Level of patient satisfaction with online psychiatric outdoor services.

Background: The COVID-19 global pandemic exposed gaps in the treatment of common physical and mental disorders that had to do with things like lockdowns, poor convenience, fear of contracting COVID, and economic constraints. Hence, to address these treatment gaps while also limiting exposure to the COVID-19 infection, telemedicine in the form of telephone and internet consultations has increasingly become the recourse around the world. Our center adopted this trend and also launched a telepsychiatry initiative in order to better cater to the needs of patients with pre-existing mental health disorders and to ensure regular follow-ups and compliance with prescription regiments.

Obsessive belief and emotional appraisal correlates of symptom dimensions and impairment in obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Background: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a heterogeneous and debilitating illness. Symptom dimensions of OCD lend homogeneous avenues for research. Variations in one's appraisal of thoughts and emotions can influence symptom dimensions and impairment.

In silico validation and structure activity relationship study of a series of pyridine-3-carbohydrazide derivatives as potential anticonvulsants in generalized and partial seizures.

A series of twelve compounds (Compounds RNH1-RNH12) of acid hydrazones of pyridine-3-carbohydrazide or nicotinic acid hydrazide was synthesized and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity by MES, scPTZ, minimal clonic seizure and corneal kindling seizure test. Neurotoxicity was also determined for these compounds by rotarod test. Results showed that halogen substitution at meta and para position of phenyl ring exhibited better protection than ortho substitution.

Study of Convolvulus pluricaulis for antioxidant and anticonvulsant activity.

Convolvulus pluricaulis Choisy is a perennial wild herb commonly found on sandy & rocky areas under xerophytic conditions in northern India. It is a reputed drug of ayurveda and reported to posses antioxidant, brain tonic, nervine tonic, laxative and has been used in anxiety, neurosis, epilepsy, insomnia, burning sensation, oedema and urinary disorders. In the present study, methanolic extract of whole plant of Convolvulus pluricaulis Choisy was evaluated for antioxidant activity by using 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl- hydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging model and anticonvulsant activity by using maximal electroshock seizure model.

Synthesis and screening of substituted thiosemicarbazone derivatives: an approach towards novel anticonvulsant search.

A series of thiosemicarbazones of halogen substituted benzaldehydes, benzophenone and acetophenone were synthesized using an appropriate synthetic route and characterized by thin layer chromatography and spectral analysis. The anticonvulsant activity of synthesized compounds was established in three seizures models which includes maximal electroshock (MES), subcutaneous pentylene tetrazole (scPTZ) induced seizures and minimal neurotoxicity test. Five compounds out of 21 exhibited protection in MES test while only one compound showed protection in scPTZ screen.

Menthone aryl acid hydrazones: a new class of anticonvulsants.

A series of ten compounds (Compounds J(1)-J(10)) of (±) 3-menthone aryl acid hydrazone was synthesized and characterized by thin layer chromatography and spectral analysis. Synthesized compounds were evaluated for anticonvulsant activity after intraperitoneal (i.p) administration to mice by maximal electroshock (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) induced seizure method and minimal clonic seizure test.

Menthone semicarbazides and thiosemicarbazides as anticonvulsant agents.

A series of novel (+/-) 3-menthone semi carbazides (1-7) and thiosemicarbazides synthesized using an appropriate synthetic route and characterized by thin layer chromatography and spectral analysis. The anticonvulsant activity of synthesized compounds was established after intraperitoneal administration in three seizure models in mice which include maximal electroshock seizure (MES), subcutaneous pentylene tetrazole (scPTZ) induced seizure and minimal neurotoxicity test. Seven compounds exhibited protection in both models and N(1) - (4-fluorophenyl) - N(4)- (menth-3-one) semicarbazide (4) emerged as the most active compound with MES ED(50) of 44.
