  CONDUCTA A SEGUIR EN PACIENTES PORTADORES DE ENFERMEDAD DE PARKINSON QUE REQUIERAN CIRUGÍA
Los procedimientos quirúrgicos son frecuentes en la enfermedad de Parkinson. El manejo perioperatorio requiere el conocimiento de la enfermedad así como de las propiedades farmacológicas de las drogas utilizadas. Dado el riesgo de complicaciones y la complejidad del manejo antiparkinsoniano durante un procedimiento quirúrgico, es necesario establecer un abordaje sistemático.

CHOLINERGIC DYSFUNCTION IN MYASTHENIA GRAVIS- IS IT GENERALIZED?
Autonomic function testing was done in patients with myasthenia gravis in remission considering it as an index of generalized cholinergic dysfunction. In seropositive patients significant abnormality was found in frequency domain parameters and a trend was noted in duration domain parameters. There was also statistically significant decrease in time and frequency domain (RMSS and HFMD suggesting parasympathetic deficiency and change in low frequency/high frequency ratio suggesting increased sympathetic tone. This could be due to decrease in ACh signal processing at post ganglionic, preganglionic as well as smooth muscles of the heart. The impact on sympathetic is less because post ganglionic sympathetic synapses are much more than parasympathetic.

  A SHORT REVIEW OF ASCARIASIS
The oldest human helminthiasis due to Ascariasis, although a health-problem in tropics, is not uncommon in other parts. It can involve the hepato-biliary system too. The disease burden can be addressed by mass eradication programme but still is a high cause of mortality, growth retardation and other morbidities. Susceptibility, worm load and other genetic factors are avenues for further research. Conservative treatment suffice, but surgery may be indicated in selected cases. Endoscopic treatment are highly effective in biliary ascariasis.
