A number of indices for evaluating the maturity of the newborn were studied. Indices of anthropometric, anatomic, reflex and physiologic development were examined to evaluate their association with birth weight and gestational age; the validity of these diagnostic indices is discussed. Studies are recommended to establish a maturity score to identify high-risk infants at birth.

PIP: Unlike some animals, there is no season for conception in human beings, yet a marked seasonal variation in the number of deliveries and medical termination of pregnancy has been observed in a study conducted in India. Data used for the analysis was taken from the records of the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and monthly data on deliveries were taken for 4 years and on MTP were taken for only 3 years. Medical termination of pregnancy had the highest index in the month of April and lowest in the month of November while indices of deliveries were maximum in August, September and October and minor in April, May and June. These findings show maximum number of conceptions occur during the winter months for obvious reasons and therefore the index of deliveries is likely to be maximum during months preceeding winter, i.e., August-October. As the medical termination of pregnancy is permitted only up to 20 weeks of gestation, the patients conceiving during winter months, November-February are likely to report for termination in early summer to late monsoon season.^ieng

A study of 1500 male students at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India was conducted to establish the prevalence and related social and behavioural aspects of venereal diseases. The prevalence was found to be 3.93 per cent. The majority of the students (86.4 per cent) belonged to the Hindu religion which is based on the caste system. Students from the Vaishya caste were more affected with venereal diseases. The social acceptability of having more than one wife had a definite impact on the incidence of venereal diseases. Students who practised masturbation and homosexuality were also more affected with venereal diseases. Prostitutes were the main source of infection. It was found that 28.8 per cent of these students had been infected on a previous occasion.
