To Study the Relationship Between Family Pathology and Depression Proneness Among Adults

Background: In today\u27s busy world, familial neglect due to hectic schedules can lead to alienation among family members, affecting behaviour and mental health. Parents\u27 lack of time for children can result in minimal interaction, triggering parental fear, guilt, and a breakdown in trust, often culminating in family pathology and maladaptive behaviour within interactions. Prolonged family pathology can exacerbate depression among members, contributing to rising depression rates and a noticeable absence of familial bonds. Methods: This study utilized a cross-sectional correlational research design and Random sampling to investigate the link between family pathology and depression proneness among married parents aged 35 to 54 in urban Jaipur, India, belonging to middle and high socio-economic status. Sixty participants (30 males, 30 females) were sampled and assessed using the Family Pathology Scale (FPS) by Dr. Vimala Veeraraghavan and Dr. Archana Dogra (2000), alongside the Depression Proneness Scale (DPS) by Dr. Niranjan Prasad Yadav. Statistical analysis included Pearson product-moment correlation to analyse the relationship between family pathology and depression, and a t-test to examine gender differences in depression proneness. Result: Results indicated a moderate positive correlation (R = 0.5246) between family pathology and depression, suggesting that families with higher levels of pathology are more likely to experience depression. However, the t-test value of -0.5993 with 58 degrees of freedom was not significant at the 0.05 level, indicating no gender discrepancy in depression proneness. Conclusion: This study concludes that early assessment of family pathology can reduce the risk of depression by employing interventions such as family therapy, healthy communication, emotional support, stress management, and seeking professional help from mental health professionals. While there is a positive correlation between family pathology and depression proneness, but there is no gender discrepancy in an individual\u27s susceptibility to depression

Feto-maternal outcome in second versus first stage caesarean delivery in a tertiary medical care centre

 Background: The aim is to study neonatal and maternal outcomes of the caesarean sections performed in first stage versus second stage of labour. Methods: The retrospective analysis of data were done of caesarean section done at Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at ESI PGIMSR Basaidarapur New Delhi between January 2016 to December 2016. 45 women, who underwent second stage caesarean section were studied. For each case, two consecutive cases, who underwent caesarean delivery during the first stage of labour were taken as control for the study. Primary maternal outcomes of interest were uterine atonia, transfusion requirement, urinary system injury and postoperative complications. Results: Out of 4477 deliveries, 1466 had caesarean section with a rate of 32%. The rate of second stage caesarean section was 3% of total caesarean section and 1% of total deliveries. Second stage caesarean section had higher maternal and perinatal morbidity like atonic PPH (33.3%), lower uterine segment extension (7%), febrile morbidity (10%), and need for blood transfusion (15%). There were 15.5% NICU admission in second stage caesarean group while none in first stage group. Conclusions: Caesarean section in the second stage of the labour is associated with increased maternal and neonatal morbidities. Special attention is required to the patients undergoing caesarean section in the second stage of the labour. They should be handled by senior and experienced obstetrician. Neonatologist should be present for every second stage caesarean section

A simple characterization of special matchings in lower Bruhat intervals

We give a simple characterization of special matchings in lower Bruhat intervals (that is, intervals starting from the identity element) of a Coxeter group. As a byproduct, we obtain some results on the action of special matchings.Comment: accepted for publication on Discrete Mathematic

Prevalence and risk factor analysis for post-partum depression in women: a cross-sectional study at tertiary care centre

Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) is non-psychotic depressive episode that occurs between postpartum to fourteen months of childhood. It has adverse effect on mother and child health. Aim of this study was to analyze prevalence and risk factors for postpartum depression at tertiary care centre.Methods: This cross-sectional study was done in obstetrics and gynaecology department where 175 women between 10 days to 1 year of delivery were assessed using Edinberg postpartum depression scale. A score of 10 or more were taken as sign of postpartum depression. Various socio-demographic and obstetrics variables were assessed using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences).Results: Prevalence of PPD was found in 11.4% patients. Common risk factors associated were intrauterine death (IUD) or early neonatal death, postpartum complications and lack of family support.Conclusions: Postpartum is common among postnatal women and is associated with various factors which can be modified. So early detection of associated risk factors is needed for early intervention and prevents its impact on mother and child health.
