Aim of the study role of acid base balance in chronic severe anaemic patients admitted in Department of Medicine, Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, Laheriasarai, Bihar. Study subject include 50 chronic and severe anaemic patients. All the fty cases underwent detailed haematological, biochemical, electrocardiographic, roentgenographic studies followed by extensive analysis of blood for blood gases and acid base parameters at the onset. Some were further studied for venous blood lactate and the effect of intravenous frusemide on the acid base parameters and the clinical state of the patient. Twenty normal controls were also studied. Work in future on the problem of chronic severe anaemia should include cases with cardiac failure and other complications like respiratory infections etc. and they should be studied for myocardial function, glomerular ltration rate and renal anion transport in addition to blood gases and acid base study as done by us. The role of ionotropic agents should be studied in such cases in isolation from that with diuretics. The administration of oxygen alone with a mask is also expected to improve almost all parameters quickly and should be studied.

Abstract The Popeye domain-containing gene family encodes a novel class of cAMP effector proteins in striated muscle tissue. In this short review, we first introduce the protein family and discuss their structure and function with an emphasis on their role in cyclic AMP signalling. Another focus of this review is the recently discovered role of POPDC genes as striated muscle disease genes, which have been associated with cardiac arrhythmia and muscular dystrophy. The pathological phenotypes observed in patients will be compared with phenotypes present in null and knockin mutations in zebrafish and mouse. A number of protein–protein interaction partners have been discovered and the potential role of POPDC proteins to control the subcellular localization and function of these interacting proteins will be discussed. Finally, we outline several areas, where research is urgently needed.

In serial memory for spatial information, some studies showed that recall performance suffers when the distance between successive locations increases relatively to the size of the display in which they are presented (the path length effect; e.g., Parmentier et al., 2005) but not when distance is increased by enlarging the size of the display (e.g., Smyth & Scholey, 1994). In the present study, we examined the effect of varying the absolute and relative distance between to-be-remembered items on memory for spatial information. We manipulated path length using small (15″) and large (64″) screens within the same design. In two experiments, we showed that distance was disruptive mainly when it is varied relatively to a fixed reference frame, though increasing the size of the display also had a small deleterious effect on recall. The insertion of a retention interval did not influence these effects, suggesting that rehearsal plays a minor role in mediating the effects of distance on serial spatial memory. We discuss the potential role of perceptual organization in light of the pattern of results.
