ABSTRACT
Rose Bengal is used as a photo sensitizer in photo galvanic cell for solar energy conversion and TEAis used as an electron donor in this study. The effects of various parameters like pH, light intensity, diffusion length, reductant concentration and dye concentration on the electrical output of the cell is studied. The photo potential and photocurrent generated by this cell are 840 mV and 145μA, respectively. The current voltage (i–V) characteristic of the cell is also studied and a mechanism for the generation of photocurrent is proposed.
ABSTRACT
Lymphangitis carcinomatosa most commonly due to primary malignancy originating in the breast, stomach, pleura and prostate but may also originate from the lung itself. It is clinically characterised by progressing dyspnoea with or without cough even at an early stage. We report the case of a patient with squamous cell lung cancer presenting with asymptomatic lymphangitis carcinomatosa.

A rare case of chylothorax complicating sex cord tumour of ovary in a young girl is being reported here. It was successfully managed by using a multipronged strategy consisting of chemotherapy, total parentral nutrition and bleomycin pleurodesis.

A study of 500, cases with follow up period of 1 to 10 years were treated by conservative and operative means. The result of conservative treatment in type III and IV fractures were comparatively favourable with result of operative treatment in same grade of fractures. It can be concluded that if an anatomical reduction was achieved by proportioned vertical and horizontal traction forces and the reduction was monitored by periodic skiagram till sound clinical and reasonable radiological union, good functional end result could be obtained.

Death due to scleredema is rare. We report a patient with scleredema, which had an acute onset and rapid progression, leading to death within a month. Such an acute course terminating in fatality has not been described earlier.
