(}IDPE) OIDPE) (PET) - FROM THE EDITOR'SDESK The releaseof this issuecoincides with the NationalConference on Marine Medicinebeing held pt Mumbai. This is alsothe last issue of theJournal in thismillennium. Just as this last issue of themillennium contains threearticles from eminentcivilian doctors,we aresure that the Journal will continueto receivearticles from our civilian counterpartson a regularbasis. Dr. S.Natrajan an eminent and renowned vitreo retinal surgeon shares his experiencein themanagement ofopenglobe injuries ofthe eye.Hyperbaric facilities at variousindustrial set ups may help in treatingseveral occupationaldisease and this is the recommendationgiven by SurgLt. Gokulkishnanin his articletitled "HyperbaricOxygen for Industrialsetup". Advancesin molecularbiology, the inventionof the polymerasechain reaction and discovery of Prions havebeen some of the advancesin the field of basicmedical sciences. Their contributiontowards finding the causeof diseaseand suggesting remedies for the sameh3ve been major achievements. Three articles in the currentissue highlight these advances. "Sexualdimorphism in coronaryartery disease - anatomicalfactors" an articleby Dr. Dhall et al. makes interestingreading. That there are structural (both gross and microscopic) differences between the coronaries of malesand females has been emphasised by theauthors. They conclude that narrowercoronaries in relation to heartsize and thicker tunica intima in malesmay be someof the anatomicalfactors making them more susceptibleto coronaryartery disease. Hitherto,the staiusof borderlinehypertensives especially in divers,submarines and patients undergoing hyperbaricoxygen therapy was not clear,as literature was scanty even on theinternet, but thearticle "Blood pressureprofile underhyperbaric condition" by SurgCdr MJ Johnet al in thecurrent journal deals with this issuecomprehensively. Havingsaid all this,it is our solemnduty to onceagain remind ourselves of the supremesacrifice by the valiantmembers of the ArmedForces who laid downtheir lives in the defenceof our country'sborders in the recentconflict. l.et us observea minute'ssilence and rededicate our selvesto the causeat handin the comingmillennium.
