Item Accidental injuries among technical personnel in railways at Allahabad.(1981-10-01) Ghosh, D B; Singh, G; Banerji, S C; Singh, MItem Action of acetylcholine on the atropinised frog heart during the winter months.(1977-01-01) Singh, G; Mediratta, P K; Singh, A G; Srivastava, M PDuring the winter months, high doses of acetylcholine produced positive inotropic action without any chronotropic action on the perfused atropinised frog heart, in 5 out of 24 preparations. In the remaining preparations acetylcholine failed to produce any action and positive inotropic effect of acetylcholine on these preparations was noticed if they were perfused with the medium containing excess of calcium. However, the rate remained unchanged. The positive inotropic action was blocked by the local anaesthetic amethocaine and thus may be due to increased penetration of calcium into the cardiac cell.Item Action of acetylcholine on the atropinised heart of the frog during summer months.(1983-04-01) Mediratta, P K; Prabhu, S; Prasad, S; Singh, GDuring summer months high doses of acetylcholine produced positive inotropic and chronotropic actions in 19 out of 22 preparations of atropinised perfused heart of the frog. Hexamethonium failed to block both the positive inotropic and chronotropic actions of Ach. Interestingly another ganglion blocking agent mecamylamine as well as beta adrenergic blocking agent propranolol blocked the positive inotropic action but not the positive chronotropic action.Item Action of pilocarpine on the rat blood pressure.(1975-10-01) Singh, GItem Acute renal failure following consumption of raw fish gall-bladder from Manipur.(2004-09-21) Singh, N S; Singh, L K S; Khaidem, I; Singh, G; Sudha Reddy, V R; Bawi, N S; Singh, Y IThree cases of acute renal failure following consumption of raw grass gall bladder are reported here from NE State, Manipur.Item Adreno-cortical function in leprosy.(1988-10-01) Garg, R; Agrawal, J K; Bajpai, H S; Singh, G; Srivastava, P KAdreno cortical function was carried out in 43 cases of leprosy. These cases were further divided into tuberculoid, borderline, lepromatous and Lepra reaction. Serum and urinary electrolyte, urinary 17-Ketosteroid and 17-Ketogenic steroid and plasma cortisol levels were measured to assess the adrenocortical status in these different forms of leprosy. It was observed that these parameters were within normal limit in tuberculoid leprosy except low value of urinary 17-Ketogenic steroid. The borderline and Lepromatous leprosy cases revealed low values of urinary sodium, potassium and 17-Ketogenic steroid and high level of serum potassium. However, the cases of lepra reaction revealed low value of serum and urinary sodium and potassium, urinary 17-Ketogenic steroid. The basal plasma cortisol level was high in this group but it was statistically insignificant.Item Advanced intussusception--a diagnostic error.(1997-01-01) Mitra, S K; Budhiraja, S; Singh, GItem Air travel and pulmonary embolism: "economy class syndrome".(2008-11-12) Bhatia, Vineet; Arora, Parneesh; Parida, Ashok K; Singh, G; Kaul, UpendraAir travel is implicated as a predisposing factor for thromboembolism, which at times can have catastrophic consequences. We present 3 cases who developed deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and subsequent pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) after transatlantic air travel. The relevant literature is discussed.Item Akathisia--diagnostic dilemma and behavioral treatment.(2003-06-23) Mattoo, S K; Singh, G; Vikas, AAkathisia, an involuntary movement disorder resulting from exposure to antipsychotics, is characterized by subjective restlessness and a strong desire to move about. The diagnosis is often complicated by the overlapping symptoms of pseudoakathisia, chronic akathisia and tardive dyskinesia. This report deals with a patient with schizophrenia who developed akathisia after exposure to antipsychotics. Later, she developed movements that were more like pseudoakathisia and tardive dyskinesia rather than acute akathisia. On failure of anti-akathisia medication, she was treated with a behavioral regime to which her akathisia responded. This behavioral regime used the technique of distraction as a primary tool. This case report highlights the diagnostic difficulties in akathisia and the application of behavioral treatment for akathisia that is non-responsive to anti-akathisia medication.Item Anaemia in tribals of Adhaura, Rohtas, Bihar.(1984-01-01) Kaur, P; Singh, G; Pandey, S SItem Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia.(1990-07-01) Singh, G; Subramanya, H; Panth, G C; Chakrabarty, NItem Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.(1987-03-01) Guha, P K; Kishore, V; Singh, G; Rathore, B SItem Another way of looking at the efficacy of pralidoxime in organophosphate poisoning.(1998-05-29) Singh, G; Avasthi, GItem Asplenia syndrome.(1989-06-01) Singh, G; Nath, R; Mysorekar, V RItem Association of MDR-TB isolates with clinical characteristics of patients from Northern region of India.(2014-07) Gupta, A; Nagaraja, M R; Kumari, P; Singh, G; Raman, R; Singh, S K; Anupurb, SPurpose: We sought to determine the characteristics and relative frequency of transmission of MDR‑TB in North India and their association with the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of TB‑patients. Materials and Methods: To achieve the objectives PCR‑SSCP, MAS‑PCR and direct DNA sequencing were used against 101 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates. Results: Multidrug‑resistant‑TB isolates were found to be significantly higher (P = 0.000) in previously treated patients in comparison to newly diagnosed patients. Further, significant differences (P = 0.003) were observed between different age groups (Mean ± SD, 28.6 ± 11.77) of the TB patients and multidrug resistance. Most frequent mutations were observed at codons 531 and 315 of rpoB and katG genes, respectively, in MDR‑TB isolates. Conclusion: Routine surveillance of resistance to anti‑TB drugs will improve timely recognition of MDR‑TB cases and help prevent further transmission in Northern India.Item Asynchronous e-learning in microbiology for undergraduate medical students(Mrs Dipika Charan of MedScience (India) Publications, 2022-05) Bakshi, R; Singh, AD; Gill, GPS; Oberoi, S; Gill, VJS; Singh, G; Oberoi, A; Badyal, D.Background: The most common teaching method in medical institutes in India and throughout the globe is standard lesson-based teaching. E-learning is the use of internet technology to facilitate conscious learning and increase knowledge and competences, notably during the COVID-19 epidemic. Aim and Objectives: The aim of study was to develop a module for an interactive disease-based e-learning teaching session to impart knowledge to undergraduate medical students regarding the microbiological diagnostic techniques for enteric fever/the given organism with objectives of the study was (i) to investigate how Phase II MBBS students feel about e-learning; (ii) to evaluate the impact of this intervention on students; and (iii) to encourage application of this imparted knowledge and skill for rapid, precise, and early diagnosis of the disease. Material and Methods: The research was conducted at the department of microbiology. This was done for the session 2020–2021 of Phase II undergraduate students. All the second professional MBBS were enrolled in the study n = 229 and were better informed about the definition of e-learning. The course material was provided in the form of PowerPoint presentations, questionnaires, and text questions using Google Docs. Students provided feedback in the form of a semi-structured pre-validated set of questions at the conclusion of the week, and the collected data were quantitatively analyzed. There were both closed-ended and open-ended questions in the survey. Results: The results of the feedback questionnaire revealed that the program was of benefit to the students. Nearly 77% of students felt the new teaching and learning method enhanced their grasp of the courses and that the issues presented were important to them. Conclusion: The students responded in a positive way to the new teaching and learning method. It was informative, applicable, and effective to the students. It also increased the level of communication and feedback between teacher and students. To conclude, in the medical program, e-resources may be used to enhance conventional lesson-based instruction.Item Audiovestibular involvement in leprosy.(1990-10-01) Awasthi, S K; Singh, G; Dutta, R K; Pahuja, O P100 leprosy patients were studied for audiovestibular involvement. Conductive hearing loss was detected in 6 cases of BT leprosy, all of them having coincidental chronic middle ear infection. Sensori-neural hearing loss was detected in 10 cases, of which 6 had LL, 2 BT and 2 pure neuritic type of disease respectively. All the cases of lepromatous leprosy having sensorineural hearing loss had evidence of ENL reaction. Vestibular involvement was not detected in any of the cases. Evaluation of audiovestibular function was also carried out in 50 fresh cases of leprosy and after 3 months, 6 months and 1 year of multidrug therapy to ascertain any ototoxic side effects of antileprosy drugs. No audiovestibular dysfunction was detected in these patients at any time during follow-up.Item Ayurvedic heritage of J & K: a review of Sri Ranbira Cikitsa Sudha Sāra.(2001-07-05) Kumar, A; Singh, G; Kumar, NThis work reviews the contents of an Ayurvedic treatise "Sri Ranbira Cikitsa Sudha Sāra" authored by Kaviraj Neel Kanth in the year 1931 of Vikrami, in 'Takari' script, the official script during the reign of his highness Maharaja Ranbir Singh of Jammu and Kashmir.
