systemic synthesis of that ion. Therefore {as
compared to non-infected acute inflammation of the
larynx; tendon-cartilage pain}, post treatment of
asthma/COPD by steroids were reporting least-to-nill
gut and gastric stage steroid related complications. A
visit to the KCL re-bottling and KN3 {explosive}
units indicated ‘nil’ COPD cases among the salt
workers-inspite of severe expouser. Our off the record
advisory to take mini-pinches of KCL (pre and post
bronchodilator inhalation, as sub lingual or as solution)
is being reported to be beneficial across the age, status,
place spectrum. All these are first time findings. They
merit wider clinical and investigation based
co-relationing.
Labor & Atmospheric Low Pressure
Labor occurs due to contraction of the abdominal
musculature. Atmospheric pressure is the sole external
opposing force (at partum). Abdominal muscular
contraction at human labor generates a pressure
gradient of 50 mm Hg during the 2
nd
stage of labor
(
actual delivery). This is 1/15th of fair weather
barometric pressure at mean sea level i.e 67 gm/cm
2
(
latitude & orography specific). True for all non-temp-
erate India regions.
In fair weather, due to normal atmospheric pressure,
labor requires full muscular contractive thrust. A very
severe cyclonic storm/tornado, develops a estimated
central pressure of 970~950 mb (hPa) which is equal
to a reduction of the order 30~50 gms/cm
2
.
Hence,
atmospheric conditions come close to that, what is
generated during the 2
nd
stage of labor (~50%
reduction in natural opposing thrust). Severe cyclones
collinearly also induces psychosomatic response in
existing pregnancies of final trimester, and hastens
onset of the 1
st
stage contractions. Atmospheric low
smoothens the 2
nd
stage labor. There is also expression
of extra large doses of Oxytocin by the brain. And
Oxytocin upregulates abdominal contraction (Niranjan
Kumar and Ramkumar, 2008) Severe cyclones also
have high impact causing internal eddies (micro-
bursts), that have more steep pressure gradients; wind
energy and sonic boom. Actual delivery always
seemed to be timed with micro-bursts (The rural
mid-wives {non-govt.} in the cyclone prone districts
had more than a decade ago brought this to the notice
of the author. Not own original data, yet non historical
nor cultural; Oxytocin is also released fear and
psychotic conditions. We know, deep depressions and
the notion of impending killer cyclone does cause a
fear psychosis among the would be and being effected
sub-populations). Tornados which are micro weather
systems also occur in this region (Bhattacharya et al.,
2011).
The natural phenomena apart, short, easier
labor and child birth also results in ‘nil’ mother and\or
child mortality; specially in the rural and in the remote;
where there aren’t any medical facility. Due such
natural phenomena, the 1
st
time mothers suffer much
less, i.e., least labor pangs.
During the 2 decades long field study we also noted
that, all terrestrial mammals (bovines included) also
experience similar convenience at labor. When
cyclones rage no primary health center (human or
veterinary) is in working mode. A crying need arises.
The out, is vicious. Long before to that the Govt.
clinician {being alerted about the impending severe
weather event, by the Govt., machinery\free press}
leave for their respective cyclone safe city based
shelters. The rural is left to lurch.
We now present a pioneering cum novel case study
involving a geo-spatial location and a full community.
Pan globally there are precedence. Let us now
examine the data as in Table 1. It is that of 30
years-long period average (c.1950
-
80).
Is derived
from the India Meteorology Department (IMD). This
data is cardinal, because it has been physically
collected and validated year after year ranging over
decades. We have taken 4 meteorological stations
namely L-Su & L-Da in Gujarat (west coast); L-Go &
L-Sam in Odisa (east coast), i.e., one off the station of
the either pair is located on the either shore side of the
Indian peninsula. Geographically, either pair (west
coast & east coast stations) are angulated to shore line
in near identical manner; almost on the same latitude.
They are marked by paired straight lines (Figure 8).
The configuration of the neighbouring seas form near
similar types of isosceles triangle-which naturally
(
theoretically also) generate high and similar
hydrodynamic component of the thrust of the
ocean-atmosphere couple. The physiography and
geomorphology are somewhat similar for the two
inland stations; while the orography and the
geography make closer call. The sole contrast being
L-Da is desert beside. L-Sam, is semi-arid beside.
