Gonadal maturation studies were carried out on one of the largest growing tropical mangrove clam species, Polymesoda erosa from Ratnagiri coast of Maharashtra. Gonadal maturation studies under laboratory conditions were also carried out to assess the effect of temperature and salinity on Gonad Index (GI) in two separate experiments each of 60 days duration. The optimum temperature and salinity observed for GI was 30°C and 25 ppt, respectively for both the sexes. Estimated fecundity of P. erosa within the range of 40 to 120 mm shell lengths was studied. It was observed that maximum numbers of matured oocytes were 1773893 whereas minimum number was 384227.

Abstract:Hurthle cell carcinoma of thyroid, a variant of follicular carcinoma is a relatively rare type of differentiated thyroid cancer. Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are rare, affecting less than 1% of cancer patients overall [1]. Our patient, a 67 years old lady presented with progressive lower limb weakness of few months duration. She was aware of an enlarging thyroid swelling and recently experienced a few thyrotoxic symptoms. She was overtly thyrotoxic and had a large asymmetric goiter and severe weakness of proximal muscles in lower limbs. Clinical and investigation results were consistent with the diagnosis of diffuse toxic goiter and mononeuritis multiplex. She underwent thyroidectomy and the histopathological examination confirmed coexisting Hurthle cell carcinoma. We present her as a case of diffuse toxic goiter with coexisting thyroid cancer, Hurthle cell carcinoma with distant metastasis, and limb weakness due to mononeuritis multiplex, possibly a paraneoplastic neurologic syndrome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
