• Article: Removal of toluene vapour using agro-waste as biofilter media.

  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Biodegradation of toluene vapour was investigated in a laboratory scale biofilter packed with cylindrical pieces of yellow-gram (Cajanus cajan) stalk. Inlet concentrations and volumetric flow rates of toluene were varied from 2.56 to 34.73 g/m3 and 0.18 to 0.24 m3/h, respectively. The steady state was achieved within seven days and the degradation of toluene followed an exponential behaviour with time. Elimination capacity increased and tended towards a constant value but removal efficiency decreased with increase in inlet toluene loading. Depending upon loading rate, the process was either mass transfer or reaction-controlled.

• Article: Value of serum prolactin in differentiating epilepsy from pseudoseizure.

  ABSTRACT: We studied the serum prolactin levels in 35 cases with various types of seizures viz. generalized tonicolonic seizures (GTC), complex partial seizures (CPS), and simple partial seizures (SPS). We also studied 20 cases with pseudoseizure (hysteria) presenting in an epileptiform manner. Twenty two normal healthy subjects were also studied. All the cases were studied both in the postictal and interictal periods. Serum prolactin rose significantly in the postictal periods in patients with GTC and CPS, but patients with SPS or pseudoseizure did not demonstrate this rise. Thus serum prolactin estimation can be of help in differentiating true generalized seizures from pseudoseizure presenting in an epileptiform manner.

  Article: Cognitive dysfunction in depression.

  I Sharma, P Singh, S S Agnihotri
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Thirty patients of primary depression were assessed for their cognitive functions initially in the depressed state and on complete recovery. The results indicate presence of definite cognitive impairment during the depressed state (as measured by the Bhatia's Battery test and PGI memory scale) which is restored to normal after recovery from depression. The intensity of depression as indicated by the Hamilton Rating Scale for depression was directly related to the degree of cognitive impairment.
