    Background: Depression is the major psychotic disorder affecting 9.5% of population worldwide. Present study investigates the prescribing patterns of different antidepressants evaluating their efficacy.Methods: This was a prospective, observational study which was conducted in the out-patient department of Psychiatry and Pharmacology in Gulbarga Institute of Medical Sciences, Kalaburagi. A total of 200 cases were enrolled for the present study. Statistical analysis for efficacy was done using Wilcoxson’s signed rank test.Results: Predominantly, females suffered from depression when compared to male counterparts. In our study, monotherapy was practiced more frequently than polytherapy with 2 or more drugs. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like Escitalopram was found out to be the most widely used antidepressant drug.Conclusions: Among antidepressant medications, SSRIs are preferred over others because of their better side effect profile

    Background: The magnitude of improvement seen with present conventional medicines for anxiety and depression remain disappointing thereby providing a scope for the study of newer drugs. In the literature, there is evidence demonstrating the modulation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)receptors in anxiety and depression. The present study is undertaken to evaluate the antianxiety effect of memantine in elevated plus maze (EPZ) test and its antidepressant effect in tail suspension test (TST)in Swiss albino mice.Methods: Animals were divided into six groups (n=6). First group mice were given normal saline (10 ml/kg), second group were administered lorazepam (0.5 mg/kg), third group with memantine (3 mg/kg) and fourth group with memantine plus lorazepam, fifth group was administered amitriptyline (10 mg/kg)and sixth group received memantine plus amitriptyline. All drugs were administered by intraperitoneal route daily for 7 consecutive days. Results were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc Tukey’s test.Results: Memantine treated mice showed significant increase (p<0.001)in time spent and number of entries in open arm and significant decrease in time spent and number of entries in closed arm in EPZ when compared to control group. Duration of immobility was significantly (p<0.001)reduced in animals treated with memantine when compared to the control group in TST.Conclusions: NMDA antagonist, memantine has showed significant antianxiety effect in EPZ test and antidepressant effect in TST

    ABSTRACT: We study a consolidated system of event; cause and n Qubit register which makes computation with n Qubits. Model extensively dilates upon systemic properties and analyses the systemic behaviour of the equations together with other concomitant properties. Inclusion of event and cause ,we feel enhances the “Quantum ness” of the system holistically and brings out a relevance in the Quantum Computation on par with the classical system, in so far as the analysis is concerned. Additional VARIABLES OF Space Time provide bastion for the quantum space time studies

    Essentially GUT and Vacuum Field are related to Quantum field where Quantum entanglement takes place. Mass energy equivalence and its relationship with Quantum Computing are discussed in various papers by the author. Here we finalize a paper on the relationship of GUT on one hand and space-time, mass-energy, Quantum Gravity and Vacuum field with Quantum Field. In fact, noise, discordant notes also are all related to subjective theory of Quantum Mechanics which is related to Quantum Entanglement and Quantum computing. Key words: Quantum Mechanics, Quantum computing, Quantum entanglement, vacuum energ

    Laws bears ample testimony ,infallible observatory, and impeccable demonstration to the fact that the essential predications, character constitutions, ontological consonances remain unchanged with evolution, despite  the system’s astute truculence, serenading whimsicality,assymetric dispensation or on the other hand  anachronistic dispensation ,eponymous radicality,entropic entrepotishness or the subdued behaviour ,relationally contributive, diverse parametrisizational,conducive reciprocity to environment, unconventional behavior, enuretic nonlinear freneticness ,ensorcelled frenzy, abnormal ebulliations,surcharged fulminations or the inner roil. And that holds well with the evolution with time. We present a model of the generalizational conservation of the theories. A theory of all the theories. That all conservation laws hold and there is no relationship between them is bĂȘte noir. We shall on this premise build a 36 storey model that deliberates on various issues, structural, dependent, thematic and discursive, discursive. Paper throws light on at least six unsolved problems in physics, if not completely solve them, for which we are putting all concerted efforts and protracted endeavors.

    A system of uncertainty of the position of the particle (photon, electron etc.,) is investigated. Very observation affects the quantum mechanical reality, and the nature like a coy bride hides herself. Measurement always disturbs the true nature of ‘nature’ We discuss stability,solutional behaviour, and asymptotic behaviors of the system Keywords: Uncertainty of the position of the photon, Wave pattern, Duality Theory, Double Slit experiment, Superposition, Dark Photon, Annihilating particles

    Einstein Field Equations And Heisenberg’s Principle Of Uncertainly The Consummation Of GTR And Uncertainty Principle

    The Einstein field equations (EFE) or Einstein's equations are a set of 10 equations in Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, which describe the fundamental interaction (e&amp;eb) of gravitation as a result of spacetime being curved by matter and energy. First published by Einstein in 1915 as a tensor equation, the EFE equate spacetime curvature (expressed by the Einstein tensor) with (=) the energy and momentum tensor within that spacetime (expressed by the stress–energy tensor).Both space time curvature tensor and energy and momentum tensor is classified in to various groups based on which objects they are attributed to. It is to be noted that the total amount of energy and mass in the Universe is zero. But as is said in different context, it is like the Bank Credits and Debits, with the individual debits and Credits being conserved, holistically, the conservation and preservation of Debits and Credits occur, and manifest in the form of General Ledger. Transformations of energy also take place individually in the same form and if all such transformations are classified and written as a Transfer Scroll, it should tally with the total, universalistic transformation. This is a very important factor to be borne in mind. Like accounts are classifiable based on rate of interest, balance standing or the age, we can classify the factors and parameters in the Universe, be it age, interaction ability, mass, energy content. Even virtual particles could be classified based on the effects it produces. These aspects are of paramount importance in the study. When we write A+b+5, it means that we are adding A to B or B to A until we reach 5. Similarly, if we write A-B=0, it means we are taking away B from A and there may be time lag until we reach zero. There may also be cases in which instantaneous results are reached, which however do not affect the classification. By means of such a classification we obtain the values of Einstein Tensor and Momentum Energy Tensor, which are in fact the solutions to the Einstein’s Field Equation. Terms “e” and “eb” are used for better comprehension of the lay reader. It has no other attribution or ascription whatsoever in the context of the paper. For the sake of simplicity, we shall take the equality case of Heisenberg’s Principle Of Uncertainty for easy consolidation and consubstantiation process. The “greater than” case can be attended to in a similar manner, with the symbolof”greater than” incorporated in the paper series

    GRAND UNIFIED FIELD THEORY-A PREDATOR PREY APPROACH: CORROBORATION- DISSIPATION MODELS:PART ONE

    Get PDF
    A system of EMF (ELECTROMAGNETIC FOR FIELD) decelerating the dissipation coefficient of GF (GRAVITATIONAL FIELD) and parallel system of GF that contribute to the dissipation of the velocity of production of EMF in an accelerated sense is investigated. It is shown that the time independence of the contributions portrays another system by itself and constitutes the equilibrium solution of the original time independent system. With the methodology reinforced with the explanations, we write, parri passu the governing equations with the nomenclature for the systems in the foregoing, including those of SNF AND WNF system. Further papers extensively draw inferences upon such concatenation process, ipso facto fait accompli. A final Grand Unified Theory is proposed and the   equations are given in the annexure, Which can be solved by the same methodology of the present paper mutatis mutandis. Gravitation is considered the weakest, but at Planck’s length it becomes extremely powerful, so powerful as to punch the holes, We discuss all the aspects of Cosmology and Quantum Mechanics and arrive at a reconciliatory solution after a lengthy discussion which seemed inevitable and necessary to put the theory on terra firma.. The forces of gravity and electromagnetism are familiar in everyday life. Two new forces are introduced when discussing nuclear phenomena: the strong and weak interactions. When two protons encounter each other, they experience all four of the fundamental forces of nature simultaneously. The weak force governs beta decay and neutrino interactions with nuclei. The strong force, which we generally call the nuclear force, is actually the force that binds quarks together to form baryons (3 quarks) and mesons (a quark and an anti-quark). The nucleons of everyday matter, neutrons and protons, consist of the quark combinations uud and udd, respectively. The symbol u represents a single up quark, while the symbol d represents a single down quark. The force that holds nucleons together to form an atomic nucleus can be thought to be a residual interaction between quarks inside each individual nucleon. This is analogous to what happens in a molecule. The electrons in an atom are bound to its nucleus by electromagnetism: when two atoms are relatively near, there is a residual interaction between the electron clouds that can form a covalent bond. The nucleus can thus be thought of as a "strong force molecule.
