Abstract Background: Pulse palpation is a useful screening method for early detection of cardiac arrhythmia, which may result from reduced pulmonary function. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between reduced pulmonary function and pulse palpation finding in the elderly. Methods: Secondary analysis was performed using the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (n=2347 subjects aged ≥65 years). Pulse palpation was initially performed for 15 seconds and confirmed again for 60 seconds. Results: The prevalence of IP was 61 (2.6%). The mean age of subjects with IP was 73.0 (95% CI 71.7-74.3) years, and 45.8% were male. After adjustment, the lowest FVC or FEV 1 and predicted FVC <80% remained significant risk factors for IP. A restrictive or obstructive pattern also independently predicted IP. Conclusions: The elderly with reduced pulmonary function had a significant risk of irregular pulse, in whom careful pulse palpation may be required for early detection of arrhythmia.

Small and temporary freshwater rock pools, compared to lakes, ponds and rivers, have received a very little scientific attention in India. For the present limnological study, six rock pools in the river Chenab at Dhoomi, Akhnoor, were analysed seven times for water quality and fauna during 17-01-2011 to 26-01-2011 and have been described. Among various water parameters depth (6-11 cm), transparency (6-11 cm) and turbidity (1.4-6.88 NTU) recorded a decrease after high record on first observation. Salinity remained constant (0.1 ppt) on all the seven observations. Dissolved oxygen (DO) observed maximum (12.81 mg/l) record on 19-01-2011 and minimum (9.99 mg/l) on 26-01-2011. Chloride (Cl?) was minimum (2.73 mg/l) on 17-01-2011 and 18-01-2011 and maximum (6.81 mg/l) on 24-01-2011. Conductivity (75.50 – 178.8 µS cm?¹), total dissolved solids (TDS)  (40.13 – 85.5 mg/l), Biological oxygen demand (BOD) (2.5 – 6.63 mg/l), pH (8.26 – 9.12), carbonate ( CO3-2) (2.31 – 22.84 mg/l), bicarbonate (HCO3-) (29.83 – 71.29 mg/l), calcium (Ca+2) (9.45 – 29.50 mg/l), magnesium (Mg+2) (2.24 – 5.38 mg/l), total hardness (TH)  (35.34 – 95.80 mg/l) and sodium (Na+) (0.44 – 1.05 mg/l) showed highest record on last observation. Potassium (K+) (0.60 – 1.70 mg/l) was minimum on 18-01-2011 and maximum on 24-01-2011. Nitrate (NO3?) (0.084-0.373 mg/l), phosphate (PO4³? ) (0.043 – 0.140 mg/l), silicate (SiO4-4) (1.28 – 3.95 mg/l) and sulphate (SO4-2) (4.89 – 7.84 mg/l) observed  an irregular pulse. Fauna in these rock pools was represented by zooplankton (passive dispersers) belonging to Protozoa (27 species), Rotifera (3 species), gemmules of Porifera (2 species) and Turbellaria (1 species) only. Zooplanktonic maximum qualitative record was observed on 6th observation and quantitative on 7th observation. In the absence of any earlier study on freshwater rock pools in the Himalayan rivers, present work shall be of great help for future workers.

Electrical injuries can have myriad presentations, including significant cardiac involvement. Arrhythmias are the most frequently experienced cardiac affliction, of which sinus tachycardia or bradycardia, ventricular fibrillation, atrial or ventricular premature beats and bundle branch block are most commonly reported. A 50-year-old man, with no prior history of cardiac disease, presented with palpitations following low voltage electrical injury. On examination, he was tachycardic with an irregularly irregular pulse. An ECG confirmed atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate. Chemical cardioversion was attempted successfully, following which the patient reverted to sinus rhythm. Atrial fibrillation following electrical injury has been rarely described in the literature, and is rarer so without associated high voltage electrical exposure or pre-existing cardiac ailment.
