Much of the initiative for this symposium, held between 6 and 8 January 1985, came from Professor Shridhar Sharma, President of the Indian Psychiatric Society, and the 38th Annual Conference of the Indian Psychiatric Society, at which there was a record number of participants, was held immediately before and in the same place as the Symposium. Many of the psychiatrists who attended the IPS Conference stayed on for the Symposium, where they somewhat outnumbered their foreign colleagues. The premises were the Medical College and Hospital named after Sawai Man Singhji, a Maharaja of Jaipur. The complex is a little way outside a crenellated pink wall surrounding the equally pink and fascinating Jaipur in Rajasthan, North India. The site, enhanced by a large marquee for refreshments, was very pleasant.

<p class="abstract"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Background: </span></strong>Laryngotracheal trauma includes life threatening injuries that are encountered by emergency care physicians, trauma surgeons and ENT surgeons. These injuries can occur in the most remote areas or in the busiest metropolitan setting. Earlier intervention is vital in order to reduce the mortality and morbidity associated with insult to the aerodigestive tract and surrounding structures.</p><p class="abstract"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Methods: </span></strong>This is a retrospective study of 21 patients who presented to the emergency department of Dayanand Medical College and Hospital, Ludhiana, for management of injuries to aerodigestive tract over a period of 3 years from January 2016 to December 2019.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Results: </span></strong>Twenty-one patients were seen with acute injuries to the airway in the emergency department. There were 12 males and 9 female patients out of which there were 10 men and 5 women, 3 girls and 2 boys ranging in age from 9 to 60 years. Although most of these injuries occurred as a result of blunt trauma, 6 were due to penetrating injuries out of which 2 were due to homicidal assault. Stridor was the most common finding followed by surgical emphysema. Twelve patients were in acute respiratory distress requiring emergency procedures to secure the airway. All patients underwent successful repair of the injuries. All patients except 1 had a good airway.</p><p class="abstract"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Conclusions: </span></strong>Laryngotracheal injury is rare but very crucial and life-threatening surgical emergency. Timely intervention is crucial in the management of laryngotracheal trauma in order to prevent complications.</p>

The aim of the present study is to explore the linkages between personality and organization citizenship behavior (OCB) using a field sample. Big-Five personality model was used to explore the relationship between personality and OCB. The participants in the study were 187 doctors working in medical college in north India.  Four of the big five factors except Neuroticism were positively correlated with OCB. Hierarchical regression analysis on data after controlling for demographic variables indicated that, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism were valid predictors for OCB. However, Openness to experience showed no significant relationship with overall measure of OCB. Theoretical and practical implications of the study are discussed. Keywords: Personality, OCB, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism, India

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Benign paraoxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) has been attributed to be one of the commonest causes of vertigo presenting to the clinician. However, this often remains undiagnosed and undertreated, epidemiology remaining an underexplored territory for this disorder.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A study was carried out at outpatient clinic, Ear Nose Throat, Head and Neck services, Dayanand Medical College and Hospital, Punjab over a period of one year from 1<sup>st</sup> January to 31<sup>st</sup> December 2018. Based upon history, detailed otological examination, and Dix-Hallpike testing, 374 patients were evaluated for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo presenting with complaint of vertigo and dizziness in the vertigo clinic and were treated with Epley’s maneuver.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Out of 374 patients evaluated, 79 patients were diagnosed as BPPV and underwent office management in the form of Epley’s maneuver.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> This study helps in effective team approach among practitioners and clinicians in the hospital for referring vertigo cases to ENT OPD for effective management of vertigo.</p><p class="abstract"> </p>
