythmias-

It fluctuates with inspiration(HR increases)

4. Wenckebach (Mobitz type 1)

Cyclic lengthening of PR interval and followed by a dropped QRS complex. P wave will not be followed by a QRS complex

5. Non conducted premature Atrial contraction

• A pause will be there after a sinus rhythm

• P wave will submerge in T wave

WHAT IS A ATRIAL PREMATURE CONTRACTION (APC)?

• Abnormal early beat, not arising from SA node so P wave will not be normal

• P-P interval varies

• QRS complex will be narrow since APC comes from atrium and travels through AV node and use the normal conduction system to spread

• Usually no pause after a APC

Non conducted Atrial premature contraction (NCAPC)

• If a atrial contraction occurs when AV node has not recovered yet from refractory period, the APC fails to the ventricles and QRS complex will not be formed

• Ectopy will fall near the level of T wave

• The ECG will show a premature , ectopy (P wave) occurring and no QRS complex afterwards

• See the previous T morphology wave carefully. Because in NCAPC P wave submerges in T wave so the morphology will b changed

Summary-

Usually pacemaker indicates in sinus pause >3 second or with symptoms. Careful analysis of ECG will confirm benign cause and avoid needless pacemaker.
