Abstract There has been a long-lasting debate about whether salient stimuli, such as uniquely colored objects, have the ability to automatically distract us. To resolve this debate, it suggested that stimuli do attract attention but they can be suppressed prevent distraction. Some research supporting viewpoint focused on newly discovered ERP component called distractor positivity (PD), which is thought measure an inhibitory attentional process. This collaborative review summarizes previous...
People often complain about distraction by irrelevant sounds that reportedly hamper performance on concurrent visual tasks demanding the allocation of focused attention toward relevant stimuli, such as processing street signs during driving. To study this everyday issue experimentally, we devised a cross-modal paradigm, inspired standard visual-distraction paradigm (additional-singleton paradigm) is highly sensitive to measure interference attention. In visual-search pop-out task,...
<b>Context:</b> Performance of medical students in developing nations like India is perceived to have largely declined. <b>Aims:</b> We attempted assess the reasons behind such trends. <b>Settings and Design:</b> Students their third year study were given a predesigned, pretested structured validated questionnaire that they filled anonymously. The key areas assessed concentration, interest understanding subject other causes poor performance. Tests for descriptive statistics applied...
The N2pc is widely employed as an electrophysiological marker of attention allocation. This interpretation was largely driven by the observation elicited isolated relevant target object, which reported Experiment 2 in Eimer (1996). All subsequent refined interpretations had to take this crucial finding into account. Despite its central role for neurocognitive research, there have been no direct replications and only few conceptual seminal work. Within context #EEGManyLabs, international...
To evaluate the drug prescribing trends in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of tertiary hospital eastern India.The study was prospective that spanned for period 6 months from March 2005 to August 2005. Prescriptions and patient records were reviewed analyzed using World Health Organization (WHO) indicators utilization studies. Rationality usage also evaluated by analyzing prescriptions.A total 176 neonates admitted 21 deaths noted. The number drugs prescribed 849. average per...
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common and important health problem affecting the citizens of developed as well developing nations.

The objective this study was evaluate pattern type-2 diabetes patients diabetic clinic tertiary care teaching hospital Bengal.Methods: This prospective observational...
Diabetic dyslipidaemia poses a therapeutic challenge. New therapies have emerged in this patient subgroup to enhance outcome and improve compliance.The aim of study was compare the effectiveness safety add on therapy saroglitazar fenofibrate with metformin Indian patients diabetic dyslipidaemia.Adults fulfilling inclusion criteria were randomized two groups. Group A received (1000 mg/ day) (160 mg/day) while group B (4 mg/day). Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1C), triglyceride (TG), LDL-...
The N2pc is widely employed as an electrophysiological marker of attention allocation. This interpretation was in no small part driven by the observation elicited isolated relevant target object, which reported Experiment 2 Eimer (1996; component indicator attentional selectivity. Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, 99, 225-234). All subsequent refined interpretations had to take this crucial finding into account. Despite its central role for neurocognitive research, there...
The present study was undertaken to assess whether performance in the continuous assessment method as determined by internal assessment, correlates final summative evaluation 2(nd) professional MBBS students Pharmacology for last four years (2009-2012).This conducted over a period of three months at Nilratan Sircar Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata (West Bengal, India). It retrospective non-interventional record-based based on students' score sheets examinations.The strength correlation...
Topiramate, an antiepileptic drug is reported to cause various ocular adverse effects like acute onset myopia, glaucoma. Visual field defect uncommon, serious treatment emergent effect. We are reporting two cases of suspected topiramate induced visual defects. <br>Both the were on for more than 6 months as add-on therapy at daily doses ranging from 100-150mg. The presenting complaints insidious disturbances. Diagnosis was based temporal association with intake, clinical examination and...
To compare the effectiveness and safety of cefpodoxime ciprofloxacin for treatment mild to moderate cases acute exacerbation chronic suppurative otitis media (AECSOM).Adult patients diagnosed with AECSOM were screened fulfilling inclusion criteria randomized receive either 200 mg twice daily or 500 orally 7 days. The primary outcome this randomized, open-labeled, phase IV clinical trial (Registration Number - CTRI/2011/10/002079) was success rate at day 14 visit secondary incidence adverse...
Movement disorders (MD) are neurological conditions that affect the speed, fluency, quality, and ease of movement commonly include Parkinson's disease, tremor dystonias. Drugs important causes MD, incidence prevalence such possibly underappreciated because lack recognition.To assess all adverse drug reactions (ADRs) estimate drug-induced MD among patients attending clinic.This prospective observational study was conducted at an outpatient referral clinic a tertiary care hospital for 1 year....

The main objective is to compare efficacy and safety of pregabalin amitriptyline monotherapy with their low-dose combination in patients neuropathic pain (NeuP).In this parallel-group, open-label interventional study at the Neurology Outpatient Department Bankura Sammilani Medical College, a total 147 were randomly allocated into three groups prescribed following drugs - Group P (n = 42) 150 mg once daily, A 34), 25 Z 37) (75 mg) + (10 as daily. They followed up after 4, 8, 12 weeks....
Dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are one of the most commonly used anti-diabetic drugs because their established safety and efficacy. Bullous pemphigoid which is an autoimmune blister skin disorder associated with DPP-4 a recognized adverse drug reaction (ADR) reported in some Southeast Asian Nations but has not been earlier from India. It uncommon, serious treatment emergent effects. Here, we report series five cases inhibitor Linagliptin-induced bullous Type 2 diabetes mellitus...
Completely ignoring a salient distractor presented concurrently with target is difficult, and sometimes attention involuntarily attracted to the distractor's location (attentional capture). Employing N2ac component as marker of allocation toward sounds, in this study we investigate spatiotemporal dynamics auditory across two experiments. Human participants (male female) performed an search task, where was accompanied by two-third trials. For more than (Experiment 1), observe not only...
Abstract The bilateral duplex system is extremely uncommon, and only a few cases have been documented in the literature. It may manifest as bifid renal pelvis partial or complete ureteric duplication, with without ectopic insertion of ureter. An ureter more problematic when there significant vesicoureteral reflux, incontinence, and/or blockage. optimal course treatment considered to be ureteral reimplantation rather than heminephrectomy. We describe management strategy for case kidneys...
