ABSTRACT
A study to determine the pattern of various malignancies in Eastern Rajasthan was conducted for the year 1990 by Cancer Registry, S.M.S. Medical College, Jaipur. This is the first study of its kind from this region where an effort has been made to put the cancer profile in East Rajasthan in perspective. A total of 2509 histologically proven cancer cases were recorded from the various government and private hospitals in this region. There were 1443 males and 1066 females. Maximum number of cases were seen in the 6th and 5th decade. Genital tract cancer (21%) formed the largest overall group of cancers. When combined with the urinary system (7.6%)--the uro-genital tract cancers (28.7%) formed almost one-third of all cancers in this region. Cancer of the prostate (11.40%) and urinary bladder (9.1%) in males recorded the highest incidence in the country. Cancer of the female breast (19.4%) surpassed cancer cervix (18.2%). The frequency of penile, testicular, bone, skin, anorectal cancers and lymphoma was on the higher side. Whereas the incidence of stomach, oesophagus and lung cancer was on the lower side. An urgent need is felt to study the various aetiological factors responsible for these significant variations in Eastern Rajasthan.

The present study which was based on the quarterly sampling and estimation of various physico-chemical factors throw light on the three significant points with regard to the population build up of Anopheles stephensi. Slightly alkaline pH is essential for higher population density, lower the salinity, higher the population density and higher amount of free ammonia in the water is accounted for the higher population density of A. stephensi.

PIP: Data from 540 couples randomly selected from Primary Health Centre villages are analyzed. Marital fertility rate was found to be 226.94 per thousand married women of reproductive age. Marked variations were observed among various groups within the population. Marital fertility was higher for Moslems than Hindus, and for nuclear than for joint families. Illiteracy was positively associated with higher marital fertility, as were low income and laboring occupations. Among age groups, women aged 25-29 had the highest marital fertility rates.^ieng

The effect of Burdizzo, Russian and vasectomy methods of castration on the gain in body weight was studied over a period of 2 1/2 months in the buffalo calves of two age groups (1--1 1/2 years and 2 1/2--3 years). The gain in body weight (1--1 1/2 years age group) has been significantly greater (P less than 0.05) in the control animals (30.3 +/- 3.38 kg) as well as those emasculated by the vasectomy (31.3 +/- 1.4 kg) method in comparison to the other two methods.

The effects of emasculation in the pars distalis of the pituitary gland were studied in male buffalo. Following castration, no size or percentage value changes could be noted in the acidophila and thyrotrophs of the pars distalis. The acidophils were found in greater numbers in the peripheral area of the pars distalis as compared to the central area. However, the frequency of thyrotroph distribution was observed to be more so in the central zone. As for the gonadotrophs, a significant increase in the cell size (P less than 0.05) and percentage value (P less than 0.01) was observed in animals castrated by the Burdizzo method. This points to a state of hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the gonadotrophs as a result of this method of emasculation.
