Lithium Induces Lower Specific Activity and Expression of Acetylcholinesterase in Old Aged Rats Brain and Liver for the Regulation of Acetyl Choline Cellular Signaling
Abstract: Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) acts on acetylcholine (ACh) to terminate its actions on the synaptic cleft by cleaving Ach to choline and acetate. This directly correlates with memory dysfunction and loss of cognitive functions in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients which was a continuous decline of the cholinergic neurotransmission in cortical and other regions of human brain. Specific activity and expression for AChEwere determined in LiCl2 treated young and old male wistar rat's …

A Clinical Study of Junctional Injuries of Spine with Special Emphasis on Dorsolumbar Junction—An Institutional Study
Abstract: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the commonest avoidable cause which leads to significant morbidity and mortality and is responsible for increased total number of lost days to work. Due to biomechanics of the spine, chances of injury are more at the junction of two different segments of vertebrae. This study provides overview of different aspects of junctional injury with special emphasis to dorsolumbar (DL) junction. Keywords: Spinal injury, …

Identification of Incidence and Outcome of Diffuse-Axonal Injuries
Abstract: Background: Diffuse axonal injury (DAI), a specific type of traumatic brain injury, may be caused by shearing forces leading to widespread tearing of axons and small vessels. This study is designed to identify the incidence, risk factors, mortality and analyze outcome in DAI. Method: 120 patients with DAI were recorded in the duration of 2 years. DAI was confirmed by signs of injury identified in radiology imaging. Patients underwent surgery, …

Sentence Judgment and Correction Abilities in Persons with Anomic and Conduction Aphasia
Abstract: Persons with aphasia posses’ difficulty in syntactic judgment, regardless of the aphasia type. Even persons with milder variants with aphasia such as conduction aphasia and anomic aphasia do exhibit deficits on syntactic judgment. The syntactic judgment ability is tested through a judgment task where the participants have to speculate the response if the sentence presented to them is correct or incorrect. In order to counteract this variable, sentence correction task …

Leukemia Presenting as Guillain-Barré Syndrome: A case Report
Abstract: This case report shows an extremely rare initial manifestation of Leukemia in which patient presents with GBS like clinical pattern. A young lady presents with few days’ history of ascending areflexic quadriparesis with cranial nerve and respiratory involvement. On investigation, she was detected to have Acute Leukemia as the underlying cause. Thus, this case highlights the importance of ruling out haematological malignancies in case of Atypical GBS. Keywords: Leukemia, Guillain-Barré …

Lexical Semantic Organization for Verbs
Abstract: The words in the lexicon are arranged according to a prescribed pattern. Many terms such as syntagmatic versus paradigmatic, contiguity versus similarity, etc are put forth to explain the organization. The terms taxonomic versus thematic is found to be more apt while explaining the organization for nouns and verbs. Taxonomic refers to the names of other lexical items, while thematic refers to the cluster of words which goes with the …
