Indian Physician

India is the brain hub of the world’s scientific research. When it comes to Indian science, how can one forget the contributions of Bengal, and Kolkata? If you calculate the number of Nobel prize winners from India, you will find an astounding majority of them are connected to Kolkata. Dr. CV Raman was highly connected to the Indian Association of Cultivation of Science [IACS], Kolkata where he did the major work which brought him the Nobel Prize in 1930.[1,2] In 1917, he was appointed to the Palit chair of physics at Raza bazar Science College, University of Calcutta.[1] Yet surprisingly, many researchers in Bengal were unrecognized and didn’t receive their deserved fame. Their work sang but they were unsung. In this editorial, we try to know about one such legendary Indian Physician-Doctor who hadn’t received the proper recognition he deserved. Dr. Subhash Mukhopadhyay was an extraordinary Indian Physician Researcher who was born on 16th January 1931 in Hazaribagh, India [3]. At the University of Edinburgh, he did an extraordinary work on hormones. Title of his thesis was, “Some Observations on The Biological Assay of Gonadotropic Hormones”. You can read the full thesis PDF from the following link present at Archives of University of Edinburgh,[4]. Before him, there was no great way to detect the levels of this hormone, but his remarkable work in this field opened many avenues for which he also received his second PhD. He is famous for India’s first and world’s second In Vitro Fertilization [IVF] work.

Otto Meyerhof was born on 12 April 1884 in Berlin and died in Philadelphia on 6 October 1951 at the age of 67; he was the son of Felix Meyerhof, who was born in 1849 at Hildesheim, and Bettina Meyerhof, nee May, born in 1862 in Hamburg; both his father and grandfather had been in business. An elder sister and two younger brothers died long before him. In 1923 he shared the Nobel prize for Physiology (for 1922) with A. V. Hill. He received an Hon. D.C.L. in 1926 from the University of Edinburgh, was a Foreign Member (1937) of the Royal Society of London, an Hon. Member of the Harvey Society and of Sigma XI. In 1944 he was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences, U.S.A. Otto Meyerhof went through his school life up to the age of 14 without delay, but there is no record that he was then brilliant. When he was 16 he developed some kidney trouble, which caused a long period of rest in bed. This period of seclusion seems to have been responsible for a great mental and artistic development. Reading constantly he matured perceptibly, and in the autumn of 1900 was sent to Egypt on the doctor’s advice for recuperation.

Abstract Background Assisted reproductive technology (ART) such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) has been essential in the treatment of infertility, and the number of children born after these procedures has now passed 5 million worldwide. Children born after medically assisted reproduction are at higher risk of adverse birth outcomes than are children conceived naturally. In this study, we leveraged MRI technology to investigate whether ART pregnancy methods: intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and ET have any effect on the brain development of offspring by comparing with the NAT pregnancy method. Methods A total of 75 infants were recruited in the study from 3 conception groups: 25 children born after ICSI, 25 children born after IVF-ET and 25 children born after natural pregnancy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans provide exceptionally detailed information on how the human brain changes throughout childhood, adolescence, and old age. The use of MRI in the evaluation of the developing brain is well established. Results The results of routine brain scans on T1WI and T2WI showed that there was no significant difference among the 5-7, 11-13, and 23-25 months of infants among ET, ICSI, and NAT groups. The MRI values fluctuate at different time points indicating that they may change with the development of the brain. However, they are on a similar level for different conception groups supporting our previous statistical analysis that MRI values of ICSI and ET groups are not significantly different from NAT. Conclusions The results showed that there was no significant difference in brain development patterns between different modes of conception, which proved that ART does not affect the development of brain myelin in fetuses and infants.
