    Abstract Background: News media reporting of suicide may influence the masses toward or against suicidal behavior. So, responsible reporting by news media is important to protect vulnerable people from the deleterious effects of media reporting. World Health Organization has issued guidelines for media reporting of suicide in this regard. We planned this research to evaluate the quality of online news media reports of suicide and attempted suicides in India.
    Material and methods: We assessed a total of 210 news reports about suicide and attempted suicides (70 English, 70 Malayalam, and 70 Hindi) to evaluate the reporting of harmful and protective characteristics in news according to the World Health Organization guidelines for reporting suicide in media.
    Results: We found all three language media reported almost all potentially harmful characteristics with gender (100%), location/site of suicide in the headline (97.61%), precipitating life events (95.24%), mentioning term 'Suicide' in the headline (98.10%), monocausal explanation for suicidality (90.95%), suicide method in the headline (90.95%), an accompanying photo (92.38%), and suicide method (93.81%) being reported with highest frequency. Potentially protective characteristics were not included in most news reports with poor focus on awareness information. Vernacular language media were poor as compared to English news media about the quality of reporting suicide.
    Conclusion: We found poor adherence to reporting guidelines by online news media for reporting of suicide with poor coverage of educative and awareness information for the general public. It underlines the need for improving awareness among media professionals about responsible reporting of suicide.

    Abstract Background: Mothers of neonates admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) experience heightened distress, anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms. Despite their prevalence, these conditions are generally neither recognized nor treated due to the constraints of time and concerns about the social acceptability of screening.
    Aim: To study stress, postpartum depression, and anxiety in mothers of neonates admitted to the NICU.
    Materials and methods: One hundred forty consecutive mothers having preterm and low birth weight neonates in the NICU were taken for the study as cases and an equal number of mothers of full-term neonates matched for age and socioeconomic status (SES), were recruited as controls with their informed consent. Subjects were assessed with the Acute Stress Disorder Scale (ASDS), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Symptom Scale (PSS), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS).
    Results: Mothers of preterm neonates in NICU had significantly higher scores on the ASDS, PSS, EPDS, and PASS compared to controls. There was a significant association of ASDS and PSS scores with younger age, higher education, middle SES, joint family, urban residence, unplanned pregnancy, and male child. There was a significant association of the EPDS scores with lower SES, low education, unemployment, and male child. There was a significant association of the PASS scores with younger age, lower SES, and cesarean section.
    Conclusion: Mothers of preterm neonates admitted to the NICU compared to controls have significantly higher levels of stress, anxiety, and depression.

    Abstract Objectives: The objective of this study is to investigate the correlation between the regional gray matter volumes and length of Para Cingulate Sulcus (PCS) with the clinical profile of patients with schizophrenia.
    Materials and methods: In this hospital-based, cross-sectional study, thirty consecutive in-patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and equal number of healthy volunteers matched for age- and sex- were recruited as controls. Detailed clinical assessment and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain were carried out within 2 days for controls and within 2 weeks of hospitalization for patients. The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale and Montreal Cognitive Assessment were applied to schizophrenia patients to assess symptoms and cognitive function, respectively.
    Results: Schizophrenia patients had significant volume deficit in bilateral amygdalae, bilateral superior temporal gyri, anterior cingulate cortex and bilateral hippocampi, along with a highly significant reduction in the length of right PCS. Schizophrenia patients with the duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) of 6-12 months showed a significantly greater volume of the right superior temporal gyrus (STG). First-episode schizophrenia patients had a significant reduction in the length of the left PCS. The volume of bilateral superior temporal gyri in schizophrenia patients showed a significant direct correlation with positive symptoms and an inverse correlation with negative symptoms.
    Conclusion: Schizophrenia patients have significant volume deficit in some brain regions. DUP of 6-12 months is associated with significantly greater volume of the right STG. First-episode schizophrenia patients have a significant reduction in the length of the left PCS. In schizophrenia patients, the volume of bilateral superior temporal gyri showed a significant direct correlation with the positive symptoms and an inverse correlation with the negative symptoms.

    Abstract Noonan syndrome is an autosomal dominant, genetic, multisystem disorder with a prevalence of 1 in 1000-2500 live births. Characteristic features of the condition include distinctive myopathic facial features, hypertelorism, short and broad nose, webbed neck, and low set ears. About 10% of the subjects have auditory defects due to sensorineural hearing loss. The patient also has short stature, chest deformity (superior pectus carinatum and inferior pectus excavatum), widely spaced nipples, and delayed puberty. A rare psychiatric manifestation of somnambulism and somniloquy in a case of Noonan syndrome is reported.

    Abstract Self-injurious behavior (SIB) can be described as an act involving self-inflicted destruction of tissue, right away or over a period of time. Patients with epilepsy have to deal with an often chronic and unpredictable disorder leading to adversity in many psychosocial variables such as employment, stigma, and overall quality of life. The above factors contribute toward SIB in these patients. Behavioral problems occurring in people with epilepsy can range from aggressiveness, mood fluctuations to SIB.

    Abstract Background: Prolonged and excessive use of alcohol can affect the sexual function. The occurrence of sexual dysfunction has adverse psychological and interpersonal consequences.
    Aim: To assess the occurrence and correlates of sexual dysfunction in individuals suffering from alcohol dependence.
    Materials and methods: Seventy male subjects hospitalized in a tertiary care hospital for treatment of alcohol dependence syndrome with simple withdrawal symptoms were included in the study with their informed consent. Their sexual function was evaluated utilizing a 14-item changes in sexual functioning questionnaire.
    Results: According to the findings of the current study, sexual dysfunction is quite prevalent in alcohol-dependent people (75.7%). Erectile dysfunction was the most common disorder, followed by diminished sexual desire and early ejaculation.
    Conclusion: Alcohol-dependence patients have a high prevalence of sexual dysfunctions. In routine clinical practice, this may be overlooked. Clinicians must be made aware of the frequent occurrence of sexual disorders in alcohol dependence patients.
