A retrospective chart review of clinical profile of patients utilizing telepsychiatry services during COVID-19 pandemic at a tertiary care centre.

Background: Telepsychiatry as a vehicle for delivering mental health services became evident due to outburst of mental health issues during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and it was found useful in providing mental health care while maintaining social distancing norms and lockdown guidelines.

Aim: To study clinical profile and sociodemographic profile of patients utilizing telepsychiatry services during COVID-19 pandemic.

Materials And Methods: Total 70 old follow-up and 42 new patients were consulted on telepsychiatry, as per Indian Telepsychiatry Operational Guidelines 2020 given by NIMHANS, during 1 and 2 wave of COVID-19 pandemic from June 2020 to May 2021.

Indian Perspective of Burnout Among Plastic Surgeons.

 Over the last decade, the term has become familiar term in all walks of life, particularly medicine. Emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a low sense of personal accomplishment make up the triad. At least a third of plastic surgeons are having burnout according to the western literature.

Marine gregarine genomes reveal the breadth of apicomplexan diversity with a partially conserved glideosome machinery.

Our current view of the evolutionary history, coding and adaptive capacities of Apicomplexa, protozoan parasites of a wide range of metazoan, is currently strongly biased toward species infecting humans, as data on early diverging apicomplexan lineages infecting invertebrates is extremely limited. Here, we characterized the genome of the marine eugregarine Porospora gigantea, intestinal parasite of Lobsters, remarkable for the macroscopic size of its vegetative feeding forms (trophozoites) and its gliding speed, the fastest so far recorded for Apicomplexa. Two highly syntenic genomes named A and B were assembled.

Phage-host coevolution in natural populations.

Coevolution between bacteriophages (phages) and their bacterial hosts occurs through changes in resistance and counter-resistance mechanisms. To assess phage-host evolution in wild populations, we isolated 195 Vibrio crassostreae strains and 243 vibriophages during a 5-month time series from an oyster farm and combined these isolates with existing V. crassostreae and phage isolates.
