RESUMO
The need for successful management of posterior urethral valves always captivates the minds of pediatric surgeons. Its success, however, depends on several factors ranging from prenatal preservation of upper tracts to postoperative pharmacological compliance. Regardless of measures available, some cases do not respond and progress to end stage. The management depends on several issues ranging from age and severity at presentation to long-term follow-up and prevention of secondary renal damage and managing valve bladder syndrome. This article is based on a consensus to the set of questionnaires, prepared by research section of Indian Association of Paediatric Surgeons and discussed by experienced pediatric surgeons based in different institutions in the country. Standard operating procedures for conducting a voiding cystourethrogram and cystoscopy were formulated. Age-wise contrast dosage was calculated for ready reference. Current evidence from literature was also reviewed and included to complete the topic.

Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and gibberellic acid (GA3) enhanced the formation of roots on the stem cuttings of Abelmoschus esculentus. The effect increased considerably when both IAA and GA3 were applied together.
RESUMO
Interviews and physical examinations for filarial disease were conducted in Howrah near Calcutta, West Bengal, India, in a study area where long term quantitative entomological studies have disclosed high intensity, year round exposure to Wuchereria bancrofti. Little elephantiasis or other serious filariasis-related disease was noted, but half the males over 20 years of age had genital lesions of various types. Ninety-two percent of households had at least one resident with microfilaremia or presumptive clinical evidence of filarial disease.
