RESUMEN
Thirty genotypes of kabuli chickpea were used to study the extent of genetic variability, correlation and path analysis for yield and yield contributing characters. Wider genetic variability with high heritability and high genetic advance as per cent of mean was recorded for number of primary branches per plant, biological yield per plant and seed yield per plant. Correlation studies revealed that seed yield was significantly and positively correlated with plant height, number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, number of pods per plant, 100-seed weight, harvest index and biological yield per plant. Path coefficient analysis indicated that biological yield per plant, number of pods per plant and harvest index had high positive direct effect on seed yield signifying the importance of these traits in improvement of seed yield.
RESUMEN
To study efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy [ESWL] monotherapy for renal calculi. Three hundred patients with renal stones less than 3.5 cm in diameter were selected. All were treated in supine position. Dornier HM4 machine was used for the study. JJ stent was placed in cases with complex and larger than 2.5cm size stones. Pregnant women and patients with pacemaker were excluded from the study. ESWL monotherapy was performed on three hundred patients and three hundred sixteen renal units between Jan. 98 and Dec. 98. Almost 50% of the stones were larger than 2 cm. Post ESWL complications were seen in 49 [16.2%] of the cases. Overall success rate of ESWL was 98.8%. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is a preferable treatment option for small and medium sized stones. Prophylactic JJ stenting helped in treating patients from far off areas. Complex renal calculi with low stone bulk could be treated with lithotripsy with JJ stent in situ
