ABSTRACT

Introuduction: Suicide has become one of major challenginghealth problem in developing country like India. It is oneof the leading causes of mortality in young adults. There iscomplex interplay of multiple factors influencing the outcomeof suicide. Additionally, there is significant variability inprevalence and pattern of suicide attempts across differentparts of India. Study aimed to assess the sociodemographicand clinical profile of patients attempting suicide.Material and Methods: The study included retrospective filereview of around 150 survivors of suicide attempts registeredover a period of 1 Year (July 2016 to July 2017) at UttarPradesh University of Medical Sciences (UPUMS), Saifai,Etawah. These patients were referred from emergency andmedicine department for psychiatric assessment.Results: Most of the survivors were of female gender(72%), most common mode of attempt was by ingestion ofpesticides (82%), followed by overdose of medications (9%),and followed by hanging (8%). Psychiatric morbidity wasdiagnosed in 70% of the cases. Most common diagnosis wasadjustment disorders and mood disorders.Conclusions: This study reiterated the fact that majorityof suicide attempts were carried out by young females,predominantly by poisoning and overwhelming number ofsuch patients had underlying psychiatric morbidity

ABSTRACT

Effect of salinity (0, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 750 mM NaCl) was observed on some important physiological parameters of nitrogen metabolism such as nitrate uptake, intracellular and extracellular ammonium status and activities of nitrogenase, nitrate reductase, nitrite reductase and glutamine synthetase among Frankia strains differing in their salt tolerance capacity. Nitrogenase activity closely followed the growth pattern with regular decline on NaCl supplementation. All the other enzymes showed optimum activity at 100 mM and declined further. Co-regulation of the nitrate uptake system and sequential enzyme activities plays a crucial role in governing the nitrogen status of strains during salt stress. HsIi10 experiencing minimum decline in enzyme activities and best possible nitrogen regulation under NaCl replete condition showed adequate nutritional management. Among all the strains, HsIi10 proved to be salt tolerant on account of above features while the salt sensitive strain HsIi8 lacked the ability to regulate various steps of nitrogen metabolism during salinity, and thus Frankia strain HsIi10 can potentially serve as a potential biofertilizer in the saline soil.
