Relationship Between Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 and Cognitive Functioning in Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorder
The objective of the study was to analyze NCAM-1 levels and its association with various cognitive domains in schizophrenia. One hundred and seventy-six schizophrenia cases and 176 controls were recruited for the study. Serum NCAM-1 levels were analysed in both the groups. Cognitive examination was performed using Addenbrooke cognitive examination-III (ACE-III) and disease severity was assessed using Positive and negative symptoms scale (PANSS). Serum NCAM-1 levels were elevated in schizophrenia cases (p = 0.006) compared to controls. NCAM-1 was positively associated with attention (r = 0.196,p = 0.009), langua...

Serology in COVID: Light the Lantern and Pave the Way to Unexplored …
AbstractInternational Guidelines have voted for PCR as the Gold Standard in COVID diagnosis. Nasoparyngeal swab is the preferred specimen for PCR. It has a high probability of diagnosing early infection. But the diagnostic sensitivity of nasopharyngeal PCR decreases with increase in lapse between the infection and presentation to hospital. This might lead to dire consequences of labelling these patients as false negative, though such patients have been proved to be potentially infective since viral shedding occurs through other body fluids (stools) for long. COVID infection reveals that the IgM antibodies start to appear a...
