8; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.09-15.91), motor response score of Glasgow coma scale less then 6 (HR = 75.5; 95% CI 4.15-1,369.4), and biopsy (HR = 0.45; 95% CI 0.21-0.92). To predict 1-year mortality, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, accuracy, and area under the curve our nomogram was 1.0, 0.50, 0.45, 1.0, 0.64, and 0.75, respectively. Gefitinib price Conclusions This study provided a nomogram predicting prognosis of DA. The nomogram showed an acceptable performance for predicting 1-year mortality.Objective  Approximately 9 out of 10 individuals show right-hand dominance. The remaining 10% include left-hand dominant and mixed handed/ambidextrous individuals. Laterality, lateral postures or lateral preference is defined by various authors as the most comfortable posture that an individual prefers to assume. The current study aims at finding the distribution of these lateral postures and their correlation with handedness/dominant side. Materials and Methods  The study was done in medical and nursing students in the age group 18 to 22 years. The patients were asked to fill a self-assessment questionnaire to determine handedness and footedness. The laterality traits were observed by asking the patients to do by themselves after an untailored demonstration. Statistical Analysis  The relationship between study parameters was assessed using Chi-square test. Pearson's correlation test was done to assess the strength of association between comfort ratings of the various laterality postures. Results  In our study, 96.5% were right handed and 79.9% of patients were right footed. Also, 50.8% preferred right-hand clasping, 53.9% preferred left-arm folding, and 60.6% preferred right-leg folding. A statistically significant correlation was seen between foot preference and lateral postures and arm folding and hand clasping (p less then 0.05). A significant association was also found between handedness and positive history of retraining. Sidedness did not follow any Mendelian pattern of inheritance. Conclusions  Handedness is affected by genetic and environmental factors. Since cultural and traditional practices can affect the lateral postures and handedness, it is important to know the relationship between laterality postures and sidedness and the impact of retraining on them. These postures are measures of cerebral dominance and are clinically important.Objectives  Prevalence of health anxiety is highly varied based on different settings and samples studied. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of health anxiety among outpatients attending neurology and psychiatry outpatient setting in tertiary care hospital and understand the clinical correlates. Participants and Methods  This was a cross-sectional study conducted in the outpatient settings including participants fulfilling study criteria. The assessments included semi-structured proforma for demographic and clinical details, general hypochondriasis subscale of Illness Behavior Questionnaire, and Short Health Anxiety Inventory. Data were collected in Epi-info and data analysis was done using STATA12. Results  The health anxiety was reported to be 25% and 19% among psychiatry and neurology outpatients, respectively. Higher education level positively correlated with health anxiety. Skilled workers tend to have higher health anxiety than semiskilled workers. Patients with diagnosis of somatoform disorder and multiple diagnosis scored higher on health anxiety in both the settings. Conclusion  Health anxiety appears to be common in psychiatry and neurology settings and needs further evaluation to understand its impact on consultation and health resource usages.Background  Epilepsy, although a common disorder, yet is highly stigmatized. Under this condition, children with epilepsy are more vulnerable to stigmatization, social isolation, lack of support, and psychological and emotional problems. Thus, there is an immediate need of literature focusing on intervention studies to change the attitudes of school teachers and children. Methods  The study was conducted with the objectives to evaluate knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) about epilepsy among school teachers and children; provide educational training program to teachers; and check the efficacy of training program imparted by teacher and trainer. Results  Repeated measure of analysis of variance shows that knowledge ( F = 1,134.875, p less then 0.001), attitude ( F = 2,429.909, p less then 0.001), and practice ( F = 2,205.122, p less then 0.001) are significantly different between pre- and posttests indicated by Pillai's trace test. Similarly, from the Pillai's test, knowledge ( F = 49.317, p less then 0.001), attitude ( F = 125.304, p less then 0.001), and practice ( F = 178.697, p less then 0.001) are significantly different among teachers, trainer imparting training to children, and teachers imparting training to children. It is seen that KAP scores significantly differ between two time points and across the three groups. Among all the groups, teachers imparting training to children had high level of practice. Conclusion  Inclusion of health education programs in the textbooks and health education schemes for teachers and school children are crucial ways to bring a change in their attitude, behavior, and practices toward epilepsy.Background  Chronic hydrocephalus caused by subarachnoid hemorrhage is a reversible and treatable condition. To date, existing clinical scores for predicting the development of posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus are few and difficult to apply in the clinical settings. Chronic hydrocephalus ensuing subarachnoid hemorrhage score (CHESS) was first published in 2016. Although it showed promising results, no external validation has been done outside Europe. We designed this study to validate the accuracy and reliability of CHESS score and to also look for other factors that may cause posthemorrhagic shunt dependent hydrocephalus. Objectives  This study is to determine the reliability of CHESS score and to look for other parameters with predictive value in patients with shunt-dependent posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus. Results  Thirty-one percent of the studied population developed shunt-dependent hydrocephalus ( n = 41). CHESS score showed an odds ratio (OR) of 2.184 with p -value 3 (OR = 1.986; p -value = 0.047). The sensitivity and specificity for CHESS score in this cohort population showed a sensitivity of 73.
