The Dream Effect of Waking Thought, Experience, and Illness: A Research Proposal

/in /by

Dream imagery and frequency amongst individuals who are victims of amputation, depression, anxiety, trauma, and many mental disorders, have produced similar content results across the board of many studies. Specifics of other biological and physiological factors that contribute to such content are also examined in the data presented, along with specific case studies that have resulted in self-reported statistics that demonstrate the outcome and impact of waking-day stressors, experiences, and state/trait anxiety on sleeping individuals. Previous data has been collected on dream content recorded amongst amputees, individuals who experienced dreams while undergoing mental disorders, dreams that were supposedly induced with familiar scents, and other outside factors that contributed to the purpose of the study. Further examination of participants is proposed, along with information given on sampling methods, study techniques, and possible outcomes.

Young edible bamboo shoot (Muia in Kokborok-the third Official Language of Tripura, India) of Melocanna baccifera is widely used as a raw food ingredient of different dishes of Tribal of Tripura. Methanolic extract of Melocanna baccifera (MEMB) revealed the presence of different bioactive constituents like alkaloids, fixed oil, flavonoids, triterpinoids, glycosides carbohydrate, protein, and minerals like sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, phosphate. Few pharmacological actions such as analgesic activity, antidiabetic activity and hepatoprotective activity along with antimicrobial activity also exhibited by methanolic extract of Melocanna baccifera. The extract also exhibited CNS depressant activity.

A Proposed Evidence-Based Local Guideline for Definition of Multidrug-Resistant (MDR), Extensively Drug-Resistant (XDR) and Pan Drug-Resistant (PDR) Bacteria by the Microbiology Laboratory

/in /by

Multi-drug resistant organisms (MDROs) are defined as microorganisms, predominantly bacteria, that are resistant to one or more classes of antimicrobial agents. These pathogens are frequently resistant to most available antimicrobial agents and deserve special attention in healthcare facilities. Generally, MDRO infections have clinical manifestations similar to infections caused by susceptible pathogens. Despite of two different classifications by WHO and CDC, still there are debates about update definition of MDROs in medical literature. Here we provide an updated local guideline for definitions of various MDROs by microbiology laboratory
