What is Depression?
(1)Major depressive disorder: Combination of symptoms interfering with person’s ability to work, sleep, study, eat, & enjoy once-pleasurable activities. Disabling & prevents person from functioning normally. Often recurs in persons life.
(2)Dysthymic disorder: Long-term (> 2 years) but less severe symptoms that may not disable a person but can prevent one from functioning normally or feeling well.
(3)Psychotic depression: Severe depressive illness accompanied by some form of psychosis, such as break with reality, hallucinations, & delusions.
(4)Postpartum depression: When new mother develops major depressive episode within one month after delivery. Estimated that 10-15% women with postpartum depression after giving birth.
(5)Seasonal affective disorder (SAD): Depression during winter months, when less natural sunlight, that lifts during spring and summer. Half of these cases do not respond to light therapy alone but responsive to combo antidepressants, light, and psychotherapy.
(6)Bipolar disorder: Aka manic-depression. Cycling mood changes from extreme highs (mania) to extreme lows (depression).

Molecular mechanism underlying Depression: The relationship between serotonin...Adiba shabnam
Depression has a major effect on the hippocampus. Studies have beyond doubt
associated depression with reduced level of serotonin in the brain. It is for this
reason that most of the treatments for depression are directed towards serotonin
concentration enhancement in synaptic clefts. However, only 50% of the patients
receiving the treatment responds and in the responding patients, although the rise in
serotonin level is rapid, the complete evasion of the depressive symptoms takes weeks
to months. However, Ketamine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antag-
onist which leads to activation of -amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic
acid (AMPA) receptors has a fast and sustained antidepressive eect. So, research
towards understanding the mechanism behind depression is now targeting gluta-
matergic system too. Clinical evidence suggests decreased
-aminobutyric acid (GABA) level in plasma, Cerebro Spinal Fluid (CSF) and brain of depressed patients. The proposed hypothesis is that these agents function together to reverse the biochemical changes due to depression. This experiment involves addition of 5-HT 1A agonist (8-OH DPAT) and 5-HT 2A/2C agonist (DOI) to cultured HT-22 cells
and observing changes in m-RNA expression of AMPA receptors (GluR1, GluR2,
GluR3 and GluR4), BDNF and GABAAalpha1 receptors.

Examination of Sexually Dimorphic Behavior on the Novel-Image Novel-Location ...Brian Piper
Objectives: Sex differences in object location memory favoring females appear to be a replicable phenomenon but may also depend on the task demands. This investigation evaluated if females outperformed males at both a short (immediate) and long (half-hour) interval between the learn and test condition using a recently developed version of the Novel-Image Novel-Location (NINL) test (Piper et al. 2011, Physiology & Behavior,
103, 513 - 522). Methods: Young-adults (N = 184) completed a standardized handedness inventory and the NINL. Results: Participants assigned to the Immediate and Delayed conditions did not differ in age, sex, or handedness. The NINL total score was higher among females at the Immediate, but not Delayed, interval. However, within the Delayed condition, females excelled at correctly identifying the unchanged items with a similar pattern for the Novel-Location (NL) scale. Conclusions: These findings are consistent with the view that sexually dimorphic performance favoring females in neurocognitive function can also extend to tasks that have a spatial component.
Drug abuse and society drug presentations: Spring 2013Brian Piper

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Editor's Notes
Other factors: marital status (higher for divorced) and lower income have been less consistently observed.
The term "reticulum" means "netlike structure," which is what the reticular formation resembles at first glance. RF includes raphe and locus coeruleus and projects to thalamus.
Half-life< 3 hours is too short.
A half-life of 15-30 hours is too long (e.g. estazolam or ProSom).
Half-lifes includes half-life of major metabolites and are from Katzung.
Do a search for benzodiazepine addiction in youtube for videos of people ranting about their benzo experience.
Complex automatic behaviors occur in 1-5% of patients.
Rebound insomnia (compared to placebo baseline) does not differ between these agents. Interestingly, this study was funded by the manufacturer of zolpidem (Sanofi-Synthelab).
Adverse reactions from PDR.net include dizziness, somnolence, fatigue, nausea, and exacerbated insomnia.
Excessive stimulants (amphetamine) can go beyond arousal and result in hallucinations.
