Senior Medical Students Attitude Towards Psychiatry : Relationship with Career Interest
John P Alexander, N Kumaraswamy
October-December 1993, 35(4):221-224
PMID
:21743651
Using the Senior Medical Student Questionnaire, the attitudes towards psychiatry and the career interest in psychiatry of 146 final year medical students were obtained. The results indicated that, on the overall merits of the field of psychiatry and role definition and functioning of psychiatrists, students had a favorable opinion. Many students considered that career and personal rewards in psychiatry are limited. Analysis of the relationship between career interest and attitudes showed that on many items students with a greater career interest in psychiatry had more favorable opinions. However, there was evidence to suggest that students with greater career interest in psychiatry were equally concerned about the low career and social rewards in psychiatry.

Physical Morbidity with Unmodified ECT - A Decade of Experience
Prathap Tharyan, PJ Saju, Sunil Datta, Jacob K John, K Kuruvilla
October-December 1993, 35(4):211-214
PMID
:21743648
Recent recommendations for the routine use of modified ECT prompted an audit to be undertaken to determine the incidence of musculoskeletal complications occurring in patients who received ECT at our centre from 1980 to 1990. Of the 13,597 treatments given, 98% were unmodified, due to the lack of availability of anesthetists. Musculoskeletal complications occurred in less than 1% of treatments and were of little clinical significance. However, modified ECT was associated with significantly greater frequency of potentially fatal complications such as cardiac arrest. The findings of this audit indicate that unmodified ECT administered by a trained team does not result in significant musculoskeletal morbidity and may be preferable to modified ECT in the absence of trained anaesthetic personnel. The decision to routinely recommend modified ECT in developing countries should await scientific debate with due consideration of the complications, resources, ethics, practicality and cost as well as the consequences of such a recommendation on clinical practice.

Delusional Parasitosis of Body Orifices - A Cultural Variant?
TN Srinivasan, TR Suresh, Vasantha Jayaram, Peter M Fernandez
October-December 1993, 35(4):218-220
PMID
:21743650
Predominant or specific involvement of the eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth, anus and urethra (the body orifices) has not previously been reported in the literature on delusional parasitosis. Their involvement in the cases reported here is discussed in the context of the Hindu religio-cultural belief system which attaches special significance to these organs in the personal quest for physical, mental and spiritual purity. The involvement of the ears, in particular, appears to be influenced by native healing methods.

They were between 20 and 55 years of age. Obsession and somatic personality traits measured on SIS variables were found to be statistically significant in coronary cases compared to controls. However the subject belief in the philosophy of "Karma " when measured on command hospital questionnaire did not show any difference between the two groups.
