moment, in superbly variable manner and extents.
This is a giant of a problem, if the effected domain
census be in the order of the high (India/China).
Disaster apart all this spells penury. Naturally
occurring low pressure zones for the 1st time leap to
the fore as good for labor (progeny). Tropical
meteorology is vertical and consequently atmospheric
low keep manifesting here, there and everywhere,
asyclically. Smooth labor spells monetary savings,
apart human welbeing. Policy apart, even concepts are
absent. Our nascent findings posit as strong due to our
long-period-study-model. It is very clear that the
Indian sub-continent does offer a wide spectrum of
opportunities to study the nexus between environment
and health. This study silently throws up the
possibility that Hindus who had learned school of
plural health care (Ayurveda) and robust collegiums of
practitioners may have sterling contribution, about
which no study has been made thus far (supporting
discussion). Therefore, the study area is green field
and beckons (international) multi-lateral investment of
mind & money. Not exhaustive.
Conclusions
Since mismatch of timing {expiration?inhalation}
that manifests as spasms and to us prima-facie appears
as the principal cause of distress. (i) Barometric low
makes the lungs perform better, at the alveoli level, by
catalysing a well timed expiration?inhalation
involuntary smooth muscle function. Even constricted
bronchus allows peak volume inhalation and expiration (ii)
failure to expirate at optimum/required volumes is due
to boundary effect of the atmospheric column pressure.
Atmospheric low alters such condition (iii) systemic
availability of K
+
has salutarious effect {therapy
adjunctive} on the mechanical component of the
aberration (iv) it is clear that rain fail syndrome exists
over Gujarat specially in the examined domain axis of
Surat ? Dahod. That such syndrome pre dates the
concept of Global Climate Change & Global Warming
notion-motions. L-Da has semi-hot-arid terrestrial
conditions and extensive surface denudation~visually
much alike the cold arid north Scotland (iii) While
there may be numerous geographical domains that
may have similar year round, rain deficiency;
physiography; et al., we have not been able to find a
parable to L-Da that offers year round steep low
atmospheric pressure concurrent with low humidity,
and a (near) coastal location. No-ii directly assists
labor, and No-i causes non perspiring feel good
conditions at Labor. Due absence of the sole external
opposing force (normal atmospheric pressure), the
contractive cycle of the musculature assume a well
ordered cadence. Which in turn becauses a correct
positioning of the fetal head, leading to eventless,
smooth normal delivery. All this offers unique
opportunity to also consider specially engineered labor
rooms (in high pressure domains) that may have
anti-room with a pressure of 930~960 hPa. A short
on-foot sample survey confirmed the absence of
‘
Breach deliveries’ at Dahod. To our question
pertaining to Caesarean/breach/foot first delivery, few
natives had shot back “look for it elsewhere”. L-Da is
the meteorology caused unique natural labor location.
Vis-à-vis child birth & mother’s health care,
meteorology posits as peerless a tool. Through the
years, at every step, we had asked ‘what is mother
nature doing to itself’? It assisted us with an
interesting set of transpirations, that are vetted on a
decadal scale. The mind delights at such findings. This
is original 1
st
time report.
Acknowledgement
Thanks to the IMS, which supported this very long period study
with official data. The author is indebted to the rural people, the
private health workers and Ayurveda clinicians who in the first
place always led with the information of atypical cases and
above all provided physical support, stay-put and logistics
during the severe weather events. To the Collectors and
Revenue officials. Our gratitude to patients who never tired in
responding to our queries. Numerous professors assisted and
participated in personal discussions, specially M S University,
Baroda. They all did that with the fond hope that the author-duo
would be able to deliver. These presents are to them.
