Description
'Perinatal asphyxia is a major cause of neurological morbidity and mortality in India. Perinatal asphyxia is an insult to the fetus or newborn due to lack of oxygen (hypoxia) and/or lack of perfusion to various organs. In asphyxiated neonates there are many biochemical and hematological variations, many studies in recent past have suggested that an increase number of nucleated red blood cells (NRBC) in umbilical cord blood may be a useful marker to identify birth asphyxia. The placenta is a vital organ responsible for gaseous and nutrition transfer from mother to the fetus as well as disposable of waste products of the fetus. Since it is the only point of contact between maternal and fetal tissues, anything which affects the fetus can do so only through the placenta. Placental changes show a significant association with neonatal morbidity and mortality and placental examination offers a lot of prognostic significance for the newborn. This book is an attempt to know the importance of this hematological variation of NRBC in asphyxiated newborns. At the same time we have tried to correlate the variations of cord blood NRBC with any changes in the maternal placenta.' Read more

She has published a series of articles in International journals about CANCER IMMUNITY. This is an important aspect of cancer management and can revolutionize the existing modalities of cancer management and treatment. Cell mediated immunity can arrest cancer growth and prevent metastasis because the tumor specific antigens are not recognized as ¢??Self?? by HLA 1. Immune response is thus trigerred against cancer cells. Circulating immune complexes, however remain an important prognostic index to determine cancer load in vivo.
