    Summary: Rabies is the deadliest zoonotic disease that threatens humans and animals on all continents except Antarctica. Asia and Africa are worst affected as more than 95 per cent of rabies associated human deaths occur in these regions. India alone bears about 36 per cent of the global human rabies burden. Dogs are the main transmitters of rabies that potentially threaten over 3 billion people in Asia and Africa. Many developed nations have been able to successfully control dog rabies but continue to face the risk from wildlife including bats.

    Transabdominal neurostimulation (TANS) is a new term and concept used in the prevention and treatment of adynamic or paralytic ileus. Though it may occur for other reasons, ileus is a frequent and common complication of acute spinal cord injuries. The calculated incidence of ileus in this study of 43 control acute spinal-injured patients at Northwestern University was 15%. Of 44 patients on whom the TANS procedure was used, none developed paralytic ileus. The primary advantages observed from the use of TANS were the following: the ease of application, the lack of major complications, and the prevention of ileus.
