Many methods have been devised to accelerate the orthodontic movement, but they are not without their negative effects. The injection of platelet-rich fibrin (I-PRF) is one of the modern methods, whose role is still unknown in accelerating dental movement and reduction in the duration of orthodontic treatment. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of injection I- PRF to accelerate alignment and levelling of the upper anterior teeth and reduce the time required for treatment. Material and Methods: The sample consisted of 16 patients (10 females, 6 males)in need of orthodontic treatment and who have crowding at the level of the upper anterior teeth. Patients were divided into two 2 groups: the experimental group would be injected with platelet-rich fibrin (I-PRF) and a control group for which only brackets would be applied. The treatment progress was evaluated at 3-time stages, and the studied variables were the rate of improvement in alignment and levelling and the time taken to complete the treatment. Results: The results of the study showed that platelet-rich fibrin injection I-PRF was ineffective in accelerating the alignment and the levelling process (P>0.05) as well as in reducing the time required for treatment (P >0.05). Conclusion: Injection platelet-rich fibrin I-PRF is ineffective in accelerating orthodontic movement.

Various research article indicates that the geometry of the proximal femur in the Indian population considerably differ from the European and American standard. Proximal femur morphometry parameters are vital to design and develop arthroplasty components. Currently, arthroplasty components widely used are based on western standards. Improper size of hip joint arthroplasty may result in joint congruence, micromotion, osteoarthritis and tendinopathy. The present study comprehensively analyzes the proximal femur anthropometry in the South Indian population and comparison with other ethnic groups. Aims: To determine the proximal femur geometry using radiographs and to analyze the proximal femoral geometrical variation between the south Indian population and various ethnics. Materials and Methods: A study was conducted in 388 non - pathological hip joint X-rays collected from the Southern Indian population. The primary objective of the study is to measure proximal femoral geometry and compare the difference with various ethnic groups. Measurements like femoral head diameter, Neck width, Neck shaft angle, Femoral offset and Medullary canal diameter are calculated using Picture Archiving Communication System (PACS). Result: In the present study, the proximal femur anthropometry of the South Indian population differs from the Western population. In some parameters, the present study also differs from the North Indian population Neck shaft angle in the present study is smaller than the western as well as in the South African population. Conclusion: The present study of the proximal femur in the south Indian population considerably differs from the dimensions of the Western ethnic population. The study may aid in the development of proximal femoral arthroplasty components suitable for the Indian population.

Of late violence against medical practitioners is increasing worldwide and more so in developing countries like India. This violence may comprise of verbal abuse, threats, vandalism, physical assault as well as loss of life. So there is an urgent need to evaluate the risk factors involved in violence against doctors to overcome this problem in time. Aim & Objective: The aim & objective is to determine the prevalence and identify the risk factors associated with violence against doctors. Materials & Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-administered semi-structured questionnaire from July to September 2019. Both government and private doctors were included in the study who have been into practice for more than 1 year in the Raigarh district of Chhattisgarh. Detailed data were collected regarding violence and its associated risk factors and their suggestions were taken on how to prevent violence against doctors. A total of 420 doctors were included in the study and Data analysis was conducted using Excel and SPSS software. Results and Conclusion: Violence against doctors were found to be very high among government as well as private practitioners. The major risk factors were Patient dissatisfaction with services, Unrestricted public access to the hospital, Lack of security and less manpower with long and erratic working hours. Medical professionals who faced violence have been known to develop depression, insomnia, fear and anxiety leading to absenteeism which is a major problem for the community.

Ultrasonography (USG)- guided TAP Block provides accurate visualization of underlying structures. Our study aimed to compare the efficacy of ultrasound-guided Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block using 0.25% bupivacaine versus parenteral multimodal analgesia in postoperative caesarean section. Aims: To study • Reduction of the additional Rescue analgesia 24 hours following caesarean section. • Duration of analgesia, patient satisfaction, adverse effects like- PONV and sedation. Methods: A total of 60 patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status II and III, aged > 18yrs were posted for elective caesarean section were allocated into two groups (n=30). Group, I received a Bilateral TAP Block with 15ml of 0.25% Bupivacaine on each side. Group II received multimodal analgesia according to the Obstetric department protocol. The intensity of pain by Visual Analogue Pain Scale (VAS) Score was assessed, mean duration of analgesia and mean dose of rescue analgesia were recorded. Results: The Visual Analogue Scale scores at 8, 12 and 24 hours in Group I were 1.1±1.47, 0.93±1.31 and 0.3±0.75 and in group II were 3.67±1.06, 4.73±0.94 and 5.27±0.78, respectively. The mean time to first rescue analgesia was statistically significant in Group I 535.27 ± 118.542 compared to Group II 186.6 ± 67.6 min. The mean dose of rescue analgesia required over 24 hours was significantly lower in group I with 17.2±10.4mg, whereas in group II 28.9±24.2 mg. Conclusion: We conclude TAP block is more effective when performed under ultrasound guidance. It provides effective analgesia with reduced rescue analgesic requirement for 24 hours following surgery, with a prolonged duration of analgesia EnglishDr. Pratibha S D, H No-13 behind KHB Colony Sadashiv Nagar Sholapur road Vijayapur, Karnataka, India.http://ijcrr.com/abstract.php?article_id=4246http://ijcrr.com/article_html.php?did=4246

Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to its aetiology.1According to  WHO (2001)every 2 minutes a child is born with a cleft somewhere in the world.2In the state of Andhra Pradesh, South India the birth rate of babies with clefts was found to be 1.09 for every 1000 live births.3Children with Cleft lip and palates may be associated with a feeding problem, social stigma, disfigurement, dental malformations, dental caries, speech problems, infections of the middle ear and long term psychological and economical stress for the patient and the family. Thus WHO has included CL & CP in their Global Burden of Disease (GBD) initiatives as it can cause significant infant mortality and childhood morbidity.4 So the ultimate scientific and humanitarian objective must be primary prevention of all craniofacial abnormalities including CL & CP. One of the attempts can be the identification of genetically susceptible parents for having children with cleft lip and palate through the parent’s ectodermal markers such as Finger Print, Lip Print and Palatal Print. Dermatoglyphics (Finger Print) is a collective term for all the integumentary features, inclusive of the dermal ridge and thick configurational arrangements on the digits, palms and soles excluding flexion creases and other secondary folds. They develop between the 13th to 19th weeks of prenatal life .5Excessive asymmetry between the Dermatoglyphics patterns of the left and right hands may signify relatively unstable genetic control during embryogenesis.6,7 Cheiloscopy(Lip Prints)are also another skin impression, which may be useful in the identification and diagnosis of congenital diseases and anomalies.8,9 L. H. Adamu(2013)concluded that the relationship of Finger Prints and Lip Prints can hold potential promise as a supplementary tool in personal identification as well as genetic markers in many congenital and clinical disorders.10 Rugoscopy (Palatal Print) is the study of palatal rugae which refers to the ridges on the anterior part of the palatal mucosa, each side of the median palatal raphae and behind the incisive papilla. They are being used for forensic personal identification.11,12 Objective- To record, analyse and compare different patterns of three ectodermal markers namely Finger Print, Lip Print and Palatal Print of healthy parents of children with (study group) or without(control group) non-syndromic CL & CP among Bengaliethnic group of West Bengal, India. To identify if any specific pattern of ectodermal markers of the parent can be considered as a genetic marker in the transmission of CL & CPto their offsprings, thereby helping in primary prevention of CL& CP. To determine the dominant pattern of fingerprint, lip print and palatal print among the control group that is healthy parents with Bengali ethnicity, with healthy children. Study design and Methodology- The present observational, case-control study was performed with 66study subjects, Group A( parents of children with non-syndromic CL &/ CP, 33father and 33 mothers) and 66 control subjects, Group B (parents of children without CL &/ CP, 33father and 33mother). The study and control subjects were selected from the Department of plastic and reconstructive surgery of a medical college and the Department of Paediatric Dentistry of a Dental college respectively, of Kolkata, West Bengal, India according to their inclusive and exclusive factors (Table 1). Ethical clearance& Informed Written consent were obtained. Method of recording and analysing fingerprint pattern Fingerprints were taken using the ink and paper method(Fig- 1a). Each finger of both right and left hand was gently rolled over the ink spread over the glass slab and then placed from left to right on a plain white paper (Royal executive bond) to record the pattern. The finger imprints were labelled by sides of the hand, they belong to (right or left) and each digit was identified by using roman numerals (thumb = I, index finger II, middle finger III, ring finger IV, and little finger = V). The paper with fingerprints was allowed to dry, serially coded and stored in a box with each paper being separated by an OHP sheet. Fingerprints were analysed into three groups namely arches (Fig- 1b), loops (Fig- 1c) and whorls (Fig- 1d) following classification by Sir Francis Galton (1892).13Asymmetric score was calculated between corresponding fingers of the right and left hand. The score “0” was assigned if the patterns matched between the fingers and a score of “1” was given if the pattern was not similar. For each sample dissimilarity score range from “0” (when all five pairs of digits had identical patterns) to “5” (when five pairs had different patterns).14 Method of recording and analyzing lip print: The lip prints were recorded by direct photography under natural lighting using a D-SLR camera and colour film, photocopy of lip print was obtained, serially coded and stored in a box. The lip prints were classified into six types (Type I-VI ) (Fig-2a) following Suzuki and Tsuchihashi's (1970) classification.15 Frequency of each pattern was recorded from “6” topographic areas (Fig-2b) assigned on both upper and lower lips as described by Hassan and Fahmy.16 Method of recording and analysing palatal-rugae pattern: The impression technique was used for recording palatal print. Palatal rugae pattern were marked on the casts using normal sharp graphite black colour pencil and the shape of rugae on casts were analysed using the classification given by Thomas and Kotze classification  17(straight, wavy, diverging, converging, curved, circular ) (Fig-3 ). Statistical analysis: All the data was recorded and tabulated.  Chi-square test and t-test were done with the help of SPSS software (version 16.0) and the level of significance was set at PEnglishhttp://ijcrr.com/abstract.php?article_id=4248http://ijcrr.com/article_html.php?did=4248 1.

K. TiwariEnglish Brijesh P. SinghEnglish Shivam MishraEnglishBackground: The waiting time to the first conception plays a significant role in the determination of the fertility level of the society. It is not possible to have a direct observation of waiting time, so the waiting time is obtained from birth interval data. It holds an important place in infertility studies because the first birth interval is free from post-partum amenorrhea (PPA) and there is less chance to use any contraception. In past studies, it has been identified that different factors contribute to explaining the length of the first birth interval. Objective: In this paper, an attempt has been done to know the impact of a new factor i.e. female’s height on waiting time to the first conception. Material & Methods: Cox’s proportional hazard model is used for this analysis. The data has been taken from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) of Uttar Pradesh. Results: It has been observed that along with other factors, there is a significant impact of females’ height on waiting time to the first conception. The female has a height of more than 150.0 cm is found significantly 6 percent more likely to get conception earlier than the female having a height less than or equal to 150.0 cm.

The definitive diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal tract disorders rests on histopathological confirmation and is one of the bases for proper management and treatment. Objective: To determine the spectrum of histopathological lesions of the upper gastrointestinal tract. To establish endoscopic biopsy as an effective tool in the proper diagnosis of various upper gastrointestinal tract lesions. Material & Method: A retrospective study of 212 upper gastrointestinal endoscopic biopsies &histopathological assessment was done at the department of pathology, Smt. NHL Municipal Medical College and Sheth VS general hospital from Sep 2018- Feb 2020. Results: Of the total 212 cases of the oesophagus, stomach and duodenal biopsies, 66.98%were non-neoplastic lesions and 33.02 were neoplastic lesions. The most common malignancy was squamous cell carcinoma in the oesophagal biopsy. In stomach biopsy chronic gastritis (37.5%) was the most common lesion. In duodenal biopsy chronic nonspecific duodenitis (75%) was the most common lesion. Conclusion: In our study, the commonest site for upper gastrointestinal tract biopsy was the duodenum (34.38%) with 75% nonneoplastic lesions, followed by oesophagus (33.01%) 31.4% non-neoplastic and 68.57% neoplastic lesions. The least common site for biopsy was the stomach (30.1%).In the stomach, non-neoplastic lesions were more common. EnglishEndoscopy, Biopsy, Histopathology, Upper gastrointestinal tract, Non-neoplastic lesions, Neoplastic lesions INTRODUCTION: Upper gastrointestinal tract disorders are one of the most commonly encountered problems in clinical practice with a high degree of morbidity and mortality. Endoscopic biopsy is a common procedure performed in hospitals for varieties of benign & malignant lesions. Oesophagus and stomach can be sited for a wide variety of infections, inflammatory disorders, vascular diseases, mechanical conditions, toxic and physical reactions including radiation injury and neoplasm. Histopathological study of the biopsy specimen is used to confirm the endoscopic diagnosis in suspected malignancies /to rule out malignancy in the endoscopically appearing benign lesion. Endoscopic biopsies are also used for monitoring the course, to determine the extent of the disease, response to therapy and early detection of complications.2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To determine the spectrum of histopathological lesions of the upper gastrointestinal tract. To establish endoscopic biopsy as an effective tool in the proper diagnosis of various upper gastrointestinal tract lesions. MATERIAL & METHODS: The present study included 212 endoscopic biopsies of the upper gastrointestinal tract. They were taken from patients who were clinically diagnosed to have upper gastrointestinal tract lesions at the department of gastro medicine at Smt. NHL MMC and Sheth VS general hospital from Sep 2018- Feb 2020. The endoscopic equipment used for endoscopy & biopsy was OLYMPUS CF-H170L/I. Key benefits of this instrument are HDTV image quality, narrow-band imaging (NBI), close focus, variable stiffness, water jet and waterproof connector. The biopsy specimen was put in saline and placed in filter paper with mucosal surface upwards. The filter paper was immersed in 10% formalin for fixation then the tissue was routinely processed and embedded in paraffin. 5 micron thick sections were cut perpendicular to the mucosal surface. 4-5 sections were prepared on each slide. Each section was stained with H&E and studied microscopically and the attempt was made to diagnose the lesion on gross visualization during endoscopy and to correlate them histopathologically. Special stain Giemsa stain was used to look for H. Pylori infection. Alcian blue(at ph 2.5) & PAS stain was used to detect acid mucin in true goblet cells in Barrett’s oesophagus. Results: As cited in table 1 out of a total of 212 GI endoscopic biopsies, 125(58.96%) were from males and 87 (41.03%) were from females with M: F ratio being 1.4:1. Age of patients ranged between 16-72 years with the majority of patients being in the age group between 40-60 years(57.5%) and 2nd most common age group is 20-40 (32.08%)years followed by >60years (8.9%) and 60years (8.9%) and Englishhttp://ijcrr.com/abstract.php?article_id=4253http://ijcrr.com/article_html.php?did=4253 [1] Shah JM, Atit NB, Shah FR, kakadiya SR. interpretation of upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopic biopsies - A retrospective study Int J. Sci Res. 2015;4:9.

This can be a rare cause of bowel obstruction presenting as a surgical emergency. Case Report: Here, we report a case of a 38-year-old man who presented with acute intestinal obstruction and underwent an emergency diagnostic laparoscopy during which the cause of obstruction was confirmed as an abdominal cocoon. An adhesiolysis with the release of obstructive fibrous bands was done and deemed as adequate management. Discussion: It is predominant in women living in tropical regions. It can be either primary (idiopathic) or secondary to peritoneal injury due to infective, malignant aetiology or pharmacological irritants. Although it is usually diagnosed intra-operatively, comput tomography can rarely identify the presence of a thin capsule enclosing dilated bowel loops. Conclusion: A thorough knowledge of secondary causative factors of sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis and its management is of prime importance. It is usually associated with a good prognosis.

Stenopetala Root Extracts for Medicinal Values English9095Asnake Haile AlemuEnglish Kusse Gudishe GoroyaEnglish Filippo Tamiru TuluEnglishIntroduction: The worldwide investigation of plant species for the treatment of various diseases and infections is still valuable. In developing countries, such as Ethiopia, where health care coverage is less, traditional medicine has played a significant role in treating health problems. Moringa stenopetala is among plant species widely used in traditional medicine for treatments of human health cases. Aims: This study was conducted to isolate bioactive compounds from Moringa stenopetala root for medicinal purposes. Methodology: The dried root of Moringa stenopetala was extracted with different solvents: n-hexane, dichloromethane/methanol (1:1) and methanol using maceration. Results: Phytochemical analysis confirmed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, phenols, steroids, glycosides, terpenoids and tannins. Compounds were isolated and the compounds were characterized using results from spectroscopic techniques (IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and DEPT-135). The results signify that isolated and characterized compounds are (5E, 7Z, 10E)- 4,5,6,7-tetramethylnonadeca-5,7,10-trienoic acid and (4E,6E,8E)-pentadeca-4,6,8-trienoic acid with a structure that nearly look like simple fatty acids. Conclusion: Fatty acids are known to possess antimicrobial activities of different strains and the result of this work supports the indigenous knowledge of the community of using this tree for antimalarial and anti-pain treatments.

However, these phytoconstituents’ bioavailability is restricted due to poor absorption. The failure of these constituents to access their site of operation before being degraded, as well as their inability to migrate through the small intestine owing to their multi-ring structures and the lipid composition of the intestinal wall, are the main causes of inadequate absorption. Phytosome technology is one of these devices, which incorporates phospholipids into the uniform active ingredients of herbal extracts, effectively increasing the bioavailability of water-soluble phytoactive constituents including flavonoids, phenolics, and hydrophilic compounds. Aim: The aim of the study involves highlighting the latest developments in the area of phytosome drug delivery systems which will help researchers in better understanding the subject. Materials and Methods: Normal databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and others were combed through to find critical published facts in the form of research articles. Results: This research overview summarizes recent developments in phytosome science, focusing on fundamental principles, characterization techniques, method of development, pharmacotherapeutic uses, marketed drugs, and phytosomes potential prospects. Conclusion: Phytosomes are a form of advanced herbal extract that is more easily absorbed and produces better results than traditional herbal extract.

Though anti-dote or anti-snake venom serum is freely available at government health care centres yet is marred by inept handling, storage and lack of specificity. In India, most of the venomous snakes belong to the Elapidae&Viperidae families. Aim: The need of the hour is to discover new anti-dotes which are not only cheap but can act against a wide range of snake venoms. In this paper, the venom of the Flavanoids has been reported to have anti-snake venom activity due to which the cabbage (Brassica oleracea) was selected for its high flavonoid content. Methodology: The leafy body of Brassica oleracea var capitata (family: Brassicaceae) was chosen to be studied as a source of anti-dote against the venom of Russell’s viper (Daboiarusselii). The leaves were used to prepare an extract which was tested for having the potential to reduce proteolysis in plasma cells in presence of the venom. Results: The effective concentration 50 (EC50) of Russell’s viper (Daboiarusselii) was determined on goat’s plasma at 4.54 micron/mL and the aqueous extract of cabbage was seen to prevent proteolysis. Next, the minimum coagulant dose (MCD) was calculated at 3.69 µg/ml for goat’s plasma and the aqueous extract of cabbage was seen to delay venom induced plasma clotting. Conclusion: An analysis of these results indicate that cabbage can be a potential source of extract capable of reducing physiological effects caused by snake venom.

Conclusion: A positive outcome gets by the patient not only with the help of therapeutic management but also the family coping and support even. later on, due to proper psychopharmacological treatment, the patient showed positive feedback and slowly all the aims are achieved which were planned in the period. Finally, the patient got discharged from the hospital and now he is continuing his follow-up. EnglishShell shock trauma, Neurotic disorder, Stress disorder, Flashback, Terrorism, Prolonged exposure Introduction Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), also known as shell shock or battle fatigue syndromes, is a severe illness that may occur after an individual has encountered or witnessed a traumatic or frightening incident involving serious physical harm or danger. Shell shock is a long-term effect of traumatic experiences that trigger extreme anxiety, helplessness, or terror.1 During the Vietnam War, the idea was expressed. If it is extreme, death-threatening and reasons serious damage, an occurrence is called shocking, or the serious reaction includes fear, helplessness and terror. example of traumatic events is an accident, disaster (natural or man-made), terrorist attack, gang rape, war event, physical assault, etc.2Most common risk factors or causes of post-traumatic stress disorder include sexual or physical assault, loss of a loved object, war, natural disaster, accident, and unexpected death of love.3Common symptoms are relieving the traumatic events by distressing, unwanted memories, flashback, palpitation, feeling of upset, fear, feeling anger, feeling of upset, self-blame and other also, loss of interest into day to day activities, they feel cut off from friends family, want to avoid remind stressful events, they troubling to a sleeping pattern or concentration and feeling of irritable.4Post-traumatic stress disorder developed different mental health conditions like fear, anxiety and depression, alcoholism, drugs taken as a way of coping.5acute stress, adjustment disorder, disinhibited social engagement disorder, etc. The post-traumatic stress disorder prevalence rate among adults is 6.8%. the lifetime prevalence rate among men was 3.6 and in females was 9.7%.6 COVID-19 developed various kinds of post-traumatic stress disorder such as anxiety or, stress, depressive disorder, suicide, substance use disorders, loss of job, income, failure of a marriage, etc. Global effects include high morbidity or mortality rate or financial problem, and sustained social isolation for people. Isolation, quarantine, and lockdown measures to control the COVID-19 may have negative and psychological, and social consequences. The majority of the expected direct effects of quarantine and related social and physical isolation, such as financial insecurity, boredom, anger, feeling burdened, loneliness, and fear, are risk factors for mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, suicide, and self-harm.7 Patient Information A case selected from AVBR Hospital Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha where lack of mental health services for the remote population, or Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital provided psychiatric health facilities for all the needy people. The 35-year-old woman had a history of losing her son in a road traffic accident three months ago. she detached herself from social, lack interaction with others, from family member, friends. she was talking about the incident continuously for 3week, irritable, muttering to herself, loss of interest in daily activity, disturbed sleeping pattern, anxious, worried, stressed, loss of appetite, hallucination present, and muttering to self. No history of the family regarding mental illness. all necessary investigations are done like history collection, mental status examination, blood investigation after that diagnosis to have post-traumatic stress disorder by mental status examination. Precipitating factors: stressor, the presence of a traumatic event with her son. Past psychiatric history the patient was asymptomatic 3 months before. Due to the loss of their love object (son), she has started symptoms she loss of social interaction with others, irritability, muttering to self, loss of interest in daily activity, disturbed sleeping pattern, anxiety, worried, stress, loss of appetites, muttering to self, hallucination. the patient was taken treatment from a private hospital. he received psychopharmacological treatment antidepressant, fluoxetine, mood stabilized. still symptoms not minimized. so, a patient came to AVBR Hospital Sawangi Meghe Wardha. The patient is not having any past and present medical history apart from this. The patient was completely alright before the presentation of the above clinical manifestations. No history of surgery. Family history: patient belongs to a joint family, and is middle class. her life with her husband and daughter and mother-in-law and father-in-law. her husband working as clear in private, his family income per month 18000/-. she is a housewife.  Sign and symptoms  This patient presented with typical symptoms of loss of social interaction with others, irritability, muttering to self, loss of interest in daily activity, disturbed sleeping pattern, anxiety, worried, stress, loss of appetites, muttering to self, hallucination.8 Diagnostic Assessment History collection done no any history of the family regarding mental illness. physical examination: Facial expression tension, anxiety, unstable gait, lack of speech. Blood investigation: Hb%-11mg/dl, glucose plasma random-80 mg%, serum globulin 3.0gm%, serum protein-7gm%, and antigen test- Negative. Mental status examination: auditory hallucination present, abnormal speech, abnormal, inappropriate affect. Neurological examination and process recording are done. Therapeutic intervention. Fluoxetine/Prozac-By blocking the reuptake transporter protein located in the presynaptic terminal, it helps block the reuptake of serotine into presynaptic neurons. Sertraline/Zoloft-As an inhibitor of dopamine transporters, it has a mild effect. Imipramine/Tofranil-It helps to inhibit the reuptake of certain neurotransmitters in the brain. Nursing interventions · provided supportive therapy to develop trust, reduce the stress and anxiety of the client. Avoid excessive probing into details of trauma · Promote independence and the client’s higher level of functioning. Reconnect the individual with the existing support system explained stress coping strategies therapy yoga, meditation, relaxation, recreation, group therapies to reduce isolation, breathing techniques. A consistent empathetic approach helps the client to tolerate intense memories and emotional pains. Timeline The patient was admitted for three weeks and the nursing care has been provided along with the psychopharmacological interventions along with psychosocial therapy like mediation, yoga recreation therapy, stress management coping strategies, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, group, and family therapy. The patient's condition was prognosed and the patient got discharged from the hospital in a good condition and follow-up has been taken regularly. Data extraction: Data collected from PubMed, libraries hand search book, Medline and Cochrane.  Primary Outcome To minimize symptoms of shell shock by the antianxiety drug, mood stabilizer antidepressant drug and other psychosocial therapies.  Secondary outcome Regular follow-up will prevent adverse effects of newly prescribed antipsychotic drugs. Prognosis The prognosis is the first and foremost dependant on early and successful treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. As well as the prognosis also depends upon the severity of the disease condition but also the socioeconomic background of the family and meanwhile family coping. treatment regimen, later on, the patient was given a positive outcome and finally, he was discharged from the hospital while staying in a hospital for about 20 days. Discussion A 35 year of old female client from Nalwadi was admitted to AVBR Hospital Sawangi Meghe Wardha in a female psychiatric ward with chief complaints of muttering to self, hallucination, lack of social interaction with a family member and others, anxiety, tension, stress, repetition of events, flash block for 3 weeks caused by this her lose her son in a road traffic accident. the patient received psychopharmacological treatment along with psychosocial therapy. only pharmacological treatment is not effective but psychosocial therapy is also important for reducing symptoms. The patient's condition was improved and finally, the patient got discharged from the hospital and she has taken follow-up services in Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital on an OPD basis. One of the investigators found that approximately 3.6 per cent of American adults, or 5.2 million individuals, have experience shell shock in a given year, and found that 7.8 million Americans will develop shell shock at some stage in their lives. It occurs in any age group, including childhood. Most common in women rather than men due to women being more likely to be victims of domestic violence, bullying, and rape.2 One of the researchers researched Evidence-based post-traumatic stress disorder trials for the third generation. Related EB clinical trials are expected in due course to assess the intensity of the indication in support of alternative methods to the management of shell shock. Like that the practice of complementary treatments (e.g., Herbal massage and food complements) for tension or co-morbid pain, nervousness and fear are common between active military veterans or their partners. Results suggest that despite sound positive research information, around seventy per cent of the surveyed subjects want these treatments existing at the medical management services. Thus, this patient group is at significant risk of being underserved. The need for orderly evaluations of the benefit of complementary medicine in the action of posttraumatic stress disorder between the civilian people is also becoming apparent in the light of growing studies suggesting the profits of acupuncture or massage in people exposed to traumatic events.9 One of the research articles says that Rates of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder were observed in instruction to comparison the outline inpatient of an Australian Community Mental Health Facility through that was described in the international literature for clients with a major mental disorder or to discover the outcome of this on client health outcomes. they used t-test and ANOVA. in that finding of the result is undocumented trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder were found. It is assumed that, as stated for people with a serious mental condition, the elevated stages of the event, with those observed in the present research, are primarily linked to the features of the people receiving confirm community mental health facilities or that these factors have exact consequences for the distribution of facilities or increase problems of source utilization or efficiency.10 One of the researches conducted on trauma-related health problem humanitarian staff. The result of this study suggests that mental health issues are faced by nationwide workers or the prevalence of PTSD, anxiety or depression, in this occupation category is generally equal to or greater than amongst comparison groups. There is an especially scarce study amongst nationwide workers on substance use illness or suicidal behaviour. The relationship between gender or mental health problems amongst nationwide workers seems to be complex, or support for organizational staff seems to be a significant factor of mental health.11 Conclusion Posttraumatic stress disorders are psychiatric illnesses with substantial psychosocial and biological consequences. These disorders can cause significant emotional and physical turmoil. In delivering appropriate treatment for the client, nurses can involve members of a family or build support and a clear empathic method to help the client withstand penetrating memories or emotional pain. Post-traumatic stress disorder, on the other hand, provides an opportunity for psychological and spiritual development due to the human capacity to adapt or succeed in the face of hardship or difficult times.

Fruit Pulp in Experimental Animals     English146154Kawade Rajendra MEnglish Ghante Mahavir HEnglish Warokar Amol SEnglish Aims: The present study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective potential of standardized Annona squamosa Linn fruit pulp extract using various in-vitro and in-vivo models. Methodology: Neuroprotective potential of the standardized extract was screened against dopamine-induced contraction of iso-lated rat vas deferens, serotonin-induced contractions of isolated rat fundus, and acetylcholine-induced contractions of isolated goat tracheal chain. In-vivo models such as elevated plus maze, light and dark model, force swim test, tail suspension test, lithium-induced head twitches, haloperidol-induced catalepsy, PTZ induced seizure and foot shock-induced aggression were implemented to screen various doses intervals (50-200mg/kg) of extracts in experimental animals. Results: Standardization of extract showed content of polyphenols 65.37 mg/g of GAE, total flavonoid 5.33 mg/g of RE and HPLC fingerprinting of ASP-ME showed identical retention time as that of standard gallic acid, quercetine and rutin, viz 3.830, 5.765 and 3.830 respectively. Inhibition of DPPH radical reflected as 91.32±0.19 % while percent inhibition of RRI of DPPH was observed as 95.99±0.47 at 150 min. ASP-ME significantly inhibited dopamine and serotonin-induced contraction on isolated rat vas deferens and rat fundus respectively at log dose (1.3, 2.5) for dopamine and log dose (2.2, 2.5) for serotonin. ASP-ME potentiated ach-induced contractions on goat tracheal chain preparation. Ach alone produces 106.90±4.6 % response, while ASP-ME in presence of Ach potentiates response and produces 141.80±10 % response. The extract demonstrated anxiolytic activity by increasing the time spent in open arms and light zone in elevated plus maze and light dark test respectively. The duration of immobility was significantly decreased in force swim & tail suspension test respectively demonstrating antidepressant activity. Administration of ASP-ME shown antipsychotic effect in a dose-dependent manner by minimising aggression induced by foot shock (reduced number of flights), while potentiation of catalepsy induced by haloperidol. The extract also exhibited serotonergic system inhibitory effect by significantly reducing head twitches imparted by lithium. The ASP-ME significantly delayed the onset of first myoclonic and clonic spasms induced by PTZ indicating anticonvulsant effects. Extract also shown ability to decrease the behavior facilitated by the serotonergic and dopaminergic coordination, while potentiated the actions produced by GABA. Conclusion: Finding of the study suggests anxiolytic, antidepressant, antipsychotic effects of ASP-ME probably mediated through dopamine D2 and 5-HT receptors, with neuroprotective activity.
