Unveiling the qualities of a ‘good doctor’
Findings highlight a need for training programs for healthcare professionals to foster the values inherent to delivery of person-centered care
Relational Solidarity and Conflicting Ethics in Dementia Care in Urban India
There can be relational solidarity in dementia care at home in urban India but also contradictions in the interpretations and applications of the ethical principles of autonomy, equality, dignity, and personhood. As such, a more organic, grassroots model of ethical practice is needed to frame care and provide material support to families in India
Health and socioeconomic resource provision for older people in South Asian countries
BACKGROUND: The global population is ageing rapidly, with low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) undergoing a fast demographic transition. As the number of older adults in LMICs increases, services able to effectively address their physical and mental health needs will be increasingly important. OBJECTIVE: We review the health and socioeconomic resources currently available for older people in South Asian countries, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pa…
Indications for Hospitalization in Children with Sars-CoV-2 Infection during the Omicron Wave in New York City
The emergence of the Omicron variant was accompanied by an acute increase in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in New York City. An increased incidence of COVID-19-associated croup in children during the Omicron wave has been recognized, suggesting that there may be other changes in clinical symptoms and severity. To better understand clinical outcomes and health care utilization in children infected with SARS-CoV-2 during the Omicron wave, we …
Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes Based Telementoring of Physicians for Dementia–Effectiveness in India
The ECHO model appears to have a positive immediate impact on the clinical ability of primary care physicians to diagnose and treat dementia. Its direct impact on patient health and at the community level should be aimed at in future studies
The burden of mental disorders across the states of India
BACKGROUND: Mental disorders are among the leading causes of non-fatal disease burden in India, but a systematic understanding of their prevalence, disease burden, and risk factors is not readily available for each state of India. In this report, we describe the prevalence and disease burden of each mental disorder for the states of India, from 1990 to 2017. METHODS: We used all accessible data from multiple sources to estimate the prevalence of …
The National Mental Health Survey of India (2016)
Background: Recognizing the need for good quality, scientific and reliable information for strengthening mental health policies and programmes, the National Mental Health Survey (NMHS) of India was implemented by National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore, in the year 2015–2016. Aim: To estimate the prevalence, socio-demographic correlates and treatment gap of mental morbidity in a representative population of Indi…
Methodological considerations in designing and implementing the harmonized diagnostic assessment of dementia for longitudinal aging study in India (Lasi-DAD)
The Harmonized Diagnostic Assessment of Dementia for Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI-DAD) is a population-representative, prospective cohort study of late-life cognition and dementia. It is part of an ongoing international research collaboration that aims to measure and understand cognitive impairment and dementia risk by collecting a set of cognitive and neuropsychological assessments and informant reports, referred to as the Harmonized …
Formative research on devising a street play to create awareness about mental illness
BACKGROUND: Poor awareness about mental health and illness is one of the causes for the large treatment gap for all mental disorders across India. MATERIAL: We used both qualitative and quantitative methods in devising a street play to enhance knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about mental illness. DISCUSSION: The formative research enabled the intervention to remain culturally appropriate to the socio-cultural practices of the targeted rural audi…
Nations within a nation
BACKGROUND: 18% of the world's population lives in India, and many states of India have populations similar to those of large countries. Action to effectively improve population health in India requires availability of reliable and comprehensive state-level estimates of disease burden and risk factors over time. Such comprehensive estimates have not been available so far for all major diseases and risk factors. Thus, we aimed to estimate the dise…
Experiences of stigma and discrimination faced by family caregivers of people with schizophrenia in India
Stigma associated with schizophrenia significantly affects family caregivers, yet few studies have examined the nature and determinants of family stigma and its relationship to their knowledge about the condition. This paper describes the experiences and determinants of stigma reported by the primary caregivers of people living with schizophrenia (PLS) in India. The study used mixed methods and was nested in a randomised controlled trial of commu…
Why Do Healthy Older Adults Perform Poorly on Story Recall Based Paradigm
The Investigation of the Evolutionary History of the Omani Population by Analysis of HLA Class I Polymorphism
The HLA polymorphism is a useful way to investigate the relatedness between human ethnic groups. This work aimed to study the relatedness of Omanis with other modern ethnic groups using the HLA class I system polymorphism. The study enrolled 259 healthy and unrelated individuals who were randomly selected from the Omani population. Genotyping of HLA-A and -B loci was carried out by the molecular approach for all subjects. The HLA A and B allele f…

Redefining the Concept of English Bilingualism in Asia
(English) is the language of our intellectual make-up — like Sanskrit or Persian before — but not of our emotional make-up. We are all instinctively bilingual, many of us writing in our own language and in English. We cannot write like the English. We should not. We cannot write only as Indians. We have grown to look at the large world as part of us. Our method of expression therefore has to be a dialect which will someday prove to be distinctive…
Family Pathology and Anorexia in the Indian Context
Frequent associations have been found between family interaction and anorectic behaviour. Family theorists have viewed anorexia as a manifestation of a dysfunctional family system. We report three families of cases of anorexia (one male and two female) where the symptom was a reflection of family pathology and was being maintained by it. The cases emphasize the need to assess families of anorectics in detail and view them in the cultural context …
