Fifty cases were studied from 2008 to 2010 aimed to study the clinical presentation of children with ring enhancing lesions in CT scan of brain. The most common presentation of children with ring enhancing lesion in CT scan brain is seizures (76%). Seizures with focal deficit and features of raised ICT constitute (18%), only raised ICT and focal deficit (6%). Neurocycticercosis is more common in the age group of 6-10 yrs of age. Tuberculoma is the cause of raised ICT in children with single ring enhancing lesion. Neurocysticercosis is cause of raised ICT in children with multiple ring enhancing lesions.

Materials and Methods: Albino rats of either sex (weighing 100-180 g) were used. Albino rats were used by random distribution in group of 10 animals each. Intensity of Stereotyped Behaviour (SB) is assessed by Costall and Naylor scoring system. All drug solutions were prepared immediately before use and were injected i.p. The volume of injection was 2 ml/kg body weight for caffeine and other remaining drugs. While it was 5 ml/kg body weight for alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine (AMT). Drug doses, routes of administration and the testing time intervals were selected based on previous studies conducted in our laboratory and those reported in literature. The results were expressed as mean ± S.E.M. and data was analysed by student’s unpaired t-test with differences considered significant at PEnglishAlpha-methyl-P-Tyrosine, Caffeine, Apomorphine, Dexamphetamine, Stereotyped Behaviour.http://ijcrr.com/abstract.php?article_id=80http://ijcrr.com/article_html.php?did=80

PatilEnglishBackground: Depression is regarded as the most common psychiatric illness among geriatric population. It accounts for more than half the psychiatric morbidity in Indian elderly. With the growing number of elderly in the Indian population, the burden of depression is going to be enormous on the society. Objectives: 1.

People aged 60 years and above were included in the study. 150 geriatric people were approached by house to house visit in the urban slum Bashanagar, field practice area of SSIMS & RC. Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) was used to assess the depression. Socio demographic factors and the chronic Health morbidities were measured by responses to interview on questionnaires. Results: Prevalence of depression was 33%. All the respondents belonged to Muslim community. The mean age of the respondents was 65.7 ± 6.08, majority of them being in the age group of 60 – 69 (74.7%). Majority of the respondents were females 105 (70%), illiterates (76%) & not working group (65%). According to modified Kuppuswamy’s classification 84% were belonging to lower socio economic class.
