ABSTRACT
Background:Organophosphate are one of the common pesticides in India most of the farmers use this pesticides in crop without taking proper precautions during in crops without taking proper precaution during spraying, so they are very much prom to accidental poising, both acute and chronic. Not only farmers but other population is also exposed to this Organophosphorus poisoning (Chronic) because of contamination of the vegetables and fruits with organo-phosphorous pesticides there are variety of chemical agents in this group. Most chemical warfare nerve agents such as GA (Tabun) GB (Sarin) Gd(Soman) are Organophosphate. Aim of study: To study the electrocardio graphic changes in organo-phosphorous poisoning and their relationship to the prognosis. Methods:We have conducted the study on 100 organo-phosphorous poisoning patients from Sep 2017 to Feb 2018 and analyzed the electrocardiographic changes accordingly. Result: Peak age incidence is 20-3o years during rainy season (June – October) Most common abnormality is QTCinterval prolongation is 38% sinus tachycardia is due to nicotinic effect. Conclusion: ECG can be used as one of the prognostic factors while treating the O.P poising patients in emergency department
ABSTRACT
Pigments from two different isolates of Cercospora personata CP3 & CP4 were proved to be pathogenic, toxigenic and photosensitive. Spectral characters of the pigments were studied and correlated with their phytotoxicity to groundnut leaves. The red pigment from CP4 isolates was more toxic, caused highest degree of necrosis, and was identified as cercosporin. Further cytotoxic functions of cercosporin were also studied in an attempt to understand the major cause of hepatic cancers in communities at high risk.
