Natural selection has provided the mammal with a rich variety of signaling systems, each of which couples environmental variation with appropriate neuroendocrine responses. Therefore the complicated processed of mammalian reproduction occurs in harmony with exhisting dietary factors and different aspects of physical environmental. In recent years the study of low nutrients and their metabolism as well as various environmental factors effect reproductive processes has gained a great momentum., several research articles reveal that environmental factors and nutritional status directly or indirectly modulate reproduction in mammals. In general the male reproductive system show much more resistance to malnutrition and photoperiodic length of environmental factors alone influences the seasonal changes in testicular volume in sheep as earlier reported by Martin (1984).- Ocular Surface Disorders in Patients Admitted in Intensive Care Unit of a Tertiary Care Hospital

To assess the frequency and to identify the predisposing factors for ocular surface disorders in ICU patients. Prospective observational study of all patients admitted to the ICU complex of SRMSIMS between1st January to 31st April 2016 for a minimum period of 5 days. Patients will be observed for abnormalities of the lid , conjunctiva, cornea and tear film by diffuse illumination aided by Schirmer's Test, corneal and conjunctival staining and conjunctival swab when required. Other factors like consciousness, use of a ventilator, preexisting comorbidities shall also be noted. Patients will be observed on Day1, 5, 6, and so on. 60 eyes of 30 patients were examined . In mechanically ventilated patients , 36 eyes (60%) had conjunctival hyperemia which resolved upon intervention which included antibiotics and lubricants . 18 eyes (9%) had conjunctival discharge which resolved upon intervention. 12 eyes (20%) were stain positive. The critically ill often develop ocular surface disorders, especially when sedated and immobilized. A close relationship was observed between these conditions and the inability to close one's eyes. The presence of ocular surface disease was closely correlated with the degree of lagophthalmos, which in turn was closely related to the depth of sedation or paralysis.Keywords
