Objectives: Opioid dependence leads to reduced quality of life (QOL) and stigma. There is scarcity of literature on impact of buprenorphine on QOL of patients with opioid dependence from India. This study reports QOL and stigma in patients taking buprenorphine and compare it with those who were not on any treatment.
Materials and methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive, comparative study was conducted among three groups (n = 100 each). Group 3 comprised patients who were already taking buprenorphine for at least 3 months from a government outpatient opioid-assisted treatment center. Group 2 comprised patients who were not on any treatment but had come to enrol in buprenorphine treatment and Group 1 comprised patients who had come to get some other treatment and were not willing for buprenorphine. After fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria, sociodemographic pro forma, Hindi self-stigma scale, and World Health Organization QOL-BREF Hindi were applied. Appropriate statistical analyses were done.
Results: Patients already taking buprenorphine had significantly better QOL and it improved as the duration of treatment increased. Patients on buprenorphine treatment had significantly lesser stigma than patients not already on treatment. Stigma negatively impacted QOL in the three groups.
Conclusion: QOL and factors affecting it should be an integral part of management of opioid dependence. Efforts should be made to enrol maximum number of patients in treatment to enhance their quality of life and reduce stigma.

Objectives: There is a strong association between alcohol consumption and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Students are known to consume alcohol at a high rate. Despite the connection between alcohol and TBI, this is one of few studies to examine the connection between students, alcohol, and TBI. The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between students, alcohol, and TBI.
Materials and methods: A retrospective chart review utilizing the institutional trauma data back was performed for patients 18-26 years of age, admitted to the emergency department with a diagnosis of a TBI and positive blood alcohol. Patient diagnosis, injury mechanism, alcohol level on admission, urine drug screen, mortality, injury severity score, and discharge disposition were recorded. The data were analyzed using Wilcoxon rank-sum tests and Chi-square tests to identify differences between students and non-student groups.
Results: Six hundred and thirty-six charts were reviewed for patients aged 18-26 with a positive blood alcohol level and TBI. The sample included 186 students, 209 non-students, and 241 uncertain of status. The student group had significantly higher levels of alcohol than the non-student group (P < 0.0001). P < 0.0001 showed that overall alcohol levels for males are significantly higher than levels of alcohol for females in the student group.
Conclusion: Alcohol consumption contributes to significant injuries such as TBI in college students. Male students had a higher prevalence of TBI, and higher alcohol levels than female students. These results can be used to inform and better target harm reduction and alcohol awareness programs.

Atretic cephaloceles (ACs) are congenital skull defects with herniation of rudimentary intracranial structures through the defect and associated with persistent falcine sinus or embryonic positioning of straight sinus. We describe five cases of ACs, out of which only one had embryonic straight sinus. Three cases had other intracranial malformations such as hypoplasia of corpus callosum, dysplastic tectum in one child and parieto-occipital polymicrogyria with falcotentorial dehiscence in the other, and frontal horn deformity and cortical dysplasia in the third. The prognosis of AC depends on the coexistent intracranial abnormalities and this highlights the role of magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosing the other associated anomalies for prediction of prognosis and planning of necessary surgical management.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to study the demographical, clinical, radiological features, and outcome of anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody spectrum disorder and compare these features with patients negative for anti-MOG antibody. MOG antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) and aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody-related diseases are immunologically distinct pathologies. Our aim was to compare the clinical and radiological features of MOG antibody-related diseases with AQP4 antibody-related diseases and seronegative demyelinating diseases (Non-multiple sclerosis).
Materials and methods: This was a prospective and cohort study conducted at an apex tertiary care institute in the northern part of India from Jan 2019 to May 2021. We compared clinical, laboratory, and radiological findings of patients with MOGAD, AQP4 antibody-related diseases, and seronegative demyelinating disease.
Results: There were a total of 103 patients - 41 patients of MOGAD, 37 patients of AQP4 antibody-related diseases and 25 seronegative demyelinating disease. Bilateral optic neuritis was the most frequent phenotype in patients with MOGAD (18/41) whereas myelitis was the most common phenotype in the AQP4 (30/37) and seronegative groups (13/25). Cortical, juxtacortical lesions, anterior segment optic neuritis, optic sheath enhancement, and conus involvement in myelitis were radiological findings that separated MOGAD from AQP4 related diseases. Nadir Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and visual acuity were similar across the groups. Last follow-up EDSS was significantly better in the MOG antibody group as compared to AQP4 antibody group (1 [0-8] vs. 3.5 [0-8]; P = 0.03). Encephalitis, myelitis, and seizures were more common in the younger population (<18 vs. >18 years) in MOGAD (9 vs. 2, P = 0.001; 9 vs. 7, P = 0.03; 6 vs. 0, P = 0.001).
Conclusion: We identified several clinical and radiological features that can help physicians to distinguish MOGAD from AQP4-immunoglobulin G+neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder. Differentiation is vital as treatment response might vary among both groups.

Objectives: Diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is based on the clinical symptoms and nerve conduction study. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is non-invasive objective tool for assessing the median nerve and carpal tunnel. The purpose of this study was to evaluate MRI changes in patients with CTS, and compare them with healthy subjects.
Materials and methods: Forty-three CTS patients and 43 age matched control were included and scanned in a 3T MRI scanner. Cross-sectional areas (CSA) of median nerve were measured at the level of distal radio-ulnar joint level (CSA1), proximal row of carpal bone (CSA2), and hook of hamate (CSA3). Flattening ratio (FR) of median nerve, thickness of flexor retinaculum, median nerve signal intensity, and thenar muscles were assessed. Fractional anisotropy (FA), average diffusion coefficient (ADC), and radial diffusivity (RD) of median nerve of CTS patients were obtained from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and compared with those of controls.
Results: Thirty-three patients (76.7%) were female. Mean duration of the pain was 7.4 ± 2.6 months. The mean CSA1 (13.2 ± 4.2 mm2), CSA2 (12.5 ± 3.5 mm2), and CSA3 (9.2 ± 1.5 mm2) in CTS patients were significantly higher compared to control group: CSA1 (10.15 ± 1.64 mm2), CSA2 (9.38 ± 1.37 mm2), and CSA3 (8.4 ± 0.9 mm2), (P = 0.001 in all). The mean FR of median nerve and thickness of flexor retinaculum were increased in CTS patients. The mean FA was reduced in CTS patients compared to control proximal to carpal tunnel and within the tunnel. Mean ADC and RD values were higher in CTS patients as compared to control for both levels.
Conclusion: MRI can detect subtle changes in the median nerve and thenar muscles in CTS and may be useful in equivocal cases and to exclude secondary causes of CTS. DTI shows reduced FA and increased ADC and RD in CTS patients.

Objectives: This study aimed to find out the relationship between emotion regulation (ER) and its domains with social responsiveness (SR) to investigate ER and its domains as predictors of SR.
Materials and methods: A sample of 60 male and female adults diagnosed by a professional with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was studied with ER and its domains of RI or Cognitive Reappraisal, SI or Expressive Suppression and SR as variables. Tools used were Social Responsiveness Scale-2 (Adult, Relative/Other online form) and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ).
Results: ERQ domain of Cognitive Reappraisal or RI was found to be negatively correlated with Social Responsiveness or SR but positively correlated with Expressive Suppression or SI domain with Pearson's r value of -0.662 for RI and of 0.275 for SI. Furthermore, RI and SI variables were found to be significantly negatively correlated with each other. Multiple regression analysis results showed R to be 0.666 and predictor variables explained 44.4% of the variance in the data since R square was found to be 0.444. The model was found to be a significant predictor of the variable SR, F (2, 57) = 22.76, P = 0.000.
Conclusion: The present study found that ASD adults with high or good SR engage in less cognitive reappraisal (RI) ER strategy and more in expressive suppression (SI) strategy of ER. Multiple regression analysis results suggest a good and strong relationship suggesting our model is a relatively good predictor of the outcome.
