Urinary ascites in a newborn infant is unusual and most commonly indicates a disruption to the integrity of urinary tract, the most common cause being posterior urethral valve. The report describes a case of urinary ascites, probably calyx or bladder rupture due to underlying posterior urethral valve. The patient presented as an emergency and was treated with ventilator support and subsequent drainage of urine.Full Text

Ebola viral disease one of the fatal infections, though traditionally known to be confined to African countries has drawn lot of global attention in recent time because of its rapid progression within short span. Mainly the poor people who have frequent exposure to forest life and practice certain sociocultural rituals after death of an individual are the main victims of Ebola infection. However no country including India is immune to Ebola because of international travelling and promotion of tourism. Lack of suitable treatment and high infectivity and case fatality have made the disease one of the worst public health emergencies. There are evidence that, bats are the natural host or reservoir for Ebola virus. Humans may get infected with Ebola after coming in contact with infected wildlife (as hunted for food) and or bat. But role of sexual route cannot be ruled out.

Malnutrition is one of the causes of triple burden on the nation. It is decreasing in South Asian countries but still almost 83 million are suffering1. To combat the condition of malnutrition, bio-fortified crops are being developed. One of the crops which were developed is quality protein maize; maize with better biological value and balanced amino acid profile which helped in increasing the absorption of other vitamin A, calcium and carbohydrate 2. In this background, the present study was planned with an objective to develop biscuits with optimum sensory and nutritional attributes which can help in impeding malnutrition. The biscuits were subjected to organoleptic evaluation by the panel of 10 semi-trained judges. A 9- point hedonic scale was used for evaluating sensory attributes of the developed biscuits. There was insignificant difference between overall acceptability score of the developed biscuits but was highest for the biscuits developed from quality protein maize. The quality protein maize containing biscuits had high protein (8.11 g/100 g), ash (1.46 g/100 g), lysine (3.66 g/100 g protein), methionine (1.66 g/100 g protein), tryptophan (0.84 g/100 g protein), linoleic (25.57%), linolenic acid (1.66%) and in vitro protein (81.92%) and starch digestibility (53.18%) acceptability in comparison to wheat biscuits. Thus, incorporation of quality protein maize in the development of bakery products helped in improving the nutrient contents and thus is a good alternative to be used during feeding trial.
