English0911Deoraj SinhaEnglish Henal Rakesh ShahEnglishCombination of Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and clozapine is used in resistant schizophrenia. Fatal pulmonary embolism is a rare complication of clozapine and ECT each, when combined it almost doubles the risk of mortality. The ECT and clozapine combination should be used judiciously in patients of schizophrenia. During the coure of treatment one should always suspect pulmonary embolism if there is any complains of breathlessness.

AND WEND AND PICRORHIZA KURROA ROYAL EX BENTH
English1221Shubha K.S.English Lakshmidevi N.English Sowmya S.EnglishThe present study examined the antioxidant effect of alcoholic extract of root and fruit of Solanum xanthocarpam and Picrorhiza kurroa rhizome at various concentrations. The results of the study revealed that in reducing power the highest activity was observed in S. xanthocarpam root followed by least with P. kurroa rhizome. In ABTS method, S. xanthocarpam root exhibited the highest activity with IC50 values 373.42 µg/ml followed by least P. kurroa rhizome with IC50 values 491 µg/ml. In DPPH scavenging activity P. kurroa rhizome showed highest scavenging activity with IC50 values 72.58 µg/ml followed by S. xanthocarpam root recorded the lowest scavenging activity with IC50 values 197.24 µg/ml. In superoxide anion radical scavenging activity, S. xanthocarpam fruit were found to be effective scavenging activity of 56% with IC50 values 392.16 µg/ml and least exhibited by S. xanthocarpam root scavenging of 50% with IC50 values 484.12 µg/ml and these are all compared with the standard BHA and BHT. The results has revealed that the plant extract has significant antioxidant activity and are encouraging for further assessment to elucidate the mechanism of action and to the antioxidant effect and the membrane stability.

English3032Seema MondalEnglish Sanjay SarkarEnglish Koushik BoseEnglish Debasish GuhaEnglishAn extensive tumour in a 35-year-old women with gradual swelling of abdomen. On examination, solid mass over the abdomen of 28 weeks size of gravid uterus. Tumor was fixed with irregular surface and proved to be an aggressive fibromatosis [Desmoid tumour] on histological examination. Twelve months after surgery there was no evidence of recurrent disease. This suggests that tumour resection had been successful.

English3336Smitha S. SeguEnglish Kumaraswamy M.English Harsh ChaturvediEnglish Rahul PathakEnglishThe authors investigated, in a randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blinded study, the efficacy and safety of lornoxicam in pain during dressing of burn patient with 2nd degree burns and on tramadol consumption in burn patients. Fifty patients were randomized to receive either lornoxicam (8mg) or tramadol (50 mg) and vice versa. The evaluation was performed with visual analogue (VAS) pain scores by encircling the pain score immediately after the dressings and 2 hrs after the same, and overall patient satisfaction. Both the drugs lornoxicam and tramadol were effective in reducing the pain score in burn patient. We conclude that lornoxicam is non-inferior to tramadol in reducing burn pain.
