ABSTRACT
Investigations have been carried out on the relative preference of U. mukerjii to four common species viz., C. maculatus, C. analis, C. chinensis and Zabrotes subfasciatus of store bruchids. Results show correspondence between the acceptance/contact ratio and the total number of eggs laid by the parasitoid for Callosobruchus species. U. mukerjii shows maximum preference on C. maculatus followed by C. analis, C. chinensis and Z. subfasciatus in the decreasing order. Z. subfasciatus has been the least preferred host having 2-3% parasitization in choice situation. Percentage emergence of the adults and females differ insignificantly from each other in Callosobruchus species. In no choice experiments, U. mukerjii laid sufficient number of eggs in the eggs of C. chinensis and Z. subfasciatus but less number of eggs in a choice situation due to competition with the preferred host. As is evident, U. mukerjii gives the first preference to primary host C. maculatus. Moreover, the congeneric species i.e C. analis and C. chinensis are given more preference than Z. subfasciatus.

Neonatal anuria is not an uncommon problem in neonates. Here, we report an unusual case of neonatal anuria due to renal tubular dysgenesis, secondary to the use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) during pregnancy. ACEI remains one of the most commonly used antihypertensive drug at present. A greater awareness needs to be created in the medical fraternity especially among pediatricians, gynecologists and internists that ACE inhibitors should not be prescribed during any trimester of pregnancy.

The left internal thoracic vein was accidentally cannulated during an attempt to establish central vein catheterization through left internal jugular vein. The surgeon found this during left internal mammary artery dissection and it needed to be repositioned.
