Association of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with renal calculi is very rare. Herein we report a case of RCC developing in a non-functioning kidney containing multiple renal and ureteric calculi. Histologically, the kidney, in addition, revealed changes of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP). XGP can be confused clinically, grossly and microscopically with RCC. In the present case both were coexistent and thus make it interesting.

The results of highly selective vagotomy in 174 Indian patients have been analysed. Compared to other procedures on the stomach, HSV has a definite advantage both on long term as well as on short term basis. HSV has therefore become the procedure of choice in the treatment of duodenal ulcer disease provided the expertise is available locally. HSV has also been used now in the treatment of ulcer complications and benign gastric ulcer disease.

The infant and early childhood mortality, its causes and associated factors were studied prospectively, in twelve Anganwadi centres, situated in urban slums of Patna from 1st January, 1987 to 31st December, 1987. A strict recording of births and deaths was done by Anganwadi workers, with monthly verifications by authors. The causes of death were established on the basis of clinical and corroborative enquiry from the parents. The birth rate was found to be 29.25, death rate 13.1, infant mortality rate 64.65/1000. Neonatal and post neonatal mortality rates were 49.42/1000 and 15.21/1000, respectively. Mortality in children between 1-3 years (11.3/1000) was higher in comparison to that of 3-6 years (9.1/1000). Low birth weight (25.52%) and perinatal infection (23.52%) were the major causes of infant mortality followed by respiratory infection (11.76) and diarrhea (8.82%). Diarrhea (37.5%), respiratory infection (15.62%) and accidents and burns (12.5%) were major killers in children between 1-6 years. Mortality in males was higher than females in infancy. Risk factors associated with infant mortality included extremes of maternal age (less than 20 and greater than 30 years), multiparity and illiterate mothers.
