Involutional Melancholia

In the development of involutional melancholia a variety of causes have from time to time been implicated, ranging from glandular upset of ovarian or pituitary origin to the stress of air-raids. In the bulk of cases the pathogenesis would appear to depend on the interaction of a constellation of predisposing and precipitating factors. In the present study a tentative attempt has been made to indicate a possible ethnic element in the aetiology of this psychosis.

Fundamental Consideration

Decision-making capacity is a fundamental consideration in working with patients in a clinical setting. One of the most common conditions affecting decision-making capacity in patients in the inpatient or long-term care setting is a form of acute, transient cognitive change known as delirium. A thorough understanding of delirium — how it can present, its predisposing and precipitating factors, and how it can be managed — will improve a speech-language pathologist's (SLPs) ability to make treatment recommendations, and to advise the treatment team on issues related to communication and patient autonomy.

Granuloma annulare (GA) is a benign inflammatory skin condition of unknown etiology. Various clinical forms of GA including localized, generalized, subcutaneous, patch and perforating types, have been described. Although the etiology and pathogenesis of granuloma annulare are obscure, there is much evidence for an immunological mechanism. Precipitating factors are insect bites, sunburn, photochemotherapy, drugs, physical trauma, acute phlebitis and sepsis after surgery.[1] Some authors have proposed that it might be associated with a variety of underlying conditions such as thyroid disorders, diabetes mellitus and positive tuberculin skin test.[2] For definitive diagnosis, a biopsy should be performed. We report a case of generalized GA with serpiginous borders on the dorsal aspects of the hands and arms along with an association with diabetes.

Organophosphorus (OP) compound poisoning is a medical emergency. It is important to know its nature, clinical presentation, severity and outcome in order to take up appropriate measures including proper planning, treatment and prevention. This study was aimed to assess the clinical profile of organophosphorus poisoning. This is a prospective hospital based study conducted at CMS-T.H., Bharatpur, Nepal. The study included 111 patients of organophosphorus poisoning during the period November 2008 to July 2011. The incidence was commoner in females than males with female:male ratio being 1.47:1. Majority of the patients(58.56%) belonged to the age group 16 to 30 years with female predominance(2.25:1). Modes of poisoning were suicidal in the majority (94.59%), accidental in 4.50%. and homicidal in 0.90%. Psychiatric problems were the major precipitating factors. Majority of patients(62.16%) had moderate poisoning (POP scale: 4-7).On admission, dyselectrolytemia and respiratory failure were found in 74.77% and 21.62% respectively.8 patients expired (7.69%). Large amount of OP poison ingestion (>40ml) and increased severity of poisoning (POP scale) were found to have statistical significance with the rate of mortality.
