Item Bacteriology of chronic middle ear otorrhoea in infants and children.(1979-11-01) Gupta, S C; Singh, S R; Pande, R C; Kumar, VItem Biochemical and bacteriological study of urinary calculi.(2000-09-16) Sohshang, H L; Singh, M A; Singh, N G; Singh, S RBiochemical and bacteriological study of urine, nidus and chemical analysis of 100 calculi from 100 patients admitted in the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal from November, 1997 to October 1999 were done. About 47% of the cases had positive urine culture and nidus culture. Escherichia coli was the commonest bacteria isolated both in the urine and nidus of calculi. The commonest radical present in the calculi was calcium while the rarest was uric acid. The stones were composed mainly of calcium oxalate and/or phosphate followed by struvite, then mixed stone.Item Mating activity and fitness of a few wild type strains of Drosophila ananassae.(1999-06-21) Singh, S R; Singh, B NCourtship time, duration of copulation and fertility were tested in six wild type strains of D. ananassae originating from different geographical localities. The results indicate that there is significant variation among the strains tested with respect to courtship time, duration of copulation and fertility. The strains showing a longer duration of copulation produce more progeny. These findings suggest that there is a positive correlation between duration of copulation and fertility in D. ananassae.Item Risk behaviour in an urban and a rural male adolescent population.(1999-05-24) Kishore, J; Singh, A; Grewal, I; Singh, S R; Roy, KBACKGROUND: There is an increasing trend of risk behaviour in adolescents worldwide but very little literature is available in India on this important subject. We surveyed an urban male adolescent population and a comparable rural population to determine the difference in their risk behaviour. METHODS: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted among 199 and 152 male adolescents from an urban village of south Delhi and a rural village in Uttar Pradesh. A pretested semi-structured interview schedule with 36 items was applied on all subjects by trained interviewers. RESULTS: Consuming alcohol, smoking, pre-marital sexual intercourse and consuming bhang (cannabis) were present in 32.2%, 25.1%, 12.5% and 11.5% of the urban village adolescents and in 1.3%, 48.7%, 11.2%, and 16.5% of those residing in the rural village, respectively. About 66.8% of urban and 51.3% of rural adolescents had indulged in physical fights and 12.5% of urban and 6.6% of rural adolescents were in possession of assault weapons such as iron rods, chains or knives sometime in the 30 days prior to the interview. CONCLUSION: The results of our study indicate that there is a high prevalence of risk behaviour in both urban and rural adolescents. However, except for smoking which was more common amongst rural adolescents all the other risk behaviours were more in those residing in urban areas. The reasons for this need to be ascertained, taking the geographical and socio-cultural factors into account, prior to considering the introduction of behaviour modification programmes.Item A sociomedical study of deafmutes.(1973-02-01) Singh, G; Singh, S R; Indrayan, A; Bagchi, S C
