The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of meaning centered counselling and psychotherapy (MCCT) for purposively selected 60adults to reduce depressive disorders symptoms or associated anxiety. The adults were assessed pre and post intervention in experimental and control groups, we used the questionnaire Personal Meaning Profile developed by Wong (1998) Beck Depression Inventory-II developed by Beck, Steer, and Brown (1996) and Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale developed by Rosenberg (1965) to evaluate the level of depression and symptoms associated along with the anxiety perspectives, and measures comprehensive self-worth by determining both constructive and adverse feelings about the self respectively. This is the study of sixty adults of Positive Essence Psychology, Thamarassery, Calicut, Kerala. The adults were assessed pre intervention and intervened with meaning centered counselling and psychotherapy (MCCT) for the time span of twelve weeks. The adult's depressive symptoms and self esteem were reassessed alter the period of twelve weeks. The outcome of the study revealed that the adult's experienced significantly less associated depressive disorder symptoms, and elevated in the self esteem. The outcome shows that the meaning centered counselling and psychotherapy (MCCT) techniques are efficient in reducing depressive disorders symptoms or associated anxiety and increase in self esteem.Keywords

Introduction: Regulatory guidelines have been made stringent to safeguard human rights, integrity, safety and welfare.
Aim and Objective: The present study was designed to elucidate the knowledge and practice of current regulatory requirements for the members of ethics committee (EC), amongst dental colleges in India.
Materials and Method: A cross sectional survey was conducted amongst the ethics committee members of various post graduate dental colleges representing North, South, East, West and Central zones. A validated closed questionnaire was framed in accordance with the Schedule Y of Drugs and Cosmetic Rules 1945 and Indian-GCP guidelines, which was sent through an e-survey using Google forms.
Results: The response rate was found to be 40%. Less than 50% participants correctly answered about guidelines of biomedical research, composition of EC, serious adverse effect and vulnerable population. 16.3% of the participants had registered EC and only 28.7% applied universal ethical principles.
Conclusion: Despite the presence of ethics committee in the dental institute, the knowledge and practice regarding current regulatory requirements was found to be insufficient for proper functioning.

Backround: Serious infections due to methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have become a major clinical challenge. Globally Macrolide-lincosamide streptogramin B family of antibiotics are commonly used to treat such infections as an alternative to vancomycin. The study was to conducted to find out the presence of inducible clindamycin resistance among Staphylococcus aureus and their association with methicillin resistance.
Method: The study conducted over one year (Jan 2016 - Dec 2016) in microbiology department of Guru Gobind Singh Medical College, Faridkot. Two hundred fifteen S.aureus isolates were included in the study. Methicillin resistance was detected by cefoxitin (30μg) disc diffusion method and inducible clindamycin resistance by erythromycin and clindamycin disc approximation test (D-Test).
Results: Of the 215 clinical isolates of S. aureus, 140 (65.11%) were MRSA. Erythromycin and clindamycin resistance was seen in 79.06%(170/215) and 49.30% ( 106/215) respectively. Resistance to erythromycin and clindamycin were higher in MRSA than MSSA (erythromycin resistance:100%v s 22.5% and Clindamycin resistance:70.1% vs 10.6%). Both iMLSB and cMLSBphenotypes are predominant in MRSA.
Conclusion: Detection of MRSA in our study shows the need to improve health care practices and to formulate new infection control policies to control MRSA infections. Inducible and constitutive resistance is comparatively higher in our study in MRSA .So It is necessary to perform D-test for detection of inducible clindamycin resistance among MRSA in routine antibiotic sensitivity testing so that therapeutic failures can be avoided.

Over the years we have seen many antibiotics have been developed, each one supposedly better than the previous, but still we have not been able to overcome the persistent problem of antibiotic resistance regardless of the potency of the drug. There is an urgent need to develop new antibiotic strategies to overcome this problem that is different from previous efforts. Hence a method should be focused on the area of inhibition of bacterial evolution for resistance-“evolution proof Antibiotics”.Keywords

Violence against medical professionals at the workplace is not a new phenomenon. In recent times, the reports of doctors getting thrashed by patients or their relatives have made headlines around the world. Almost every doctor has experienced some kind of violence whether physical or verbal at certain stage of their profession. This article aims to discuss the risk factors associated with violence against doctors and the possible steps that are needed to prevent such incidents.Keywords

Background and Objectives: There are many causes of erectile dysfunction (ED) like congenital anomalies, neurological, endocrinal, pharmacological, psychological, pathological or hemodynamic. Penile doppler ultrasound provides real-time evaluation of cavernosal vascular flow dynamics. Purpose of our study was to evaluate and compare the baseline penile ultrasound and color doppler vascular parameters in patients of ED to see if there was any significant difference between patients of psychogenic and vasculogenic ED (diagnosed on post Papaverine injection color doppler) without the use of intracavernosal Papaverine injection. To best of our knowledge such detailed comparison of baseline penile ultrasound and doppler parameters have not been published in literature. Methods: We have prospectively studied 32 patients of ED who underwent ultrasound, and color doppler pre-and post-papaverine intracavernosal injection. Baseline pre papaverine diameters of right and left cavernosal arteries were measured on grey scale ultrasound. Peak systolic velocity (PSV), end diastolic velocity (EDV) and resistive index (RI) of right and left cavernosal arteries were measured on color doppler before and after injecting intracavernosal papaverine injection. Patients were divided into normal study group (psychogenic ED), arterial insufficiency and venous leakage groups (vasculogenic ED) on the basis of post papaverine color doppler findings. Results: Eighteen patients showed normal study, 11 showed arterial insufficiency and 3 patients had venous leakage on post Papaverine injection color doppler. When base line prepapaverine vascular diameters and color doppler parameters were compared statistically, no significant difference was detected between and within these study groups. We have also compared Ed duration and IIEF scores among various study groups and found statistically significant difference between and within the groups. Conclusion: Use of a vasoactive agent like Papaverine with color Doppler is must to diagnose the vasculogenic ED.Keywords
