The Confluence of Bipolar Disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Abstract: The psychopathologies termed bipolar disorders (“manic depression”) affect approximately one percent of the global population. Patients with bipolar disorders have “mood swings” characterized as vacillation between depressive, hypomanic, and manic episodes. However, medical conditions or comorbid disorders can have similar behavioral manifestations. Bipolar disorders appear to be connected by familial genetics to behavioral traits associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder. A possible genetic link of bipolar disorders to obsessive-compulsive disorder may be …

Evaluation of Antimicrobial Activity of Some Medicinal Plants against Most Prevalent Diabetic Wound Pathogens
Abstract: The present research work attempts to evaluate antimicrobial activity of 90% ethanolic extracts of three traditional medicinal plants viz. Terminalia bellirica, Terminalia chebula, Pyhllanthus emblica. Since ethanol is the best solvent for dissolving antimicrobial compound present as active phytoconstituents in plants, these plants were extracted with ethanol. Each extract was tested for its antimicrobial activity against three most prevalent pathogenic microorganism associated with diabetic wounds, viz. Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC3160), Pseudomonas …

A Rare Variant of Holoprosencephaly: Ethmocephaly with Inferior Proboscis and Amelia
Abstract: Ethmocephaly is a rare phenotypic variant of holoprosencephaly, characterized by the failure of embryonic prosencephalon to properly divide the orbits of the eye into two cavities with grossly incomplete morphogenesis of fore brain. The severity has a marked variability and ranges from hypotelorism to cyclopia with craniofacial dysmorphism, such as microcephaly with a single central incisor. Reports of this anomaly are few and because of the rarity even among Holoprosencephaly. …
