Heart is a muscular pump, made up of specialized muscles. The right half of the heart receives impure (deoxygenated) blood from the body and pumps it into the lungs. The left half of the heart receives pure (oxygenated) blood and pumps it to the rest of the body. The left half of the heart is stronger and thicker.
In order to function, the heart needs nourishment. The nourishment comes to the heart via blood which is supplied to the heart through two major coronary arteries : left and right coronary arteries. The left coronary artery again divides into two major branches (left anterior descending and left circumflex arteries), from which several smaller branches arise and supply the heart. Thus, there are three major arteries : left anterior descending artery, left circumflex artery and right coronary artery.
Principle :In CABG, a new route of blood flow is created by using a piece of blood vessel (graft). One end of the graft is attached to the aorta or one of its branches and the other end of the graft is attached to the diseased coronary artery beyond the blockage. Thus, the obstruction is bypassed.
Types of Graft :The graft may be an artery or a vein. Arterial grafts are considered superior as these remain patent for a longer period. Commonly used arterial grafts are :
Among the vein grafts, long saphenous vein is used most frequently. It is obtainedfrom leg and thigh of the patient. Selection of the grafts is based upon the nature of blockage, condition of coronary arteries and function of the heart.
Approaches and techniques :The traditional the and commonly used technique involves an incision down the front of the chest through the breastbone or sternum. This incision is called a “median sternotomy”. Sometimes a smaller incision is used on the left side of the chest. This technique is referred to as “Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass” or MICAB. In MICAB, it is expected that patient will have less pain and faster recovery. Most commonly, the patient is attached to the heart lung machine and the heart is stopped during CABG. In selected cases, the heart lung machine is not used and CABG is performed on a beating heart
Risks and complications:Though CABG is a safe operation, about 5% patients develop some form of complications. It is a major operation and depending upon the condition of the patient, there is a small but definite risk to the life. Other potential complications of CABG include bleeding or infection, stroke (which is primarily related to age and history of previous stroke), kidney failure (related in large measure to the kidney function before the surgery), and heart attack during or after the surgery. The risk of complications generally depends upon age, general health, smoking history, specific medical conditions, and most importantly, the heart function.
The outcome of surgery and long term success:The operation abolishes angina in almost all patients and minimizes the risk of future heart attacks. However, some patients may have residual angina even after CABG, but it is of lesser severity. CABG is also known to prolong the expected survival (life-span) in a specific subgroups of patients. One should understand clearly that CABG does not abolish or retard the process of coronary artery disease. It only provides a remedy for the harmful effects of the disease. Thus, it is possible that a patient may develop symptoms again, either due to progression of coronary artery disease or due to involvement of the grafts in the disease process. Vein grafts are particularly susceptible for involvement in the disease process and about 50% of the vein grafts may be blocked by 10 years.
CABG is not the permanent cure of your coronary artery disease. It is a palliative procedure and your coronary arteries and grafts may get involved in the disease in future as a result of progression of atherosclerotic process. This progression can not be entirely prevented, but with careful lifestyle and proper drug therapy, the rate of atherosclerotic progression can be slowed down. Thus, after surgery, it is important to follow the suggested guidelines. There are several risk factors which you can modify and thus reduce the risk of recurrence of the problem.
Smoking: Quit smoking. It not only damages your lungs and causes cancer, it also accelerates the process of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. Smoking increases the risk of graft blockade, subsequent myocardial infarction and death.
Sedentary life style and lack of exercise: Change your life style. Physical exercises play a great role in your life. Perform regular exercises. For elderly people, brisk walking is the ideal exercise. You can perform light ‘Yoga’ under supervision. Exercise reduces ‘fat levels, in the blood and also increases circulation to heart muscles and other parts of body.
Diet : Diet rich in fats and carbohydrates may contribute to obesity, high fat levels in blood and thus to development of coronary artery disease. Consume low calorie, fat free diet which is rich in minerals, vitamins, proteins and antioxidants. Antioxidants are substances which reduce progression of atherosclerosis. Fresh fruits, green vegetables and sprouted seeds are important sources of antioxidants. You are advised to use a cooking medium that contains Rice bran oil (Sundrop Heart). You mau avoid salt if you have high blood pressure and sweets if you have diabetes.
High fat levels in blood: Increased level of cholesterol predisposes to development of atherosclerosis. A balanced diet and regular physical exercise are required to keep cholesterol level under control. However, sometimes drugs are also required to keep the cholesterol level in check.
Diabetes mellitus: Diabetics is an important predisposing factor in development of coronary artery disease. Thus, proper management of diabetes is essential. Regular physical exercise and dietary regulation help in great way to control the diabetes. Follow your doctor’s advice for diabetes control and maintain regular check-up.
Hypertension : Proper control of hypertension is essential to retard the progression of coronary artery disease. Decreased intake of salt, weight reduction and avoidance of stressful life also helps in control of high blood pressure. Regular and closely monitored drug therapy is essential for the management of hypertension.
Stress: Stress is an important risk factor. Change your life style. Stress reducing exercises and meditation help in reducing the stress.
Thus to sum up:
You have been unfortunate to have this disease, but this is not an end of life. With your experience and knowledge, you can save your friends and relatives from the clutches of this disease. Tell them about your sufferings and also tell them the ways of prevention Encourage them to adopt an healthy, stress-free life style. Campaign against smoking and introduce the people to the hazards of smoking. Make the people understand that the prevention is always better than the cure, and also that there is no real cure.

CABG is not the permanent cure of your coronary artery disease. It is a palliative procedure and your coronary arteries and grafts may get involved in the disease in future as a result of progression of atherosclerotic process. This progression can not be entirely prevented, but with careful lifestyle and proper drug therapy, the rate of atherosclerotic progression can be slowed down. Thus, after surgery, it is important to follow the suggested guidelines. There are several risk factors which you can modify and thus reduce the risk of recurrence of the problem.
Smoking: Quit smoking. It not only damages your lungs and causes cancer, it also accelerates the process of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. Smoking increases the risk of graft blockade, subsequent myocardial infarction and death.
Sedentary life style and lack of exercise: Change your life style. Physical exercises play a great role in your life. Perform regular exercises. For elderly people, brisk walking is the ideal exercise. You can perform light ‘Yoga’ under supervision. Exercise reduces ‘fat levels, in the blood and also increases circulation to heart muscles and other parts of body.
Diet : Diet rich in fats and carbohydrates may contribute to obesity, high fat levels in blood and thus to development of coronary artery disease. Consume low calorie, fat free diet which is rich in minerals, vitamins, proteins and antioxidants. Antioxidants are substances which reduce progression of atherosclerosis. Fresh fruits, green vegetables and sprouted seeds are important sources of antioxidants. You are advised to use a cooking medium that contains Rice bran oil (Sundrop Heart). You mau avoid salt if you have high blood pressure and sweets if you have diabetes.
High fat levels in blood: Increased level of cholesterol predisposes to development of atherosclerosis. A balanced diet and regular physical exercise are required to keep cholesterol level under control. However, sometimes drugs are also required to keep the cholesterol level in check.
Diabetes mellitus: Diabetics is an important predisposing factor in development of coronary artery disease. Thus, proper management of diabetes is essential. Regular physical exercise and dietary regulation help in great way to control the diabetes. Follow your doctor’s advice for diabetes control and maintain regular check-up.
Hypertension : Proper control of hypertension is essential to retard the progression of coronary artery disease. Decreased intake of salt, weight reduction and avoidance of stressful life also helps in control of high blood pressure. Regular and closely monitored drug therapy is essential for the management of hypertension.
Stress: Stress is an important risk factor. Change your life style. Stress reducing exercises and meditation help in reducing the stress.
Thus to sum up:
Principle :In CABG, a new route of blood flow is created by using a piece of blood vessel (graft). One end of the graft is attached to the aorta or one of its branches and the other end of the graft is attached to the diseased coronary artery beyond the blockage. Thus, the obstruction is bypassed.
Types of Graft :The graft may be an artery or a vein. Arterial grafts are considered superior as these remain patent for a longer period. Commonly used arterial grafts are :
Among the vein grafts, long saphenous vein is used most frequently. It is obtainedfrom leg and thigh of the patient. Selection of the grafts is based upon the nature of blockage, condition of coronary arteries and function of the heart.
Approaches and techniques :The traditional the and commonly used technique involves an incision down the front of the chest through the breastbone or sternum. This incision is called a “median sternotomy”. Sometimes a smaller incision is used on the left side of the chest. This technique is referred to as “Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass” or MICAB. In MICAB, it is expected that patient will have less pain and faster recovery. Most commonly, the patient is attached to the heart lung machine and the heart is stopped during CABG. In selected cases, the heart lung machine is not used and CABG is performed on a beating heart
Risks and complications:Though CABG is a safe operation, about 5% patients develop some form of complications. It is a major operation and depending upon the condition of the patient, there is a small but definite risk to the life. Other potential complications of CABG include bleeding or infection, stroke (which is primarily related to age and history of previous stroke), kidney failure (related in large measure to the kidney function before the surgery), and heart attack during or after the surgery. The risk of complications generally depends upon age, general health, smoking history, specific medical conditions, and most importantly, the heart function.
The outcome of surgery and long term success:The operation abolishes angina in almost all patients and minimizes the risk of future heart attacks. However, some patients may have residual angina even after CABG, but it is of lesser severity. CABG is also known to prolong the expected survival (life-span) in a specific subgroups of patients. One should understand clearly that CABG does not abolish or retard the process of coronary artery disease. It only provides a remedy for the harmful effects of the disease. Thus, it is possible that a patient may develop symptoms again, either due to progression of coronary artery disease or due to involvement of the grafts in the disease process. Vein grafts are particularly susceptible for involvement in the disease process and about 50% of the vein grafts may be blocked by 10 years.
Heart is a muscular pump, made up of specialized muscles. The right half of the heart receives impure (deoxygenated) blood from the body and pumps it into the lungs. The left half of the heart receives pure (oxygenated) blood and pumps it to the rest of the body. The left half of the heart is stronger and thicker.
In order to function, the heart needs nourishment. The nourishment comes to the heart via blood which is supplied to the heart through two major coronary arteries : left and right coronary arteries. The left coronary artery again divides into two major branches (left anterior descending and left circumflex arteries), from which several smaller branches arise and supply the heart. Thus, there are three major arteries : left anterior descending artery, left circumflex artery and right coronary artery.
Oral anticoagulants (Acitrom) is prescribed to prevent blood clot formation on and around the mechanical valve. This drug must be taken carefully and under supervision. If the level of drug is not enough. Blood clot may form on the valve and can clog the valve or can produce a stroke. Excess level of this drug can cause bleeding, both externally and internally.
Your doctor will determine the level of anticoagulant that is right for you. To maintain proper levels of anticoagulation, take your medication as prescribed and follow up with blood tests as scheduled. The dosage will be closely monitored by blood tests. The blood tests include a PT or INR.
Some important points of anticoagulant therapy are:
In cases of young female patients, if pregnancy is anticipated in future, it should be discussed with the cardiac surgeon, even before surgery. If pregnancy is anticipated, valve repair, bioprosthesis, homografts or autografts are preferred options because use of oral anticoagulants during pregnancy may cause neurological or skeletal/facial abnormalities in the fetus. Also it may increase the chances of fetal loss and bleeding at the time of child birth.
Inform your doctor urgently, if you develop any of the following:
Anticoagulation related bleeding

Make regular visits to your doctor. It is essential for proper regulation of your medicines.
Proper dental hygiene is very important. Infection from teeth may involve your valve.
Treat all minor infections vigorously. Consult the local doctor for skin infections, respiratory tract, urinary tract or similar infections.
Avoid hazardous life-style. Your wounds will bleed excessively. In case of minor cuts or abrasion, prolong pressure is required to stop the bleeding.
Take medicines carefully. ‘Do not practice self medication’ Do not take drugs, especially pain killers without the advice of a doctor. In case of an ailment, inform the doctor that you are taking oral anticoagulants.
For all minor surgical procedures, you need hospitalization and switching over from oral anticoagulants to heparin. All such minor procedures should be performed under antibiotic cover.
All patients who have rheumatic heart disease, require Penicillin therapy till the age of 45 years. Always receive penicillin injection with disposable syringe and needle. In case of allergy to penicillins, inform your doctor.
Carry an identify card with you which, in case of emergency, may inform the hospital personnel that you have undergone a valve replacement and that you are receiving oral anticoagulants.
Stop smoking. Alcohol may affect the level of anticoagulation, better avoid it.
Avoid diet which is rich in Vitamin K. (spinach (palak), cabbage(Patta Gobhi), lettuce, broccoli(Green-Gobhi), cauliflower(Phool-Gobhi), tomatoes(Tamatar), carrots(Gajar), butter(Makhan), olive(Jaitun ) or corn oil and eggs(Anda)).

The heart acts as a pump. It is divided in to a right and left portion. The right portion receives blood (which is impure) from the body and pumps the same to the lungs for purification (oxygenation). The impure blood enters the heart from two large veins called the superior and inferior vena cava. The blood from these veins enters the right upper chamber known as the Right Atrium. This chamber also receives impure blood from the heart veins through the coronary sinus. The right atrium pumps this blood into the Right Ventricle or the right lower chamber through the Tricuspid Valve. The tricuspid valve prevents blood from flowing from the right ventricle to the right atrium. The right ventricle pumps blood into the Pulmonary Artery. The Pulmonary Valve prevents blood from leaking back into the right ventricle. The pulmonary artery carries impure blood to the right and left lungs. The left half of the heart collects and pumps pure (oxygenated) blood from the lungs to all parts of the body. The blood from the lungs enters the heart from four veins called the Pulmonary Veins. These veins bring the blood into the left upper chamber called the Left Atrium. The left atrium pumps blood through the Mitral Valve into the left ventricle or left lower chamber.
The mitral valve prevents blood from leaking back from the left ventricle to the left atrium. The left ventricle pumps the blood into the Aorta, which circulates to all parts of the body. The Aortic Valve prevents blood from leaking back into the left ventricle. The four valves in the heart are the Mitral and Aortic valves on the left side and Tricuspid and Pulmonary valves on the right side.

This is applicable if the allotment is either in the name of the husband or the wife. Please check for further details with the Finance / Accounts Section regarding the rules and regulations. Note: It is a serious offence if you do not disclose your marital status and the office of employment of your spouse during your tenure in the institution.
Please check for further details with the Finance / Accounts Section regarding the rules and regulations. Note: It is a serious offence if you do not disclose your marital status and the office of employment of your spouse during your tenure in the institution.
In case both the husband and wife are government employees (including one or both being Junior / Senior Residents of AIIMS) and do not reside in any government accommodation (including AIIMS hostels) then both are eligible to draw house rent allowance. This is not applicable if either one has a government accommodation. In other cases the appropriate rules shall apply. Please check for further details with the Finance / Accounts Section regarding the rules and regulations.
A certificate is given on request to those Resident Doctors who do not stay in the hostels so that this is submitted to the Accounts Section for payment of House Rent Allowance (HRA). It is mandatory to submit this certificate.
Ragging in any form is strictly prohibited anywhere within the institutional campus including the hostels. Individual or collective ragging constitutes gross indiscipline and will be dealt with severely with punitive measures that includes rustication.
Ragging shall ordinarily mean any act or conduct by an individual or group of individuals by which the dominant status or power of senior students is brought to bear upon the students who are in any way considered to be junior or inferior to them. Some acts that are included in this definition are:
No junior student should be taken into the room of a senior student or found in the room of a senior student till the ‘freshers’ welcome party is over. In case this is reported or found it shall be considered as ‘ragging’ unless otherwise proven.
An Anti-Ragging Committee is constituted every year for the purpose of surveillance, to ensure that acts of ragging do not occur and look into specific instances of ‘ragging’. Students are requested to bring all acts of ragging to the notice of the committee or authorities concerned. This will help in making new students comfortable and allow them to settle into an entirely new atmosphere. Many of the undergraduates leave the secure precincts of their home for the first time and the seniors are expected to realize this and conduct themselves accordingly.
Yes, a music system or a television set may be kept in the married room provided this does not exceed the sanctioned electrical load and does not in any way disturb fellow-hostellers. All hostels have facilities for cable connection at predetermined fixed-rates. Further there are TV Rooms where one may watch television programmes.
Yes you may keep a computer in your room.
No, installation of air-conditioners and similar electrical gadgets are strictly prohibited. These gadgets draw power far in excess of the sanctioned load and are not only illegal but also jeopardize the power supply of the campus and pose a serious fire-hazard.
According to current rules you are permitted to stay in the hostels for a maximum period of ten days after you have completed your tenure / examinations / course as scheduled in the academic calendar or as appointed. Ph.D. Scholars are permitted to stay for a maximum period of five years / thesis submission whichever is earlier. Resignations, discontinuations, termination of service and rustication shall be considered as completion of tenure / course.
The schedules in AIIMS are followed strictly and every Student / Resident Doctor / Ph.D. Scholar is aware of the probable date of completion (as defined above) literally at the time of joining. The Hostel Office is not obliged to intimate students of this date. This is the responsibility of every hosteller. Any delay in vacation of the room shall constitute a violation of hostel rules and invite appropriate penalty. All hostellers are therefore required to plan their departure accordingly. This would help in accommodating new batch of hostellers, many of whom come from different parts of the country and overseas and do not have relatives, friends or place to stay in Delhi.
Hostellers are not encouraged to change their allotted room. In exceptional circumstances the room can be changed on written request to the Hostel Superintendent giving the reasons for this request.
The mutual exchange is provided in the same type or at par hostel accommodation only once in the entire tenure subject to the following condition:-
For fresh offer - 7 working days (excluding Sunday and Gazetted Holiday), For fresh allotment - 10 working days (excluding Sunday and Gazetted Holiday), For change offer - 3 working days (excluding Sunday and Gazetted Holiday) and For change allotment - 7 working days (excluding Sunday and Gazetted Holiday).The allotment letter is provided to every hosteller through the Head of the Department. He / she have to contact the Hostel Office and intimate whether he / she is interested in the accommodation. In case he / she does not contact the office it is presumed that the person is not interested and has refused the allotment and he / she will be debarred from the waiting list for 6 months.
If you do not shift into the allotted room, the person next in the priority list is offered the room. You are then debarred for a period of six month from further allotment.
Hostellers are discouraged from overstaying. Strict action is taken against defaulters. However if there is a dire need then an written application is to be submitted to the Superintendent of Hostels, duly forwarded and recommended by the Head of the Department citing the reasons for extending the stay. Each case is evaluated on individual merit and decided accordingly. In general, extensions are extraordinary and refusals are to be expected.
Exceeding the period of stay is a serious offence. In case the hostel is not vacated, ‘no dues’ certificate is not issued. Without this certificate the last pay and benefits are withheld and the degree certificate is not released. Further penal rent is imposed. The room may be double-locked and necessary eviction proceedings are instituted.
Visitors are permitted in the hostels. However visitors are to make the necessary entries in the registers. Hostellers are not encouraged to take visitors into their rooms.
Proof of Residence Certificate is issued on the basis of an application in the form available in the Hostel Website. The application is to be forwarded through the Head of the Department or the Registrar (in the case of undergraduate students). The reason for which this certificate is required must be clearly indicated. Normally it takes one weekto issue this certificate.
You may choose one or several options available. There are cooperative messes run by hostellers for which the membership is limited. In addition there are contractor run messes where boarding charges may be paid monthly or for each meal. In addition there are Cafes that serve dishes that are to be ordered and paid for every time. You should check and discover what suits you best. Your seniors would guide you. A list of the messes and Cafes are available with the Hostel Office.
It is mandatory for every commercial establishment in the Hostels to maintain and produce on demand a Complaint Book. These complaints are checked periodically and fine imposed or appropriate action taken after verification. In case the Complaint Book is not available or you are not satisfied please do meet the Senior Warden and the Superintendent of Hostels.
Consumption of alcohol is prohibited in the hostels.
Vehicles belonging to hostellers may be parked within the hostel compound. However all hostellers are required to register their vehicles with the Security Officer (near the Central admission Office and Railway reservation Counter opposite the Emergency Entry Gate) and display the AIIMS Vehicle Pass Sticker (oval, blue coloured). If the approved sticker is not displayed the vehicle is liable to towed away.
Visitors are requested to park their vehicles in the designated parking lots outside the hostels.

For fresh offer - 7 working days (excluding Sunday and Gazetted Holiday), For fresh allotment - 10 working days (excluding Sunday and Gazetted Holiday), For change offer - 3 working days (excluding Sunday and Gazetted Holiday) and For change allotment - 7 working days (excluding Sunday and Gazetted Holiday).The allotment letter is provided to every hosteller through the Head of the Department. He / she have to contact the Hostel Office and intimate whether he / she is interested in the accommodation. In case he / she does not contact the office it is presumed that the person is not interested and has refused the allotment and he / she will be debarred from the waiting list for 6 months.
If you do not shift into the allotted room, the person next in the priority list is offered the room. You are then debarred for a period of six month from further allotment.
Hostellers are discouraged from overstaying. Strict action is taken against defaulters. However if there is a dire need then an written application is to be submitted to the Superintendent of Hostels, duly forwarded and recommended by the Head of the Department citing the reasons for extending the stay. Each case is evaluated on individual merit and decided accordingly. In general, extensions are extraordinary and refusals are to be expected.
Exceeding the period of stay is a serious offence. In case the hostel is not vacated, ‘no dues’ certificate is not issued. Without this certificate the last pay and benefits are withheld and the degree certificate is not released. Further penal rent is imposed. The room may be double-locked and necessary eviction proceedings are instituted.
Visitors are permitted in the hostels. However visitors are to make the necessary entries in the registers. Hostellers are not encouraged to take visitors into their rooms.
Proof of Residence Certificate is issued on the basis of an application in the form available in the Hostel Website. The application is to be forwarded through the Head of the Department or the Registrar (in the case of undergraduate students). The reason for which this certificate is required must be clearly indicated. Normally it takes one weekto issue this certificate.
You may choose one or several options available. There are cooperative messes run by hostellers for which the membership is limited. In addition there are contractor run messes where boarding charges may be paid monthly or for each meal. In addition there are Cafes that serve dishes that are to be ordered and paid for every time. You should check and discover what suits you best. Your seniors would guide you. A list of the messes and Cafes are available with the Hostel Office.
It is mandatory for every commercial establishment in the Hostels to maintain and produce on demand a Complaint Book. These complaints are checked periodically and fine imposed or appropriate action taken after verification. In case the Complaint Book is not available or you are not satisfied please do meet the Senior Warden and the Superintendent of Hostels.
Consumption of alcohol is prohibited in the hostels.
Vehicles belonging to hostellers may be parked within the hostel compound. However all hostellers are required to register their vehicles with the Security Officer (near the Central admission Office and Railway reservation Counter opposite the Emergency Entry Gate) and display the AIIMS Vehicle Pass Sticker (oval, blue coloured). If the approved sticker is not displayed the vehicle is liable to towed away.
Visitors are requested to park their vehicles in the designated parking lots outside the hostels.

The Director, AIIMS is the highest authority that oversees the functioning of the hostels. To supervise the hostel section, members of the Faculty are appointed by the Director to work in the capacities of the Superintendent and Deputy Superintendents. The Superintendent of Hostels is the overall in-charge of the hostels. The Hostel Section looks after the day-to-day functioning with the Senior Warden overseeing all the hostels. The Senior Warden is supported by Wardens, Deputy Wardens, Assistant Wardens and Junior Wardens who look after individual hostels along with other staff.

There are a total of twenty different halls of residence and dwellings that are regarded as hostel accommodation. Of these, thirteen are in the Ansari Nagar (East) campus and accommodates all undergraduates (except lady nursing students) and single postgraduates and resident doctors. These are the older hostels. These nine hostels for gentlemen have derived their names from the Ayurveda, and are a tribute to those who have laid the foundations for medicine and surgery, relevant even today.

The present building of Centre for Dental Education and Research (CDER) is a continuation of erstwhile Department of Dental Surgery established in 1960 with single dental surgeon. The department saw significant progress from non-teaching to teaching and subsequently starting Post-graduation in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics in 1984, Maxillofacial Prosthodontics in 1995, Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics in 2003 and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in 2005. The Governing Body of the Institute approved in principle establishment of post graduate dental specialty centre in 1999 and the foundation stone for this building was laid in May 2003. As on now this centre is one of the outstanding specialized centres of AIIMS and carries on the tradition of providing excellent patient care, post graduate education and research. The fifth specialty Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry post graduate courses started in year 2017 and it is envisaged to start post-graduation in several other subjects, PhD and fellowships in other branches of dentistry.
The CDER has been actively providing policy and program support to the Govt by advising and participating in various technical and scientific work of Govt of India. The erstwhile Department of Dental Surgery was named as nodal agency for implementation of pilot project on National Oral Health Care Program in the country in year 1999. Subsequently, the Centre developed the implementation strategies for National Oral Health Care Program and developed several demonstration programs and guidelines for oral disease prevention. The Centre also developed several IEC materials, manuals, educative film on Oral health and chapters for NCERT books on oral health awareness and disease prevention. The Centre also conducted several training programmes for dental surgeons, health workers, nurses, school teachers and NGOs on primary prevention of oral diseases and effective tobacco cessation counselling. The Centre has been involved in several projects of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Indian Council for Medical Research, Department of Science & Technology, Department of Biotechnology, CSIR and WHO. The Centre provides essential treatment at AIIMS outreach centres at Mid-town Rotary Hospital at Trilokpuri, and CRHSP, Ballabhgarh. The Centre was the Nodal agency for National Oral Health Care Programme (1999-2005).
The Centre was given the status of National Centre of Excellence for Implementation of National Oral Health Program in February 2014 and WHO CC for Oral Health Promotion in May 2014. The faculty from the Centre have been instrumental in development of operational guidelines for National Oral Health Program, Regional Oral Health Strategy, Draft National Oral Health Policy and guidelines for dental screening under Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK).
As part of National Oral Health Program, CDER has also developed a web portal and app named EDantSeva for use as informative and educative electronic resource for public on oral health issues as well as data for dental. Professionals.
The faculty from the Centre is providing leadership role in various technical and professional organizations at key positions and are publishing a significant number of scientific articles in journals of repute.

The unprecedented change in educational and information technology over the past decade has resulted in a situation where Faculty development is vital for keeping in touch with recent trends and launching innovations in the field of education. From its inception, KL Wig CMET has initiated a process of organizing workshops at the institutional, National and international levels. The areas addressed in these workshops are Assessment Strategies in medical education, The Role of Media in Education Problem-Based Learning, production of Learning Resource Materials and Computer Assisted Learning, Scientific Writing, 'How to make good slides?' and Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) etc. AIIMS has popularized the use of MCQs and the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) to assess theory and clinical skills, respectively, which have influenced the quality of training.
CMET workshops are collective efforts in which the in-house faculty members come together to organize the activities.
Globalization, free market courses, changing needs and expectations of society, and rapid technology change, besides the knowledge explosion, have driven Medical Education worldwide. The medical schools are striving for skill enhancement of their residents with inbuilt flexibility in terms of scope for self-directed learning. The availability and access to information technology have opened the window for adopting new education strategies. Capacity building of Residents has become the buzzword.

AIIMS is responsible for developing teaching patterns in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education in all its branches to demonstrate a high standard of medical education to all medical colleges and other health professional institutions in India. Although the Institute has brought about significant changes in its curricula, the overall standard of Medical Education at a national level has remained static since 1947. Teachers in most medical colleges in India have remained uninfluenced by modern educational theories and advanced educational technology. Our health planners increasingly felt that urgent, competent and comprehensive action was needed to make medical education more relevant to our national needs. AIIMS has been exploring the possibility of establishing an inter-institutional link with the Centre for Medical Education at the University of Dundee in the United Kingdom for quite some time. A proposal was mooted 1977 to establish a Centre for Medical Education and Technology at AIIMS. However, it was in 1989 that the Government of India accorded formal approval to the tripartite agreement between AIIMS, Overseas Development Agencies (ODA), the United Kingdom and Govt. of New Zealand to set up a Centre with a view to elevate the standards of Medical and Health Personnel Education by improving the methods of teaching learning and rationalising the educational strategy. The Centre has been named after Prof. K.L. Wig, the second Director of AIIMS and a doyen of Medical Education.
Following a tripartite agreement between AIIMS and the UK and New Zealand governments, a faculty development program was organised for a core faculty and technical staff at the Dundee Institute of Educational Technology, United Kingdom. The Government of New Zealand provided the equipment for a fully fledged media production centre.

There is a PhD program in Cardiac Biochemistry. Currently three students are pursuing PhD in the department
The department has collaboration with several clinical departments and involved in several MD/DM thesis work
The department is actively involved in research in the following areas:
Located at: Room No.11, CN center
Located at R.No.53, CN center
Testing done in the following areas:
The Department of Psychiatry had informal beginning in 1958, when Dr. Luvia Taylor Gregg, Honorary Consultant in Psychiatry, began formal teaching in psychiatry for the first batch of MBBS students. Dr Gregg planned to introduce 100 hours of teaching in psychiatry in MBBS curriculum. Prof KL Wig, the then Head, Department of Medicine (later Director, AIIMS) was instrumental in integrating teaching of psychiatry throughout the clinical posting in medicine, so that the exposure to psychiatry was spread to all the 3 years on weekly basis. DrVimlaVirmani, who later headed the Department of Neurology, also worked as clinical tutor in the initial years of the Department history.
Dr AS Mahal joined as Assistant Professor in 1962 and Dr D Satyanand as Professor and Head in Aug 1963. Regular MD Psychiatry programme in psychiatry, the first in the country was started in 1964 by DrSatyanand. During 1967-1968, Dr Erna Hoch, a Swiss psychiatrist, who had migrated to India, headed the Department as Honorary Professor and Head for about one and half year. She was followed by Dr JS Neki, who joined in Sept 1968 as Professor and Head.
The Department of Psychiatry had a number of firsts in India besides being a pioneer in establishing postgraduate training in psychiatry in general hospital setting. The department gave a stature to psychiatry as medical discipline in a medical institution in India. Another path braking contribution of the department of psychiatry was initiating rural mental health services, through the Indian Council of Medical Research funded mental health project at the Ballabgarh Community Centre in 1964. The department has also the credit of starting the first Child Guidance Clinic in Delhi in 1964 and De Addiction Centre in 1988 which got the status of the National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre (NDDTC) in 1988. NDDTC is also a WHO Collaborating Centre on Substance Abuse.
The Department of Psychiatry has been a pioneer in providing mental health services in a General Hospital Setting. The department runs regular out-patient and in-patient services and multiple Specialty clinics along with Community services, Consultation liaison services and Emergency psychiatric services. In addition to medical management, psychological treatments, modified electro convulsive therapy (MECT), rTMS, tDCS and biofeedback are routinely provided. During the year 2017-18, the department provided out-patient consultation services to a total of 17,204 new cases and 66,333 follow up cases. The department is at the forefront of medical education with courses for MBBS, B.Sc/M.Sc nursing, MD (Psychiatry) and PhD (Clinical Psychology). The department undertakes regular collaborative research with national and international agencies like World Health Organization (WHO), University of California, National Institute of Health Research (UK), ICMR, and organizes year round public educational events for awareness and promotion of mental health.
Currently primary mandate of the department is to develop highly trained manpower, curriculum and techniques for undergraduate and postgraduate medical education. Funded research on epidemiology of substance abuse along with general mental health morbidity has been the main focus. The postgraduates are trained through outpatient, inpatient, community based and family centred mental health care

The faculty is involved in various interdepartmental research projects and thesis work. We are also involved in a research project being conducted in collaboration with IIT, Delhi.
The Radiology unit provides following diagnostic services - X-ray, ultrasound, CT scan, mammography, fluoroscopic procedures like barium and contrast studies and diagnostic Angiography. X-rays are done immediately during working hours, without any waiting. Other investigations are performed with prior appointment which can be obtained at counter no. 12, ground floor, Dr BRAIRCH.
Interventional radiological services include ultrasound and CT guided biopsy, FNAC and drainage procedures. Palliative care procedures like percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) and percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) with stenting and therapeutic vascular interventions including transarterial chemo embolization are also performed. MRI facility is not available in the unit and this service is provided by centralized facility of department of NMR.
We also review outside imaging studies of patients being treated at BRAIRCH. We also engage in collaborative image guided procedures with other departments. These include intra-operative ultrasound, radio-frequency ablation of tumors and interventional pain management procedures.
A radiographer is on duty on 24x7 basis to provide emergency x-rays, including portable bedside x-rays in wards, ICU and OT.
We conduct interdepartmental clinic-radiological conferences with all clinical departments of BRAIRCH six days a week. In this, the imaging studies are discussed and compared. This is an important teaching as well as patient care activity of the department. In addition, faculties of the department regularly take classes for students of MD Radio-diagnosis, MD, Radiotherapy, DM Medical oncology and M Ch Surgical oncology.

The Indian Cancer Genetics and Genomics Conference-2020
The Indian Cancer Genetics and Genomics Conference-2020 (ICGGC-2020) was organized on a hybrid-virtual platform on the 24th and 25th of November 2020. This was organised by the Department of Medical Oncology, AIIMS, New Delhi in association with the Indo-UK Genetic Education Forum, under the aegis of the Research and Education Society of medical Oncology (RESMO).
Genetics and genomics are playing an ever-increasing role in deciding the management of cancers, be it the diagnosis, prognosis, precision therapeutic management or precision prevention. The role of genomics and genetics in oncology is evolving at an extremely fast pace and it is prudent to keep abreast of it. Precision prevention, particularly identifying the high-risk families and unaffected relatives has a tremendous potential for preventing cancers and altering the natural history of the disease. With this intent in mind, this conference was planned to present the current state-of -the art management in Clinical Cancer Genetics. It was an educational event targeted to the residents training in medical, surgical, radiation oncology and gynaecological and breast surgery in different institutes all over the country.
The conference had a galaxy of esteemed faculty, including renowned clinicians and geneticists from the United kingdom, the United Sates, leading academic institutes across the length and breadth of India including AIIMS-New Delhi, Tata Memorial Hospital-Mumbai, PGIMER-Chandigarh, JIPMER-Puducherry, Cancer Institute-Adyar, Chennai.
The first day was dedicated to Hereditary breast and ovarian cancers and the speakers explained the current concepts and the state- of – the art practice. Important data from European and Indian studies were presented and discussed. Panel discussion explaining the important aspects of clinical management was organised. The second day was dedicated was Lynch syndrome, Li Fraumeni, Retinoblastoma and other miscellaneous cancers. The laboratory principles, technical details of reporting, genetic counselling etc were addressed.
The event was attended online and appreciated by more than 800 viewers all over the world. The videos of the event, both days 1 & 2 are available at the link on the institute website.

S.no | Name of the Project & Principal Investigator | Description of the Project |
---|---|---|
1 | Fetal liver infusion: Further studies on the role of action of fetal liver cells on the regeneration of adult bone marrow: In vitro evaluation | Earlier studies conducted in our lab. demonstrated that fetal liver conditioned medium (FLCM) supported the colony growth of normal bone marrow as well as aplastic marrow. This suggested the presence of growth stimulatory cytokines in FLCM. Eliza studies revealed the presence of stem cell factor in 50% of FLCM samples. Subsequent studies revealed that Flt3 and IL-6 were also present in substantial number of FLCM samples. |
2 | Evaluation of thermal camera to detect early cancer: Collaborative project with Moscow | Russian scientists have produced a Camera which measures thermal changes in the body. Thermal changes occurring in superficial parts of body may be indicative of cancer. DST has identified IRCH, AIIMS as one of the centres where this camera could be evaluated to see, if cancer can be detected in its early stages. Two doctor team from IRCH, AIIMS has already visited Moscow and seen this camera. Now IRCH has procured this camera and has initiated the required work. |
3 | Effect of breathing techniques: Sudarshan Kriya in normal individuals and those with cancer in remission | Sudarshan kriya (SK) is a rhythmic breathing process, where 3 rhythms of breath are followed in cyclical fashion. This process has been introduced by H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Studies conducted so far have shown that regular practice of Sudershan Kriya (SK) and Pranayam(P) introduces changes in electroencephalogram (EEG) consistent with the achievement of state of relaxed alertness. Fall in blood lactate in those practicing SK & P further confirms that state of relaxation is achieved. Also natural killer (NK) cells and antioxidant defence increases in the body This would raise the possibility that age related diseases may be reduced with these practices. Gene expression profiling revealed that process of scenescence may get delayed and risk of cancer may be less. Patients with breast cancer had fewer side effects to chemotherapy, better quality of life and better immune status. |
4 | Antioxidant Vitamins in lung cancer: | Current therapies for lung cancer are unsatisfactory. Despite using multiple chemotherapy combinations, response rates have been less than 40%; survival less than 10 months and one year survival often less than 40%. In vitro study carried out by us demonstrated increase in apoptosis when antioxidants were added to Carboplatin/Paclitaxel combination. Clinical study also showed improved response rates and longer survival although statistical difference could not be demonstrated. |
5 | “Common cancers: Perception and determinants of community behavior”. – Terry Fox Project | Description:- Under this project 10 focused group discussion (FGD) have been organized with community members, para medical workers, health workers and medical officers. These were organized in four districts of Delhi. Individual interviews with community members, para medical workers, health workers is also conducted in the same district. Interviews with medical officers, senior medical administrative officers and program planners is likely to finish in near future |
6 | Population screening programme for cancer of cervix, breast and oral cavity to (i) Determine the level of knowledge and skill of health workers in the use of low cost screening techniques for the detection of common cancers in the community (ii) Assess the effectiveness of training of health workers in the use of low cost screening techniques and (iii) Determine the supervisory and monitoring factors in a programme on the use of low cost screening techniques by health workers. | Description:- Under this project training program on awareness and cancer screening technique for common cancers i.e cervix, breast and oral cavity is being organized for the medical officers, para medical workers and health workers of CGHS and ESI. So far theoretical and practical training has been provided to 200 personnel. Program is on and target is to cover all personnel of above organization. Screening for cancer cervix is being run in association with various NGO’s. |
7 | Randomized study comparing upfront surgery followed by chemotherapy versus upfront chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery in previously untreated epithelial ovarian cancer stage III C and stage IV (pleural effusion only). | Between Oct. 2001 and Aug. 2006, 118 previously untreated patients of Stage IIIC & IV were randomized into two arms; Arm A (n=62) consisted of upfront debulking surgery followed by 6 cycles of Paclitaxel and Carboplatin. Arm B; upfront 3 cycles of chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery. Results: Patients in neoadjuvant arm had higher optimum debulking rate (p<0.001) and decreased blood loss. There was good correlation between CAT Scan findings and suboptimal debulking. Quality of life score (QOL) was higher in arm B. |
8 | Alpha interferon vs low dose Thalidomide as maintenance therapy following autologous stem cell transplant in patients with multiple myeloma: A randomized study | To reduce the risk of relapse, after autolo stem cell transplant we are performing a prospective ,study in which patients are randomized to receive either IFN- a 3 mU SC thrice a week for => one year or low dose thalidomide, 50 mg daily for =>one year. Between October 2002 and June 2004, 17 patients have been entered into the study (IFN- a - 8, thalidomide- 9). Therapy was started within 12 weeks of transplant. Patients are being followed regularly for any toxicity to above therapy and relapse. In one patient randomized to IFN-a arm , treatment could not be started due to low counts >3 months post transplant. In another patient IFN-a had to be stopped after 12 weeks due to intolerance. The major side effects to thalidomide were- constipation, drowsiness and mild neuropathy and skin rash in one patient. In IFN arm, - flu like symptoms were seen in almost all patients within first 2 to 6 weeks, followed by myelosuppression (grade I-II). All 17 patients continue to be alive till date. |
9 | Concomitant chemoradiation protocol for advanced and or unresectable squanous cell carcinoma of oropharynx and nasopharynx | The head and neck cancers constitute 5% of all cancers worldwide and 15% of all cancers in developing countries. Most of these patients present in advanced stages. There are areas in the head and neck region e.g. Nasopharynx and Oropharynx where surgery is not technically feasible or it is difficult and these cancers are treated with radical or palliative radiotherapy which is often supplemented with chemotherapy. A number of trials including meta analyses are available in the literature giving conflicting results whether addition of chemotherapy definitely adds to the improvement in survival or not. There is lack of published literature from India in this particular field. In the proposed study we, plan to study the safety and efficacy of chemoradiation (concomitant using single agent cispaltin) in unresectable squamous cell carcinoma of oropharynx and nasopharynx and to compare it with radical radiotherapy in a randomized fashion. |
10 | Efficacy and Adverse effects of Thalidomide and Prednisone in Hormone refractory prostate cancer | Prostate cancer is an important and increasing public health problem. In India incidence of prostate cancer is 4.5/ 1,00,000. However, it is the 3rd commonest cancer in males in Delhi. During the course of disease once the cancer becomes androgen independent or refractory there are limited options available. Angiogenesis has been identified as a key pathophysiological process that is important in growth, local invasiveness and metastasis of malignant tumors. Therefore, anti-angiogenic therapy represents one of the promising new approaches to anticancer therapy. Thalidomide is one such drug available in oral formulation and have limited side effects except teratogenecity. In this trial 50 hormone refractory metastatic prostate cancer patients will be recruited. |
11 | Gemcitabine, and Oxaliplatin in advanced/Unrespectable Adenocarcinoma of Gall Bladder: A phase II study | Gall bladder cancer is one of the commonest cancer in females in this part of country. Majority of these patients present in advanced and unresectable stage. Currently these patients of unresectable/ metastatic gall bladder cancer are treated with palliative RT, chemotherapy or just with analgesics. There are some initial reports about efficacy of Gemcitabine, and Oxaliplatin in these patients. The drugs are also available in India. As majority of our patients present with advanced stage it will be meaningful to test combination of Gemcitabine and Oxaliplatin as first line therapy in advanced/ unresectable adenocarcinoma of gall bladder. |
12 | In vitro expansion and establishment of human fetal liver hematopoietic stem cell line. | Fetal liver is the predominant site of hematopoiesis during mid gestation. Fetal liver infusion has been used to treat certain disorders like aplastic anemia (AA), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and immunodeficiency syndrome., In previous study we have demonstrated the presence of putative growth factors (cytokines), such as stem cell factor (SLF), IL-6 and fms – like tyrosine kinase – (FLt-3) in fetal liver conditioned media. In the present project we plan to isolate fetal liver hematopoietic stem cells (FLHSC) expand these cells under in vitro culture condition and establish transformed and non-transformed cell lines. |
13 | An invitro study of antiproliferative and apoptotic effects of gefitinib on lung cancer cell lines. | Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death across the globe. Nearly 60% of people diagnosed with lung cancer die within one year and >75% within 2 years of their diagnosis. Recent data from the combination of newer agents plus platinum has shown a modest increase in survival for patients with advanced lung cancer. We plan to examine the effects of gefitinib alone and in combination with various chemotherapeutic drugs on the cell cycle. Cytotoxicity and apoptosis in lung cancer cell line. |
14 | Antioxidant as adjunct to chemotherapy of lung cancer: in vitro study. | In this study, we want to see the effects of antioxidants (Vitamin C, E & beta-carotene) in conjunction with standard chemotherapeutic agents in a number of lung cancer cell lines. As earlier in our study we have demonstrated that a mixture of antioxidants significantly enhance the apoptotic effect of chemotherapeutic agents paclitaxel and carboplatin on human lung cancer cell line. |
15 | Resistance to Imatinib Phositive Indian leukemia patients: Molecular mechanism. | Imatinib mesylate is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has now become the standard drug therapy for chronic myeloid leukemia in all phases of disease. But a cohort of patients either do not achieve a significant level of response or looses their best response.. In this project we aim to study what are the changes occurring at molecular level that are responsible for this type of resistance to Imatinib. |
16 | Expansion of adult human bone marrow and cord blood stem cells for reconstituting marrow and for reprogramming into hepatocytes. | With discovery of transdifferentiation ability of hematopoietic stem cells, cellular therapy is expected to become relatively simpler and versatile. Patient’s own born marrow cells can be utilized for the therapy avoiding immune rejection. It would be exciting to explore the possibility of candidates stem cell expansion, then ex vivo reprogramming them to partially different target cells and transporting into the hose (nude mice in our project). Beside bone marrow, cord blood is an excellent candidate for adult stem cells having primitive phenotype (CD 34+, CD38-, HLA-DR); has the potential for ex vivo expansion and cell therapy. In this project we target both cord blood and born marrow as a source of multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPC). Characterization of MAPC, its ex vivo expansion and differentiation into hepatocytes will provide possible insight for transdifferentiation. In vivo experiments using nude mice will provide evidence of stem cell potential for homing engraftment and differentiation into hepatocytes |
17 | Treatment and characterization of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children, adolescents and young adults | Enrolling patients of ALL <25 years age for diagnosis, immunophenotyping, treatment protocol and to study their biology using molecular markers. |
18 | G-CSF mobilized peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation(allogeneic or autologous: A multicentric study. | Role of G-CSF in mobilization of stem cell in both autologous and allogeneic stem cell setting. So far 8 patients have been recruited. Initial results confirm the role of G-CSF (grastim) in mobilization of CD34 +ve cells. |
19 | Randomized comparison of ABVD with EVAP in newly diagnosed cases of Hodgkin’s lymphoma-protocol p-0402 | Most of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (Disease) patients require combination chemotherapy. The available chemotherapy regimens include doxorubicin (adriamycin), bleomycin, vinblastine, decarbazine (ABVD) which is considered gold standard; COPP< MOPP-ABV etc. Whereas, the ABVD is one of the most effective combination majority of our patients find it difficult to afford. Alkylating based regimen like MOPP and COPP are usually associated with sterility in significant number of cases together with risk of secondary leukemia (malignancy). Hence, there is a need for a new regimen which may be as effective as ABVD, devoid of late side effects of alkylators and yet cheaper. Earlier we have shown effectiveness of etoposide, vinblastine, adriamycin, and prednisolone (EVA). Therefore, we plan to compare effectiveness of EVAP vis a vis ABVD in a prospective randomized fashion in newly diagnosed cases of Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Study was started in September 2004 and we are likely to complete accrual of 100 by October 2006. |
20 | Role of arsenic trioxide with ascorbic acid in treatment of multiple myeloma – a pilot study. | A Phase II study of role of arsenic trioxide with ascorbic acid in treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma is underway, a total of eight patients have been recruited and their evaluation is underway. A total 20 patients are intended for recruitment. |

HOD 1965-1988
HOD 1995-2006
HOD 2006 -2012, currently on deputation as Director, AIIMS, Bhubaneshwar
Spine Surgery Fellowship, Tampa, Florida, USA 2002-2003
BOYS CAST Fellowship, DST 2005-2006.
The Department has always been in the forefront in the areas of research and academic activities. Taken together, since 1965, when the Department was still in its infancy, we have contributed more than 500 scientific publications in various national and international journals. This is probably the largest number of publications by any neurosurgical centre in India.
The department of Neurosurgery has remained a centre point of research in the country. There has been research on evidence based clinical practice and laboratory based work. The department has been involved with several multi-centric national and international studies.
The Department of Neurosurgery at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi started the “Experimental Microneurosurgery Laboratory” in 1971 through the efforts of Prof. P.N. Tandon and Prof. A.K. Banerji (Emeritus Professors, Department of Neurosurgery).
The training laboratory was expanded and renovated into a full fledged training facility named as Neurosurgery Skills Training Facility and Experimental Laboratory with the support of Department of Science and Technology (DST), Ministry of Science and Technology, Govt. of India, Department of Biotechnology (DBT) Indo-German Collaboration, Ministry of Science and Technology, Govt. of India, and Department of Health Research (DHR-ICMR), Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Govt. of India for hands on skills training of M.Ch and DNB neurosurgery residents and trained /trainee Neurosurgeons from India and abroad.
The Neurosurgery Skills Training Facility and Experimental Laboratory is equipped with the state-of-the-art equipment, which simulates a modern Neurosurgery Operation Room environment. The training imparted is aimed at development of Neurosurgical skills and techniques.
The training imparted in the form of quarterly workshops, short term training programs and daily skills training sessions is focused on formulation of a new curriculum of neurosurgical skills development and imparting hands-on practice on synthetic/semi synthetic models, live anesthetized animals and cadaver parts using highly advanced equipment and technology creating a neurosurgical operation room environment.
The inpatient services of department of Neurosurgery are located in Cardiothoracic and Neurosciences Centre (C N Centre) and C N Tower at AIIMS.
There are two Neurosurgical units in the department located on 2nd and 3rd floor of C N Centre better known as NS-2 and NS-3 wards. Each ward has bed strength of 35. The C N Tower has 25 special rooms dedicated for neurosciences patients. There are two Intensive Care Units ICU-B and ICU-C, situated on the 1st floor of C N Centre and have bed strength of 25. Each ICU is equipped with state of the art equipment viz. electro-hydraulic beds, latest ventilators for each bed, central monitor for each bed, blood gas analyzer, blood coagulation parameter analyzer, cardiac defibrillators, infusion pumps, dialysis machine and transcranial doppler etc. The nurse to patient ratio in ICU is 1:1.
There are 7 neurosurgical operation theaters situated in the CN Centre and CN Tower. Operation theaters are equipped with the state of the art modern amenities and equipments e.g. laminar flow, intra-operative MRI, electro hydraulic operating tables, latest operating microscopes, CUSA, image intensifiers, intra-operative ultrasound, intra-operative vascular doppler machine, intra-operative neuro-navigation (Treon-from Medtronic), intra-operative EEG, intra-operative cell saver (to recycle blood loss during surgery), intra-operative trans-esophageal echocardiography, intra-operative evoked potential recording, nerve stimulators etc. Along with this each operation theater is equipped with state of the art anesthesia equipment and monitoring systems. The department of neurosurgery has back up of most modern sister departments of Neuro-radiology and Neuro-pathology. The neuro-radiology department is equipped with state of the art biplane DSA machine, multi-slice CT machine, 1.5 tesla MRI machine and ultra-sound machine.
Apart from this, the department has Gamma Knife unit equipped with Leksell Gamma Knife machine which treats various intracranial lesions non-invasively.
The department specializes in various fields of Neurosurgery i.e.
The Department of Neurosurgery runs OPD in Cardiothoracic and Neurosciences Centre (CN Centre Ground Floor) for four days in a week i.e. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

Guidelines for Short-Term/Long-Term Training/Visiting Fellow in respect of Indian and Foreign National candidates
The Department of Neurosurgery at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi started the “Experimental Microneurosurgery Laboratory” in 1971 through the efforts of Prof. P.N. Tandon and Prof. A.K. Banerji (Emeritus Professors, Department of Neurosurgery).
The training laboratory was expanded and renovated into a full fledged training facility named as Neurosurgery Skills Training Facility and Experimental Laboratory with the support of Department of Science and Technology (DST), Ministry of Science and Technology, Govt. of India, Department of Biotechnology (DBT) Indo-German Collaboration, Ministry of Science and Technology, Govt. of India, and Department of Health Research (DHR-ICMR), Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Govt. of India for hands on skills training of M.Ch and DNB neurosurgery residents and trained /trainee Neurosurgeons from India and abroad.
The Neurosurgery Skills Training Facility and Experimental Laboratory is equipped with the state-of-the-art equipment, which simulates a modern Neurosurgery Operation Room environment. The training imparted is aimed at development of Neurosurgical skills and techniques.
The training imparted in the form of quarterly workshops, short term training programs and daily skills training sessions is focused on formulation of a new curriculum of neurosurgical skills development and imparting hands-on practice on synthetic/semi synthetic models, live anesthetized animals and cadaver parts using highly advanced equipment and technology creating a neurosurgical operation room environment.

Pit and Fissure Sealant Training Workshop 1 May 2017
The CBCT facility in room No. 514, 5th floor CDER, was inaugurated by Director AIIMS New Delhi, Prof. Randeep Guleria in the presence of Chief CDER, Dean Academics, Dean Research and other faculty members of AIIMS, on 1st January 2018.
The CBCT machine is capable of both 2D and 3D imaging and reconstruction of oral and maxillofacial structures by using a specialized projection geometry and algorithm resulting in a significant reduction of radiation exposure to the patient as compared to conventional CT machines. This facility is now available to all patients seeking treatment at AIIMS at a very subsidized cost.
CBCT allows visualization of sub-millimetre sections with no magnification making linear and angular measurements accurate for high precision applications like implant placement and endodontics.
CBCT will open up new vistas for advanced imaging which will enhance diagnosis, treatment planning and management of patients with complex oral and maxillofacial pathology, trauma, and deformities. Its applications can be further enhanced by coupling it with 3D scanners and 3D printers for creating life- size models, making it an excellent tool for patient education, training and research.
The “Staff Cafeteria” at ground floor, centre for Dental Education and Research, AIIMS, New Delhi was inaugurated by Prof. Randeep Gulleria, Director, AIIMS, New Delhi in presence of Prof O.P. Kharbanda, Chief , CDER, AIIMS on 1st January, 2018. They were accompanied by Prof Chitra Sarkar, Dean Research, AIIMS and Prof Y.K. Gupta, Dean Academic, AIIMS and other esteemed faculty members of AIIMS.
Report on Oral Health Promotion Drive on International Childhood Cancer Day 2017 – 8th February 2017 (Wednesday)
Centre for Dental Education and Research participated in the event organised by the Department of Paediatrics on 8th February 2017 commemorating the International Childhood Cancer Day on 15th February 2017 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Auditorium, AIIMS New Delhi. An Oral Health Promotion Drive for the Paediatric cancer patients was also done. Oral hygiene methods were demonstrated to the children suffering from cancer using animated video and brushing models. Also a comic story was circulated among the children and their caregivers regarding the oral health. The comic demonstrated various oral conditions that might happen during their Chemotherapy and radiotherapy and ways to combat them. Also 100 badges were distributed to the children carrying various oral health messages emphasising the need of brushing twice daily, healthy eating and avoid snacking. Posters providing educational information on oral health in children were displayed. The participating team in the event was

The Department of Head and Neck Oncology at the National Cancer Institute, Jhajjar, strives to offer affordable and quality service to patients with head and neck cancer. The department currently provides daily outpatient services (Monday to Friday), including various office-based procedures. We ensure optimal and quality clinical in-patient services in the current 20-bedded ward on the 5th floor. Additionally, we run a multidisciplinary disease management group twice a week (Tuesday and Friday) and a swallowing clinic with a facility for Functional endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) for appropriate rehabilitation of the patients after surgery in the OPD setting. Emergency services (management of airway and bleeding in relation to head and neck cancers) are offered round the clock. We are equipped with nasal endoscopy and fiberoptic laryngoscopy for clinical oncologic examination.
The department runs eight operation theaters weekly (Monday to Friday). It offers surgical treatment of cancer related to the domain of Otorhinolaryngology (maxillectomy, laryngectomy, neck dissection, glossectomy, thyroidectomies, mandibulectomy, etc.) for early and advanced oral, laryngeal, and other head and neck cancers.
In addition to clinical care, the department has also been playing a prominent role in academic and research activities. Residents training (MS {ENT} and MCh {Head and Neck Cancer Surgery}) is being undertaken with an emphasis on clinical care, research, and teaching aspects. The teaching courses in the subspecialties of Head and neck oncology are being conducted regularly.

The following Academic Courses are being conducted under the department:
The Services of Onco-Anaesthesia, Intensive Care, Pain and Palliative Medicine are an integral part of National Cancer Institute, Jhajjar, All India Institute of Medical Sciences. The Department works alongside the department of Onco-Anaesthesia and Palliative Medicine, Dr.BRAIRCH under the able headship of Dr (Prof) Sushma Bhatnagar. The department provide services to anesthesiology, intensive care, pain and palliative care and emergency medicine as well. All of them are professionally qualified anesthesiologists and critical care physicians and have gained experience as palliative care personnel in the advanced cancer patients referred for pain and other symptom management. They have many years of teaching experience as well.
The mission of the Department is to provide state-of-art and comprehensive care for patients with cancer with both curative and palliative intent. It includes services for various diagnostic interventions, surgical procedures, pain and palliative procedures. The department has a 24-bedded palliative care ward for providing inpatient palliative care of oncology patients which provides round the clock services for acute and chronic pain management as well. The ward has well trained nursing staff and physiotherapist for improving the quality of life for cancer palliative care. The department also manages one operation theatre dedicated for interventions in palliative care patients for symptom and pain management.
The department has 25-bedded intensive care unit which provides care for critically ill patients from surgical oncology, medical oncology and radiation oncology departments. The ICU is well equipped with state-of-art technology and well-trained manpower.
The department provides comprehensive care for the surgical procedures. It has pre-anaesthetic clinic for preoperative evaluation and optimization for surgical interventions. The operating rooms are well equipped with state-of-art infrastructure including anesthesia workstations and other ancillary equipments like invasive monitoring devices, intubating fiberscope, ultrasound machines etc. The centre has well equipped recovery area providing immediate care to postsurgical patients. All surgical patients receives acute pain management services round the clock supervised by the faculty. The department provides point of care technology with ultrasound for diagnostic (vascular access, nerve blocks, volume responsiveness assessment, and for therapeutic purposes (pleurocentesis, optimization of cardiovascular function in various types of shock) in the operating room, palliative care ward and Intensive care
The department provide emergency services including airway management and ventilatory support to patients admitted with other specialties like surgical oncology, medical oncology and radiation oncology. The services for management of pain due to chemotherapy or radiation therapy are also provided to these departments round the clock.
We also run OPDs 5 days in a week where we examine and treat cancer pain patients and admit patients if required to the palliative care. In theses OPDs we also see patients for pre anesthesia check ups.

It was in the year 1956, when the vision of comprehensive healthcare inclusive of preventive, promotive and curative came into existence with the establishment of AIIMS, New Delhi as an autonomous institution of national importance. To serve as a nucleus for nurturing excellence in all aspect of health care, Medical Social Welfare Services in AIIMS were initiated and the first Medical Social Worker was appointed in the hospital in 1960.
Since the advent of Medical Social Welfare Services, it has gained much needed support from Hospital Administration and its leadership. The services to the underprivileged and impoverished catered socio-economic challenges and psycho-social assessment through specific designed interventions by the Medical Social Work professionals. Henceforth, the professional development of Social Welfare Services never looked back and the post of MSW eventually developed into a cadre of Medical Social Service Officer (MSSO) increasing the strength of officers to 58 at present.
At present the Medical Social Welfare Unit, Main Hospital has 14 Medical Social Service Officers taking care of OPDs and Wards of 19 significant departments. The Medical Social Welfare Unit (main hospital) comes under the Medical Superintendent, Main Hospital (Dr. D. K. Sharma), the day-to-day activities are supervised by the Chief MSSO (B. R. Shekhar).
In addition to the Medical Social Welfare Unit, AIIMS has other Medical Social Services Officers placed in different departments and centers. They are working directly under the Chief/HOD of the concerned department.
Due to the professional efforts, sincerity & hard work of Medical Social Service Officers and the visionary support of the superior authorities, AIIMS has become the only institution in India with the biggest strength of Medical Social Workers in a Hospital setting.

During 1987-95, AIIMS, in partnership with three more leading medical schools in India (Institute of Medical Sciences, B.H.U., Varanasi, C.M.C., Vellore, JIPMER, Pondicherry) and Department of Medical Education, University of Illinois, Chicago, USA, launched a major WHO Project of forming a Consortium of Medical Institutions for Reform of Medical Education.
The Consortium Institutions adopted “Inquiry-driven Strategies for Innovations in Medical Education”. This included use of a common protocol, viz., inquiry into the deficiencies by collecting a data base, identifying innovations and implementing these innovations. The study was conducted by an interdisciplinary core group in each institution, especially involving clinical faculty. A series of workshops were held at CMC, Vellore, JIPMER, Pondicherry, Institute of Medical Sciences, BHU, Varanasi, in addition to Delhi for collecting a database, identifying deficiencies and initiating some innovations in undergraduate medical education. Though initially started with four institutes, the consortium was gradually extended to cover 16 medical colleges across the country. Some of the deliberations of the consortium include:
CMET/AIIMS was involved in a WHO-SEARO Multi-centric research project entitled “Teaching and Application of Health Ethics in South East Asia (India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Indonesia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka). The objective of this study was to identify the ethical dilemma faced by the clinicians and to examine the ethical issues involved in patient - doctor relationship and allocation of resources. This study involved qualitative design, viz., in-depth interview of a cross section of faculty members from various clinical specialties and a questionnaire survey using simulated case scenario. The study revealed a wide variation in the perception of doctors regarding kind of ethical dilemma they faced and the manner in which they attempted to resolve the same. A variation in the pattern is also noticed across different countries depending upon their socio-cultural ethos. The study brought out the need for developing training modules for the teachers to effectively deal with ethical problems.
CMET was integral part of Faculty Development Program conducted at AIIMS, New Delhi. The main function was to evolve in need oriented, self reliant plan for improvement of Medical Education in India with emphasis on development indigenous educational technology. CMET played a major role in organizing various national level program on Medical Education with special emphasis on curricular design, improving teaching methods, innovative objective methods of evaluation and assessment for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching programs. The list of such programs are enumerated below:

AIIMS is responsible for developing patterns of teaching in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education in all its branches so as to demonstrate a high standard of medical education to all medical colleges and other health professional institutions in India. Although the Institute has brought about significant changes in its curricula, the overall standard of Medical Education at a national level has remained rather static since 1947. By and large teachers in most of medical colleges of India had remained uninfluenced by the modern educational theories and advanced in educational technology. In fact it was being increasingly felt by our health planners that an urgent, competent and comprehensive action was needed to make medical education to more relevant our national needs. For quite some time AIIMS had been exploring the possibility of establishing an inter-institutional link with the Centre for Medical Education at the University of Dundee in United Kingdom. A proposal was mooted in 1977 for the establishment of a Centre for Medical Education and Technology at AIIMS. However it was in 1989 that the Government of India accorded formal approval to the tripartite agreement between AIIMS, Overseas Development Agencies (ODA), United Kingdom and Govt. of New Zealand to set up a Centre with a view to elevate the standards of Medical and Health Personnel Education by improving the methods of teaching learning and rationalizing the educational strategy. The Centre has been named after Prof. K.L. Wig, the second Director of AIIMS, and a doyen of Medical Education.
Following a tripartite agreement between AIIMS, Governments of UK and New Zealand, a Faculty Development Program was organized for a core group of faculty and technical staff at the Dundee Institute of Educational Technology, United Kingdom. The equipments required for setting up a fully fledged media production centre were provided by the Government of New Zealand. The centre was formally inaugurated by Hon’ble Shri K.R. Narayanan, the- then Vice- President of India, in 1993.
Keeping in mind the overall vision of AIIMS, the future vision of CMET is to develop as a Centre of Excellence in Medical and Health Professional education in the country and the South Asian Region in response to the emerging needs in this field.
Within the institute CMET is focussing on capacity building of all categories of staff by engaging in training through in-house workshops and other activities.
In the field of Medical Photography CMET provides the technical support to the AIIMS faculty, residents & other health professionals. Not only photography, the modern state of the art videography, editing work is also being carried out by this department. The services of CMET are being used in the following areas, which are later used for educational purpose.
Particulars | 2012-2013 |

The first step is to fill out the Basic User and Sample Information Form followed by the second step which is to Book your Appointment for the Confocal or Book your Appointment for Image Analysis/ Processing from the available slots in the calendar. The third step is to fill out the Payment Challan(common for all CCRF sub-facilities and available on the CCRF home page) and make the necessary payment. Charges are flexible depending on the experiment and usage. Kindly refer to the CCRF homepage to see the approved charges.
Also, do write to us at microscopy.ccrf@aiims.edu regarding your samples, purpose of analysis, the experiments and protocols that you may want to run and the dates that would suit you best. We will get back to you with the necessary instructions regarding your sample preparation, the best method to execute your protocol and the date and time.
The available LSM980 Confocal system comes with an inverted Axio Observer 7 microscope and is equipped with 7 laser lines of excitation wavelengths: 405 nm, 445 nm, 488 nm, 514 nm, 561 nm, 594 nm and 639 nm. Images are acquired using the Zen 3.1 Blue software. The system can be used to image samples on glass slides mounted on coverslips, glass-bottom multi-well plates, glass-bottom 35 mm petri-dishes and Labtek chamber slides. Cells and thin tissue sections stained with standard fluorophores can be viewed. With the confocal system, one can obtain a lateral resolution of 200 nm and axial resolution of 500 nm. For optimal results, it is advisable to have section thickness of less than 50 µm. Samples on multi-well plates and petri-dishes made of plastic or other polymers cannot be viewed in this microscope. Only confocal grade glass slides, cover slips, plates and dishes are to be used; cover slips mandatorily must be of 1 or 1.5 number with approximately 0.17 mm thickness.
Airyscan 2 is available with the LSM980 Confocal system for semi super-resolution imaging. With the Airyscan 2 system, one can obtain a lateral resolution of around 140 nm and axial resolution of around 400 nm. This module is not to be used for any routine fluorescence/ confocal imaging but only for capturing high quality representative images. The sample preparation protocol remains the same as that for confocal imaging. The laser lines and the sample types that can be imaged remain the same.
Live-cell imaging at present can be performed only with cells grown on 35 mm glass-bottom dishes. The temperature and gas modules enable setting of the desired temperature and gas concentrations – CO2 and N2 (for hypoxia) experiments. With future system upgrades, it will be possible to perform live-imaging on 6, 12, 24, 48 and 96-well glass bottom plates.
The off-line image processing system has the Zen (Blue) and Fiji (ImageJ) softwares installed. At present, only images acquired on the LSM980 confocal system can be processed. The facility is in the process of procuring image analysis softwares that can be used to analyze images captured on other confocal or super-resolution systems.
A picture is worth a thousand words and hence ‘Imaging’ is an essential component of most research and reporting using tissues and cells. The morphology of cells and tissues vary with different physiological and pathological states. This can be observed with different methods of staining or labelling with fluorophore labelled anti-bodies that can localize to regions of interest. But cells are much larger than the organelle and tubules contained within themselves. Therefore, it becomes essential to draw extremely thin sections as is done for transmission electron microscopy. This can be done effectively by optical sectioning using confocal imaging technology. Today it is even possible to reconstruct stacks of confocal images into a three-dimensional model that provides more information that can be analysed with relevance to the condition of the cells and their organelles etc. than a two-dimensional picture. Hence, at the Centralized Core Research Facility at AIIMS, where cutting edge research technology is used to answer relevant questions regarding the health of the Indian population, we have an imaging platform that provides various imaging methods such as single photon/multiphoton fluorescence or imaging with UV lasers in simultaneous or sequential mode with a possibility to image live cells with and without labeling (by Coherent anti-Stokes Raman Scattering that visualizes vibrational contrast between different molecules in the cells).
LASER Confocal Microscopy with Airyscan Semi Super-Resolution and Live-cell Imaging
The Microscopy and Imaging Facility at CCRF has been established to cater to the high-resolution imaging needs of researchers at AIIMS. With the Zeiss LSM980 system in place, one can now image samples with high spatio-temporal resolution. This state-of-the-art confocal system is equipped with a temperature and gas-controlled incubation chamber for live imaging applications. Whether you are looking for high-resolution protein localization within the cell or want to capture high-speed ion flux in an organelle, this system can perform these tasks. The confocal system has also been upgraded to semi super-resolution capability with the inclusion of Airyscan2.
The facility also has an offline ZEN image processing system that can be used for data analyses, quantifications, and 3D reconstruction. This is separate from the image acquisition system and ensures that the online confocal system is not blocked for data processing. The facility will support researchers with data quantification and suggest the type of analyses that might be required to make conclusions from the acquired data. There is help at hand for performing high quality imaging for thesis submissions, manuscript publications, etc.
As per the vision and mandate of CCRF, the Microscopy and Imaging Facility is also committed to training researchers and making them aware of the latest trends in microscopy and imaging techniques. Along this line, webinars, workshops and research talks will be conducted regularly. The users are encouraged to talk, discuss, and seek help in designing their experiments with the personnel in the facility. We look forward to seeing you with your samples at our Microscopy and Imaging facility.

Proteomics is a high throughput or large-scale comprehensive study of proteome which can be best described as the entire set of proteins that can be expressed by a genome, cell, tissue, or organism at a certain time. The proteomics study can provide information on protein’s differential regulations (for biomarker discovery), variations and modifications, enrichment processes, interacting partners in a network and possible drug target to control a disease.
The Proteomics sub-facility at CCRF, AIIMS provides two different platforms of proteomics experiments –
Both approaches are known as bottom-up proteomics approach where digestion of proteins using proteolytic enzymes (like trypsin) are required prior to the Mass Spectrometry (MS) analysis. The facility looks to help researchers and clinicians to learn and conduct proteomic experiments that can help to answer research questions associated with human diseases and therapeutics. The cutting-edge Liquid Chromatography coupled tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technology platforms will be used which can deliver high-throughput and high-sensitive proteome information.

The present building of Centre for Dental Education and Research (CDER) is a continuation of erstwhile Department of Dental Surgery established in 1960 with single dental surgeon. The department saw significant progress from non-teaching to teaching and subsequently starting Post-graduation in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics in 1984, Maxillofacial Prosthodontics in 1995, Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics in 2003 and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in 2005. The Governing Body of the Institute approved in principle establishment of post graduate dental specialty centre in 1999 and the foundation stone for this building was laid in May 2003. As on now this centre is one of the outstanding specialized centres of AIIMS and carries on the tradition of providing excellent patient care, post graduate education and research. The fifth specialty Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry post graduate courses started in year 2017 and it is envisaged to start post-graduation in several other subjects, PhD and fellowships in other branches of dentistry.
The CDER has been actively providing policy and program support to the Govt by advising and participating in various technical and scientific work of Govt of India. The erstwhile Department of Dental Surgery was named as nodal agency for implementation of pilot project on National Oral Health Care Program in the country in year 1999. Subsequently, the Centre developed the implementation strategies for National Oral Health Care Program and developed several demonstration programs and guidelines for oral disease prevention. The Centre also developed several IEC materials, manuals, educative film on Oral health and chapters for NCERT books on oral health awareness and disease prevention. The Centre also conducted several training programmes for dental surgeons, health workers, nurses, school teachers and NGOs on primary prevention of oral diseases and effective tobacco cessation counselling. The Centre has been involved in several projects of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Indian Council for Medical Research, Department of Science & Technology, Department of Biotechnology, CSIR and WHO. The Centre provides essential treatment at AIIMS outreach centres at Mid-town Rotary Hospital at Trilokpuri, and CRHSP, Ballabhgarh. The Centre was the Nodal agency for National Oral Health Care Programme (1999-2005).
The Centre was given the status of National Centre of Excellence for Implementation of National Oral Health Program in February 2014 and WHO CC for Oral Health Promotion in May 2014. The faculty from the Centre have been instrumental in development of operational guidelines for National Oral Health Program, Regional Oral Health Strategy, Draft National Oral Health Policy and guidelines for dental screening under Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK).
As part of National Oral Health Program, CDER has also developed a web portal and app named EDantSeva for use as informative and educative electronic resource for public on oral health issues as well as data for dental. Professionals.
The faculty from the Centre is providing leadership role in various technical and professional organizations at key positions and are publishing a significant number of scientific articles in journals of repute.

I am particularly interested in the diagnostics of lung cancer, especially to explore the possibility of developing reliable screening tools and early diagnostic markers. I am also working on quality of life measures of lung cancer and COPD. I have been independently performing fiberoptic bronchoscopies since almost four years, and have done more than 300 procedures till date. I also perform transbronchial needle aspirations for diagnostic purposes. In addition, I routinely perform other pulmonary diagnostic procedures such as ultrasound guided needle aspirations and trucut biopsies of lung masses, as well as pleural biopsies. I propose to gain expertise in and initiate techniques of interventional bronchology in my Institution.

Surgeries performed range from simple office hysteroscopy to operative hysteroscopy and diagnostic minilaparoscopy to all major laparoscopic surgeries including malignancies. Around 150-170 endoscopic surgeries are performed in each month. Minimally invasive surgeries offer various advantages to patients like reduced pain, less bleeding, shorter hospital stay and early postoperative recovery. Patients undergoing diagnostic procedures are discharged after two hours of the procedure and those undergoing operative procedures are usually discharged on the second or third day of surgery depending upon the surgical procedures. We keep ourselves updated with the latest research and regularly conduct workshops and CMEs. Various research studies are done every year pertaining to minimally invasive gynae surgery. The division is being credited with more than 200 publications in indexed national and international journals.

3rd – Live Surgical Workshop on 2024 TOET International Transoral Endoscopic & Thyroid Course, 2nd – 6th April, 2024, Dr. Ramalingaswami Board Room, AIIMS, New Delhi.
7 prefabricated modular OTs dedicated to the Orthopaedics department, one of its kind in the country with latest technology installed to give highest standard of care to the patients with aesthetic touch to make patient feel calm and comfortable inside the OT complex. This complex also consists of a meeting Room with Live Transmission of surgeries for teaching and demonstration. It also has slim high-end operation theatre lights with 4k camera and 4k recording facility, with a live feed to auditorium, conference hall and consultants' room have been installed.
Bone banks are necessary for providing biological material for a series of orthopaedic procedures. It’s a brainchild and established by Prof Rajesh Malhotra, Head Dept of Orthopaedics and Chief, JPNATC, AIIMS, Delhi. Presently, the dept of Orthopaedics is conducting various training programs to establish bone bank in other parts of the country to cater to the regional population.
Increased life expectancy and joint replacement in ever-younger patients because of expanded indication has in turn increased the numbers of revision procedures over recent decades. In these revision procedures, patients often present with bone losses due to different reasons and replacement of the bone stock will benefit the patients, if this becomes necessary.
Structural bone graft from bone bank also useful in the management of Orthopaedic malignancy, spine surgery and various orthopaedic procedures where bone stock is compromised.
A special modern equipment which allows visualisation of bone, joint and spine in multiple plains thus allowing to perform complex deformity correction of limb and also safe screw fixation in spine surgery especially among children.
First time robotic spine surgeries will be performed in the dept of Orthopaedics, AIIMS, Delhi, a procedure in which robotic arm will allow surgeon to perform spine surgeries in a more precise, faster and minimally invasive manner.
EOS imaging facility installed in the Dept of Orthopaedics, AIIMS, Delhi is first in the country, the EOS Low dose biplanar imaging has been introduced which delivers relatively low dose of radiation (50-80 per cent less than conventional X-rays) that the patient receives while allowing a 3D reconstruction of bones. This is more helpful in understanding the complex association deformities like spinopelvic deformity while performing THA in ankylosed (fused) hips.
It helps in providing additional information about the status of nerve in real time and help to maintain nerve integrity, neural pathways and brain function, thus contributing to clinical risk management and the reduction of neurological impairment during surgical procedures especially during complex spine surgeries.
Gait analysis is used to assess and treat individuals with conditions affecting their ability to walk. Sensor markers placed over patients while they are asked to walk on designated area or treadmill and the motion is captured by the camera system installed in the lab. A model is applied to calculate the movement of the underlying bones. This gives a complete breakdown of the movement of each joint.
Gait analysis is used to analyze the walking ability of humans and can be used for various diagnostic and or prognostic modalities with respect to gait disorders. It has tremendous application for training and rehabilitation of an athlete. It can be also used in the assessment of biomechanics of native joint or after joint replacement procedures to understand and to analyze the gait of the patients.
A new 3D printing technology which can be used inside the human body is offering hope to revision joint replacement, trauma and cancer patients who need bone replacements surgeries. This emerging field aims for the treatment of bone disease. The design and development of the medical implants, tool, instrument and devices are easily possible by using this technology.
Rural Services - The department provides a comprehensive OPD & OT ENT services at the Primary Health Centre at Ballabhgarh, Haryana and once a week services at Centre for speech and hearing disabled at Gurgaon, Haryana
The cochlear implantation (CI) program was started in All India Institute of Medical Sciences in 1996 under the chairmanship of Prof.RC Deka and the first adult patient was successfully operated upon in February 1997. Soon, the department started the Children Program in 1998. Till now (Feb 2020), we have performed more than 1000 cochlear implant surgeries in adults and children. The department has provided support in starting a cochlear implant program in R.R. Hospital, Central Railway Hospital in New Delhi, and also PGIMER in Chandigarh.
A cochlear implant is an electronic device that restores partial hearing to the deaf. It is the only treatment option available for patients with bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss if there is no benefit with hearing aids.
A cochlear implant is surgically implanted in the ear and activated by a device worn behind the ear. It converts sound to electrical impulses. These impulses are then transmitted via hearing nerve to the brain. The device bypasses damaged parts of the auditory system (hair cells of the cochlea) and directly stimulates the nerve of hearing, allowing individuals who are profoundly hearing-impaired to perceive sound.
Cochlear implants have two parts - a. External (outside) parts that include a microphone, a speech processor, and a transmitter. b. Internal (surgically implanted) parts - a receiver-stimulating system fixed to the skull bone behind the ear and electrodes which are inserted into the cochlea
The microphone picks up sounds and sends them to the speech processor. The speech processor analyzes and digitizes the sound signals and sends them to a transmitter worn on the side of the head just behind the ear. The transmitter sends the coded signals to an implanted receiver. The receiver in turn delivers them to the array of electrodes that stimulate the fibers of the auditory nerve directly. The auditory nerve transmits this information to the brain where it is interpreted as meaningful sound and thus the implanted person starts learning language and speech communication skills.

A cochlear implant is surgically implanted in the ear and activated by a device worn behind the ear. It converts sound to electrical impulses. These impulses are then transmitted via hearing nerve to the brain. The device bypasses damaged parts of the auditory system (hair cells of the cochlea) and directly stimulates the nerve of hearing, allowing individuals who are profoundly hearing-impaired to perceive sound.
An implant team consisting of Otolaryngologist, Audiologist, Radiologist, Pediatric Neurologist, Clinical Psychologist and Speech Therapist does the clinical and other laboratory assessment before planning for surgery. Implant surgery is performed under general anesthesia and lasts from two to three hours. The procedure requires a stay in the hospital for 7 to 10 days.
The postoperative rehabilitation will be done by the rehabilitation team consisting of Otolaryngologist, Audiologist and Speech Therapist. Parents’ participation in the training is of paramount importance and one of the parents has to learn the therapy to train the child at home. When the surgical wound is well healed (usually 3 to 4 weeks after surgery) the cochlear implant is activated (switch-on) and a MAP is created using computer based software. The subsequent mapping sessions are individually tailored as per the progress made by the patient. The short and long term goals are set for listening and then language and speech. The therapist teaches the child to listen to the sound that is received from the cochlear implant and helps them in the developing effective spoken communication, leading to development of language and speech.
Cochlear implants do not restore normal hearing, and benefits vary from one individual to another. The implantees are expected to hear and/or recognize sounds/speech and learn language through the auditory input with the help of a cochlear implant. In children, 4-5 years of intensive training is needed.

Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, AIIMS, New Delhi organized a Workshop in association with International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC), in Technology Hall, CMET on 17th of March, 2018. The Workshop focused on concept of Dignified Management of Dead, providing comfort to grieved relatives, relevant forensic issues affecting the living etc. The aim of the Workshop was to increase awareness, knowledge, sensitization and responsiveness particularly among Forensic Medicine experts working in Delhi.
The event started with registration of delegates and the welcome address was delivered by Head of the Department, Dr Sudhir K Gupta followed by the National Anthem. In the Inauguration ceremony, the following dignitaries were on the dais and also addressed the delegates:
Dr. Uwom O. Eze (Regional Forensic Coordinator, ICRC) discussed about “ICRC Humanitarian Forensic Action”. Dr Bipin B. Chaudhary, DCP, Homeguards, deliberated about “Police Perspective” towards Humanitarian Forensic Action. This was followed by High Tea, after which the Delegates were assembled into different workgroups to deliberate and discuss the Humanitarian aspects of Forensic Medicine practice for future guidelines, operational aspects and capacity building.

The role of Forensic Medicine experts is not limited only to complete postmortem examination and routine medicolegal duties. The concept of humanitarian approach such as Dignified Management of Dead, providing comfort to grieved relatives, relevant forensic issues affecting the living etc are very relevant considering socio-cultural realities of the society but are often neglected in the day to day duties of a Forensic expert. Keeping this relevant but neglected aspect in mind, an initial step was envisaged by Dr Sudhir K Gupta, Professor and Head and Dr Uwom Eze, Forensic Coordinator, ICRC.
A Symposium was held on 29/08/2018 to increase awareness, knowledge, sensitization and responsiveness particularly among young Forensic Medicine experts who are the future of this country. This symposium was a joint venture of AIIMS & International Committee of Red Cross (India) with vision and aim to discuss the Humanitarian aspects of Forensic Medicine practice for future guidelines and a roadmap, and also discussing the operational aspects and capacity building, with your active collaboration as a stakeholder.
The event started with registration of delegates. The event was formally inaugurated by Dr Sudhir K Gupta, Professor & Head of the Department. The following speakers addressed the delegates:
This was followed by an interactive session with all the participants, where all deliberated and discussed about the Humanitarian aspects of Forensic Medicine practice for future guidelines, operational aspects and capacity building. The vote of thanks was given by Dr Abhishek Yadav (Asst Professor).
The event was co-ordinated by Dr Kulbhushan Prasad (Asst Prof), Dr Abhishek Yadav (Asst Professor), Dr Antara Deb Barma (Senior resident), Dr Swati Tyagi (Senior Resident) along with the support of other resident doctors and staff of the Department. Dr Prashanth Bhagvath coordinated the event from ICRC side. The Workshop was followed by Lunch for all delegates.

The department is very keen on developing Indian solutions to Indian problems. Most of the research conducted in the department is aimed at this goal. A weekly research meeting is used as a means to assess the progress in this area.
The ongoing research projects include:
We have started a programme to try and set up a clinical liver transplantation facility at the AIIMS. Regular liver transplantation journal clubs are held every week and experimental as well as clinical liver transplants are carried out as and when it is feasible or the donor is available
Journal Publication The department faculty are actively involved in the publication of The National Medical Journal of India', Tropical Gastroenterology' both of which are indexed journals and "GI Surgery Annual' which is in its twelfth year of publication.
Patients admitted for certain investigations and invasive radiological interventions are provided day-care facilities
Emergency referrals from other hospitals with the following conditions:
Gastrointestinal bleeding: variceal and non-variceal
The department has a 8-bedded ICU in D6 ward which is fully staffed with nursing, physiotherapy and paraclinical staff. It is equipped to provide invasive/non-invasive ventilatory support, critical care and hemodynamic monitoring and care for the comatose patient. Apart from the nursing staff, the ICU is manned by two Senior Residents on 24- hour duty, supported by another Senior Resident on cover duty. Supervision of ICU functioning is done on a daily basis by the Faculty on call. Patients undergoing elective/emergency surgery are managed postoperatively in the ICU for initial 48-72 hours before being moved to the general ward depending upon the clinical recovery and magnitude of the surgery.
The Department was instrumental in getting the Transplantation of Human Organs Act passed in 1994. The first orthotopic liver transplantation was done in January 1996. Since then we have developed a clinical liver transplantation facility at the AIIMS. Currently the focus is on performing deceased donor liver transplantation. Joint Multi-disciplinary Meetings (GI Surgery, Gastroenterology, Anaesthesiology, Paediatric surgery, Psychiatry) are held on a regular basis for listing prospective recipients (1st and 3rd Friday of every month). Within the department we have designated Donor and Recipient teams. Transplantation journal clubs are held every week and clinical deceased-donor orthotopic liver transplants are carried out as and when deceased donors become available. Once transplantation is done the patient is managed in Special Isolation HDU in D6 ward with dedicated nursing and 24-hr Resident support.
Our department is running regular OPD on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday. A stoma care clinic as well as a dietician clinic is also run on the same days.
Schedule:

Evaluation of vitreous humour as a bio matrix for the quantification of drugs and chemicals in postmortem forensic investigation.
We are providing service for disputed paternity test referred by Police and Court only.
Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology is having well established Toxicology laboratory for doing analysis of following tests.
Toxicology laboratory is equipped with the following major sophisticated analytical equipments for day today work.
Toxicology laboratory regularly provides short term and long term training to the students from India and abroad. Laboratory also supports research work for M.D. and Ph.D.students
A state of the art digital radiological unit, first of its kind in the country has been established at the AIIMS mortuary. It is the first step of the Department towards the goal of Virtual Autopsy, the technique in which the cause of death is decided without the dissection of the body with the help of radiological investigations. Virtual autopsy (virtopsy) is a new concept and involves a full-body computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging examination to obtain two-dimensional and three-dimensional documentation. It has been proposed as an alternative to conventional autopsy in cases when the next of kin oppose or do not want the body to be dissected and as a complementary tool for better visualization of postmortem findings.
The digital X-ray unit is being used in the department as a powerful tool in the postmortem examination. It can detect even the minute fractures invisible to the naked eye. The cutting edge technology is less time consuming and promises to be a boon for interpreting findings from imaging studies to aid in Medicolegal Investigations. Radiological studies are instrumental in autopsy cases involving the location of foreign bodies within the body (i.e., bullets, gas emboli) and other mechanical injuries.
Age estimation in both living and dead is being conducted by the digital X-rays. Age estimation of the living as well as of cadavers relies heavily on data regarding growth and developmental stages of the individual as obtained from dental and skeletal radiographs. Identification is one of the usefulness of the digital X-ray which is worth mentioning. Antemortem and postmortem radiographic comparison is a routinely adopted procedure in the identification of unknown human remains. The use of radiographs in routine and mass disaster identification has long been in effect.
The digital X-ray unit is maintained by a Radiographer under a Faculty Incharge. The facility has computerized record keeping which expedites the retrieval of individual x-ray films. The radiographs can be sent in the soft copy for further consultation.
The Forensic Histopathology Laboratory primarily deal in processing the samples of medico legal cases which comes under the jurisdiction of AIIMS i.e. south and southeast district of Delhi. Besides these, Academic samples of thesis of M.D. Doctors and Ph D students are also processed in the laboratory.
The department is providing embalming services in medicolegal cases required for transportation of dead body to faraway places in India and abroad. It is also done to preserve bodies for future dissection/teaching purpose. In rare occasions the embalming is done on the dead body of important personality for public view.
A charge of INR 8000/- in cash only, is to be deposited in the Hospital Cash Counter. If the cash counter is unable to receive the payment due to any technical problem then the charges are collected by the staff in charge of mortuary before the embalming procedure. A receipt of cash payment is handed over to the relatives. The staff shall deposit the amount on the next working day at Accounts section and obtain the original receipt.
Round the clock supervision of Casualty is maintained for imparting Expert Opinion (medicolegal services) in requisite cases belonging to jurisdiction of South and South East Delhi. These include cases of injury, sexual offences, poisoning and other complicated medico-legal cases. The department is attending all the calls pertaining to medical examination in police & judicial custody.
The Department of Forensic Medicine conducts the Medicolegal Examination of accused of sexual assault. The Jurisdiction of the cases dealt in the department is the same as that of the Postmortem Cases i.e. South and Southeast District of Delhi.
AIIMS caters to the jurisdiction of all police stations under south and south-east districts of Delhi which include magistrate inquest cases, board cases and exhumation cases. There are two mortuaries – one at main hospital and other at Trauma centre.
The Department provides medico-legal postmortem services on all days of the week during normal working hours i.e. Monday to Friday: 9AM to 5PM and on Saturdays: 9AM to 1PM. The services are also provided on Sunday from 9AM to 1PM.
The Department of Forensic Medicine provides the Mortuary services and preserves dead bodies under the following situations:
The department is actively engaged in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching activities. Currently eight postgraduate students and five PhD students are enrolled in the department. The department is also imparting short-term/Long-term training in Toxicology & DNA Fingerprinting to B.Sc./M.Sc students of other universities from all over the country. The departmental faculty also imparts education by giving guest lectures to allied personnel’s like Doctors, Judges, Police Officials, Forensic Scientists through various agencies like NICFS, NIHFW, CDTS, CBI, NIA.

Nuclear Medicine is a branch of medical science where radionuclides are used for diagnosis and treatment of human diseases. The discovery of artificial radioactivity and the development of nuclear reactors and particle accelerators have played a significant role in radiotracer technology. Organ/tissue-specific compounds, known as radiopharmaceuticals, are administered to the patient for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Nuclear medicine imaging and non-imaging procedures provide important information about the functional status of the body organs. Radiotracer technology made it possible to define disease in terms of physiology and biochemistry rather than anatomy or histopathology. Radioactive tracers of glucose, fatty acids, amino acids, etc. make it possible to examine the physiological and pathological aspects of the organs of the body, the regeneration and repair when injured, and the response to drugs. Advances in molecular biology have made a dramatic impact on the practice of medicine. This has led to the birth of “Molecular Nuclear Medicine”. Studies with receptor-based radiopharmaceuticals provide insight into the biochemical processes of proteins as they carry out instructions from genetic coding. The advent of hybrid imaging techniques such as single photon emission tomography-computed tomography (SPECT/CT) and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) permits 3D reconstruction of imaging data with high accuracy and anatomical localization of abnormal lesions in the body. We have three SPECT/CT Scanners and three dedicated Gamma Cameras, two PET/CT systems, and one 11 MeV Cyclotron in the department.
Radionuclides are also used for the therapy of malignant and non-malignant conditions. A lot of progress has taken place over the past few years in therapeutic nuclear medicine. With the use of suitable radiopharmaceuticals, targeted therapy is also possible. The department routinely performs several radionuclide therapies (both outpatient and inpatient) related to thyroid disorders, joint disorders, various cancers, etc.
Department of nephrology started in 1969 initially as a unit of department of medicine. Dr. Awasthi working in the department of medicine set-up dialysis unit around 1970 and first hemodialysis was done on 5th Aug 1971. However, the renal clinic already existed since 27th Oct 1969. Professor KK Malhotra was first faculty looking after the nephrology unit of the department of medicine after returning from USA. Thereafter, Prof. Ramesh Kumar joined in 1973. Before that in April 1972, first renal transplant was already done in the department. Subsequently, faculty in the unit of nephrology was Prof. SC Dash, who joined the nephrology on 25th March 1977 followed by Prof. SC Tiwari in September 1980.
In early days, nephrology was in a building called ‘old operation theatre’ block, where ward was on first floor (without a lift) and dialysis unit was on ground floor. Department shifted in main hospital block just before Dipawali in 1987 on 4th floor when neurosurgery shifted from 4th floor to ‘CN Center’. Recently department was renovated to match with a private set-up hospital with a teaching hospital expertise. Initially there were two types of resident in nephrology, one who were coming from medicine and other who were joining nephrology directly. In the earlier period resident joining nephrology directly were doing Diplomate Board of Nephrology through National Board of Examination.
In 1989 department of nephrology was created with two faculty and D.M. in nephrology was started in 1992. In 1989 Prof. SK Agarwal joined the separated department as adhoc faculty and then continued as regular faculty since 1991. Subsequently four more faculty members, Dr. Sanjeev Saxena, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Dr. D Bhowmik and Dr. S Mahajan joined the department, while Prof. KK Malhotra, Prof. Ramesh Kumar, Prof. SC Dash and Prof. SC Tiwari and Prof.SK. Agarwal left the department following retirement (Voluntary or otherwise) or resignation. Dr Soumita Bagchi, Dr RK Yadav and Dr Arunkumar S joined the department as faculty members during the next few years. Currently, department has five faculty and thirteen senior resident strength. It has nine regular hemodialysis stations, four isolation hemodialysis stations, and two acute intermittent peritoneal dialysis beds. It provides one of best nephrology care for it’s all aspect, to patients of all socioeconomic background in a public sector hospital set-up including plasmapheresis, CRRT, SLED etc on a much subsidized cost. Currently department is doing nearly 140 renal transplant per year; majority being living related and also cadaver renal transplant.
Department of Microbiology was established in the year 1957 with Prof. S.L. Kalra, Prof. Ghosh Ray and Prof. L.N. Mohapatra as founder members. Prof. S. Balaya founded Virology; Prof. S.

Welcome to the future of Diagnostics…..!!!
The Department of Hospital Administration, AIIMS, is the pioneering department in India which started the post graduate Master’s Degree in Hospital Administration, popularly known as MHA. It is the oldest Department providing teaching and training to the country’s Hospital managers in the “science and art” of Hospital Administration and Management. The department introduced the specialty of Hospital Administration in the country in the year 1962, and has since evolved into a “center of excellence” for teaching, training and research in the field of Hospital Administration and Management in the country. Alumni from the Department have held high positions in various Institutions of repute in both public and private sector Hospitals/Colleges and Defence organizations.
In the year 1961, Dr. J.R. Mc Gibony, Consultant to the World Health Organisation (WHO) for the field of Hospital Administration, recommended the introduction of Hospital Administration as a separate specialty like any other broad specialty of medical sciences. With this initiative in 1961-62, a comprehensive programme and syllabus for Post Graduate course in Hospital Administration was drafted. One Post Graduate student, an Indian doctor from the University of New South Wales, Australia was admitted to serve his Administrative Residency at AIIMS. The Australian student completed his thesis and MD in Hospital Administration in 1962-63. The course in Hospital Administration was formally approved in 1963-64 and a full fledged Department of Hospital Administration was started in 1966 under the pioneership of Brig (Dr.) Gaind, the then Medical Superintendent, for the first time in India. The erstwhile MHA (Master in Hospital Administration) course was officially started in February, 1966 and was recognized as a distinct post-graduate discipline by the Medical Council of India, in consonance with the AIIMS Act 1956. It is the precursor to MD (Hospital Administration) course in the country which started in late 1970’s.
The Department of Hospital Administration occupies pride of place in managing Hospital operations in the Main Hospital and Centers of AIIMS, which has resulted in the “Kayakalp” award for tertiary care institutions being won by AIIMS, New Delhi every time, since it’s inception in 2015. Faculty members of the department are handling independent charge of hospital administration at the Medical Superintendent/Additional Medical Superintendent level in various ‘centers’ of the Institute. They are responsible for management of various ancillary and support services, medical records, human resource management, procurement and supply chain management, and handling legal and ethical issues at respective centers and main hospital. They are also co-ordinating new projects at AIIMS including the AIIMS Re-development Project, and looking after administrative areas of the Institute. The department also regularly organizes training programme for all categories of Hospital staff on various aspects of hospital administration and managerial development for better functioning. In addition, the department runs 24 hours Administrative Control Rooms at Main Hospital, J.P.N.A.T.C and NCI, Jhajjar, a unique concept which functions as an extension of the Medical Superintendent’s office after office hours.
The department is actively involved and strongly committed to capacity building and human resources development in hospital administration at national and international stages. Being the pioneer in starting a post-graduate teaching program in the speciality of Hospital Administration in the 1960s, the unique concepts started here have become the standard norm/template for setting up such Departments in Medical Colleges. The concept of “Administrative Control Room” has also been adopted by erstwhile Medical Council of India as a mandatory requirement for starting MD Hospital Administration courses in other Medical Colleges in India.
The Department also provides guidelines for developing courses and curricula for starting organization specific training courses in the field of hospital administration to various public sector and private institutions in the country. WHO fellows and Senior Doctors from various neighboring countries are imparted short and long term trainings on hospital management in the department. A series of Healthcare Executive Management Development Programs have been conducted by the department for senior hospital administrators and top level hospital management personnel from India and abroad during last 2 decades. The Department has organized more than 50 workshops, Seminars/Conferences during last few decades.
The department provides consultancy on diverse areas like Newer Healthcare Facility Planning & Management, Healthcare Registries Planning and Innovation, Healthcare Human Resources Management, Disaster Management, Hospital Equipment Planning and Management and Healthcare Financing and Insurance Product Development as and when requested by Public sector organisations, State Governments, Ministries of Central Govt. It is also involved in the development of standards for different categories of hospitals along with BIS, NQAS, NABH and acting as a Think-Tank for the preparation of National Healthcare Policy Guidelines.
The department runs a 3 years post graduate (MD) course in hospital administration from Jan-2016 leading to award of degree of MD(HA) for both “sponsored” and “open” category candidates. Resident Administrators are posted in various areas of the Hospital and centers for a period of 3-4 months to observe and understand the functioning of the ward/service area. They are also posted in the Control Room “round the clock” as Duty Officers, and coordinate various hospital activities. They also assist the faculty in “hands-on” management of various hospital activities, and, in turn, gain valuable experience of hospital management. They have to complete one research study (thesis) on suitable topic related to hospital administration, after approval of Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC), and four dissertations, at least one of which has to be published in a “peer reviewed” and indexed journal during this tenure. The MD program has formative and summative assessments for holistic assessment of candidates undertaking the course. The term end (final) Examination comprises of 4 Theory papers, and Practical Exams, usually held in the months of May and December respectively. Our alumni have held top administrative positions in various organizations of national and international importance. Many of them are also serving as independent consultants in Hospital Administration in the corporate sector.
Admission to the MD(HA) programme is through a competitive exam (INI-SS) conducted twice a year by Exam Section, AIIMS. An advertisement is placed in national dailies in the month of August and January for sessions beginning December and July respectively. Potential candidates are expected to have up to date knowledge of Medico-legal issues, Public Health, National Health Programs, and general awareness about issues pertaining to hospital and health sector. For details of admission procedure, form etc.
Various long and short term trainings are provided to Faculty members/Medical Officers from other Govt Medical Colleges/ Military and Paramilitary services/ State Govt Health services who are handling administrative responsibilities under following categories
1. Short Term Trainings upto period of six months
2. Long Term Trainings : 6 months to 2 years
3. Training to Foreign Nationals and WHO fellows

Information on latest developments in education and research :
A proposal was made in 1980 to establish a Department of Gastrointestinal (GI) Surgery at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences. This department would perform only complicated GI operations which were not usually done elsewhere in the country, train surgeons from other parts of the country and do research into Indian GI surgical problems. The department was created as a unit of the Department of Surgery in May 1985. In September 1989 it was given full departmental status. The department is now established and has trained a large number of surgeons to set up GI surgical departments in India and abroad. In pursuance of the objectives of the department an MCh course was started in 1994 and in 1997 the first batch completed their course. The main fields of specialization of the department are portal hypertension, hepato-pancreato-biliary diseases, hepatic venous outflow obstruction, ulcerative colitis, gastrointestinal haemorrhage and oesophageal diseases and liver transplantation. Its main thrust is on providing a high quality of patient care, training of residents, good record keeping, research publications and research into Indian diseases. The department has its own 8 bed intensive care unit (ICU) with ventilators, cardiac monitors; blood gas and electrolyte management facility. All patient records are computerized. The department faculty are actively involved in the publication of 'The National Medical Journal of India', ‘Tropical Gastroenterology' both of which are indexed journals and the ‘GI Surgery Annual' which is in its 26th year of publication.
In 1990 it was felt that the field of liver transplantation should be developed by the department. This required the law on brain death to be amended. The Department took a lead in this field and in 1994 The Transplantation of Human Organs Act was passed by the Indian Parliament. Following this attempts are in progress to establish a liver transplant program in India.
Apart from other activities, the department has developed indigenous medical equipment. An anorectal manometric system to evaluate anorectal function has been successfully developed and is being commercially marketed. Oesophageal manometry and continuous pH monitoring systems to diagnose gastro-oesophageal reflux disease have been developed and technology transfer of this equipment is in progress. The department has also developed a rapid blood and fluid infusion system and is currently working on a cheap low flow infusion system. A peritoneovenous shunt, has been successfully devised and marketed.
So far more than 100 surgeons have received either short or long term training in the department. The department has pioneered the establishment of a new surgical superspeciality in India the need for which is being realized nationwide in both the private and public sectors. We strive hard to ensure that the department continues to serve as a role model in this field.
The Department of Gastroenterology at All India Institute of Medical Sciences was started in the year 1971 with an aim to create qualified gastroenterologists for the country. Prof BN Tandon was instrumental in creating the department of Gastroenterology at All India Institute of Medical Sciences. He was the first head of this department and continued to lead it until his retirement on 31st Aug 1991. Thereafter, Dr. Rakesh Tandon was Prof. & Head of Gastroenterology from 1991 to 31st Dec 2002, Dr. MP Sharma was the Prof. & Head of Gastroenterology from 1st Jan 2003 to 30th April 2004, Dr. SK Acharya from 1st May 2004 to 31st Oct 2016, Prof Umesh Kapil from 01 Nov 2016 to Feb 10, 2017 and Prof. Anoop Saraya from Feb 11, 2017 to 31st Dec 2023. Currently, Prof Pramod Garg is heading the department from 01 Jan 2024.
By now, the department has produced 121 DM students in Gastroenterology. At present, the chiefs of Gastroenterology in major institutions of the country are alumni of the department of Gastroenterology at AIIMS. Since, the inception of this department it has provided state of the art services and provided training to many physicians in specific areas like luminal gastroenterology, liver diseases and endoscopy.
The department has been consistently ranked as the Best Department of Gastroenterology in India for many years in surveys conducted by leading News Weeklies. In Dec 2011 department was awarded as the Best Department of Gastroenterology in India at the CNBC TV18 India Healthcare Awards.

Globally, life expectancy has increased by 25 years since 1950. Healthy older individuals contribute positively to society in many ways, and the World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes enabling them to continue doing what they enjoy for as long as possible.
India is undergoing a rapid demographic shift, with a rising number of senior citizens. Life expectancy in India has increased significantly, from 32 years at the time of independence in 1947 to over 70 years today. This phenomenon of population aging has profound implications for society, particularly the healthcare system. Older adults require financial security, emotional and social support, and—most critically—regular access to effective and affordable healthcare.
Recognizing these challenges, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) took an early initiative by establishing a weekly geriatric clinic in 1993, which was later upgraded to a daily service in August 2010. This marked the foundation for the development of a dedicated Department of Geriatric Medicine. Under the visionary leadership of Prof. (Dr.) A B Dey, a separate academic department was established in January 2012. The department admitted its first batch of MD students in the same year and opened a dedicated Geriatric Medicine ward in July 2012. Over time, the department expanded its clinical services to provide holistic care, integrating physiotherapy, counseling, dietary services, and a specialized Memory Clinic for dementia patients.
The department has also been at the forefront of research and innovation in aging-related fields. It has established a dedicated departmental research laboratory and has contributed to multiple national and international research projects. Key areas of research include dementia, sarcopenia, longevity, superagers, centenarians, and assistive devices for older adults.
The Department of Geriatric Medicine at AIIMS is a WHO Collaborating Centre (CC) for Healthy Ageing in India, playing a crucial role in developing strategies and policies to promote healthy aging across the country. This recognition underscores the department’s leadership in geriatric healthcare, education, and research at both national and global levels.
Today, the Department of Geriatric Medicine operates from the National Centre for Ageing (NCA) at AIIMS, New Delhi, offering comprehensive outpatient, inpatient, and ICU services for older adults. The NCA serves as a hub for geriatric clinical care, medical education, and research, training undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral students while conducting cutting-edge studies in geriatrics and gerontology.
Looking ahead, the department remains committed to advancing the field of geriatric medicine, fostering innovation, and strengthening India's healthcare system to meet the evolving needs of its aging population.

CENTRE FOR ADVANCED RESERACH AND EXCELLENCE IN VIRTUAL AUTOPSY
STANDARD GUIDELINES FOR DIGNIFIED AUTOPSY IN COVID-19 DEATHS
The Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology started functioning in year 1957. Later Prof. Jagdish Chandra joined as Lecturer and was designated as Head of Department. Medicolegal postmortem work was started from year 1968. At present, apart from routine medico-legal works, department is engaged in multifarious activities of teaching, training and research. It is involved in medico-legal postmortems, Clinical Forensic medicine Services & court related works. Department is providing expert opinions in referred cases from courts, National Human Rights Commission, CBI, Crime Branch, Delhi Police and Investigating agencies from other states. The department is running various laboratory services like Forensic histopathology laboratory, Toxicology laboratory and DNA laboratory.
Dr Sudhir K Gupta has taken the charge of Professor and Head of Department since August 2013 and has introduced new innovative developments like Embalming facility in public interest. His long term plan is to develop Cadaveric Training Centre, Cadaver organ/tissue retrieval and processing Centre, Odourless Autopsy suite, Virtual Dissection-less autopsy, Forensic Molecular Biology unit, One stop crisis center for survivors of Sexual assault and Therapeutic transplantation Centre from brain dead in future. Clinical toxicology and antidote banking for treatment of poisoning cases is also being envisaged.
Forensic Anthropology laboratory, first of its kind in the country, is being developed in the department. It will be well-equipped as per international standards and will act as quality training centre and provide mentor facility for whole country.
The Department is planning to set up a facility which could manage approximately 1000 dead bodies simultaneously and will have all the necessary infrastructural, manpower, resources, residential and transportation facilities related to Forensic Human Identification related to any disaster and Dignified Management of the Dead. At present there is no such single centre nationwide which could handle the management of dead efficiently as a unified centre in case of a mass disaster. The High-throughput design will encompass all aspects of the management of the dead, starting from recovery of the bodies to final burial rites, including support to the affected families and communities. The setting up of such facility will require a significant amount of time, until which additional facility for handling of 100 bodies in a case of disaster will be established along with the present mortuary set-up.
Endocrinology started at AIIMS in 1964 under the leadership of Prof. MMS Ahuja as a subspecialty of internal medicine. It acquired the status of a department in 1986. The department has excellent facilities for patient care education and research. It has done pioneering work in the field of Diabetes, thyroid, metabolic bone disease, pediatric and adolescent endocrinology.

Clinical services are available in general pediatric surgery with thrust areas in the field of gastro-intestinal surgery, urology, thoracic surgery, plastic surgery, endocrine surgery, neonatal surgery, neurosurgery and oncology.
Facilities for therapeutic and diagnostic endoscopic procedures of the oesophagus, tracheo-bronchial tree and genito-urinary tract are also available.
The department has the following laboratory facilities :
The department has admitting facilities for 35 children in the 6B Ward Pediatric Surgery in Mother and Child Block, 8 neonatal surgical cases in the neonatal surgical ICU (AB-5 ICU) and 4 Emergency beds in Paediatric Surgery (AB-5 Ward). The neonatal surgical ICU is fully equipped with vital signs monitors, conventional neonatal ventilators, high frequency ventilator and other necessary equipment for neonatal care. One senior resident and a junior resident are available round the clock in the ward and one senior resident in the neonatal ICU for patient care and emergency services.
The facilities for routine pre-operative and post-operative care of surgical patients, ventilatory care, parenteral nutrition and chemotherapy are provided by the resident staff. Due to the shortage of staff and the indoor beds, most of the time, only the serious and indexed cases find admissions in the ward. The waiting list is long and may run for years.
The department conducts 2 OTs per day in main Operating Theatre (2 nd Floor – Mother and Child Block). In addition, conducts operations at the extension center in Ballabgarh on Wednesdays.
The department is a training center for pediatric surgery towards the degree of M.Ch.(Pediatric Surgery) which is recognized by the Medical Council of India (MCI). Surgical training is conducted in the fields of pediatric gastro-intestinal surgery, urology, thoracic surgery, plastic surgery, endocrine surgery, neonatal surgery, neurosurgery, minimal access surgery, oncology, therapeutic and diagnostic endoscopic procedures of the oesophagus, tracheo-bronchial tree and genito-urinary tract.
There are two kinds of training programmes being conducted in the department. A 3-year course and a 6-year course. During both these courses the candidate has to work on and submit two dissertations (one clinical and one experimental) towards partial fulfillment for the degree of M.Ch.
For the 3-year course a candidate has to have a MS in General Surgery (MCI recognized) and the enrollment is vacancy based through a competitive examination conducted by AIIMS for DM/MCh courses. Selected candidates for the 3-year course are treated as academic senior residents during their tenure and they are eligible to take the M.Ch. examination at the end of three years.
For the 6-year comprehensive course the candidate has to have an M.B.B.S degree (MCI recognized) and two candidates are enrolled every year in January and July through the AIIMS PG entrance examination. In the 6-year course, for the first three years the candidate is a junior resident while in the remaining 3 years he/she is an academic senior resident. In this course the candidate is eligible to take the M.Ch. examination at the end of five years but the sixth year is compulsory and is treated as senior residency. During the three years of junior residency of the 6-year course the candidate has to successfully complete 6 months in pediatric surgery and 1-year rotation in allied specialties (9 months general surgery, 2 months orthopedic surgery and 1 month neurosurgery) before he/she is allowed to continue with the course. In addition in both the courses the candidates have to successfully complete 2 months of rotation posting in pediatrics.
In addition to the above seats, the department has provision to admit three sponsored candidates - those sponsored by state health services, armed forces etc. At any given time the department has a maximum strength of 9 senior residents and three junior residents. Further, the department also trains junior residents on rotation from M.S. general surgery and M.Ch. neurosurgery courses and senior residents from the D.M. neonatology course. Observers and trainees from other pediatric surgical departments from India and abroad also visit the department for varying periods after obtaining the due permission from the academic section, AIIMS.
The faculty of the department takes regular instructional lectures for M.B.B.S. and B.Sc. (Nursing) students and participates in guest lectures, CME’s and symposia conducted by other scientific organizations and institutions in India and abroad. From time to time the department organizes guest lectures, symposia, seminars and live operative workshops, as a part of ongoing CME programmes.
The Department of Paediatric Surgery was created as an independent Department in 1969 with Dr. P.upadhyaya as the first Head of Department. Thereafter the department was headed by Prof. M. Rohatgi (1987-1993) and then Prof. D.K.Mitra (1993-2004). The current Head of the Department, Prof. M. Bajpai took charge in 2018. Under his leadership, Dr. Vishesh Jain, Dr. Prapudh Goel, Dr. Anjan Dhua and Dr. Devendra Kumar Yadav have joined the Department as Assistant Professors in 2014 and are currently working in the capacity of Additional Professors. Dr. Ajay Verma in 2020, Dr. Sachit Anand and Dr. Divya Gali in 2023 are the youngest to join the ranks of faculty and are holding the post of Assistant Professor.
It is first time in the history of AIIMS, New Delhi that the top most positions occupied by the faculty members of the Department of Paediatric Surgery i.e. Director of AIIMS, New Delhi is Prof. M. Srinivas and Dean (Academic) is Prof. M. Bajpai.
Under the leadership and guidance of Prof. M. Bajpai, the Department of Paediatric Surgery has been shifted to the Mother and Child Block during 2022 and started functioning. The Paediatric Surgery OPD is located on the Ground Floor, the Operation Theatres are located on the 2nd Floor, Wards are located on 6th Floor B Wing and Department’s administrative offices are located on “7th Floor of the Mother and Child Block.
The department has been on the forefront and is rated as one of the finest departments not only in the country but at the international level for its quality patient care, teaching, training and research. The Department established a state-of-the-art neonatal intensive care unit exclusively for the surgical newborns, for the first time in the country. The department has contributed significantly in promoting the development of paediatric surgery at the national and international level and is regularly represented in the national and international associations and various societies, projecting the current status and the contribution in the field of paediatric surgery from this major teaching institution.
It is a pleasant task to recall the history of the department and take pride in its achievements. However as in everyday life, difficult moments did creep in and in overcoming these, we believe we have emerged stronger after each such episode.
It was in 1968, that Dr.P.Upadhyaya, then Associate Professor of Surgery, returned after availing a WHO fellowship in Paediatric Surgery and took charge of the Paediatric Surgery unit within the department of General Surgery at AIIMS.
It was on 29th March 1971, that the umbilical cord was finally severed and the Department of Paediatric Surgery came on its own with Dr.Upadhyaya as its first head. It was a humble beginning with 24 beds earmarked within the surgical ward and two registrars - Dr.L.K.Sharma and Dr.R.K.Kashyap. Dr.M.Rohatgi joined the department in May 1970 as Assistant Professor, the faculty strength of the department has gradually increased to six with the joining of Dr.D.K.Mitra (1976), Dr.D.K.Gupta (1985), Dr.V.Bhatnagar (1986), Dr.M.Bajpai (1988), Dr.S.Agarwala (1994), Dr.M.Srinivas (1999), Dr Shilpa Sharma (2012). Dr V Jain (2014), Dr P Goel (2014), Dr A Dhua (2014) and Dr D K Yadav (2014). Thereafter, three more new faculty members namely Dr. A Verma (2020), Dr. Sachit Anand and Dr. Divya Gali in 2023 in the capacity of Assistant professor, the department strength stands at 11 faculty members. The Department of Paediatric Surgery has been shifted to Mother and Child Block.
Dr.P.Upadhyaya became the first professor in 1976 and was the head of the department till his retirement in 1987. From this time onwards Dr. M.Rohatgi was the head till her untimely demise in January 1993 in a train accident. Prof. D.K.Mitra, took over as the Head of the Department in 1993 and superannuated in December 2004. Prof. D. K. Gupta and Prof. V. Bhatnagar held the post as the head in 2018. Prof. M. Bajpai took over the reigns as the Head of the Department from December 2018.
The first M.Ch. trainee, Dr. S.Chooramani was selected in July 1972 and has been bestowed with the honourable Padamshree award in 2011. Since then,107 M.Ch. trainees and 1 PhD student have been groomed into holding responsible teaching positions in the country and abroad. Due to ever increasing clinical and research workload, the strength of the senior residents was increased from two to four in 1979, to six in 1982 and again to nine in 1994. Currently our department has an intake capacity of 15 Senior Residents.The six years' integrated M.Ch. course in Pediatric Surgery (after MBBS) was launched in the Department in July 1979 and it continues till date. In addition, the department also trains post-graduates in general surgery, paediatrics and neurosurgery for 2-12 weeks making them aware of the common paediatric surgical problems and their management. The Department frequently receives postgraduate students in Pediatric surgery from different centres in the country for 4-12 weeks to obtain exposure in neonatal surgical techniques and post-operative care.
Experimental work including animal experiments forms an integral part of the M.Ch. training, besides the routine clinical project. Original experimental work has been carried out in the field of splenic conservation, CSF shunts, embryo-toxic factors in congenital malformations, duplication cysts, metabolic responses to surgery, biliary atresia,intersex disorders, paediatric urological problems, intestinal atresia, oesophageal atresia, to name a few. The Department has two laparoscopic Endo trainers. Many innovations made in the department are being utilized in day-to-day practice for the benefit of the patients.
In April 1993 the department received a jolt when a fire consumed the department’s offices and laboratory destroying precious records and equipment. What we see today is the department rebuilt after such a colossal loss.
The paediatric surgical ward was trans-located to its present position on 5th floor (AB-5 wing) in the year 1969, and has now strength of 40 beds. The neonatal surgical intensive care unit (NSICU) was upgraded in 2000 to accommodate 8 neonates and in 2009 to accommodate 10 neonates and a separate feeding area for the mothers. The NSICU is equipped with state-of-the-art life support systems for each new-born (ventilator, monitors, infusion pumps, humidifier, photo-therapy machine, blood gas analyser and others).
The department has been receiving support from the associate departments like anaesthesiology, nuclear medicine, radiology, pathology, oncology and neonatology at odd hours. The department has also been extending the specialized services and running the afternoon clinics in the field of hydrocephalus, paediatric urology, oncology, intersex disorders and antenatal diagnosis and management. A follow-up clinic has also been started to manage the surgical newborns with antenatally detected malformations efficiently.
Blood gas analyser and four channel recorders were installed in the ward way back in 1972, and now have been upgraded. The Urodynamic machine serves both the clinical as well as the research purposes. Micro-analyser and multi-channel monitoring system have been added recently. The ward now has a special care area equipped with the latest monitoring equipment, ventilators, intra-cranial pressure monitoring device, and facility for uroflowmetry and ano-rectal manometry. Oesophageal pH and manometry have also been recently added. The Department has also acquired a Doppler ultrasound machine to meet the requirements of the neonates and children with various types of disorders.
In 1975, the first neonatal surgical ICU, in India, was established at the AIIMS. This was initially located in separate cubicles at one end of the children’s surgical ward. However, its limitations were realized and in 1979 it was shifted to a separate area with its own air-conditioning, air filtration plant, and temperature and humidity control, with a capacity of 7 neonates and this was partially equipped under the Colombo plan by the British Government. Due to the ever-increasing workload at this institute, the neonatal surgical ICU has now been expanded to accommodate ten newborns. It has been completely renovated and freshly equipped with state of art incubators, open infant care systems, portable incubators, neonatal ventilators, multi-function monitors, electronic weighing scale for the newborns, humidifiers, syringe pumps and slow suction machines.
From its inception the department has tried to take care of all surgical needs of children. The Upadhyaya shunt was the first of its kind in India, manufactured using an indigenously developed valve in the department. The department has acquired fame and status as a centre of excellence in the field of neonatal surgery, paediatric neurosurgery, thoracic surgery, plastic surgery, gastro-intestinal surgery, hepatobiliary surgery, urologic surgery, onco-surgery and endoscopic surgery. However, the Department of Pediatric Surgery is only a part of this premier major institution and hence we face the limitation of the number of available beds and the operating time to us, forcing patients to be on the waiting list for months for routine and reconstructive surgery.
At the national level, the department of paediatric surgery at this institute has made significant contributions to the development of Pediatric Surgery. The first ever national gathering of the country’s Pediatric Surgeons took place in 1976 during the 1st WHO/NAMS sponsored National Seminar on Pediatric Surgery at AIIMS. The recommendations of the seminar formed the blue print for the evolution of paediatric surgery. A follow-up on this was made during the 2nd WHO/NAMS National Seminar on Pediatric Surgery in 1982 at AIIMS.
The department hosted the first International Workshop on Neonatal Surgery in 1980. Since then, the department has been holding various workshops, symposia, conferences and other teaching courses each year. Over 50 such conferences have already been organized by the department in the field of paediatric thoracic surgery, pancreatic and hepatobiliary surgery, vascular malformations, oesophageal surgery, paediatric urology and intersex disorders, inviting each time distinguished faculty members from India and abroad. The department also hosted workshops and seminars for the training of nurses in neonatal intensive care, knot tying, staplers, suture practicum and neonatal resuscitation. International Workshop on Hypospadias and Intersex Disorders in 1999, International Workshop on Neonatal Surgery in the year 2000 and recently the International Workshop on Neurogenic bladder and the Hypospadias in 2001 have been very well attended by delegates not only from various parts of India but overseas also. All these have proved to be very educative and informative. The 3rd World Congress on Pediatric Oesophagus including Prevention and Treatment of Caustic Oesophageal Burns & Live Operative Workshop on Oesophageal Surgery (February 1-3, 2002) organized by the Department is another feather in its cap in the field of education. The Biennial Asian Association of Pediatric Surgeons was organized in August 2006 and had about 660 delegates from 80 countries. The 3rd World Congress of Pediatric Surgery along with the 36th Annual National Conference of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons, 21-24 October, 2010 was organized by the department as a landmark congress in the speciality including delegates from 93 countries. This was associated with 3 major workshops, the Pre congress course on Minimally Invasive surgery, 21 October 2010, Pre congress course on Anorectal Malformations, 21 October 2010 and Live Operative Workshop on Hypospadias and DSD, 25-26 October 2010.
This was shortly followed by the Symposium on Pediatric Uro-oncology in association with the Indian Society of Pediatric Urology, from December 3-4, 2010. An International workshop cum Symposium on Pediatric Urology and Annual Conference of Delhi Chapter of IAPS and Pediatric Urology Chapter of IAPS was organized from 29-31 August, 2013. A Public Awareness Program on Hernia in Children was organized on 7th September 2013 AIIMS, New Delhi.
The Department regularly holds meetings of the of the Delhi chapter of IAPS, New Delhi, Past and present members of the Department have received many prestigious awards and honours. The faculty members have served not only the National Association with flying colours but have also been nominated uncontested to the Asian Association and the World federation of Association of Pediatric Surgeons. The faculty members are constantly updating their knowledge by participating in the national and the international conferences. They have also visited centres of excellence in Pediatric Surgery the world over through various fellowships and scholarships.
The Department has also been conducting biennial meets under the Aegis of Indian Society of Paediatric Urology and Asian Society of Paediatric Urology. These meetings are focused group discussions and symposiums on the current and updated topics of paediatric urology with involvement of internationally acclaimed faculties.
1. To offer the best possible care to the surgical neonate and child
2. To train the students and nurses in the field of Pediatric Surgery
3. To establish guidelines on how a particular problem should be solved in the Indian setting
4. To carry out research in the specialty under ethical and scientific guidelines
5. To serve as a role model for ideal paediatric surgical practice
The Department of Pediatric Surgery at AIIMS offers State-of-the-art patient care, not only in General Pediatric Surgery, but also in the field of Neonatal surgery, Pediatric Urology including Disorders of Sexual Differentiation, Thoracic surgery, Oncology, Gastrointestinal Surgery, Laparoscopy, Endoscopy (Bronchoscopy, Esophagoscopy and Cystoscopy) and Neurosurgery in children up to 14 years of age.
The Department has several follow-up clinics including antenatal counselling for congenital malformations and follow-up of the cases till they reach adolescence and even after adulthood in some selected cases where meticulous surgery is required. The Department has daily outpatient services and follow up clinics in the mornings and afternoons.
Currently (July 2022), there are seventeen trainees (3-year M.Ch. students and 6-yr M.Ch.) including 13 senior and 4 junior residents in the Department. Apart from these, there are regular student on rotations from General Surgery, Neonatology and Neurosurgery to learn the basics of the speciality. There is a stringent academic training program with regular morning classes from 8-9 am daily before the routine clinical work starts.
Many alumni of the Department are presently holding key faculty positions (Principal of the Medical College, Heads of the Departments in India and Consultant Pediatric surgeons) in various paediatric surgical centres in India and abroad and making us proud.
The Department has made remarkable strides in the past and continues to work hard for excellence in patient care, clinical and experimental research, and post-doctoral teaching and training the residents. We remain committed to continue this tradition to the best of our ability and dedication, and hopefully prove up to the expectations of the public at large.
With the new Mother and Child Block coming up, the department is all set to expand the horizon in terms of the care provided and research conducted.
Willis Potts - one of the pioneers of paediatric surgery in North America, highlighting these very principles from the preface of his book "Surgeon and the Child" published in 1959 - dedicating it to the new born baby who has the great misfortune of being born with a serious deformity saying that "if this baby could speak, it would beg imploringly of the Surgeon, please exercise the greatest gentleness with my miniature tissues and try to correct the deformity at the first operation. Give me blood and the proper amount of fluid and electrolytes; and plenty of oxygen to the anaesthesia and I will show that I can tolerate terrific amount of surgery. You will be surprised at the speed of my recovery and I shall be always grateful to you."
The paediatric surgical patient requires tender care with delicate skills and diligent follow up as the new-born, baby or toddler grows through adolescence into a mature adult. As paediatric surgeons we learn from the little kids daily and are grateful to them for giving us the opportunity to serve them.

The Department of Pathology at A.I.I.M.S, New Delhi, founded in 1957, has been a pioneer in the field of pathology since its inception. The Department is a leading innovator in research, service, and education. The department offers state of the art histopathology and cytopathology patient care services incorporating advanced diagnostic methods that include immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, immunofluorescence, immunoblot, and molecular techniques such as in-situ hybridization and polymerase chain reaction.
The Department is currently headed by Professor. Venkateswaran K. Iyer (2021 onwards).
In the year 2021-2022, Department of Pathology has been able to maintain high-level academics and efficient clinical services, despite the waves and troughs of COVID-19 pandemic. The department is engaged in routine diagnostic reporting of Surgical Pathology and Cytopathology, and teaching of undergraduate and postgraduate students in addition to performing high quality research in various areas of pathology. The department provided services to large number of patients by processing approximately 40,000 surgical pathology and 17,000 cytopathology specimens.
New facilities have been added in the department for routine patient care services related to molecular pathology and cytogenetic work-up, which include in-situ hybridization, flow cytometry, tissue microarray, capillary electrophoresis, real-time PCR etc. The diagnostic and predictive immunohistochemical panel has been expanded and a total of 50,558 slides have been stained and studied during this period.
The Department is regularly providing reports for molecular tests in all pathology sub-specialities. A few examples include EGFR gene mutations, ALK and ROS-1 rearrangements in lung cancer, Her-2/neu amplification in breast cancers, TCR clonality assay in lymphomas, multiple gene fusions and other molecular alterations in salivary gland tumors as well as soft tissue sarcomas, and has started providing MYCN amplification in pediatric neuroblastomas, and FOXO1 fusions in rhabdomyosarcomas. Liquid biopsy testing using patients’ blood plasma has been standardized and included in patient-care program. We have been doing resistant mutation analysis in therapy-progressed EGFR-positive lung cancer patients by liquid biopsy and reports are released in clinics.
We are moving towards Digital Pathology sphere for implementation of next generation pathology in future. In that context, department has organized national cytology conference ‘CYTOCON 2021’ entirely in virtual mode with overwhelming participation from all over the country. Many virtual workshops were organized including a one on digital pathology where whole slide images were used for teaching purposes.
In addition, during this year also, AIIMS Pathology monthly Webinar Series (Department of Pathology YouTube channel) was as successful as earlier years in which lectures from many international alumni including the eminent Dr. Vinay Kumar, editor of Robbins and Cotran basis of disease, Dr.Rifat Mannan, Dr. Sonika Dahiya, Dr. Kamaljeet Singh, Dr. Kalyani Patel from USA, were streamed on YouTube.
The undergraduate and postgraduate teaching programs are being constantly updated and refreshed to meet the knowledge and skills sets currently required of trainees in the era of evidence based medical practice.
The Department faculty have received funding for approximately 30 extramural and 21 intramural projects related to pathology and molecular features of wide spectrum of neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases. The faculty of the department has presented their research work at various virtual national and international conferences and received awards individually or to their residents. More than 200 papers have been published in peer reviewed national and international journals during the year 2021 alone.
Notably, Dr. Sandeep R. Mathur has been awarded the prestigious Earnest Fernandez slide seminar by Indian Academy of Cytologists in Annual Conference held in Nov 2021. Dr. Deepali Jain was the first Indian to receive the prestigious Mary J. Matthews Pathology/ Translational Research Award, International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC), Sep 2021, and was listed in most cited work of top 10 doctors of AIIMS New Delhi which was prepared from Stanford University California list of world’s top 2% of scientists.
We have many faculty members contributing to World Health Organization (WHO) blue books for classification of tumors of various systems edited by International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), Lyon, France.

The Integral Health Clinic provides yoga-based intervention for prevention and management of chronic diseases.
*The Autonomic Function Lab is involved in providing patient care services to many of the clinical disciplines since 1989. Till date the lab is credited to have tested over 6,000 patients from Neurology, Gastroenterology, Endocrinology, Medicine, Orthopaedics, IRCH, Paediatrics and others. Autonomic Function Tests provide an important investigative tool for the diagnosis, prognosis and management of many diseases. The lab routinely tests 3-4 patients daily and also offers services for both basic and clinical research. Currently this lab is fully equipped with sophisticated instruments to conduct vascular function tests. This lab is also conducting clinical research on various diseases and treatment modalities.
Patients are generally referred for Autonomic Function Tests from the OPDs or Clinical wards. They are required to get a date for the tests from the lab and they are also given proper instructions.

IHC Vision Statement : To deliver the benefits of Mind, Medicine and Meditation integration for health & wellness, and generate scientific evidences
The IHC (Integral Health Clinic) is a facility that puts health promotion at the forefront, with the “human being” at the center. It was established by Prof RL Bijlani in Feb 2000, and after successfully completing 21 years, a new and contemporary version of the same was launched, and renamed as “Integral Health & Wellness Clinic” in Feb 2021.
The manifesto of this outpatient facility is beyond the therapeutic gains and embraces the mindset of health consciousness. The facility is a unique one, and caters to the destressing needs of the AIIMS employees including faculty, students, residents, and staff, and their families.
With years standing in its past as a testimony, it has catered to the people from all the walks of life with an array of health and wellness needs. During the recent COVID pandemic, we remained committed to increased health and wellness needs at physical, mental and emotional levels and continued online and offline services as much as possible in-line with the COVID guidelines.
The IHC principally deploys yoga-based lifestyle intervention to the participants. The regular participants would include patients referred from collaborating departments within AIIMS, e.g., Psychiatry, Surgical Disciplines, Endocrinology & Metabolism, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Pediatrics, RPC (glaucoma, dry eye syndrome etc.), Medicine, Rheumatology, Orthopaedics, PMR etc. Participants might have a need to manage a chronic disease (hypertension, coronary heart diseases, obesity etc.) or they might be just looking for general health and wellness needs that gives them a better and balanced lifestyle.
An optimized and structured program as per requirements is available and is customizable enough to fit one’s needs. The usual duration of this yoga-based lifestyle intervention is 2 weeks (60 to 90 min/day) at IHC. Participants are always welcome to return for a refresher course. The entire touch-time is highly engaging and provides a strong moral support to prevent fall-out.
Practically anyone, including but not limited to the referred patients from the collaborating departments, AIIMS, New Delhi and otherwise apparently healthy people are all welcome. Specific populations like patients with chronic diseases (obesity, diabetes type 2, hypertension, bronchial asthma, premenstrual syndrome, depression etc.) and healthy persons to uphold their health & wellness may enroll here.
Early morning sessions (before 9 am) OR late evening sessions (after 5 pm) may be organized as per the need and/ or, demands of patients/ participants.
The Department has provision for short-term training in its various laboratories. Interested candidates should apply to the Dean, AIIMS, New Delhi 110 029.
The Department admits students to Ph.D., M.D. and M.Sc courses.
Ph.D. is research oriented course centered around the project of advanced research.
M.D. and M.Sc are courses in which the emphasis on breadth rather than depth. They equipped the students for a teaching career in physiology.
For details of eligibility, procedure of admission and schedule of entrance examinations, please refer to the website of the Examination Section of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences.

Invented by Dr SK Varma and Mr SH Mulla.
A majority of the activities of daily living in India are performed in squatting or Cross – legged sitting positions, e.g. eating, preparing food, home making, working in the farms, sitting in meetings of religious gatherings, attending school etc. It is so much merged in the routine life style that when someone loses the leg above the knee (amputation), wearing above knee prosthesis (artificial leg) of presently available designs means a total change in life style from floor level to chair level living. That means, the activities the person used to perform sitting on the ground, would have to be done sitting on a chair or stool. This change applies more to rural amputees. The conventional above knee prosthesis does not permit the user to squat or sit cross-legged on the ground which is an essential part of the activities of daily living for the people living in India and most of Afro-Asian Countries. This inability to squat or to sit Cross-legged occurs in a conventional above knee prosthesis because the knee flexion in such a prosthesis is not allowed beyond 100 degrees.
At AIIMS a new above knee prosthesis has been designed which permits squatting as well as cross-legged sitting. This is world's first design. For more details, please click here.
Invented by Dr U Singh and Mr SS Wason.
Patients using this type of joint fitted in a HKAFO (above knee caliper with hip joint and pelvic belt) can also sit cross-legged and squat, which was not possible with conventional orthoses (calipers). This was also world’s first design of the kind. For more details, please click here.
Invented by the team under of Dr SK Varma.
This replaces the heavy and metallic orthoses with light weight orthosis that can be fitted with any type of shoe or even canvas or sports shoe.
Invented by Mr JB Joshi and Mr SS Wason
This was an innovative design of a goniometer based on pendulum to detect even minor motions of the neck and head in any direction. This was applauded during the international scientific meets.
Invented by the Team under Dr SK Varma.
Collection of soil from ileostomy was a costly affair for Indians. This indigenous bag was a boon for the Indian colostomy patients.
Invented by a team from IIT Delhi (Dr Sneh Anand and others) and AIIMS: Dr U Singh.
It was a collaborative work with IIT Delhi. Prototype developed under the PhD thesis project of Dr Deepak Joshi. Patent filed and accepted. For more details please click here.

If orthotic devices are indicated, shoe inserts are machine molded as per the requirement. A team of doctors along with the Prosthetist and Orthotists are available in the clinic. Patients for the clinic are seen only by prior appointments. One needs to be seen in the PMR OPD, the doctors in PMR decide if the patient needs to be seen in the foot clinic.
Held on Thursdays at 2 PM.
Patients are prescribed Prosthetic and Orthotic (PO) appliances like belts, collars, calipers, artificial limbs, splints etc. in the OPDs/ Wards etc. Such appliances are fabricated in our PO workshop. Prior to these being delivered to the patient, final check out is done by the doctors. Appointments are given to the patients whose jobs are pending in the PO workshop.
Held on Mondays at 2 PM.
Most persons with disability require disability certificate. Standards were laid down in expert group meetings held by our department and were later suggested to the Government of India. These have been incorporated in the Gazette of India. Please check the Government’s guidelines for issuance of Disability Certificates. Patients desirous of getting certificates of disability are advised to check the notification issued by the respective state governments from time to time.

Plastic, Reconstructive & Burns Surgery - For a better life!
The Department of Plastic, Reconstructive & Burns Surgery was formally established at AIIMS, in 2015. Before that, Plastic Surgery care was integral to the discipline of General Surgery, including ENT, Surgical Oncology, and Paediatric Surgery.
Professor Upadhyaya, Head of Paediatric Surgery and Professor IK Dhawan founded state of the art cleft surgery at the AIIMS in the early eighties. It was also around that time, Dr Rakesh Khazanchi joined the faculty. Having been trained in advanced microsurgery from Melbourne, Australia, he focused on limb and hand replantation with micro-vascular tissue transfers, and interdisciplinary cleft care in collaboration with the Department of Orthodontics.
Dr Maneesh Singhal joined the Institute as faculty in 2005 in the Department of Surgical Disciplines and enhanced the legacy by harnessing various Plastic & Reconstructive procedures and collaborations. In 2015, the Department came into formal existence and the concept for state-of-the-art dedicated Burn and Plastic surgery block was envisaged. The block became a reality and was inaugurated on 18th January 2021. Although in its nascent stage, it is already making its presence known, not just nationally but in the international arena also. The endeavour of this young and enthusiastic team of surgeons is to reduce the morbidity and provide functionality by reconstructive and microsurgical procedures thereby providing an improved quality of life to the patients. This centre will cater to one thousand burn patients annually with facilities that are unavailable anywhere else in the country.
With a facility for 100 indoor beds, dedicated burns emergency and ICU, equipped with modern state of the art care facilities and managed by highly trained faculty, dedicated residents, and health care staff, AIIMS Burn and Plastic Surgery Block is expected to become the standalone facility to the cause of care of burns and multitude of reconstruction care in coming times. The block has an easy access to trauma centre by a connecting bridge which will enhance interdisciplinary collaborative care. The department continues to works in collaboration with various other specialities such as Neurosurgery, Cardiac surgery, Orthopaedic surgery etc and independently it caters to almost all emergency hand injuries, microvascular reconstruction for complex limb trauma, post burn reconstruction, maxillofacial trauma, oncoplastic reconstruction, aesthetic breast surgery, Breast reconstruction and other congenital anomalies like Cleft lip & palate, Syndactyly, Polydactyly, Camptodactyly, Hypoplastic thumb deformity, etc. The team works in collaboration with Orthopaedic surgery to run the Hand Clinic, with the department of Orthodontics to run the Cleft Clinic, with the department of Dermatology to run the Aesthetic clinic, with the department of Neurosurgery to run the Brachial Plexus Injury clinic and the Amputation clinic along with PMR. There is a dedicated team of physiotherapists and occupational therapists that play a key role in the rehabilitation of post traumatic as well as post operative cases.
The team caters to reconstructive needs of patients at JPN Apex Trauma Centre, Dr. R. P. Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences, Centre for Dental Education and Research, Dr. BRAIRCH, CN Centre and Main AIIMS hospital.
Besides formal training of MCh. residents, the Department has taken a lead in capacity building for the nation, enhance & share the experience through various collaborations. To enhance skills and improve outcomes, the Department also focuses on paramedical health care training such as nursing officers, specialized wound care personnel.
With the launch of this dedicated block housing patient care, teaching and research care facilities, the Department is set to become a centre of excellence offering the most up-to-date patient treatment, fostering high standards of research and innovation and training future doctors to become experts in the field of Plastic surgery under the guidance of a dynamic leadership.

Besides the DM and Ph.D. courses, the Department provides training to residents from other specialties who are posted on a rotation basis. This includes:
The Department has been conducting an annual international conference, the PULMOCRIT, since 2012. As part of this, a 2-day workshop has been held on various practical aspects of Pulmonology, including the following over previous years:
This course is a 3-year pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine fellowship program with an annual intake of 5 Academic Senior Residents. Candidates who have completed an MD degree in Internal Medicine or Respiratory Medicine are eligible to join this course. The selection is made via a competitive national-level entrance exam comprising two steps: a written exam followed by an interview.
During this training program, the fellows rotate in Pulmonary Ward, Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Bronchoscopy Suite, Sleep Lab, and Pulmonary Function Lab. They attend the general pulmonary out-patient department (OPD), Lung Cancer Clinic, Sleep Disorders Clinic, Interstitial Lung Disease Clinic, DOTS (TB) clinic, and Lung Transplant Clinic. They encounter a wide variety of challenging pulmonary cases referred from across the country. By the end of the program, the fellows will be competent in flexible bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS), chest drain placement, percutaneous tracheostomy, and various ICU procedures. They acquire diverse skills, including critical care ultrasonography, mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), polysomnography, and pulmonary function testing.
The fellows are expected to present academic seminars, journal clubs, and physiology rounds as part of the program. They perform original research work for their DM dissertation. They also regularly attend multidisciplinary meetings with radiologists, pathologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, anaesthesiologists, and palliative care physicians as part of the patient care routine.
The Department has a running Ph.D. program with an intake every six months via a competitive examination. Students who have a master's degree in the life sciences are eligible. This program allows the student to carry out cutting-edge research in basic and clinical Pulmonary Medicine.
The Department of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine was initially established as the Department of Pulmonary Medicine and Sleep Disorders, a separate super specialty department at AIIMS, New Delhi, in May 2011. The institute later changed the name to its current name, keeping the department's mandate in terms of training and services.
Prof. Randeep Guleria was the founder and First Head of the department and laid the foundation for establishing the facilities and services the department currently provides. As of date, the department has seven faculty members. The department has an ongoing DM (Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine) training program and a Ph.D. program. Currently, there are 15 positions for DM students and six seats for Non-Academic Senior Residents in the Department.
The department has a nine-bed Pulmonary Medicine ward and an eight-bed Pulmonary Medicine Intensive Care Unit. We also have a large daycare unit providing support for Chemotherapy for lung cancer patients and various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Care is offered to patients suffering from various respiratory ailments. The ICU caters to patients suffering from acute respiratory issues.

Approximately 3,50,000 exams are performed each year with busy, surgical, oncologic, medical, pediatric, obstetrical and trauma services.
This refers to plain radiographs such as Chest X-rays, spine x-rays, KUB, Abdomen, extremities, joints.
Patient Information:
Plain radiography, or X-ray, is the most common diagnostic procedure in imaging. It uses X Rays which after passing through the body part under consideration produces a ‘shadow’ or ‘image’ on a receptor which can be documented on a X Ray film.
Preparation and Procedure
For most X-ray examinations (except X Ray of the abdomen), no special preparation is required. As with most other imaging procedures, jewellery and other metallic articles should be removed because they may interfere with the exam.
The patient is positioned - standing, Sitting on a stool or lying on radiographic table depending on the body part radiographed.. Typically two or more x-rays are taken from different angles to give the radiologist multiple views of the region being studied for a better understanding of the pathology.
Fluoroscopy is a live, real time radiology technique using X Rays that enables the radiologist to visualize the organ or organ system being studied, either with or without the aid of a contrast agent,. The contrast agent is needed to enhance the visibility of soft tissues which normally are not visible on x-ray alone. During fluoroscopy the image is viewed on a television monitor by the radiologist. The contrast agents (or "contrast media" as they are also known) used are administered through intravenous injection, oral ingestion, as an enema or retrogradely through a fissure/sinus or an external opening visible on the surface.
Fluoroscopic procedures that are performed in our department include:
Barium studies are used to examine the Gastro-Intestinal system, including the oesophagus, stomach, small bowel and large bowel. A ready made barium sulphate suspension (powder in water) is used to coat the inside of the area being investigated. Air or other gas is often used along with barium to expand and coat (double contrast) the area under investigation to allow for more complete and better delineation of the normal and pathological regions. A Radiologist (specialist doctor) and a Technologist will perform the examinations, sometimes assisted by a Registered Nurse.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT PATIENT BRINGS ALL PREVIOUS X-RAYS, SCANS OR ANY OTHER BIOCHEMICAL REPORTS WITH THEM ON THEIR DATE OF APPOINTMENT.
Refers to X Ray mammography (digital mammography with 3D Tomosynthesis) available in our department:
Patient Information:
Mammography is also a type of x-ray examination used to identify early cancers in breast tissue. Women should schedule a mammogram at a time when their breasts are likely not to be tender, such as the week before their menstrual period. The breast is compressed in a cassette for better visualization and both a top-to-bottom and a side view of each breast will be taken. Occasionally, additional views or an ultrasound exam may be requested by the radiologist for more information.
Other procedures also performed under mammographic guidance include ductography (imaging of the ducts of the breasts), Stereotactic facility (which enables needle biopsy procedures using computerized aid) and hook-wire localization.
Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, involves using high-frequency sound waves (Ultrasound) in diagnostic range to produce images of the inside of the body. Ultrasound exams do not use ionizing radiation (as used in x-rays or CT scan). Because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, they can show both the structure and movement of the body's internal organs, as well as blood flowing through blood vessels.
Ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive medical test that helps radiologist to diagnose diseases. Also since it does not use ionizing radiation, it is safe to use in children and in pregnant women.
Ultrasound tests that are performed in our department include:
Patient Information:
Patient lies on a couch and an operator places an ultrasound probe (transducer) on the skin over the part of the body to be examined. The probe is a bit like a very thick blunt pen. Lubricating jelly is put on patient’s skin so that the probe makes good contact with the body and ultrasound beam can traverse into the body part. The probe is connected by a wire to the ultrasound machine and monitor. Pulses of ultrasound are sent from the probe through the skin into your body. The ultrasound waves then bounce back from the various structures within the body.These echoes are detected by the same probe and are transormed into images by the computer within the ultrasound machine which are then displayed on the monitor of the machine. The picture is constantly updated so the scan (real time) can show both movements as well as structure. For example, the valves of a heart opening and closing during a scan of the heart. The operator moves the probe around over the skin surface to get views from different angles.
The ultrasound scan is a painless procedure and takes about 5-45 minutes, depending on the indication. A record of the results of the test can be made as still pictures or as a video recording.
Some special preparations are needed for specific studies which are communicated to patient in the appointment document e.g full urinary bladder for prostate or pelvis examination in women. Patient should continue to take their usual medication.
Also called a computed axial tomography (CAT) scan, CT is a method of body imaging in which a thin X-ray beam rotates all around the patients body part. Small detectors measure the amount of X-rays that make it through the patient or particular area of interest. A computer analyzes the data to construct a cross-sectional image.
CT scans may be done with or without contrast. "Contrast" refers to a substance taken by mouth (oral contrast) or injected into an intravenous (IV contrast) line that causes the particular organ or tissue under study to be seen more clearly. Contrast examinations require special preparation.
Patient will be asked to lie on a narrow table that slides into the center of the scanner gantry. Depending on the study being performed, one may need to lie on their stomach, on the back, or on the side. If intravenous contrast needs to be administered then an intravenous line will be placed in a small vein of the back of a hand or arm.
A CT scan is done to examine any part of the body : head and neck including brain, chest, abdomen, extremity and spine. CT is used not only as a diagnostic tool but is also used to guide interventional procedures such as biopsies and placement of drainage tubes.
CT scans may be performed to help diagnose tumors, evaluate blood vessels, evaluate infective and inflammatory conditions, determine calcium "scores" of the coronary arteries or check for other internal diseases, injuries (trauma) or damage.
CT scan uses ionizing radiation and therefore needs to be performed very carefully in selected patients after proper advice and recommendation from your treating physician.
Following CT investigations are performed in our department :
Patient Information:
Preparing for CT exam
Some patients are at high risk of allergic reaction or kidney failure when given Iodine-based intravenous contrast.
If you have any of the following occurrences in your medical history please inform the staff while you are scheduling your appointment:
All patients undergoing contrast enhanced CT scans must have BUN and Creatinine blood test results within 30 days prior to their CT exam.
Please do not eat within 4 hours of your exam, but drink plenty of water before if you will have IV contrast for your study.
Diabetic patients will need to stop Glucophage or Metformin the night before the examination. This decision is best taken in consultation with your treating doctor.
Do not re-start medication until BUN and Creatinine are back to normal results. This decision is best taken in consultation with your treating doctor.
Also called Magnetic Resonance Imaging or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging, an MRI is a non-invasive procedure that uses powerful magnets and radiofrequency waves to construct images of the body.
The patient will be asked to lie still on a table that slides into a long tunnel-like tube within the scanner. . In this environment, some patients may feel claustrophobic. If contrast is to be administered then a canula will be placed, usually in a small vein of the hand or forearm. A technologist will operate the machine and observe you during the entire study from an adjacent room while taking several sets of images.
Following MR procedures are performed :
Patient Information:
Preparation for MRI
Most MRI exams require no special preparation. However for some types of scans you may be asked not to eat or drink for 4 hours prior to your test.
Most MR examinations do not usually require any special patient preparations. Whenever required, the contrast medium is administered immediately prior to the examination. It is safe and and is usually well tolerated by most patients. Caution needs to be taken in some patients with chronic kidney disease. Patients with cardiac pacemaker and cochlear implants cannot undergo MRI. However patients with metallic clip and hip or knee prosthesis may undergo MRI subject to the nature of prosthesis.
If you have had recent exams to diagnose this same or a similar problem at another facility, it would be helpful for the radiologist to see those exams. If available, please bring prior studies with you.
The duration of study may vary in different patients. Most examinations would finish in an hour.
Interventional Radiology (abbreviated IR or sometimes VIR for vascular and interventional radiology) is a subspecialty of radiology in which minimally invasive procedures are performed using image guidance. Some of these procedures are done for purely diagnostic purposes (e.g., angiogram), while others are done for treatment purposes (e.g., angioplasty, embolization) or taking biopsies / FNAC samples. Pictures (images) are used to direct these procedures, which are usually done with needles or other tiny instruments like small tubes called catheters. The images provide road maps that allow the Interventional Radiologist to guide these instruments through the body to the areas of interest
The procedures that we perform fall into three broad categories:
The teaching is elaborate and consists of both theoretical and applied/ hand on training. It is based on the prescribed curriculum of the Institute.
AIIMS Radiology courses held at a regular interval at a institute, on selected topics. Details available at www.aiimsradiologycourses.com

The department has a fully functional clinical immunology laboratory catering to the entire AIIMS, New Delhi. Several immunological investigations e.g. RF, ANA (IIF), ENA Profile, C3, C4, ANCA (IIF), ASMA, Anti-LKM, Immunoglobulins, Anti-cardiolipin antibodies, Crystal Studies etc.) are routinely done. Lab is currently equipped with following techniques :- ELISA, IIF, LIA, LATEX agglutination, Nail Fold Capillaroscopy and Polarised Microscopy.
Department is also contributing to human resource in rheumatology by training physicians for various hospitals in India. Also, medical doctors from various countries have been provided training in rheumatology.
The faculty and the residents see nearly 100-120 monthly consultations and referrals from different departments of AIIMS, New Delhi.
The department has a fully functional six bedded day care centre which provides facilities for procedures like infusions of biologics and other affects like cyclophosphamide, intra-articular injections and aspirations and other diagnostic procedures like minor salivary gland biopsy, nerve biopsy, skin biopsy and muscle biopsy. Department also run a musculoskeletal ultrasound service and have been performing 150 to 200 scans and ultrasound guided procedures per month. Rheumatology day care is the best example of providing state of art patient care services in an economical way under resource constraint setting.
The department currently does not have a separate ward and provides inpatient services in collaboration with unit 3 of Department of Medicine.
Outpatient services are delivered in Rheumatology OPD every Tuesday/Friday. In addition, a Rheumatology Clinic is being run every Thursday (2pm onwards).
The department currently has a three years non-academic course for senior residents six months non-academic course for junior residents. It soon plans to start three years academic course ‘DM’ in rheumatology once indoor beds are made available to the department.
The knowledge about rheumatological diseases is scarce in the general public and majority of the patients are not able to recognize its signs and symptoms until the disease is advanced leading to significant morbidity. In an effort to increase general public awareness, the department organizes various public health lectures, distributes bilingual pocket booklets on various rheumatological diseases explaining the general population its signs and symptoms and steps for better management. The faculty frequently participates in programmes on radio/television about the above-mentioned aspects of diseases.
The Department of Rheumatology, earlier functional as a Clinical Immunology & Rheumatology division under Department of Medicine was established as a separate super speciality department on 7 August 2015. Prof. (Dr.) Uma Kumar is the founder Head of this department. Currently, department has five faculty members including Prof. Uma Kumar, six senior residents, two junior residents (non-academic). The department is providing outpatient services, state of the art Rheumatology Day Care facility for intravenous infusions (biological agent, chemotherapeutic drugs & steroid pulse etc), interventions (joint injections, various biopsies) and musculoskeletal ultrasound. The department has a fully functional Clinical Immunology laboratory where investigations for immunological and rheumatological diseases are done. Approximately 50000 lab tests are performed each year.
The department has made significant progress since its inception. The department has provided high quality outpatient services to nearly 40000 patients in last one year. Patients with wide array of diseases ranging from various forms of inflammatory arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, vasculitis, inflammatory myositis etc. attend outpatient clinic.
The department is actively involved in creation of public awareness about the rheumatological diseases. Various public health lectures, and audio/video programmes are conducted every year explaining to the patients about the diseases and its management. In addition, department frequently organizes CMEs, and Updates for physicians. Several awareness booklets on rheumatic disorders are also distributed to public and patients time to time.

Obesity is a major public health problem in India which is already known for the high prevalence of diabetes. Thus Diabesity (Obesity + Diabetes) requires concerted efforts for treatment. Besides diabetes, patients with severe obesity commonly have other related diseases like high blood pressure, deranged lipid profile, PCOD, Fatty liver (NAFLD), osteoarthritis, gastro-oesophageal reflux, obstructive sleep apnea and poor quality of life. Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for such patients that provides long term weight loss and resolution/improvement of these obesity related diseases.
A specialised bariatric surgery program has been in operation at AIIMS since 2008 with the objective to provide high quality, safe and affordable surgical treatment for weight loss to patients with severe obesity. Prof. Aggarwal is considered as one of the pioneers of bariatric surgery in India and is vastly experienced in this field. More than 1000 surgeries have been conducted at AIIMS with excellent results. AIIMS, New Delhi is also one of the few centres in the country where high quality research in bariatric surgery is conducted.

The decision of undergoing bariatric surgery is often a difficult one for patients and their relatives. In the Bariatric Surgery Clinic, a specialised team of doctors and dietician offer detailed explanation of the various treatment options for weight loss including bariatric surgery procedures and their pros and cons. This specialty clinic provides an opportunity for the patients to clarify all their doubts and reach an informed decision An experienced Program Coordinator is also present to facilitate further evaluation and consultations with other departments. The clinic also provides a unique opportunity to newly registered patients to interact with the ones who have already experienced bariatric surgery and find out more about the quality of life after such surgery. All attempts are made to make the procedure patient friendly.
Bariatric surgery requires lifelong follow up. The operated patients are actively followed and reminders are sent to them to attend the clinic The team has a specialist dietician to address the dietary issues of patients before and after surgery, which are as important as the surgery itself.
The Bariatric Surgery Clinic of AIIMS operates every Thursday at 2 pm in Room no.17, Ground floor Surgery Block.

14th June 2018 – World Blood Donor Day Celebration
It is a well-known fact that blood cannot be manufactured. It is a living tissue with limited shelf life and availability and it can only be obtained through one's blood donation. To maintain the supply of safe blood, recruiting and retaining of voluntary non-remunerated blood donors is essential. For this purpose, Blood centre, Main Hospital of AIIMS New Delhi was always at the forefront in organizing voluntary blood donation camps. Events like "Nukkad Nakat, Cyclothon, Walkathon, Marathon, Flash Mob' were also organized to promote and propagate the message of Voluntary Blood Donation.
Our blood bank, is divided into various sections:
Committed to motivation, recruitment and retention of regular voluntary blood donors. Blood donations are taken both In-House (At Blood Centre) and at camps organized across NCR Region in association with various Government, Defence and Non-Government Organizations.

Timings for blood donation at Main Blood Bank :
Monday to Friday | 9.00am to 5.30pm |
Saturday | 9.00am-4.30pm |
Apheresis is separation of whole blood into components. It is done by a specialized equipment celled 'Cell Separators'. It has both blood donor and therapeutic applications.
Donor Applications:
Collection of Single Donor Apheresis Platelets (SDAP) which are used for transfusion in patients with thrombocytopenia and Source Plasma, which was used extensively in COVID-19 pandemic as Convalescent Plasma when collected from those recovered after SARS CoV-2 infection.
Therapeutic Applications:
Used for Therapeutic plasma Exchange (TPE) in various conditions, Lipid or LDL Aphereis in patients with pathological triglyceride levels, hematopoietic stem cell harvest for bone marrow transplant, red cell exchange and others.
Same therapeutic principle in used, often in addition with Glycosorb to bring down the level of ABO antibodies in patients due to receive ABO incompatible renal graft.
Blood collected from healthy donors is screened for infectious markers of Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV and Syphilis using Chemiluminiscence technique and Malariausing rapid antigen testing. These tests ensure high sensitivity and specificity and are as per the national mandatory guidelines. The donors testing reactive for any such viral markers are informed about the test results, counseled and referred for treatment.
We were one of the first institutes to start screening of all the collected blood units by nucleic acid testing using ID-NAT, which was inaugurated in 2008. During all these years, we have been upgrading the lab with newer technologies as and when they were available. This lab is fully automated with versatility, user-friendly software while minimizing lab space and minimizing operator interaction.
DrAmbikaNanu started component preparation in the 1970s. We are one of the transfusion services who are processing almost 100% of the collected blood into components. The following components are available round the clock:
Following modifications are also available on request of clinician:
Quality control of all blood products is done regularly as per the regulatory guidelines.
CrCross match and issue section deals with request for different blood components from clinicians. Packed red blood cells are issued after screening of irregular antibodies and a full cross match. Platelets and plasma components are issued as per patient requirement.The turn around time varies from less than 15 minutes for emergency transfusion to 4-5 hours for routine cases.
The department started performing antibody screening from the year of 1988. Currently, the laboratory is equipped with fully automated immunohematological analyzer for blood grouping and antibody screening which is based on Erythrocyte Magnetization technology, which is done for all the patients.The laboratory also performs various tests such as DCT, ICT, resolution of various blood group discrepancies, antibody identification, work up of transfusion reactions, saliva secretor status, adsorption, elution studies and immunohematological support in various clinical conditions such as AIHA patients, multi transfused patients and various solid organ and bone marrow patients.

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) | Monday to Friday |
On the basis of recent research we all know that there is neurobiological process involved in our emotion, memory and behavior. Transcranial Magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) is a technique for gently modulating the brain cells. It utilizes a specialized electromagnet that generates brief magnetic pulses, roughly up to the strength of an MRI scanner’s magnetic field but much more focused. The magnetic pulses pass easily through the skull just like the MRI scanner but because they are short pulses and not a static field, they can modulate the underlying cerebral cortex. It has also been shown that these changes may last for long period of time after stimulation is stopped leading to therapeutic effect.
TMS is currently a potential treatment for patients with Depression, patients who experience hallucinatory "voices" and a variety of other Psychiatric and Neurological disorders. For patients with Depression, many research studies have shown clinical improvement following rTMS.
For patients reporting auditory hallucinations (voices), research has not been as extensive but initial results have been promising and suggest that low frequency TMS administered to parts of the brain underlying speech perception may reduce these voices.
The Food and Drug Administration (USA) has approved rTMS for Depressive disorder just 3 months back. TMS has been approved in Canada and Israel as a treatment of Depression for patients who have not responded to medications.
rTMS is an outpatient procedure and does not require anesthesia or sedation. Few patients may experience discomfort at the site of stimulation for short time. Generally rTMS produces a slight tapping sensation on the scalp. When administered at selected stimulation sites it can cause little contraction of the muscles of the scalp. Mild headache and transient lightheadedness may sometimes result from rTMS. These symptoms usually resolve by themselves shortly after the treatment is over.
It depends on the treatment/research protocol, but generally each session takes about 20 minutes. Treatment protocols vary in duration, but most require at approximately 10-15 sessions given five times per week.
The brain is directly stimulated by rTMS. However studies reported so far, no loss of memory, impaired concentration and other cognitive impairment. This is in contrast to the well known cognitive side effects associated with Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)
The main risk of rTMS is rare induction of seizure. However with proper safety guidelines chances of seizures are negligible. For stimulation at low frequency no seizures have been reported.

The draft proposal for changes in the classification of mental and behavioural disorders towards ICD 11 was prepared under the aegis of the Department of Psychiatry, All India Institute of Medical Sciences for consideration in an Indian Psychiatric Society (IPS) Committee, which will send its recommendations to the World Psychiatric Association (WPA). The draft proposal is also available on the Departmental website.
Each chapter was prepared by faculty members, who were assisted by residents of the department. In preparing their suggestions the authors often referred to the Robins and Guze criteria to evaluate the validity of various categories and specifiers. The initial suggestions made by the authors were discussed in a series of departmental meetings comprising of the entire professional staff of the department and thus the final draft proposal has received inputs from more than 30 trained professional staff from various disciplines (Psychiatry, Clinical Psychology, and Biochemistry) and another 20 professionals in training.
Each chapter of the draft proposal ha the following structure:
CLASSIFICATION OF PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS: GENERAL ISSUES

Recommendations
Supporting evidence for proposed changes
The clinician is focused on treatment and rehabilitation of individuals or groups while the public health expert seeks to employ a broader range of health interventions which include promotion, preventive, curative or rehabilitative strategies aimed at populations and groups at risk. Thus, the clinicians have a relatively greater interest in the current condition of the patient, and diagnostic categories that are narrow and which predict treatment response; while the public mental health expert is relatively more interested in risk/ causative/ developmental factors toward pathology, service delivery to the population, diagnostic categories that vary in breadth (broad for communicating with non-experts and narrow for some specific interventions) and are predictive of response to the entire range of preventive efforts. Public health experts also look at the broader spectrum of health and their determinants (Mezzich 2002a, 2002b).
Classificatory systems have public mental health implications, e.g. concept of diagnosis is crucial to epidemiology and surveillance of population health (Mezzich 2002a). However, since public health is not the explicit focus of the classificatory exercises, many issues that are relevant to public health, have not been addressed. For example, diagnoses like mixed anxiety depression and age-related cognitive decline are disputed because they are below an ‘appropriate’ threshold, but they contribute significantly to disorder burden. Within the spectrum of mental health intervention, prevention and promotion have become realistic and evidence-based alternatives. These bring new challenges to classification system - the challenge of defining boundaries of disorders, risk categories and normality (Mrazek and Hagerty 1994; Mrazek and Hosman 2002).
Public health also has much to contribute to classification. In an effort to move from descriptive criteria based approach to an etiology based approach, epidemiology serves as the bridge between proposed aetiologies or disease mechanisms and potential manifestations (Caine 2003).
Mental health has been conceptualized in two broad ways: ‘positive’ mental health (Jahoda, 1958; Maslow 1968; Tudor 1996) and ‘functional’ metal health (Hosman 1997). The former considers mental health in terms of qualities such as self-confidence, identity, ability to love, happiness, etc. that are seen as worthwhile to promote because they represent a fundamental human values in themselves. The ‘functional model’ considers mental health more in terms of psychological resources and abilities, that people need to have for a satisfying and productive life e.g. in the domains of health, relationships, work, ability to cope with stress, etc.. For this last part, the functional model of mental health coincides with the concept of protective factors.
A growing body of cross-cultural evidence indicates that various psychological, social and behavioural factors such as secure attachment, an optimistic outlook on life with a sense of purpose and direction, effective strategies for coping with challenge, emotionally rewarding social relationships, etc. are protective of health and supportive to positive mental health (Cacioppo et al 2000; Ryff and Singer 2003). Such protection facilitates resistance (resilience) to disease (disorder), minimizes and delays the emergence of disabilities and promotes more rapid recovery from illness (WHO 2002). Good mental health may also be facilitated by religious/ spiritual feelings, experience, orientation and world view (Bhugra and Osbourne, 2004). Thus, it has to be borne in mind that definition of mental health may be at least partially culture-bound with both commonalities and differences between cultures.
The recognition of positive mental health features in psychiatric patients would also substantially reduce the stigma associated with mental illness. A similar reorientation with reference of classification was achieved in the transformation of International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities and Handicaps (WHO 1980) to International Classification of Functioning (WHO 2001b).
In many situations prevention enhances options for managing disorders e.g. it may be possible to prevent many cases of conduct disorders, while it may be fairly difficult to treat them (Reid 1993). Prevention may also be significant for many individuals, who do not have access to treatment or those who receive inappropriate services. A growing number of randomized controlled prevention trials and community trials have offered evidence for significant changes on a wide variety of targeted outcome indicators, including indicators for risk and protective factors, mental and behavioural disorders and improvements in mental health (Mrazek and Haggerty 1994; Clarke et al 1995; Hosman and Llopis 1999).
Risks do not occur in isolation; in fact many risks cannot be disentangled in order to be considered in isolation as they act at different levels which vary over time. Clearly, one outcome can be caused by many risk factors (equifinality – multiple pathways to the same disorder), but similarly one risk factor can lead to many outcomes (multifinality – overlapping pathways to different disorders). Further, there is a non-linear relationship between risk factors and outcomes. Although one or two risk factors may show little prediction to poor outcome, there are rapidly increasing rates of disorders with additional risk factors (Rutter 1979; Greenberg et al 2001). Another point that needs to be borne in mind about risks is that some of the distal risks cannot appropriately be defined at the individual level (e.g. social disintegration).
Addition of an axis for risk and protective factors in the classificatory system could serve as the link between etiological understanding of disorders and promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative interventions. Risk factors may help in identifying subtypes that may aid in the exploration of pathophysiology and etiology (Andreasen and Carpenter, 1993). The axis on risk factors could be used as a matrix with Axis I (clinical diagnosis), to eliminate the need for some specifiers. For example, postpartum depression could be labelled as depression on Axis I and the specifier 'postpartum' would appear on the axis for risk factors. This axis could replace the Axis III and IV of DSM IV and Axis III of ICD-10 as it is broader in scope. It will end the artificial mind-body divide in relation to etiological factors. In addition, it will emphasize distal social and developmental causes of disorders which are not emphasized in the present classification systems and can be major foci of public mental health policies.
A substantial volume of literature suggests that subthreshold conditions have considerable public health importance. Subthreshold depressions (e.g. mixed anxiety depression, recurrent brief depression, minor depression, etc.) are reported to occur in up to 24% of the general adult (Horwath et al 1992) and 52% of the elderly (Pincus et al 1999) populations. Further, it is difficult to differentiate subthreshold depression and major depressive disorder on the basis of demographic and clinical characteristics; medical and psychiatric comorbidity; dysfunction (subtheshold depression cause five-times more disability days than major depressive disorders and dysthymia combined); follow up studies; outcome (in terms of chronicity and suicide), and a family vulnerability for major depression (Broadhead et al 1990; Johnson et al 1992; Judd et al 1998).
However, since less than one-fourth of subjects with minor depression develop major depression (Broadhead et al 1990; Wells et al 1992) in most cases subthreshold depression should be considered as an indicator of risk for developing threshold depression - a focus for indicated prevention (a subcategory of primary prevention). Subthreshold depressive categories should therefore be included in the classification under the rubric of prevention relevant categories.
Regier et al (2002) suggest that the diagnostic thresholds in current classificatory systems reflect an emphasis on treatment over prevention. Altering the threshold for caseness will change the latitude for prevention and treatment within the public mental health spectrum. Assignment of boundaries between normal states, high risk states and disorders can be made on the basis of empirical studies of risk (Vasan et al 2002). Definition of prevention relevant categories would encourage studies aimed at understanding their causation (Pincus et al 1999; 2003) and early intervention for those at risk for future morbidity, comorbidity and mortality rather than limiting intervention to after significant morbidity has occurred.
The preoccupation with over-refined categories and subcategories has led to complex diagnostic systems that are difficult to use in the community setting. Moreover, the evergrowing list of types/subtypes contains many conditions that are rarely diagnosed (Bertelsen 2002).
Definition of broad categories would be useful from the promotion and prevention perspective. Over the last 3 decades, the majority of evidence-based promotive and preventive trials have focused on common or generic protective and risk factors, e.g. interventions for increasing self-esteem, emotional resilience, problem-solving and coping skills (Mrazek and Haggerty 1994; Hosman & Llopis, 1999); and prevention of broad categories such as depression (Rutz et al 1992a; 1992b), anxiety symptoms and disorders (Dadds et al 1999), externalising problems and substance abuse (Wolchik et al 2000), or suicidal behavior (Zenere and Lazarus, 1997). When varying clinical presentation have major risk factors in common, subtyping is less relevant from the preventive perspective.
The increase in number of disorders has added to the problems of comorbidity – nearly one-third of cases in the general population have comorbid psychiatric problems (Wittchen 1996). At least some of these would be artefacts, a function of the number of available categories. Data suggest that much comorbidity in the mental health field is due to shared antecedents (genetic and environmental, e.g. childhood adversity) (Kendler et al 1992; Brown et al 1996; Livesley et al 1998; Mineka et al 1998), a fact that goes against the possibility of independence and chance co-occurrence of disorders. Thus, Krueger et al (1998) found support for a 2-factor model for explaining comorbidity – a latent internalizing factor (depression and anxiety) and a latent externalizing factor (conduct disorder, marijuana and alcohol dependence). The lack of independence between diagnoses could explain the absence of diagnostic specificity of treatment response (Regier et al 2002).
The argument for definition of broad categories is not against the existence of narrower categories. When subtypes have major subtype–specific and malleable determinants, fine divisions of categories could be relevant for prevention, treatment and rehabilitation, wherein strategies are targeted to reduction in number of episodes, duration, severity and dysfunction associated with illnesses and secondary morbidity (McGorry 1992). Hence, close attention should be paid to the number, hierarchy and specificity of categories during revision of classifications.
A life-course approach to study of health and illness has come to dominate public health following the recognition of the fact that risks as well as symptomatic expression of disorders vary across developmental spans (Ingram and Price, 2001) and that exposure to disadvantageous experiences and environments accumulate throughout life to increase the risk of illnesses (WHO 2002).
The need for a developmentally informed diagnostic system is most acute for definition of psychopathology in children and adolescents because most of the current diagnostic systems are based solely on models of adult psychopathology. Ryan et al (1987) and Kashani et al (1997) found that children especially pre-schoolers with depressive disorders presented with somatic complaints and aggressive behaviour and most showed psychomotor agitation. The diagnosis may be overlooked because of the presence of these associated symptoms that are suggestive of an externalising disorder. These findings combined with the observation of Kovacs (1986) that younger children may not be capable of experiencing or reporting the symptoms thought to be representative of major depression, emphasize the need to have developmentally relevant criteria for diagnosis.
Other studies have emphasized the need for greater attention to the life course approach to mental disorders. The results of several prospective longitudinal studies of population based samples of children and adolescents show that retrospective adult studies may seriously overestimate the age at onset of many disorders (Costello et al 1999, Lewinsohn et al 2000). In addition, some disorders e.g. ADHD and major psychoses may show early prodromes (Pine et al 2002). An episode of depression or anxiety is a risk factor for further episodes of same general type of disorder, e.g. major depression and suicide (Kovacs and Devlin 1998; Mineka et al 1998), and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders is a predictor of conduct disorder/antisocial personality disorder, substance use disorder and bipolar disorder (Biederman e al 1998; Faraone et al 1998). Some heterotypic associations are also apparent. High levels of anxiety in children predicted increase in depression over time, however high levels of reported depression in children did not predict increase in anxiety (Kolvin and Trowell 2002). Tic disorder shows longitudinal association with obsessive compulsive disorder with tic decreasing and obsessive symptoms increasing over time (Pine et al 2002). Interplay of biological and environmental risk factors could influence courses both singly and across related disorders, e.g. childhood sexual abuse for externalizing disorders (Brown et al 1996) and kindling for schizophrenia, bipolar and other disorders (Frances and Egger, 1999). Failure to take a life course approach makes the occurrence of such comorbidity perplexing.
Current data show that 85% of the variation in DNA sequence is common to ethnic groups. Such observations suggest that the risk of common illnesses including mental illnesses largely derive from alleles shared across all group of humans, supporting the possibility of having universal syndromes. But variations at the genetic level across ethnic groups (15%) and environmental risk factors provide for the possibility of substantial phenotypic variations across cultures and across time spans (Hyman 2002).
ICD 10 and DSM-IV do not adequately consider the possibility that context affects prototypical manifestations of an illness. It would be desirable to develop a system of classification that is flexible for local and cultural adaptations. For example, in some cultures people may not volunteer sadness as a symptom because a conceptually equivalent term may not exist in the language, or because of stigma attached to it, or because it is not recognized as an illness (Patel 2001). In such circumstances it would be better to use local concepts, e.g. 'Kufungisisa' (thinking too much) in Shona language of Zimbabwe or 'Neurasthenia' in China (Kleinman and Kleinman 1985; Patel 2001). Application of a universally defined criteria set in such cultures in an inflexible way, would lead to gross underestimation of prevalence of somatic symptoms related to depression and also of the prevalence of depression in the population studied (Alarcón et al 2002).
Avoidance of the concept of cultural variations in common psychiatric disorders leads to paradoxical situations. ICD-10 emphasizes adverse medical and psychological consequences in dependence and harmful use categories to ease application across different cultures and countries (Rounsaville 2002). However, development of social consequences more often predates physical and psychological problems in the natural history of pathological substance use disorders. As a consequence, rates as well as test-retest reliability of ICD-10 harmful use were lower than that of DSM-IV abuse (Chatterji et al 1997; Rounsaville 2002). On the other hand, acute and transient psychosis, a culturally informed diagnosis has been shown to have some genetic (Das et al 1999), epidemiological and prognostic validity (Susser et al 1996).
A simple system of psychiatric classification that can readily be translated into indigenous categories of illness is highly desirable. Attempts at crosswalks between ICD-10 and indigenous categories can be seen in Chinese Classification for Mental Disorders-3rd Edition (CCMD-3) (Chen 2002), Latin American Guide for Psychiatric Diagnosis (GLDF) (Berganza et al 2002) and Third Cuban Glossary of Psychiatry (GC-3) (Otero-Ojeda 2002).
The relative validity of these categorical and dimensional approaches rests on a number of empirical considerations (Widiger & Samuel, 2005). An especially important issue concerns the nature of the underlying distributions. Taxometric studies suggest that both latent categories and dimensions are widely distributed. Dimensional models receive extensive support in the broad neurotic spectrum, predominating among the mood and anxiety disorders, e.g. chronic worry and posttraumatic stress (Ruscio et al, 2001). Analyses of depression have yielded mixed results but generally have found evidence of continuity rather than discontinuity (Haslam & Beck, 1994; Ruscio & Ruscio, 2002). However, melancholic depression appears to be better understood as a latent category and there are indications of latent categories in the domain of social anxiety and inhibition. Also, categorical models enjoy more support in the domain of personality disorders than might not have been anticipated.
Dimensional systems allow one to model the severity of dysfunction, not simply its presence versus absence (Clark et al, 1995). A large body of evidence also indicates that the artificial dichotomization of continuous measures leads to substantial losses in reliability, stability and validity (Widiger, 1992). Dimensional approach may also help in preparing for the future inclusion of genetic, imaging, and biochemical elements to psychiatric diagnoses.
Multiaxial evaluation provides a vehicle for describing different aspects of a patient’s condition in order to improve our understanding of the condition and thereby to improve its management. Many multiaxial systems have been proposed and there is much variance among them regarding specific axes (Mezzich et al 1987). However, only a limited number of axes can be included in a system that is manageable in regular work internationally. Economizing arrangements could be considered to accommodate information within the multiaxial system, e.g. Mezzich et al (1987) found two broad and pervasive themes in their review of multiaxial systems: phenomenology and etiological/ associated factors. The latter could accommodate sub themes like biological, psychological, cultural, and spiritual aspects. Axes which cannot be accommodated within a given list could be considered as special - for use with particular populations or situations.
Axis I (categorical diagnoses related to health/ illhealth) would comprise of:
Axis II (dimensions related to health/ illhealth) would comprise of consensually agreed upon dimensions. Some dimensions that can be considered are:
The axis could also accomodate endophenotypes, cognitive structures, defence mechanisms, etc. for which consensus can be obtained.
Axis III (risk, protective and contextual factors) would include consensually agreed upon risk/protective, formative, precipitating and perpetuating factors. The axis would be subdivided into the following dimensions:
DSM-IV and ICD-10 were not particularly well suited for use in non-speciality settings. It is noteworthy that in the 'Beyond Blue' Project, an Australian initiative to combat depression, 'depression' and 'anxiety disorders' were the two major categories used in the skill focused training provided to general practitioners and in media advocacy work (Beyond Blue 2001). Neither ICD-10 nor DSM-IV was adopted.
Primary Care: The ICD-10 has two primary care versions - a concise version (containing 25 conditions) for those with medical training and prescription responsibility and a brief version (containing 6 conditions) for other primary care workers with limited medical training (WHO 1996). Similarly, a primary care version exists for the DSM-IV (APA 1996). The problem with ICD-10 PHC versions is that the categories in the two versions do not match each other and the detailed version of the ICD-10; however, they provide a simple way of classifying mental disorders. The DSM-IV primary care version on the other hand maintains its ties with the detailed DSM-IV but it does not simplify the classification per se, focusing instead on simplifying the process of reaching the DSM-IV classification by following a workbook style, wherein symptoms branch out into diagnostic algorithms (Pingitore and Sansone 1998).
The best solution would be to have three versions of increasing complexity, in which the categories of the more complex version are nested in the broader categories of the less complex system.
General Medical Health System: Trimble (2002) has suggested that ICD/DSM should have links to other classificatory systems, e.g. the international classification of epileptic seizures, movement disorders, lobar atrophies, dementia and sleep disorders (ASDA 1990; Mckeith et al 1996; McKhann et al 1984; Neary et al 1998). This could be achieved in many different ways. One could be to reproduce those classificatory systems/diagnostic criteria within the published ICD/DSM volumes. Another could be providing crosswalks between categories in one system with those in the other system. There is also the case for the provision of similar crosswalk to the classification used by nurses, e.g. Contemprory Nursing Diagnosis Manual of North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA 1994). Guidance is also needed for linking individual diagnosis to the International Classification of Functioning (ICF) as suggested by Kopelman and Fleminger (2002) and Jenkins et al (2002).

Recommendations
1. Changing the name of the F00-F09 category from – ‘organic, including symptomatic, mental disorders’ to ‘neuropsychiatric disorders including symptomatic, mental disorders’.
2. To place tic disorder under F00-F09 from its current place under F95 (F90 - F98: behavioural and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence).
3. To exclude organic dissociative disorder
The essence of classification system is to arrange something in an ordered fashion instead of placing it haphazardly. From ancient to recent times, various efforts have been made to classify mental disorders, with gradual refinement of the concept of mental disorders and their classifications. ICD-10 (International Classification of Disease - 10th edition) and DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - 4th edition) are the two widely accepted classificatory systems for mental disorders, though certain others country specific classificatory systems do exist.
Mental disorders classificatory system is not only used by psychiatrist, it is also used by other physicians, psychologists, social workers, nurses, occupational and rehabilitation therapists, counselors and other health and mental health professionals. Efforts should be made to make the ICD-11 more clinically useful and acceptable to those who apply it, should have few differences with DSM-V and at the same time, it should keep the layout of existing coding system intact.
Great strides have been made over the past few decades in the field of clinical neuroscience, including functional and structural brain imaging, electrophysiology and electro-diagnosis, cellular and molecular biology, genetics and neuropsychopharmacology. Despite these developments in the field of neuroscience, the understanding of the pathophysiology of mental disorders is still in a nascent state. Therefore, the seminal article by Robins and Guze (1970) is still relevant to the process of revision of classification of mental disorders.
This rubric in ICD-10 covers a range of mental disorders with a common theme of demonstrable etiology in cerebral disease, brain injury, or other insult leading to cerebral dysfunction which may be primary (where the causative factors affect the brain directly) or secondary (where systemic diseases involve brain like other multiple organs). The term ‘organic’ used here means that disorders or syndrome in this category can be attributed to an independently diagnosable cerebral or systemic disease or disorder and the term ‘symptomatic’ is used where the cerebral involvement is secondary to systemic illness (ICD-10, Clinical Descriptions and Diagnostic Guidelines).
The use of the term ‘organcity’ in psychiatric classification is attended with controversy. DSM-II (1968), categorized organic mental disorders as organic brain syndrome (OBS), caused by diffuse brain dysfunction that lead to deficits in orientation and intellectual functioning (e.g. memory, judgement, comprehension) and to changes in affective modulation (lability or shallowness). Subsequently, OBS was replaced by the term organic mental disorders (OMD) in DSM-III (1980), which further made a fundamental distinction between OBS and OMD with reference to absence or presence of etiological factors. In DSM-III-R (1987), all these disorder were placed under the section of ‘Organic Mental Syndromes and Disorders’ which was eventually deleted in the DSM-IV (1994).
In ICD-8 (1969) all organic psychotic conditions were placed along with functional psychoses under the rubric of ‘psychosis’ (290-299). Code 290 to 294 in ICD-8 (290: senile and pre-senile dementia, 291: alcoholic psychosis, 292: psychosis associated with intracranial infection, 293: psychosis associated with other cerebral condition, 294: psychosis associated with other physical condition) underwent mild modifications and were included in ICD-9 under a new term: ‘organic psychotic conditions (290-294). The latest revision ICD-10 (1992) retained the term ‘organic’ for this group of disorders.
Discussion
The term organic is very difficult to define and moreover, it incorrectly implies non-biological basis for non-organic (functional) psychiatric illnesses. In addition, merely placing ‘organic’ in front of a variety of symptom or syndromes (hallucinosis, catatonic disorder, delusional disorder, mood disorder, anxiety disorder, dissociative disorder, emotionally labile disorder), does not advance classification keeping in view the future development in neurosciences (Kopelman et al 2002). The term ‘neuropsychiatric disorder’ is probably the appropriate substitute for organic mental disorder, owing to its broad spectrum coverage. For example, head-injury, within neuropsychiatric disorders, would include (besides dementia due to head trauma and post-concussional syndrome) confusional states, memory disorders, executive and personality changes, head-injury related mood changes, etc. Epilepsy is another disorder where a number of specific neuropsychiatric syndromes could be incorporated.
Code F06 in ICD-10, uses the term ‘other mental disorders due to brain damage and dysfunction and to physical disease,’ while DSM-IV uses the term ‘mental disorders due to general medical condition.’ In the ICD-10 code, the word ‘organic’ has been placed before psychiatric disorders which often manifest in certain medical conditions. More clarity and specificity is required in describing these conditions or subtypes to avoid confusion among other health professionals who often witness such conditions, which is probably not possible by mere presence of the term ‘organic’ before such entity. Example of more appropriate description would be – catatonic disorder in Vit-B12 deficiency, delusional (schizophrenia – like) disorder in epilepsy etc. (Kopelman et al 2002). However, this type of description is reminiscent of ‘combination categories’ of ICD-8. Therefore, more accurate and appropriate description of these conditions requires utilization of separate independent axes.
Tic disorders comprise a group of disorders, such as, transient tic disorder, chronic motor or vocal tic disorder, combined vocal and multiple motor tic disorder (de la Tourette’s syndrome), other tic disorder and tic disorder unspecified. Currently, ‘tic disorder’ has been placed in the category of ‘behavioural and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence’ (F90-F98; F95) of ICD-10. Tic disorder has also found a place under G-25 [diseases of nervous system, other extrapyramidal and movement disorders] of ICD-10, as an inclusion term. Though the onset predominantly occurs during childhood and adolescence, onset has been reported in adult age group also (Burd et al, 1986a, b).
Discussion
Tic disorders have a substantial genetic basis; with first degree relatives having up to ten fold increased risk (Tourette Syndrome Association International Consortium for Genetics 1999). It also has high concordance rate in monozygotic twin (53%) in comparison to dizygotic twins (8%) (Leckman et al 1995b). Compelling indirect evidence from pharmacological studies indicates involvement of basal ganglia (Leckman et al 1995b). Electrical stimulation of the amygdala produces motor and vocal responses resembling tics (Jadresic 1992). Though the definite pathophysiology of tic disorders is not known but internationally a research consensus has been reached which suggest that the basal ganglia and the related thalamo-cortical circuitry is involved.
We proposes that tic disorder should be placed under ‘Neuropsychiatric disorder’ currently ‘F00-F09’, instead of its placement under ‘F90-F98’ as in ICD-10. Further information about the onset of illness could well be coded using a fifth character code.
The term ‘dissociative’ has replaced the older term ‘hysteria’ in current ICD-10. The basic theme in dissociative disorder is disruption (partial or complete) in the usually integrated function of consciousness, memory, identity, perception and motor control, in the absence of any physical disorder that might explain the symptoms. The evidence for psychological causation has been presumed in the form of clear or unclear (if patient denies) stressful events or problems or disturbed relationship with onset. ICD-10 has given preference of plausible mechanism for causation by using the term ‘dissociation’ instead of older term ‘psychogenic’ for this condition to avoid etiological assumptions.
‘Organic dissociative disorder’ has been placed in category of F06 (other mental disorders due to brain damage and dysfunction and to physical disease) of current ICD-10 whereas in DSM–IV, no such entity exists.
Discussion
The term ‘organic dissociative disorder’ is paradoxical. The mere presence of organic lesion somewhere in the brain of an individual, which is unrelated with dissociative symptoms can’t make him/her a patient with organic dissociative disorder. If the lesion is related with the symptoms then the diagnosis cannot remain dissociative, and in that situation diagnoses like organic amnestic syndrome would be a more appropriate as per the current ICD-10 classificatory system. Moreover, there is dearth of literature on this issue, raising questions about its diagnostic validity.
We propose that such a paradoxical term should be excluded from ICD-11.
As per the coding conventions of ICD-10, each of the categories has a code composed of four characters. The first character is a letter which designates the chapter – a group of diseases of particular specificity. The second character – a digit describes a subgroup of disorders, e.g. organic, including symptomatic, mental disorder. The third character, also a digit, describes the disease or disorder and the fourth character – a digit, details the condition more elaborately e.g. describing its course and other characteristics. A further fifth, sixth and seventh character could be used as a specifier to have more accurate descriptions.
The ICD-10 chapter F categorizes dementia utilizing four different codes (F00 -dementia in Alzheimer’s disease, F01 - vascular dementia, F02 – dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere, F03 - unspecified dementia), whereas DSM-IV places different types of etiologically based dementias under a single section (dementia), because dementias share common symptoms and presentation.
Discussion
Placement of dementia in ICD-10, utilizing four different codes invites criticism regarding the diagnostic validity and reliability of each code for dementia. Dementia, characterized by the development of multiple cognitive deficits (including memory impairment) that are due to the multiple etiologies (e.g. Alzheimer’s disease, cerebrovascular disease or combination of both), or due to direct physiological effects of general medical conditions or to the persisting effects of substance, is a clinical diagnosis (Boise et al 1999). Having four different codes for dementia in ICD-10 is anomalous with respect to the basic coding convention of ICD-10, as all of these apparently separate disorders have common symptomatology. Placing dementia as a single code (as is the case with DSM-IV) would likely improve its diagnostic stability and probably would improve its applicability and usefulness in clinical practice and research.
Therefore, we propose that dementia should have a single code with further sub typing, based on probable etiological factor (fourth character). Further specification could be achieved with fifth and sixth characters. An example is given below:
F - Mental health chapter
0 - Neuropsychiatric disorder
0 - Dementia
0 - Alzheimer’s disease
0 - Early onset
However, some members of the Department suggested caution with this recommendation based on the argument that classification was not only meant to code disorders but also to assist in research related to aetiology, outcome and prognosis; and also that such a change would require shifting of conditions from their current places, e.g. alcohol and other substance induced dementia.
In clinical practice of psychiatry, we often notice psychotropic induced psychiatric conditions which would require urgent attention and proper management, e.g. lithium toxicity, valproate toxicity, neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), acute dystonia, tardive dyskinesia, serotonin syndrome etc.
Currently these conditions are placed in ICD-10 either in the chapter of nervous system disease [G21 (secondary Parkinsonism), G24 (dystonia), G25 (other extrapyramidal and movement disorder)] or in the chapter of Y40-Y59 (Drugs, medicaments and biological substances causing adverse effects in therapeutic use).
DSM-IV placed these conditions under the rubric of ‘other conditions that may be a focus of clinical attention’.
Discussion
In the coming years, more developments are expected in the field of neuropsycho-pharmacology with newer pharmacological molecules to treat psychiatric disorder. In clinical psychiatric practice, medication induced problems are very common and some of the conditions have poor prognosis which often require clinical attention. Proper management of these conditions would require an understanding and adequate knowledge about these conditions. These conditions fulfil features of ‘organicity’ with temporal association, clear and consistent clinical descriptions, possible explainable pathophysiology and good diagnostic reliability and validity; hence, they deserve a place in F00-F09.
The house, however, felt that their placement within codes for physical disorders was adequate if they did not cause specific mental syndromes.
The characteristic feature of this disorder is a decline in cognitive performance (memory, learning, or concentration) to an extent that is insufficient to make a diagnosis of dementia, delirium or organic amnestic disorder. However, the objective tests indicate deficits and the individual experiences distress or difficulty in carrying out usual activities. The disorder has been placed under the code F06 (other mental disorder due to brain damage and dysfunction and to physical disease). DSM-IV does not have such a diagnostic entity. However, DSM-IV includes mild neurocognitive disorder in the category of cognitive disorder not otherwise specified.
Discussion
The ICD-10 (Clinical Descriptions and Diagnostic Guidelines) mentions that the boundaries of this category (mild cognitive disorder) are still to be firmly confirmed. Mild cognitive disorder as a diagnostic entity fails to differentiate between age related cognitive change, old age specific cognitive problems, and the presence of psychopathology (depression, anxiety) with genuine mild cognitive deficiency. Various outcome studies have failed to demonstrate its diagnostic stability or utility as a predictor of dementia (Christensen et al. 1995, Christensen et al. 1997, Schroder et al. 1998, Ritchie et al. 2001, Larrieu et al. 2002, Kumar et al. 2005). Therefore, it was proposed that this entity should not be included as a separate category in ICD-11. If included, it should be kept in the unspecified category of mental disorders.
However, the house wished to retain this category because it was felt that it is a common condition and more studies are required before it is excluded.

ICD-11: DRAFT PROPOSAL FOR CHANGES IN THE ‘MENTAL AND EHAVIOURAL DISORDERS DUE TO PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCE USE’ SECTION
Tripathi BM, MD, MRCPsy; Jhanjee S, MD, DNB; Kattimani S, MD
Suggestion: removal from diagnostic system
Currently, this diagnosis is applicable to alcohol use only and the clinical utility and diagnostic validity of this category has not been established. Hence, this category needs to be removed from the classificatory system.
Caffeine is a commonly used psychoactive substance and its use is socially sanctioned across cultures. Current categorization of caffeine with stimulants suggests that caffeine is a drug of potentially abuse. This has treatment and policy implications, hence, caffeine should be removed from this category. However, since coding inappropriate use of caffeine has some clinical utility, it may be coded in the Z category.
Suggestion: Replacement of the term ‘harmful use’ by the term ‘misuse’ and proposal for new diagnostic criteria.
Proposed diagnostic criteria for ‘misuse of psychoactive substance’ are as under:
This diagnosis requires that at least one of the criteria mentioned below is met, but the criteria for dependence syndrome are not fulfilled.
Suggestion: The current subcategories, F1x.21, F1x.22, and F1x.23 should be subsumed under a single subcategory named ‘F1x.21 supported abstinence’.
In order to simplify and make room for growing evidence in favour of non-pharmacological interventions in maintaining abstinence, the currently existing subcategories like F1x.21-currently abstinent but in a protected environment, F1x.22-currently abstinent on a clinically supervised maintenance or replacement regime and F1x.23- currently abstinent but receiving treatment with aversive or blocking drugs, should be subsumed under a single subcategory of ‘supported abstinence’.
In view of their clinical utility these two subcategories should be incorporated in the classificatory system.
Suggestion: Injecting drug use should be included in the classification either as a specifier or in the Z Category.
In view of clinical and public health implications of using drugs via parenteral route, this needs to be documented either as a specifier in this chapter or needs to be placed under the Z category.
Supporting evidence for proposed changes
I. F1x.07-Pathological intoxication
There is no Indian or International literature supporting the clinical utility and validity of this diagnostic category. The inter-rater reliability of this condition is poor and other factors may be responsible for such a presentation, e.g. personality traits, metabolic changes and the social context under which alcohol is consumed. An example of the pragmatic difficulties associated with its use is the forensic situation, where it may be difficult to defend the diagnosis due to lack of scientific evidence, and lack of expert consensus (Winckler 1999). Hence, it would be better to remove from this category from the classificatory system.
II. F15-Mental and behavioral disorders due to use of other stimulants, including caffeine
Caffeine has been placed in F15 along with other stimulants. The ‘other stimulants’ are psychoactive substances with known abuse liability and potential to produce dependence. Current categorization suggests that caffeine is a potentially abusive drug. This implies that a large population consuming caffeine has a psychiatric problem (with potential for stigmatization) and is in need of treatment intervention. Placing it along with other stimulants in this category does not do justice to such a widely used substance. Hence, caffeine should be removed from this category. Since, the presence of this category may still retain some clinical utility as a condition meriting health attention in specific situations, inappropriate use of caffeine may be coded in the Z category.
III. F1x.1 Harmful use: Change in title and criteria for diagnosis
Current diagnostic criteria for ‘harmful use of psychoactive substance’ require that actual damage should have been caused to the mental or physical health of the user. The diagnosis is arrived at by assessment of retrospective damage done to the subject and it does not consider the potential harm by use of the psychoactive substance in the future. This makes the diagnosis ‘harmful use’ very restrictive, as it cannot be applied to many individuals who may benefit from clinical intervention. Further, many studies have documented poor inter-rater reliability for this diagnostic category (Pull et al, 1997) and the concordance between ‘abuse’ in DSM-IV and ‘harmful use’ in ICD-10 is low (Hasin 2003). To obviate these shortcomings a change in current diagnostic criteria are proposed, as above.
The term ‘harmful use’ may be replaced by the term ‘misuse of psychoactive substance.’ Other terms like ‘abuse’ of psychoactive substance was not considered because of the derogatory connotation attached with the word while the term ‘hazardous use of psychoactive substance’ may highlight the dangerousness involved in the substance use, which may not be universal for all psychoactive substances. The term ‘dysfunctional use’ was considered but the house felt that ‘misuse’ had greater acceptability in current scientific discourse.
IV. Consolidation of subcategories F1x.21, F1x.22, F1x.23 under a single subcategory named ‘F1x.21 supported abstinence’
The current subcategories, F1x.21, F1x.22, and F1x.23 are:
These subcategories can be brought together under a single subcategory F1x.21- ‘supported abstinence’, to make the coding system more uniform and simple, in light of the fact that abstinence states may be supported by methods other than those mentioned in the existing subcategories such as by involvement in self-help groups like Alcoholic Anonymous(AA), cognitive behavior therapy and other non-pharmacological interventions.
V. Creation of new subcategories F1x.8x Sleep disorders due to psychoactive substance use’ and F1x.8x Sexual dysfunction due to psychoactive substance use
Patients using psychoactive substance commonly report sleep disorders and sexual dysfunction. These conditions act as risk factors for relapse if they are not addressed properly. Kumar and Muthulagan (2004) have documented the presence of sleep disorders in patients abstaining from alcohol and many studies have reported that sexual dysfunctions are common in various disorders related to psychoactive substance use (Kumar et al, 1997; Gupta and Jiloha 1998; Singh 1998).
VI. Inclusion of specifier or new subcategory: injectible drug use (IDU)
In addition to the obvious health risks associated with injection drug use, experts opine that this form of drug use gives rise to a severe form of dependence. Results from the National Household Survey, India (NHS, India), show that 0.1% of the sample reported ‘ever’ -injecting drug use (Ray 2004). Common reasons for shifting to injecting route cited by the sample were - better high, and peer pressure due to association with other IDU users. About 97% reported having shared syringes and 74.2% reported having shared needles (Ray, 2004). Needle sharing and unsafe sexual practices as part of drug use subculture can lead to HIV infection and AIDS in this population of drug users. The rate of HIV seroconversion seems to be significantly more rapid in India than that observed in Western countries (Agarwal et al, 1998; Birla Singh and Sharma 1998). Due to the obvious public health and clinical implications of injection drug use, it merits an inclusion as a specifier in the psychoactive substance use section or a placement in the Z category.
VII. Creation of a new category: Mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance use of mixed properties
Current classificatory systems categorize psychoactive substances based on their psychoactive properties, viz. hallucinogens, sedatives or stimulants while at the same time some psychoactive substances have been placed under the their respective generic drug classes like opioids, cannabinoids, nicotine, cocaine, etc. There should be uniformity in categorizing psychoactive substances either based on the class of substances they belong to or based on their main psychoactive property. There are psychoactive substances having both stimulant and hallucinogenic properties like MDMA. There may be difficulty in categorizing such substances, and to overcome this, a suggestion to introduce a separate category named ‘mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance use of mixed properties’ was made. This did not find consensus in the group discussion and hence was dropped from the final proposal.
VIII. To include psychoactive substances like antidepressants and antihistamines with known abuse and dependence producing capability under the category of substance use disorders
There was a suggestion to include other psychoactive substances with proven dependence and withdrawal producing capability like
antidepressants, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (Ananath et al, 1995) and antihistamines (Pal et al, 2005), under the ‘mental and behavioural disorders due to psychoactive substance use’ category, moving them from the existing category of F55.0 (abuse of non-dependence producing substances) in ICD-10. The house felt that in the absence of strong evidence, it would be inappropriate to consider these drugs as psychoactive substances with abuse liability. Hence the suggestion was dropped from the final draft.
IX. To change the title from ‘Psychoactive substance induced psychotic disorders’ to ‘Behavioral and psychological manifestations due to psychoactive substance use’ for better representation of wide array of specific behavioral and psychiatric manifestations due to psychoactive substance use
Subcategories under ‘Psychoactive substance induced psychotic disorders’ may be changed to include a broad array of behavioral and psychological symptoms and syndromes like depressive disorder, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder, agoraphobia etc. Hence it was proposed to change psychotic disorders to ‘Psychiatric and behavioral changes due to psychoactive substance use’ or ‘Behavioral and psychological manifestations due to psychoactive substance use’. Since any change in the title was likely to replicate the main title ‘Mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance use’ of this chapter, this suggestion was withheld.
X. Creation of separate category of ‘cannabis induced psychosis’
Cannabis induced psychosis has been extensively described in Indian literature. It was argued that cannabis induced psychosis be considered as a separate independent category under F12.5. It differs from other psychiatric disorders in terms of psychopathology that consists of both psychotic (paranoid delusions) and affective symptoms, and is characterized by rapid changes in symptomatology. Such a presentation cannot be easily categorized into either affective or psychotic disorder (Sarkar et al, 2003; Mallik et al, 2004) and has course and treatment implications. A specific rubric will also draw increased research attention to this condition. The house felt that sufficient literature had not yet accrued to support a separate category of cannabis induced psychosis, so this suggestion was dropped from the final draft.
XI. Sub typing alcohol use disorders
A descriptive study showed that patients with primary alcoholism differ from patients with secondary alcoholism on severity of dependence, presence of interpersonal problems, in their compliance to treatment and in maintaining abstinence in the follow-up period (Ramesh et al, 1996).Some authors have tried to study drinking pattern using multivariate techniques. Based on factor analysis of their data, one group of authors proposed that alcohol use was of 3 types - alcohol abuse, alcohol dependence and social drinking (Mathrubootham et al, 1997). Alcohol dependence could be further classified into low and moderate dependence.Such studies support the exclusion of social drinking from diagnostic categorization, and can help in reduction of false positives for alcohol abuse or dependence. However some authors have used the term ‘problems drinkers’ to identify those who do not fulfilling criteria for alcohol dependence but still require some form of intervention for their alcohol use (Satesh and Sengupta 1997). The house agreed with the onclusions reached by Gupta and Basu (1999) that alcohol subtyping would merit further study before inclusion in the classificatory system.
XII. Sub typing of opioid dependence into early onset and late onset opioid dependence
Some authors have suggested the differentiation between opioid dependence of early onset defined as age less than 20 years at the initiation of opioids and late onset defined as age more than 20 years at the initiation of opioids. There appears to be significant difference between the two groups regarding substance use pattern and presence of psychopathology, which might need to be considered in treatment planning (De et al, 1998).However, the house felt that the evidence for the use of this specifier was not compelling as yet.
XIII. Inclusion of protracted withdrawal as specifier
There was suggestion to consider ‘protracted withdrawal state’ as a specifier besides the existing F1x.3 withdrawal state, which is an acute physiological state due to sudden cessation or decrease in the quantity of psychoactive substance on which an individual is dependent. It has been well established that protracted withdrawal is one of the risk factor for relapse in cases of psychoactive substance use disorders (Satel et al, 1993).However, the house felt that there was not enough evidence to support the separation of acute and protracted withdrawal states.
Concluding comments:
ICD revision process should also consider the identification of risk factors for relapse and factors that alter prognosis and intervention strategies. The multiaxial system similar to that suggested by WPA workgroup in 1994 may be used with some alteration (Kastrup 2002). It needs to be established whether diagnostic criteria needs to be changed in order to make its applicable in special populations like women (Selvaraj et al, 1997; Prasad et al, 2000; Irpati et al, 2005), elderly (Grover et al, 2005), and adolescents (Tripathi and Lal 1999). While revising existing classification, available research evidence should be considered carefully, and proposed changes should be evaluated for their utility in treatment decisions and in prognostication, for forensic purposes, for potential benefits to special groups like children. Also, issues related to third parties like reimbursement providers, public opinion and implication for government policies should be carefully considered during the revision process.

Supportive Evidence for Proposed Changes
Introduction
Schizophrenia, schizotypal and delusional disorders (F20-F29) section in ICD10 include non-affective psychiatric disorders conceptualized to be broadly related to each other. The classification of these disorders in ICD-10 has achieved fairly good reliability, ensuring the international comparability of research, clinical work and education. While, these categories have not achieved expected nosological validity based on criteria given by Robin and Guze (1970), the past decade has witnessed research into specific areas that has elucidated and questioned many already existing issues and has thrown up several new issues for consideration.
F20: Schizophrenia
I. Higher weight should be given to negative symptoms of schizophrenia
There is an emphasis on positive symptoms for diagnosing schizophrenia in ICD10. Presence of only one SFRS is enough to make the diagnosis whereas two of the negative, catatonic, formal thought disorder or persistent hallucinations with accompanying delusions/overvalued ideas are required to make the diagnosis of schizophrenia. Inclusion of Schneider’s first rank symptoms (SFRS)/positive symptoms in the diagnostic guidelines has increased reliability of diagnosis of schizophrenia in ICD10. However, it is now well established that SFRS are present in other psychiatric conditions as well (Taylor et al, 1973; Brockington et al, 1980). Also, current research recognizes that negative symptoms are defining features of schizophrenia.
Negative symptoms have been reported frequently in patients with schizophrenia.
Patients of schizophrenia with affected relatives are reportedto have a high magnitude of negative symptoms that are relativelytreatment resistant. Twin studies and other data show that relativesof probands with greater negative symptoms have higher morbid risks for illness than the relatives of probands who have greaterpositive symptoms. Negative symptoms are also presentin some nonschizophrenic relatives of patients with schizophrenia,as in those with schizotypal personality disorders (Malaspina et al, 2000).
Typical antipsychotics cause relatively more improvement in positive symptoms as compared to negative symptoms. Moreover, typical antipsychotics cause extra pyramidal side effects which may mimic some of the negative symptoms. Atypical antipsychotics have been proven in placebo-controlled trials to be effective in treating negative symptoms of acute schizophrenic episodes (Moller et al, 2003). Negative symptoms are widely suspected to reflect frontal lobe dysfunction and are associated with poor outcome (Potkin et al, 2002).
Discussion: The literature suggests that negative symptoms are increasingly recognized as defining features of schizophrenia but it is not clear how they can be used in differentiating schizophrenia from other conditions. Some studies report that negative feature like apathy may be useful in this regard. Studies are needed to identify pattern and type of primary negative symptoms in schizophrenia. Increasing the weight age of negative symptoms in making diagnosis of schizophrenia can be achieved by adding another criteria that records negative symptoms not currently included under (h) like avolition, loss of drive, aimless behaviour, empty speech.
II. Addition of early onset (onset before 18 years of age) as age of onset specifier
Awareness about early onset schizophrenia is increasing. Premorbid developmental impairments, including language, motor and social deficits; insidious onset in at least 75% of children; elementary auditory hallucinations; less complex delusions related to childhood themes; and negative symptoms namely flat or inappropriate affect; are more frequent and pronounced in earlier, than in later-onset schizophrenia.. A marked deterioration from the previous level of functioning is also present in these children, and an impaired outcome is reported in approximately 50-60% of cases.
The frequency of childhood schizophrenia is less than 1 in 10,000 children, but there is a remarkable increase in frequency between 13 and 18 years of age (Remschmidt et al, 2005).
There is strong evidence for the importance of genetic factors in schizophrenia in children and adolescents (Remschmidt et al, 2005).
Early onset schizophrenia has greater neuropsychological deficits than adult onset schizophrenia (Biswas et al, 2006; White et al, 2006). Early onset schizophrenia is also more severe and is frequently treatment-resistant (Shaw et al, 2006). The long-term course of childhood- and adolescent-onset schizophrenia is worse than in adult-onset schizophrenia, and the patients with manifestation of the disorder below the age of 14 have a very poor prognosis (Remschmidt et al, 2005).
Discussion: Early onset schizophrenia (onset before 18 years) has good internal and external validity. Thus, the group proposed its (age of onset) inclusion as a specifier ‘b’.
III. Pattern of course needs to be simplified
The review of literature did not support the complex pattern included under the current course specifier in ICD-10. It is tedious for use in clinical practice as well as research, hence it is rarely used. Provision of a simpler pattern of course specifier would increase its clinical utility without compromising on its validity. The group proposed the following pattern for course specifier:
IV. Removal of catatonic schizophrenia F20.2 as a subgroup of schizophrenia and placing it as clinical course specifier of schizophrenia
Kraepelin recognized catatonia as a form of dementia praecox and Bleuler included it within his wide group of schizophrenias. Catatonia as a subtype of schizophrenia has been included in all classificatory systems. Recent research shows that catatonia is a syndrome which is characterized by association with neurological and general medical conditions, mood disorders; use of effective therapeutics and development of reliable instruments.
Catatonic presentations are common in acute in-patient psychiatric settings (Banerjee et al, 1995; Chalasani et al, 2005). The prevalence of catatonia among psychiatricpatients is reported to range from 7.6% to 38 % (Taylor et al, 2003).
Catatonic presentation is more common in mood disorder than in schizophrenia. It is also found in many other conditions (Taylor et al, 2003).
Catatonia responds to specific treatments like lorazepam and ECT irrespective of the disorder (Taylor et al 2003).
Discussion: Customary clinical practice continues to overvalue the idea that presence of catatonia is diagnostic of schizophrenia. The reliability of catatonic features is good; however the internal and external validity of catatonic schizophrenia is questionable. This type of presentation appears in the course of schizophrenia at various stages with limited stability. Further, it is recommended that at the time of presentation, if catatonic features are present, these are treated symptomatically with lorazepam or ECT; final management, course and prognosis are decided by the underlying condition that is uncovered after patient recovers from catatonia. So, catatonia can be conceptualized mainly as a clinical specifier. Thus, the group proposes its placement as a clinical course specifier ‘c’.
V. Removal of post-schizophrenic depression as a subtype; depressive symptoms to be included as a phase specifier.
Depression occurs frequently in schizophrenia. Occurrence of depression in schizophrenia has often been associated with worse outcome , impaired functioning, personal suffering , higher rates of relapse or rehospitalization and suicide. In ICD 10, depressive features are included under schizophrenia as ‘mild degree of depression’ preceding psychotic symptoms and as ‘post psychotic depression subtype’. In the former situation, it is a symptom and in the latter situation, a syndrome. A depressive episode present concurrently with schizophrenia is diagnosed as a schizoaffective disorder. The confusion attending the term depression in schizophrenia is attributable to three questions viz., whether it is the symptom or syndrome of depression that is being considered; the phase of schizophrenia in which it is occurring; and its causation (whether it is integral part of schizophrenic process, a de-novo phenomenon or a reaction to stress).
Depressive symptoms in schizophrenia are often severe but are poorly recognized by psychiatrists (Bressan et al, 2003). The prevalence varies from 7%-75% according to the approach used for their identification (Micallef et al, 2006). Depressive symptoms of substantial severity are often found in 50% of newly diagnosed cases of schizophrenia and 33% of cases of chronic schizophrenia that have relapsed (Whitehead et al, 2002).
A Cochrane systematic data review found no convincing evidence to support or refute the use of antidepressants in treating depression in people with schizophrenia (Whitehead et al, 2002). However, a study done by Birchwood et al (2000) found that depression accompanying acute psychotic phase remits with psychosis.
Discussion: Post-schizophrenic depression as a subtype of schizophrenia has questionable reliability and validity. Depression in schizophrenia is common and it occurs during prodrome, active psychotic phase, within first year and thereafter. The efficacy of antidepressants is equivocal. The boundary problem exists with schizoaffective disorder (depressive type) and depressive episode (F32.-). Thus, the group proposes removal of post-schizophrenic depression as a subtype; depressive symptoms should be included as a course specifier‘d’. Depressive symptoms fulfilling diagnostic criteria for depressive episode (F32.-) occurring could be diagnosed independently as a co morbid condition.
VI. Dimensions of schizophrenia to be introduced
Over the last decade many studies have highlighted the dimensions of schizophrenia. In eighties, the negative–positive distinction was extensively studied. Van der Does et al (1995) investigated the stability of an earlier reported four-dimensional symptom model (positive symptoms, negative symptoms, disorganization, and depression) and found a stable four-dimensional structure that closely resembled the factor structure of their first assessment. The symptom dimensions were uncorrelated, except for disorganization and depression. The results of a cluster analysis suggest the existence of at least four subtypes of schizophrenia: positive, negative, mixed, and disorganized. A fifth subtype included patients with few symptoms and suggested the occurrence of simple schizophrenia (Dollfus et al, 1996; Lykouras et al, 2001). Klingberg et al (2006) reported the occurrence of five factors viz., negative, impulsive, positive, disorganization, and depression.
Discussion: While the search of literature suggests the occurrence of many dimensions underlying schizophrenia, the evidence for reliability and validity of different dimensions is variable. Issues pertaining to dimensional classification will be covered under the general section.
VII. Introduction of schizo-obsessive subtype of schizophrenia under ‘Conditions meriting further study’
Co-occurrence of obsessive compulsive (OC) symptoms and psychotic illness was first recognized over a century ago. Interest in this area has been revived recently because of increased recognition of higher-than-expected co morbidity rates. There is growing evidence that patients with schizophrenia and obsessive compulsive disorder, termed schizo-obsessive may represent a special category of schizophrenia population.
Recent studies have revealed much higher co-morbidity rates for OCD in the schizophrenia than previously recognized. Investigators have reported prevalence rates of clinically significant OC symptoms in schizophrenia population to be 10%-52% and of OCD in schizophrenia population to be 7.8%-26% (Berman et al, 1995; Kruger et al, 2000; Tibbo et al, 2000; Craig et al, 2002; Thomas et al 2005). Comparisons of current co-morbidity figures with individual lifetime prevalence rates for each disorder (2%-3% for OCD and 1% for schizophrenia) suggests that there exists greater than chance rate of co-occurrence between the two conditions (Bottas et al, 2005).
Schizophrenia with OC symptoms possess a distinct clinical and neuropsychological profile that differs from that of schizophrenia without OC symptoms. This profile includes a worse clinical course with poor treatment response, lower functioning levels, and greater impairment of functions primarily subserved by the frontal lobes. In addition, the former patients showed a higher level of negative symptoms and worse overall psychopathology (Hwang, 2000).
There is significant overlap in the proposed circuits of OCD and schizophrenia, which may lead to co-expression of symptoms. Although there is overlap in neurotransmitter dysfunction, the interactions are complex, especially in regard to the serotonin and dopamine systems (Tibbo et al 1999, Gross-Isseroff et al 2003).
Discussion: at present the epidemiological and biological evidence suggests that schizo-obsessive disorder as a subtype of schizophrenia deserves attention as it may be sufficiently distinct in terms of aetiology, treatment and outcome. The group proposes that schizo-obsessive subtype of schizophrenia should be introduced as a conditions meriting further study.
F22: Persistent delusional disorder
VIII. Deletion of the term ‘persistent’
ICD-10 mentions the word ‘persistent’ to mean that these disorders are ‘usually persistent and sometimes lifelong’. The global outcome of delusional disorders is shown to be better than that for schizophrenia. Kendler and Walsh (1995) reported the duration of illness for delusional disorders (38±26 months) to be shorter than that for schizophrenia (159±134 months). It is argued that to bring this category closer to that of DSM-IV the term ‘persistent’ should be dropped.
IX. Shifting of F24 (induced delusional disorder) under F22
The underlying assumption behind placing F24 as a separate diagnostic category in ICD-10 appears to be presence of a definite cause and spontaneous resolution of symptoms after removal of the cause. Literature review suggests that this category has not been adequately validated. The occurrence of its four subtypes viz., folie imposee, folie simultanee, folie communiqué and folie induite is largely based on the resistance offered and time of appearance of psychotic symptoms in the secondary cases. Except for folie imposee, these disorders in secondary cases do not have a clear onset and offset with the primary case (Wehmeier et al, 2003). Management of these patients requires multiple treatments including removal of etiologic agent, antipsychotics, individual and group psychotherapy, and family therapy (Kumar et al, 2005). As these conditions are phenomenologically similar to cases with delusional disorders, the group proposes that this category can be shifted under F22 as F22.1 for better understanding of etiology and long term course and outcome.
F23: Acute and transient psychotic disorders
X. Introduction of course specifier for acute and transient psychotic disorders
Acute and transient psychotic disorders get re-diagnosed as other non-organic psychotic disorder if they recur. Studies have suggested that these cases recur and recurrent acute remitting psychotic states are 10 times more common in developing than in industrialized countries; are two times more common in females than males; exhibit long term benign course and have lesser negative symptoms (Susser et al,1995; Sajith et al, 2002). Better delineation of non-affective acute remitting psychosis in current diagnostic systems could lead to better understanding of this condition and improve the applicability of diagnostic systems in developing countries, where these conditions are more common than in industrialized countries. To better understand the course and outcome of acute and transient psychotic disorders, the group proposed the introduction of a course specifier for this group of disorders. A fifth character may be used to classify the course e.g. F23.x.a
x – subtype
a – course which may be 0 - single episode, and 1 - recurrent, current episode
F25: Schizoaffective disorders
XI. Introduction of concurrent and sequential subtypes as course specifier
In ICD-10, the schizoaffective disorder is defined as the concurrent occurrence of schizophrenic symptoms with a major affective disorder. Longitudinal aspects of course are npt reflected well in the current classification. There is little evidence to support a chronological distinction regarding the co-existence of schizophrenic and affective symptomatology. Thus two types of schizoaffective disorder must be distinguished: the 'concurrent' and the 'sequential' type (Marneros 2003). The first includes conditions with coincident schizophrenic and affective symptoms and the latter is defined as the schizoaffective disorder under a longitudinal aspect subsuming disorders with a symptom change between different episodes. The group felt that this change will improve the reliability and validity of schizoaffective disorders. A fifth character may be used to classify course e.g. F25.x.a
x – subtype
a – course which may be 0 – concurrent, and 1 - sequential
Conclusions
In the coming decades, efforts to explore simpler clues like endo-phenotypes to genetic underpinnings of disorders covered under this section will continue. It is being conceptualized that both genes and brain circuits they regulate may underlie symptom complexes across many diagnostic categories. The dimensional approach to psychiatric diagnosis will probably help in better segregating these symptom complexes. Also, there is issue of sub-threshold symptoms seen in primary care. Besides reliability and validity, issues of clinical utility are important. The changes proposed in the present classification of these disorders need to synthesize these issues.

Introduction
We began by conducting a comprehensive search (comprising both electronic and manual search) of the studies on mood disorders published in the Indian psychiatric/mental health journals. Attempt was also made to include the psychiatric research published in Indian medical/social journals (i.e. journals not dedicated to psychiatry/mental health alone). This review of the available Indian literature was conducted focusing on studies published between years 1992 (i.e. when ICD-10 was published) till date. We could locate 190 articles on mood disorders of which 161 had been published in Indian journals and 29 in International journals.
All the research articles were color-coded and divided into five broad categories for diagnostic validity as per Robins and Guze criteria (i.e. clinical description, family studies, laboratory studies, follow-up studies, and delimitation from other disorders: Table 1).

#Total is more than 100 % (i.e. 190 articles) as some articles could be classified in more than 1 category
The evidence was weighed for and against the diagnostic validity of a particular entity in mood disorders category and discussed among the members of team. We conducted a more diligent search in Indian and international literature for the following areas: (1) data inadequately represented in the Indian literature; (2) entities that were controversial in terms of their nosological status; (3) new categories/criteria/specifiers which could be potential candidate for inclusion: and (4) of interest as reflected in recent literature. References to publications from other countries have been made in the following situations: (1) as a primary reference where Indian studies were non-existent; (2) as supplement to the available Indian studies; and (3) to provide for an international perspective on controversial/debatable areas.
Chronic mania: Clinical description of chronic mania dates back to the 19th century when Kraepelin routinely described such cases in his presentations. More recently, chronic mania has been defined as presence of symptoms in excess of 2 years (Perugi et al, 1998). Prolonged continuation of manic episode has been reported from India as well, mainly in the form of case-reports. A manic episode lasting approximately five decades has been reported (Mendhekar et al, 2004). In the international literature, the prevalence of chronic mania is estimated to be around 6-13%, due to the variable criteria sets chosen to describe the condition(Perugi et al,1998; Malhi et al, 2001). Chronic mania differs partially in its psychopathological presentation from acute mania. While, disturbances in the biological functions such as sleep and appetite are hallmark of an acute episode, chronic mania is devoid of the psychomotor and vegetative symptoms seen in the acute episode. Though, schizophrenia is a potential differential diagnosis in such cases, the absence of the flattening of affect and gross thought abnormality differentiates chronic mania from schizophrenia. At times, it becomes very difficult to diagnose a case of mania because of “personality style of the patient superimposed on a cyclothymic or hyperthymic temperament” (Mendhekar et al, 2004). Though not many follow-up studies are available, experts suggest that chronic mania is a poor responder to the conventional treatment for the mood disorders namely the mood stabilizers and neuroleptics.
Chronic depression: Studies examining depressive disorders have reported a relatively high frequency of cases with a chronic course. This is especially true for elderly patients, females, and those with comorbid illnesses (medical/psychiatric/substance use) (McIntyre and O'Donovan, 2004).
Mania in partial remission: Generally a manic episode is short lasting and its mean duration is reported to be three months. However, a few case reports from India suggest that some episode do not remit completely. For instance, Chawla and colleagues (2006) reported the case with five episodes over past 22 years with persistent mood congruent delusion in the inter-episodic period. Characterization of the ‘inter-episodic’ period in such cases by the specifier “in partial remission” would benefit communication between professionals as well as management of the case.
Depression in partial remission: Incomplete remission from depression is quite common, with approximately one third of patients continuing to have residual depression (Burt, 2004). The presence of residual symptomatology after an episode of depression is associated with an increased risk of short-term relapse and a chronic course; a higher risk of suicide attempts; poor social functioning; higher comorbidity and poor outcome of comorbid illnesses; and increased social and economic costs (Kennedy and Paykel, 2004).
The Satra Bruk classification workshop held in Sweden in 1999 proposed the introduction of a specifier for post partum onset (defined as onset within three months of delivery) (Elliott, 2000).
Depression with post-partum onset: An average general populationprevalence figure of 13% has been reported for postpartum depression (O’Hara and Swain,1996).In the Indian context, Patel et al (2002) reported prevalence of postpartum depression in 23% of mothers at 6-8 weeks of childbirth; 78% of these patientshad had clinically substantial psychological morbidity duringthe antenatal period. More than one-half of the patients remainedill at 6 months after delivery. Incidence has been found to be 16% and 10% in early and late post-partum period, respectively, in another study (Sood and Sood, 2003). Economic deprivation and poor marital relationships were important risk factors for occurrence and chronicity of depression. The gender of child was also found to be a determinant of postnatal depression, a reflection of the cultural preference for a male child over a female one (Patel et al, 2002). In developedcountries, the risk factors for postnatal depression are pasthistory of psychological disorder, psychological disorder duringpregnancy, low socioeconomic status, complicated delivery, andpoor marital relationship. Additionally, post-partum depression has been found to have a substantial risk of recurrence in subsequent post-partum periods (30%-50%). Women in developing countries whosepopulations have low incomes face considerable inequalities,ranging from fewer opportunities in education and employmentto less control over personal decisions, such as the use ofcontraception to plan pregnancies. Thus women in developing countries have all the risk-factors for post-natal depression in abundance, making the specification of ‘onset during postpartum period’ even more important in such contexts.
Post-partum mania: Despite diverse presentations, there is strong evidence fromclinical, outcome, and genetic studies for a close relationship between puerperal psychosis and bipolar disorder (Dorothy et al, 2006). Women who have suffered an episode of puerperal psychosis remainat high risk of developing further affective episodes (Davidson and Robertson,1985),and puerperal episodes of illness follow 20% to 30% of birthsto women with a history of bipolar disorder or affective psychosis(Kendell,1987). Family studies of puerperal psychosis consistently demonstratefamilial aggregation of psychiatric (predominantly affective)disorder, with morbidity risks for first-degree relatives inthe range of 10% to 50% (Platz and Kendell, 1988; Dean, 1989). The findingof higher rates of affective disorder in relatives of puerperalprobands suggests a major overlap in the familial factors predisposingto puerperal psychosis and bipolar disorder.
A number of attempts have been made by various researchers to define a "biological symptomatic profile" of depression by means of genetic, biological and therapeutic studies (Staner, 1988; Rush and Weissenburger, 1994; Schotte, 1997; Parker, 2000; Hill and Gorzalka, 2005). Psychomotor and appetite disturbances, early awakening, anhedonia and psychotic symptoms seem more likely to reflect this biological dysfunction in depression (Staner, 1988). Studies have supported the construct validity of the DSM-III melancholic subtype of major depression. Schotte (1997) has proposed the integrated threshold model:
Melancholic symptom features are predictive of a positive response to ECT and to tricyclic antidepressants in the severely ill. Key features include psychomotor retardation, unreactive mood, pervasive anhedonia, and distinct quality of mood. Melancholic features are associated with shorter REM latency and/or nonsuppression of cortisol during the dexamethasone suppression test. Depressive episodes that are not melancholic may take on melancholic features with repetition and passage of time in some individuals. Once melancholic features are present, it is unclear whether they repeat across subsequent episodes. Melancholic features are not uniquely associated with a positive family history of depression per se, but they may be especially associated with a family history of severe depression (Rush and Weissenburger, 1994). Bipolar depression appears to be more likely to be 'melancholic' in type, thus providing an indirect strategy for the clinical definition of melancholia (Parker, 2000)
A recent study has pointed towards some similarities between melancholic depression and an endocannabinoid deficiency state. Interestingly, endocannabinoid activity is down-regulated by chronic stress and possibly increased by some antidepressant regimens. It has been proposed that an endocannabinoid deficiency may underlie some of the symptoms of melancholic depression, and that enhancement of this system may ultimately be a novel form of pharmacotherapy for treatment-resistant depression (Hill and Gorzalka, 2005).
While, the validity of the specification of melancholic symptoms in a depressive episode has been largely established (Rush and Weissenburger, 1994), we are raising a semantic issue here. In the current system (ICD-10) the symptoms historically regarded as ‘melancholic’ are called ‘somatic’. We propose that the term ‘melancholic' should be preferred as it is specific to depression, while the term ‘somatic’ leads to confusion with ‘somatoform symptoms / disorders.’
Approximately 8-14% of patients with psychiatric illness have catatonia as a presenting feature (Pommepuy and Januel, 2002).
Depression with catatonia: Depressed patients with catatonia have been found to be older, to have a significantly higher frequency of major depression, to have more severe cognitive impairments and more severe deficits in activities of daily living than depressed non-catatonic patients (Starksteinet al, 1996).
Mania with catatonia: Manic patients with catatonia are reported to have more mixed episodes, more severe manic symptoms, more general psychopathology, higher co-morbidity, longer hospitalization, and lower Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scores than the noncatatonic patients. Thus, the presence of catatonic symptoms in mania is regarded as a marker of a worse course and outcome (Braunig et al, 1998).
An increasing amount of research has challenged the traditional view that juvenile-onset bipolar disorder is a rare condition. The cumulative incidence of bipolar disorder in childhood and adolescence may equal the 1% rate in adults (Lewinsohn et al, 1995). Available Western studies suggest that childhood/ adolescent onset bipolar disorder have a greater prevalence of chronicity, psychosis, mixed and atypical features, high incidence of rapid cycling, and poor response to mood stabilizers (Geller et al, 2004; Wozniak, 2005). However, studies from India report a high rate of recovery and low chronicity (Rajeev et al, 2003; Jairam, 2004).
We support the continued inclusion of mood disorders within ‘general psychiatric’ disorder categories rather than among F90-F98 (…disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence). However, we recommend that onset in childhood and adolescence be specified to ensure required clinical and research attention towards these conditions.
Traditionally, bipolar disorder has been considered as an episodic disorder with good inter-episode recovery. More recent studies have shown that in some cases complete recovery may not be achieved and subsyndromal symptoms persist in the inter-episodic period. The notion of complete interepisodic recovery is challenged further by studies documenting that certain patients demonstrate social, marital, occupational and cognitive dysfunction, even when euthymic (Watson and Young, 2001).
In line with our earlier recommendation for a specifier for complete/ incomplete remission of single ‘episode,’ we suggest that a provision should be made to specify whether the lifetime course of a recurrent disorder is characterised by complete/incomplete interepisodic recovery.
There are a few studies on seasonal pattern of mood disorders from India. The available evidence suggests that:
A significant proportion (22%) of bipolar affective disorder patients has been found to have seasonal pattern (Avasthi et al, 1996). Further, patients with seasonal pattern have been reported to have episodes mostly in summer and winter, longer episode duration and more psychotic features as compared to patients with no seasonal pattern. There also appears to be a genetic propensity present to mood variations in relation to environmental temperature (Fernandes et al, 1996).
The studies on seasonal pattern of mood disorders from India have been mainly limited to one group of authors. If, indeed, the concept of seasonal pattern (more so, the reverse seasonal pattern) of mood disorders is to be validated, there is a need to replicate these findings in other centres of India. A provision in the classificatory system for separately coding the specifier of seasonal pattern will stimulate further research in this area.
Rapid cycling among patients with bipolar affective disorders is important because of its implications for long-term prognosis and for the use of antidepressants. Indian literature about rapid cycling is mainly restricted to case-reports (Garg et al, 1998). International literature (Bauer et al, 1994) suggests that about 15-20% of bipolar disorders have a course which could be characterised as ‘rapid cycling’ (defined as four or more mood episodes in a year). Rapid cycling is associated with female gender, substantial depressive morbidity, high risk for serious suicide attempts, poor response to lithium and fair response to calcium channel blockers (Frye and Altshuler, 1997; Coryell et al, 2003). Some studies suggest that rapid cycling (spontaneous or induced) once established, becomes for many years a stable rhythm in a substantial proportion of patients (Koukopoulos A, et al, 2003). However, other studies examining data related to phenomenology, family history, and long-term outcome do not support rapid cycling as a separate entity but as a temporary complicated clinical state (Kilzieh and Akiskal, 1999)
We propose that patients with a course characterized by four or more episodes in a year for at least two consecutive years should be specified as having ‘rapid cycling.’ The duration criterion (two years) is in line with that currently employed for other chronic disorders such as dysthymia and cyclothymia as suggested by certain authors (Koukopoulos et al, 2003).
As discussed in the recommendation number 1.4, the term ‘somatic syndrome’ does not include somatic (i.e. physical) symptoms of depression. The symptoms described are more commonly referred to as melancholic symptoms in the existing literature. In order to avoid confusion with somatic symptoms and in line with the available research, we recommend the change of terminology from ‘somatic’ to ‘melancholic’.
The ICD prefers the use of the term mood over affective as mood represents a more enduring emotional state in contrast to affect which represents a feeling tone in response to present events. The F30-39 category has been named mood disorders in ICD-10. Following the same rationale, the term bipolar affective disorder can be replaced by bipolar mood disorder.
Somatic (i.e. physical or somatoform) symptoms of depression are common in manycountries, but their frequency varies depending on how somatizationis defined. In part, this variation may also reflect characteristics of physiciansand health care systems, as well as cultural differences amongpatients.
In some Western as well as Indian studies, a majority of patients with depression present with somatic (i.e. physical or somatoform) symptoms but acknowledgepsychological symptoms (such as depressed mood or guilt) when they were specifically asked about them (Goldberg & Bridges, 1988; Raguram et al, 2001). Even more importantly, the largest study to examine the relation between somatic symptoms and depression (which utilized data from World Health Organization's studyof psychological problems in general health care - 25, 916 patients from 15 primarycare centres in 14 countries in 5 continents) found that somatic symptoms are often the only or predominant presenting complaints in some patients with depressive illnesses (Simon et al, 1999). In this study, of the 5447patients who underwent a structured assessment for depressive and somatoform disorders, 1146 met the criteria for major depression. Among them, 69% reported only somatic symptoms (Simon et al, 1999).
The personal significance and meaning of the symptoms are shaped by cultural notions concerning the human body in health and in sickness. Although both depressive and somatic symptoms were distressing to Indian patients, qualitative analysis showed that depressive symptoms, unlike somatic symptoms, were construed as socially disadvantageous (Raguram et al, 2001).
Anger attacks have been proposed as a specific form of anger in depression. They are characterized by a rapid onset of intense anger and a crescendo of autonomic arousal occurring in response to trivial provocations. They resemble panic attacks but lack the predominant affects of fear and anxiety associated with panic attacks. They typically occur in situations in which an individual feels emotionally trapped and experiences outbursts of anger that are later described by the patient as being uncharacteristic and inappropriate to the situation at hand. The prevalence of anger attacks in depressed patients is approximately 30% to 40 % (Fava and Rosenbaum, 1999). Though the presence or absence of hostility, anger and aggression in depression has been a matter of controversy, anger attacks have been found to occur more often in depressed patients in comparison to healthy controls. Some studies have reported that depressed patients with anger attacks differ from those without such attacks in terms of clinical profile, comorbid personality disorders and certain biological variables. Serotonergic dysfunction may characterize this distinct subtype of depression - depression with anger attacks (Painuly et al, 2005). Fraquas et al (2006) reported that serum levels of homocysteine were positively correlated with length of current major depressive episode in patients with anger attacks but not in those without anger attacks. The attacks have been found to disappear in 53% to 71% of depressed patients treated with fluoxetine, sertraline, or imipramine (Fava and Rosenbaum, 1999). Significance of aggression as a gender-specific diagnostic criterion for depression has been proposed as ‘male depressive syndrome’ (Winkler, 2005).
In the current edition of ICD, recurrent mania finds mention as an inclusion term under other bipolar affective disorders (31.8). The previous edition, ICD-9, had a separate category called recurrent mania. However, there has been persistent debate about the same. Avasthi et al (1996) reported that recurrent mania was by no means uncommon in India (6.5%). A recent review examining the nosological status and validity of recurrent unipolar mania (Harish et al 2005) also concluded that unipolar or recurrent mania occurs in sizeable number of patients (5%-25%). Unipolar mania exhibit consistent differences from bipolar mania in clinical, course and outcome, laboratory and family studies.
We recommend that, recurrent mania should be coded separately under the broad category of bipolar affective disorders rather than as an inclusion term with ‘other bipolar disorders’.
There are few Indian data on depressive episode(s) with hypomania. Klerman (1989) and Akiskal (1999) labelled recurrent depression with hypomania as Bipolar affective disorder (BPAD)-II in their classifications of bipolar spectrum disorders. Bipolar II disorder is also recognized as adistinct subtype in the DSM-IV (1994) classification. The life-time prevalence rates of both bipolar I and bipolarII disorders have been estimated at 0.6%, giving a combinedfigure of 1.2% (Weissman and Myers, 1978). A number of recent studies have helped in establishing bipolar-II disorder as a separate entity from BPAD-I disorder as well as recurrent depressive disorder. The summary of these studies is presented below:
Clinical description:Goodwin and Jamison (1990) have suggested that sub-syndromal bipolarity appears at a meanage of 14 years, while the initial episode of bipolar I disorder occurs at a median age of 18 years and bipolar II disorderat a median age of 21 years. Majority of available studies conclude that bipolar II disorder has an intermediate age of onset as compared to bipolar I or unipolar disorder.
The gender ratio of bipolar II patients tended to favour women having this disorder as compared to bipolar I patients where the gender ratio was fairly equal (Dunner, 1993). Clinical differences have been found in some studies comparing females and males suffering from BPAD-II. Females, as opposed to males, had significantly lower age at onset, more axis I co-morbidity, atypical depressions, intra–depression hypomanic symptoms (i.e., mixed depression), and family history of suicidal behavior. Females had more sadness, loss of energy, loss of interest, and suicidal ideas (Benazzi, 2005). Differences were found mainly on the depressive pole of the disorder and not of great magnitude but the authors concluded that these findings merit further attention.
When compared with Bipolar-I and unipolar disorders, researchhas found certain distinct differences in rates of recovery, clinical features and number of episodes. Rapid cycling was noted among bipolar I and bipolar II (but not unipolar) patients. Patients with seasonal affective disorder were more likely to be bipolar II than unipolar. Clinically depressed bipolar I patients evidenced psychomotor retardation; whereas, depressed bipolar II and unipolar patients either had psychomotor agitation or psychomotor retardation. One clinical feature that has consistently appeared to differentiate patients with bipolar II disorder from those with bipolar Idisorder or unipolar depression is the risk of suicide, whichappears to be elevated in this group (Bourgeois 1997). A history of suicide attempt was highest among bipolar II as compared to bipolar I and unipolar depressed patients (Dunner 1993). This may be related to the fact that the diagnosisis often missed, and consequently patients are ineffectivelytreated (MacQueen and Young, 2001). Also, high rates of comorbid disorders have been reported among patientswith bipolar II disorder (Savino et al, 1993; Pini et al, 1997), including substance abuseor dependence, anxiety disorders, and personality disorders.
Family studies: distinct familial inheritancefor bipolar II disorder has been suggested (Cassano et al, 1999). A tendencytowards a mild expression of mania may run in families (Kato et al, 2000). A summation of the large-scale studies where relatives of bipolar I, bipolar II, and unipolar patients were interviewed to determine their diagnosis revealed an elevated morbid risk for mania (bipolar I disorder) in relatives of bipolar I patients and bipolar II patients, as compared to relatives of unipolar patients and an elevated morbid risk for bipolar II disorder in relatives of bipolar II probands. These latter data suggested that bipolar II might "breed true." The family study data supported the notion that bipolar II was more similar to bipolar I than unipolar disorder but that bipolar II may be (on a familial basis) somewhat distinct from both bipolar I and unipolar disorder.
Laboratory studies: Preliminary imaging (Altshuler et al, 1995) and biochemical(Kato et al, 2000) studies that have separately examined subjects with bipolarI and bipolar II disorders have found differences in these groupsthat further support the view of bipolar II disorder as a discretediagnostic entity. Periventricular hyperintensities were found to be more common in bipolar I patients (62%) than in bipolar II patients (38%) and normal comparison subjects (30%; Altshuler et al, 1995). The rate of 5178C genotype was significantly higher in patients with bipolar disorder (64.8%, P < 0.05) compared with controls (53.2%) when paternally transmitted cases were excluded. This effect was more prominent in patients with bipolar II disorder (75.6%, P < 0.02 to controls). Bipolar II patients with 5178A genotype without family history had significantly later age at onset (56.0 ±14.7 years, P < 0.05) than other bipolar patients (Kato et al 2000). The major difficulty in assessing the review of the biological studies was the fact that no biological study consistently predicted discrimination of bipolar from unipolar patients, and many of the studies suffered from small sample size and lack of replication.
Some studies have found differences betweenbipolar I and bipolar II disorders on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)and on the presence of vascular abnormalities, includingRaynaud's phenomenon, migraine and ‘migraine equivalents’(Altshuler et al, 1995).
Delimitation from other disorders: t he conceptof a trichotomy of mood disorders—bipolar I, bipolar II,and unipolar major depression—has been supported by studies that found distinct patterns of symptoms (as discussed above) and distinct familial inheritancefor bipolar II disorder (Cassano et al, 1999). Researchhas found distinct differences in rates of recovery,clinical features, and number of episodes. Preliminary imaging (Altshuler et al, 1995) and biochemical (Kato, 2000) studies that have separately examined subjects with bipolarI and bipolar II disorders have found differences in these groupsthat further support the view of bipolar II disorder as a discretediagnostic entity. The results of some studies support the notion that bipolarII disorder is intermediate between unipolar depression andbipolar I disorder with respect to illness course.
Follow-up studies: b ipolar II disorder appears to be diagnostically stable (Angst, 1986; Coryell, 1996).A variety of studies suggest that the probability of patients with bipolar II disorderdeveloping a manic episode was about 4% to 17% over up to 40 years of follow-up, with many of the studies supporting low rates of diagnostic conversion from bipolar II to bipolar I (Dunner and Tay, 1993; Coryell et al, 1995). Studies suggest that the number of episodes of depression maybe a stronger predictor of psychosocial outcome than mania in Bipolar II disorder (MacQueen et al, 2000). Preliminary studies suggest that the newer anticonvulsants maybe of benefit for this group.
There seems to be overwhelming evidence for existence of a valid diagnostic entity, characterised by depressive episode(s) with hypomania, which has been labelled “Bipolar-II disorder” in research studies as well as in DSM-IV. The ICD-10 at present mentions it as an inclusion term under ‘other bipolar disorders’ (F31.8). Over past one-and-half decades since the current version of ICD came into being, even more research evidence has been generated pointing towards diagnostic validity of this entity. Hence, in our opinion it is now time that this entity be accorded a distinct status of its own.
CONCLUSIONS
For the purpose of proposing modifications to the classification of mood disorders in the ICD-11, we have restricted ourselves to only those recommendations, (a) which have some evidence of validity in the existing literature, and (b) which have potential utility for the clinicians and researchers if incorporated. While the strength of the evidence-base varies from one recommendation to another, in terms of utility, we believe all of them to be quite useful. For many of our recommendations, we have deliberately not gone into details of definition / criteria. We believe that these definitions and criteria could only be refined, once the system provides for coding them. Till this consensus about definitions is achieved, we suggest that drafters for ICD-11 incorporate these recommendations with the most likely acceptable and/or flexible criteria, leaving some room for clinicians and researchers.

Introduction
We were assigned with the task of possible modifications in the classification and categorisation of the Neurotic, Stress related and Somatoform disorders grouped under the codes F 40 to F 49 in the ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision) for proposed ICD 11. Our recommendations were formulated on the basis of a comprehensive search (both electronic and manual search) of Indian and international literature pertaining to anxiety, somatoform and stress related disorder. The literature search of Indian studies was focused on studies published since 1990 onwards. The collected evidence was presented to an expert-panel comprising of Faculty of Department of Psychiatry, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi for thorough discussion. This final draft of the recommendations has been prepared based on the consensus of the expert panel. We have made an attempt to examine the validity of our recommendations in the light of Robins and Guze (1970) criteria viz. clinical description, family studies, follow-up studies, laboratory studies and delimitation from other disorders.
In ICD 10, the essential feature of generalized anxiety disorder(GAD) is anxiety that is generalized and persistent and not restricted to any particular environmental circumstances. In addition the sufferer must have primary symptoms of anxiety on most days for at least several weeks at a time and usually for several months. The ICD 10 does not mention the exact duration of clinical features to diagnose the anxiety disorder.
The current diagnostic threshold for GAD raises questions about diagnostic requirements, such as whether 6-month duration and other psycho-physiological symptoms are needed for optimal identification of individuals who suffer from a clinically significant condition. Flint (2005) highlighted that in the community, period-prevalence of co morbidity of GAD with another psychiatric disorder is 4%, while the prevalence of pure GAD is only 1%. Early recognition of GAD is of paramount importance considering the co morbidity between GAD and other (especially depressive) disorders (Kessler 2001). Temporally primary GAD significantly predicts the subsequent onset of depression and other secondary disorders highlighting the importance of early intervention and treatment of primary GAD to prevent the subsequent onset of secondary anxiety and depression. Unfortunately, little is known about this possibility because, few people with pure GAD seek treatment. Specification of a duration criterion (preferably for 3 months) could help in early identification of the disorder (before the onset of co morbidity) and paving the way for collection of epidemiological data on pure GAD and also to develop outreach strategies that may correct this situation of low help-seeking in such cases.
Recent data from the US National Co morbidity Survey Replication (NCS-R), carried out during 2001-2003 also focused on the duration requirement for diagnosis of GAD using WHO Composite International Diagnostic Interview as assessment tool (Kessler 2005, Ruscio et al 2007). The report suggests that a large number of people suffer from a GAD-like syndrome with less than six months duration. The study also pointed out that cases of GAD with episodes of 1-5 months did not differ greatly from those with episodes of six or more months in onset, persistence, impairment, co-morbidity, parental GAD, or sociodemographic correlates.
The past decade has seen tremendous strides in the knowledge about the cause, epidemiology, and treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder. Research on clinical characteristics of the disorder have focused on several areas, including identification of subtypes, the role of insight, and patterns of co morbidity (Aigner et al 2005, Bellino et al 2005).
Poor insight identifies a group of OCD patients with distinct clinical characteristics. InOCD with poor insight, patients generally fail to recognize that the obsessions or compulsions are excessive or unreasonable. In a study from India, Ravi Kishore et al (2004) evaluated 100 subjects with OCD (DSM-IV), who had received adequate drug treatment. They observed that 25% of the subjects had poor insight. Poor insight was associated with poor response to drug treatment, earlier age-at-onset, longer duration of illness, a greater number of obsessive-compulsive symptoms, more severe illness and higher co morbidity rate, particularly with major depression. In a study conducted in Bangalore (India), it was observed that poor insight was an important clinical predictor of poor response to treatment with SSRI (seen in 40% to 60% of the sample); (Shetti et al 2005). Similarly, Erzegovesi (2001) evaluated clinical variables that might influence the antiobsessional response to proserotonergic drugs in a sample of 159 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It was observed that non responders (43.4%) had an earlier onset and a higher frequency of "poor insight" subtype and somatic obsessions in comparison to treatment responders.
Several studies have shown significant brain abnormalities in OCD patients (Aigner et al, 2005). A recent MRI study has shown that there are significantly more features suggestive of structural brain abnormalities in OCD patients with poor insight in comparison to OCD patients with good insight (Aigner et al 2005).
Literature on clinical and psychobiological distinctiveness of hoarding behaviour in OCD (Bellino 2005; Lochner at al 2005) also supports the need for a specifier related to insight in OCD. In OCD, hoarding is associated with poor insight, lack of resistance to the compulsion to hoard, poor treatment motivation, poor response to SSRIs in comparison to other OCD symptom dimensions. Further, at the level of biological and psychosocial determinants, pathological hoarding could be associated with schizophrenia, OCD, and tic disorders, possibly through dopaminergic mechanisms (Damecour & Charron 1998).
Co morbidity between OCD and schizophrenia is an area of emerging interest. Evidence shows that obsessions and compulsions are more common in patients with schizophrenia than was previously thought (Matsunaga et al 2000). Matsunaga et al (2000) further observed that OCD patients are less likely to have poor insight (PI), compared to patients with OCD and schizophrenia; however, OCD patients with poor insight showed a similar degree of functional impairment to that observed in patients with OCD and schizophrenia, pointing towards different outcomes in the two subgroups of OCD. The authors compared 78 OCD patients (primary interest [PI] group: 36% of the sample based on insight question of the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale) with 20 schizophrenics with OCD (OCD+S). After a 6-month combination of clomipramine and cognitive-behavioral treatment, 14 of 25 OCD PI patients no longer fell in the PI category, which was associated with reduced OCD severity and depressive status. Schizotypal personality disorder (SPD) was more common in patients whose insight remained poor even after the treatment. Co morbid SPD in PI patients may be associated with worse prognosis.
The current classification systems ICD–10 (World Health Organization, 1992) does not give clear operational guidelines for the diagnosis of Dhat syndrome, possibly because it is considered a culture-bound syndrome. Once we label a clinical entity as culture bound, it runs the risk of exclusion from mainstream psychiatric classification with resultant lack of research and understanding (Chadda & Ahuja 1990; Bhatia & Malik 1991; Sumathipala et al 2004).
Dhat syndrome, originally described in India based on cultural beliefs of people, has been found to be highly prevalent in countries neighboring India such as Pakistan, Nepal, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and others (Sumathipala 2004). The patients of Dhat syndrome present with multiple somatic and psychological symptoms in the background of perceived loss of semen. This causal belief is not culture bound - male preoccupation with semen loss is universal and has been frequently associated with depression and anxiety. Similarly, in patients presenting with ‘Dhat syndrome,’ it is not uncommon on clinical exploration to find underlying neurotic and depressive disorders. Several authors have commented that Dhat syndrome should be considered as a culturally determined symptom of (or syndrome within) common disorders like depression, anxiety and somatisation rather than as a culture bound syndrome (Wig 1994). Various experts have questioned the validity of Dhat syndrome being viewed as a single neurotic disorder in ICD–10, where it is included under ‘other specific neurotic disorders’ (F48.8). Indeed, it is difficult to classify a high proportion of these cases as ‘pure’ Dhat (Chadda & Ahuja 1990; Chadda 1995; Bhatia & Malik 1991). Several Indian studies have recommended that Dhat syndrome should be integrated into existing rubrics of psychiatric classification in appropriate places (Chadda & Ahuja 1990; Bhatia & Malik 1991; Wig 1994). This might help to formulate the management of Dhat syndrome comprehensively on a biopsychosocial model depending upon its clinical presentation.
Fatigue is a common symptom in Dhat syndrome. Disorders with fatigue as the main symptom are often grouped together as functional somatic syndromes (Bhatia & Malik 1991; Barsky & Borus 1999). The basic cognitive formulation offered to explain these disorders is based on somatosensory amplification, misattribution and abnormal illness behaviour. These mechanisms seem to operate in patients with Dhat syndrome, who frequently make their first contact with departments other than psychiatry, for example urology, dermatology and general medicine, and are then referred to psychiatry. Also, partly as a result of arbitrary diagnostic guidelines, but also due to their own expectations and characteristics, patients are often dissatisfied with their treatment or causal explanations offered (Chadda & Ahuja 1990). These features suggest that patients without anxiety and depression should be placed within somatoform disorders.

Proposals for the Category F50: Eating Disorders
Proposals for the Category F53: Mental and Behavioral Disorders associated with Perinatal Period
Introduction
Measuring the validity of psychiatric diagnoses is still anunsolved problem. Yet, revisions of the Diagnostic and StatisticalManual of Mental Disorders and of chapter V of the InternationalClassification of Diseases are now under way, with the hopeof improving the validity of the current systems. In this article we present few proposals for changes in the section F50-59 of the ICD 10, on the basis of available Indian data, Western data and clinical experience with due emphasis on criteria laid down by Robins and Guze and Kendell.
Evidence for the Proposed Changes
F50: EATING DISORDERS
Recent years have seen increasing dissatisfaction with the criteria for eating disorders as they currently stand, which combined with good evidence that a large number of patients of all ages presenting for treatment fall into the ‘not otherwise specified’ or ‘atypical’ category, has resulted in lively debate and suggestions for improvement.
Anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) are currently considered as disorders confined to the Western culture. Although many influences have been noted as formative in the development of eating disorders, slimness has received most attention in recent years. The recent identification of eating disorders in non-Western societies and different subcultures within the Western world has led to suggestions that Western cultural ideals of slimness and beauty have infiltrated these societies (Nasser, 1994; Shroff & Thompson, 2004). The biomedical definition of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa emphasizes fat phobia in the presentation of these disorders. However, evidence exists that suggests anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa can exist without the Western fear of fatness and that this culturally biased view may obscure health care professionals’ understanding of a patient’s own cultural reasons for self-starvation, and even hinder their recovery Khandelwal et al, 1995).
Anorexia nervosa was earlier believed to be limited to the white Caucasian population in the West. But, in the last two decades it has been identified with increasing frequency in non western societies (including Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Malaysia, India, Pakistan and Singapore) as well as ethnic groups in the West.
Current diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa are largely influenced by western cultural concept of dread of fat and drive for thinness. The diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa as outlined by the ICD 10 include: ‘A body image distortion in the form of specific psychopathology whereby a dread of fatness persists as an intrusive overvalued idea and the patient imposes a low weight threshold on himself or herself’. The contemporary diagnostic criteria therefore de-emphasize ‘emaciation’ and emphasize ‘fat-phobia’. Nasser (1994) attributed the transculturality of anorexia nervosa to a globalization of ‘fat-phobia’ because of the emergence of a culturally shrunken world due to mass communication technology. Thus, Western researchers presume that incidences of anorexia nervosa in non-Western societies are replicas of the West. As a result, fat-phobia still remains the ‘core’ psychopathology underlying anorexia nervosa despite its presence in non-Western societies. Indeed, in the current diagnostic systems cases that do not meet the criterion of fat-phobia are labeled as atypical (eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS) in DSM IV or atypical in ICD 10).
Dread of fatness as the core psychopathology does not explain all cases of anorexia nervosa especially in the non western societies. Several cases of anorexia nervosa without accompanying fat-phobia have been reported in different societies and cultures (China: Lee 1995, Lee 2001; India: Khandelwal and Saxena 1990, Khandelwal et al, 1995). Lee et al (2001) evaluated 48 consecutive patients with broadly defined anorexia nervosa with a self-report rationale for food refusal questionnaire. Two-thirds (32) of the patients expressed fat-phobia but one third (16) did not. Sensation of abdominal bloating and low appetite were among the other rationales given by patients for refusal to eat. Based on a qualitative analysis of 70 Chinese anorexia nervosa patients (who had all been examined by an experienced psychiatrist over a period of 12 years), Lee (1995) reported that 59% of patients did not express any fat-phobia throughout their illness. They differed from their fat-phobic counterparts only in that they were premorbidly slimmer and demonstrated no signs of bulimia, often considered a sign of fat phobia.
Khandelwal & Saxena (1990) and Khandelwal et al (1995) asserted that the presentation of eating disorders in India varied from the typical description of anorexia nervosa. Their female anorexic patients typically showed decreased appetite, excessive weight loss and amenorrhea but no fat-phobia or body image disturbance. Though finally diagnosed and treated as cases of eating disorder, they presented considerable difficulty in diagnosis according to current classification systems. They suggested that this variation was due to sociocultural factors, as Indian culture does not dictate slimness as a beauty ideal, and that there was not as much concern with body image as in the West.
Banks (1992) studied the case of two anorectic women from the Minneapolis–St Paul area of Minnesota. Both women were from conservative religious fundamentalist backgrounds and expressed their desire to reduce food intake through religious understanding about food, the body and sexuality, provided by their religious culture.
The western version of fat phobic anorexia nervosa has neglected the full metaphorical significance of self-starvation and, when applied in a cross-cultural context, may constitute a category fallacy. Most non-Western patients will fall into the atypical group by not fulfilling criteria of dread of fat. Lee (1995) suggested the use of more culturally sensitive diagnostic criteria. One of the diagnostic criterions suggested by Lee (1995) states that, ‘the patients use complaints (such as abdominal bloating or pain, loss of appetite, no hunger, distaste for food, fear of fatness, and/or “don’t know”) to resist attempts to make them increase food intake.’ Due to its seeming ubiquity in Western anorexics and the relative lack of cross-cultural studies on anorexia nervosa it may be too early to shed the concept of fat phobia entirely. Hence, fat phobia should be retained as a specifier of anorexia nervosa, rather than as an essential criterion.
The criterion of amenorrhea was not required for the diagnosis of AN or BN by DSM-III although it was typically associated with anorexia nervosa. Amenorrhea was initially introduced as a criterion for several reasons (Garfinkel et al, 1996; Falk & Halmi, 1982). It was mentioned in historical reports of cases of anorexia nervosa in females. Also, it was hypothesized in more recent decades that anorexia was due to a primary impairment of hypothalamic functioning. Since then, however, it has been observed that amenorrhea generally follows loss of body weight and body fat. While, amenorrhea can occur is a minority of women before substantial weight loss (Theander, 1970), women with all the behavioral and psychopathological symptoms characteristics of anorexia nervosa including weight below the current diagnostic criterion may continue to menstruate. Also, there is no parallel criterion for males (Watson & Andersen, 2003). In a large community epidemiological survey, amenorrhoea did not discriminate between women with anorexia nervosa and women with all the features except amenorrhoea, across a number of relevant variables (Garfinkel et al, 1996).
ICD-10 differs from DSM-IV in being less stringent about the duration of amenorrhea and including some reference to change in male reproductive hormone function. There are some inherent limitations however in both of these diagnostic systems, as they impose a historically appreciated but perhaps overly specific medical criterion of amenorrhea. Current ICD-10 and DSM-IV anorexia nervosa category excludes substantial numbers of individuals who do not fulfill the monotheitic diagnostic criteria, because of the absence of amenorrhea, or because their final weight does not reach the required threshold, despite having clinically significant psychopathologies gravitating around preoccupation with body weight, food, and eating (Mitrany, 1992; Williamson et al 1992; Thaw et al, 2001). A diagnosis of eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS), which is typically regarded as residual, is often misinterpreted as indicating problems of lesser clinical significance (Mitchell, 2005). Levels of distress, behavioral abnormalities, and cognitions similar to those associated with a full syndrome eating disorder often accompany EDNOS (Herzog et al, 1993; Thaw et al, 2001). In an effort to develop homogenous diagnostic groups that can have implications for treatment and course, care must be taken not to exclude people because of small variability in the symptom picture (Dancyger & Garfinkel, 1995).
It is therefore suggested that amenorrhea may be retained as a specifier of anorexia nervosa rather than as an essential criteria. Anorexia Nervosa may be identified on the basis of substantial self induced starvation to the extent of producing significant medical morbidity, which may include amenorrhea.
The weight criterion for anorexia nervosa has also varied over the years. Regardless of the degree of actual weight loss, patients with anorexia nervosa - like symptoms appear to experience a high degree of physiological and psychological distress similar to full anorexia nervosa. For example, a patient may begin dieting at a healthy personal weight of 115% (of ideal) and loses to 90% of this weight, with significant functional medical consequences, but never reach the 85% criterion. In fact partial-syndrome anorexia appears to be more common than anorexia nervosa (King, 1989; Walters & Kendler, 1995). About 1.5% of young women have an eating disorder in full form (Dancyger & Garfinkel, 1995; Ghaderi & Scott, 2001) and another 7%–10% have some, but not all of the features of an eating disorder (Dancyger & Garfinkel, 1995). There is controversy as to whether eating disorders are qualitatively distinct or whether they exist along a continuum of dieting and weight concerns. Herzog et al (1993) followed up a group of 33 women with partial syndrome AN, BN, or both for an average of 41 months. At follow-up, 45% of the subjects had gone on to develop a full-criteria eating disorder, and as many as 82% had met full criteria for an eating disorder at least once during the course of their illness. Similarly, King (1989) observed a spectrum of eating disorder severities with some movement between diagnostic groupings over the 12–18 month follow-up in his study of women in a general practice. These findings suggest that a continuum of pathology may exist in which partial syndromes may reflect an earlier phase in the disorder and thus an artifact of the particular timing of the intake interview or assessment.
The primary weight criterion for a diagnosis of anorexia nervosa is a weight less than 85% of what is considered normal for that person’s age and height (DSM-IV). A body mass index (BMI) less than or equal to 17.5 kg/m2, which originated from the ICD-10 diagnostic criteria for research is not adjusted for age and sex. It should be realized that a body mass index of 17.5 is a strict weight cutoff only for individuals over age 20. For children, and to a lesser extent for adolescents, the body mass index cutoff is less strict than the primary DSM-IV weight criterion.
In keeping with the categorical approach to diagnosis, a cutoff may be specified on the dimension of body size/weight. If ICD persists with BMI, at the minimum, it would require a better specification with regard to age and sex.
F53: Mental and Behavioral Disorders associated with Puerperium Not Elsewhere Classified
Recently delivered mothers are vulnerable to the whole spectrum of general psychiatric disorders, as well as those resulting from the physical and psychological changes of childbirth. Nearly 30% of women have adjustment problems and 15%-20% have minor to major depression. Maternal suicide and infanticide are rare but the more common and yet less recognized risks are those of maternal illness – beginning in utero – on the infant. Considering the high risk of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality (Appleby, 1991; Patel et al, 2003; Anoop et al, 2004; Buist, 2006) associated with post partum disorders it is essential to fabricate a diagnostic system with adequate sensitivity for identification of these disorders.
The rubric of postpartum disorders may be particularly important for developing countries. Indian studies have found high rates of post partum depression (16% to 23%) and have highlighted the importance of social factors, specifically poverty and female gender of the infant as risk factors for the same (Patel et al 2002; Chandran et al 2002).
Current status of postpartum disorder in ICD 10: The ICD-10, permits the classification of mental and behavioural disorders associated with the puerperium (F53) only if they have an onset within six weeks of delivery and if they cannot be classified elsewhere in the ICD 10 either because insufficient information is available or because it is considered that special additional clinical features are present that make classification elsewhere inappropriate. It will usually be possible to classify mental disorders associated with puerperium by using two other codes: the first is elsewhere in chapter V (F) and indicates the specific type of mental disorder (usually affective F30-F39), and the second is O99.3 (mental diseases and diseases of the nervous system complicating the puerperium) of ICD 10. The DSM-IV, with an even shorter onset specifier of four weeks, is restricted to four diagnoses only, and likewise is rarely used. In the light of available evidence that post partum disorders can occur for periods up to 1 year post delivery and that symptoms may have onset during the last trimester of pregnancy the current “6 weeks post partum onset” diagnostic criteria in ICD 10 is too restrictive.
Specific features of postnatal mood disorder are acknowledged in the text of DSM IV (e.g., fluctuating course and mood lability, delusions including the baby, risk of infanticide, disinterest in the infant, guilt because of dissonance between the mother's mood and society's expectation of happiness, and less than optimum development of a mother/infant relationship). These features are not described in the ICD 10.
Recent literature shows a growing focus on the entire perinatal period for mental health of the mother as this period significantly influences the healthy development of the fetus and the newborn. The perinatal mental health period spans conception to two years after childbirth according to some experts (Kowalenko et al 2000; Currid, 2004). It is the time when women are most likely to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital (Dean and Kendell, 1981), are at increased risk of experiencing an affective mental illness, and those with a pre-existing mental illness are more prone to relapse or recurrence of the condition (R C Psych 2000; Pritchard & Harris, 1996). A meta-analysis of 59 studies (including 12,810 women, mainly from developed countries) found an average prevalence rate of non-psychotic postnatal depression (PND) of 13% (95% CI - 12.3%-13.4%) (O' Hara et al, 1996). Most cases develop within the first 3 months, with a peak incidence at 4-6 weeks. Although one study showed that most cases last around 3 months and resolve spontaneously without treatment, another study showed that 50% of cases lasted over 6 months and some persisted at 4 years. Two prospective studies from Goa and Tamil Nadu detected depressive disorder in 23% and 16% respectively, with depression persisting six months after child birth in 11%-14% of women (Chandran et al 2002; Patel et al 2002). Depression and anxiety often begin in pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester, and so ‘perinatal’ rather than postnatal depression might be a better term.
However, the evidence for familial aggregationwas significant for narrowly defined postpartum depression (onsetwithin 4-8 weeks of delivery) but not for a broader definition(onset within 6 months of delivery) that is perhaps more typicalof the way the diagnosis is used as a lay term and applied inclinical practice (Forty et al, 2006). Based on such evidence, the Satra Bruk classification workshop held in Sweden in 1999, proposed to add a postnatal onset specifier of 3 months (Elliot, 2000).
Balancing available scientific evidence with common clinical usage a proposal for ICD 11 is to replace the duration of onset in the puerperium by onset from conception to 3 months post delivery i.e., the perinatal period.
Recently delivered mothers are vulnerable to the entire spectrum of general psychiatric disorders, as well as those resulting from the physical and psychological changes of childbirth. The postpartum “blues” can be part of the normative postpartum adjustment and affect up to 80% of women (Robin, 1962; Pitt, 1968). The mild symptoms of the blues differ qualitatively and quantitatively from postpartum major depression and do not interfere with maternal role functioning (Miller, 1999).
The prevalence of major or minor depression in pregnant women ranges from 7% to 26% (Chandran et al 2002; Patel et al 2002; Moses-Kolko & Roth, 2004). Depression during pregnancy is a strong predictor of postpartum depression and is associated with adverse effects on fetal development (Graff et al, 1991; Chandran et al 2002; Patel et al 2002). The reported rate of recurrence of postnatal depression (PND) after a subsequent childbirth is 30% and the rate is higher for women in whom the first episode of PND is the first-ever depressive episode, compared with the rate in women who have had previous non-puerperal depression (41% vs. 18%) (Cooper & Murray, 1995).
Most cases of post-partum psychosis are manic-depressive in form, and there is much evidence for a close connection between puerperal and bipolar disorders. Nearly half of women with bipolar disorder experience childbearing-related episodes (Blehar et al, 1998), predominantly depression. Another literature links post-partum and 'cycloid' (acute polymorphic) psychoses.
Post-partum anxiety disorders are underemphasized and may be more common than depression (Matthey et al, 2003). A review of eight studies of 'panic disorder' showed that 44% anxious women had an exacerbation and 10% a new onset, in the puerperium (Hertzberg, 1999). The focus of anxiety is also important, because it may indicate specific psychological treatment. Since the pioneering study of Bydlowski and Raoul-Duval (1978), over 40 papers have appeared on PTSD resulting from stressful parturition. There have been eight quantitative studies, showing rates up to 5.6% (Creedy et al, 2000). Obsessions of infanticide were among the first post-partum disorders to be described (Chapman, 1959; Button, 1972). Other morbid phenomena can also become a problem for some mothers. A disorder akin to dysmorphophobia, based on the bodily changes resulting from pregnancy and childbirth, is common.
The available evidence regarding etiology, familiality and course of postpartum mental illness especially postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis, the two most studied disorders do not support post partum disorders as a distinct diagnostic entity. Though the exact etiology is unknown, childbirth seems to act as a specific trigger for many mental disorders in line with the stress diathesis model. As nearly the entire spectrum of mood disorders, psychotic disorders and anxiety and stress related conditions are seen in the perinatal period we propose that the specifier ‘onset within perinatal period’ should be added to all diagnoses in mood disorder, psychosis and adjustment disorder sections (ICD-10 F20-29, F30-39, F43 ).
Psychiatric disorders occurring in the postpartum period have many unique features. Chandran et al (2002) assessed 50 Indian women admitted to a psychiatric hospital for severe mental illness occurring in the postpartum period. Nearly half (43%) of the mothers reported infanticidal ideas, 36% reported infanticidal behavior, and 34% reported both infanticidal ideas and behavior. Logistic regression analyses indicated that presence of depression and psychotic ideas predicted infanticidal ideas, whereas presence of psychotic ideas toward the infant predicted infanticidal behavior.
Many mothers are excessively anxious about the health and safety of their children or they may fear the awesome responsibility of infant care. Most mothers are shielded from this by family support, but it can be a problem in isolated nuclear families. A mother with infant-focused anxiety may develop a phobia for the infant (Sved-Williams, 1992). Fear of cot death can reach pathological proportions (Weightman et al, 1999). Its main manifestation is nocturnal vigilance – the mother lying awake listening to the infant's breathing, with frequent checks that lead to exhausting sleep deprivation. As mentioned earlier, obsessions of infanticide were among the first post-partum disorders to be described (Chapman, 1959; Button, 1972) and a disorder akin to dysmorphophobia, based on the bodily changes resulting from pregnancy and childbirth is common.
Specific features of postnatal mood disorder are not acknowledged in the ICD 10 though they appear in the text of DSM IV (e.g., fluctuating course and mood lability, etc.). It is recommended that the text description of various disorders should highlight features specific to the perinatal period.
Developing a relationship with the newborn is the central and most important psychological process of the puerperium. A disturbed mother infant relationship is phenomenon distinct from depression. On one hand, mothers’ aversion to her infant is often disproportionate to depression and can occur without it; on the other hand, only a minority of depressed mothers has a relationship problem with their infants. This has led to proposals for a distinct ‘disorder of impaired mother-infant interaction’ (Brockington, 2004). Disorders of the mother-infant relationship are prominent in 10-25% of mothers referred to psychiatrists after childbirth. The etiology is probably different from post-partum depression, with more emphasis on unwanted pregnancy and challenging infant behaviour.
The main reason for the neglect of these disorders is their absence from ICD-10 and DSM-IV. In ICD-10, attachment disorders of childhood (reactive 94.1 and disinhibited 94.2) and 'Z codes' that include hostility towards the child, and scapegoating, address issues related only to the child's psychiatric state. One of the challenges for ICD-11 and DSM-V is to find a place for these disorders, so that they can be recognized by practitioners, and referred for expert treatment (Ainsworth et al, 1972; Salariya et al,1984; Hipwell & Kumar, 1996; Nagata et al, 2000; Brockington et al, 2001).
Though research in this area is lacking, the identification of this concept will sharpen the focus of studies aimed at preventing child abuse and neglect. Disorders of mother infant interaction may be included in the category F 53.

Many South Asian psychiatrists would question the relevance of diagnosing and studying personality disorders. A major reason for the lack of interest in these conditions is their apparent rarity. A meta-analysis of general population studies carried out in India puts the prevalence figure for personality disorders at 0.6 per 1000 (Reddy and Chandrashekhar 1998). Very low rates have also been reported from Sri Lanka (Wijesinghe et al 1978). However, there are several shortcomings in the surveys conducted in developing countries (de Girolamo and Reich 1993).
Since the publication of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-III) in 1980 and its creation of a separate diagnostic axis (i.e. Axis II) for personality disorders, interest in the description and classification of personality disorders has expanded dramatically in the West. Between 20% and 40% of outpatients and more than 50% of inpatients in the western psychiatric set-up are reported to have comorbid personality disorders (Tyrer et al 1991). Comorbidity studies in India also suggest that personality disorders are common. In recent Indian studies, rates as high as 37.5% in patients with bipolar disorder, 40.8% in those with major depressive disorder (Naidu et al 1998) and 25.6% in those with substance use disorder (Kishore et al 1994) have been reported.
If personality disorders were a common but benign condition, there would still be no pragmatic reason to study them. However, they lead to a disturbance in functioning as great as that in most major mental disorders (Nakao et al 1992). Personality disorders are associated with high rates of separation and divorce; unemployment and inefficiency; and poor quality of life for the individual and his/her family. Patients with personality' disorders have an increased risk of mortality through suicide, homicide and accidents. Also, when a personality disorder is present, treatment of other coexisting psychiatric or medical conditions is frequently more complicated, lengthier, or less successful; a pattern that may at times be due to lack of recognition of the personality disorder (Oldham 1994).
The ICD-10 and DSM-IV are different but overlapping classification systems. Both have adopted polythetic diagnosis criterion a polythetic approach as against a monothetic approach. There are some differences in the nomenclatures such as anankastic in ICD-10 is obsessive-compulsive in DSM-IV, anxious in ICD-10 is avoidant in DSM-IV, and dissocial in ICD-10 is antisocial in DSM-IV. In ICD-10, borderline and impulsive personality disorders are viewed as subtypes of emotionally unstable personality disorder. In ICD-10, schizotypal disorder is considered to be an attenuated manifestation of schizophrenia and is categorized with the psychotic disorders; narcissistic, depressive and passive aggressive personality disorders do not find a mention.
There are also several marked differences in the criteria of the two systems and some minor variation in wording. The ICD-10 form of paranoid personality disorder includes excessive self-importance and self-reference as criteria, while in DSM-IV excessive self-importance forms a central part of narcissistic personality disorders. DSM-IV's schizoid personality disorder omits preoccupation with fantasy and introspection as criteria, though these are required in ICD-10.On the other hand, DSM-IV's antisocial personality disorder requires features of childhood conduct disorder, and emphasizes on law-breaking and criminal acts, while ICD-10's dissocial personality disorder does not mention childhood conduct symptoms in its set of criteria and is more concerned with generic concepts such as lack of empathy, inability to profit from experience and inability to maintain enduring relationships. In general, ICD-10 maintains a division between personality and mental state less clearly; for example, allowing the inclusion of persistent feelings of anxiety as a criterion in anxious personality disorder, and of obsessions in anankastic personality disorder.
ICD-10 requires the presence of three of the seven criteria to make a diagnosis (except for emotionally unstable personality disorder), while DSM-IV requires four or five from a list that varies from seven to nine (with the exception of antisocial personality disorder) (Sara et al 1996).
Current classification systems employ a categorical model for classifying personality disorders. However, there is considerable overlap among personality disorders. The dimensional model of classification has been proposed as a means to overcome these problems, as it can provide flexible, comprehensive and reliable information on subjects. However, much of the external validity research that is available currently has been conducted using categorical concepts, even though data on dimensional conceptualization of personality disorders is fast accumulating. Data support sometimes categorical, sometimes dimensional and sometimes both types of concepts.
Epidemiology: The prevalence of personality disorders defined in categorical terms range from 10.3% to 13.5% in community samples when assessment instruments specific to these disorders are used. The rate varied with age, with some decrease in older age groups. Urban populations and lower socioeconomic groups showed higher rates. The sex ratio was different for specific types of personality disorders, though the overall rate of prevalence was roughly equal for the two sexes (Reich and de Girolamo 1997). Prevalence rates of personality disorders may be lower in developing countries but methodological shortcomings in surveys done in these countries preclude direct comparisons. In the International Pilot Study of Personality Disorders (IPSPD), the following personality disorders were frequently diagnosed in a clinical sample at Bangalore (India): schizotypal (19.1 %) and borderline (14.7%) according to the DSM-III-R system; and emotionally unstable (8.6%) according to the ICD-I0 system (Loranger et al1997).
Reliability: The overlap between personality disorders defined in categorical terms is a reason forthe modest reliability seen in diagnosis, when different categorical conceptualizations of the same personality disorder (Hirshfield and Holzer 1994), different diagnostic systems (Sara et al 1996), or even different instruments operationalizing the same diagnostic system (Zimmerman 1994) are used.
Face validity: The face validity of the criteria sets for categorical definitions is low forboth the DSM-IIIR (Blashfield and Breen 1989) and ICD10 (Blashfield 1990) personality disorders.
Biological studies: There is some genetic support to categorical conceptualization of cluster A personality disorders, which are seen as existing in a genetic spectrum with psychotic disorders (Siever 1994, Siever, 2005). Antisocial personality disorder also appears to be heritable (Cadoret et al1995), but the specificity of a familial/genetic relationship of other personality disorders is suspect (Reich 1989; Torgersen 1994). On the other hand, Livesley and coworkers (Livesley et al 1992; Livesley 2005) demonstrated that 15 of the 18 personality disorder dimensions thought to underlie the DSM-III-R personality disorders had heritability in the range of 30%-60%. The results were similar to those reported for normal personalities and suggested a continuity between the normal and disordered personality.
Neuroimaging studies have provided some evidence for categorically defined personality disorders, e.g. increased ventricular-to-brain ratio and inefficient prefrontal cerebral processing in schizotypal subjects (Siever 1994). Positron emission tomography (PET) studies have also demonstrated some abnormalities in patients with antisocial personality disorder and metabolite borderline personality disorder (Doaln 1994; De la Fuente et al 1998; Pidimore et al 2005; Schmahl and Bremner 2006).
Neurochemical studies on the other hand have mainly provided evidence for dimensional conceptualization of personality features. E.g. schizotypal patients who display features of the deficit dimension have low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of the dopamine metabolite homovanillic acid (HVA) and those who have features of psychotic dimension have high CSF HVA levels (Siever 1994). In patients with duster B personality disorders (antisocial and borderline), 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA) (a metabolite of serotonin) levels in the CSF and parameters of 5-HT (serotonin) functioning have been found to be inversely related to dimensions of impulsive aggression and negative affect. Also, platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) levels are inversely related to dimensions of sensation-seeking and impulsivity (Dolan 1994; Coccarro et al 1997; Lara and Akiskal 2006, Lyons-Ruth et al, 2007).
Electrophysiological studies provide some evidence for categorically defined concepts. Abnormalities in relation to eye-movement and information processing have been reported to occur in patients with schizotypal personality disorder (Cadenhead et al 1993; Siever 1994; Evans et al 2007). Patients with borderline personality disorder have a decreased latency and increased density of rapid eye movements (REM) during sleep EEG recording. Some studies have also reported eye movement dysfunction and auditory evoked potential abnormalities in these patients (Lahmeyer et al1989; De la Fuente et al 1998; Boutros et al 2003; Howard and McCullagh, 2007). Evoked potential studies done under distraction conditions in patients with antisocial personality disorder reveal abnormalities in the P300 wave, suggesting deficits in information processing.
Treatment Studies: These studies have largely supported dimensional concepts. In general, pharmacotherapy aims at the correction of target symptoms such as aggression and behavioural dyscontrol, anxiety and mood dysregulation, and psychotic symptoms (including cognitive distortions) (Stein 1992; Cloninger et al 1997; Mohan 2002; Lara and Akiskal 2006). The limited data available on analytic psychotherapy (Bateman and Fonagy 1999) also do not support a diagnosis-based approach However, some data on other forms of psychotherapy have shown promise for specific categories of personality disorders, e.g. cognitive-behavioural therapy in avoidant personality disorder (Alden 1989) and dialectical behaviour therapy for borderline personality disorder (Linehan et al 1991).
Course and outcome: The literature regarding the long-term outcome of personality disorders is sparse (Skodol et al 2007). Most attention has been paid to formerly institutionalized patients with borderline, antisocial and schizotypal personality disorders. Borderline patients at 10-25 years follow up have a wide range of outcomes, from clinical recovery (50%-60%) to suicide (3%-9%). Suicide is particularly common in patients who have co-morbid depression or a history of substance abuse. If psychopathic traits are prominent, the long-term outcome in antisocial persons is bleak, though a substantial proportion of persons who exhibit a pattern of antisocial behaviour alone, recovers by the fourthdecade of life (Stone 1993). Schizotypal patients tend to remain isolated and lead marginal lives.
Boundary problems: within categorically defined personality disorders: Even though moderate internal consistency may exist forDSM-IIIR criteria sets of individual personality disorders, the correlation with other personality disorders is fairly high (Nunberger et al 1994; Widiger 2003). Consequently, there is a high rate of comorbidity (1.3 to 6.0) between personality disorders (Dolan et al 1995). Studies using multivariate statistical techniques have found that dimensions derived empirically bear a resemblance to some DSM-IIIR diagnoses but the correspondence between them is not close. In general, these studies have partially supported the cluster concept of the DSM system, with usually four superordinate factors corresponding to clusters I, II, III and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder emerging across many but not all studies (Hyler and Lyons 1988; Schroeder and Livesley 1991; Mulder and Joyce 1997; Skodol et al, 2007). The current classification systems have been criticized for either making over-refined descriptive distinctions, or forwrongly conceptualizing personality disorders as categories when they might be more properly described as trait dimensions.
Boundary problems: between personality disorders (Axis II) and symptom (state) disorders (Axis I): Although the distinction between Axes I and II disorders is valuable from the clinical point of view, the differentiation between the two sets of disorders is often problematic and at times even illusory. Particular problems exist in relation to differentiation between schizotypal personality disorder and schizophrenia spectrum disorders; borderline personality disorder and mood disorders; antisocial personality disorder and substance use disorders; and avoidant personality disorder and social phobia (Widiger and Shea 1991).
Boundary problems: between normal personality and personality disorder: Supporters of dimensional approach view personality disorders as extremes of temperamental traits found in the normal population (Schroeder and Livesley 1991; Costa and Widiger 1994; Paris 1997). The main reservations against this approach have been that (i) it has not been shown whether the three to five major dimensions found to describe normal personality (Digman 1990) also continuously underlie personality disorders; and (ii) some of the symptoms of personality disorders e.g. suicidal behaviour, self-mutilation do not have normative personality counterparts (Lenzwenger and Clarkin 1996). However, Livesley et al. (1992) showed that trait dimensions of personality disorders underlying DSM-III-R personality disorders in patient and general population samples are continuously distributed. They also demonstrated considerable similarity between the second-order factors (four) of personality pathology traits and four of the 'big five' factors of normal personality (Schroeder and Livesley 1991).
Authors who have used dimensional scaling techniques (Widiger et al 1987; Schroeder and Livesley 1991; Livesley et al 1992) and some who have carried out biological investigations in the area of personality disorders (Livesley et al 1993; Coccarro et al 1997) feel that the dimensional model fits the data on personality pathology in a better way. However, there are problems with this approach. It is not clear how personality pathology is actually organized at the latent level. The limited empirical evidence available suggests that schizotypy (Lenzwenger and Korfine 1992), borderline pathology (Trull et al 1990) and psychopathy (Harris et al 1994) may be organized as categories at the latent level. Further, biologists such as Kagan et al. (1987) and Magnusson (1986) noted that at least some personality traits may be dealt with in terms of physiobehavioural composites that are qualitatively distinct (categorical) rather than continuous (dimensional). In defence of the dimensional model, it may be said that the categorical criteria sets of schizotypal, borderline and antisocial personality disorders have been criticized for being saturated with items conveying the presence of symptomatic acts rather than personality traits (Stone 1993). Thus, they may have been more liable to show discreteness. The matter has not been adequately explored up to now for exclusive reliance on one or the other type of concepts.
Apart from the categories of personality disorders, ICD 11 should provide for agreed upon dimensions of personality and personality disorders. Evidence based candidates may be:
Dimensional models of personality:
Dimensional models of PDs:
Livesley and Jackson (1992) suggest ways to improve the classification of personality disorders by changing the way the classification is developed, evaluated, and modified so that it successively approximates a valid system. They argue that the first step in developing a classification is to ensure the content validity of diagnostic concepts because this is a prerequisite for other components of validity. Using trait and behavioural exemplars together in personality disorder criterion is a way to improve the content validity of personality disorders as it helps in tying the criterion to the concept and structure of the personality disorder, and in clarifying the nature of diagnostic items and the model for organizing diagnostic decisions. An example of using trait and behavioural exemplars together is given below:
Gross and persistent attitude of irresponsibility and disregard for social norms, rules and obligations, e.g. leaving a child less than 3 years of age alone at home for an hour to go and buy alcohol, dring at high speed around a blind corner, takes bribes, etc.
Specification of trait and behaviour exemplars would reduce the discrepancy between DSM-IV's antisocial personality disorder, which emphasizes law-breaking and criminal acts; and ICD-10's dissocial personality disorder, which is more concerned with generic concepts such as lack of empathy, inability to profit from experience and inability to maintain enduring relationships.
Defining the trait underlying the behaviour will also clarify the differentiation between Axis I and Axis II disorders. The differentiation between Axes I and II disorders parallels to some extent the distinction between personality traits and emotional states. Neuroticism, for example, involves the disposition to experience negative affects (McCrae and Costa 1990), and a correlation with mood states supports rather than questions its validity (Watson and Clark 1984). States and traits may best be conceptualized under prototypal concepts that provide meaningful distinction, but merge into each other at the boundaries (coaxial syndrome). It is useful to retain the differentiation because it has been shown that states affect personality domains differently, with relatively large parts of personality and behaviour (e.g. novelty-seeking, reward dependence) remaining unaffected by current states such as anxiety or depression (Svrakic et al 1992). Efforts to increase the distinction between state and trait disorders by adding or deleting existing criteria might change the meaning of the construct under study, e.g. borderline personality disorder would not remain the same if affective instability were to be removed from its description (Widiger and Shea 1991). On the other hand, defining the trait features consistently will improve reliability without compromising on validity.
The International Pilot Study for Personality Disorders (IPSPD) (Loranger et al 1997) demonstrated that personality disorders, as presently defined, could be identified at all sites (multinational, multilingual, multicultural). Similarly, cross-national studies suggest that the Three Factor Model of Eysenck (Eysenck 1982) and Five Factor Model (Costa and Widiger 1994) were invariant across cultures. However, these studies do not confirm the cross-cultural validity or usefulness of western diagnostic categories or personality dimensions, as they may have identified ethnic artefacts rather then culturally meaningful configurations (Lewis-Fernandez and Kleinman 1994). The five factors that emerged on the use of a lexicon of Chinese trait descriptors were different from the factors extracted from the Chinese translation of English words from an established five-factor questionnaire (Yang and Bond 1990). It has been hypothesized that culture can influence: the genetic selection of specific temperamental characteristics in highly inbred groups, learning inside and outside the family, the threshold when personality vulnerability cannot be compensated by the person, and the social threshold when such decompensations are labeled pathological (Neki 1970; Paris 1997).
From a cultural constructionist perspective, personality disorders are based on Anglo-American concepts of personhood and codes of appropriate bahaviour and owe their existence to the medicalization of disvalued social behaviour. Anxious (avoidant) and dependent personality disorders were excluded from the Chinese classificatory system because of the apparent rarity of these disorders and because it was felt that some of the defining features (e.g. subordination of one’s own needs to those of others on whom one is dependent) were normative in the Chinese culture which defines personhood not by autonomy and assertiveness but by intergenerational interdependence and self-effacement (Mezzich et al 2000).
In a similar way histrionic and dependent personality disorder may not be very useful in the Indian context. An observation of 290 cases (two thirds randomly selected and one third selected because of evidence of personality pathology) in a North-Western Indian clinical sample drawn from a general hospital setting (Sharan 2001) revealed only two case of histrionic personality disorder (0.7%) and 1 case of dependent personality disorder (0.3%). These disorders were not reported in the Bangalore centre (sample drawn from mental hospital setting) of the IPSPD also (Loranger et al1997). Histrionic behaviour may not be reported (histrionic personality disorder dimension had a moderately negative correlation with the lie/social desirability scale) or may be suppressed due to social disapproval, while dependent behaviour may be culturally normative. Specific problems with the criteria sets found in the Indian context were:
Dependent PD (DPD)
Histrionic PD (HPD)
ICD-10 requires the presence of three of the seven criteria to make a diagnosis (except for emotionally unstable personality disorder), while DSM-IV requires four or five from a list that varies from seven to nine (with the exception of antisocial personality disorder) (Sara et al1996). Livesley et al (1987) developed reliable scales to assess more than 50 traits thought to underlie each of the DSM III personality disorders.
The larger number of traits for each personality disorder would improve content coverage for personality disorders ensuring that they are not too narrowly defined. This expansion would also make it possible to include more culture-specific traits in the criterion set without reducing the possibility of making the diagnosis cross-culturally - with the help of other (less culture-specific) criteria.
ICD-10 requires the presence of three of the seven criteria to make a diagnosis for all personality disorders, except for emotionally unstable PD – impulsive type, in which only 2 of 5 criteria suffice. Three criteria of this disorder have overlapping behavioural referrants, hence the diagnosis can be made very easily. This is reflected in Indian studies. Emotionally unstable PD – impulsive type was the commonest diagnosis in an enriched clinical sample (two thirds randomly selected, one third selected for personality pathology) from Chandiagrh (4.1% definite diagnosis, 6.6% probable diagnosis) (Sharan, 2001); and also in the Bangalore sample of the IPSPD (4.3%) (Loranger et al 1997). However, clinicians rarely use the diagnosis owing perhaps to the unfamiliarity of the concept or because they think that it is only a part syndrome (Sharan, 2001).
Specification of mixed PD does not mention the number criteria required and the number of types of PD from which these criteria should be selected. Further, the mixed category may have no added advantage in a situation where all personality disorders have a lot of overlap and comorbid diagnosis is the norm.
No substantial empirical data have accrued to substantiate the validity of the following entities:
Hence, giving them a status above better established entities like narcissistic personality disorder appears anomalous.
Sharan (2001) found unexpectedly large (>0.4) correlation between the dimensional scores of ICD 10 paranoid and dissocial and emotionally unstable personality disorders. This is reflected in clinical experience (Sharan, paper submitted for publication) where a constellation of traits which can be tentatively termed as controlling/dominating personality disorder, present often for treatment. They seem to share features of emotionally unstable, paranoid (with narcissistic elements) and anankastic personality disorders. Studies of normal personality dimensions carried out in eastern cultures have noted rotational differences in structure, e.g. rotation of extraversion and agreeableness axes towards dominance and affiliation (Kagitbak et al 1996). Kagitbak et al (1996) feel that cultural nuances like an emphasis on smooth interpersonal relationships in Asia may be responsible for this shift of axes. It is understandable that conflicted dominance may show up (be labelled as) a personality disorder in cultures that emphasize subservience to hierarchy. In a similar way, while anxious (avoidant) personality was excluded from the Chinese classificatory system, Shinkeisitsu and Tajin Kyoufu (avoiding/rejecting due to interpersonal sensitivity) personality were described in Japan (Ono et al 1996). Shinkeisitsu and Tajin Kyoufu may reflect conflicts along the dimension of affiliation.
Controlling/dominating personality disorder and Tajin Kyoufu have parallels in the Structural Analysis of Social Behaviour (SASB) model (Benjamin 1996) where interpersonal behaviours as conceptualized as constituted by inputs from two primary dimensions - interdependence (dominance/submission versus independence) and affiliation (aggression versus sexuality).
Kernberg (1996) regards affects to be instinctive components of human behavior that emerge in the earliest stages of development and are gradually organized as part of early object relations into gratifying, rewarding, pleasurable affects or libido as an overarching drive, and into painful, aversive, negative affects which are organized into aggression as an overarching drive. Rage represents the basic affect of aggression as a drive, and its vicissitudes explain the origins of hatred and envy, as well as of anger and irritability as moods. He suggests that the earliest function of rage is the effort to eliminate a source of irritation or pain. A second function of rage is to eliminate an obstacle or barrier toward gratification. The third, developmentally a higher level function of rage is the elimination of a bad object that is intra psychically perceived as a willful source of frustration standing between the self and the gratification of a need. At a more advanced level, the wish is no longer to destroy the bad object, but to make it suffer. At a further level of development, the wish to make the bad object suffer shifts into the wish to dominate and control the bad object in order to avoid fears of persecution from it; as obsessive mechanisms attempt to regulate the suppression or repression of aggression. Finally, the original self-affirmative implications of rage may be seen in sublimatory aspects of the aggressive response in the search for autonomy and self-affirmation, and for freedom from external control. We feel that the controlling/dominating personality disorder person probably operates at the level where the wish to make the bad object suffer shifts into the wish to dominate and control the bad object as obsessive mechanisms attempt to regulate the suppression or repression of aggression but often fail to do so.

The diagnostic criteria for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) followed by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM – IV) should be incorporated as it is in the ICD 11 edition. Thus, the criteria should be as follows:
I. Either A or B:
A.Six or more of the following symptoms of inattention have been present for at least 6 months to a point that is disruptive and inappropriate for the developmental level:
Often does not follow instructions and fails to finish schoolwork, chores, or duties in the workplace (not due to oppositional behavior or failure to understand instructions).
Often avoids, dislikes, or doesn't want to do things that take a lot of mental effort for a long period of time (such as schoolwork or homework).
Often loses things needed for tasks and activities (e.g. toys, school assignments, pencils, books, or tools).
B.Six or more of the following symptoms of hyperactivity-impulsivity have been present for at least 6 months to an extent that is disruptive and inappropriate for developmental level:
The following categories for hyperkinetic disorder should be used in ICD 11.
Suggested criteria:
Evidence for the Proposed Changes
The current diagnostic criteria for hyperkinetic disorder in the ICD 10 differ from the diagnostic criteria incorporated in DSM IV in the following ways:
§ ICD 10 has divided the symptoms of hyperkinetic disorder into 3 main clusters – inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity; DSM IV, on the other hand, has combined the hyperactivity and impulsivity clusters.
§ ICD 10 requires that the child should meet the criteria in more than one situation, whereas DSM IV requires the child has impairment in more than one situation (rather than meeting the entire criteria in more than one situation).
For ADHD/ hyperkinetic disorder, DSM IV criteria are better researched, while ICD 10 descriptions are used more often in clinics. Consequently, much of the published articles work relate to DSM IV criteria of ADHD.
Epidemiological studies: Malhi and Singhi (2000) reported that 8.1% of a consecutive sample of 245 children referred for evaluation to the Psychology outpatient services of the Department of Pediatrics of a tertiary care teaching hospital had ADHD. In a similar study, Mukhopadhyay et al (2003) found that 15.5% of children presenting to a child guidance clinic in a pediatric hospital over a one year period had ADHD. These studies demonstrated the utility of the ADHD diagnosis and the ease of applicability of DSM IV criteria in the Indian pediatric population.
Phenomenology: A factor analysis of symptoms of the disorder showed that a two-factor model had the best fit to the data – inattention and hyperactivity/ impulsivity (Hudziak et al, 1998). This supports the DSM IV proposal of two subtypes of ADHD rather than the three subtypes proposed by ICD 10. Studies have shown that while ADHD is a broad, heterogeneous category, the subgroup of children diagnosed as hyperkinetic disorder (the subtype in ICD 10) fit in the severe ADHD combined subtype of DSM IV criteria (El-Sayed et al, 2003).
Course and prognosis: A study that compared the predictive validity of ADHD according to ICD 10 and DSM IV criteria (Lahey et al. 2006) concluded that while both ICD-10 hyperkinetic disorder and DSM-IV ADHD exhibit predictive validity over 6 years, ICD-10 hyperkinetic disorder appears to under-identify children with persistent ADHD symptoms and related impairment. Children who met criteria for DSM-IV ADHD but not hyperkinetic disorder exhibited at least as much functional impairment over time as hyperkinetic children. A review by El-Sayed et al (2003) concluded that children showing symptoms above the threshold for a diagnosis of ADHD according to DSM IV are at risk of developing co morbid conditions and increasing stress in both parents and teachers. Theses reports suggest that children with features of ADHD, who cannot be diagnosed by ICD 10, but receive such a diagnosis according to DSM IV criteria need to be identified and managed appropriately.
The hyperkinetic disorder (ADHD) in ICD 10 and DSM IV is currently sub classified as follows (Table 1):
ICD 10 | DSM IV |
---|---|
F90.0 Disturbance of activity and attention | 314.01 ADHD, combined type (ADHD-C) 314.02 ADHD, predominantly inattention type (ADHD-I) 314.03 ADHD, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type (ADHD-HI) |
F98.8 Inclusion term in other specified behavioral and emotional disorders | |
--- | |
F90.1 Hyperkinetic conduct disorder | --- |
F90.8 Other hyperkinetic disorder | --- |
F90.9 Hyperkinetic disorder, unspecified | ADHD NOS |
ICD: International Classification of Disease; DSM: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual
ADHD: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
The authors propose the following categories to be used for hyperkinetic disorder/ADHD in ICD 11:
Epidemiological studies: Studies using the DSM IV criteria show that ADHD – inattentive subtype is the most common one followed by ADHD – combined subtype (2nd most common) and ADHD – hyperactive impulsive subtype (Graetz et al, 2001; Ford et al, 2003). The study by Malhi and Singhi (2000) confirmed that all the 3 subtypes of ADHD (according to DSM IV criteria) were common in India – 50% of the children had hyperactive-impulsive subtype, 35% had the inattentive subtype and 15% had the combined subtype.
Sociodemographic profile: Studies have shown that ADHD-hyperactive impulsive subtype is more frequent in the younger age group as compared to the ADHD-inattention subtype (Nolan et al. 1999, Malhi and Singhi, 2000). It also has been seen that ADHD-inattention subtype is more common among females than males (Biederman et al. 2002).
Comorbidity: Studies have shown differences in the comorbidity between the three subtypes of ADHD. Thus, higher rates of anxiety and depression were seen in those with ADHD-combined subtype and ADHD-inattention subtype compared to those with ADHD-hyperactive impulsive subtype (MTA Cooperative Group, 1999). One study has found higher rates of bipolar disorder and tic disorder in those with ADHD-combined subtype (Faraone et al, 1998). Oppositional defiant and conduct disorders are most commonly seen in children with ADHD-combined subtype, followed by ADHD-hyperactive impulsive and ADHD-inattention subtypes (Morgan et al, 1996). An Indian study (Malhi and Singhi, 2000) found differences between the 3 subtypes with respect to intelligence, academic difficulties, relationship with peers and behavioral problems.
Family studies: Though some studies have shown increased rates of a particular subtype in the relatives of the affected children (Faraone et al. 2000), other studies have not found such increased rates (Smalley et al, 2000). Thus the family studies have been inconclusive.
Treatment response: Studies on differential stimulant treatment response among various subtypes of hyperkinetic disorder/ADHD are not available as most of the trials have only recruited children with combined ADHD (MTA Cooperative Group, 1999). Studies that have employed other subtypes, have not reported treatment response separately (Kratochvil et al, 2002).
Course and prognosis: The degree and type of impairment have been shown to be different among different subtypes of ADHD. Lahey et al (2006) have shown that ADHD-combined and ADHD-hyperactive impulsive subtypes have greater impairment than ADHD-inattention subtype. It is also seen that ADHD-inattention subtype is associated with more academic problems, whereas ADHD-hyperactive impulsive subtype is associated with more social and behavioral problems (Gadow et al, 2000; Graetz et al, 2001).
Thus, studies have shown that there are several differences between the subtypes of ADHD, thereby making it important to recognize these subtypes.
Co-occurrence: While most children who meet the criteria for conduct disorder also meet the criteria for ADHD; only about one third of adolescents with conduct disorder meet the criteria for ADHD (Reeves et al, 1987; Szatmari et al, 1989).
Impairment: In terms of academic achievement, children with combined ADHD/conduct disorder have higher rates of reading disorders than ADHD and controls (McGee et al, 1984). Children with combined ADHD/conduct disorder were found to be more impaired in verbal skill, visual motor integration and visuospatial skills as compared to children with ADHD and controls (Moffitt and Silva, 1988). An Indian study (Malhotra et al, 1999) compared hyperkinetic conduct disorder (HCD) with conduct disorder and found that the HCD children had lower intelligence, more perinatal complications and delayed milestones.
Family history: Biederman et al (1992) examined the rates of psychiatric diagnosis among relatives of a large sample of ADHD and ADHD/conduct disorder. While the rates of ADHD was the same in both group of relatives, conduct disorder was more common among relatives of combined ADHD/conduct disorder than among ADHD disorder alone. Furthermore, relatives with conduct disorder also tended to have ADHD. This means that the two disorders co-segregated, indicating that ADHD/conduct disorder is a distinct familial subtype.
Course and prognosis: Studies have shown differences in the long term outcomes of both subgroups of children. The ADHD/conduct disorder subgroup showed more antisocial and defiant behaviors (August et al, 1983). Also this group showed a higher rate of substance use. Studies have also concluded that while ADHD itself conveys some risk for adult antisocial behavior, the combined ADHD/conduct disorder group had sharp rise in the risk of adult antisocial personality and criminal conviction (Mannuzza et al, 1989). The Indian study (Malhotra et al, 1999) that compared hyperkinetic conduct disorder (HCD) with conduct disorder also found that the HCD group had an younger age of onset, more gradual development of conduct symptoms and a longer duration of conduct symptoms.
Treatment response: Studies do not show any difference in the response to stimulant treatment between the ADHD/conduct disorder and ADHD group alone (Klonman et al, 1989).
Available evidence suggests that there is a need to have a separate diagnostic subgroup of hyperkinetic disorder.
The group of F70 – F79 consists of mental retardation, which includes the mild, moderate and severe types. Most of the intelligence tests used have a separate category for borderline intelligence. The DSM IV, too, places borderline intelligence in the group of ‘additional conditions that may be a focus of clinical attention’.
Borderline intellectual functioning, has received little attention to date. However, some studies on prevalence of this condition show that it is present in up to 7%–18% of the population (Hassiotis et al, 1999; Ninivaggi, 2001).
In a study by Chen et al (2006), it was seen that children with subaverage cognitive abilities were more likely to develop mental health problems than their counterparts with IQs above 80 in later life. Another study by Hassiotis et al (1999) which have also shown that those with comorbid borderline intelligence and psychotic illness had greater disability and were more likely to suffer extrapyramidal side-effects and show evidence of negative symptoms than those with psychotic illness with normal intelligence. This may lead to difficulties in other domains of adaptive functioning. Thus, studies have shown that individuals with borderline intelligence may require a separate category.
Hence, borderline intelligence should be included in the ‘Z’ category to provide recognition to this condition in the international classificatory system.

The draft proposal for changes in the classification of mental and behavioural disorders towards ICD 11 was prepared under the aegis of the Department of Psychiatry, All India Institute of Medical Sciences for consideration in an Indian Psychiatric Society (IPS) Committee, which will send its recommendations to the World Psychiatric Association (WPA). The draft proposal is also available on the Departmental website.
Each chapter was prepared by faculty members, who were assisted by residents of the department. In preparing their suggestions the authors often referred to the Robins and Guze criteria to evaluate the validity of various categories and specifiers. The initial suggestions made by the authors were discussed in a series of departmental meetings comprising of the entire professional staff of the department and thus the final draft proposal has received inputs from more than 30 trained professional staff from various disciplines (Psychiatry, Clinical Psychology, and Biochemistry) and another 20 professionals in training.
Each chapter of the draft proposal ha the following structure:

Supporting evidence for proposed changes
The clinician is focused on treatment and rehabilitation of individuals or groups while the public health expert seeks to employ a broader range of health interventions which include promotion, preventive, curative or rehabilitative strategies aimed at populations and groups at risk. Thus, the clinicians have a relatively greater interest in the current condition of the patient, and diagnostic categories that are narrow and which predict treatment response; while the public mental health expert is relatively more interested in risk/ causative/ developmental factors toward pathology, service delivery to the population, diagnostic categories that vary in breadth (broad for communicating with non-experts and narrow for some specific interventions) and are predictive of response to the entire range of preventive efforts. Public health experts also look at the broader spectrum of health and their determinants (Mezzich 2002a, 2002b).
Classificatory systems have public mental health implications, e.g. concept of diagnosis is crucial to epidemiology and surveillance of population health (Mezzich 2002a). However, since public health is not the explicit focus of the classificatory exercises, many issues that are relevant to public health, have not been addressed. For example, diagnoses like mixed anxiety depression and age-related cognitive decline are disputed because they are below an ‘appropriate’ threshold, but they contribute significantly to disorder burden. Within the spectrum of mental health intervention, prevention and promotion have become realistic and evidence-based alternatives. These bring new challenges to classification system - the challenge of defining boundaries of disorders, risk categories and normality (Mrazek and Hagerty 1994; Mrazek and Hosman 2002).
Public health also has much to contribute to classification. In an effort to move from descriptive criteria based approach to an etiology based approach, epidemiology serves as the bridge between proposed aetiologies or disease mechanisms and potential manifestations (Caine 2003).
Mental health has been conceptualized in two broad ways: ‘positive’ mental health (Jahoda, 1958; Maslow 1968; Tudor 1996) and ‘functional’ metal health (Hosman 1997). The former considers mental health in terms of qualities such as self-confidence, identity, ability to love, happiness, etc. that are seen as worthwhile to promote because they represent a fundamental human values in themselves. The ‘functional model’ considers mental health more in terms of psychological resources and abilities, that people need to have for a satisfying and productive life e.g. in the domains of health, relationships, work, ability to cope with stress, etc.. For this last part, the functional model of mental health coincides with the concept of protective factors.
A growing body of cross-cultural evidence indicates that various psychological, social and behavioural factors such as secure attachment, an optimistic outlook on life with a sense of purpose and direction, effective strategies for coping with challenge, emotionally rewarding social relationships, etc. are protective of health and supportive to positive mental health (Cacioppo et al 2000; Ryff and Singer 2003). Such protection facilitates resistance (resilience) to disease (disorder), minimizes and delays the emergence of disabilities and promotes more rapid recovery from illness (WHO 2002). Good mental health may also be facilitated by religious/ spiritual feelings, experience, orientation and world view (Bhugra and Osbourne, 2004). Thus, it has to be borne in mind that definition of mental health may be at least partially culture-bound with both commonalities and differences between cultures.
The recognition of positive mental health features in psychiatric patients would also substantially reduce the stigma associated with mental illness. A similar reorientation with reference of classification was achieved in the transformation of International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities and Handicaps (WHO 1980) to International Classification of Functioning (WHO 2001b).
In many situations prevention enhances options for managing disorders e.g. it may be possible to prevent many cases of conduct disorders, while it may be fairly difficult to treat them (Reid 1993). Prevention may also be significant for many individuals, who do not have access to treatment or those who receive inappropriate services. A growing number of randomized controlled prevention trials and community trials have offered evidence for significant changes on a wide variety of targeted outcome indicators, including indicators for risk and protective factors, mental and behavioural disorders and improvements in mental health (Mrazek and Haggerty 1994; Clarke et al 1995; Hosman and Llopis 1999).
Risks do not occur in isolation; in fact many risks cannot be disentangled in order to be considered in isolation as they act at different levels which vary over time. Clearly, one outcome can be caused by many risk factors (equifinality – multiple pathways to the same disorder), but similarly one risk factor can lead to many outcomes (multifinality – overlapping pathways to different disorders). Further, there is a non-linear relationship between risk factors and outcomes. Although one or two risk factors may show little prediction to poor outcome, there are rapidly increasing rates of disorders with additional risk factors (Rutter 1979; Greenberg et al 2001). Another point that needs to be borne in mind about risks is that some of the distal risks cannot appropriately be defined at the individual level (e.g. social disintegration).
Addition of an axis for risk and protective factors in the classificatory system could serve as the link between etiological understanding of disorders and promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative interventions. Risk factors may help in identifying subtypes that may aid in the exploration of pathophysiology and etiology (Andreasen and Carpenter, 1993). The axis on risk factors could be used as a matrix with Axis I (clinical diagnosis), to eliminate the need for some specifiers. For example, postpartum depression could be labelled as depression on Axis I and the specifier 'postpartum' would appear on the axis for risk factors. This axis could replace the Axis III and IV of DSM IV and Axis III of ICD-10 as it is broader in scope. It will end the artificial mind-body divide in relation to etiological factors. In addition, it will emphasize distal social and developmental causes of disorders which are not emphasized in the present classification systems and can be major foci of public mental health policies.
A substantial volume of literature suggests that subthreshold conditions have considerable public health importance. Subthreshold depressions (e.g. mixed anxiety depression, recurrent brief depression, minor depression, etc.) are reported to occur in up to 24% of the general adult (Horwath et al 1992) and 52% of the elderly (Pincus et al 1999) populations. Further, it is difficult to differentiate subthreshold depression and major depressive disorder on the basis of demographic and clinical characteristics; medical and psychiatric comorbidity; dysfunction (subtheshold depression cause five-times more disability days than major depressive disorders and dysthymia combined); follow up studies; outcome (in terms of chronicity and suicide), and a family vulnerability for major depression (Broadhead et al 1990; Johnson et al 1992; Judd et al 1998).
However, since less than one-fourth of subjects with minor depression develop major depression (Broadhead et al 1990; Wells et al 1992) in most cases subthreshold depression should be considered as an indicator of risk for developing threshold depression - a focus for indicated prevention (a subcategory of primary prevention). Subthreshold depressive categories should therefore be included in the classification under the rubric of prevention relevant categories.
Regier et al (2002) suggest that the diagnostic thresholds in current classificatory systems reflect an emphasis on treatment over prevention. Altering the threshold for caseness will change the latitude for prevention and treatment within the public mental health spectrum. Assignment of boundaries between normal states, high risk states and disorders can be made on the basis of empirical studies of risk (Vasan et al 2002). Definition of prevention relevant categories would encourage studies aimed at understanding their causation (Pincus et al 1999; 2003) and early intervention for those at risk for future morbidity, comorbidity and mortality rather than limiting intervention to after significant morbidity has occurred.
The preoccupation with over-refined categories and subcategories has led to complex diagnostic systems that are difficult to use in the community setting. Moreover, the evergrowing list of types/subtypes contains many conditions that are rarely diagnosed (Bertelsen 2002).
Definition of broad categories would be useful from the promotion and prevention perspective. Over the last 3 decades, the majority of evidence-based promotive and preventive trials have focused on common or generic protective and risk factors, e.g. interventions for increasing self-esteem, emotional resilience, problem-solving and coping skills (Mrazek and Haggerty 1994; Hosman & Llopis, 1999); and prevention of broad categories such as depression (Rutz et al 1992a; 1992b), anxiety symptoms and disorders (Dadds et al 1999), externalising problems and substance abuse (Wolchik et al 2000), or suicidal behavior (Zenere and Lazarus, 1997). When varying clinical presentation have major risk factors in common, subtyping is less relevant from the preventive perspective.
The increase in number of disorders has added to the problems of comorbidity – nearly one-third of cases in the general population have comorbid psychiatric problems (Wittchen 1996). At least some of these would be artefacts, a function of the number of available categories. Data suggest that much comorbidity in the mental health field is due to shared antecedents (genetic and environmental, e.g. childhood adversity) (Kendler et al 1992; Brown et al 1996; Livesley et al 1998; Mineka et al 1998), a fact that goes against the possibility of independence and chance co-occurrence of disorders. Thus, Krueger et al (1998) found support for a 2-factor model for explaining comorbidity – a latent internalizing factor (depression and anxiety) and a latent externalizing factor (conduct disorder, marijuana and alcohol dependence). The lack of independence between diagnoses could explain the absence of diagnostic specificity of treatment response (Regier et al 2002).
The argument for definition of broad categories is not against the existence of narrower categories. When subtypes have major subtype–specific and malleable determinants, fine divisions of categories could be relevant for prevention, treatment and rehabilitation, wherein strategies are targeted to reduction in number of episodes, duration, severity and dysfunction associated with illnesses and secondary morbidity (McGorry 1992). Hence, close attention should be paid to the number, hierarchy and specificity of categories during revision of classifications.
A life-course approach to study of health and illness has come to dominate public health following the recognition of the fact that risks as well as symptomatic expression of disorders vary across developmental spans (Ingram and Price, 2001) and that exposure to disadvantageous experiences and environments accumulate throughout life to increase the risk of illnesses (WHO 2002).
The need for a developmentally informed diagnostic system is most acute for definition of psychopathology in children and adolescents because most of the current diagnostic systems are based solely on models of adult psychopathology. Ryan et al (1987) and Kashani et al (1997) found that children especially pre-schoolers with depressive disorders presented with somatic complaints and aggressive behaviour and most showed psychomotor agitation. The diagnosis may be overlooked because of the presence of these associated symptoms that are suggestive of an externalising disorder. These findings combined with the observation of Kovacs (1986) that younger children may not be capable of experiencing or reporting the symptoms thought to be representative of major depression, emphasize the need to have developmentally relevant criteria for diagnosis.
Other studies have emphasized the need for greater attention to the life course approach to mental disorders. The results of several prospective longitudinal studies of population based samples of children and adolescents show that retrospective adult studies may seriously overestimate the age at onset of many disorders (Costello et al 1999, Lewinsohn et al 2000). In addition, some disorders e.g. ADHD and major psychoses may show early prodromes (Pine et al 2002). An episode of depression or anxiety is a risk factor for further episodes of same general type of disorder, e.g. major depression and suicide (Kovacs and Devlin 1998; Mineka et al 1998), and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders is a predictor of conduct disorder/antisocial personality disorder, substance use disorder and bipolar disorder (Biederman e al 1998; Faraone et al 1998). Some heterotypic associations are also apparent. High levels of anxiety in children predicted increase in depression over time, however high levels of reported depression in children did not predict increase in anxiety (Kolvin and Trowell 2002). Tic disorder shows longitudinal association with obsessive compulsive disorder with tic decreasing and obsessive symptoms increasing over time (Pine et al 2002). Interplay of biological and environmental risk factors could influence courses both singly and across related disorders, e.g. childhood sexual abuse for externalizing disorders (Brown et al 1996) and kindling for schizophrenia, bipolar and other disorders (Frances and Egger, 1999). Failure to take a life course approach makes the occurrence of such comorbidity perplexing.
Current data show that 85% of the variation in DNA sequence is common to ethnic groups. Such observations suggest that the risk of common illnesses including mental illnesses largely derive from alleles shared across all group of humans, supporting the possibility of having universal syndromes. But variations at the genetic level across ethnic groups (15%) and environmental risk factors provide for the possibility of substantial phenotypic variations across cultures and across time spans (Hyman 2002).
ICD 10 and DSM-IV do not adequately consider the possibility that context affects prototypical manifestations of an illness. It would be desirable to develop a system of classification that is flexible for local and cultural adaptations. For example, in some cultures people may not volunteer sadness as a symptom because a conceptually equivalent term may not exist in the language, or because of stigma attached to it, or because it is not recognized as an illness (Patel 2001). In such circumstances it would be better to use local concepts, e.g. 'Kufungisisa' (thinking too much) in Shona language of Zimbabwe or 'Neurasthenia' in China (Kleinman and Kleinman 1985; Patel 2001). Application of a universally defined criteria set in such cultures in an inflexible way, would lead to gross underestimation of prevalence of somatic symptoms related to depression and also of the prevalence of depression in the population studied (Alarcón et al 2002).
Avoidance of the concept of cultural variations in common psychiatric disorders leads to paradoxical situations. ICD-10 emphasizes adverse medical and psychological consequences in dependence and harmful use categories to ease application across different cultures and countries (Rounsaville 2002). However, development of social consequences more often predates physical and psychological problems in the natural history of pathological substance use disorders. As a consequence, rates as well as test-retest reliability of ICD-10 harmful use were lower than that of DSM-IV abuse (Chatterji et al 1997; Rounsaville 2002). On the other hand, acute and transient psychosis, a culturally informed diagnosis has been shown to have some genetic (Das et al 1999), epidemiological and prognostic validity (Susser et al 1996).
A simple system of psychiatric classification that can readily be translated into indigenous categories of illness is highly desirable. Attempts at crosswalks between ICD-10 and indigenous categories can be seen in Chinese Classification for Mental Disorders-3rd Edition (CCMD-3) (Chen 2002), Latin American Guide for Psychiatric Diagnosis (GLDF) (Berganza et al 2002) and Third Cuban Glossary of Psychiatry (GC-3) (Otero-Ojeda 2002).
The relative validity of these categorical and dimensional approaches rests on a number of empirical considerations (Widiger & Samuel, 2005). An especially important issue concerns the nature of the underlying distributions. Taxometric studies suggest that both latent categories and dimensions are widely distributed. Dimensional models receive extensive support in the broad neurotic spectrum, predominating among the mood and anxiety disorders, e.g. chronic worry and posttraumatic stress (Ruscio et al, 2001). Analyses of depression have yielded mixed results but generally have found evidence of continuity rather than discontinuity (Haslam & Beck, 1994; Ruscio & Ruscio, 2002). However, melancholic depression appears to be better understood as a latent category and there are indications of latent categories in the domain of social anxiety and inhibition. Also, categorical models enjoy more support in the domain of personality disorders than might not have been anticipated.
Dimensional systems allow one to model the severity of dysfunction, not simply its presence versus absence (Clark et al, 1995). A large body of evidence also indicates that the artificial dichotomization of continuous measures leads to substantial losses in reliability, stability and validity (Widiger, 1992). Dimensional approach may also help in preparing for the future inclusion of genetic, imaging, and biochemical elements to psychiatric diagnoses.
Multiaxial evaluation provides a vehicle for describing different aspects of a patient’s condition in order to improve our understanding of the condition and thereby to improve its management. Many multiaxial systems have been proposed and there is much variance among them regarding specific axes (Mezzich et al 1987). However, only a limited number of axes can be included in a system that is manageable in regular work internationally. Economizing arrangements could be considered to accommodate information within the multiaxial system, e.g. Mezzich et al (1987) found two broad and pervasive themes in their review of multiaxial systems: phenomenology and etiological/ associated factors. The latter could accommodate sub themes like biological, psychological, cultural, and spiritual aspects. Axes which cannot be accommodated within a given list could be considered as special - for use with particular populations or situations.
Axis I (categorical diagnoses related to health/ illhealth) would comprise of:
Axis II (dimensions related to health/ illhealth) would comprise of consensually agreed upon dimensions. Some dimensions that can be considered are:
The axis could also accomodate endophenotypes, cognitive structures, defence mechanisms, etc. for which consensus can be obtained.
Axis III (risk, protective and contextual factors) would include consensually agreed upon risk/protective, formative, precipitating and perpetuating factors. The axis would be subdivided into the following dimensions:
DSM-IV and ICD-10 were not particularly well suited for use in non-speciality settings. It is noteworthy that in the 'Beyond Blue' Project, an Australian initiative to combat depression, 'depression' and 'anxiety disorders' were the two major categories used in the skill focused training provided to general practitioners and in media advocacy work (Beyond Blue 2001). Neither ICD-10 nor DSM-IV was adopted.
Primary Care: The ICD-10 has two primary care versions - a concise version (containing 25 conditions) for those with medical training and prescription responsibility and a brief version (containing 6 conditions) for other primary care workers with limited medical training (WHO 1996). Similarly, a primary care version exists for the DSM-IV (APA 1996). The problem with ICD-10 PHC versions is that the categories in the two versions do not match each other and the detailed version of the ICD-10; however, they provide a simple way of classifying mental disorders. The DSM-IV primary care version on the other hand maintains its ties with the detailed DSM-IV but it does not simplify the classification per se, focusing instead on simplifying the process of reaching the DSM-IV classification by following a workbook style, wherein symptoms branch out into diagnostic algorithms (Pingitore and Sansone 1998).
The best solution would be to have three versions of increasing complexity, in which the categories of the more complex version are nested in the broader categories of the less complex system.
General Medical Health System: Trimble (2002) has suggested that ICD/DSM should have links to other classificatory systems, e.g. the international classification of epileptic seizures, movement disorders, lobar atrophies, dementia and sleep disorders (ASDA 1990; Mckeith et al 1996; McKhann et al 1984; Neary et al 1998). This could be achieved in many different ways. One could be to reproduce those classificatory systems/diagnostic criteria within the published ICD/DSM volumes. Another could be providing crosswalks between categories in one system with those in the other system. There is also the case for the provision of similar crosswalk to the classification used by nurses, e.g. Contemprory Nursing Diagnosis Manual of North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA 1994). Guidance is also needed for linking individual diagnosis to the International Classification of Functioning (ICF) as suggested by Kopelman and Fleminger (2002) and Jenkins et al (2002).

Recommendations
1. Changing the name of the F00-F09 category from – ‘organic, including symptomatic, mental disorders’ to ‘neuropsychiatric disorders including symptomatic, mental disorders’.
2. To place tic disorder under F00-F09 from its current place under F95 (F90 - F98: behavioural and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence).
3. To exclude organic dissociative disorder
The essence of classification system is to arrange something in an ordered fashion instead of placing it haphazardly. From ancient to recent times, various efforts have been made to classify mental disorders, with gradual refinement of the concept of mental disorders and their classifications. ICD-10 (International Classification of Disease - 10th edition) and DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - 4th edition) are the two widely accepted classificatory systems for mental disorders, though certain others country specific classificatory systems do exist.
Mental disorders classificatory system is not only used by psychiatrist, it is also used by other physicians, psychologists, social workers, nurses, occupational and rehabilitation therapists, counselors and other health and mental health professionals. Efforts should be made to make the ICD-11 more clinically useful and acceptable to those who apply it, should have few differences with DSM-V and at the same time, it should keep the layout of existing coding system intact.
Great strides have been made over the past few decades in the field of clinical neuroscience, including functional and structural brain imaging, electrophysiology and electro-diagnosis, cellular and molecular biology, genetics and neuropsychopharmacology. Despite these developments in the field of neuroscience, the understanding of the pathophysiology of mental disorders is still in a nascent state. Therefore, the seminal article by Robins and Guze (1970) is still relevant to the process of revision of classification of mental disorders.
This rubric in ICD-10 covers a range of mental disorders with a common theme of demonstrable etiology in cerebral disease, brain injury, or other insult leading to cerebral dysfunction which may be primary (where the causative factors affect the brain directly) or secondary (where systemic diseases involve brain like other multiple organs). The term ‘organic’ used here means that disorders or syndrome in this category can be attributed to an independently diagnosable cerebral or systemic disease or disorder and the term ‘symptomatic’ is used where the cerebral involvement is secondary to systemic illness (ICD-10, Clinical Descriptions and Diagnostic Guidelines).
The use of the term ‘organcity’ in psychiatric classification is attended with controversy. DSM-II (1968), categorized organic mental disorders as organic brain syndrome (OBS), caused by diffuse brain dysfunction that lead to deficits in orientation and intellectual functioning (e.g. memory, judgement, comprehension) and to changes in affective modulation (lability or shallowness). Subsequently, OBS was replaced by the term organic mental disorders (OMD) in DSM-III (1980), which further made a fundamental distinction between OBS and OMD with reference to absence or presence of etiological factors. In DSM-III-R (1987), all these disorder were placed under the section of ‘Organic Mental Syndromes and Disorders’ which was eventually deleted in the DSM-IV (1994).
In ICD-8 (1969) all organic psychotic conditions were placed along with functional psychoses under the rubric of ‘psychosis’ (290-299). Code 290 to 294 in ICD-8 (290: senile and pre-senile dementia, 291: alcoholic psychosis, 292: psychosis associated with intracranial infection, 293: psychosis associated with other cerebral condition, 294: psychosis associated with other physical condition) underwent mild modifications and were included in ICD-9 under a new term: ‘organic psychotic conditions (290-294). The latest revision ICD-10 (1992) retained the term ‘organic’ for this group of disorders.
Discussion
The term organic is very difficult to define and moreover, it incorrectly implies non-biological basis for non-organic (functional) psychiatric illnesses. In addition, merely placing ‘organic’ in front of a variety of symptom or syndromes (hallucinosis, catatonic disorder, delusional disorder, mood disorder, anxiety disorder, dissociative disorder, emotionally labile disorder), does not advance classification keeping in view the future development in neurosciences (Kopelman et al 2002). The term ‘neuropsychiatric disorder’ is probably the appropriate substitute for organic mental disorder, owing to its broad spectrum coverage. For example, head-injury, within neuropsychiatric disorders, would include (besides dementia due to head trauma and post-concussional syndrome) confusional states, memory disorders, executive and personality changes, head-injury related mood changes, etc. Epilepsy is another disorder where a number of specific neuropsychiatric syndromes could be incorporated.
Code F06 in ICD-10, uses the term ‘other mental disorders due to brain damage and dysfunction and to physical disease,’ while DSM-IV uses the term ‘mental disorders due to general medical condition.’ In the ICD-10 code, the word ‘organic’ has been placed before psychiatric disorders which often manifest in certain medical conditions. More clarity and specificity is required in describing these conditions or subtypes to avoid confusion among other health professionals who often witness such conditions, which is probably not possible by mere presence of the term ‘organic’ before such entity. Example of more appropriate description would be – catatonic disorder in Vit-B12 deficiency, delusional (schizophrenia – like) disorder in epilepsy etc. (Kopelman et al 2002). However, this type of description is reminiscent of ‘combination categories’ of ICD-8. Therefore, more accurate and appropriate description of these conditions requires utilization of separate independent axes.
Tic disorders comprise a group of disorders, such as, transient tic disorder, chronic motor or vocal tic disorder, combined vocal and multiple motor tic disorder (de la Tourette’s syndrome), other tic disorder and tic disorder unspecified. Currently, ‘tic disorder’ has been placed in the category of ‘behavioural and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence’ (F90-F98; F95) of ICD-10. Tic disorder has also found a place under G-25 [diseases of nervous system, other extrapyramidal and movement disorders] of ICD-10, as an inclusion term. Though the onset predominantly occurs during childhood and adolescence, onset has been reported in adult age group also (Burd et al, 1986a, b).
Discussion
Tic disorders have a substantial genetic basis; with first degree relatives having up to ten fold increased risk (Tourette Syndrome Association International Consortium for Genetics 1999). It also has high concordance rate in monozygotic twin (53%) in comparison to dizygotic twins (8%) (Leckman et al 1995b). Compelling indirect evidence from pharmacological studies indicates involvement of basal ganglia (Leckman et al 1995b). Electrical stimulation of the amygdala produces motor and vocal responses resembling tics (Jadresic 1992). Though the definite pathophysiology of tic disorders is not known but internationally a research consensus has been reached which suggest that the basal ganglia and the related thalamo-cortical circuitry is involved.
We proposes that tic disorder should be placed under ‘Neuropsychiatric disorder’ currently ‘F00-F09’, instead of its placement under ‘F90-F98’ as in ICD-10. Further information about the onset of illness could well be coded using a fifth character code.
The term ‘dissociative’ has replaced the older term ‘hysteria’ in current ICD-10. The basic theme in dissociative disorder is disruption (partial or complete) in the usually integrated function of consciousness, memory, identity, perception and motor control, in the absence of any physical disorder that might explain the symptoms. The evidence for psychological causation has been presumed in the form of clear or unclear (if patient denies) stressful events or problems or disturbed relationship with onset. ICD-10 has given preference of plausible mechanism for causation by using the term ‘dissociation’ instead of older term ‘psychogenic’ for this condition to avoid etiological assumptions.
‘Organic dissociative disorder’ has been placed in category of F06 (other mental disorders due to brain damage and dysfunction and to physical disease) of current ICD-10 whereas in DSM–IV, no such entity exists.
Discussion
The term ‘organic dissociative disorder’ is paradoxical. The mere presence of organic lesion somewhere in the brain of an individual, which is unrelated with dissociative symptoms can’t make him/her a patient with organic dissociative disorder. If the lesion is related with the symptoms then the diagnosis cannot remain dissociative, and in that situation diagnoses like organic amnestic syndrome would be a more appropriate as per the current ICD-10 classificatory system. Moreover, there is dearth of literature on this issue, raising questions about its diagnostic validity.
We propose that such a paradoxical term should be excluded from ICD-11.
As per the coding conventions of ICD-10, each of the categories has a code composed of four characters. The first character is a letter which designates the chapter – a group of diseases of particular specificity. The second character – a digit describes a subgroup of disorders, e.g. organic, including symptomatic, mental disorder. The third character, also a digit, describes the disease or disorder and the fourth character – a digit, details the condition more elaborately e.g. describing its course and other characteristics. A further fifth, sixth and seventh character could be used as a specifier to have more accurate descriptions.
The ICD-10 chapter F categorizes dementia utilizing four different codes (F00 -dementia in Alzheimer’s disease, F01 - vascular dementia, F02 – dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere, F03 - unspecified dementia), whereas DSM-IV places different types of etiologically based dementias under a single section (dementia), because dementias share common symptoms and presentation.
Discussion
Placement of dementia in ICD-10, utilizing four different codes invites criticism regarding the diagnostic validity and reliability of each code for dementia. Dementia, characterized by the development of multiple cognitive deficits (including memory impairment) that are due to the multiple etiologies (e.g. Alzheimer’s disease, cerebrovascular disease or combination of both), or due to direct physiological effects of general medical conditions or to the persisting effects of substance, is a clinical diagnosis (Boise et al 1999). Having four different codes for dementia in ICD-10 is anomalous with respect to the basic coding convention of ICD-10, as all of these apparently separate disorders have common symptomatology. Placing dementia as a single code (as is the case with DSM-IV) would likely improve its diagnostic stability and probably would improve its applicability and usefulness in clinical practice and research.
Therefore, we propose that dementia should have a single code with further sub typing, based on probable etiological factor (fourth character). Further specification could be achieved with fifth and sixth characters. An example is given below:
F - Mental health chapter
0 - Neuropsychiatric disorder
0 - Dementia
0 - Alzheimer’s disease
0 - Early onset
However, some members of the Department suggested caution with this recommendation based on the argument that classification was not only meant to code disorders but also to assist in research related to aetiology, outcome and prognosis; and also that such a change would require shifting of conditions from their current places, e.g. alcohol and other substance induced dementia.
In clinical practice of psychiatry, we often notice psychotropic induced psychiatric conditions which would require urgent attention and proper management, e.g. lithium toxicity, valproate toxicity, neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), acute dystonia, tardive dyskinesia, serotonin syndrome etc.
Currently these conditions are placed in ICD-10 either in the chapter of nervous system disease [G21 (secondary Parkinsonism), G24 (dystonia), G25 (other extrapyramidal and movement disorder)] or in the chapter of Y40-Y59 (Drugs, medicaments and biological substances causing adverse effects in therapeutic use).
DSM-IV placed these conditions under the rubric of ‘other conditions that may be a focus of clinical attention’.
Discussion
In the coming years, more developments are expected in the field of neuropsycho-pharmacology with newer pharmacological molecules to treat psychiatric disorder. In clinical psychiatric practice, medication induced problems are very common and some of the conditions have poor prognosis which often require clinical attention. Proper management of these conditions would require an understanding and adequate knowledge about these conditions. These conditions fulfil features of ‘organicity’ with temporal association, clear and consistent clinical descriptions, possible explainable pathophysiology and good diagnostic reliability and validity; hence, they deserve a place in F00-F09.
The house, however, felt that their placement within codes for physical disorders was adequate if they did not cause specific mental syndromes.
The characteristic feature of this disorder is a decline in cognitive performance (memory, learning, or concentration) to an extent that is insufficient to make a diagnosis of dementia, delirium or organic amnestic disorder. However, the objective tests indicate deficits and the individual experiences distress or difficulty in carrying out usual activities. The disorder has been placed under the code F06 (other mental disorder due to brain damage and dysfunction and to physical disease). DSM-IV does not have such a diagnostic entity. However, DSM-IV includes mild neurocognitive disorder in the category of cognitive disorder not otherwise specified.
Discussion
The ICD-10 (Clinical Descriptions and Diagnostic Guidelines) mentions that the boundaries of this category (mild cognitive disorder) are still to be firmly confirmed. Mild cognitive disorder as a diagnostic entity fails to differentiate between age related cognitive change, old age specific cognitive problems, and the presence of psychopathology (depression, anxiety) with genuine mild cognitive deficiency. Various outcome studies have failed to demonstrate its diagnostic stability or utility as a predictor of dementia (Christensen et al. 1995, Christensen et al. 1997, Schroder et al. 1998, Ritchie et al. 2001, Larrieu et al. 2002, Kumar et al. 2005). Therefore, it was proposed that this entity should not be included as a separate category in ICD-11. If included, it should be kept in the unspecified category of mental disorders.
However, the house wished to retain this category because it was felt that it is a common condition and more studies are required before it is excluded.

ICD-11: DRAFT PROPOSAL FOR CHANGES IN THE ‘MENTAL AND EHAVIOURAL DISORDERS DUE TO PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCE USE’ SECTION
Tripathi BM, MD, MRCPsy; Jhanjee S, MD, DNB; Kattimani S, MD
Suggestion: removal from diagnostic system
Currently, this diagnosis is applicable to alcohol use only and the clinical utility and diagnostic validity of this category has not been established. Hence, this category needs to be removed from the classificatory system.
Caffeine is a commonly used psychoactive substance and its use is socially sanctioned across cultures. Current categorization of caffeine with stimulants suggests that caffeine is a drug of potentially abuse. This has treatment and policy implications, hence, caffeine should be removed from this category. However, since coding inappropriate use of caffeine has some clinical utility, it may be coded in the Z category.
Suggestion: Replacement of the term ‘harmful use’ by the term ‘misuse’ and proposal for new diagnostic criteria.
Proposed diagnostic criteria for ‘misuse of psychoactive substance’ are as under:
This diagnosis requires that at least one of the criteria mentioned below is met, but the criteria for dependence syndrome are not fulfilled.
Suggestion: The current subcategories, F1x.21, F1x.22, and F1x.23 should be subsumed under a single subcategory named ‘F1x.21 supported abstinence’.
In order to simplify and make room for growing evidence in favour of non-pharmacological interventions in maintaining abstinence, the currently existing subcategories like F1x.21-currently abstinent but in a protected environment, F1x.22-currently abstinent on a clinically supervised maintenance or replacement regime and F1x.23- currently abstinent but receiving treatment with aversive or blocking drugs, should be subsumed under a single subcategory of ‘supported abstinence’.
In view of their clinical utility these two subcategories should be incorporated in the classificatory system.
Suggestion: Injecting drug use should be included in the classification either as a specifier or in the Z Category.
In view of clinical and public health implications of using drugs via parenteral route, this needs to be documented either as a specifier in this chapter or needs to be placed under the Z category.
Supporting evidence for proposed changes
I. F1x.07-Pathological intoxication
There is no Indian or International literature supporting the clinical utility and validity of this diagnostic category. The inter-rater reliability of this condition is poor and other factors may be responsible for such a presentation, e.g. personality traits, metabolic changes and the social context under which alcohol is consumed. An example of the pragmatic difficulties associated with its use is the forensic situation, where it may be difficult to defend the diagnosis due to lack of scientific evidence, and lack of expert consensus (Winckler 1999). Hence, it would be better to remove from this category from the classificatory system.
II. F15-Mental and behavioral disorders due to use of other stimulants, including caffeine
Caffeine has been placed in F15 along with other stimulants. The ‘other stimulants’ are psychoactive substances with known abuse liability and potential to produce dependence. Current categorization suggests that caffeine is a potentially abusive drug. This implies that a large population consuming caffeine has a psychiatric problem (with potential for stigmatization) and is in need of treatment intervention. Placing it along with other stimulants in this category does not do justice to such a widely used substance. Hence, caffeine should be removed from this category. Since, the presence of this category may still retain some clinical utility as a condition meriting health attention in specific situations, inappropriate use of caffeine may be coded in the Z category.
III. F1x.1 Harmful use: Change in title and criteria for diagnosis
Current diagnostic criteria for ‘harmful use of psychoactive substance’ require that actual damage should have been caused to the mental or physical health of the user. The diagnosis is arrived at by assessment of retrospective damage done to the subject and it does not consider the potential harm by use of the psychoactive substance in the future. This makes the diagnosis ‘harmful use’ very restrictive, as it cannot be applied to many individuals who may benefit from clinical intervention. Further, many studies have documented poor inter-rater reliability for this diagnostic category (Pull et al, 1997) and the concordance between ‘abuse’ in DSM-IV and ‘harmful use’ in ICD-10 is low (Hasin 2003). To obviate these shortcomings a change in current diagnostic criteria are proposed, as above.
The term ‘harmful use’ may be replaced by the term ‘misuse of psychoactive substance.’ Other terms like ‘abuse’ of psychoactive substance was not considered because of the derogatory connotation attached with the word while the term ‘hazardous use of psychoactive substance’ may highlight the dangerousness involved in the substance use, which may not be universal for all psychoactive substances. The term ‘dysfunctional use’ was considered but the house felt that ‘misuse’ had greater acceptability in current scientific discourse.
IV. Consolidation of subcategories F1x.21, F1x.22, F1x.23 under a single subcategory named ‘F1x.21 supported abstinence’
The current subcategories, F1x.21, F1x.22, and F1x.23 are:
These subcategories can be brought together under a single subcategory F1x.21- ‘supported abstinence’, to make the coding system more uniform and simple, in light of the fact that abstinence states may be supported by methods other than those mentioned in the existing subcategories such as by involvement in self-help groups like Alcoholic Anonymous(AA), cognitive behavior therapy and other non-pharmacological interventions.
V. Creation of new subcategories F1x.8x Sleep disorders due to psychoactive substance use’ and F1x.8x Sexual dysfunction due to psychoactive substance use
Patients using psychoactive substance commonly report sleep disorders and sexual dysfunction. These conditions act as risk factors for relapse if they are not addressed properly. Kumar and Muthulagan (2004) have documented the presence of sleep disorders in patients abstaining from alcohol and many studies have reported that sexual dysfunctions are common in various disorders related to psychoactive substance use (Kumar et al, 1997; Gupta and Jiloha 1998; Singh 1998).
VI. Inclusion of specifier or new subcategory: injectible drug use (IDU)
In addition to the obvious health risks associated with injection drug use, experts opine that this form of drug use gives rise to a severe form of dependence. Results from the National Household Survey, India (NHS, India), show that 0.1% of the sample reported ‘ever’ -injecting drug use (Ray 2004). Common reasons for shifting to injecting route cited by the sample were - better high, and peer pressure due to association with other IDU users. About 97% reported having shared syringes and 74.2% reported having shared needles (Ray, 2004). Needle sharing and unsafe sexual practices as part of drug use subculture can lead to HIV infection and AIDS in this population of drug users. The rate of HIV seroconversion seems to be significantly more rapid in India than that observed in Western countries (Agarwal et al, 1998; Birla Singh and Sharma 1998). Due to the obvious public health and clinical implications of injection drug use, it merits an inclusion as a specifier in the psychoactive substance use section or a placement in the Z category.
VII. Creation of a new category: Mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance use of mixed properties
Current classificatory systems categorize psychoactive substances based on their psychoactive properties, viz. hallucinogens, sedatives or stimulants while at the same time some psychoactive substances have been placed under the their respective generic drug classes like opioids, cannabinoids, nicotine, cocaine, etc. There should be uniformity in categorizing psychoactive substances either based on the class of substances they belong to or based on their main psychoactive property. There are psychoactive substances having both stimulant and hallucinogenic properties like MDMA. There may be difficulty in categorizing such substances, and to overcome this, a suggestion to introduce a separate category named ‘mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance use of mixed properties’ was made. This did not find consensus in the group discussion and hence was dropped from the final proposal.
VIII. To include psychoactive substances like antidepressants and antihistamines with known abuse and dependence producing capability under the category of substance use disorders
There was a suggestion to include other psychoactive substances with proven dependence and withdrawal producing capability like
antidepressants, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (Ananath et al, 1995) and antihistamines (Pal et al, 2005), under the ‘mental and behavioural disorders due to psychoactive substance use’ category, moving them from the existing category of F55.0 (abuse of non-dependence producing substances) in ICD-10. The house felt that in the absence of strong evidence, it would be inappropriate to consider these drugs as psychoactive substances with abuse liability. Hence the suggestion was dropped from the final draft.
IX. To change the title from ‘Psychoactive substance induced psychotic disorders’ to ‘Behavioral and psychological manifestations due to psychoactive substance use’ for better representation of wide array of specific behavioral and psychiatric manifestations due to psychoactive substance use
Subcategories under ‘Psychoactive substance induced psychotic disorders’ may be changed to include a broad array of behavioral and psychological symptoms and syndromes like depressive disorder, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder, agoraphobia etc. Hence it was proposed to change psychotic disorders to ‘Psychiatric and behavioral changes due to psychoactive substance use’ or ‘Behavioral and psychological manifestations due to psychoactive substance use’. Since any change in the title was likely to replicate the main title ‘Mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance use’ of this chapter, this suggestion was withheld.
X. Creation of separate category of ‘cannabis induced psychosis’
Cannabis induced psychosis has been extensively described in Indian literature. It was argued that cannabis induced psychosis be considered as a separate independent category under F12.5. It differs from other psychiatric disorders in terms of psychopathology that consists of both psychotic (paranoid delusions) and affective symptoms, and is characterized by rapid changes in symptomatology. Such a presentation cannot be easily categorized into either affective or psychotic disorder (Sarkar et al, 2003; Mallik et al, 2004) and has course and treatment implications. A specific rubric will also draw increased research attention to this condition. The house felt that sufficient literature had not yet accrued to support a separate category of cannabis induced psychosis, so this suggestion was dropped from the final draft.
XI. Sub typing alcohol use disorders
A descriptive study showed that patients with primary alcoholism differ from patients with secondary alcoholism on severity of dependence, presence of interpersonal problems, in their compliance to treatment and in maintaining abstinence in the follow-up period (Ramesh et al, 1996).Some authors have tried to study drinking pattern using multivariate techniques. Based on factor analysis of their data, one group of authors proposed that alcohol use was of 3 types - alcohol abuse, alcohol dependence and social drinking (Mathrubootham et al, 1997). Alcohol dependence could be further classified into low and moderate dependence.Such studies support the exclusion of social drinking from diagnostic categorization, and can help in reduction of false positives for alcohol abuse or dependence. However some authors have used the term ‘problems drinkers’ to identify those who do not fulfilling criteria for alcohol dependence but still require some form of intervention for their alcohol use (Satesh and Sengupta 1997). The house agreed with the onclusions reached by Gupta and Basu (1999) that alcohol subtyping would merit further study before inclusion in the classificatory system.
XII. Sub typing of opioid dependence into early onset and late onset opioid dependence
Some authors have suggested the differentiation between opioid dependence of early onset defined as age less than 20 years at the initiation of opioids and late onset defined as age more than 20 years at the initiation of opioids. There appears to be significant difference between the two groups regarding substance use pattern and presence of psychopathology, which might need to be considered in treatment planning (De et al, 1998).However, the house felt that the evidence for the use of this specifier was not compelling as yet.
XIII. Inclusion of protracted withdrawal as specifier
There was suggestion to consider ‘protracted withdrawal state’ as a specifier besides the existing F1x.3 withdrawal state, which is an acute physiological state due to sudden cessation or decrease in the quantity of psychoactive substance on which an individual is dependent. It has been well established that protracted withdrawal is one of the risk factor for relapse in cases of psychoactive substance use disorders (Satel et al, 1993).However, the house felt that there was not enough evidence to support the separation of acute and protracted withdrawal states.
Concluding comments:
ICD revision process should also consider the identification of risk factors for relapse and factors that alter prognosis and intervention strategies. The multiaxial system similar to that suggested by WPA workgroup in 1994 may be used with some alteration (Kastrup 2002). It needs to be established whether diagnostic criteria needs to be changed in order to make its applicable in special populations like women (Selvaraj et al, 1997; Prasad et al, 2000; Irpati et al, 2005), elderly (Grover et al, 2005), and adolescents (Tripathi and Lal 1999). While revising existing classification, available research evidence should be considered carefully, and proposed changes should be evaluated for their utility in treatment decisions and in prognostication, for forensic purposes, for potential benefits to special groups like children. Also, issues related to third parties like reimbursement providers, public opinion and implication for government policies should be carefully considered during the revision process.

Supportive Evidence for Proposed Changes
Introduction
Schizophrenia, schizotypal and delusional disorders (F20-F29) section in ICD10 include non-affective psychiatric disorders conceptualized to be broadly related to each other. The classification of these disorders in ICD-10 has achieved fairly good reliability, ensuring the international comparability of research, clinical work and education. While, these categories have not achieved expected nosological validity based on criteria given by Robin and Guze (1970), the past decade has witnessed research into specific areas that has elucidated and questioned many already existing issues and has thrown up several new issues for consideration.
F20: Schizophrenia
I. Higher weight should be given to negative symptoms of schizophrenia
There is an emphasis on positive symptoms for diagnosing schizophrenia in ICD10. Presence of only one SFRS is enough to make the diagnosis whereas two of the negative, catatonic, formal thought disorder or persistent hallucinations with accompanying delusions/overvalued ideas are required to make the diagnosis of schizophrenia. Inclusion of Schneider’s first rank symptoms (SFRS)/positive symptoms in the diagnostic guidelines has increased reliability of diagnosis of schizophrenia in ICD10. However, it is now well established that SFRS are present in other psychiatric conditions as well (Taylor et al, 1973; Brockington et al, 1980). Also, current research recognizes that negative symptoms are defining features of schizophrenia.
Negative symptoms have been reported frequently in patients with schizophrenia.
Patients of schizophrenia with affected relatives are reportedto have a high magnitude of negative symptoms that are relativelytreatment resistant. Twin studies and other data show that relativesof probands with greater negative symptoms have higher morbid risks for illness than the relatives of probands who have greaterpositive symptoms. Negative symptoms are also presentin some nonschizophrenic relatives of patients with schizophrenia,as in those with schizotypal personality disorders (Malaspina et al, 2000).
Typical antipsychotics cause relatively more improvement in positive symptoms as compared to negative symptoms. Moreover, typical antipsychotics cause extra pyramidal side effects which may mimic some of the negative symptoms. Atypical antipsychotics have been proven in placebo-controlled trials to be effective in treating negative symptoms of acute schizophrenic episodes (Moller et al, 2003). Negative symptoms are widely suspected to reflect frontal lobe dysfunction and are associated with poor outcome (Potkin et al, 2002).
Discussion: The literature suggests that negative symptoms are increasingly recognized as defining features of schizophrenia but it is not clear how they can be used in differentiating schizophrenia from other conditions. Some studies report that negative feature like apathy may be useful in this regard. Studies are needed to identify pattern and type of primary negative symptoms in schizophrenia. Increasing the weight age of negative symptoms in making diagnosis of schizophrenia can be achieved by adding another criteria that records negative symptoms not currently included under (h) like avolition, loss of drive, aimless behaviour, empty speech.
II. Addition of early onset (onset before 18 years of age) as age of onset specifier
Awareness about early onset schizophrenia is increasing. Premorbid developmental impairments, including language, motor and social deficits; insidious onset in at least 75% of children; elementary auditory hallucinations; less complex delusions related to childhood themes; and negative symptoms namely flat or inappropriate affect; are more frequent and pronounced in earlier, than in later-onset schizophrenia.. A marked deterioration from the previous level of functioning is also present in these children, and an impaired outcome is reported in approximately 50-60% of cases.
The frequency of childhood schizophrenia is less than 1 in 10,000 children, but there is a remarkable increase in frequency between 13 and 18 years of age (Remschmidt et al, 2005).
There is strong evidence for the importance of genetic factors in schizophrenia in children and adolescents (Remschmidt et al, 2005).
Early onset schizophrenia has greater neuropsychological deficits than adult onset schizophrenia (Biswas et al, 2006; White et al, 2006). Early onset schizophrenia is also more severe and is frequently treatment-resistant (Shaw et al, 2006). The long-term course of childhood- and adolescent-onset schizophrenia is worse than in adult-onset schizophrenia, and the patients with manifestation of the disorder below the age of 14 have a very poor prognosis (Remschmidt et al, 2005).
Discussion: Early onset schizophrenia (onset before 18 years) has good internal and external validity. Thus, the group proposed its (age of onset) inclusion as a specifier ‘b’.
III. Pattern of course needs to be simplified
The review of literature did not support the complex pattern included under the current course specifier in ICD-10. It is tedious for use in clinical practice as well as research, hence it is rarely used. Provision of a simpler pattern of course specifier would increase its clinical utility without compromising on its validity. The group proposed the following pattern for course specifier:
IV. Removal of catatonic schizophrenia F20.2 as a subgroup of schizophrenia and placing it as clinical course specifier of schizophrenia
Kraepelin recognized catatonia as a form of dementia praecox and Bleuler included it within his wide group of schizophrenias. Catatonia as a subtype of schizophrenia has been included in all classificatory systems. Recent research shows that catatonia is a syndrome which is characterized by association with neurological and general medical conditions, mood disorders; use of effective therapeutics and development of reliable instruments.
Catatonic presentations are common in acute in-patient psychiatric settings (Banerjee et al, 1995; Chalasani et al, 2005). The prevalence of catatonia among psychiatricpatients is reported to range from 7.6% to 38 % (Taylor et al, 2003).
Catatonic presentation is more common in mood disorder than in schizophrenia. It is also found in many other conditions (Taylor et al, 2003).
Catatonia responds to specific treatments like lorazepam and ECT irrespective of the disorder (Taylor et al 2003).
Discussion: Customary clinical practice continues to overvalue the idea that presence of catatonia is diagnostic of schizophrenia. The reliability of catatonic features is good; however the internal and external validity of catatonic schizophrenia is questionable. This type of presentation appears in the course of schizophrenia at various stages with limited stability. Further, it is recommended that at the time of presentation, if catatonic features are present, these are treated symptomatically with lorazepam or ECT; final management, course and prognosis are decided by the underlying condition that is uncovered after patient recovers from catatonia. So, catatonia can be conceptualized mainly as a clinical specifier. Thus, the group proposes its placement as a clinical course specifier ‘c’.
V. Removal of post-schizophrenic depression as a subtype; depressive symptoms to be included as a phase specifier.
Depression occurs frequently in schizophrenia. Occurrence of depression in schizophrenia has often been associated with worse outcome , impaired functioning, personal suffering , higher rates of relapse or rehospitalization and suicide. In ICD 10, depressive features are included under schizophrenia as ‘mild degree of depression’ preceding psychotic symptoms and as ‘post psychotic depression subtype’. In the former situation, it is a symptom and in the latter situation, a syndrome. A depressive episode present concurrently with schizophrenia is diagnosed as a schizoaffective disorder. The confusion attending the term depression in schizophrenia is attributable to three questions viz., whether it is the symptom or syndrome of depression that is being considered; the phase of schizophrenia in which it is occurring; and its causation (whether it is integral part of schizophrenic process, a de-novo phenomenon or a reaction to stress).
Depressive symptoms in schizophrenia are often severe but are poorly recognized by psychiatrists (Bressan et al, 2003). The prevalence varies from 7%-75% according to the approach used for their identification (Micallef et al, 2006). Depressive symptoms of substantial severity are often found in 50% of newly diagnosed cases of schizophrenia and 33% of cases of chronic schizophrenia that have relapsed (Whitehead et al, 2002).
A Cochrane systematic data review found no convincing evidence to support or refute the use of antidepressants in treating depression in people with schizophrenia (Whitehead et al, 2002). However, a study done by Birchwood et al (2000) found that depression accompanying acute psychotic phase remits with psychosis.
Discussion: Post-schizophrenic depression as a subtype of schizophrenia has questionable reliability and validity. Depression in schizophrenia is common and it occurs during prodrome, active psychotic phase, within first year and thereafter. The efficacy of antidepressants is equivocal. The boundary problem exists with schizoaffective disorder (depressive type) and depressive episode (F32.-). Thus, the group proposes removal of post-schizophrenic depression as a subtype; depressive symptoms should be included as a course specifier‘d’. Depressive symptoms fulfilling diagnostic criteria for depressive episode (F32.-) occurring could be diagnosed independently as a co morbid condition.
VI. Dimensions of schizophrenia to be introduced
Over the last decade many studies have highlighted the dimensions of schizophrenia. In eighties, the negative–positive distinction was extensively studied. Van der Does et al (1995) investigated the stability of an earlier reported four-dimensional symptom model (positive symptoms, negative symptoms, disorganization, and depression) and found a stable four-dimensional structure that closely resembled the factor structure of their first assessment. The symptom dimensions were uncorrelated, except for disorganization and depression. The results of a cluster analysis suggest the existence of at least four subtypes of schizophrenia: positive, negative, mixed, and disorganized. A fifth subtype included patients with few symptoms and suggested the occurrence of simple schizophrenia (Dollfus et al, 1996; Lykouras et al, 2001). Klingberg et al (2006) reported the occurrence of five factors viz., negative, impulsive, positive, disorganization, and depression.
Discussion: While the search of literature suggests the occurrence of many dimensions underlying schizophrenia, the evidence for reliability and validity of different dimensions is variable. Issues pertaining to dimensional classification will be covered under the general section.
VII. Introduction of schizo-obsessive subtype of schizophrenia under ‘Conditions meriting further study’
Co-occurrence of obsessive compulsive (OC) symptoms and psychotic illness was first recognized over a century ago. Interest in this area has been revived recently because of increased recognition of higher-than-expected co morbidity rates. There is growing evidence that patients with schizophrenia and obsessive compulsive disorder, termed schizo-obsessive may represent a special category of schizophrenia population.
Recent studies have revealed much higher co-morbidity rates for OCD in the schizophrenia than previously recognized. Investigators have reported prevalence rates of clinically significant OC symptoms in schizophrenia population to be 10%-52% and of OCD in schizophrenia population to be 7.8%-26% (Berman et al, 1995; Kruger et al, 2000; Tibbo et al, 2000; Craig et al, 2002; Thomas et al 2005). Comparisons of current co-morbidity figures with individual lifetime prevalence rates for each disorder (2%-3% for OCD and 1% for schizophrenia) suggests that there exists greater than chance rate of co-occurrence between the two conditions (Bottas et al, 2005).
Schizophrenia with OC symptoms possess a distinct clinical and neuropsychological profile that differs from that of schizophrenia without OC symptoms. This profile includes a worse clinical course with poor treatment response, lower functioning levels, and greater impairment of functions primarily subserved by the frontal lobes. In addition, the former patients showed a higher level of negative symptoms and worse overall psychopathology (Hwang, 2000).
There is significant overlap in the proposed circuits of OCD and schizophrenia, which may lead to co-expression of symptoms. Although there is overlap in neurotransmitter dysfunction, the interactions are complex, especially in regard to the serotonin and dopamine systems (Tibbo et al 1999, Gross-Isseroff et al 2003).
Discussion: at present the epidemiological and biological evidence suggests that schizo-obsessive disorder as a subtype of schizophrenia deserves attention as it may be sufficiently distinct in terms of aetiology, treatment and outcome. The group proposes that schizo-obsessive subtype of schizophrenia should be introduced as a conditions meriting further study.
F22: Persistent delusional disorder
VIII. Deletion of the term ‘persistent’
ICD-10 mentions the word ‘persistent’ to mean that these disorders are ‘usually persistent and sometimes lifelong’. The global outcome of delusional disorders is shown to be better than that for schizophrenia. Kendler and Walsh (1995) reported the duration of illness for delusional disorders (38±26 months) to be shorter than that for schizophrenia (159±134 months). It is argued that to bring this category closer to that of DSM-IV the term ‘persistent’ should be dropped.
IX. Shifting of F24 (induced delusional disorder) under F22
The underlying assumption behind placing F24 as a separate diagnostic category in ICD-10 appears to be presence of a definite cause and spontaneous resolution of symptoms after removal of the cause. Literature review suggests that this category has not been adequately validated. The occurrence of its four subtypes viz., folie imposee, folie simultanee, folie communiqué and folie induite is largely based on the resistance offered and time of appearance of psychotic symptoms in the secondary cases. Except for folie imposee, these disorders in secondary cases do not have a clear onset and offset with the primary case (Wehmeier et al, 2003). Management of these patients requires multiple treatments including removal of etiologic agent, antipsychotics, individual and group psychotherapy, and family therapy (Kumar et al, 2005). As these conditions are phenomenologically similar to cases with delusional disorders, the group proposes that this category can be shifted under F22 as F22.1 for better understanding of etiology and long term course and outcome.
F23: Acute and transient psychotic disorders
X. Introduction of course specifier for acute and transient psychotic disorders
Acute and transient psychotic disorders get re-diagnosed as other non-organic psychotic disorder if they recur. Studies have suggested that these cases recur and recurrent acute remitting psychotic states are 10 times more common in developing than in industrialized countries; are two times more common in females than males; exhibit long term benign course and have lesser negative symptoms (Susser et al,1995; Sajith et al, 2002). Better delineation of non-affective acute remitting psychosis in current diagnostic systems could lead to better understanding of this condition and improve the applicability of diagnostic systems in developing countries, where these conditions are more common than in industrialized countries. To better understand the course and outcome of acute and transient psychotic disorders, the group proposed the introduction of a course specifier for this group of disorders. A fifth character may be used to classify the course e.g. F23.x.a
x – subtype
a – course which may be 0 - single episode, and 1 - recurrent, current episode
F25: Schizoaffective disorders
XI. Introduction of concurrent and sequential subtypes as course specifier
In ICD-10, the schizoaffective disorder is defined as the concurrent occurrence of schizophrenic symptoms with a major affective disorder. Longitudinal aspects of course are npt reflected well in the current classification. There is little evidence to support a chronological distinction regarding the co-existence of schizophrenic and affective symptomatology. Thus two types of schizoaffective disorder must be distinguished: the 'concurrent' and the 'sequential' type (Marneros 2003). The first includes conditions with coincident schizophrenic and affective symptoms and the latter is defined as the schizoaffective disorder under a longitudinal aspect subsuming disorders with a symptom change between different episodes. The group felt that this change will improve the reliability and validity of schizoaffective disorders. A fifth character may be used to classify course e.g. F25.x.a
x – subtype
a – course which may be 0 – concurrent, and 1 - sequential
Conclusions
In the coming decades, efforts to explore simpler clues like endo-phenotypes to genetic underpinnings of disorders covered under this section will continue. It is being conceptualized that both genes and brain circuits they regulate may underlie symptom complexes across many diagnostic categories. The dimensional approach to psychiatric diagnosis will probably help in better segregating these symptom complexes. Also, there is issue of sub-threshold symptoms seen in primary care. Besides reliability and validity, issues of clinical utility are important. The changes proposed in the present classification of these disorders need to synthesize these issues.

Introduction
We began by conducting a comprehensive search (comprising both electronic and manual search) of the studies on mood disorders published in the Indian psychiatric/mental health journals. Attempt was also made to include the psychiatric research published in Indian medical/social journals (i.e. journals not dedicated to psychiatry/mental health alone). This review of the available Indian literature was conducted focusing on studies published between years 1992 (i.e. when ICD-10 was published) till date. We could locate 190 articles on mood disorders of which 161 had been published in Indian journals and 29 in International journals.
All the research articles were color-coded and divided into five broad categories for diagnostic validity as per Robins and Guze criteria (i.e. clinical description, family studies, laboratory studies, follow-up studies, and delimitation from other disorders: Table 1).

#Total is more than 100 % (i.e. 190 articles) as some articles could be classified in more than 1 category
The evidence was weighed for and against the diagnostic validity of a particular entity in mood disorders category and discussed among the members of team. We conducted a more diligent search in Indian and international literature for the following areas: (1) data inadequately represented in the Indian literature; (2) entities that were controversial in terms of their nosological status; (3) new categories/criteria/specifiers which could be potential candidate for inclusion: and (4) of interest as reflected in recent literature. References to publications from other countries have been made in the following situations: (1) as a primary reference where Indian studies were non-existent; (2) as supplement to the available Indian studies; and (3) to provide for an international perspective on controversial/debatable areas.
Chronic mania: Clinical description of chronic mania dates back to the 19th century when Kraepelin routinely described such cases in his presentations. More recently, chronic mania has been defined as presence of symptoms in excess of 2 years (Perugi et al, 1998). Prolonged continuation of manic episode has been reported from India as well, mainly in the form of case-reports. A manic episode lasting approximately five decades has been reported (Mendhekar et al, 2004). In the international literature, the prevalence of chronic mania is estimated to be around 6-13%, due to the variable criteria sets chosen to describe the condition(Perugi et al,1998; Malhi et al, 2001). Chronic mania differs partially in its psychopathological presentation from acute mania. While, disturbances in the biological functions such as sleep and appetite are hallmark of an acute episode, chronic mania is devoid of the psychomotor and vegetative symptoms seen in the acute episode. Though, schizophrenia is a potential differential diagnosis in such cases, the absence of the flattening of affect and gross thought abnormality differentiates chronic mania from schizophrenia. At times, it becomes very difficult to diagnose a case of mania because of “personality style of the patient superimposed on a cyclothymic or hyperthymic temperament” (Mendhekar et al, 2004). Though not many follow-up studies are available, experts suggest that chronic mania is a poor responder to the conventional treatment for the mood disorders namely the mood stabilizers and neuroleptics.
Chronic depression: Studies examining depressive disorders have reported a relatively high frequency of cases with a chronic course. This is especially true for elderly patients, females, and those with comorbid illnesses (medical/psychiatric/substance use) (McIntyre and O'Donovan, 2004).
Mania in partial remission: Generally a manic episode is short lasting and its mean duration is reported to be three months. However, a few case reports from India suggest that some episode do not remit completely. For instance, Chawla and colleagues (2006) reported the case with five episodes over past 22 years with persistent mood congruent delusion in the inter-episodic period. Characterization of the ‘inter-episodic’ period in such cases by the specifier “in partial remission” would benefit communication between professionals as well as management of the case.
Depression in partial remission: Incomplete remission from depression is quite common, with approximately one third of patients continuing to have residual depression (Burt, 2004). The presence of residual symptomatology after an episode of depression is associated with an increased risk of short-term relapse and a chronic course; a higher risk of suicide attempts; poor social functioning; higher comorbidity and poor outcome of comorbid illnesses; and increased social and economic costs (Kennedy and Paykel, 2004).
The Satra Bruk classification workshop held in Sweden in 1999 proposed the introduction of a specifier for post partum onset (defined as onset within three months of delivery) (Elliott, 2000).
Depression with post-partum onset: An average general populationprevalence figure of 13% has been reported for postpartum depression (O’Hara and Swain,1996).In the Indian context, Patel et al (2002) reported prevalence of postpartum depression in 23% of mothers at 6-8 weeks of childbirth; 78% of these patientshad had clinically substantial psychological morbidity duringthe antenatal period. More than one-half of the patients remainedill at 6 months after delivery. Incidence has been found to be 16% and 10% in early and late post-partum period, respectively, in another study (Sood and Sood, 2003). Economic deprivation and poor marital relationships were important risk factors for occurrence and chronicity of depression. The gender of child was also found to be a determinant of postnatal depression, a reflection of the cultural preference for a male child over a female one (Patel et al, 2002). In developedcountries, the risk factors for postnatal depression are pasthistory of psychological disorder, psychological disorder duringpregnancy, low socioeconomic status, complicated delivery, andpoor marital relationship. Additionally, post-partum depression has been found to have a substantial risk of recurrence in subsequent post-partum periods (30%-50%). Women in developing countries whosepopulations have low incomes face considerable inequalities,ranging from fewer opportunities in education and employmentto less control over personal decisions, such as the use ofcontraception to plan pregnancies. Thus women in developing countries have all the risk-factors for post-natal depression in abundance, making the specification of ‘onset during postpartum period’ even more important in such contexts.
Post-partum mania: Despite diverse presentations, there is strong evidence fromclinical, outcome, and genetic studies for a close relationship between puerperal psychosis and bipolar disorder (Dorothy et al, 2006). Women who have suffered an episode of puerperal psychosis remainat high risk of developing further affective episodes (Davidson and Robertson,1985),and puerperal episodes of illness follow 20% to 30% of birthsto women with a history of bipolar disorder or affective psychosis(Kendell,1987). Family studies of puerperal psychosis consistently demonstratefamilial aggregation of psychiatric (predominantly affective)disorder, with morbidity risks for first-degree relatives inthe range of 10% to 50% (Platz and Kendell, 1988; Dean, 1989). The findingof higher rates of affective disorder in relatives of puerperalprobands suggests a major overlap in the familial factors predisposingto puerperal psychosis and bipolar disorder.
A number of attempts have been made by various researchers to define a "biological symptomatic profile" of depression by means of genetic, biological and therapeutic studies (Staner, 1988; Rush and Weissenburger, 1994; Schotte, 1997; Parker, 2000; Hill and Gorzalka, 2005). Psychomotor and appetite disturbances, early awakening, anhedonia and psychotic symptoms seem more likely to reflect this biological dysfunction in depression (Staner, 1988). Studies have supported the construct validity of the DSM-III melancholic subtype of major depression. Schotte (1997) has proposed the integrated threshold model:
Melancholic symptom features are predictive of a positive response to ECT and to tricyclic antidepressants in the severely ill. Key features include psychomotor retardation, unreactive mood, pervasive anhedonia, and distinct quality of mood. Melancholic features are associated with shorter REM latency and/or nonsuppression of cortisol during the dexamethasone suppression test. Depressive episodes that are not melancholic may take on melancholic features with repetition and passage of time in some individuals. Once melancholic features are present, it is unclear whether they repeat across subsequent episodes. Melancholic features are not uniquely associated with a positive family history of depression per se, but they may be especially associated with a family history of severe depression (Rush and Weissenburger, 1994). Bipolar depression appears to be more likely to be 'melancholic' in type, thus providing an indirect strategy for the clinical definition of melancholia (Parker, 2000)
A recent study has pointed towards some similarities between melancholic depression and an endocannabinoid deficiency state. Interestingly, endocannabinoid activity is down-regulated by chronic stress and possibly increased by some antidepressant regimens. It has been proposed that an endocannabinoid deficiency may underlie some of the symptoms of melancholic depression, and that enhancement of this system may ultimately be a novel form of pharmacotherapy for treatment-resistant depression (Hill and Gorzalka, 2005).
While, the validity of the specification of melancholic symptoms in a depressive episode has been largely established (Rush and Weissenburger, 1994), we are raising a semantic issue here. In the current system (ICD-10) the symptoms historically regarded as ‘melancholic’ are called ‘somatic’. We propose that the term ‘melancholic' should be preferred as it is specific to depression, while the term ‘somatic’ leads to confusion with ‘somatoform symptoms / disorders.’
Approximately 8-14% of patients with psychiatric illness have catatonia as a presenting feature (Pommepuy and Januel, 2002).
Depression with catatonia: Depressed patients with catatonia have been found to be older, to have a significantly higher frequency of major depression, to have more severe cognitive impairments and more severe deficits in activities of daily living than depressed non-catatonic patients (Starksteinet al, 1996).
Mania with catatonia: Manic patients with catatonia are reported to have more mixed episodes, more severe manic symptoms, more general psychopathology, higher co-morbidity, longer hospitalization, and lower Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scores than the noncatatonic patients. Thus, the presence of catatonic symptoms in mania is regarded as a marker of a worse course and outcome (Braunig et al, 1998).
An increasing amount of research has challenged the traditional view that juvenile-onset bipolar disorder is a rare condition. The cumulative incidence of bipolar disorder in childhood and adolescence may equal the 1% rate in adults (Lewinsohn et al, 1995). Available Western studies suggest that childhood/ adolescent onset bipolar disorder have a greater prevalence of chronicity, psychosis, mixed and atypical features, high incidence of rapid cycling, and poor response to mood stabilizers (Geller et al, 2004; Wozniak, 2005). However, studies from India report a high rate of recovery and low chronicity (Rajeev et al, 2003; Jairam, 2004).
We support the continued inclusion of mood disorders within ‘general psychiatric’ disorder categories rather than among F90-F98 (…disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence). However, we recommend that onset in childhood and adolescence be specified to ensure required clinical and research attention towards these conditions.
Traditionally, bipolar disorder has been considered as an episodic disorder with good inter-episode recovery. More recent studies have shown that in some cases complete recovery may not be achieved and subsyndromal symptoms persist in the inter-episodic period. The notion of complete interepisodic recovery is challenged further by studies documenting that certain patients demonstrate social, marital, occupational and cognitive dysfunction, even when euthymic (Watson and Young, 2001).
In line with our earlier recommendation for a specifier for complete/ incomplete remission of single ‘episode,’ we suggest that a provision should be made to specify whether the lifetime course of a recurrent disorder is characterised by complete/incomplete interepisodic recovery.
There are a few studies on seasonal pattern of mood disorders from India. The available evidence suggests that:
A significant proportion (22%) of bipolar affective disorder patients has been found to have seasonal pattern (Avasthi et al, 1996). Further, patients with seasonal pattern have been reported to have episodes mostly in summer and winter, longer episode duration and more psychotic features as compared to patients with no seasonal pattern. There also appears to be a genetic propensity present to mood variations in relation to environmental temperature (Fernandes et al, 1996).
The studies on seasonal pattern of mood disorders from India have been mainly limited to one group of authors. If, indeed, the concept of seasonal pattern (more so, the reverse seasonal pattern) of mood disorders is to be validated, there is a need to replicate these findings in other centres of India. A provision in the classificatory system for separately coding the specifier of seasonal pattern will stimulate further research in this area.
Rapid cycling among patients with bipolar affective disorders is important because of its implications for long-term prognosis and for the use of antidepressants. Indian literature about rapid cycling is mainly restricted to case-reports (Garg et al, 1998). International literature (Bauer et al, 1994) suggests that about 15-20% of bipolar disorders have a course which could be characterised as ‘rapid cycling’ (defined as four or more mood episodes in a year). Rapid cycling is associated with female gender, substantial depressive morbidity, high risk for serious suicide attempts, poor response to lithium and fair response to calcium channel blockers (Frye and Altshuler, 1997; Coryell et al, 2003). Some studies suggest that rapid cycling (spontaneous or induced) once established, becomes for many years a stable rhythm in a substantial proportion of patients (Koukopoulos A, et al, 2003). However, other studies examining data related to phenomenology, family history, and long-term outcome do not support rapid cycling as a separate entity but as a temporary complicated clinical state (Kilzieh and Akiskal, 1999)
We propose that patients with a course characterized by four or more episodes in a year for at least two consecutive years should be specified as having ‘rapid cycling.’ The duration criterion (two years) is in line with that currently employed for other chronic disorders such as dysthymia and cyclothymia as suggested by certain authors (Koukopoulos et al, 2003).
As discussed in the recommendation number 1.4, the term ‘somatic syndrome’ does not include somatic (i.e. physical) symptoms of depression. The symptoms described are more commonly referred to as melancholic symptoms in the existing literature. In order to avoid confusion with somatic symptoms and in line with the available research, we recommend the change of terminology from ‘somatic’ to ‘melancholic’.
The ICD prefers the use of the term mood over affective as mood represents a more enduring emotional state in contrast to affect which represents a feeling tone in response to present events. The F30-39 category has been named mood disorders in ICD-10. Following the same rationale, the term bipolar affective disorder can be replaced by bipolar mood disorder.
Somatic (i.e. physical or somatoform) symptoms of depression are common in manycountries, but their frequency varies depending on how somatizationis defined. In part, this variation may also reflect characteristics of physiciansand health care systems, as well as cultural differences amongpatients.
In some Western as well as Indian studies, a majority of patients with depression present with somatic (i.e. physical or somatoform) symptoms but acknowledgepsychological symptoms (such as depressed mood or guilt) when they were specifically asked about them (Goldberg & Bridges, 1988; Raguram et al, 2001). Even more importantly, the largest study to examine the relation between somatic symptoms and depression (which utilized data from World Health Organization's studyof psychological problems in general health care - 25, 916 patients from 15 primarycare centres in 14 countries in 5 continents) found that somatic symptoms are often the only or predominant presenting complaints in some patients with depressive illnesses (Simon et al, 1999). In this study, of the 5447patients who underwent a structured assessment for depressive and somatoform disorders, 1146 met the criteria for major depression. Among them, 69% reported only somatic symptoms (Simon et al, 1999).
The personal significance and meaning of the symptoms are shaped by cultural notions concerning the human body in health and in sickness. Although both depressive and somatic symptoms were distressing to Indian patients, qualitative analysis showed that depressive symptoms, unlike somatic symptoms, were construed as socially disadvantageous (Raguram et al, 2001).
Anger attacks have been proposed as a specific form of anger in depression. They are characterized by a rapid onset of intense anger and a crescendo of autonomic arousal occurring in response to trivial provocations. They resemble panic attacks but lack the predominant affects of fear and anxiety associated with panic attacks. They typically occur in situations in which an individual feels emotionally trapped and experiences outbursts of anger that are later described by the patient as being uncharacteristic and inappropriate to the situation at hand. The prevalence of anger attacks in depressed patients is approximately 30% to 40 % (Fava and Rosenbaum, 1999). Though the presence or absence of hostility, anger and aggression in depression has been a matter of controversy, anger attacks have been found to occur more often in depressed patients in comparison to healthy controls. Some studies have reported that depressed patients with anger attacks differ from those without such attacks in terms of clinical profile, comorbid personality disorders and certain biological variables. Serotonergic dysfunction may characterize this distinct subtype of depression - depression with anger attacks (Painuly et al, 2005). Fraquas et al (2006) reported that serum levels of homocysteine were positively correlated with length of current major depressive episode in patients with anger attacks but not in those without anger attacks. The attacks have been found to disappear in 53% to 71% of depressed patients treated with fluoxetine, sertraline, or imipramine (Fava and Rosenbaum, 1999). Significance of aggression as a gender-specific diagnostic criterion for depression has been proposed as ‘male depressive syndrome’ (Winkler, 2005).
In the current edition of ICD, recurrent mania finds mention as an inclusion term under other bipolar affective disorders (31.8). The previous edition, ICD-9, had a separate category called recurrent mania. However, there has been persistent debate about the same. Avasthi et al (1996) reported that recurrent mania was by no means uncommon in India (6.5%). A recent review examining the nosological status and validity of recurrent unipolar mania (Harish et al 2005) also concluded that unipolar or recurrent mania occurs in sizeable number of patients (5%-25%). Unipolar mania exhibit consistent differences from bipolar mania in clinical, course and outcome, laboratory and family studies.
We recommend that, recurrent mania should be coded separately under the broad category of bipolar affective disorders rather than as an inclusion term with ‘other bipolar disorders’.
There are few Indian data on depressive episode(s) with hypomania. Klerman (1989) and Akiskal (1999) labelled recurrent depression with hypomania as Bipolar affective disorder (BPAD)-II in their classifications of bipolar spectrum disorders. Bipolar II disorder is also recognized as adistinct subtype in the DSM-IV (1994) classification. The life-time prevalence rates of both bipolar I and bipolarII disorders have been estimated at 0.6%, giving a combinedfigure of 1.2% (Weissman and Myers, 1978). A number of recent studies have helped in establishing bipolar-II disorder as a separate entity from BPAD-I disorder as well as recurrent depressive disorder. The summary of these studies is presented below:
Clinical description:Goodwin and Jamison (1990) have suggested that sub-syndromal bipolarity appears at a meanage of 14 years, while the initial episode of bipolar I disorder occurs at a median age of 18 years and bipolar II disorderat a median age of 21 years. Majority of available studies conclude that bipolar II disorder has an intermediate age of onset as compared to bipolar I or unipolar disorder.
The gender ratio of bipolar II patients tended to favour women having this disorder as compared to bipolar I patients where the gender ratio was fairly equal (Dunner, 1993). Clinical differences have been found in some studies comparing females and males suffering from BPAD-II. Females, as opposed to males, had significantly lower age at onset, more axis I co-morbidity, atypical depressions, intra–depression hypomanic symptoms (i.e., mixed depression), and family history of suicidal behavior. Females had more sadness, loss of energy, loss of interest, and suicidal ideas (Benazzi, 2005). Differences were found mainly on the depressive pole of the disorder and not of great magnitude but the authors concluded that these findings merit further attention.
When compared with Bipolar-I and unipolar disorders, researchhas found certain distinct differences in rates of recovery, clinical features and number of episodes. Rapid cycling was noted among bipolar I and bipolar II (but not unipolar) patients. Patients with seasonal affective disorder were more likely to be bipolar II than unipolar. Clinically depressed bipolar I patients evidenced psychomotor retardation; whereas, depressed bipolar II and unipolar patients either had psychomotor agitation or psychomotor retardation. One clinical feature that has consistently appeared to differentiate patients with bipolar II disorder from those with bipolar Idisorder or unipolar depression is the risk of suicide, whichappears to be elevated in this group (Bourgeois 1997). A history of suicide attempt was highest among bipolar II as compared to bipolar I and unipolar depressed patients (Dunner 1993). This may be related to the fact that the diagnosisis often missed, and consequently patients are ineffectivelytreated (MacQueen and Young, 2001). Also, high rates of comorbid disorders have been reported among patientswith bipolar II disorder (Savino et al, 1993; Pini et al, 1997), including substance abuseor dependence, anxiety disorders, and personality disorders.
Family studies: distinct familial inheritancefor bipolar II disorder has been suggested (Cassano et al, 1999). A tendencytowards a mild expression of mania may run in families (Kato et al, 2000). A summation of the large-scale studies where relatives of bipolar I, bipolar II, and unipolar patients were interviewed to determine their diagnosis revealed an elevated morbid risk for mania (bipolar I disorder) in relatives of bipolar I patients and bipolar II patients, as compared to relatives of unipolar patients and an elevated morbid risk for bipolar II disorder in relatives of bipolar II probands. These latter data suggested that bipolar II might "breed true." The family study data supported the notion that bipolar II was more similar to bipolar I than unipolar disorder but that bipolar II may be (on a familial basis) somewhat distinct from both bipolar I and unipolar disorder.
Laboratory studies: Preliminary imaging (Altshuler et al, 1995) and biochemical(Kato et al, 2000) studies that have separately examined subjects with bipolarI and bipolar II disorders have found differences in these groupsthat further support the view of bipolar II disorder as a discretediagnostic entity. Periventricular hyperintensities were found to be more common in bipolar I patients (62%) than in bipolar II patients (38%) and normal comparison subjects (30%; Altshuler et al, 1995). The rate of 5178C genotype was significantly higher in patients with bipolar disorder (64.8%, P < 0.05) compared with controls (53.2%) when paternally transmitted cases were excluded. This effect was more prominent in patients with bipolar II disorder (75.6%, P < 0.02 to controls). Bipolar II patients with 5178A genotype without family history had significantly later age at onset (56.0 ±14.7 years, P < 0.05) than other bipolar patients (Kato et al 2000). The major difficulty in assessing the review of the biological studies was the fact that no biological study consistently predicted discrimination of bipolar from unipolar patients, and many of the studies suffered from small sample size and lack of replication.
Some studies have found differences betweenbipolar I and bipolar II disorders on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)and on the presence of vascular abnormalities, includingRaynaud's phenomenon, migraine and ‘migraine equivalents’(Altshuler et al, 1995).
Delimitation from other disorders: t he conceptof a trichotomy of mood disorders—bipolar I, bipolar II,and unipolar major depression—has been supported by studies that found distinct patterns of symptoms (as discussed above) and distinct familial inheritancefor bipolar II disorder (Cassano et al, 1999). Researchhas found distinct differences in rates of recovery,clinical features, and number of episodes. Preliminary imaging (Altshuler et al, 1995) and biochemical (Kato, 2000) studies that have separately examined subjects with bipolarI and bipolar II disorders have found differences in these groupsthat further support the view of bipolar II disorder as a discretediagnostic entity. The results of some studies support the notion that bipolarII disorder is intermediate between unipolar depression andbipolar I disorder with respect to illness course.
Follow-up studies: b ipolar II disorder appears to be diagnostically stable (Angst, 1986; Coryell, 1996).A variety of studies suggest that the probability of patients with bipolar II disorderdeveloping a manic episode was about 4% to 17% over up to 40 years of follow-up, with many of the studies supporting low rates of diagnostic conversion from bipolar II to bipolar I (Dunner and Tay, 1993; Coryell et al, 1995). Studies suggest that the number of episodes of depression maybe a stronger predictor of psychosocial outcome than mania in Bipolar II disorder (MacQueen et al, 2000). Preliminary studies suggest that the newer anticonvulsants maybe of benefit for this group.
There seems to be overwhelming evidence for existence of a valid diagnostic entity, characterised by depressive episode(s) with hypomania, which has been labelled “Bipolar-II disorder” in research studies as well as in DSM-IV. The ICD-10 at present mentions it as an inclusion term under ‘other bipolar disorders’ (F31.8). Over past one-and-half decades since the current version of ICD came into being, even more research evidence has been generated pointing towards diagnostic validity of this entity. Hence, in our opinion it is now time that this entity be accorded a distinct status of its own.
CONCLUSIONS
For the purpose of proposing modifications to the classification of mood disorders in the ICD-11, we have restricted ourselves to only those recommendations, (a) which have some evidence of validity in the existing literature, and (b) which have potential utility for the clinicians and researchers if incorporated. While the strength of the evidence-base varies from one recommendation to another, in terms of utility, we believe all of them to be quite useful. For many of our recommendations, we have deliberately not gone into details of definition / criteria. We believe that these definitions and criteria could only be refined, once the system provides for coding them. Till this consensus about definitions is achieved, we suggest that drafters for ICD-11 incorporate these recommendations with the most likely acceptable and/or flexible criteria, leaving some room for clinicians and researchers.

Introduction
We were assigned with the task of possible modifications in the classification and categorisation of the Neurotic, Stress related and Somatoform disorders grouped under the codes F 40 to F 49 in the ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision) for proposed ICD 11. Our recommendations were formulated on the basis of a comprehensive search (both electronic and manual search) of Indian and international literature pertaining to anxiety, somatoform and stress related disorder. The literature search of Indian studies was focused on studies published since 1990 onwards. The collected evidence was presented to an expert-panel comprising of Faculty of Department of Psychiatry, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi for thorough discussion. This final draft of the recommendations has been prepared based on the consensus of the expert panel. We have made an attempt to examine the validity of our recommendations in the light of Robins and Guze (1970) criteria viz. clinical description, family studies, follow-up studies, laboratory studies and delimitation from other disorders.
In ICD 10, the essential feature of generalized anxiety disorder(GAD) is anxiety that is generalized and persistent and not restricted to any particular environmental circumstances. In addition the sufferer must have primary symptoms of anxiety on most days for at least several weeks at a time and usually for several months. The ICD 10 does not mention the exact duration of clinical features to diagnose the anxiety disorder.
The current diagnostic threshold for GAD raises questions about diagnostic requirements, such as whether 6-month duration and other psycho-physiological symptoms are needed for optimal identification of individuals who suffer from a clinically significant condition. Flint (2005) highlighted that in the community, period-prevalence of co morbidity of GAD with another psychiatric disorder is 4%, while the prevalence of pure GAD is only 1%. Early recognition of GAD is of paramount importance considering the co morbidity between GAD and other (especially depressive) disorders (Kessler 2001). Temporally primary GAD significantly predicts the subsequent onset of depression and other secondary disorders highlighting the importance of early intervention and treatment of primary GAD to prevent the subsequent onset of secondary anxiety and depression. Unfortunately, little is known about this possibility because, few people with pure GAD seek treatment. Specification of a duration criterion (preferably for 3 months) could help in early identification of the disorder (before the onset of co morbidity) and paving the way for collection of epidemiological data on pure GAD and also to develop outreach strategies that may correct this situation of low help-seeking in such cases.
Recent data from the US National Co morbidity Survey Replication (NCS-R), carried out during 2001-2003 also focused on the duration requirement for diagnosis of GAD using WHO Composite International Diagnostic Interview as assessment tool (Kessler 2005, Ruscio et al 2007). The report suggests that a large number of people suffer from a GAD-like syndrome with less than six months duration. The study also pointed out that cases of GAD with episodes of 1-5 months did not differ greatly from those with episodes of six or more months in onset, persistence, impairment, co-morbidity, parental GAD, or sociodemographic correlates.
The past decade has seen tremendous strides in the knowledge about the cause, epidemiology, and treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder. Research on clinical characteristics of the disorder have focused on several areas, including identification of subtypes, the role of insight, and patterns of co morbidity (Aigner et al 2005, Bellino et al 2005).
Poor insight identifies a group of OCD patients with distinct clinical characteristics. InOCD with poor insight, patients generally fail to recognize that the obsessions or compulsions are excessive or unreasonable. In a study from India, Ravi Kishore et al (2004) evaluated 100 subjects with OCD (DSM-IV), who had received adequate drug treatment. They observed that 25% of the subjects had poor insight. Poor insight was associated with poor response to drug treatment, earlier age-at-onset, longer duration of illness, a greater number of obsessive-compulsive symptoms, more severe illness and higher co morbidity rate, particularly with major depression. In a study conducted in Bangalore (India), it was observed that poor insight was an important clinical predictor of poor response to treatment with SSRI (seen in 40% to 60% of the sample); (Shetti et al 2005). Similarly, Erzegovesi (2001) evaluated clinical variables that might influence the antiobsessional response to proserotonergic drugs in a sample of 159 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It was observed that non responders (43.4%) had an earlier onset and a higher frequency of "poor insight" subtype and somatic obsessions in comparison to treatment responders.
Several studies have shown significant brain abnormalities in OCD patients (Aigner et al, 2005). A recent MRI study has shown that there are significantly more features suggestive of structural brain abnormalities in OCD patients with poor insight in comparison to OCD patients with good insight (Aigner et al 2005).
Literature on clinical and psychobiological distinctiveness of hoarding behaviour in OCD (Bellino 2005; Lochner at al 2005) also supports the need for a specifier related to insight in OCD. In OCD, hoarding is associated with poor insight, lack of resistance to the compulsion to hoard, poor treatment motivation, poor response to SSRIs in comparison to other OCD symptom dimensions. Further, at the level of biological and psychosocial determinants, pathological hoarding could be associated with schizophrenia, OCD, and tic disorders, possibly through dopaminergic mechanisms (Damecour & Charron 1998).
Co morbidity between OCD and schizophrenia is an area of emerging interest. Evidence shows that obsessions and compulsions are more common in patients with schizophrenia than was previously thought (Matsunaga et al 2000). Matsunaga et al (2000) further observed that OCD patients are less likely to have poor insight (PI), compared to patients with OCD and schizophrenia; however, OCD patients with poor insight showed a similar degree of functional impairment to that observed in patients with OCD and schizophrenia, pointing towards different outcomes in the two subgroups of OCD. The authors compared 78 OCD patients (primary interest [PI] group: 36% of the sample based on insight question of the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale) with 20 schizophrenics with OCD (OCD+S). After a 6-month combination of clomipramine and cognitive-behavioral treatment, 14 of 25 OCD PI patients no longer fell in the PI category, which was associated with reduced OCD severity and depressive status. Schizotypal personality disorder (SPD) was more common in patients whose insight remained poor even after the treatment. Co morbid SPD in PI patients may be associated with worse prognosis.
The current classification systems ICD–10 (World Health Organization, 1992) does not give clear operational guidelines for the diagnosis of Dhat syndrome, possibly because it is considered a culture-bound syndrome. Once we label a clinical entity as culture bound, it runs the risk of exclusion from mainstream psychiatric classification with resultant lack of research and understanding (Chadda & Ahuja 1990; Bhatia & Malik 1991; Sumathipala et al 2004).
Dhat syndrome, originally described in India based on cultural beliefs of people, has been found to be highly prevalent in countries neighboring India such as Pakistan, Nepal, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and others (Sumathipala 2004). The patients of Dhat syndrome present with multiple somatic and psychological symptoms in the background of perceived loss of semen. This causal belief is not culture bound - male preoccupation with semen loss is universal and has been frequently associated with depression and anxiety. Similarly, in patients presenting with ‘Dhat syndrome,’ it is not uncommon on clinical exploration to find underlying neurotic and depressive disorders. Several authors have commented that Dhat syndrome should be considered as a culturally determined symptom of (or syndrome within) common disorders like depression, anxiety and somatisation rather than as a culture bound syndrome (Wig 1994). Various experts have questioned the validity of Dhat syndrome being viewed as a single neurotic disorder in ICD–10, where it is included under ‘other specific neurotic disorders’ (F48.8). Indeed, it is difficult to classify a high proportion of these cases as ‘pure’ Dhat (Chadda & Ahuja 1990; Chadda 1995; Bhatia & Malik 1991). Several Indian studies have recommended that Dhat syndrome should be integrated into existing rubrics of psychiatric classification in appropriate places (Chadda & Ahuja 1990; Bhatia & Malik 1991; Wig 1994). This might help to formulate the management of Dhat syndrome comprehensively on a biopsychosocial model depending upon its clinical presentation.
Fatigue is a common symptom in Dhat syndrome. Disorders with fatigue as the main symptom are often grouped together as functional somatic syndromes (Bhatia & Malik 1991; Barsky & Borus 1999). The basic cognitive formulation offered to explain these disorders is based on somatosensory amplification, misattribution and abnormal illness behaviour. These mechanisms seem to operate in patients with Dhat syndrome, who frequently make their first contact with departments other than psychiatry, for example urology, dermatology and general medicine, and are then referred to psychiatry. Also, partly as a result of arbitrary diagnostic guidelines, but also due to their own expectations and characteristics, patients are often dissatisfied with their treatment or causal explanations offered (Chadda & Ahuja 1990). These features suggest that patients without anxiety and depression should be placed within somatoform disorders.

Proposals for the Category F50: Eating Disorders
Proposals for the Category F53: Mental and Behavioral Disorders associated with Perinatal Period
Introduction
Measuring the validity of psychiatric diagnoses is still anunsolved problem. Yet, revisions of the Diagnostic and StatisticalManual of Mental Disorders and of chapter V of the InternationalClassification of Diseases are now under way, with the hopeof improving the validity of the current systems. In this article we present few proposals for changes in the section F50-59 of the ICD 10, on the basis of available Indian data, Western data and clinical experience with due emphasis on criteria laid down by Robins and Guze and Kendell.
Evidence for the Proposed Changes
F50: EATING DISORDERS
Recent years have seen increasing dissatisfaction with the criteria for eating disorders as they currently stand, which combined with good evidence that a large number of patients of all ages presenting for treatment fall into the ‘not otherwise specified’ or ‘atypical’ category, has resulted in lively debate and suggestions for improvement.
Anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) are currently considered as disorders confined to the Western culture. Although many influences have been noted as formative in the development of eating disorders, slimness has received most attention in recent years. The recent identification of eating disorders in non-Western societies and different subcultures within the Western world has led to suggestions that Western cultural ideals of slimness and beauty have infiltrated these societies (Nasser, 1994; Shroff & Thompson, 2004). The biomedical definition of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa emphasizes fat phobia in the presentation of these disorders. However, evidence exists that suggests anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa can exist without the Western fear of fatness and that this culturally biased view may obscure health care professionals’ understanding of a patient’s own cultural reasons for self-starvation, and even hinder their recovery Khandelwal et al, 1995).
Anorexia nervosa was earlier believed to be limited to the white Caucasian population in the West. But, in the last two decades it has been identified with increasing frequency in non western societies (including Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Malaysia, India, Pakistan and Singapore) as well as ethnic groups in the West.
Current diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa are largely influenced by western cultural concept of dread of fat and drive for thinness. The diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa as outlined by the ICD 10 include: ‘A body image distortion in the form of specific psychopathology whereby a dread of fatness persists as an intrusive overvalued idea and the patient imposes a low weight threshold on himself or herself’. The contemporary diagnostic criteria therefore de-emphasize ‘emaciation’ and emphasize ‘fat-phobia’. Nasser (1994) attributed the transculturality of anorexia nervosa to a globalization of ‘fat-phobia’ because of the emergence of a culturally shrunken world due to mass communication technology. Thus, Western researchers presume that incidences of anorexia nervosa in non-Western societies are replicas of the West. As a result, fat-phobia still remains the ‘core’ psychopathology underlying anorexia nervosa despite its presence in non-Western societies. Indeed, in the current diagnostic systems cases that do not meet the criterion of fat-phobia are labeled as atypical (eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS) in DSM IV or atypical in ICD 10).
Dread of fatness as the core psychopathology does not explain all cases of anorexia nervosa especially in the non western societies. Several cases of anorexia nervosa without accompanying fat-phobia have been reported in different societies and cultures (China: Lee 1995, Lee 2001; India: Khandelwal and Saxena 1990, Khandelwal et al, 1995). Lee et al (2001) evaluated 48 consecutive patients with broadly defined anorexia nervosa with a self-report rationale for food refusal questionnaire. Two-thirds (32) of the patients expressed fat-phobia but one third (16) did not. Sensation of abdominal bloating and low appetite were among the other rationales given by patients for refusal to eat. Based on a qualitative analysis of 70 Chinese anorexia nervosa patients (who had all been examined by an experienced psychiatrist over a period of 12 years), Lee (1995) reported that 59% of patients did not express any fat-phobia throughout their illness. They differed from their fat-phobic counterparts only in that they were premorbidly slimmer and demonstrated no signs of bulimia, often considered a sign of fat phobia.
Khandelwal & Saxena (1990) and Khandelwal et al (1995) asserted that the presentation of eating disorders in India varied from the typical description of anorexia nervosa. Their female anorexic patients typically showed decreased appetite, excessive weight loss and amenorrhea but no fat-phobia or body image disturbance. Though finally diagnosed and treated as cases of eating disorder, they presented considerable difficulty in diagnosis according to current classification systems. They suggested that this variation was due to sociocultural factors, as Indian culture does not dictate slimness as a beauty ideal, and that there was not as much concern with body image as in the West.
Banks (1992) studied the case of two anorectic women from the Minneapolis–St Paul area of Minnesota. Both women were from conservative religious fundamentalist backgrounds and expressed their desire to reduce food intake through religious understanding about food, the body and sexuality, provided by their religious culture.
The western version of fat phobic anorexia nervosa has neglected the full metaphorical significance of self-starvation and, when applied in a cross-cultural context, may constitute a category fallacy. Most non-Western patients will fall into the atypical group by not fulfilling criteria of dread of fat. Lee (1995) suggested the use of more culturally sensitive diagnostic criteria. One of the diagnostic criterions suggested by Lee (1995) states that, ‘the patients use complaints (such as abdominal bloating or pain, loss of appetite, no hunger, distaste for food, fear of fatness, and/or “don’t know”) to resist attempts to make them increase food intake.’ Due to its seeming ubiquity in Western anorexics and the relative lack of cross-cultural studies on anorexia nervosa it may be too early to shed the concept of fat phobia entirely. Hence, fat phobia should be retained as a specifier of anorexia nervosa, rather than as an essential criterion.
The criterion of amenorrhea was not required for the diagnosis of AN or BN by DSM-III although it was typically associated with anorexia nervosa. Amenorrhea was initially introduced as a criterion for several reasons (Garfinkel et al, 1996; Falk & Halmi, 1982). It was mentioned in historical reports of cases of anorexia nervosa in females. Also, it was hypothesized in more recent decades that anorexia was due to a primary impairment of hypothalamic functioning. Since then, however, it has been observed that amenorrhea generally follows loss of body weight and body fat. While, amenorrhea can occur is a minority of women before substantial weight loss (Theander, 1970), women with all the behavioral and psychopathological symptoms characteristics of anorexia nervosa including weight below the current diagnostic criterion may continue to menstruate. Also, there is no parallel criterion for males (Watson & Andersen, 2003). In a large community epidemiological survey, amenorrhoea did not discriminate between women with anorexia nervosa and women with all the features except amenorrhoea, across a number of relevant variables (Garfinkel et al, 1996).
ICD-10 differs from DSM-IV in being less stringent about the duration of amenorrhea and including some reference to change in male reproductive hormone function. There are some inherent limitations however in both of these diagnostic systems, as they impose a historically appreciated but perhaps overly specific medical criterion of amenorrhea. Current ICD-10 and DSM-IV anorexia nervosa category excludes substantial numbers of individuals who do not fulfill the monotheitic diagnostic criteria, because of the absence of amenorrhea, or because their final weight does not reach the required threshold, despite having clinically significant psychopathologies gravitating around preoccupation with body weight, food, and eating (Mitrany, 1992; Williamson et al 1992; Thaw et al, 2001). A diagnosis of eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS), which is typically regarded as residual, is often misinterpreted as indicating problems of lesser clinical significance (Mitchell, 2005). Levels of distress, behavioral abnormalities, and cognitions similar to those associated with a full syndrome eating disorder often accompany EDNOS (Herzog et al, 1993; Thaw et al, 2001). In an effort to develop homogenous diagnostic groups that can have implications for treatment and course, care must be taken not to exclude people because of small variability in the symptom picture (Dancyger & Garfinkel, 1995).
It is therefore suggested that amenorrhea may be retained as a specifier of anorexia nervosa rather than as an essential criteria. Anorexia Nervosa may be identified on the basis of substantial self induced starvation to the extent of producing significant medical morbidity, which may include amenorrhea.
The weight criterion for anorexia nervosa has also varied over the years. Regardless of the degree of actual weight loss, patients with anorexia nervosa - like symptoms appear to experience a high degree of physiological and psychological distress similar to full anorexia nervosa. For example, a patient may begin dieting at a healthy personal weight of 115% (of ideal) and loses to 90% of this weight, with significant functional medical consequences, but never reach the 85% criterion. In fact partial-syndrome anorexia appears to be more common than anorexia nervosa (King, 1989; Walters & Kendler, 1995). About 1.5% of young women have an eating disorder in full form (Dancyger & Garfinkel, 1995; Ghaderi & Scott, 2001) and another 7%–10% have some, but not all of the features of an eating disorder (Dancyger & Garfinkel, 1995). There is controversy as to whether eating disorders are qualitatively distinct or whether they exist along a continuum of dieting and weight concerns. Herzog et al (1993) followed up a group of 33 women with partial syndrome AN, BN, or both for an average of 41 months. At follow-up, 45% of the subjects had gone on to develop a full-criteria eating disorder, and as many as 82% had met full criteria for an eating disorder at least once during the course of their illness. Similarly, King (1989) observed a spectrum of eating disorder severities with some movement between diagnostic groupings over the 12–18 month follow-up in his study of women in a general practice. These findings suggest that a continuum of pathology may exist in which partial syndromes may reflect an earlier phase in the disorder and thus an artifact of the particular timing of the intake interview or assessment.
The primary weight criterion for a diagnosis of anorexia nervosa is a weight less than 85% of what is considered normal for that person’s age and height (DSM-IV). A body mass index (BMI) less than or equal to 17.5 kg/m2, which originated from the ICD-10 diagnostic criteria for research is not adjusted for age and sex. It should be realized that a body mass index of 17.5 is a strict weight cutoff only for individuals over age 20. For children, and to a lesser extent for adolescents, the body mass index cutoff is less strict than the primary DSM-IV weight criterion.
In keeping with the categorical approach to diagnosis, a cutoff may be specified on the dimension of body size/weight. If ICD persists with BMI, at the minimum, it would require a better specification with regard to age and sex.
F53: Mental and Behavioral Disorders associated with Puerperium Not Elsewhere Classified
Recently delivered mothers are vulnerable to the whole spectrum of general psychiatric disorders, as well as those resulting from the physical and psychological changes of childbirth. Nearly 30% of women have adjustment problems and 15%-20% have minor to major depression. Maternal suicide and infanticide are rare but the more common and yet less recognized risks are those of maternal illness – beginning in utero – on the infant. Considering the high risk of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality (Appleby, 1991; Patel et al, 2003; Anoop et al, 2004; Buist, 2006) associated with post partum disorders it is essential to fabricate a diagnostic system with adequate sensitivity for identification of these disorders.
The rubric of postpartum disorders may be particularly important for developing countries. Indian studies have found high rates of post partum depression (16% to 23%) and have highlighted the importance of social factors, specifically poverty and female gender of the infant as risk factors for the same (Patel et al 2002; Chandran et al 2002).
Current status of postpartum disorder in ICD 10: The ICD-10, permits the classification of mental and behavioural disorders associated with the puerperium (F53) only if they have an onset within six weeks of delivery and if they cannot be classified elsewhere in the ICD 10 either because insufficient information is available or because it is considered that special additional clinical features are present that make classification elsewhere inappropriate. It will usually be possible to classify mental disorders associated with puerperium by using two other codes: the first is elsewhere in chapter V (F) and indicates the specific type of mental disorder (usually affective F30-F39), and the second is O99.3 (mental diseases and diseases of the nervous system complicating the puerperium) of ICD 10. The DSM-IV, with an even shorter onset specifier of four weeks, is restricted to four diagnoses only, and likewise is rarely used. In the light of available evidence that post partum disorders can occur for periods up to 1 year post delivery and that symptoms may have onset during the last trimester of pregnancy the current “6 weeks post partum onset” diagnostic criteria in ICD 10 is too restrictive.
Specific features of postnatal mood disorder are acknowledged in the text of DSM IV (e.g., fluctuating course and mood lability, delusions including the baby, risk of infanticide, disinterest in the infant, guilt because of dissonance between the mother's mood and society's expectation of happiness, and less than optimum development of a mother/infant relationship). These features are not described in the ICD 10.
Recent literature shows a growing focus on the entire perinatal period for mental health of the mother as this period significantly influences the healthy development of the fetus and the newborn. The perinatal mental health period spans conception to two years after childbirth according to some experts (Kowalenko et al 2000; Currid, 2004). It is the time when women are most likely to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital (Dean and Kendell, 1981), are at increased risk of experiencing an affective mental illness, and those with a pre-existing mental illness are more prone to relapse or recurrence of the condition (R C Psych 2000; Pritchard & Harris, 1996). A meta-analysis of 59 studies (including 12,810 women, mainly from developed countries) found an average prevalence rate of non-psychotic postnatal depression (PND) of 13% (95% CI - 12.3%-13.4%) (O' Hara et al, 1996). Most cases develop within the first 3 months, with a peak incidence at 4-6 weeks. Although one study showed that most cases last around 3 months and resolve spontaneously without treatment, another study showed that 50% of cases lasted over 6 months and some persisted at 4 years. Two prospective studies from Goa and Tamil Nadu detected depressive disorder in 23% and 16% respectively, with depression persisting six months after child birth in 11%-14% of women (Chandran et al 2002; Patel et al 2002). Depression and anxiety often begin in pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester, and so ‘perinatal’ rather than postnatal depression might be a better term.
However, the evidence for familial aggregationwas significant for narrowly defined postpartum depression (onsetwithin 4-8 weeks of delivery) but not for a broader definition(onset within 6 months of delivery) that is perhaps more typicalof the way the diagnosis is used as a lay term and applied inclinical practice (Forty et al, 2006). Based on such evidence, the Satra Bruk classification workshop held in Sweden in 1999, proposed to add a postnatal onset specifier of 3 months (Elliot, 2000).
Balancing available scientific evidence with common clinical usage a proposal for ICD 11 is to replace the duration of onset in the puerperium by onset from conception to 3 months post delivery i.e., the perinatal period.
Recently delivered mothers are vulnerable to the entire spectrum of general psychiatric disorders, as well as those resulting from the physical and psychological changes of childbirth. The postpartum “blues” can be part of the normative postpartum adjustment and affect up to 80% of women (Robin, 1962; Pitt, 1968). The mild symptoms of the blues differ qualitatively and quantitatively from postpartum major depression and do not interfere with maternal role functioning (Miller, 1999).
The prevalence of major or minor depression in pregnant women ranges from 7% to 26% (Chandran et al 2002; Patel et al 2002; Moses-Kolko & Roth, 2004). Depression during pregnancy is a strong predictor of postpartum depression and is associated with adverse effects on fetal development (Graff et al, 1991; Chandran et al 2002; Patel et al 2002). The reported rate of recurrence of postnatal depression (PND) after a subsequent childbirth is 30% and the rate is higher for women in whom the first episode of PND is the first-ever depressive episode, compared with the rate in women who have had previous non-puerperal depression (41% vs. 18%) (Cooper & Murray, 1995).
Most cases of post-partum psychosis are manic-depressive in form, and there is much evidence for a close connection between puerperal and bipolar disorders. Nearly half of women with bipolar disorder experience childbearing-related episodes (Blehar et al, 1998), predominantly depression. Another literature links post-partum and 'cycloid' (acute polymorphic) psychoses.
Post-partum anxiety disorders are underemphasized and may be more common than depression (Matthey et al, 2003). A review of eight studies of 'panic disorder' showed that 44% anxious women had an exacerbation and 10% a new onset, in the puerperium (Hertzberg, 1999). The focus of anxiety is also important, because it may indicate specific psychological treatment. Since the pioneering study of Bydlowski and Raoul-Duval (1978), over 40 papers have appeared on PTSD resulting from stressful parturition. There have been eight quantitative studies, showing rates up to 5.6% (Creedy et al, 2000). Obsessions of infanticide were among the first post-partum disorders to be described (Chapman, 1959; Button, 1972). Other morbid phenomena can also become a problem for some mothers. A disorder akin to dysmorphophobia, based on the bodily changes resulting from pregnancy and childbirth, is common.
The available evidence regarding etiology, familiality and course of postpartum mental illness especially postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis, the two most studied disorders do not support post partum disorders as a distinct diagnostic entity. Though the exact etiology is unknown, childbirth seems to act as a specific trigger for many mental disorders in line with the stress diathesis model. As nearly the entire spectrum of mood disorders, psychotic disorders and anxiety and stress related conditions are seen in the perinatal period we propose that the specifier ‘onset within perinatal period’ should be added to all diagnoses in mood disorder, psychosis and adjustment disorder sections (ICD-10 F20-29, F30-39, F43 ).
Psychiatric disorders occurring in the postpartum period have many unique features. Chandran et al (2002) assessed 50 Indian women admitted to a psychiatric hospital for severe mental illness occurring in the postpartum period. Nearly half (43%) of the mothers reported infanticidal ideas, 36% reported infanticidal behavior, and 34% reported both infanticidal ideas and behavior. Logistic regression analyses indicated that presence of depression and psychotic ideas predicted infanticidal ideas, whereas presence of psychotic ideas toward the infant predicted infanticidal behavior.
Many mothers are excessively anxious about the health and safety of their children or they may fear the awesome responsibility of infant care. Most mothers are shielded from this by family support, but it can be a problem in isolated nuclear families. A mother with infant-focused anxiety may develop a phobia for the infant (Sved-Williams, 1992). Fear of cot death can reach pathological proportions (Weightman et al, 1999). Its main manifestation is nocturnal vigilance – the mother lying awake listening to the infant's breathing, with frequent checks that lead to exhausting sleep deprivation. As mentioned earlier, obsessions of infanticide were among the first post-partum disorders to be described (Chapman, 1959; Button, 1972) and a disorder akin to dysmorphophobia, based on the bodily changes resulting from pregnancy and childbirth is common.
Specific features of postnatal mood disorder are not acknowledged in the ICD 10 though they appear in the text of DSM IV (e.g., fluctuating course and mood lability, etc.). It is recommended that the text description of various disorders should highlight features specific to the perinatal period.
Developing a relationship with the newborn is the central and most important psychological process of the puerperium. A disturbed mother infant relationship is phenomenon distinct from depression. On one hand, mothers’ aversion to her infant is often disproportionate to depression and can occur without it; on the other hand, only a minority of depressed mothers has a relationship problem with their infants. This has led to proposals for a distinct ‘disorder of impaired mother-infant interaction’ (Brockington, 2004). Disorders of the mother-infant relationship are prominent in 10-25% of mothers referred to psychiatrists after childbirth. The etiology is probably different from post-partum depression, with more emphasis on unwanted pregnancy and challenging infant behaviour.
The main reason for the neglect of these disorders is their absence from ICD-10 and DSM-IV. In ICD-10, attachment disorders of childhood (reactive 94.1 and disinhibited 94.2) and 'Z codes' that include hostility towards the child, and scapegoating, address issues related only to the child's psychiatric state. One of the challenges for ICD-11 and DSM-V is to find a place for these disorders, so that they can be recognized by practitioners, and referred for expert treatment (Ainsworth et al, 1972; Salariya et al,1984; Hipwell & Kumar, 1996; Nagata et al, 2000; Brockington et al, 2001).
Though research in this area is lacking, the identification of this concept will sharpen the focus of studies aimed at preventing child abuse and neglect. Disorders of mother infant interaction may be included in the category F 53.

Many South Asian psychiatrists would question the relevance of diagnosing and studying personality disorders. A major reason for the lack of interest in these conditions is their apparent rarity. A meta-analysis of general population studies carried out in India puts the prevalence figure for personality disorders at 0.6 per 1000 (Reddy and Chandrashekhar 1998). Very low rates have also been reported from Sri Lanka (Wijesinghe et al 1978). However, there are several shortcomings in the surveys conducted in developing countries (de Girolamo and Reich 1993).
Since the publication of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-III) in 1980 and its creation of a separate diagnostic axis (i.e. Axis II) for personality disorders, interest in the description and classification of personality disorders has expanded dramatically in the West. Between 20% and 40% of outpatients and more than 50% of inpatients in the western psychiatric set-up are reported to have comorbid personality disorders (Tyrer et al 1991). Comorbidity studies in India also suggest that personality disorders are common. In recent Indian studies, rates as high as 37.5% in patients with bipolar disorder, 40.8% in those with major depressive disorder (Naidu et al 1998) and 25.6% in those with substance use disorder (Kishore et al 1994) have been reported.
If personality disorders were a common but benign condition, there would still be no pragmatic reason to study them. However, they lead to a disturbance in functioning as great as that in most major mental disorders (Nakao et al 1992). Personality disorders are associated with high rates of separation and divorce; unemployment and inefficiency; and poor quality of life for the individual and his/her family. Patients with personality' disorders have an increased risk of mortality through suicide, homicide and accidents. Also, when a personality disorder is present, treatment of other coexisting psychiatric or medical conditions is frequently more complicated, lengthier, or less successful; a pattern that may at times be due to lack of recognition of the personality disorder (Oldham 1994).
The ICD-10 and DSM-IV are different but overlapping classification systems. Both have adopted polythetic diagnosis criterion a polythetic approach as against a monothetic approach. There are some differences in the nomenclatures such as anankastic in ICD-10 is obsessive-compulsive in DSM-IV, anxious in ICD-10 is avoidant in DSM-IV, and dissocial in ICD-10 is antisocial in DSM-IV. In ICD-10, borderline and impulsive personality disorders are viewed as subtypes of emotionally unstable personality disorder. In ICD-10, schizotypal disorder is considered to be an attenuated manifestation of schizophrenia and is categorized with the psychotic disorders; narcissistic, depressive and passive aggressive personality disorders do not find a mention.
There are also several marked differences in the criteria of the two systems and some minor variation in wording. The ICD-10 form of paranoid personality disorder includes excessive self-importance and self-reference as criteria, while in DSM-IV excessive self-importance forms a central part of narcissistic personality disorders. DSM-IV's schizoid personality disorder omits preoccupation with fantasy and introspection as criteria, though these are required in ICD-10.On the other hand, DSM-IV's antisocial personality disorder requires features of childhood conduct disorder, and emphasizes on law-breaking and criminal acts, while ICD-10's dissocial personality disorder does not mention childhood conduct symptoms in its set of criteria and is more concerned with generic concepts such as lack of empathy, inability to profit from experience and inability to maintain enduring relationships. In general, ICD-10 maintains a division between personality and mental state less clearly; for example, allowing the inclusion of persistent feelings of anxiety as a criterion in anxious personality disorder, and of obsessions in anankastic personality disorder.
ICD-10 requires the presence of three of the seven criteria to make a diagnosis (except for emotionally unstable personality disorder), while DSM-IV requires four or five from a list that varies from seven to nine (with the exception of antisocial personality disorder) (Sara et al 1996).
Current classification systems employ a categorical model for classifying personality disorders. However, there is considerable overlap among personality disorders. The dimensional model of classification has been proposed as a means to overcome these problems, as it can provide flexible, comprehensive and reliable information on subjects. However, much of the external validity research that is available currently has been conducted using categorical concepts, even though data on dimensional conceptualization of personality disorders is fast accumulating. Data support sometimes categorical, sometimes dimensional and sometimes both types of concepts.
Epidemiology: The prevalence of personality disorders defined in categorical terms range from 10.3% to 13.5% in community samples when assessment instruments specific to these disorders are used. The rate varied with age, with some decrease in older age groups. Urban populations and lower socioeconomic groups showed higher rates. The sex ratio was different for specific types of personality disorders, though the overall rate of prevalence was roughly equal for the two sexes (Reich and de Girolamo 1997). Prevalence rates of personality disorders may be lower in developing countries but methodological shortcomings in surveys done in these countries preclude direct comparisons. In the International Pilot Study of Personality Disorders (IPSPD), the following personality disorders were frequently diagnosed in a clinical sample at Bangalore (India): schizotypal (19.1 %) and borderline (14.7%) according to the DSM-III-R system; and emotionally unstable (8.6%) according to the ICD-I0 system (Loranger et al1997).
Reliability: The overlap between personality disorders defined in categorical terms is a reason forthe modest reliability seen in diagnosis, when different categorical conceptualizations of the same personality disorder (Hirshfield and Holzer 1994), different diagnostic systems (Sara et al 1996), or even different instruments operationalizing the same diagnostic system (Zimmerman 1994) are used.
Face validity: The face validity of the criteria sets for categorical definitions is low forboth the DSM-IIIR (Blashfield and Breen 1989) and ICD10 (Blashfield 1990) personality disorders.
Biological studies: There is some genetic support to categorical conceptualization of cluster A personality disorders, which are seen as existing in a genetic spectrum with psychotic disorders (Siever 1994, Siever, 2005). Antisocial personality disorder also appears to be heritable (Cadoret et al1995), but the specificity of a familial/genetic relationship of other personality disorders is suspect (Reich 1989; Torgersen 1994). On the other hand, Livesley and coworkers (Livesley et al 1992; Livesley 2005) demonstrated that 15 of the 18 personality disorder dimensions thought to underlie the DSM-III-R personality disorders had heritability in the range of 30%-60%. The results were similar to those reported for normal personalities and suggested a continuity between the normal and disordered personality.
Neuroimaging studies have provided some evidence for categorically defined personality disorders, e.g. increased ventricular-to-brain ratio and inefficient prefrontal cerebral processing in schizotypal subjects (Siever 1994). Positron emission tomography (PET) studies have also demonstrated some abnormalities in patients with antisocial personality disorder and metabolite borderline personality disorder (Doaln 1994; De la Fuente et al 1998; Pidimore et al 2005; Schmahl and Bremner 2006).
Neurochemical studies on the other hand have mainly provided evidence for dimensional conceptualization of personality features. E.g. schizotypal patients who display features of the deficit dimension have low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of the dopamine metabolite homovanillic acid (HVA) and those who have features of psychotic dimension have high CSF HVA levels (Siever 1994). In patients with duster B personality disorders (antisocial and borderline), 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA) (a metabolite of serotonin) levels in the CSF and parameters of 5-HT (serotonin) functioning have been found to be inversely related to dimensions of impulsive aggression and negative affect. Also, platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) levels are inversely related to dimensions of sensation-seeking and impulsivity (Dolan 1994; Coccarro et al 1997; Lara and Akiskal 2006, Lyons-Ruth et al, 2007).
Electrophysiological studies provide some evidence for categorically defined concepts. Abnormalities in relation to eye-movement and information processing have been reported to occur in patients with schizotypal personality disorder (Cadenhead et al 1993; Siever 1994; Evans et al 2007). Patients with borderline personality disorder have a decreased latency and increased density of rapid eye movements (REM) during sleep EEG recording. Some studies have also reported eye movement dysfunction and auditory evoked potential abnormalities in these patients (Lahmeyer et al1989; De la Fuente et al 1998; Boutros et al 2003; Howard and McCullagh, 2007). Evoked potential studies done under distraction conditions in patients with antisocial personality disorder reveal abnormalities in the P300 wave, suggesting deficits in information processing.
Treatment Studies: These studies have largely supported dimensional concepts. In general, pharmacotherapy aims at the correction of target symptoms such as aggression and behavioural dyscontrol, anxiety and mood dysregulation, and psychotic symptoms (including cognitive distortions) (Stein 1992; Cloninger et al 1997; Mohan 2002; Lara and Akiskal 2006). The limited data available on analytic psychotherapy (Bateman and Fonagy 1999) also do not support a diagnosis-based approach However, some data on other forms of psychotherapy have shown promise for specific categories of personality disorders, e.g. cognitive-behavioural therapy in avoidant personality disorder (Alden 1989) and dialectical behaviour therapy for borderline personality disorder (Linehan et al 1991).
Course and outcome: The literature regarding the long-term outcome of personality disorders is sparse (Skodol et al 2007). Most attention has been paid to formerly institutionalized patients with borderline, antisocial and schizotypal personality disorders. Borderline patients at 10-25 years follow up have a wide range of outcomes, from clinical recovery (50%-60%) to suicide (3%-9%). Suicide is particularly common in patients who have co-morbid depression or a history of substance abuse. If psychopathic traits are prominent, the long-term outcome in antisocial persons is bleak, though a substantial proportion of persons who exhibit a pattern of antisocial behaviour alone, recovers by the fourthdecade of life (Stone 1993). Schizotypal patients tend to remain isolated and lead marginal lives.
Boundary problems: within categorically defined personality disorders: Even though moderate internal consistency may exist forDSM-IIIR criteria sets of individual personality disorders, the correlation with other personality disorders is fairly high (Nunberger et al 1994; Widiger 2003). Consequently, there is a high rate of comorbidity (1.3 to 6.0) between personality disorders (Dolan et al 1995). Studies using multivariate statistical techniques have found that dimensions derived empirically bear a resemblance to some DSM-IIIR diagnoses but the correspondence between them is not close. In general, these studies have partially supported the cluster concept of the DSM system, with usually four superordinate factors corresponding to clusters I, II, III and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder emerging across many but not all studies (Hyler and Lyons 1988; Schroeder and Livesley 1991; Mulder and Joyce 1997; Skodol et al, 2007). The current classification systems have been criticized for either making over-refined descriptive distinctions, or forwrongly conceptualizing personality disorders as categories when they might be more properly described as trait dimensions.
Boundary problems: between personality disorders (Axis II) and symptom (state) disorders (Axis I): Although the distinction between Axes I and II disorders is valuable from the clinical point of view, the differentiation between the two sets of disorders is often problematic and at times even illusory. Particular problems exist in relation to differentiation between schizotypal personality disorder and schizophrenia spectrum disorders; borderline personality disorder and mood disorders; antisocial personality disorder and substance use disorders; and avoidant personality disorder and social phobia (Widiger and Shea 1991).
Boundary problems: between normal personality and personality disorder: Supporters of dimensional approach view personality disorders as extremes of temperamental traits found in the normal population (Schroeder and Livesley 1991; Costa and Widiger 1994; Paris 1997). The main reservations against this approach have been that (i) it has not been shown whether the three to five major dimensions found to describe normal personality (Digman 1990) also continuously underlie personality disorders; and (ii) some of the symptoms of personality disorders e.g. suicidal behaviour, self-mutilation do not have normative personality counterparts (Lenzwenger and Clarkin 1996). However, Livesley et al. (1992) showed that trait dimensions of personality disorders underlying DSM-III-R personality disorders in patient and general population samples are continuously distributed. They also demonstrated considerable similarity between the second-order factors (four) of personality pathology traits and four of the 'big five' factors of normal personality (Schroeder and Livesley 1991).
Authors who have used dimensional scaling techniques (Widiger et al 1987; Schroeder and Livesley 1991; Livesley et al 1992) and some who have carried out biological investigations in the area of personality disorders (Livesley et al 1993; Coccarro et al 1997) feel that the dimensional model fits the data on personality pathology in a better way. However, there are problems with this approach. It is not clear how personality pathology is actually organized at the latent level. The limited empirical evidence available suggests that schizotypy (Lenzwenger and Korfine 1992), borderline pathology (Trull et al 1990) and psychopathy (Harris et al 1994) may be organized as categories at the latent level. Further, biologists such as Kagan et al. (1987) and Magnusson (1986) noted that at least some personality traits may be dealt with in terms of physiobehavioural composites that are qualitatively distinct (categorical) rather than continuous (dimensional). In defence of the dimensional model, it may be said that the categorical criteria sets of schizotypal, borderline and antisocial personality disorders have been criticized for being saturated with items conveying the presence of symptomatic acts rather than personality traits (Stone 1993). Thus, they may have been more liable to show discreteness. The matter has not been adequately explored up to now for exclusive reliance on one or the other type of concepts.
Apart from the categories of personality disorders, ICD 11 should provide for agreed upon dimensions of personality and personality disorders. Evidence based candidates may be:
Dimensional models of personality:
Dimensional models of PDs:
Livesley and Jackson (1992) suggest ways to improve the classification of personality disorders by changing the way the classification is developed, evaluated, and modified so that it successively approximates a valid system. They argue that the first step in developing a classification is to ensure the content validity of diagnostic concepts because this is a prerequisite for other components of validity. Using trait and behavioural exemplars together in personality disorder criterion is a way to improve the content validity of personality disorders as it helps in tying the criterion to the concept and structure of the personality disorder, and in clarifying the nature of diagnostic items and the model for organizing diagnostic decisions. An example of using trait and behavioural exemplars together is given below:
Gross and persistent attitude of irresponsibility and disregard for social norms, rules and obligations, e.g. leaving a child less than 3 years of age alone at home for an hour to go and buy alcohol, dring at high speed around a blind corner, takes bribes, etc.
Specification of trait and behaviour exemplars would reduce the discrepancy between DSM-IV's antisocial personality disorder, which emphasizes law-breaking and criminal acts; and ICD-10's dissocial personality disorder, which is more concerned with generic concepts such as lack of empathy, inability to profit from experience and inability to maintain enduring relationships.
Defining the trait underlying the behaviour will also clarify the differentiation between Axis I and Axis II disorders. The differentiation between Axes I and II disorders parallels to some extent the distinction between personality traits and emotional states. Neuroticism, for example, involves the disposition to experience negative affects (McCrae and Costa 1990), and a correlation with mood states supports rather than questions its validity (Watson and Clark 1984). States and traits may best be conceptualized under prototypal concepts that provide meaningful distinction, but merge into each other at the boundaries (coaxial syndrome). It is useful to retain the differentiation because it has been shown that states affect personality domains differently, with relatively large parts of personality and behaviour (e.g. novelty-seeking, reward dependence) remaining unaffected by current states such as anxiety or depression (Svrakic et al 1992). Efforts to increase the distinction between state and trait disorders by adding or deleting existing criteria might change the meaning of the construct under study, e.g. borderline personality disorder would not remain the same if affective instability were to be removed from its description (Widiger and Shea 1991). On the other hand, defining the trait features consistently will improve reliability without compromising on validity.
The International Pilot Study for Personality Disorders (IPSPD) (Loranger et al 1997) demonstrated that personality disorders, as presently defined, could be identified at all sites (multinational, multilingual, multicultural). Similarly, cross-national studies suggest that the Three Factor Model of Eysenck (Eysenck 1982) and Five Factor Model (Costa and Widiger 1994) were invariant across cultures. However, these studies do not confirm the cross-cultural validity or usefulness of western diagnostic categories or personality dimensions, as they may have identified ethnic artefacts rather then culturally meaningful configurations (Lewis-Fernandez and Kleinman 1994). The five factors that emerged on the use of a lexicon of Chinese trait descriptors were different from the factors extracted from the Chinese translation of English words from an established five-factor questionnaire (Yang and Bond 1990). It has been hypothesized that culture can influence: the genetic selection of specific temperamental characteristics in highly inbred groups, learning inside and outside the family, the threshold when personality vulnerability cannot be compensated by the person, and the social threshold when such decompensations are labeled pathological (Neki 1970; Paris 1997).
From a cultural constructionist perspective, personality disorders are based on Anglo-American concepts of personhood and codes of appropriate bahaviour and owe their existence to the medicalization of disvalued social behaviour. Anxious (avoidant) and dependent personality disorders were excluded from the Chinese classificatory system because of the apparent rarity of these disorders and because it was felt that some of the defining features (e.g. subordination of one’s own needs to those of others on whom one is dependent) were normative in the Chinese culture which defines personhood not by autonomy and assertiveness but by intergenerational interdependence and self-effacement (Mezzich et al 2000).
In a similar way histrionic and dependent personality disorder may not be very useful in the Indian context. An observation of 290 cases (two thirds randomly selected and one third selected because of evidence of personality pathology) in a North-Western Indian clinical sample drawn from a general hospital setting (Sharan 2001) revealed only two case of histrionic personality disorder (0.7%) and 1 case of dependent personality disorder (0.3%). These disorders were not reported in the Bangalore centre (sample drawn from mental hospital setting) of the IPSPD also (Loranger et al1997). Histrionic behaviour may not be reported (histrionic personality disorder dimension had a moderately negative correlation with the lie/social desirability scale) or may be suppressed due to social disapproval, while dependent behaviour may be culturally normative. Specific problems with the criteria sets found in the Indian context were:
Dependent PD (DPD)
Histrionic PD (HPD)
ICD-10 requires the presence of three of the seven criteria to make a diagnosis (except for emotionally unstable personality disorder), while DSM-IV requires four or five from a list that varies from seven to nine (with the exception of antisocial personality disorder) (Sara et al1996). Livesley et al (1987) developed reliable scales to assess more than 50 traits thought to underlie each of the DSM III personality disorders.
The larger number of traits for each personality disorder would improve content coverage for personality disorders ensuring that they are not too narrowly defined. This expansion would also make it possible to include more culture-specific traits in the criterion set without reducing the possibility of making the diagnosis cross-culturally - with the help of other (less culture-specific) criteria.
ICD-10 requires the presence of three of the seven criteria to make a diagnosis for all personality disorders, except for emotionally unstable PD – impulsive type, in which only 2 of 5 criteria suffice. Three criteria of this disorder have overlapping behavioural referrants, hence the diagnosis can be made very easily. This is reflected in Indian studies. Emotionally unstable PD – impulsive type was the commonest diagnosis in an enriched clinical sample (two thirds randomly selected, one third selected for personality pathology) from Chandiagrh (4.1% definite diagnosis, 6.6% probable diagnosis) (Sharan, 2001); and also in the Bangalore sample of the IPSPD (4.3%) (Loranger et al 1997). However, clinicians rarely use the diagnosis owing perhaps to the unfamiliarity of the concept or because they think that it is only a part syndrome (Sharan, 2001).
Specification of mixed PD does not mention the number criteria required and the number of types of PD from which these criteria should be selected. Further, the mixed category may have no added advantage in a situation where all personality disorders have a lot of overlap and comorbid diagnosis is the norm.
No substantial empirical data have accrued to substantiate the validity of the following entities:
Hence, giving them a status above better established entities like narcissistic personality disorder appears anomalous.
Sharan (2001) found unexpectedly large (>0.4) correlation between the dimensional scores of ICD 10 paranoid and dissocial and emotionally unstable personality disorders. This is reflected in clinical experience (Sharan, paper submitted for publication) where a constellation of traits which can be tentatively termed as controlling/dominating personality disorder, present often for treatment. They seem to share features of emotionally unstable, paranoid (with narcissistic elements) and anankastic personality disorders. Studies of normal personality dimensions carried out in eastern cultures have noted rotational differences in structure, e.g. rotation of extraversion and agreeableness axes towards dominance and affiliation (Kagitbak et al 1996). Kagitbak et al (1996) feel that cultural nuances like an emphasis on smooth interpersonal relationships in Asia may be responsible for this shift of axes. It is understandable that conflicted dominance may show up (be labelled as) a personality disorder in cultures that emphasize subservience to hierarchy. In a similar way, while anxious (avoidant) personality was excluded from the Chinese classificatory system, Shinkeisitsu and Tajin Kyoufu (avoiding/rejecting due to interpersonal sensitivity) personality were described in Japan (Ono et al 1996). Shinkeisitsu and Tajin Kyoufu may reflect conflicts along the dimension of affiliation.
Controlling/dominating personality disorder and Tajin Kyoufu have parallels in the Structural Analysis of Social Behaviour (SASB) model (Benjamin 1996) where interpersonal behaviours as conceptualized as constituted by inputs from two primary dimensions - interdependence (dominance/submission versus independence) and affiliation (aggression versus sexuality).
Kernberg (1996) regards affects to be instinctive components of human behavior that emerge in the earliest stages of development and are gradually organized as part of early object relations into gratifying, rewarding, pleasurable affects or libido as an overarching drive, and into painful, aversive, negative affects which are organized into aggression as an overarching drive. Rage represents the basic affect of aggression as a drive, and its vicissitudes explain the origins of hatred and envy, as well as of anger and irritability as moods. He suggests that the earliest function of rage is the effort to eliminate a source of irritation or pain. A second function of rage is to eliminate an obstacle or barrier toward gratification. The third, developmentally a higher level function of rage is the elimination of a bad object that is intra psychically perceived as a willful source of frustration standing between the self and the gratification of a need. At a more advanced level, the wish is no longer to destroy the bad object, but to make it suffer. At a further level of development, the wish to make the bad object suffer shifts into the wish to dominate and control the bad object in order to avoid fears of persecution from it; as obsessive mechanisms attempt to regulate the suppression or repression of aggression. Finally, the original self-affirmative implications of rage may be seen in sublimatory aspects of the aggressive response in the search for autonomy and self-affirmation, and for freedom from external control. We feel that the controlling/dominating personality disorder person probably operates at the level where the wish to make the bad object suffer shifts into the wish to dominate and control the bad object as obsessive mechanisms attempt to regulate the suppression or repression of aggression but often fail to do so.

The diagnostic criteria for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) followed by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM – IV) should be incorporated as it is in the ICD 11 edition. Thus, the criteria should be as follows:
I. Either A or B:
A.Six or more of the following symptoms of inattention have been present for at least 6 months to a point that is disruptive and inappropriate for the developmental level:
Often does not follow instructions and fails to finish schoolwork, chores, or duties in the workplace (not due to oppositional behavior or failure to understand instructions).
Often avoids, dislikes, or doesn't want to do things that take a lot of mental effort for a long period of time (such as schoolwork or homework).
Often loses things needed for tasks and activities (e.g. toys, school assignments, pencils, books, or tools).
B.Six or more of the following symptoms of hyperactivity-impulsivity have been present for at least 6 months to an extent that is disruptive and inappropriate for developmental level:
The following categories for hyperkinetic disorder should be used in ICD 11.
Suggested criteria:
Evidence for the Proposed Changes
The current diagnostic criteria for hyperkinetic disorder in the ICD 10 differ from the diagnostic criteria incorporated in DSM IV in the following ways:
§ ICD 10 has divided the symptoms of hyperkinetic disorder into 3 main clusters – inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity; DSM IV, on the other hand, has combined the hyperactivity and impulsivity clusters.
§ ICD 10 requires that the child should meet the criteria in more than one situation, whereas DSM IV requires the child has impairment in more than one situation (rather than meeting the entire criteria in more than one situation).
For ADHD/ hyperkinetic disorder, DSM IV criteria are better researched, while ICD 10 descriptions are used more often in clinics. Consequently, much of the published articles work relate to DSM IV criteria of ADHD.
Epidemiological studies: Malhi and Singhi (2000) reported that 8.1% of a consecutive sample of 245 children referred for evaluation to the Psychology outpatient services of the Department of Pediatrics of a tertiary care teaching hospital had ADHD. In a similar study, Mukhopadhyay et al (2003) found that 15.5% of children presenting to a child guidance clinic in a pediatric hospital over a one year period had ADHD. These studies demonstrated the utility of the ADHD diagnosis and the ease of applicability of DSM IV criteria in the Indian pediatric population.
Phenomenology: A factor analysis of symptoms of the disorder showed that a two-factor model had the best fit to the data – inattention and hyperactivity/ impulsivity (Hudziak et al, 1998). This supports the DSM IV proposal of two subtypes of ADHD rather than the three subtypes proposed by ICD 10. Studies have shown that while ADHD is a broad, heterogeneous category, the subgroup of children diagnosed as hyperkinetic disorder (the subtype in ICD 10) fit in the severe ADHD combined subtype of DSM IV criteria (El-Sayed et al, 2003).
Course and prognosis: A study that compared the predictive validity of ADHD according to ICD 10 and DSM IV criteria (Lahey et al. 2006) concluded that while both ICD-10 hyperkinetic disorder and DSM-IV ADHD exhibit predictive validity over 6 years, ICD-10 hyperkinetic disorder appears to under-identify children with persistent ADHD symptoms and related impairment. Children who met criteria for DSM-IV ADHD but not hyperkinetic disorder exhibited at least as much functional impairment over time as hyperkinetic children. A review by El-Sayed et al (2003) concluded that children showing symptoms above the threshold for a diagnosis of ADHD according to DSM IV are at risk of developing co morbid conditions and increasing stress in both parents and teachers. Theses reports suggest that children with features of ADHD, who cannot be diagnosed by ICD 10, but receive such a diagnosis according to DSM IV criteria need to be identified and managed appropriately.
The hyperkinetic disorder (ADHD) in ICD 10 and DSM IV is currently sub classified as follows (Table 1):
ICD 10 | DSM IV |
---|---|
F90.0 Disturbance of activity and attention | 314.01 ADHD, combined type (ADHD-C) 314.02 ADHD, predominantly inattention type (ADHD-I) 314.03 ADHD, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type (ADHD-HI) |
F98.8 Inclusion term in other specified behavioral and emotional disorders | |
--- | |
F90.1 Hyperkinetic conduct disorder | --- |
F90.8 Other hyperkinetic disorder | --- |
F90.9 Hyperkinetic disorder, unspecified | ADHD NOS |
ICD: International Classification of Disease; DSM: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual
ADHD: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
The authors propose the following categories to be used for hyperkinetic disorder/ADHD in ICD 11:
Epidemiological studies: Studies using the DSM IV criteria show that ADHD – inattentive subtype is the most common one followed by ADHD – combined subtype (2nd most common) and ADHD – hyperactive impulsive subtype (Graetz et al, 2001; Ford et al, 2003). The study by Malhi and Singhi (2000) confirmed that all the 3 subtypes of ADHD (according to DSM IV criteria) were common in India – 50% of the children had hyperactive-impulsive subtype, 35% had the inattentive subtype and 15% had the combined subtype.
Sociodemographic profile: Studies have shown that ADHD-hyperactive impulsive subtype is more frequent in the younger age group as compared to the ADHD-inattention subtype (Nolan et al. 1999, Malhi and Singhi, 2000). It also has been seen that ADHD-inattention subtype is more common among females than males (Biederman et al. 2002).
Comorbidity: Studies have shown differences in the comorbidity between the three subtypes of ADHD. Thus, higher rates of anxiety and depression were seen in those with ADHD-combined subtype and ADHD-inattention subtype compared to those with ADHD-hyperactive impulsive subtype (MTA Cooperative Group, 1999). One study has found higher rates of bipolar disorder and tic disorder in those with ADHD-combined subtype (Faraone et al, 1998). Oppositional defiant and conduct disorders are most commonly seen in children with ADHD-combined subtype, followed by ADHD-hyperactive impulsive and ADHD-inattention subtypes (Morgan et al, 1996). An Indian study (Malhi and Singhi, 2000) found differences between the 3 subtypes with respect to intelligence, academic difficulties, relationship with peers and behavioral problems.
Family studies: Though some studies have shown increased rates of a particular subtype in the relatives of the affected children (Faraone et al. 2000), other studies have not found such increased rates (Smalley et al, 2000). Thus the family studies have been inconclusive.
Treatment response: Studies on differential stimulant treatment response among various subtypes of hyperkinetic disorder/ADHD are not available as most of the trials have only recruited children with combined ADHD (MTA Cooperative Group, 1999). Studies that have employed other subtypes, have not reported treatment response separately (Kratochvil et al, 2002).
Course and prognosis: The degree and type of impairment have been shown to be different among different subtypes of ADHD. Lahey et al (2006) have shown that ADHD-combined and ADHD-hyperactive impulsive subtypes have greater impairment than ADHD-inattention subtype. It is also seen that ADHD-inattention subtype is associated with more academic problems, whereas ADHD-hyperactive impulsive subtype is associated with more social and behavioral problems (Gadow et al, 2000; Graetz et al, 2001).
Thus, studies have shown that there are several differences between the subtypes of ADHD, thereby making it important to recognize these subtypes.
Co-occurrence: While most children who meet the criteria for conduct disorder also meet the criteria for ADHD; only about one third of adolescents with conduct disorder meet the criteria for ADHD (Reeves et al, 1987; Szatmari et al, 1989).
Impairment: In terms of academic achievement, children with combined ADHD/conduct disorder have higher rates of reading disorders than ADHD and controls (McGee et al, 1984). Children with combined ADHD/conduct disorder were found to be more impaired in verbal skill, visual motor integration and visuospatial skills as compared to children with ADHD and controls (Moffitt and Silva, 1988). An Indian study (Malhotra et al, 1999) compared hyperkinetic conduct disorder (HCD) with conduct disorder and found that the HCD children had lower intelligence, more perinatal complications and delayed milestones.
Family history: Biederman et al (1992) examined the rates of psychiatric diagnosis among relatives of a large sample of ADHD and ADHD/conduct disorder. While the rates of ADHD was the same in both group of relatives, conduct disorder was more common among relatives of combined ADHD/conduct disorder than among ADHD disorder alone. Furthermore, relatives with conduct disorder also tended to have ADHD. This means that the two disorders co-segregated, indicating that ADHD/conduct disorder is a distinct familial subtype.
Course and prognosis: Studies have shown differences in the long term outcomes of both subgroups of children. The ADHD/conduct disorder subgroup showed more antisocial and defiant behaviors (August et al, 1983). Also this group showed a higher rate of substance use. Studies have also concluded that while ADHD itself conveys some risk for adult antisocial behavior, the combined ADHD/conduct disorder group had sharp rise in the risk of adult antisocial personality and criminal conviction (Mannuzza et al, 1989). The Indian study (Malhotra et al, 1999) that compared hyperkinetic conduct disorder (HCD) with conduct disorder also found that the HCD group had an younger age of onset, more gradual development of conduct symptoms and a longer duration of conduct symptoms.
Treatment response: Studies do not show any difference in the response to stimulant treatment between the ADHD/conduct disorder and ADHD group alone (Klonman et al, 1989).
Available evidence suggests that there is a need to have a separate diagnostic subgroup of hyperkinetic disorder.
The group of F70 – F79 consists of mental retardation, which includes the mild, moderate and severe types. Most of the intelligence tests used have a separate category for borderline intelligence. The DSM IV, too, places borderline intelligence in the group of ‘additional conditions that may be a focus of clinical attention’.
Borderline intellectual functioning, has received little attention to date. However, some studies on prevalence of this condition show that it is present in up to 7%–18% of the population (Hassiotis et al, 1999; Ninivaggi, 2001).
In a study by Chen et al (2006), it was seen that children with subaverage cognitive abilities were more likely to develop mental health problems than their counterparts with IQs above 80 in later life. Another study by Hassiotis et al (1999) which have also shown that those with comorbid borderline intelligence and psychotic illness had greater disability and were more likely to suffer extrapyramidal side-effects and show evidence of negative symptoms than those with psychotic illness with normal intelligence. This may lead to difficulties in other domains of adaptive functioning. Thus, studies have shown that individuals with borderline intelligence may require a separate category.
Hence, borderline intelligence should be included in the ‘Z’ category to provide recognition to this condition in the international classificatory system.

ECT (Modified) | Monday & Friday |
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) | Monday to Friday |
What is rTMS?
On the basis of recent research we all know that there is neurobiological process involved in our emotion, memory and behavior. Transcranial Magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) is a technique for gently modulating the brain cells. It utilizes a specialized electromagnet that generates brief magnetic pulses, roughly up to the strength of an MRI scanner’s magnetic field but much more focused. The magnetic pulses pass easily through the skull just like the MRI scanner but because they are short pulses and not a static field, they can modulate the underlying cerebral cortex. It has also been shown that these changes may last for long period of time after stimulation is stopped leading to therapeutic effect.
What disorders has rTMS been shown to be useful for?
TMS is currently a potential treatment for patients with Depression, patients who experience hallucinatory "voices" and a variety of other Psychiatric and Neurological disorders. For patients with Depression, many research studies have shown clinical improvement following rTMS.
For patients reporting auditory hallucinations (voices), research has not been as extensive but initial results have been promising and suggest that low frequency TMS administered to parts of the brain underlying speech perception may reduce these voices.
The Food and Drug Administration (USA) has approved rTMS for Depressive disorder just 3 months back. TMS has been approved in Canada and Israel as a treatment of Depression for patients who have not responded to medications.
What happens in rTMS treatment?
rTMS is an outpatient procedure and does not require anesthesia or sedation. Few patients may experience discomfort at the site of stimulation for short time. Generally rTMS produces a slight tapping sensation on the scalp. When administered at selected stimulation sites it can cause little contraction of the muscles of the scalp. Mild headache and transient lightheadedness may sometimes result from rTMS. These symptoms usually resolve by themselves shortly after the treatment is over.
rTMS Treatment Lab in AIIMS
How long treatment session/course last?
It depends on the treatment/research protocol, but generally each session takes about 20 minutes. Treatment protocols vary in duration, but most require at approximately 10-15 sessions given five times per week.
Are there any risks associated with rTMS?
The brain is directly stimulated by rTMS. However studies reported so far, no loss of memory, impaired concentration and other cognitive impairment. This is in contrast to the well known cognitive side effects associated with Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)
The main risk of rTMS is rare induction of seizure. However with proper safety guidelines chances of seizures are negligible. For stimulation at low frequency no seizures have been reported.
Why there is interest in rTMS?

The Department of Psychiatry has been a pioneer in providing mental health services in a General Hospital Setting. The department runs regular out-patient walk-in and follow-up clinics in addition to weekly specialty clinics for child and adolescent psychiatric disorders, psychosomatic disorders, common mental disorders, severe mental disorders, dual diagnosis disorders and brain stimulationtherapies. Consultation liaison services are provided for the patients admitted in other wards of the hospital andemergency psychiatric services are provided on a round-the-clock. The department also provides community outreach services 6 days a week at the CRHSP, Ballabgarh, including one day each at the Primary Health Centre at Dayalpur and Chhainsa. Besides pharmacotherapeutic interventions, psychological treatments, modified electro convulsive therapy (MECT) and advanced treatments like rTMS, tDCS and biofeedback are routinely provided. During the year 2017-18, the department provided out-patient consultation services to a total of 17, 204 new cases and 66, 333 follow up cases and in-patient management to 282 patients.
The department is at the forefront of medical education with courses for MBBS, B.Sc/M.Sc nursing, MD (Psychiatry) and PhD (Clinical Psychology) scholars. The departmentalso conducts short term training courses of residents posted from other departments (Medicine, Geriatric Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Palliative Medicine, and DM Neurology). For MBBS students, teaching includes theory lectures of 20 hours (6th semester) and clinical training of 7 hours (3rd semester), 25 days (4th-5th semester) and 40 days (in 6th/8th semester).The department undertakes regular collaborative research with national and international agencies like World Health Organization (WHO), University of California, National Institute of Health Research (UK), ICMR, and is one of the leading partners for research regarding the development of psychiatric classificatory system (ICD-11) by WHO. The department organizes year round public educational events for public dissemination of research knowledge and to promote awareness of mental health issues.
Currently primary mandate of the department is to develop highly trained manpower, and formulate curriculum and techniques for undergraduate and postgraduate medical education. Exploration of general mental health morbidity, culturally appropriate treatment of mental disordersand epidemiology of substance abuse remains the main research focus of the department.
History of the Department:
The Department of Psychiatry had informal beginning in 1958, when DrLuvia Taylor Gregg, Honorary Consultant in Psychiatry, began formal teaching in psychiatry for the first batch of MBBS students. Dr Gregg planned to introduce 100 hours of teaching in psychiatry in MBBS curriculum. Prof KL Wig, the then Head, Department of Medicine (later Director, AIIMS) was instrumental in integrating teaching of psychiatry throughout the clinical posting in medicine, so that the exposure to psychiatry was spread to all the 3 years on weekly basis. Since there was no inpatient unit in psychiatry, MBBS students were sent to the Mental Hospital, Agra for exposure to inpatients in psychiatry. DrVimlaVirmani, who later headed the Department of Neurology, had worked as clinical tutor in the initial years of the Department history.Dr SC Malik, one of the earliest post graduate pass out from AIIMS, wrote in one of his memoirs, “we had about 80-100 hours' exposure in psychiatry at the under-graduate level. Psychiatry at that time was (mostly) ‘Dynamic Psychiatry’ with highly laden emphasis on psycho-analysis and analytically oriented psychotherapy. For the undergraduates it was a very thrilling experience and many of us approached Mrs. Gregg to know about ourselves - our hidden complexes etc. Our exposure to psychiatry was spread to all the 3 years on a weekly basis”
Dr AS Mahal joined as Assistant Professor in 1962 and Dr D Satyanand as Professor and Head in Aug 1963. DrSatyanand started regular MD Psychiatry programme in psychiatry, the first in the country. Post graduate psychiatry in general hospital setting provided the groundworks for de-stigmatizing psychiatry and in moving mental disorders outside the custodial boundaries of mental asylums, within the community. The MD course also fostered integration as medical residents could now opt for Psychiatry as their specialization in general hospital settings.
Anothermilestone contribution of the department was the development of rural mental health services, through the Indian council of Medical research funded mental health project at the Comprehensive Rural Health Services Project (CRHSP), Ballabhgarh during 1964, under the leadership of DrD Satyanand. The integration of Psychiatry training in rural undergraduate medical curriculum is a continuing legacy of this project. The department continues to provide regular care at its rural centres to fulfill its obligation towards development of rural and community psychiatry.
Another first achieved by the department of psychiatry, under leadership of DrSatyanand, was the beginning of Child Guidance Clinic in Delhi in 1964. From seeing only cases of mental retardation and hyperkinetic disorders initially, this clinic, now caters to a wide variety of psychiatric disorders and behavioral issues of children.
The first batch of successful psychiatrists completed their training at AIIMS in 1964 and DrSatyanand retired in late 1966. During 1967-1968, Dr Erna Hoch, a Swiss psychiatrist, who had migrated to India, headed the Department as Honorary Professor and Head for about one and half year.From 1969-1980, she was medical director and professor of psychiatry in the only psychiatric hospital in the province of Cashmere (Kashmir). In 1988, Erna Hoch returned to Switzerland to live in the Tessin. Her famous book “Sources and Resources” represents a collections of articles written while in India propounding on the cultural influence of mental ailments and their treatment.
Prof JS Neki, who joined the department in September 1968 as Professor and Head, introduced the concept of ‘Guru-Chela’ paradigm in the practice of psychotherapy with due consideration to Indian culture and context. He was also instrumental in opening doors for Psychiatry in other departments. Due to his efforts, posts for psychologists were created in the department of Pediatrics and Neurosciences.
Prof N N Wig (Picture courtesy: Shubh Singhvia Flikr) and Prof Rajat Ray
In 1980, Prof NN Wig joined the department. He was part of the expert group formed for preparing draft of National Mental Health Programme (NMHP), which was completed in 1982. Prof Wig also strengthened the relationship of psychiatry with neurosciences in 1984, by holding the first faculty position in Neuropsychiatry at AIIMS.
The de-addiction services started in AIIMS outpatient department in 1976.Prof D Mohan, then Head of the Department, and an AIIMS alumnus, persistently endeavored to minimize the gross imbalancebetween the resources required to meet the increasing needs for de-addiction services and those available. Thus was formed the De-Addiction Centre (DAC), initially functional from premises of DeenDayalUpadhyay Hospital. The DAC subsequently evolved to become National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre (NDDTC), a national centre and a WHO collaborating centreand became fully operational from its new premises in Ghaziabad from April 2003.
Prof R Ray, who became head of the department after the retirement of Prof D Mohan, was pioneer in carrying out the first national survey on substance use disorders under Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India, carried out from March 2000 to November 2001.
Prof SK Khandelwal, who became the head in 2013, developed the department further with multiple liaison services and creation of specialty clinics at AIIMS. His position as faculty of neuropsychiatryfurther strengthened the relation of psychiatry with neurosciences. DrKhandelwal is also credited with opening ofone of the first lithium clinic in India where free testing could be carried out for patient suffering from Bipolar Disorder. Under his leadership, various National CMEs and public lectures have been organized. In 2016 the department hosted the World Congress of Social Psychiatry under the leadership of Prof Khandelwal and Prof R K Chadda, who succeeded Prof Khandelwal as the Head of the Department and Chief of the National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre upon his retirement.

The department of Anatomy, one of the first departments to be set up, has contributed to the development of Anatomy curriculum which is implemented throughout the country by the Medical Council of India. Research and publications from this department have often been quoted in the bible of Anatomy- i.e, Gray’s Textbook of Anatomy.
The department is involved in medical teaching and training at the undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral levels and also provides services that include diagnostics in genetic disorders and fluorosis. It runs a National Centre for Electron microscopy that regularly provides training for technicians and investigators. The department is a WHO-recognized Centre for training in Human Genetics. The department is also an active collaborator and organizer of various cadaveric workshops for post-graduate training and skills training in surgical and allied disciplines.
The main thrust areas of research in the department are neurobiology, male and female infertility, auditory and visual pathways, ageing-related disorders, pain biology, addiction genetics, pre-ecclampsia, enteric nervous system, pancreatitic pathogenesis, morphometry using state-of-the-art design-based stereology, autophagy and cell death, rare and common genetic disorders, ecotoxicology, breast cancer, nanobiology and drug-delivery systems, plastination and cancer biology including rare endocrine tumours.
The department provides training opportunities and support in the fields of Anatomical sciences, Genetics and Electron Microscopy to all Indians and nationals of SAARC countries.
In view of the increasing incidents of ragging in colleges and elsewhere that reached proportions unbecoming of a civilised society the Hon’ble Supreme court admitted and heard the SLP No (s) 24295 of 2006 University of Kerala Vs Council, Principals’, Colleges, Kerala & Ors (with SLP(C) No.24296-99/2004 & W.P. (Crl) No. 173/2006 and SLP(C) No.14356/2005).
Pursuant to an order of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India dated November 27, 2006, the Ministry of Human Resource Development has constituted a Committee under the Chairmanship of Shri R.K. Raghavan (former Director, CBI) to look into the issue of ragging and suggest means of prevention of ragging in educational institutions.
The Committee primarily examined the following broad aspects of ragging:
The Committee had carried out a very detailed study with the help of voluntary organizations including CURE (Coalition for Uprooting Ragging from Education) and SPACE (Society for Peoples Action Change and Enforcement) and collected voluminous public opinion on the various factors contributing for ragging. Noted psychologists and educationists assisted the committee. The National Informatics Centre at the Ministry of Human Resources hosted a guest book in their website. Nearly eleven press releases were made during this period of evaluation and committee visited several cities in the country. A subcommittee of the Medical Council of India was also constituted for this purpose. A questionnaire was prepared that elicited over 12500 responses. In short a wide cross-section of the society provided the necessary background information, data and suggestions on tackling ragging in the country for consideration by the esteemed committee.
Subsequently the committee submitted a detailed report with suitable recommendations and measures required to effectively curb the menace. The recommendations of the Committee were duly accepted and the following directives have been issued to all the educational institutions for necessary implementation by the Hon’ble Supreme Court on 16 May 2007.
The All India Institute of Medical Sciences requests all students, parents and guardians to go through these directives and co-operate in the implementation of the directives of the Honourable Supreme Court of India. It is hoped that this will signal an end to the menace of ragging. Strict action shall be taken in accordance with the directives in case any student is found to indulge in ragging.
This web page is for the patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). This web page attempts to explain the cause of the disease, the risk factors, the effects of disease and possible treatment options. It tells about the surgery, preoperative preparation and postoperative care in hospital and at home. Lastly, an effort has been made to spread preventive awareness about the coronary artery disease. For better understanding, at the cost of technical perfection, language has been made as simple as possible.
This web page is for the patient who has a heart valve problem and who seeks treatment for the same. The web page describes in various chapters some of the fundamentals of blood circulation through the heart and the function of the valves and the effects of the disease. The web page also tells about the symptoms, tests that are used for diagnosis and after care. It tells about the surgery and postoperative care while the patient is in hospital. Finally it explains the aftercare when the patient is at home. For the purpose of better understanding, language has been made as simple as possible and efforts have been made to explain the facts in common language.
The content and character of the discipline of Biostatistics has undergone a radical change during the last few decades. From being a passive and descriptive discipline, Biostatistics has emerged as a vigorous, dynamic and constructive instrument of decision making in the area of health and medical care. Powerful and sophisticated statistical techniques of planning and analysis of biological experiments and investigations, development of probabilistic models in epidemiology and application of operations research techniques in health care delivery have opened up new dimensions and capabilities in medical and health research. In this context, a medical persons’ training, particularly that of a medical researcher, would be considered incomplete today without a reasonable acquaintance with the potentialities of applications of bio-statistical techniques to enable him/her to plan his/her research studies with scientifically and statistically valid designs and to arrive at valid and meaningful conclusions applying appropriate statistical methods.
At the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Biostatistics was a part of the then Department of Preventive and Social Medicine till 1973. In October 1973, an independent Biostatistics Unit was carved out from the Department of Preventive and Social Medicine. In 1986, the “Biostatistics Unit” was renamed as the “Department of Biostatistics” fulfilling a long felt need for such a department. As an independent department, it caters to the needs of all the faculty, scientific staff and students in the Institute in teaching and research.
The biophysics department was one of the first to be formed in a medical setup in India and continues to be at the top of India's academics and research. The academic curriculum of the department includes doctoral (Ph.D.) and postgraduate (M.Sc., M.D.) courses. The department receives extramural research funding from various government agencies like DST, DBT, ICMR, DHR, CSIR, etc. as well as intramural funding.
The department focuses on several key research areas: Protein structure and drug designing, Biomarker discovery, pathophysiology, and novel diagnostics & therapeutics of different diseases.
Protein structure-function relationships to gain detailed insights into their biological roles and use the relevant protein structures as targets for designing new drug molecules using a rational structure-based approach. The understanding of molecular and biophysical mechanisms of various pathologies utilizing cutting-edge technologies. The roles of p53 and alike key molecular pathways; electrophysiological studies in drug-resistant epilepsy; understanding the roles of exosomes in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases and cancers; and infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss are some of the key areas where the department emphasizes understanding underlying pathophysiology. The research emphasis is on finding novel diagnostics and therapeutics approaches for various pathologies e.g., Cancer, Neurological and Heart diseases, Infectious diseases, Infertility, etc. In finding novel diagnostics strategies, research work in the department focuses on Biomarker Discovery by Comparative Proteomics analysis including Multi-Omics Analyses, and Exosomes based early detection of various diseases. Also, in search of new therapeutics, foremost is Drug Discovery and Designing including specific and potent small molecules and Aptamer inhibitory molecules, Antibody-like inhibitors (Nanobodies)
The department has a state-of-the-art X-ray crystallography facility with other scientific instrumentations like SPR-based technologies for protein-protein interactions, Peptide Synthesizer, Robotic Nano Dispenser for Crystallization, AKTA Pure Chromatography System, CD Spectroscopy, Fourier transform Infrared Spectroscope with Microscope, Cellular electrophysiology facility, etc.

“We care-when you are unaware”
All-India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, was founded by an act of Parliament by Government of India in 1956, with the objective to develop patterns of training in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education in all its branches so as to demonstrate a high standard of medical education to all medical colleges and other allied institutions in India; to bring together in one place educational facilities of the highest order for the training of personnel in all important branches of health activity; and to attain self-sufficiency in postgraduate medical education. Anaesthesiology was one of the main Clinical Departments to achieve the objectives and mandate of the Institute.
The Department of Anaesthesiology started in 1956, with two operation theatres and ICU in an “Old Operation Theatre” block under the leadership of Col. G.C.Tandon (1958-1970).
In 1958, Professor (Lt. Col.) G.C. Tandon was deputed to All India Institute of Medical Sciences and he was the Founder Professor and first Head of the Department of Anaesthesiology and also as a Medical Superintendent of AIIMS Hospital. Prof. Tandon was responsible for recognition of Anaesthesiology as a broad specialty related to Medicine and start for the first time M.D. (Anaesthesiology) training programme in 1959. This pattern has been nationally accepted. His efforts led to recognition of Anaesthesiology as an independent speciality related to Medicine by Medical Council of India in 1959, leading to creation of independent Departments and Professorships in most Medical Colleges. Prof. Tandon was the First President of Delhi Society of Anaesthesia in 1961, which was the forerunner of the present ISA Delhi branch. In 1964, Prof. Tandon was elected as the President of Indian Society of Anaesthetists at the last joint conference with Association of Surgeons in Bombay. He was the Editor of Indian Journal of Anaesthesia for a number of years.
In 1964, the Department’s administrative offices were shifted to “Teaching block”, 5th floor East wing, and the operation theatres were shifted to C & D blocks of 8th floor (12 operation theatres) in 1969.
The Department was subsequently headed by Prof. G.R. Gode (1970-1988). Prof. G.R. Gode joined the AIIMS Faculty in 1966 and rose to the post of Associate Professor and took over as Head of the Department in 1970 from Col. G.C. Tandon. He was elevated to the post of Professor in Anaesthesiology in 1975. He took active interest in the clinical trials in the management of human rabies. Due to him in 1979, the Australasian International Conference was held in A.I.I.M.S, New Delhi. He was honored as an Emeritus Scientist by the ICMR. Professor G.R. Gode retired on 31st March, 1988 after 34 years of an illustrious career as one of the pioneer Anaesthesiologist of the country.
Although Dr. V. A. Punnoose didn’t head the department, but his contribution in developing the department are tremendous. He did MD (Anaesthesia) at AIIMS in May 1967 and subsequently joined as faculty. Dr. Punnoose was a rare example of dedicated teacher. He was above all, a very honest, sincere and good human being. Dr. Punnoose was very accessible, friendly and always available for help without any hesitations or preconditions. He used to be seen in operation theatre complex almost 24 hours a day including holidays and weekends. His contribution to the teaching was phenomenal. His contribution to the research for the department was unforgettable. Dr Punnoose devoted his full time attention to setting up anaesthetic services in the cardiac center. He was one of the pioneer in this field and established standards of practice which was followed by a number of departments which came up later in both government and private sector. He resigned the faculty position at AIIMS in 1983. His popularity among the students was so great that even after retirement from the institute; he was mobbed by them whenever or wherever they got a chance to meet him.
Till 1984, services to all subspecialties of Anaesthesiology (Cardiothoracic-vascular, Neuro-anaesthesiology and Institute Rotary Cancer Hospital) were supported by the staff of the main Department in addition to their own staff till they established themselves.
Prof. H. L. Kaul (1988-2004), took over as HOD from Professor G.R.Gode. He is the first postgraduate student of the Department who became Head of the Department in1988.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to inflict a heavy toll on the lives of the Indian population. The number of people infected as well as recovered from COVID-19 is unprecedented to date. There are non-specific reports of persisting symptoms in persons who have recovered from COVID-19 either short or long-term. The long-term consequence of COVID-19 is unknown and the information on late sequelae of COVID-19 is limited as of today. The current study is a community-based door-to-door study that will explore the pre-existing health impairments, including hypertension and diabetes before the pandemic, and post-covid 19 symptoms among participants living in the rural predominant districts. Furthermore, the study also aims to know the prevalence of COVID-19 disease, the death rate, and COVID-19 vaccination coverage in the country’s rural population. The second part of the study is to assess the post-COVID-19 symptoms, health problems and mortality following infection, and vaccination status among patients with a history of the disease.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to inflict a heavy toll on the lives of the Indian population. The number of people infected as well as recovered from COVID-19 is unprecedented to date. There are non-specific reports of persisting symptoms in persons who have recovered from COVID-19 either short or long-term. The long-term consequence of COVID-19 is unknown and the information on late sequelae of COVID-19 is limited as of today. The current study is a community-based door-to-door study that will explore the pre-existing health impairments, including hypertension and diabetes before the pandemic, and post-covid 19 symptoms among participants living in the rural predominant districts. Furthermore, the study also aims to know the prevalence of COVID-19 disease, the death rate, and COVID-19 vaccination coverage in the country’s rural population. The second part of the study is to assess the post-COVID-19 symptoms, health problems and mortality following infection, and vaccination status among patients with a history of the disease.

In developing countries like India, where there is a shortage of both basic doctors and specialists, medical education stands at cross roads. It seems inescapable that our medical education policy has to be oriented towards production of a basic doctor, a specialist and superspecialist. Recognising the dearth of ophthalmologists, training of paramedical personnel to help them is very essential. The teaching programme of the Centre is aimed as follows:
Post Graduate Teaching
Post Graduates are given intensive training for a period of 3 years as resident doctors. Admission to postgraduation course is done every 6 months and in all 24 students admitted per year. The teaching programme includes lectures, case conferences, symposia, journal clubs and demonstrations. Post-graduate teaching is updated from time to time. The teaching schedule includes the recent developments and newer trends in various fields of ophthalmology. Both the basic sciences and clinical courses are spread over three years. The post graduates are attached with consultants so that they can be given personal attention. They are given training in general ophthalmology and in various subspecialities including microsurgery. They are taught to do all types of surgery and are also given experience in community ophthalmology especially during eye camps. Emphasis is given on proper understanding of their role in the National Programme for Control of Blindness. The residents at the completion of their training have a very strong theoretical as well as practical background to provide all types of ophthalmic services. They are also capable of undertaking independent research work and teaching of undergraduate students. The passed out students are holding responsible teaching and non-teaching positions not only in India but also abroad. Some sponsored candidates from other countries had post-graduate training at this Centre.
Undergraduate Teaching
The undergraduate students are taught ophthalmic examination along with investigations, diagnosis and management of common eye disorders. They are made familiar with prevalence of blindness, preventive and rehabilitative measures available and their role in the National Programme for Control of Blindness. The teaching programme includes lectures, seminars, clinical work, field work and tutorials with the following objectives:
B.Sc. (Hons) Ophthalmic Technique
This course is of 3 years duration.The objectives of the course are (i) to achieve general understanding of human biology and basic medical sciences related to ophthalmology, (ii) to enable candidates to work under the supervision of an ophthalmologist in hospitals, clinics and community, in order to help in the execution of integrated approach of promotive, preventive, diagnostic, curative and rehabilitative aspects of ophthalmic care, (iv) to be able to carry out refraction work including contact lenses, (v) to be able to assess disorders of ocular motility and visual functions, give orthoptic and pleoptic exercises. The teaching exercises include lectures, seminars, demonstrations and postings in operation theatres mobile eye camps and various investigative labs. Admission to this course is done yearly and about 24 students are admitted.
Post Doctoral Workshops
This Centre has so far held 101 workshops in which specialists from all over the country have participated. Various specialities in which workshops were held include eye bank and corneal grafting, ophthalmo-plastic surgery, glaucoma, contact lens, neuro ophthalmology, retina, ocular motility and amblyopia (squint), ocular pathology, lens uvea, ocular trauma, paediatric ophthalmology, medical ophthalmology and phacoemulsification.
A large number of National level workshops and seminars under the auspices of W.H.O., I.C.M.R. and Ministry of Health have been conducted.
Post-doctoral short and long term trainees
A large number of ophthalmologists from India and abroad have been trained under this programme. During 2000, 22 short term trainees visited the Centre.

प्र.1:कोरोनरी धमनी रोग (सीएडी)किसे कहते हैं?
क: कोरोनरी धमनी रोग अत्यंत आम किस्म का ह्दयरोग है। यह रोग ह्दय की मांसपेशियों में रक्त की आपूर्ति करने वाली धमनियां (कोरोनरी धमनियां) के सख्त और संकरी होने पर होता है। यह भीतरी दीवारों पर कोलोस्ट्रोल तथा प्लेक नामक अन्य सामग्री जमने पर ऐसा होता है। इसे एथेरोस्क्लेरोसिस कहते है। इससे छाती में दर्द (एन्जायना) हो सकता है या दिल का दौरा पड़ सकता है। अधिकतर दिल के दौरे तब पड़ते हैं जब रक्त के थक्के अचानक ह्दय की रक्त आपूर्ति बंद कर देते हैं, जिससे ह्दय की स्थायी हानि होती हैं। समय के साथ-साथ, सीएडी ह्दय की मांसपेशियां कमज़ोर कर देती हैं और इससे ह्दयपात और एरिथमियां हो सकते हैं।
प्र.2: सीएडी की शिनाख्त़ प्रक्रियाएं क्या हैं?
क: सीएडी की शिनाख्त़ करने के लिए ईसीजी, इकोकार्डियोग्राफी, कोरोनरी सीटी एंजियोग्राफी तथा कार्डिएक सिंगल फोटोन एमिशन द्वारा परिकलित टोमोग्राफी (एसपीइसीटी), और कोरोनरी एंजियोग्राफी जैसी पद्धतियां अपनाई जाती हैं।
प्र.3: सीएडी का उपचार कैसे किया जाता है?
क: (i) चिकित्सीय प्रबंधन (ii)परक्युटेनियस कोरोनरी हस्तक्षेप-एंजियोप्लास्टी/स्टेंटिंग (iii)सीएबीजी(बायपास सर्जरी) (LV) कोरोनरी धमनियों की क्षति की तीव्रता और बायें वेंट्रिक्युलर (एलवी) कार्य की व्याप्ति के आधार पर चिकित्सक चिकित्सीय प्रबंधन थवा एंजियोप्लास्टी अथवा सीएबीजी का मशविरा देते हैं।
प्र.4: परक्युटेनियस कोरोनरी हस्तक्षेपके विभिन्न प्रकार क्या हैं?
क: (i) बलुनिंग (पीओबीए) (ii) बेयर मेटल स्टेंट (बीएमएस) आरोपण (iii) ड्रग एल्युटिंग स्टेंट (डीइएस) आरोपण आजकल, लगभग सभी एंजियोप्लास्टी में डीईएस आरोपण किया जाता है।
प्र.5: कोरोनरी एंजियोग्राम क्या होता है?
क: सीएडी की व्याप्ति एवं तीव्रता जानने हेतु सीएडी के निश्चित निदान और उसके सही उपचार के लिए कार्डिएक कैथ लैब में कोरोनरी धमनियों की इमेजिंग की जाती है। इसे कोरोनरी एंजियोग्राफी कहते हैं।
प्र.6: एंजियोप्लास्टी किसे कहते हैं?
क: एंजियोप्लास्टी वह प्रक्रिया है जिसमें कोरोनरी धमनियों के अवरोधित क्षेत्र खोलने के लिए गुब्बारे का इस्तेमाल किया जाता है। सीएडी के कुछ लक्षणों को कम करने के उद्देश्य से ऐसा किया जाता है। दिल का दौरा पड़ने पर हृदय को होनेवाली क्षति से बचाने के लिए भी ऐसा किया जाता है (प्राथमिक एंजियोप्लास्टी/स्टेंटिंग).
प्र.7: स्टेंट क्यों इस्तेमाल किया जाता है?
क: कोरोनरी धमनियों का अवरोध हटाने के लिए स्टेंट इस्तेमाल किए जाते है। स्टेंट एक छोटा-सा मेटल-मेश ट्यूब होता है जिसे कोरोनरी धमनी का अवरोधित क्षेत्र खुला रखने के लिए किया जाता है। इसके अलावा, ड्रग एल्युटिंग स्टेंट, धमनियें में दवाई डालते हैं। स्टेंटिंग प्रक्रिया के बाद धमनी में से गुब्बारा निकाल दिया जाता है, लेकिन कोरोनरी धमनी में स्टेंट रखा रहता है।
प्र.8: स्टेंट के विभिन्न घटक कौन-से हैं?
क: ड्रग एल्युटिंग स्टेंट निम्न से बनते हैं i) स्टेंट प्लॅटफॉर्म (स्टेनलेस स्टील, कोबाल्ट क्रोमियम, प्लॅटिनम क्रोमियम, इत्यादि) और बलून एक्सपांडेबल डिलीवरी प्रणाली ii) औषधीय एजेंट (एवरोलिमस, सिरोलिमस, इत्यादि) iii) दवा वाहक (उदाहरण पॉलिमर- नॉनबायोडिग्रेडेबल/बायोडिग्रेडेबल)विभिन्न व्यास एवं लम्बाई के स्टेंट उपलब्ध होते हैं। हमारे अस्पताल में,अनेक उत्पादकों के स्टेंट उपलब्ध हैं। एंजियोप्लास्टी के समय, उपचारकर्ता डॉक्टर, मरीज़ को उसकी बीमारी के अनुसार, कौन-सा स्टेंट उपयुक्त होगा, इसकी जानकारी देते हैं। हमारे वेबसाईट पर, विभिन्न प्रकार के स्टेंट और उनकी कीमत की जानकारी उपलब्ध कराई गई है।
प्र.9: प्राथमिक एंजियोप्लास्टी/स्टेंटिंग और उसकी लागत बताएँ।
क:दिल का दौरा पड़ने पर प्राथमिक एंजियोप्लास्टी/स्टेंटिंग की जाती है जो एक आपातकालीन प्रक्रिया है। हमारे अस्पताल में यह प्रक्रिया नि:शुल्क किया जाता है।
प्र.10: मैं स्टेंटिंगा की तैयारी कैसे करूं?
क: आपके डॉक्टर आपकी सम्पूर्ण चिकित्सा जांच करेंगे और आपको विस्तृत निर्देश देंगे। अस्पताल में आने पर अनेक प्रकार के रूटीन परीक्षण किए जाएंगे जैसे कि एक्स-रे, इलेक्ट्रोकार्डियोग्राम (इकेजी), इकोकार्डियोग्राफी अथवा रक्त जांच इत्यादि।
प्र.11: मुझे सरकार से लाभ कैसे प्राप्त होगा?
क: निर्धारित दिशा-निर्देशों के अनुसार आप प्रधानमंत्री जन आरोग्य योजना के अंतर्गत लाभान्वित हो सकते हैं।
प्र.12: मुझे कब तक स्टेंट रखना होगा?
क: कोरोनरी धमनी को दीर्घकालीन साबुत रखने के लिए उसमें स्टेंट लगाए जाते हैं।
प्र.13: क्या मुझे स्टेंट की अनुभूति होगी?
क: नहीं, आपको स्टेंट की अनुभूति नहीं होगी।
प्र.14: क्या स्टेंट हिल सकता है?
क: स्टेंट खोलकर कोरोनरी धमनी की भीतरी दीवार पर लगाने के पश्चात वो वहां स्थायी तौर पर रहेगा। it will remain in place permanently..
प्र.15: कोरोनरी स्टेंट कैसे काम करते हैं?
क:कोरोनरी स्टेंट छोटे, वायर मेश ट्यूब होते हैं जो अवरोधित धमनियों को चौड़ा करने और ह्दय में पर्याप्त रक्त प्रवाह पुन:स्थापित करने में सहायता करते हैं।
प्र.16: मैं कितने समय में कार्य पर लौट सकता हूँ?
क:अधिकतर लोग सफल प्रक्रिया के कुछ ही दिनों बाद काम पर लौटते हैं।
प्र.17:मैं अपनी नियमित गतिविधियां पुन: कब शुरू कर सकता/ती हूँ?
क:आपके डॉक्टर आपको बताएंगे कि नियमित गतिविधियां पुन: शुरू करना कब सही होगा। अधिकतर मरीज़, सफल एंजियोप्लास्टी के एक सप्ताह बाद अपना सामान्य रूटीन शुरू कर पाते हैं।
प्र.18: क्या मैं स्टेंट लगवाने के बाद खेल सकता हूँ?
क:आपके डॉक्टर आपको बताएंगे कि आपके लिए कौन-सी शारीरिक गतिविधियां सही हैं और आप कब खेल सकते हैं।
प्र.19: क्या मेरे स्टेंट से मेटल डिटेक्टर ट्रिगर होंगे?
क:नहीं, आपके कोरोनरी स्टेंट मेटल डिटेक्टर अलार्म ट्रिगर नहीं करेंगे और आप सुरक्षित तौर पर उनसे निकल सकते हैं।
प्र.20: एंजियोप्लास्टी/स्टेंटिंग के पश्चात मुझे कितने समय तक दवाईयां लेनी होंगी?
क: स्टेंट थ्राम्बोसिस (स्टेंट आरोपण के स्थान पर कोरोनरी धमनी में खून का थक्का) का जोखिम कम करने के लिए यह अत्यंत महत्त्वपूर्ण है कि आप अपने डॉक्टर द्वारा बताई गई दवाएं लें। यदि आप स्वस्थ महसूस कर रहे हैं, तो भी आप ये दवाईयां, विशेषकर ब्लड थिनर लेना तब बंद न करें जब तक कि आपके ह्दयरोगविशेषज्ञ नहीं कहते। यदि आपके ह्दय में ड्रग-इल्युटिंग स्टेंट लगाया गया है, तो आपको संभवत: एक वर्ष या उससे अधिक समय तक दवाईयां लेनी होंगी। अपने डॉक्टर के निर्देशों का अक्षरश: पालन करें।
प्र.21: क्या मुझे छाती में दर्द जैसे कोरोनरी धमनी रोग के लक्षणों का पुन: अनुभव होगा?
क: संभव है कि आपको पुन: इन लक्षणों का अनुभव होगा, जिसका कारण उपचारित कोरोनरी धमनी में नया ब्लॉकेज या अन्य स्थान पर नया ब्लॉकेज हो सकता है। यदि आपको ऐसा लगे, तो अपने डॉक्टर को तुरंत सूचित करें।
प्र.22: मुझे कैसे पता चलेगा कि मेरी धमनी पुन: संकरी हो गई है?
क: हालांकि रेस्टेनोसिस घटाने के लिए स्टेंट इस्तेमाल किए जाते हैं, फिर भी यह संभव है कि आपकी धमनी पुन:संकरी हो जाएँ। यदि ऐसा होता है, तो आपको वही लक्षण दुबारा अनुभव होंगे जो स्टेंट प्रक्रिया के पहले आपको महसूस हुए थे। ये लक्षण छाती में दर्द अथवा सांस लेने में कठिनाई जैसे हो सकते हैं, विशेषत: शारीरिक गतिविधि के दौरान। यदि आपको दर्द हो रहा है, तो तुरंत डॉक्टर को सूचित करें।
प्र.23: मैं लक्षणों की पुनरावृत्ति कैसे रोक सकता हूँ?
क: हालांकि लक्षणों की पुनरावृत्ति रोकने का कोई तरीका नहीं है, फिर भी आप व्यायाम, धूम्रपान न करके और स्वस्थ पोषण द्वारा इसका खतरा कम कर सकते हैं। अपने डॉक्टर से पूछें कि आपको अपनी जीवनशैली में कौन-से बदलाव लाने होंगे।
प्र.24: यदि मुझे फिर भी दर्द हुआ तो?
क:यदि आपको दर्द हो रहा है, तो तुरंत हमारे अस्पताल के आपात कक्ष में आएँ।

Some specific contributions for epilepsy:
Dr Chandra has organized several International meetings/teaching programs to enhance Epilepsy Surgery outreach along with several invited International faculty. Some include [1.] Annual COE EEG & epilepsy surgery Master Classes organized in various parts of India, 2012-2020 (8 years, AIIMS Rishikesh, AIIMS Raipur, BHU Varanasi, AIIMS Bhubaneswar, AIIMS Patna, & AIIMS Delhi) [2.] Epilepsy Schools at AIIMS Jodhpur (2019) [3.] Asian Epilepsy Surgery Congress, Udaipur, 2015 [4.] Organizer and faculty for Epilepsy Conclaves 2016-2018 [5.] Current trends in Epilepsy with host of International faculty 2006 [6.] ILAE & ASEPA workshop on epilepsy surgery, 2009 [7.] 1st Indo-German Neurosurgical meeting of Neurological Society of India Annual Congress (>4000 delegates).
He delivered Invited lectures (>100) in several International congresses. Some include ILAE (IEC, Vienna, 2018, AOEC (2016, 2007) , AESC (2020, Taiwan, online; 2019 Japan; 2018 Shanghai; 2016 Korea; 2015 Udaipur; 2012-2020) and ESTM (Gothenburg 2014, Prague 2016, Vienna 2018 and online in 2020), Japanese epilepsy society (2018,2017, 2016, 2008), CNS(Houston, 2018; Boston 2017); Annual Congress of Japanese Neurological surgeons (2017). His talks focus on developing strategies to make epilepsy surgery affordable and effective in developing countries especially based on this own experience of >2000 cases. He also advocates the need to amalgamate research with clinical work and the need to enhance epilepsy surgery outreach. He has described new techniques on epilepsy surgery: Endoscopic hemispherotomy/corpus callosotomy and Robotic thermo-coagulative hemispherotomy (ROTCH). The latter is a “bloodless” technique of hemispherotomy using thermo coagulation disconnection (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRUfiPp5csU&t=3604s), now published in JNS Pediatrics.
He has performed demonstration surgeries in India and internationally, teaching epilepsy surgeries along with minimally invasive techniques (Mumbai, Surat, various AIIMS, Delhi, Jabalpur) and also in various countries (Kula Lumpur, Malaysia 2016, Indonesia 2013, 2015, 2017, 2018; Morocco 2015,2016, 2017, 2018; Kathmandu 2015, 2017, 2018). Most demonstrations also include endoscopic hemispherotomy and corpus callosotomy which has reduced morbidity and duration of hospital stay significantly.
He is on executive board of several International bodies [1.] Member, Epilepsy Surgery Task Force, ILAE (https://www.ilae.org/p-sarat-chandra) [2.] Member, Epilepsy Surgery, Developing World, ILAE (https://www.ilae.org/p-sarat-chandra) [3.] Co-Chair, Epilepsy Surgery section, AOEC, ILAE [4.] President Elect, Indian Epilepsy Society (IES), local chapter affiliated to ILAE [5.] Faculty 1000, ILAE [6.] Ex member, Paediatric Epilepsy Surgery Sub-commission, ILAE [7.] Ex-President, Asian Epilepsy Surgery Congress [8.] Ex board member of Indian Epilepsy Society [8.] Ex-Board member for Society for Brain mapping and therapeutics (SBMT).He has been on board the paediatric sub-commission to create the guidelines for paediatric epilepsy surgery. He has contributed towards Guidelines for epilepsy management in India (GEMIND), which is now online.
As a Co-Chair of Epilepsy Surgery of AOEC, he is conducting epilepsy-surgery sensitization classes for Nepal and Bhutan. He is developing an mobile app for collecting epilepsy surgery database from developing countries in Asia. The app is so designed to be intuitive, easy to use to allow easy entry of data. This would be the first of its kind for Asia and AOEC.
He was the main contributor for surgery for surgical arm for the first ever RCT for paediatric epilepsy surgery [Diwedi R et al; N Engl J Med 2017 Oct 26;377(17): 1639-1647; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29069568/; Chandra PS et al; N Engl J Med 2018 Jan 25;378(4):399; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29365299/]. The study demonstrated a 10 fold improvement of good outcome for surgery in Children vs medical treatment (77% vs 7%). It also demonstrated better cognitive outcomes for surgery in Children with drug resistant epilepsy as compared to medical therapy demonstrating the need for early surgery.
He contributed for HOPS (Hemispherectomy-Outcome-Prediction-Scale study, LANCET, https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3514748). The study analysed 1237 hemispheric surgeries in paediatric patients, 31 centres, 12 countries to identify predictors of seizure freedom after surgery.
Epilepsy Self-help social groups: Co-founder of Ekatwam. This group is involved in providing free medicines and helping poor patients with the cost of epilepsy surgery. This group has now helped > 10,000 patients. (https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Non-Governmental-Organization--NGO-/Ekatwam-Epilepsy-Delhi-243645915696765/).
Specific contributions for Spine: Dr Chandra has been a pioneer from developing new techniques for cranio-vertebral junction especially for congenital
Others: He has been part of National program for development of a National program for epilepsy surgery collaborating with the Ministry of Health Government of India (Chandra PS et al. Epilepsy surgery: recommendations for India. Ann Indian Acad Neurol. 2010; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20814490/).
Summarizing his primary area of focus has been Epilepsy, Epilepsy surgery and epilepsy networks where he has contributed significantly providing new surgical techniques, understanding mechanisms of epileptogenesis and epilepsy networks and also provided and created research and training facilities to take this further. He has also contributed in spine (cranio-vertebral junction and Vertebral body haemangiomas) by creating new surgical techniques, patenting new instruments and implants which have made the surgery easier, safer, and with less morbidity. He also has had significant experience in minimally invasive skull base surgery, robotic neurosurgery and cerebrovascular surgery. He also occupies leadership positions in several scientific societies and bodies.

Figure 1: Shows various photographs in their respective timelines showing the establishment of MEG centre at National Brain Research Centre (NBRC). This centre has been established as a part of Centre of Excellence for Epilepsy as a collaborative project between AIIMS (New Delhi) and NBRC. Till date, more than 1700 MEG’s have been performed from all over the country and also from neighbouring countries like Bangladesh, UAE, and Nepal. All MEG’s are done completely free of cost.
Figure 2: The following figure collage shows the major achievements of Phase I COE under the leadership of Nominee, Dr P Sarat Chandra
Figure 2: The following figure given below shows the capability of COE in creating advanced algorithms to localize epileptogenic networks. The networks are localized first by using MEG (using CURRY and S-Loretta software), followed by coherence studies which provides connectivity patterns in the brain. Coherence basically indicates identifying networks of neurons in the brain which fire at same frequency. There are reasons to believes based on Nominee’s studies that coherent neurons are connected with each other in patients with epilepsy. Such findings provide valuable insights to identify networks in persons with drug resistant epilepsy.
Figure 3: : The following figure shows the main components of the COE for which the Nominee is the PI and Team Leader. These include [1.] The Epilepsy surgery division [2.] Clinical Electrophysiology [3.] The MEG and Brain mapping centre located in the National Brain Research Centre [4.] Intra-cellular electrophysiology and molecular division. Such a multi-team and multi-speciality centre is the first of its kind for the country, and even for the whole South East Asia.
Figure 4: The following figure collage given below shows the capability of Cellular electrophysiology and Epilepsy Neurobiology lab (located in the convergence centre, AIIMS, named after Prof PN Tandon). This division has the capability of recording EPSC’s from live neurons provided from surgically resected brain samples which are carried to this lab within 10 minutes of surgical resection. This provides again valuable insights into connectivity patterns at the cellular and molecular level. The following figure collage given below is an excerpt from the publication in Scientific reports (Nature) which demonstrated for the first time, 2 separate networks, one from hippocampus and the other from the anterior temporal lobe. Such a finding provided immense translational value providing evidence at cellular level to perform an anterior temporal lobectomy + amygdalo-hippocampectomy as opposed to performing selective amygdalo-hippocampectomy. Such an evidence was earlier favoured by well known the meta-analysis performed by Josephson (Neurology, Impact factor 8.03). However, our study was the first of its kind to demonstrate this at the cellular level.

Q.1: What is coronary artery disease (CAD)?
A: Coronary artery disease is the most common type of heart disease. It happens when the arteries that supply blood to heart muscle(coronary arteries) become hardened and narrowed. This is due to build up of cholesterol and other material called plaque, on their inner walls. This build up is called atherosclerosis. This can lead to chest pain (angina) or a heart attack. Most heart attacks happen when a blood clot suddenly cuts off the hearts blood supply, causing permanent heart damage. Over time, CAD can also weaken the heart muscle and contribute to heart failure and arrhythmias.
Q.2: What are the diagnostic modalities for CAD?
A: Various diagnostic modalities are increasingly used in the diagnosis of CAD which includes ECG, Echocardiography, coronary CT angiography, and cardiac single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and coronary angiography.
Q.3: What are the treatment modalities for CAD?
A: (i) Medical Management (ii)Percutaneous Coronary Intervention- Angioplasty/Stenting (iii)CABG(By pass surgery)Depending on the extent and severity of involvement of coronary arteries and left ventricular (LV) function, clinician advises medical management or angioplasty or CABG.
Q.4: What are different types of percutaneous coronary intervention?
A: (i) Balloning(POBA) (ii) Bare metal stent(BMS)implantation (iii) Drug eluting stent(DES)implantationNowdays, almost all angioplasties are being performed using DES impantation.
Q.5: What is a coronary angiogram?
A:&For definitive diagnosis of CAD to find out extent and severity of CAD and for its proper treatment,imaging of coronary arteries is done in cardiac cath lab.This is called as coronary angiography.
Q.6: What is angioplasty?
A: Angioplasty is a procedure that uses a balloon to open up blocked areas of your coronary arteries. It is performed to relieve some of the symptoms associated with CAD. It is also performed during a heart attack to prevent damage to the heart(Primary Angioplasty/stenting).
Q.7: What is the stent used for?
A: Stents are used for relieving obstruction in coronary arteries. The stent is a small metal-mesh tube that is implanted in the area of your coronary artery to help keep it open. Drug eluting stents in addition are designed to deliver medication to the artery. After the stenting procedure, the balloon is removed from your artery, but the stent will remain in your coronary artery.
Q.8: What are the different components of stents?
A:Drug eluting stent is made up of i) Stent platform (Stainless steel, Cobalt chromium, Platinum chromium, etc.) and Balloon expandable delivery system ii) Pharmacological agent (Everolimus, Sirolimus, etc.) iii) Drug Carrier (eg. Polymer- Nonbiodegradable/Biodegradable)These stents are available in various diameters and lengths . Stents from different manufacturers are available at our hospital. At the time of angioplasty, treating doctor discusses and informs the patient regarding the suitability of the stent according to his/her disease. The information about various kinds of stents along with their costs is available at our website.
Q.9: What is Primary angioplasty/stenting and its cost?
A: Primary angioplasty/stenting is an emergency procedure done during the time of ongoing heart attack.At our hospital,it is being done free of cost.
Q.10: How do I prepare for stenting?
A:Your doctor will give you a complete medical exam and provide you with detailed instructions. When you arrive at the hospital, you can expect to have a series of routine tests, such as an x-ray, electrocardiogram (EKG),echocardiography or blood tests etc.Q.11: How can I get benefit from Government?A: One can avail benefits under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana as per the laid guidelines.
Q.12: How long will I have the stent?
A: Stents are designed to remain within your coronary artery permanently to provide lasting support.
Q.13: Will I feel the stent?
A: No. You will not feel the stent inside of you.
Q.14: Can the stent move?
A: Once the stent is opened and deployed at the inside wall of your coronary artery, it will remain in place permanently.
Q.15: How do coronary stents work?
A: Coronary stents are small, wire mesh tubes that help widen clogged arteries and restore adequate blood flow to the heart.
Q.16: How soon can I go back to work?
A: The majority of people return to work within a few days following a successful procedure.
Q.17: When can I resume my regular activities?
A: Your doctor will advise you on when it’s safe to resume your regular activities. Many patients can follow their normal routine with in a week after their successful angioplasty.
Q.18: Can I exercise and play sports with a stent?
A: Your doctor will tell you what physical activities are right for you and when you can safely resume them.
Q.19: Will my stent set off metal detectors?
A: No, your coronary stent will not trigger metal detector alarms and you can walk through them safely.
Q.20: How long should I take my medications after angioplasty/stenting?
A: The most important thing that you can do to minimize the risk of stent thrombosis(clot in coronary artery at the site of stent implantation) is to take the medications prescribed by your doctor prescribes. Do not stop taking these medicines specially blood thinners(Antiplatelets) until your cardiologist tells you to, even if you are feeling better.If you have a drug-eluting stent, you may need to take your medication for an extended period of time, perhaps a year or longer. Follow your doctor’s instructions exactly.
Q.21: Will I experience the symptoms of coronary artery disease again, such as chest pain?
A: It is possible that you will experience symptoms again, either because of a new blockage in the treated coronary artery or a new blockage in a different place. If you experience these symptoms, notify your doctor immediately.
Q.22: How will I know if my artery re-narrows?
A: Although the stents are intended to reduce restenosis, it is still possible for your artery to re-narrow. If this happens, you may experience symptoms similar to those experienced when you first noticed before your stent procedure. These symptoms may include chest pain or shortness of breath, especially during physical activity. If you experience pain, inform your doctor immediately.
Q.23: How can I help prevent a recurrence of symptoms?
A: While there is no sure way to prevent a recurrence of symptoms, you can reduce the risk through exercise, not smoking and eating a healthy diet. Ask your doctor about lifestyle changes you can make.
Q.24: What if I still have pain?
A: If you experience pain, immediately visit the emergency at our hospital .

Research Interests | The research work is focused on TP53 tumor suppressor gene plays crucial role in suppression of cancer. But the mutation in p53 leads to tumour proliferation sometimes drug resistance cancer cells. The research focused on targeting mutant p53 with structure-based drug design to restore mutant p53 to functional like wild type. We do structure-based drug design by X-ray crystallography and for drug binding and functional studies we various biophysical techniques like ITC, CD, Fluorescence and cell based functional assay in p53 mutant cell lines. The second major project in our lab is antimicrobial drug development against drug resistant bacterial pathogen. We work on bacterial cell division proteins particularly FtsZ and its associate proteins involved forming divisome protein complex assembly. We do structure-based drug design by X-ray crystallography, In silico drug screening and for drug binding studies we various biophysical techniques like ITC, CD, Fluorescence. |

Prof. Nagarur Gopinath who established the dept of Cardiothoracic surgery at the AIIMS in 1964, passed away on Sunday,3rd june, 2007 at Bangalore. He was 84.
He began open heart surgery at the AIIMS in 1964, and began a training program in CTVS, leading to the M.Ch degree in 1966.He has trained a large number of students including half the faculty at the AIIMS. His students are now heading many of the departments in the country.He received the padma Shri from the govt. of India, and the wockhardt lifetime achievement award in 2004,and the lifetime achievement award from the Indian Association of cardiovascular-Thoracic surgeons in 2000.
Following his retirement in 1982 he continued to serve the AIIMS as Emeritus professor and contributed many monographs and papers on preventive aspects of heart disease. He is survived by Mrs. Gopinath, one daughter and two sons. The cardiothoracic centre will certainly feel the void left behind by Prof.Gopinath which will be difficult to fill.
The Department is active in training fellows in cardiology and has produced more than 185 DM Cardiologists till date, many of whom are themselves now heading various departments all over India and abroad. Following is the list of alumni of the department:

Research Interests | The research work is focused on TP53 tumor suppressor gene plays crucial role in suppression of cancer. But the mutation in p53 leads to tumour proliferation sometimes drug resistance cancer cells. The research focused on targeting mutant p53 with structure-based drug design to restore mutant p53 to functional like wild type. We do structure-based drug design by X-ray crystallography and for drug binding and functional studies we various biophysical techniques like ITC, CD, Fluorescence and cell based functional assay in p53 mutant cell lines. The second major project in our lab is antimicrobial drug development against drug resistant bacterial pathogen. We work on bacterial cell division proteins particularly FtsZ and its associate proteins involved forming divisome protein complex assembly. We do structure-based drug design by X-ray crystallography, In silico drug screening and for drug binding studies we various biophysical techniques like ITC, CD, Fluorescence. |

Holter monitoring is a procedure during which ECG of the patient is continuously recorded over a 24 hour period. For this purpose, leads are placed on the chest and attached to a small unit which patient can keep in his pocket. The patient can then go home and do his/her normal daily activities. The patient has to come back the next day to have the holter unit removed. A diary is also given to the patient where he can make a note of any complaints (giddiness, palpitations, chest pain etc) along with the exact time. The ECG is later analyzed for any abnormalities during this 24 hour period.
After you receive the form for Holter from your consultant in OPD, you can go to room number 48 (9am to 4pm) for an appointment. The patients need to come at 9am on the appointed day. A fees of Rs 300/- needs to be deposited to the cash counter before the procedure. This can be done on any day between 9 am and 8 pm at the cash counter (room number 28-b).
Treadmill test or TMT is done to determine if the heart muscle is getting adequate blood supply during periods of exertion. The patients walk on a treadmill the speed and slope of which increases every 3 minutes. The ECG, blood pressure etc are continuously monitored during the procedure. If the patients feel any discomfort they should tell the doctor and the exercise can be stopped at any time.

A fees of Rs 300/- needs to be deposited to the cash counter before the procedure. This can be done on any day between 9 am and 8 pm at the cash counter (room number 28-b).
Cardiac cath is a procedure done in cath lab in which thin long tubes are inserted into arteries and veins of upper thigh and advanced to reach the heart. The pressures in different chambers of the heart are recorded and radio-opaque contrast material is injected so as to visualize the heart chambers and blood vessels using X-rays. Using this procedure many heart diseases can be diagnosed and treated. Angioplasty and valve dilatation are extension of the same procedure.
The patients are advised to come to room number 5 or 28 in OPD on one day prior to the procedure at 4pm (called “cath selection”). They should deposit the fees for the procedure before coming at the cash counter (room number 28-b between 9am and 8pm). At the time of cath selection, the patients are given instructions about the procedure. Their ECG, Chest X-ray and blood test may be done at this time. The patients then go back home and come the next day at 8am to the “cath lab”. The patients should be fasting on this day. The morning dose of medicines should be taken with a small amount of water before 7am on the day of cath.
Echocardiography is done to visualize the heart directly, to measure dimensions of important structures, to assess function of different chambers, to assess flow across different valves and for many other parameters. It is a very important investigation for patients with congenital, valvular, coronary and most other heart diseases. For most procedures one can get all information by placing a plastic probe (transducer) on the chest wall (Transthoracic echocardiography). However, sometimes visualization is not sufficient with this and a ‘Transesophageal echocardiography’ is needed.
After you receive the form for Echo test from your consultant in OPD, you can go to room number 48 (9am to 4pm) for an appointment. A fees of Rs 100/- needs to be deposited to the cash counter before the procedure. This can be done on any day between 9 am and 8 pm at the cash counter (room number 28-b). The patients need to come to Echo lab on the appointed day and time. Fasting is needed only for transesophageal echocardiography.
Several Paraclinical Services are provided at RP Centre to augment the clinical services. RPC has dedicated departments of Ocular Biochemistry, Ocular Pathology, Ocular Microbiology, and Ocular Pharmacology.

The Centre has a minor operation theatre for ward patients. The main operation theatres are equipped with all types of specialised instruments for surgery including keratoplasty, retinal detachment, ophthalmoplasty, squint, besides glaucoma, cataract etc. The operation theatre is equipped with operating microscopes and is fitted with a closed circuit T.V. system. Besides other operative appliances, it is also equipped for vitrectomy and lensectomy operations. Phaco emulsification is being used for cataract surgery. As a no stitch/one stitch technique is used, an earlier rehabilitation of patients is generally possible.
There are 300 beds including casualty beds. Of these 4 beds are reserved for E.H.S.beneficiaries, 15 for emergency cases, 3 under Chief's pool and 20 paying ward rooms.
A wing exclusively meant for paediatric patients has been functioning on the 4th floor. The creation of this special paediatric ward emphasises the importance given to the treatment of eye diseases in children.

Daily forty cabins are run to provide the ophthalmic services in the Out Patient Department. A special cell for refraction has been created to provide prescription for glasses.
The special feature of the O.P.D. is an appointment system. Every patient is given an approximate appointment time for examination and alloted to a doctor for advice and follow up
A new extension OPD with six clinical examination chambers with refraction facility has been added since 2014.
The special features of the Hospital services are :
Round the Clock Emergency Service which includes :
The Centre runs its own Casualty service, where the emergency cases and those patients who come after O.P.D. hours are attended. A junior resident, senior resident and a consultant are available round the clock. There are 15 beds earmarked for Casualty cases. The Casualty wing has an attached operation theatre. Realising the importance of ocular infections as an ocular disaster, an 'Ocular Infection Cell' has been created in the Casualty area which provides immediate investigative support and urgent meticulous treatment in corneal ulcer cases and other cases of ocular infection.

Dr. KhushbooIrshad completed her PhD at the Department of Biochemistry, AIIMS, New Delhi, in 2013 under the supervision of Prof. Kunzang Chosdol, Prof. Subrata Sinha and Prof. P. Chattopadhyay. Her thesis involved the study of correlation between hypoxia and Notch signaling pathway in glioblastoma and identification of a combined gene signature to predict the survival of glioblastoma patients. Her work derived a key prognostic molecular cluster characteristic of the Notch pathway response in hypoxic glioblastoma tumors and gliomasphere cultures (PLoS One (2015); 10(3):e0118201; felicitated with AIIMS Excellence Research Award-2015 that was awarded to Prof. Chosdol). Presently, her research focuses on deciphering the role of FAT1, a novel gene implicated in glioma, in regulating the hallmark features of glioma like stemness and invasiveness, as well as in maintenance of the balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory signaling in glioma. She was awarded the DST-SERB Start-Up Research Grant in March 2016, for the project aimed at elucidation of FAT1 function in modulating pro-inflammatory signaling and anti-inflammatory / immunosuppressive signaling pathways in glioma.

HIV Immunology: Coevolution of virus and antibody responses, generation and characterization of human recombinant anti-HIV-1 monoclonal antibodies
HIV-1 is a complex virus with a remarkable ability to protect itself from our intricate network of immune system. This is achieved by masking itself from the immune recognition by acquiring the host proteins or by escaping the humoral response by virtue of its extraordinary ability to mutate. This leads to generation of diverse strains of HIV-1 virus, making the treatment and prevention a complicated process. More than 90% of the HIV-1 infections in India are caused by clade C viruses. Our lab focuses on studying various aspects of HIV-1 infection which includes:
HIV-1C primary isolates generated in our lab from select infected children showed resistance to neutralization by majority of the known second generation bNAbs (Makhdoomi et al, Virology 2016). We followed up antiretroviral naïve chronically infected children and mapped their plasma for presence of bnAbs (Makhdoomi et al. J Gen Virol. 2017 Jul;98(7):1879-189) and identified a pair of identical twins AIIMS_329 and AIIMS_330. The plasma from both donors showed the evolvement of bnAbs targeting common epitopes in the V2 and V3 regions of the envelope, suggesting bnAb development in these twins may perhaps be determined by specific sequences in the shared virus that can guide development of immunogens aimed at eliciting V2 and V3 bNAbs. Characterization of the neutralization sensitive and resistant viruses coevolving with bNAbs in the contemporaneous AIIMS_330 plasma provides information towards understanding viral alterations that may have contributed to the development of resistance to bnAbs. (Mishra N. J Virol https://doi.org/10.1128/JVI.00654-19).
Our work on circulating HIV-1 in perinatally infected infants defined viral factors associated with early bnAb responses, supportive of polyvalent vaccination approaches capable of inducing bnAbs against HIV-1 (Mishra N. Nat.Commun.,2020) 11:4409 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-18225-x). As in the case of monozygotic twins, we identified that the antibody response in infants primarily targets the V2 region of HIV-1, making it an attractive target for immunogen design to elicit antibodies.
Using the high throughput technology of HIV-1 specific single B cell sorting, we isolated a bNAb AIIMS-P01 from a pediatric elite neutralizer (Kumar et al, JVI, 2019). This mAb has shown 67% breadth at a potency of 0.5 µg/ml, and shows good neutralizing activity against Indian clade C viruses and needs to be tested in future for in vivo protection against HIV-1 infection.
Recently, we generated and structurally analyzed a heavy chain matured linage antibody 44m of the parental anti-HIV-1 human monoclonal AIIMS P01, that demonstrated improved neutralization potential against globally diverse viruses, as compared to the parent antibody (Kumar S et al. iScience. 2023)
During the COVID-19 pandemic, neutralizing antibodies have been shown to be a critical feature of recovered patients. Given the unique nature of HIV-1 bnAbs and their ability to recognize and/or accommodate viral glycans, we reasoned that the glycan shield of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can be targeted by HIV-1 specific bnAbs. We showed that HIV-1 specific monoclonal antibodies as well as polyclonal plasma antibodies cross-react and neutralize SARS-CoV-2. (Mishra N. PLoS Pathog 2021. 17(9): e1009958 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1009958.
D r. Swarandeep Singh, is a Research Associate, working on a project entitled "Development of therapeutic broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies against circulating HIV-1 clade C in children and adults." He earned his Ph.D. in the HIV-1 Immunology Laboratory at AIIMS New Delhi under the chief guidance of Professor Kalpana Luthra. During his Ph.D., he developed expertise in designing and characterizing HIV-1 vaccines and recombinant monoclonal antibodies. Dr. Singh's primary research interest lies in HIV-1 vaccine design, with a focus on testing designed immunogens in preclinical animal models. Additionally, he actively explores the generation and modification of novel monoclonal antibodies from chronically HIV-1 infected patients for therapeutic purposes. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he has showcased the unique nature of HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) & polyclonal plasma antibodies cross-reacted and effectively neutralized SARS-CoV-2, showcasing the potential dual application of HIV research insights in combating other viral infections. Through the esteemed HIV-1 Research Trust Fellowship Award (United Kingdom), Dr. Swarandeep Singh has gained advanced skills in the design of self-assembling protein nanoparticles as a platform for HIV vaccines & other innovative vaccine strategies
Ms. Antara Malik is a fifth year PhD student currently working in the lab of Dr. Kalpana Luthra. Primarily, her thesis work is aimed at understanding the status of the immune responses and the role of macrophages and T cells in the immunopathology of Chronic Pancreatitis. The second part of her thesis work involves theelucidation of metabolic alterations associated with the progression of Chronic Pancreatitis.
She completed her Masters in Biotechnology from Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi. Her master’s dissertation was conducted in NIPGR (National Institute of Plant Genome Research), New Delhi where her project work involved cloning of Sucrose Transporters and Expression Analysis of Genes in Rice plants. She graduated in Biochemistry (Hons.) from University of Delhi.
Apart from the ongoing research work involving HIV-1, Prof. Kalpana Luthra has also collaborated with Prof. Pramod K. Garg, Department of Gastroenterology and the group recently started working on Chronic Pancreatitis.
Chronic Pancreatitis is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas which results in the slow destruction of pancreatic parenchyma, severe abdominal pain, subsequent fibrosis leading to poor quality of life. The mechanism of inflammation, tissue destruction and fibrosis is not well understood.
Patients commonly experience recurrent exacerbations with painful attacks interspersed by relatively quiescent phases. Also, some patients present with chronic continuous pain. This may be driven by either or both innate and adaptive immune responses on which there are several contradictory studies/lacunae in the existing literature.
Hereby, there arises a need to understand the inflammatory processes in Chronic Pancreatitis with regard to the initiating and effector cells that are involved, and the inflammatory mediators driving the process. The translational significance lies in the possibility of repurposing some of the known anti-inflammatory/immunosuppressive drugs that may be tested in these patients.
Post her Masters, she continued as a JRF in NIPGR, where she was working on the characterization of tissue specific expression pattern of PIF transcription factors in rice and tomato plants in response to high temperature, drought and salt stress via quantitativePCR and generation of PIF regulatory network via transcriptome profiling of over expression and knock out/down lines using RNA Seq librarypreparation.
Further, she joined IARI (Indian Agricultural Research Institute), New Delhi as a JRF where her project was based on the integration of plant and parasite omics to decipher the interactions and identify molecular targets for the management of root knot disease of rice.
Later on, she shifted her research focus to human sciences and joined Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Center for Biomedical Research (ACBR), University of Delhi as a JRF where she was studying the genetic polymorphism of Growth Differentiation Factor15 (GDF15) in patients with Coronary Artery Disease in Asian Indian population followed by the differential expression of GDF15 in these patients at mRNA and protein level.

HIV Immunology: Coevolution of virus and antibody responses, generation and characterization of human recombinant anti-HIV-1 monoclonal antibodies
HIV-1 is a complex virus with a remarkable ability to protect itself from our intricate network of immune system. This is achieved by masking itself from the immune recognition by acquiring the host proteins or by escaping the humoral response by virtue of its extraordinary ability to mutate. This leads to generation of diverse strains of HIV-1 virus, making the treatment and prevention a complicated process. More than 90% of the HIV-1 infections in India are caused by clade C viruses. Our lab focuses on studying various aspects of HIV-1 infection which includes:
HIV-1C primary isolates generated in our lab from select infected children showed resistance to neutralization by majority of the known second generation bNAbs (Makhdoomi et al, Virology 2016). We followed up antiretroviral naïve chronically infected children and mapped their plasma for presence of bnAbs (Makhdoomi et al. J Gen Virol. 2017 Jul;98(7):1879-189) and identified a pair of identical twins AIIMS_329 and AIIMS_330. The plasma from both donors showed the evolvement of bnAbs targeting common epitopes in the V2 and V3 regions of the envelope, suggesting bnAb development in these twins may perhaps be determined by specific sequences in the shared virus that can guide development of immunogens aimed at eliciting V2 and V3 bNAbs. Characterization of the neutralization sensitive and resistant viruses coevolving with bNAbs in the contemporaneous AIIMS_330 plasma provides information towards understanding viral alterations that may have contributed to the development of resistance to bnAbs. (Mishra N. J Virol https://doi.org/10.1128/JVI.00654-19).
Our work on circulating HIV-1 in perinatally infected infants defined viral factors associated with early bnAb responses, supportive of polyvalent vaccination approaches capable of inducing bnAbs against HIV-1 (Mishra N. Nat.Commun.,2020) 11:4409 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-18225-x). As in the case of monozygotic twins, we identified that the antibody response in infants primarily targets the V2 region of HIV-1, making it an attractive target for immunogen design to elicit antibodies.
Using the high throughput technology of HIV-1 specific single B cell sorting, we isolated a bNAb AIIMS-P01 from a pediatric elite neutralizer (Kumar et al, JVI, 2019). This mAb has shown 67% breadth at a potency of 0.5 µg/ml, and shows good neutralizing activity against Indian clade C viruses and needs to be tested in future for in vivo protection against HIV-1 infection.
Recently, we generated and structurally analyzed a heavy chain matured linage antibody 44m of the parental anti-HIV-1 human monoclonal AIIMS P01, that demonstrated improved neutralization potential against globally diverse viruses, as compared to the parent antibody (Kumar S et al. iScience. 2023)
During the COVID-19 pandemic, neutralizing antibodies have been shown to be a critical feature of recovered patients. Given the unique nature of HIV-1 bnAbs and their ability to recognize and/or accommodate viral glycans, we reasoned that the glycan shield of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can be targeted by HIV-1 specific bnAbs. We showed that HIV-1 specific monoclonal antibodies as well as polyclonal plasma antibodies cross-react and neutralize SARS-CoV-2. (Mishra N. PLoS Pathog 2021. 17(9): e1009958 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1009958.
D r. Swarandeep Singh, is a Research Associate, working on a project entitled "Development of therapeutic broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies against circulating HIV-1 clade C in children and adults." He earned his Ph.D. in the HIV-1 Immunology Laboratory at AIIMS New Delhi under the chief guidance of Professor Kalpana Luthra. During his Ph.D., he developed expertise in designing and characterizing HIV-1 vaccines and recombinant monoclonal antibodies. Dr. Singh's primary research interest lies in HIV-1 vaccine design, with a focus on testing designed immunogens in preclinical animal models. Additionally, he actively explores the generation and modification of novel monoclonal antibodies from chronically HIV-1 infected patients for therapeutic purposes. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he has showcased the unique nature of HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) & polyclonal plasma antibodies cross-reacted and effectively neutralized SARS-CoV-2, showcasing the potential dual application of HIV research insights in combating other viral infections. Through the esteemed HIV-1 Research Trust Fellowship Award (United Kingdom), Dr. Swarandeep Singh has gained advanced skills in the design of self-assembling protein nanoparticles as a platform for HIV vaccines & other innovative vaccine strategies
Ms. Antara Malik is a fifth year PhD student currently working in the lab of Dr. Kalpana Luthra. Primarily, her thesis work is aimed at understanding the status of the immune responses and the role of macrophages and T cells in the immunopathology of Chronic Pancreatitis. The second part of her thesis work involves theelucidation of metabolic alterations associated with the progression of Chronic Pancreatitis.
She completed her Masters in Biotechnology from Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi. Her master’s dissertation was conducted in NIPGR (National Institute of Plant Genome Research), New Delhi where her project work involved cloning of Sucrose Transporters and Expression Analysis of Genes in Rice plants. She graduated in Biochemistry (Hons.) from University of Delhi.
Apart from the ongoing research work involving HIV-1, Prof. Kalpana Luthra has also collaborated with Prof. Pramod K. Garg, Department of Gastroenterology and the group recently started working on Chronic Pancreatitis.
Chronic Pancreatitis is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas which results in the slow destruction of pancreatic parenchyma, severe abdominal pain, subsequent fibrosis leading to poor quality of life. The mechanism of inflammation, tissue destruction and fibrosis is not well understood.
Patients commonly experience recurrent exacerbations with painful attacks interspersed by relatively quiescent phases. Also, some patients present with chronic continuous pain. This may be driven by either or both innate and adaptive immune responses on which there are several contradictory studies/lacunae in the existing literature.
Hereby, there arises a need to understand the inflammatory processes in Chronic Pancreatitis with regard to the initiating and effector cells that are involved, and the inflammatory mediators driving the process. The translational significance lies in the possibility of repurposing some of the known anti-inflammatory/immunosuppressive drugs that may be tested in these patients.
Post her Masters, she continued as a JRF in NIPGR, where she was working on the characterization of tissue specific expression pattern of PIF transcription factors in rice and tomato plants in response to high temperature, drought and salt stress via quantitativePCR and generation of PIF regulatory network via transcriptome profiling of over expression and knock out/down lines using RNA Seq librarypreparation.
Further, she joined IARI (Indian Agricultural Research Institute), New Delhi as a JRF where her project was based on the integration of plant and parasite omics to decipher the interactions and identify molecular targets for the management of root knot disease of rice.
Later on, she shifted her research focus to human sciences and joined Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Center for Biomedical Research (ACBR), University of Delhi as a JRF where she was studying the genetic polymorphism of Growth Differentiation Factor15 (GDF15) in patients with Coronary Artery Disease in Asian Indian population followed by the differential expression of GDF15 in these patients at mRNA and protein level.

South Asia's first Mobile Methadone Clinic
"Action Plan for Substance Use Management in Children"
Substance Use Disorders or Addictive Disorders are major public health problems in India. Whileproviding treatment and care to millions of patients affected by the common addiction-relatedproblems always remains a challenge, the average mental health professional is bludgeoned todayby newer issues and challenges which necessitate refreshing and updating the professionalknowledge and skills. In order to address this, a National Continuing Medical Education (CME)program was organized jointly by three reputed bodies: AIIMS, New Delhi; National Academy ofMedical Sciences (NAMS) and Indian Association for Social Psychiatry (IASP), on 22 July 2017at NAMS Auditorium in New Delhi.
Director AIIMS, Padmashree Dr. RandeepGuleria was the Chief Guest,while Shri AK Jha Economic Advisor, Ministry ofHealth and Family Welfare, Government of India wasthe Guest of Honor.The well-rounded and comprehensive programme comprised of a healthy mix of lectures andpresentations by the nationally renowned faculty members, interactive discussions and a PanelDiscussion with leading stakeholders and policy makers. More than 150 delegates (mostly traineesand younger specialists) attended the event in person while close to 80 delegates participatedvirtually from remote locations in AIIMS, Bhubneswar and AIIMS, Jodhpur.
The 14th Annual Day of National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre (NDDTC), All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi was celebrated at NDDTC, Ghaziabad on 13th April 2017. MsJagjitPavadia, Vice President, International Narcotics Control Board was the Chief Guest on the occasion.

The National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre (NDDTC), AIIMS has initiated a new service – delivery of methadone through a mobile van in East Delhi. The new service delivery was inaugurated by the AIIMS Director, Prof. Randeep Guleria on 22 March 2019 in the presence of officers from National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO), United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and the Director General Health Services, Govt. of Delhi. Representatives from NGOs, and drug user community also attended the inauguration event.
Opioid Addiction is a significant problem in India. The recently released report of National Survey last month estimated that India has about 28 Lakh people affected by addiction to opioids such as heroin, opium and various pharmaceutical products. These people require medicines such as methadone or buprenorphine for treatment of opioid addiction. However, there are very few treatment centres providing these medicines, while the need is very high. It is estimated that less than two percent of the population addicted to opioids in India is receiving this treatment, which is recommended by various UN bodies and the World Health Organization (WHO).
Since methadone is a highly regulated medicine it is only provided as daily observed treatment. This medicine is available in just about a dozen cities in India. “Patients often find it difficult to come to the clinic daily to receive methadone, which leads to patients dropping-out of treatment midway”, informed Dr. Ravindra Rao, in-charge of the methadone clinic. The mobile methadone dispensing unit plans to bridge this gap and improve retention of patients into treatment enabling them to work and lead a healthier life. Currently, such dispensing vans or buses are available in few select developed countries in the world, such as USA, Portugal, Spain, Canada and Netherlands. With the launch of mobile delivery of methadone, India joins this elite club. In fact, India is the first country in the South Asian Region to initiate these services.
The van will be parked at strategic places in East Delhi and adjoining areas for fixed time period in the day, where the patients can come and receive their medicine without having to travel to the main clinic. “In the trial run for last two weeks we already have more than two dozen patients enrolled in the facility and the response is very encouraging” informed Dr. Rao. This number is expected to reach about 100 patients per day, very soon. Based on the success of this initiative, this new approach can be scaled-up in different parts of the country.

The content and character of the discipline of Biostatistics has undergone a radical change during the last few decades. From being a passive and descriptive discipline, Biostatistics has emerged as a vigorous, dynamic, and constructive instrument of decision-making in the area of health and medical care. Powerful and sophisticated statistical techniques of planning and analysis of biological experiments and investigations, development of probabilistic models in epidemiology and application of operations research techniques in health care delivery have opened up new dimensions and capabilities in medical and health research. In this context, a medical person’s training, particularly that of a medical researcher, would be considered incomplete today without a reasonable acquaintance with the potentialities of applications of bio-statistical techniques to enable him/her to plan his/her research studies with scientifically and statistically valid designs and to arrive at valid and meaningful conclusions applying appropriate statistical methods. At the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Biostatistics was a part of the then Department of Preventive and Social Medicine till 1973. In October 1973, an independent Biostatistics Unit was carved out from the Department of Preventive and Social Medicine. In 1986, the “Biostatistics Unit” was renamed as the “Department of Biostatistics” fulfilling a long felt need for such a department. As an independent department, it caters to the needs of all the faculty, scientific staff and students in the Institute in teaching and research. |

Research Focus of the Lab
The primary goal of Dr. Alpana Sharma’s lab is to understand major biological processes at the molecular and immune level with the ultimate aim of alleviating human disease by identification of novel therapeutic agents/targets. To accomplish this, Dr. Sharma’s lab focuses on elucidating the diverse mechanisms of immune escape and exhaustion in solid tumors such as renal cell cancer and bladder cancer wherein the role of memory T cells, regulatory B cells and tumor associated macrophages is being explored. Furthermore, the immune-pathogenesis of autoimmune skin diseases is being studied in order to understand the T-cell biology and crosstalk between macrophages, dendritic cells and NK cells in Pemphigus Vulgaris and Vitiligo. Moreover, the impact of MDSCs and Tregs in atherosclerosis is also another field of interest.
The other field of research is to explore the importance of bone marrow microenvironment in multiple myeloma and cancers of urinary bladder cancer. Her laboratory is interested in identifying biomarkers of diagnostic potential in cancer. In addition, the role of microRNAs in diagnostics and therapeutics of cancer is being studied. Dr. Sharma’s lab is also elucidating anti-cancer potential of natural products. The small molecule based therapeutic drug screening and identification is also an ongoing research work in lab.

HIV Immunology: Coevolution of virus and antibody responses, generation and characterization of human recombinant anti-HIV-1 monoclonal antibodies
HIV-1 is a complex virus with a remarkable ability to protect itself from our intricate network of immune system. This is achieved by masking itself from the immune recognition by acquiring the host proteins or by escaping the humoral response by virtue of its extraordinary ability to mutate. This leads to generation of diverse strains of HIV-1 virus, making the treatment and prevention a complicated process. More than 90% of the HIV-1 infections in India are caused by clade C viruses. Our lab focuses on studying various aspects of HIV-1 infection which includes:

(Content provider: Dr. Achal K Srivastava)
Neurology is one of the earliest super – specialty at the Institute. Dr. James Austin, a Neurologist from Oregon, USA started a nucleus of Neurology service in the department of Medicine in 1962-63. In 1965, Dr Sushila Nayar, then Union health minister, invited Prof. Baldev Singh (one of the founder members of NSI, Neurological Society of India) to start a department of Neurology at AIIMS. When Prof Baldev Singh (also called ‘father of neurology’ in India and lovingly called "Papa Neuron") moved to neurophysiology on his retirement, the department was headed by Dr S N Pathak and then by Dr Vimla Virmani in 1975. After Prof. Vimla Virmani, Prof. M C Maheshwari took charge of the department in 1978. The department was shifted to the Cardiothoracic and Neurosciences Centre in the year 1985. In the year 2001, Prof. M.Behari took over the mantle of leadership. She retired in June 2016. Prof Kameshwar Prasad became the head of the department in October 2013. He retired on 31st January 2019. Prof. MV Padma Srivastava took over the leadership on 1st February 2019. From its inception, the emphasis of the department has been on quality patient care, research and to achieve academic excellence. Though the department started with 25 in patient beds, now there are 75 beds including neurointensive care. Out patient services and inpatient care has been incessantly on the rise over the years. The department has tried to maintain impeccable record of comprehensive patient care, teaching and training of students as well as contribute significantly to the scientific literature in terms of research.

The immune system can be likened to a sophisticated army, equipped with various tools and mechanisms to protect the body from infections and cancers. However, during tumor development, cancer cells release substances that suppress the immune system, allowing the tumor to grow and spread. To combat this, researchers are focusing on developing immunotherapies that enhance the body's natural defenses against cancer. These immunotherapies target specific pathways involved in tumor growth, angiogenesis, and immune suppression. By discovering and studying the effects of natural compounds and plant extracts, scientists hope to develop safe and effective treatments for cancer that can be used in combination with existing therapies. The goal is to improve cancer management, early detection, and targeted drug delivery to prevent the progression of the disease. Our research lab utilizes advanced molecular & immunological techniques.

The department is currently involved in The National Survey on Human Resources & Infrastructure for Paediatric Eye Care Services in India. As on 15th October 2020, there are nearly 10303 eye institutes in the entire country, out of which 8125 (78.9%) institutes have been contacted telephonically for participation in the HR survey. Out of them, completed responses have been received from 7200 institutes (Response Rate 88.6%) & about 2000 institutes were found to have paediatric oriented services (defined as paediatric OT facilities under general anaesthesia).
National Blindness Survey was completed in 30 districts and National Trachoma Survey in 24 districts in the country with support from National Programme for Control Blindness (NPCB), Government of India. Under the NBS and in each district, a sample of 3000 participants aged 50 years and above were enumerated and at-least 90% of them were examined across 50 clusters spread throughout the district. A GIS based map of each cluster covered was also being prepared. It was for the first time that an assessment of diabetic status and evaluation of patients (either newly diagnosed or previously diagnosed) for presence of Diabetic Retinopathy was also being done in a nation-wide manner. Each survey was facilitated and closely monitored by faculty from RP Centre at initiation, interim and towards the end of the survey which required 10-18 days of continuous field work. Emphasis was given for involvement of local medical colleges or renowned non-profit centres of Ophthalmology when doing the survey in a district. Over 93,000 participants were enrolled in the National Blindness Survey and over 25,00 children and 55,000 adults in the National Trachoma Survey.
Historically, the Community Ophthalmology department has been engaged in various national level blindness surveys, INDEYE and INDGEN studies on age related eye diseases and its genetic component in collaboration with LSH&TM, manpower and management training with Lions Club International Foundation, operational research studies with ORBIS, situational assessment of eye care infrastructure, Corneal Opacity Rural Epidemiological (CORE) study, North India Myopia Study (NIMS), training programs in primary eye care.

We are a dedicated team of researchers focused on understanding the role of the R2TP complex in malignancy. The R2TP complex is a co-chaperone of Hsp90, involved in the assembly and stabilization of various macromolecular complexes in the cell. The interactions and collaborative functions of the R2TP complex with its clients remain poorly understood and unexplored. Our research delves into the molecular associations of the complex whilst cancer progression and how it can potentially be targeted for therapeutic interventions.
Additionally, we explore the functions of tumour suppressors, crucial proteins that play a pivotal role in preventing the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells. Understanding how these proteins operate and how they can be manipulated is a key aspect of our work.
Furthermore, our lab is also interested in the effects of genetic manipulation in mammalian inner ear cells. This area of research is important for understanding hearing loss and other inner ear disorders, and it has implications for the development of potential treatments.
We are committed to advancing knowledge in these areas and contributing to the development of novel strategies for treatment. To learn more about our ongoing projects and recent discoveries, please email

Organ Dysfunction- Mechanisms, Signaling and Biomarkers
The broad interest of the lab focuses on the pathogenesis of liver disease, particularly complications of liver cirrhosis such as acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Our work centers around interactions and cross-talk between the immune system and the liver. Recent studies by our group has demonstrated the expansion of CD177+ neutrophils in ACLF and its relationship with patient mortality. Students in the lab are currently investigating the basis of such immune regulation and the potential of harnessing this information in developing new therapeutic approaches. In addition to immune- liver cross talk, a major interest of our group is to carry out systematic and rigorous biomarker discovery studies using mass spectrometry driven omics approaches (proteomics and metabolomics) and recent work by our group has uncovered novel biomarkers of acute kidney injury in ACLF. Our approach is to combine clinical observations in liver disease with mechanistic studies in lab cell culture and animal models.

Tumour DNA sampling in retinoblastoma, molecular markers in retinoblastoma, ocular surface neoplasia, eyelid malignancies, lacrimal adenoid cystic carcinoma and ocular melanoma are some of basic research that is ongoing in close collaboration with ocular pathology team.
The Unit provides Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery for a wide variety of disorders including ptosis, congenital structural anomalies including use of expanders in congenital contracted socket, cosmetic blepharoplasty, eyelid retraction surgery, problems related to lacrimal drainage system, trauma-related orbital and periorbital deformities. Procedures such as orbital decompression surgeries, evisceration, enucleation, exenteration, placement of implant, botulinum toxin injections and scar revision surgeries etc are also routinely performed in the unit.
During COVID-19 pandemic, the Oculoplasty Team was at the forefront in the management of cases with rhino-orbital mucormycosis during the epidemic of mucormycosis in the second wave of COVID-19 infection. We formed the AIIMS-RPC Guidelines for Early Detection and Prevention of Mucormycosis for the community and doctors which was also released by the press. In collaboration with Community Ophthalmology, we released the posters for awareness of patients and community mentioning the red flags for early detection and overall management and care of patients which included the follow-up advice also. Screening Guidelines were laid down by the Oculoplasty team and intensive screening for development of early signs of mucormycosis in indoor patients affected by COVID-19 infection on ventilator or any form of oxygen therapy with high-risk features was conducted by our team at various COVID wards in AIIMS for prompt treatment. Active participation of Faculty in Webinars on mucormycosis, including lectures, was conducted for teaching the residents on the early detection and treatment of mucormycosis. Studies related to impact of COVID-19 pandemic were initiated with the focus on the delayed presentations of mucormycosis and role of trans-cutaneous intra-orbital amphotericin B injections in early or recurrent cases of mucormycosis as a funded project. Psychosocial impact of destructive procedure, delayed presentations of cancer patients and change in pattern of orbital and periorbital infections during the COVID-19 pandemic are some of the ongoing studies. We have an active ongoing collaboration with the basic sciences on various projects related to mucormycosis.
Over the past few years, in the field of Oculoplasty, there has been a paradigm shift from invasive surgery to non-surgical and minimally invasive therapeutic procedures with aesthetically pleasing and promising results. Some of the important ongoing studies in line with this concept are - nonsurgical management of peri-orbital veno-lymphatic malformation by intralesional sclerotherapy, role of oral sildenafil, topical medication for ptosis pyogenic granuloma, abdominal fat transfer for the correction of cicatricial ectropion, use of botulinum toxin in thyroid eye disease and sutureless technique in skin grafting procedure. Some pioneering studies that are under publication are on single-stage surgery for eyelid reconstruction procedure, novel approach for protection of ocular surface in severe burn or trauma cases, ocular surface reconstruction using collagen matrix in patients with ocular surface chemical burns etc.
More recently we have worked on role of biomarkers in fungal infection, use of fat graft in orbital volume augmentation, intralesional sclerotherapy in periocular and adnexal veno-lymphatic malformation, innovations in ptosis surgery, antimetabolites in contracted socket, intravitreal chemotherapy in retinoblastoma, orbital implants in enucleated socket, etc and published some of these studies in eminent journals.
The unit has been at the forefront of ocular cancer research, including clinical trials into new and better treatments. Publications in indexed journals, constant teaching and participation of resident doctors in ongoing CME programs, workshops and conferences are part of the training program. The Unit Faculty published more than 20 research articles in the year 2021-22 and presented their work through several webinars and online conferences. Our resident doctors received 5 awards in National and Internationalconferences. The unit annually conducts the Oculoplasty and Ocular Oncology workshop, maintaining its tradition of the year round workshops in the challenging times of the pandemic. A comprehensive overview of diagnostic and management techniques in Oculoplasty and Oncology is showcased, and the event is attended by delegates from all over the country. There are special sessions on video based surgical skill transfer, approach to complex orbital and periorbital diseases, ocular pathology and insight into diagnostic and management of selected challenging cases. Recent advances at the centre are highlighted and delegates are given an opportunity for hands-on experience.he aim of the unit is to serve the patients in a compassionate and professional manner providing comprehensive care with a holistic team approach.
The unit 5 also provides strabismus and neuro ophthalmology services. Patients with ocular misalignment, amblyopia, binocular visual problems and neuro-ophthalmic disorders are treated here. The unique protocols for clinical diagnosis, management, and advanced surgical facilities makes it one of the aspired places for strabismus care in India and abroad. In the field of amblyopia, the specialists now offer the novel dichoptic therapies for young children. In paediatric and in adult subjects, the basic as well as complex strabismic disorders are addressed in a systematic manner. The detailed preoperative orthoptic evaluation, centre specific treatment algorithm and the diverse expertise profile tries to provide the novel care here.
Resident training is one of the major programs at our centre. To impart quality diagnostic and surgical skills to budding surgeons, the strabismus section conducts regular wet lab exercises, the common as well as complex case scenarios are simulated in wet lab, and under the direct guidance of an expert the skills are transferred with monitored hands on surgical training. The residents regularly participate in state level and national level conferences to present centres work and innovations in the field of strabismus. Recognizing which many awards and recognitions have been conferred in last few years. To address the existing lacunae in clinical as well as basic research areas, novel surgical techniques, randomised controlled trials and multicentric trials are conducted here. The effect of atropine eye drops in halting myopia progression, signs of vascular anomalies in amblyopic eyes (on optical coherence tomography angiography) and newer surgical techniques to provide better care are currently being explored here. To improve training patterns the animal modules are also being created here. To address surgical limitations, newer surgeries in unusual types of strabismus, modifications in existing technique, and newer concepts are also being explored.

Assertive discoveries have been carried out during the past decade to explore the role of epigenetic mechanisms in regulating cellular phenotype. This regulation provides the software that packages DNA, and modifications in gene expression without changing the DNA sequence of a gene. These are called epigenetic alterations. These alterations include methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitylation of DNA and histone proteins (nucleosomes) as well as chromatin remodeling. "Epigenetics" refers to heritable changes in gene expression patterns without changing the primary DNA sequence. Technological advancements in genome-wide DNA sequencing, RNA sequencing for coding and non-coding expression patterns, DNA methylation and chromatin assay and assessment of all of the above with advanced bioinformatics tools are facilitating to delineate the cancer epigenome and permit key insights for developing personalized therapeutics. Our lab focuses on cancer epigenetics and is trying to decipher the epigenome regulation that may lead to the development of new epigenetic therapeutic drugs. The recent discovery of Cancer Testis/Germline (CT/CG) antigen expression in cancer suggests a strong link between gametogenesis and carcinogenesis.CG antigens can serve as biomarkers for cancer stem cells and potential targets in cancer metastatic processes as well as in the recurrence of cancer after chemotherapy. We are indulging in opening new avenues for novel Cancer Testis/Germline (CT/CG) POTE antigens to be used for cancer immunotherapy for treating gynecological cancer patients for better reproductive health. POTE (Prostate, Placenta, Ovary, and Testis-expressed) is a recently discovered gene family consisting of 14 autosomal and pericentromeric localized cancer-testis/germline antigen genes. The POTE paralogs gene family encodes proteins with cysteine-rich (CRR) domains, ankyrin repeat motifs, and α-helical regions. It is established that epigenetic mechanisms control the expression of CT/CG antigens. Epigenetic modulatory agents robustly promote the expression of CG antigens and the class-1 histocompatibility complex (MHCI).Thus, we emphasize the possible clinical use of epigenetic modulators to augment the immunotherapeutic potential of POTE family antigens and how this will ultimately improve cancer detection and treatment strategies.
Towards the mechanistic part, we are working on chromatin dynamics to be applied for answering key questions of alteration in pericentromeric localized gene expression during cancer. POTEs gene families are localized in pericentromeric regions, where duplicated genes are often abundant. Still, it is unclear how POTE paralogs escape pericentromeric repression and become expressed in cancer. Chromatin has a defined 3-D organization inside the nucleus, which guides gene expression. Although this 3D Genome organization is just recently being defined to the molecular levels, there is much to be answered in this area. Our lab is working to correlate the established molecular mechanisms for gene regulation e.g DNA methylation to be linked to the 3D genome organization inside the nucleus. It is known that there are several repressive compartments inside the nucleus where genes are dynamically located as a whole. Therefore what is the relation of epigenetic gene regulation to the gene localization and arrangement inside the nucleus? This is an inevitable question here. One such repressive compartment is nuclear lamina, where the associated sequences, called "Lamina-associated domains (LADs)" and "pericentromeric-associated domains (PADs)" are dynamically placed. We are trying to find factors responsible for these LADs /PADs formation and regulation to be applied for cancer biology. Altogether this is an entirely new area in the field of cancer biology, and studies are coming up with new fascinating facts; we are trying to be part of these strategies, with an ultimate goal to combat cancer.

The unit provides state of the art services in the field of cornea, cataract, and refractive surgery to patients from all over the country. A comprehensive resident training programme that comprises academic lectures, bed-side teaching, and stepwise surgical training is undertaken. Clinical research is given major importance and innovative techniques are constantly being developed to improve the clinical care of patients.
The unit offers various advanced, cutting-edge surgical techniques to treat cataract, corneal pathologies, and refractive errors at a minimal cost. High precision, bladeless femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) that uses laser to perform steps such as incision creation, capsulotomy, and nuclear fragmentation is also available. FLACS is particularly useful in challenging case scenarios such as white cataract where it helps create a circular, adequately sized capsulotomy, or advanced posterior polar cataract where the hybrid pattern of nucleotomy enhances surgical safety. The use of three-dimensional heads-up display microscopes (ARTEVO 800) is a novel addition to the cataract surgical armamentarium. It provides greater magnification and enhanced visibility of the surgical field as compared with the conventional binocular operating microscopes, thus facilitating better surgical outcomes. It is also a valuable tool in the pandemic era for teaching and demonstration of surgical techniques to trainee residents while adhering to social distancing norms.
The latest premium intraocular lenses are routinely being implanted, such as multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) and toric IOLs. Toric IOLs not only help in management of cases with high astigmatism but are also customized for specific cases such as corneal ectasia. Multifocal IOLs are also routinely implanted to cater to the needs of patients who wish to be spectacle free post-surgery.
The unit also provides highly specialised care to paediatric patients with cataract. Special emphasis is placed on timely surgical interventional and regular follow-up with proper amblyopia management to optimise visual outcomes.
The unit has a dedicated contact lens clinic conducted once a week, which caters to optical and cosmetic rehabilitation of a variety of cases, including corneal ectasia with irregular astigmatism, aphakia, corneal opacity and post-keratoplasty astigmatism. In cases of progressive corneal ectasia, corneal collagen crosslinking is done as a minimally invasive procedure to halt disease progression. Various customizations are available to cater to the individual needs of the patient like lenticule-assisted crosslinking and contact lens assisted crosslinking. Newer techniques like oxygen-assisted crosslinking are being evaluated to improve the efficacy of the procedure. Limbal stem cell transplantation is also done for management of limbal stem cell deficiency and ocular surface rehabilitation.
The residents are provided training in eye banking as well as performing keratoplasties. Newer specular microscopes available in the National Eye Bank aid in better assessment of the donor corneas. Hundreds of corneal transplantation surgeries are performed each year under the unit. Optical keratoplasties are done to provide sight to those who are disabled due to corneal opacities, while therapeutic keratoplasties are performed to debulk the infective load in patients presenting with recalcitrant corneal infections. Lamellar keratoplasty that involves the selective replacement of the diseased corneal tissue is also routinely performed. The newer automated microkeratomes have facilitated the creation of donor lenticules with increased precision, for use in both anterior lamellar and endothelial keratoplasties. The use of advanced microscopes with integrated optical coherence tomography (OCT) that allow in-vivo visualisation of donor and host cornea have enhanced the safety and precision of lamellar keratoplasty. Femtosecond laser is also being used for donor as well as host corneal tissue preparation during keratoplasty.
paediatric patients with cataract. Special emphasis is placed on timely surgical interventional and regular follow-up with proper amblyopia management to optimise visual outcomes.
The most advanced technology is used in refractive surgeries, with patients being offered all types of procedures including laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). Customized corneal laser refractive procedures that tailor the treatment based on the corneal topography or ocular wavefront profile are also offered to the patients. Different types of phakic IOLs are available to meet the need of the patients of all age groups, including Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL), Refractive Implantable Lens (RIL) and presbyopic phakic IOL.
The unit faculty members and senior residents have been enthusiastically involved in all the academic activities, teaching programmes, surgical skill training classes, research work and purpose-driven initiatives.

The unit provides comprehensive services for management of paediatric and adult cataracts, refractive errors (surgical management) vitreo-retinal disorders, strabismus and neuro-ophthalmic disorders. The unit runs many specialty clinics such as Lens clinic, Retina clinic, Uveitis clinic, Squint Clinic and Neuro-ophthalmology Clinic.
All kinds of paediatric cataract cases are seen and managed in the lens clinic. These include bilateral congenital cataracts, syndromic cataracts, metabolic, complicated and unilateral cataracts. Long term post operative care including needed refractive correction and amblyopia treatment is also provided. Complicated adult cataract cases, such as those with subluxated cataracts are also seen and managed. The lens clinic is run on every Thursday at 2pm for all lens cases dealing with both pediatric and complicated adult cataracts.
The unit also carries out state-of-the-art refractive procedures. It deals with all the refractive cases for correction of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. All modern cataract and refractive surgeries using the latest lasers like femtosecond LASIK, femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) are carried out at very nominal cost. Other refractive procedures such as ICL surgery, Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), and intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) are also performed as indicated.
The aim of the Retina clinic is to evaluate patients with medical and surgical retinal problems and plan their appropriate management. Certain key areas of specialization in medical retina are management of Diabetic Retinopathy, Age Related Macular Degeneration, Vascular Occlusions and Retinal Degenerations and Dystrophies. Surgical retina cases such as those with simple or complex retinal detachments, macular hole, intraocular foreign body and endophthalmitis etc are managed with most modern micro-incision vitreo-retinal surgical platforms. The surgeons of the unit are adept at managing all these complex cases using the latest microsurgical techniques and lasers. Laser treatment of various disorders and Anti-VEGF injections are also carried out in this unit. The retina clinic runs on two days i.e., Thursday and Friday from 2pm that caters to various new and old follow up cases related to retina.
The Uvea clinic deals with cases of intraocular inflammation. These could be of infective or autoimmune aetiology. Long term treatment strategies for these chronic disorders are worked out with the help of state-of-the-art ophthalmic diagnostic equipment. The uvea clinic runs on Monday from 2pm.
Simple and complex squint surgeries including inferior oblique, superior oblique surgeries and surgeries for nerve palsies are carried out in this unit. The squint clinic runs every Wednesday from 2 pm where various ocular motility disorders are diagnosed and advised for proper management. The unit also has a dedicated Neuro-ophthalmology clinic where referrals from different units and also other departments are evaluated, and appropriate management strategies implemented.
Quality post graduate education, training and research are our other focus areas. Regular assessments, academic exercises and group teaching exercises including ward rounds are carried out regularly for proper education and training of the residents.

We have worked on the genetics and immunology of pre-eclampsia and intra uterine growth restriction. We are developing new treatment modalities with respect to nitric oxide. We have published about seven original studies so far on this aspect. Her work on various aspect of complicated pregnancy has won three awards as mentioned above.
We are elucidating the biochemical, genetic and immunological host factors of tuberculosis in understanding disease pathophysiology and development of diagnostic biomarkers for identification of latent TB among household contacts. For the last seven years, we have been actively working on understanding the host factors like vitamin D, nitric oxide and iron regulatory proteins that could influence the pathophysiology of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) with respect to the latency of infection by studying closed household contacts of TB patients. We have completed one SERB funded project “Study of vitamin D receptor (VDR) and cathelicidin expression and their correlation with Fok1 VDR polymorphism in Tuberculosis” and established a cohort of 200 pulmonary TB patients and their household contacts studying these host factors which was published as three independent research articles (Scientific Reports 2019, J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol 2019 and Ind J Clin Biochem 2021).
We are also working on the adaptive immune responses and the genetic correlates in the household contacts of active pulmonary TB patients. It would be interesting to understand why some of the household contacts do not develop tuberculosis and what are the immunological basis for the same. Thus, the findings will add bulk to the global scientific library of tuberculosis regarding the same.
We are also interested in understanding why diabetic individuals are more prone to develop tuberculosis and are studying the role of macrophage effector function in hyperglycemia to understand the same. The article regarding this work has got recently accepted for publication in the European Journal of Immunology.
We are exploring various adjunct therapies for tuberculosis treatment.

Substance use has been Major challenge faced by health professionals and policymakers all across the world. The pattern of drug use varies from time to time depending on the availability of new illicit drugs. And increased witness of newer psychoactive substances. Called new psychoactive substances (NPS). Or in the form of preparations, that are not controlled under the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961 or the convention on psychotropic Substances of 1971, but that may pose a threat of public health.
A total of 1127 such substances have been identified by the national authorities and forensic laboratories from 134 countries.
In the above background, the present study was planned by the National Drug Dependence treatment center (NDDTC) at the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS), New Delhi, with objective to assess the extent and pattern of NPS use among treatment- seeking substance users and to develop and establish urine testing procedure for “New Psychoactive Substances” among treatment- seeking substance users. The study was supported by the department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, and Government of India.
This report is the first attempt in establishing objective evidence of the occurrence of NPS among treatment seekers in India. It is important to highlight that the current study began in 2017, and some of the compounds detected in patients’ urine samples were later placed under international control. A novel finding of this study is that some of the identified substances are currently not under international control.
This report addresses a mixed group of readers such as medicinal chemists, forensic scientists, toxicologists, clinicians, healthcare professional, law enforcement agencies, and policymakers. It is hoped that findings and recommendations form this report to ne informative and meaningful in addressing the challenges posed by newer psychoactive drug in the country. We recommend that future research and policy interventions should be geared toward addressing this emerging problem of the NPS.

Dr. Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences is an integral part of AIIMS and was created in 1967 as a National Institute of Ophthalmology within the precincts of the AIIMS to ensure maximized interdisciplinary benefits and holistic patient care. As the Apex Institution under the National Programme for Control of Blindness ( NPCB ), it was the first Centre of its kind started at the AIIMS more than 38 years ago, followed by the other super-speciality Centres later at the Institute. The diverse patient and therefore the ancillary work load at Dr. R. P. Centre (a WHO Collaborating Centre for Prevention of Blindness) has been steadily and continuously increasing especially so in the last few years with the advent and application of latest technologies in sophisticated investigative and operative ophthalmology so important for overall patient care, both in the erstwhile laboratories as well as in our newer facilities at the Centre. To promote research in all directions of Ophthalmology this centre is having super-specialty departments to support extensive basic and applied research in ophthalmic sciences.

National Survey on Extent and Pattern of Substance Use in India’ 2019
While psychoactive substance use often tends to be framed as a problem or menace in the public-health or social-welfare discourse, the exact dimensions of substance use in India have not been assessed adequately, so far. A wide variety of entities – policy makers, researchers, service-providers, law-enforcers – need reliable and credible estimates of how many people in India use addictive substances and how many of them suffer from substance use disorders.
This report presents the major findings of the survey in terms of proportion of Indian population using various substances and those affected by substance use disorders. Representing a culmination of efforts of a large number of organizations and individuals, this is the first attempt in the history of India to provide detailed estimates of substance use in the country as well at the level of each states. It should now be possible to answer the questions like, which states of the country has the largest population of people affected by drug use? Or which substance is consumed by most Indian people who use drugs? After providing a snap-shot of the intricate and robust scientific research methodology, we provide the results of the survey in terms of each of the major categories of psychoactive substances, at the national as well as at the level of states. We also provide a broad framework of recommendations on how should the country move ahead in terms of mounting an effective response to the drug use epidemic. This comprehensive survey had multiple components. Considering the complex phenomenon of substance use and its consequences a number of issues need to be explored and studied in depth.

In GBC, we are exploring the role of Nuclear Receptors in the pathophysiology of gallbladder cancer and its implication in the severity of the disease. We are also investigating tumor infiltrating lymphocytes in the same. In vitro study on gallbladder cancer cell lines alteration of different phenotypic properties like migration, invasion, proliferation, apoptosis etc following treatment with different drugs targeting nuclear receptors.
Placenta is a highly specialised multifaceted organ that supports the life of growing fetus throughout the pregnancy and also serves as a source of nutrient, gaseous and waste products exchange between the mother and the fetal circulation. During the course of gestation, the placenta undergoes multiple changes which are crucial for establishing a healthy pregnancy. Placental research is aimed to identify and analyse the effect of toxic pollutants such as Sulphur dioxide and Particulate matter on the trophoblast cells and thus pregnancy. A part of my research work also warrants to identify the transgenerational effect of these pollutants on the fetal health and growth which would be achieved by performing in-silico analysis and animal experiments.

Currently, she is working as a PhD student under the guidance of Dr. Subhradip Karmakar, Additional Professor, Department of Biochemistry, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. She is a registered Ph.D scholar of Amity University, Noida, Uttar Pradesh. Her tentative thesis is entitled as “To Investigate the Role of Reactive Oxygen Species in Development of Pre-eclampsia”. Pre- eclampsia is a leading cause of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity and is usually diagnosed during the last trimester of pregnancy (after 20 weeks of gestation). During Pre-eclampsia, trophoblast cell migration and invasion into the maternal decidua, and vessels are typically incomplete, and thus angiogenesis and trophoblast cell proliferation are impaired. The shallow trophoblastic invasion induces placental ischemic reperfusion injury due to irregular uterine blood flow which results in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Therefore, her hypothesis is that excessive ROS generation along with an alteration of cytokine and hormonal levels in the uterine microenvironment, might contribute to the pathogenesis of Pre-eclampsia. Ms. Indrani was also awarded with CSIR-Senior Research Fellowship in the year 2019 and served as the Cultural Secretary of Society of Young Scientists (SYS), AIIMS, New Delhi, for the year 2020-2021.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is a chronic, autoimmune disease with wide clinical presentation. Lupus widely affects many organs and system with no cure.

Philosophy of community-based treatment
Community based drug treatment approach is a key strategy to reach out to individuals using alcohol and/or drugs, afflicted families and vulnerable groups who may not be able to avail these facilities on account of difficulty in access, social stigma and other factors. The advantage of community-based treatment is that treatment is available at the doorstep and flexibility can be maintained in delivery of services. It also facilitates family and community participation. Community based drug treatment is provided on an outpatient basis, and is managed with minimal staff with a ‘low threshold’ approach. The treatment services are located closer to the community, which makes it easy for the community to access the services needed for individuals in-need.
Treatment goals
The goals of these services are:

Another new initiative at the Sunder Nagari Community, New Delhi is a Methadone Maintenance Treatment (MMT) clinic. This was initially a part of the project “Methadone Maintenance Treatment in India: A multi-site feasibility and effectiveness study” started. This treatment service has been initiated in India in August 2012 in five government hospitals (NDDTC, AIIMS; Civil Hospital Kapurthala; Civil Hospital, Bathinda; King Edward Memorial (KEM) Hospital, Mumbai and Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Imphal) with support from United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). This multi-site initiatives being coordinated by the National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre (NDDTC), AIIMS. MMT increases the treatment option for opioid dependent patients as this medication has been widely used across the world as an effective treatment and HIV risk reduction strategy. Through this initiative, procedures required for scale-up of Methadone Maintenance Treatment in the country will be documented.
The MMT clinic at Sunder Nagari has since been functional since August 2012. The clinic is located in the premises of a community marriage hall managed by the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB). A doctor and MSSO are available for two days a week. The staff nurse, on the other hand, is available for all the days of the week, including Sundays, for dispensing of medicines at the clinic. Other ancillary staff is available on weekdays, while a guard is posted round-the-clock in the clinic premises.
Opioid dependent patients who require long-term agonist medication are catered to in this clinic. The doctor conducts assessment of the patients for their suitability to methadone, and prescribes methadone. Methadone is dispensed as a liquid by the nursing staff. The patients have to visit the clinic daily for their dose of methadone. The counselor conducts psychosocial assessment, motivation enhancement, family intervention, relapse prevention, psycho-education, and home visits, as required.

The broad research focus of my laboratory is on different aspects of lipid metabolism in cancer and obesity. Some of our research revolves around the role of ABCA1, involved in lipid efflux, in maintaining adipocyte homeostasis in obesity since we observed a lower gene expression of this transporter in the visceral adipose tissue of obese individuals. We are looking at pathways related to adipocyte ABCA1 and some lipid species like ceramides that could drive insulin resistance in obesity. We have also studied HDL’s function and quality concerning its key physiological roles i.e., in reverse cholesterol transport, antioxidative capacity, endothelial reactivity etc. We aim to understand the implications of changes in the quality of various HDL-associated molecules such as ApoA1 and Sphingosine-1-phosphate. Our cancer research focuses on analysing various aspects of metabolic reprogramming in pediatric B-ALL. We have recently found inter-tumor heterogeneity in the expression of lipid metabolism enzymes like ACSM3, and ACSL1 among pediatric B-ALL cases and we are planning to apply various approaches to understand the biological implications of this differential expression. Other avenues of interest include bioenergetics, mitochondrial biogenesis and factors regulating mitochondrial DNA copy number in leukemia.
The nutrition research in the lab extends into both the biochemical and public health domains in the context of the dietary quality and nutritional status of indigenous tribal communities of India. Our work among these communities encompasses food systems sustainability research and I am a collaborator on a recently awarded Team Science Grant on this theme in which my role is to develop successful diagnostic technologies for micronutrient assessment that can be feasible and cost-effective for assessing micronutrient status in these vulnerable communities. My interest extends to exploring the nutrient profiles of unique indigenous varieties of foods like mushrooms and indigenous rice varieties. We have also recently started work on a collaborative project with the Department of Cardiology and TGI, India for understanding the effect of foods on inflammatory biomarkers among CAD patients.
We are ably supported in our research work by experienced and sincere laboratory technicians. We are an enthusiastic research group, promoting collaborative work with various departments at AIIMS and between Institutes like IGIB and TGI, India. We endeavour to publish and disseminate our work across the global research community.
In keeping with our interest in metabolism, we enjoy experimenting with various cuisines and enjoy varied culinary experiences to rejuvenate ourselves occasionally.
We have a vibrant and enthusiastic team in the lab that is always striving to enhance their academic and extra-curricular skills.
Positions Available: Expected in January 2024.

Dr. Khushboo Irshad completed her PhD at the Department of Biochemistry, AIIMS, New Delhi, in 2013 under the supervision of Prof. Kunzang Chosdol, Prof. Subrata Sinha and Prof. P. Chattopadhyay. Her thesis involved the study of correlation between hypoxia and Notch signaling pathway in glioblastoma and identification of a combined gene signature to predict the survival of glioblastoma patients. Her work derived a key prognostic molecular cluster characteristic of the Notch pathway response in hypoxic glioblastoma tumors and gliomasphere cultures (PLoS One (2015); 10(3):e0118201; felicitated with AIIMS Excellence Research Award-2015 that was awarded to Prof. Chosdol). Presently, her research focuses on deciphering the role of FAT1, a novel gene implicated in glioma, in regulating the hallmark features of glioma like stemness and invasiveness, as well as in maintenance of the balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory signaling in glioma. She was awarded the DST-SERB Start-Up Research Grant in March 2016, for the project aimed at elucidation of FAT1 function in modulating pro-inflammatory signaling and anti-inflammatory / immunosuppressive signaling pathways in glioma.

(iii) Dual Diagnosis Clinic (Substance Use Disorder and Psychiatric Illness)
Tobacco Cessation Clinic (TCC) (Faculty in-charge:Dr. S. Jhanjee; Dr.PrabhuDayal; Dr Gauri ShankerKaloiya)
Tobacco is a powerfully addictive drug and is a major preventable cause of
morbidity and mortality. A focused approach on tobacco cessation greatly
helps patients to quit this harmful addiction. To help patients quit tobacco use, NDDTC offers Tobacco cessation clinic in the OPD on every Monday at 9.00 A.M. This clinic offers pharmacotherapy, psycho-education and counseling services.
Adolescent Clinic (Faculty in-charge:Dr. Anju Dhawan; Dr Rachana Bhargava; DrBiswadip Chatterjee; DrPiyali Mandal)
A growing number of adolescents are falling prey to substance use. Since this group of population has special treatment needs the centre offers a specialty clinic the Adolescent Drug Use Clinic, every Tuesday at 9:00 AM in the OPD.
Dual Diagnosis Clinic (Faculty in-charge: Dr. Rakesh Lal; Dr. Yatan Pal Singh Balhara; Dr Siddharth Sarkar)
Many people who are dependent on psychoactive drugs suffer simultaneously from mental (psychiatric) disorders. “Dual Diagnosis” is the term commonly used to describe this group of patients. Since this group has special needs for treatment, a specialty clinic is functional to cater to this group of patients, every Wednesday at 9:00 AM at NDDTCOPD
Women Clinic (Faculty-in-charge: Dr AtulAmbekar; DrPiyali Mandal)
Substance use disorders are increasingly being recognized among women. Keeping in mind the special needs of women substance users a clinic has been started at NDDTCOPD on Saturdays from 9:00 am onwards.
Behavioural Addictions Clinic (BAC) (Faculty in-charge: Dr. Yatan Pal Singh Balhara; Dr Rachana Bhargava)
The Behavioral Addictions Clinic (BAC) is aimed at catering to those experiencing behavioral addictions. This includes various conditions including Internet addiction, (video) gaming addiction, smartphone addiction, screen addiction, excessive use of social media, pathological gambling among others. The clinic offers treatment services for the behavioral addictions and the co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders that are commonly observed in this population.
Dual Diagnosis Clinic at AIIMS, New Delhi campus (Faculty in-charge: Dr. Yatan Pal Singh Balhara)
The Dual Diagnosis Clinic is aimed at catering to the needs of those suffering from co-occurring disorders. This includes those who have medical disorder or psychiatric disorder in addition to the substance use (addictive) disorders. Some of the commonly seen co-occurring disorders in the clinic include alcoholic liver disease, diabetes, viral hepatitis, cancers, depression, anxiety disorders, psychosis, co-occurring with alcohol, cannabis, opioids (heroin and prescription opioids), tobacco and benzodiazepine use disorders. The clinic offers medicine based (pharmacological) as well as psycho-social treatment for the co-occurring disorders.

HIV Immunology: Coevolution of virus and antibody responses, generation and characterization of human recombinant anti-HIV-1 monoclonal antibodies
HIV-1 is a complex virus with a remarkable ability to protect itself from our intricate network of immune system. This is achieved by masking itself from the immune recognition by acquiring the host proteins or by escaping the humoral response by virtue of its extraordinary ability to mutate. This leads to generation of diverse strains of HIV-1 virus, making the treatment and prevention a complicated process. More than 90% of the HIV-1 infections in India are caused by clade C viruses. Our lab focuses on studying various aspects of HIV-1 infection which includes:
HIV-1C primary isolates generated in our lab from select infected children showed resistance to neutralization by majority of the known second generation bNAbs (Makhdoomi et al,Virology2016). We followed up antiretroviral naïve chronically infected children and mapped their plasma for presence of bnAbs (Makhdoomi et al.J Gen Virol. 2017 Jul;98(7):1879-189) and identified a pair of identical twins AIIMS_329 and AIIMS_330. The plasma from both donors showed the evolvement of bnAbs targeting common epitopes in the V2 and V3 regions of the envelope, suggesting bnAb development in these twins may perhaps be determined by specific sequences in the shared virus that can guide development of immunogens aimed at eliciting V2 and V3 bNAbs. Characterization of the neutralization sensitive and resistant viruses coevolving with bNAbs in the contemporaneous AIIMS_330 plasma provides information towards understanding viral alterations that may have contributed to the development of resistance to bnAbs. (Mishra N. J Virolhttps://doi.org/10.1128/JVI.00654-19).
Our work on circulating HIV-1 in perinatally infected infants defined viral factors associated with early bnAb responses, supportive of polyvalent vaccination approaches capable of inducing bnAbs against HIV-1 (Mishra N. Nat.Commun.,2020) 11:4409https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-18225-x). As in the case of monozygotic twins, we identified that the antibody response in infants primarily targets the V2 region of HIV-1, making it an attractive target for immunogen design to elicit antibodies.
Using the high throughput technology of HIV-1 specific single B cell sorting, we isolated a bNAb AIIMS-P01 from a pediatric elite neutralizer (Kumar et al,JVI, 2019). This mAb has shown 67% breadth at a potency of 0.5 µg/ml, and shows good neutralizing activity against Indian clade C viruses and needs to be tested in future for in vivo protection against HIV-1 infection.
Recently, we generated and structurally analyzed a heavy chain matured linage antibody 44m of the parental anti-HIV-1 human monoclonal AIIMS P01, that demonstrated improved neutralization potential against globally diverse viruses, as compared to the parent antibody (Kumar Set al. iScience. 2023)
During the COVID-19 pandemic, neutralizing antibodies have been shown to be a critical feature of recovered patients. Given the unique nature of HIV-1 bnAbs and their ability to recognize and/or accommodate viral glycans, we reasoned that the glycan shield of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can be targeted by HIV-1 specific bnAbs. We showed that HIV-1 specific monoclonal antibodies as well as polyclonal plasma antibodies cross-react and neutralize SARS-CoV-2. (Mishra N. PLoS Pathog 2021. 17(9): e1009958 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1009958.

Antara Malik, PhD scholar:
Ms. Antara Malik is a fifth year PhD student currently working in the lab of Dr. Kalpana Luthra. Primarily, her thesis work is aimed at understanding the status of the immune responses and the role of macrophages and T cells in the immunopathology of Chronic Pancreatitis. The second part of her thesis work involves theelucidation of metabolic alterations associated with the progression of Chronic Pancreatitis.
She completed her Masters in Biotechnology from Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi. Her master’s dissertation was conducted in NIPGR (National Institute of Plant Genome Research), New Delhi where her project work involved cloning of Sucrose Transporters and Expression Analysis of Genes in Rice plants. She graduated in Biochemistry (Hons.) from University of Delhi.
Research Focus of the Lab:
Apart from the ongoing research work involving HIV-1, Prof. Kalpana Luthra has also collaborated with Prof. Pramod K. Garg, Department of Gastroenterology and the group recently started working on Chronic Pancreatitis.
Chronic Pancreatitis is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas which results in the slow destruction of pancreatic parenchyma, severe abdominal pain, subsequent fibrosis leading to poor quality of life. The mechanism of inflammation, tissue destruction and fibrosis is not well understood.
Patients commonly experience recurrent exacerbations with painful attacks interspersed by relatively quiescent phases. Also, some patients present with chronic continuous pain. This may be driven by either or both innate and adaptive immune responses on which there are several contradictory studies/lacunae in the existing literature.
Hereby, there arises a need to understand the inflammatory processes in Chronic Pancreatitis with regard to the initiating and effector cells that are involved, and the inflammatory mediators driving the process. The translational significance lies in the possibility of repurposing some of the known anti-inflammatory/immunosuppressive drugs that may be tested in these patients.
Post her Masters, she continued as a JRF in NIPGR, where she was working on the characterization of tissue specific expression pattern of PIF transcription factors in rice and tomato plants in response to high temperature, drought and salt stress via quantitative PCR and generation of PIF regulatory network via transcriptome profiling of over expression and knock out/down lines using RNA Seq librarypreparation.
Further, she joined IARI (Indian Agricultural Research Institute), New Delhi as a JRF where her project was based on the integration of plant and parasite omics to decipher the interactions and identify molecular targets for the management of root knot disease of rice.
Later on, she shifted her research focus to human sciences and joined Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Center for Biomedical Research (ACBR), University of Delhi as a JRF where she was studying the genetic polymorphism of Growth Differentiation Factor15 (GDF15) in patients with Coronary Artery Disease in Asian Indian population followed by the differential expression of GDF15 in these patients at mRNA and protein level.

The Department of Biochemistry was set up when the Institute was established as a center of national importance for teaching, research and patient care in 1956 by an Act of Parliament. The department is globally recognized for its quality of teaching (undergraduate, postgraduate), medical research, patient care, and training. We conduct lectures and practical exercises for the under (MBBS)- and post (MD)-graduate medical, basic and applied courses (M.Sc., M. Biotechnology) as well as undergraduate Nursing (B.Sc.) classes. In undergraduate teaching we employ innovative teaching techniques such as Problem Based Learning. The postgraduate (M.D., M.Sc.) and doctoral (Ph.D.) candidates undertake their thesis work under the supervision of the faculty. A recent development is the conduct of practical classes for the D.M. program (Medical genetics). Our department is located on the third floor of the Old teaching block and the fourth floor of the Convergence block. Our laboratories (UG, PG) are well equipped and can accommodate several students simultaneously. We have several central/shared instrumentation rooms which the faculty, residents and students utilize for research, teaching and training activities. Presentations, are regularly held in the demonstration- and seminar-rooms.

Our faculty actively participates in mentoring undergraduates (ICMR-Short term studentship, AIIMS undergraduate mentorship program, KVPY). Undergraduate students are also actively encouraged to join the faculty as part of their summer fellowship.
The research work of the faculty is diverse and includes classical Biochemistry in association with “omics’-based protocols and analytics. A detailed introduction to each faculty member’s research work and laboratory is available at their individual URLs. A generic classification of the current faculty includes biochemical and immunological alterations during cancer progression (Kunzang Chosdol, Subhradip Karmakar, Jayanth Kumar, Ashok Sharma, Riyaz Mir, Pramod Gautam), infection, inflammation and immunological mechanisms (Alpana Sharma, Kalpana Luthra, Archana Singh, Ashok Sharma, Pragyan Acharya), nanoparticles and drug-delivery systems (Parthaprasad Chattopadhyay), metabolic and nutritional basis of obesity (Archna Singh, Rakhee Yadav), stem cell biology (Sudip Sen), mathematical and computational analysis of biochemical systems (Siddhartha Kundu). Faculty members are encouraged to participate in collaborative work.
The department has initiated a Guest Lecture Series wherein external faculty members who have made significant contribution(s) to their research domains are invited to present and discuss their work with faculty members, students and research fellows. The presentations are meant to be informal, interactive and informative and the speakers are encouraged to share their scientific journey with the attendees. Several prominent scientists such as Sivaprakash Ramalingam (IGIB, New Delhi), Pawan Dhar (JNU, New Delhi), Arpan Banerjee (NBRC, New Delhi), Soumen Basak (NII, New Delhi), Sheetal Gandotra (IGIB, New Delhi), Sujatha Sunil (ICGEB, New Delhi), Rama Akondy (Ashoka University, New Delhi), Raviraj Venkalaya (IIT, Jodhpur), Bushra Ateeq (IIT Kanpur), Manidipa Banerjee (IIT Delhi) have already done so. Our students and faculty have also benefitted from interactions with speakers such as Prof. Anil K Bamezai (Villanova University, USA), Drs.Vijay Reddy Peddareddigari, Imran Khan (Bristol Myers Squibb) and Vivek TN (IGIB, New Delhi).
The curricula is vibrant with regular opportunities for students to interact with faculty and other members. These include journal club presentations and seminars. Newly enrolled students (M.D., M.Sc.) undergo a departmental rotation with all faculty members. They are then required to join a faculty under whose supervision they will work on a research problem, present their protocol and submit their dissertation. Several new modules have been introduced for the newly enrolled students. These include microteaching (innovative teaching methods, problem-based learning), an introduction to “R”-driven data analytics and soft-skill training. Additionally, the students are examined for their proficiency in general Biochemistry through regular assessments. The Ph.D. program, includes course work which is spread over two semesters. This is composed of didactic classes and includes generalized and specialized Biochemistry, biomedical waste management, ethics, and Biostatistics. Practical training via hands-on laboratory work is practiced. This is aimed at orienting and equipping the scholars with the knowledge and means to undertake full-time research work. The scholars are issued a completion certificate at the end of this.

Desh Ka Prakriti Parikshan Abhiyan : Transforming Healthcare with Ayurveda
All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi joins the ‘Desh Ka Prakriti Parikshan Abhiyan’ to help employees and patients understand their unique Prakriti and adopt personalized preventive health practices.
The Centre for Integrative Medicine and Research (CIMR) at AIIMS, New Delhi, initiated the Desh Ka Prakriti Parikshan Abhiyan (DKPP), a visionary campaign launched by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on October 29, 2024. This initiative, led by the Ministry of Ayush, aims to identify individuals' unique mind-body constitutions, known as Prakriti and provide customized health recommendations, encompassing diet, sleep, and exercise, for health promotion and disease prevention.
This campaign at CIMR, AIIMS, New Delhi was inaugurated by Dr. M. Srinivas, Director, who became the lead participant in the Prakriti assessment drive. A total of 4,500 plus Prakriti assessments were accomplished. The campaign’s success is attributed to guidance and leadership of Dr. Gautam Sharma, Professor, Dept. of Cardiology, Founder and Professor In-charge of CIMR, AIIMS, New Delhi.
CIMR Ayurveda physicians have conducted the Prakriti assessments of AIIMS patients, staff and citizens of Delhi-NCR in association with CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (IGIB) and the All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA), New Delhi. Participants were educated on the significance of Prakriti in personalized healthcare, highlighting its role in disease prevention and holistic well-being.
AIIMS has been integrating Prakriti-based research into clinical practices for over five years. Studies conducted include assessments of post-CABG patients, multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica cases, and bronchial asthma patients.
The Desh Ka Prakriti Parikshan Abhiyan demonstrates India’s innovative approach to healthcare by integrating Ayurveda with digital technology acting as a cornerstone to a global research in near future by generating valuable scientific data.

The electron microscopy facility (Sophisticated Analytical Instrumentation Facility-New Delhi, supported by DST-SAIF program) conducts national training programs on biological electron microscopy for
1. Scientific investigators (PhD/MD and MSc students in life sciences with 2-3 years of research experience after joining a PhD program; November-December, 12 days) and
2. Summer training for Laboratory technicians, graduate and postgraduate students and scientists working in Govt. recognised Institutions/ National Laboratories (May-June,1 month).
The aim of both training is to provide with the detailed hands-on comprehensive technical knowledge on the tissue preparation, ultramicrotomy, imaging, and elemental detection under transmission and scanning electron microscope, and tissue antigen localisation under transmission electron microscope (Immunogold electron microscopy).
Cancer Registry is an institution which is responsible for the collection, storage, analysis and interpretation of data on persons with cancer.
Cancer Registration is a process of continuing, systematic collection of data on the occurrence, characteristics and outcome of reportable neoplasms with the purpose of helping to assess and control the impact of malignant disease in the community. Broadly there are two types of cancer Registries-Population Based (PBCR) and Hospital Based (HBCR).
The HBCR records all cases of cancer treated in a given hospital irrespective of the population from which the cases has come. The main interest is clinical care in hospital setting.
The primary concern of PBCR is cancer in the community. The PBCR collects information on all new cancer in a defined population and provide information on cancer incidence, mortality and trends over time in the defined population/geographic area covered by the registry.
The Delhi Cancer Registry is a Population Based Cancer Registry established in January 1986 with the aim of obtaining reliable morbidity and mortality data on cancer occurring among the Delhi Urban residents.
The Delhi PBCR covers an urban area of 1113.65 square kilometers of Delhi Municipal Corporation, New Delhi Municipal Committee and Delhi Cantonment and 29 census towns with a population of 16,368,899 (Males : 8,761,005, Females:7,607,894) as per 2011 census.
The sources of cancer data are various departments viz. Radiotherapy, Pathology, Hematology, Radiology and Medical records of more than 175 major Government hospital centers, 250 private hospitals and nursing homes and Department of Vital Statistics of New Delhi Municipal Committee and Delhi Municipal Corporation.
The Delhi Cancer Registry also established Hospital Based Cancer Registry (HBCR) at Dr. BRAIRCH, AIIMS, New Delhi as an extra mural research project under National Cancer Registry Programme funded by National Center for Disease Informatics and Research, ICMR, Bangalore since 2014.

Cancer is emerging as a major public health problem globally. As per WHO GLOBOCAN 2020, 1.32 million new cases of cancer are detected each year in India and 0.85 million succumb to this deadly disease. Cancer treatment requires a multimodal management approach. Surgery is one of the main modalities for treating cancer and 90 % of cancer patients need some surgical intervention. The surgical specialty dealing with cancer management is known as Surgical Oncology.
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Institute Rotary Cancer Hospital (Dr. BRA-IRCH), AIIMS, New Delhi was established in the year 1984 with an aim to provide comprehensive cancer care services in Northern India. Dedicated surgical oncology services were started in 1988 and subsequently a 20 bedded surgical Oncology ward with major OT and ICU were built with a philanthropic donation by Shri Kanhayalal Punj. Prof NK Shukla was the first faculty to initiate cancer surgical services and Dr. SVS Deo joined as second faculty in 1995. The unit was recognized as an independent Department of Surgical Oncology in the year 2001 and IRCH was expanded to a 182 bedded comprehensive cancer center with 46 Surgical beds, 6 bedded ICU and 3 major Operation theaters in 2005. MCh Surgical Oncology program was started in 2012. The department took a leadership role in the planning and establishment of state of art surgical oncology services at National Cancer Institute (NCI) Jhajjar and started cancer surgical services at NCI in 2019.Currently the department has 10 faculty members,18 MCh trainees and 12 Senior residents.
The three major activities of the department include Patient Care, Teaching & Training and Research.
The department leads in introducing advanced and cutting edge surgical programs including Minimally Invasive Surgery (Lap & VATS), Peritoneal Surface Malignancies (Cytoreductive Surgery, HIPEC & PIPAC), Oncoplastic & Microvascular surgery, Risk Reducing Surgery, Navigational Surgery, Organ Conservation and Intra-operative Radiation Therapy and Palliative Surgical Oncology at AIIMS.
Teaching and Training: The department runs MCh Surgical Oncology program, which is one of the leading and popular MCh programs in India. In addition, the department offers long term and short-term training to general surgeons. The department has trained more than 150 cancer surgeons during last 25 years, who are in leadership positions in different parts of the country.
Research : The faculty members of the department are actively engaged in a number of collaborative basic and clinical research projects including multicentric international trials. The department has developed a computerized comprehensive oncology clinical data base and currently has comprehensive clinical data related to more than 10,000 cancer patients operated in the department. The faculty has published more than 300 scientific papers in prestigious national and international journals.
Other Activities: The faculty of the department are actively involved as members, experts and advisors for various organizations and scientific bodies like NBE, ICMR, DBT, DS, Ministry of Health, IASO, ISPSM, ABSI and BSI. The department regularly conducts workshops and organizes major conferences (ICC 2013, NATCON 21, ABSICON18 and INDO-UK Oncoplasty course, ISPSM-ESSO cadaver courses on CRS & HIPEC etc).

The department is actively engaged in teaching, research and patient care activities since its inception (1965). Various radiotherapy services offered to the patients are External beam radiotherapy, brachytherapy, stereo-tactic radiotherapy (SRT) and intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) Every year Approximately 4000 new patients consult department for various treatments by radiotherapy and nearly 10,000 patients are on follow up after treatment by the departments. etc. New patients are usually registered on referral after pathological confirmation of neoplasm/malignancy. The department has the comprehensive set up for treatment of various cancers, in combination with surgery and chemotherapy. This department has post-graduate programme (MD in Radiothearpy) and doctoral programme (Ph-D).
Radiology unit at Dr BRAIRCH was established in 1983 with x-ray and mammography facility. It has gradually expanded since then. This was the first facility in AIIMS to acquire ultrasound, whole body CT scan, mammography and multidetector CT. This unit provides diagnostic and interventional radiology services to all clinical units of Dr BRAIRCH.
Department of Medical Oncology excels in clinical, teaching and research activities. From its inception in 1984, work-load has consistently increased: currently out of about 70,000 cases registered at IRCH per year, medical oncology manages about 37,000 by itself. In addition, medical oncology department is involved in patient care services in different clinics – including breast, Gastroenterology, Head & Neck Surgery & ENT, Pediatric oncology, Pediatric Surgery, lung cancer, ophthalmic Ca, Bone & soft tissue & Urology clinic. It has a very busy day care service where around 60 patients are managed per day. In addition, patients are admitted in the regular ward also, more than 7000 patients get chemotherapy on an outpatient basis and OPD based procedures are carried out 3 times a week.
Medical Oncology department is running a DM and PhD programme
This department has its own laboratory where many of the technologies such as RT- PCR, FISH, cytogenetics, tissue culture, and Flowcytometry etc. have already been standardized. Stem cell storage is carried out; routinely also blood component therapy is provided with the help of cell separator.
This is one of the few centres in the country to have established hematopoietic stem cell transplant programme. About 350 transplants have already been carried out to treat malignant and non-malignant hematological disorders. In collaboration with Department of CTVS, stem cell transplant program has been extended to treat myocardial Ischemia also. Currently, phase II studies are also being performed in collaboration with Dr. R.P. Centre and paediatric surgery to explore role of stem cells in the treatment of Retinitis pigmentosa and spina bifida.
We have also investigated an alternative source of hematopoietic stem cells namely fetal liver. Here in, we have demonstrated the secretion of certain cytokines which induce recovery in aplastic anemia patients.In addition, Department has spearheaded a program to reach out to the communities for cancer awareness and cancer detection. Doctors and paramedical staff of neighbouring states and Delhi have been trained. Screening program for common cancers in Urban slum dwellers have been conducted and over 10,000 people have been screened.
Medical Oncology has been actively working with various NGO’s to increase cancer awareness in schools and in the communities. Medical oncology faculty has been participating in many Continuing education programs/workshops/symposia conducted by Medical Oncology on various topics regularly over the last several years including hemato-oncology, cancer screening and awareness, lung cancer, cancer team management, colorectal cancers, hematopoietic stem cell transplants etc. Many of these program were funded by WHO.
Medical Oncology has also taken the initiative to carry out research in our traditional methods, namely Pranayam, yoga, meditation and Sudershan Kriya. Research has shown beneficial effects of these techniques on brain, endocrine system and immune system. Antioxidant defence also improved following these practices. International Symposium was organized in 2002 at AIIMS to discuss these findings. Several faculty from within and outside country made their presentations, program was attended by more than 1000 participants. An International Conference on ‘Expanding Paradigms: Science, Consciousness and Spirituality’ was also organized in February, 2006 at New Delhi on this subject. Several faculty members within and outside country made their presentations and there were approximately 1500 participants.
Medical Oncology has also investigated the role of antioxidant vitamins to treat lung cancer. This is a rather innovative area of research; part of the work has already been published.
Medical Physics Unit at IRCH is looking after radiation related research in medical imaging, image quality in mammography, CT scan, ultrasound, radiography, fluoroscopy and angiography, radiation dosimetry in patient in imaging, reduction of dose without compromising diagnostic information, radiation protection and measurement of radiation dose to staff and attendants, irradiation of blood bag before blood transfusion to patients, radiation protection survey for radiological imaging installation (CT scanner, x-rays, mammography) all over AIIMS, Quality Assurance of medical film processors, darkrooms, x-ray units, x-ray reporting rooms, film illuminators and continuous quality improvement in radiological services to patients and doctors. Our activity includes staff and public education regarding radiation safety, besides imparting knowledge (in form of regular classes) in the field of Medical Physics and Radiation Safety to MD (radiology), MBBS students, B.Sc. Radiography, Human biology students, nursing students and other interested groups and individuals- which includes trainees from other hospitals not only from India but abroad as well. The unit provides consultation in any untoward accidental radiation exposure to patient, public or staff. Our endeavour make radiation installations safe for public, staff and public for which there is a great concern now-a-days. Optimisation and maximum utilization of images and development of ways to reduce patient and public radiation doses are going to be touch-stone for comparison of services provided by different hospitals in medical imaging. Medical Physics Unit, therefore, is working for quality in medical imaging at AIIMS.
The Laboratory Oncology Unit is the laboratory division of the Dr. BRAIRCH. It was started in October 1991, in order to give the IRCH its own laboratory so as to meet its highly specialized laboratory needs in the best possible manner. This was formalized by including a laboratory devoted exclusively to cancer, in the IRCH Development Plan of 1992-93. Its focus so far, mainly, but not exclusively, has been Hemato-oncopathology.
Starting from hemogram, bone marrow and peripheral blood smear studies in 1992, laboratory has grown multidimensional with new investigations being introduced at regular intervals. Multi-parametric flowcytometry with emphasis on minimal residual disease detection, Molecular studies including state of art molecular cytogenetics using array CGH and next-generation sequencing and Multiple Myeloma laboratories of this department are some of the unique laboratory sections of this department.
The laboratory conducts around 1,11,831 tests per year. Due to its fast and expert handling of difficult and challenging cases and because of some expertise being uniquely available here, Laboratory Oncology serves as referral laboratory not only for IRCH, but for other departments and Centers of the AIIMS main hospital.

Research Focus: Pain arising from burn injury is a devastating experience for patients. Results of our research in rodents show that blocking the B2 subtype of bradykinin receptor produces significant relief from burn-induced pain. An attempt to test this alternative hypothesis in a clinical trial to be conducted in the largest burn unit in the country could not be done, due to lack of funds. Other putative drugs, which have shown efficacy in rodents are the cannabinoid type 1 receptor and the somatostatin type 2A receptor agonist. These could relieve specific parameters of pain like pain-at-rest but not touch-induced allodynia.

Institute Rotary Cancer Hospital (DR. B.R.A. Institute Rotary Cancer Hospital) started functioning in 1983-84 on 35 beds with infrastructure of 2 floors. Recently it has been converted into a 200 bedded, 7th floor building. Prime Minister of India Sh. Atal Bihari Vajpayee, inaugurated this centre on October 5, 2003.
Best of radiodiagnostic and radiotherapy machines including state of art linear accelerator, brachytherapy, stereotactic radiotherapy and intensity modulated radiotherapy are available at this centre. Vaccum assisted advanced mammography unit, first of its kind in India, has made stereotactic breast biopsy possible. Prostate cancer can be diagnosed at an early stage with help of tranrectal sextant biopsy. Radio frequency ablation of liver cancer has also been initiated.
DR. B.R.A. Institute Rotary Cancer Hospital is one of the few centres in the country to have established hematopoietic stem cell bone marrow transplant programme; more than 250 transplants have been performed. In collaboration with dept. of CTVS, stem cell transplant programme has been extended to treat myocardial ischemia also.
Medical Oncology has established modern techniques utilizing FISH and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to prognosticate cancer patients. Also, innovative research by this department has demonstrated the liberation of hematopoietic cytokines from fetal liver, with the potential to treat aplastic anemia. This department has researched into our ancient wisdom also and has discovered that combination of yoga, pranayam, meditation and sudershan kriya-a rhythmic breating process induces positive changes in brain. These processes enhance antioxidant defence and immune functions of body, and thus may prevent onset and/or progression of cancer.
Preventive oncology programme to bring awareness about cancer masses has been initiated, also screening programme to detect cancer early, over 10,000 people have been screened so far.

Dr Deepak Agrawal completed his neurosurgical residency training from All India Institute of Medical Sciences, following which he did year long fellowship training in endoscopic and pediatric neurosurgery under Prof Steinbok in Vancouver, Canada. He returned back to India to join AIIMS as faculty.
Dr Agrawal has received training in Gamma-Knife surgery and is a part of the gamma-knife team at AIIMS. He is also trained in stereotactic and image guided neurosurgery and is credited for indigenization of a key component of image-guided neurosurgery which has resulted in more than 99% savings in the cost of disposables used in image-guidance
Dr Agrawal has a keen interest in research and has been instrumental in securing the ‘DST-FIST’ grant for the department of neurosurgery at AIIMS. He is presently involved in a multinational, muticentric shunt registry and in an autopsy study on diffuse axonal injury which is funded by AIIMS. He has won several national and international awards for his research and has more than 10 chapters in neurosurgical texts and more than 50 publications (including 15 original research articles) which have been published in international publications. His specific research interests are shunt infection and pathogenesis of severe head injury.

The Centre for Integrative Medicine and Research is a pioneering initiative by AIIMS, New Delhi in the quest for convergence of contemporary medicine with India’s ancient and traditional medical practices. The centre at the premier institute of the country shall be dedicated to research, documentation and delivery of holistic healthcare. It has been envisioned as a “state of the art” research centre where top experts from various disciplines of contemporary medicine will collaborate with Yoga and Ayurveda specialists, both for disease treatment, and for preventive healthcare. The Centre for Integrative Medicine and Research was inaugurated on 22nd of June 2016 by Shri J.P Nadda, honourable Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare and president AIIMS, in the presence of Prof M.C. Mishra, director, AIIMS, New Delhi and Dr H.R. Nagendra, chancellor, Swami Vivekananda Yoga AnusandhanaSamsthana, Banglore.
Prof. A K Banerji
(1965-1995) presently Emeritus Professor Neurosurgery
“It was May 1965 that I came to Delhi from Vellore where I was a lecturer, to appear for a Union Public Service Commission interview for the job of Reader at G. B. Pant hospital, Delhi and All India Institute of Mental Health, Bangalore (later to become NIMHANS). I was the only candidate and was asked at the end as to which place would I prefer. I chose Bangalore. Just before leaving for the interview, I had gone to see Dr. Baldev Singh and Dr P. N. Tandon (PNT) at AIIMS to pay a courtesy call. They were sharing an office and I suspect eagerly waiting like spiders, to catch a victim in neurosurgery, who could stick on at AIIMS, which at that time had actually nothing no space, equipment or staff. After a little talking about general things, suddenly, Dr. Baldev Singh asked me to think whether I at all wanted to go for the interview, as AIIMS could possibly offer me a job, I of course declined the proposal as a bird in hand was better than two in the bush. Then Dr. Tandon asked me to come home for tea that evening. I left for the Union Public Service Commission office. Today when I see large number of candidates for a job interview my own experience seems miraculous.
Coming back after the interview I recounted what happened to Gopal and his wife Radha (Dr. G.K. Vishwakarma was then Asst. Professor Orthopaedics and later became D.G.H.S. of Government of India) Insidious pressure started from them to come to AIIMS and forget about Bangalore. Incidentally Bangalore had a working, full fledged department with Prof. RM. Verma and he tried hard to get me there even after I joined AIIMS.
That evening I spent at Tandons. Dr. P. N. Tandon had been my Anatomy demonstrator in 1952 while Mrs. Leela Tandon was my lecturer in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Medical College, Lucknow. I had met Dr. P.N. Tandon in 1963 at the annual Neurological Society of India meeting in Calcutta. For both of us it was the very first meeting that we had attended of NSI. Dr. P. N. Tandon had established the department of neurosurgery at AlIMS 2 months before in March 65. He had been promised equipment but nothing had arrived in the two months. He was eager that I should join but was frank to say he did not know how things would eventually develop. After returning to Gopal's house, Radha and Gopal took me to see 'My Fair Lady' at Sheila Theatre which then was the best in Delhi, if not India. After returning well past midnight we slept on the roof and went on talking about what I should do. I think it was near the break of dawn that I finally succumbed to pressures from Gopal and Radha and said OK I'll come to Delhi if the job was offered. Next morning before I left Delhi Dr. Baldev Singh took me to meet Prof. K. L. Wig then Director AIIMS. Our liking for each other was instantaneous and the bond carried throughout.
I joined as adhoc Assistant Professor in June'65. There was one office of Dr. Baldev Singh in which in addition to Dr. P. N. Tandon another chair and a small table was put for me. The process of starting a department began really from scratch. Space was allotted on the first floor by the side of anatomy lecture theatre. I and Dr. V. Virmani (my opposite number in Neurology) sat down to draw maps and carve out rooms in the large halls. At that moment, our vibes were bristly to say the least. Dr. Virmani was considerably senior in age plus she had known Dr. Baldev Singh since Amritsar days and she also held the trump card of being Punjabi speaking which was then the lingua franca of AIIMS. Over the years our relationship mellowed and we did develop mutual admiration and respect for each other. I hit upon the strategy in our dealings at that time of building the departments, of saying exactly opposite of what I wanted. Dr. Virmani would of course, reverse my suggestions much to my advantage. Today when I look back it all appears so childish. But then it was great fun. Slowly collecting items like pins, chairs, tables, almirahs and make real offices was a new challenge for which I was not trained. Anyway we built the office cubicles, laboratories and got the OPD on the 4th floor in ship shape. It was so gratifying after two years of joining that we had a place of our own.
We started with surgical instruments which actually were of World War II vintage which included an operation table. Burr holes had to be made by a brace in 4 stages and both Dr. Tandon and I developed the art to perfection. To begin with we had no beds. Both for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Prof. K.L. Wig and the Pediatricians generously allowed us use of their beds in what is now the nurses hostel. There was so little clinical work that it was terribly frustrating in the beginning. I started taking clinics for the MD students of medicine, pediatrics and radiology. I slowly became quite popular to the extent that one day Dr. Wig called me to see one of his patients in his office. I must have impressed him no end as after that on several occasions he would ask for my opinion on patients. This was a small matter for him but a great boost for my confidence for which my gratitude goes to him.
By 1968 we were having a ward in the OPD block (ward IX) and we were well settled. The operation theaters were in the College of Nursing Block. Radiology to begin with was in the nurses hostel, and only in 1968 shifted to its present location. That was the time when we had Dr. S. K. Ghosh in radiology from 1965 to 1968 and he was a great help. Very often we started the day at 7.30 A.M. with ward rounds, dressings and stitch removals, followed by neuroradiology (ventriculograms angiograms etc) and then this was followed by surgery which would invariably end by 7 or 8 P.M., particularly if it was a posterior fossa tumour. At night one of us i.e. PNT or myself would sleep in the doctors room adjacent to the main O.T. block. From 1966 onwards Dr. B.B. Sawhney and Dr. M. Gourie Devi, now Director and Vice Chancellor NIMHANS who were residents in neurology would help us out by doing night duties and also assist in surgery as we did not have regular residents of our own. The role played by Col. G.C. Tandon, the Professor of Anaesthesia, was unforgettable. Dr. Hattangdi's lectures in anaesthesia helped us enormously and he also shared our burden in looking after patients, sometimes relieving us of our daily chores. The two films I saw with Anjali, my wife, during the time was courtesy of Hattangadi. Before I proceed I must tell of my first day in the operation theatre block (MOT) in the consultants changing room, where I went on my own apprehensively, to discover its ambience. The only person there in OT dress was reading an Agatha Christie paperback with great seriousness. On entering he asked me as to who I was and then got up with great cordiality and shook me by the hands. That was Dr. Satish Nayyar, Assistant Professor in Surgery well known as he was a Hallet medalist in the primary FRCS examination. Dr. Satish Nayyar gave me a cup of tea and then said that I must cultivate some hobby (his was reading mystery novels) as Assistant Professors had nothing to do as the Professor usurped all the work which was worthwhile, while all the minor work was done by the Registrars (later called residents). I went into depression from which it took me a long time to come out. Within a week I took courage in my hands and went to talk it over with PNT. We decided that alternate cases would be operated by us while the other would assist. Matters went on well but I was perturbed over the fact that if he assisted, he would go out and talk to the patients attendants before I could come out. Again I went to him in 1968 and PNT graciously agreed he wouldn't do so. This was a remarkable thing at AIIMS. My struggle for identity of Assistant Professors went on to the faculty over such oligarchy and it was ultimately in 1970 that I was able to change the nomenclature of hospital units which hitherto were identified with the head, to that of the departments. Thus Prof. P.N.T's unit changed to Neurosurgery unit-a practice which continues today. I have always felt that to obtain the best from colleagues a measure of democracy and participation should be the prime substance PNT's contribution towards this was immense which allowed me to put my heart and soul in developing the department and later the Neurosciences Centre. I guess the role of wives is also very great. Our families (Tandon and Banerji) were close to each other and even today no major decision in the Banerji family takes place without Tandons consultation. I guess this meeting was lucky for both of us.
In 1969 Dr. S.K. Ghosh left for Goa on promotion as Professor and Neuroradiology was taken over by Dr. R.K. Goulatia for whom a separate post was created in neuroradiology. In mid 70's Dr. S.S. Saini was persuaded to join Neuroanaesthesia and this started the nucleus of a comprehensive clinical setup. Fortunately we were able to persuade (Mrs. D. Saini to join as our OT sister incharge and thus there was a feeling of family and belonging, so important in the development phases of any new venture. Dr. Subimal Roy was spending considerable time in Neuropathology to complete the picture. I had a vision of Neurosciences Centre akin to PNT, however I knew that basic neurosciences can never develop on its own because of economic compulsions. My emphasis was on developing clinical neurosciences and bring in basic neurosciences within its umbrella.
By mid 70's both neurosurgery and neurology had relocated itself on the main hospitals 4th floor and we were lucky to have separate independent wards. Mrs. M. Bindra joined us as sister I/C of neurosurgery ward and her dedication eventually made our ward the talking point of nursing care in the Institute. She eventually rose to become the Nursing Superintendent of the Neurosciences Centre.
In 1966 one day, walked into my office Dr. Brahm Prakash, who had resigned his Short Service Commission in the army and had married recently. He was at loose ends, asking my advise as to what he should do. He had earlier worked as my junior resident in general surgery at Medical College, Lucknow and the association was about 10 yrs. old. I persuaded him to join neurosurgery.We were able to rustle up the required formalities for starting MCh course with bare facilities but boundless enthusiasm. He was the first trainee and later joined our faculty and went on to become the Director Professor at G.B. Pant Hospital and started his own MCh programme. The AlIMS MCh course went from strength to strength and eventually we were having both the 5 yr and 3 yr streams. Neurology D.M. had started already in 1965. Now AlIMS trainees are spread all over India. Several headed departments e.g? Dr. Gourie Devi became Director Vice Chancellor of NIMHANS, Dr. B. Prakash at G.B. Pant Hospital Delhi, Dr. B.S. Das at NIMHANS, Dr. S. Mohanty at IMS, BHU Varanasi, Dr. A. K. Reddy at NIMS Hyderabad, and Dr. M.A. Wani at SKIMS Srinagar. Many hold important positions in teaching as well as private sector. We i.e. PNT and I are inordinately proud of all who trained themselves with us and wish them all the best in their future endeavors. Our wish is that they better us in their achievements. A major breakthrough in our clinical services occurred in 1976 with the coming of Prof. H.W. Pia who did a course in laboratory microsurgery. In the next few years we started a microsurgery laboratory and operative microsurgery was initiated. In the Indian scenario we stole the lead. In late 60's with the help of our ENT surgeon Dr. S.K. Kacker we started trans-sphenoidal pituitary surgery which consolidated in the 70's and became a routine procedure.
The process of development of the Neurosciences Centre in collaboration with the Cardiothoracic Sciences Centre started in real earnest in early 70's. Dr. N. Gopinath of Cardiothoracic Surgery and PNT were the architects. Land allocation was done by Prof. V. Ramalingaswami, the then Director AIIMS. Ghosh and Pradhan Associates were appointed architects and their started the planning for the basement, ground floor and the operation theatre block of our centre. Hours and hours of meetings with the architects-designing and tearing plans, it went on and on. I heard my wife say that I started talking of planning even in my sleep. We were about ready to have the foundation stone laying. This was 1977 and Mrs. Indira Gandhi's infamous emergency was coming to an end. One afternoon, in PNT's office, Dr. N. Gopinath suddenly said it would be nice to have Mrs. Gandhi lay the foundation stone. I had recently treated Mr. Dhawan's (then the personal secretary to Mrs. Indira Gandhi) nephew and I said shall I try. I rang him up on the phone from PNTs office. Mr. Dhawan immediately said yes and wanted probable days and times so that it could be confirmed taking into account Mrs. Gandhi's tour programmes. Elections were round the corner and Dr. Ramalingaswami wisely asked us to go slow. Mrs. Gandhi lost the elections and it is possible that the Janata Government which followed may have taken offence and delayed the start of the Centre had we got Mrs.lndira Gandhi to lay our foundation stone. Eventually, President Mr.Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy lay the foundation stone in 1978. When the building started many problems surfaced e.g. we suddenly discovered that there were very few toilets while most of the patients of cardiology were on diuretics and required use of toilets frequently. Again to the drawing boardbreaking of walls, laying of new sewer lines and so new toilets came into being. I know the OPD and of course the toilets have today become too inadequate with increasing number of patients coming to the Centre.
The brief period of Janata regime from 1977 and 1979 saw the irrepressible Mr. Raj Narain come as the Health Minister. All work in the Ministry came to a halt as also our Centre which bore the backlash of erratic ways of Mr. Raj Narain. The only thing I remember was meeting him near the present Community Medicine Department late in the evening,Mr. Raj Narain was coming to inaugurate, if I remember correctly, the Centre of Community Medicine. As usual he was hours late and the then Director Dr. L.P. Agarwal was standing with 3to4 faculty members. I tried slinking away but Dr. L.P. Agarwal called me and more or less forced me to stay on awaiting Mr. Raj Narain. He eventually came when the numbers of people waiting was not more than half a dozen. Before going to cut the ribbon he was introduced to all of us. He was highly intrigued with me and asked what would I find if I did have an opportunity to see the inside of the head of Mrs. Indira Gandhi. I made some polite comments though I was sure Mrs. Gandhi had a better quality brain than Mr. Raj Narain. Anyway he went on to narrate it with great gusto during a special convocation to award an Honorary D. Litt to Dr. Sewoosagar Ramgoolam of Mauritius. It was in such bad taste that Morarji Desai who was chairing frowned and all of us in the auditorium hung our head with embarrassment.
My two stints as Chief of Neurosciences Centre were significant in the development of the Centre. The first was a 2 year term as acting Chief of Centre while Dr. PNT was on Nehru Fellowship between 1984-86. This was the time when after the first phase of building (OPD, radiology wing, basement and OT block) we had reached a dead end as far as expansion of the Centre was concerned. Prof. M. L. Bhatia was the Chief of Cardiothoracie Sciences Centre. Our formal requests for funds were stiffly rebuffed by the then Joint Secretary Finance Adviser (JSFA) of Health Ministry. Ms. Sarla Grewal, widely nick named 'hunterwali' by her unkind colleagues, was the Secretary. We were advised not to try and influence her which could cause an unpredictable antagonism to our proposal. Anyway we went to meet her, placed before her, the developments till date, including our mounting clinical load, increasing public expectations, and the blockades experienced by us for expanding our Centres to what was originally planned. Ms. Grewal quietly listened to us, occasionally interjecting for a clarification. After we completed she asked for the JSFA who was the main stumbling block, to come and join the meeting. The moment he saw us his hackles were raised. On being asked by Ms.Grewal as to what were the problems in giving us the grant he started off with a long list of financial mismanagement by AlIMS in which our Centres had no role to play. (Most of the problems recounted were exaggerated to say the least). Ms. Grewal asked as to why our Centres were being penalised for what AlIMS had done. To this the JSFA said that this is a part of financial management for which he was responsible. Then we saw the legendary Ms. Sarla Grewal come into her elements. In chaste Punjabi she asked the JSFA as to who was the Secretary of the Ministry and how dare he speak to her like that. The poor JSFA spluttered and stuttered and tried to put in a word edgeways. Ms. Grewal asked him to leave the office and we knew that our battle was half won. However after leaving her office both Prof. M.L. Bhatia and I, as a matter of diplomacy, went to the JSFA's office. He was in the dumps. We nursed his hurt ego by asking for his help as we knew that he was quite capable of going to the Finance (Expenditure) Secretary and derail our proposals. I think the strategy worked as he did become a supporter. Of course things were helped as a few close relations of the JSFA fell conveniently ill at the same time requiring cardiac and neurosurgery. Funds eventually came though it took another year and in 1986 the remainder of the present Centre's building was started. Prof. P. Venugopal was a constant source of support in our endeavours. In the same period the next Union Health Secretary was Mr. Srinivasan, who was unenthusiastic about our Centres. His general impression was that we were overstaffed, our equipment underutilized and our clinical output low compared to other hospitals e.g. G. B. Pant Hospital Delhi, Christian Medical College Vellore, and certainly Apollo Hospital Madras which to him was the ultimate in financial management and output. Incidentally he was involved with the starting of Escorts Heart Institute which he clearly told us is a 'better bet than us'. Prof. Bhatia, Venugopal and I went through our records as well as what we could gather from the other institutions which Mr. Srinivasan thought had better quality and quantity of work. He had a meeting separately with our Neurosciences group to take stock. I had taken Dr. Baldev Singh and Dr. P.N. Tandon for the presentation made by me. By the end Mr. Srinivasan was convinced of the genuineness of our proposals. My plea at that time was to get financial grant equal to G.B. Pant Hospital whose output was half of ours. It was a landmark victory as our grants immediately increased, a trend which continued in the future.
My next stint as Chief of Centre was between 1988-95. Finances were forthcoming in good measure We had a CT scan and state of art angiography equipment. Our ICU was the best in the country. What we lacked was a MRI Scanner. I must pay special thanks to Mr. R.L. Mishra who was the Union Health Secretary in the latter part of my assignment. We had an excellent relationship and he was always positive in his approach. It is through his help that we got the NMR department setup at AIIMS, which was far more than merely obtaining MRI equipment. Incidentally even today the NMR Department has the only 2 Tesla machine capable of MR Scan and also MR Spectroscopy. The NMR department also has chemical NMR and the only experimental NMR in India today. It was an unique experience to create a whole department with the help of the then director Dr. S. K. Kacker who was always supportive.
It is during my tenure that proposals were sent to the Government for making the Centre the best equipped not only in India but in the Asian region. The Gamma Knife has started after I retired and I am sure PET scan and other newer equipment would come in due course.
I am often asked as to whether I have any regrets. My special regret is our offices being removed from the main Institute. It was originally envisaged that offices would remain where they were located i.e., adjacent to Anatomy dissection hall. The translocation has severed the umbilical cord to the other specialties in the Institute. This isolation does not augur well for the future of our Centre, as any branch of medicine to flourish requires interaction with sister disciplines. My other regret is the inability to have nonclinical neurosciences to come and establish themselves in our Centers new building. I had tried, even to the extent of keeping a floor vacant for one year under various pretexts.
My greatest gains were the colleagues I had - friends for life. I know I left alive vibrant active Centre which will only grow from strength to strength. Even today for anything I always say Neurosciences Centre, AIIMS is the best and with every breath only wish it the very best in its future endeavors.”
The Centre for Integrative Medicine and Research is a pioneering initiative by AIIMS, New Delhi in the quest for convergence of contemporary medicine with India’s ancient and traditional medical practices. The centre at the premier institute of the country shall be dedicated to research, documentation and delivery of holistic healthcare. It has been envisioned as a “state of the art” research centre where top experts from various disciplines of contemporary medicine will collaborate with Yoga and Ayurveda specialists, both for disease treatment, and for preventive healthcare. The Centre for Integrative Medicine and Research was inaugurated on 22nd of June 2016 by Shri J.P Nadda, honourable Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare and president AIIMS, in the presence of Prof M.C. Mishra, director, AIIMS, New Delhi and Dr H.R. Nagendra, chancellor, Swami Vivekananda Yoga AnusandhanaSamsthana, Banglore.

Prof. P.N. Tandon (1965-1990) presently Emeritus Professor Neurosurgery
“The Departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences were initiated in March 1965 with the appointment of Prof. Baldev Singh and myself as the first Professors. A neurology service in the Department of Medicine started by Dr. Jim Austin from the USA and later under care of Dr. Vimla Virmani was already in existence at that time. Significantly enough the Institute was, from its very inception, an important centre of neuroscience research. The first two Professors in Department of Physiology (Prof. B.K. Anand and Prof. A.S. Paintal) were undisputable leaders of neurophysiology in the country. Dr. Paintal had, however, already moved to Patel Chest Institute a year earlier, the remaining faculty members of the department were all pursuing neurophysiology research. Prof. Keswani, the Chief of Anatomy, was primarily interested in neuroanatomy. Prof. G. P. Talwar, at that stage, was enthusiastically involved in researches in neurochemistry This was of course before his shift to immunology. Acknowledging these strengths International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) had already held one of its earlier workshops in the Institute. Dr. Sriramachari, Deputy Director of Indian Council of Medical Research, though not on the faculty of the Institute freely provided his services for all neuropathological work till several years later when Dr. Subimal Roy took over the responsibility fully. While clinical neurology and neurosurgery departments existed at several centers in the country much earlier; even the oldest such centers at Vellore, Madras, Bombay and Calcutta, did not have such broad base of neuroscience as we were fortunate to have at the Institute. Given the overall milieu of rapid growth and development in the institute at that time, the clinical departments also expanded rapidly. It will be hard for the current staff and students of the Institute to visualize how close interaction existed among all these departments and units in the earlier years. This was in no small measure due to the all pervading influence of Prof. Baldev Singh real father figure for all of us.
The idea of establishing a "Brain Research Centre" at the Institute had already been envisaged by Prof. B.K. Anand even before the clinical departments came into existence. No doubt this was primarily thought of as a basic research centre. Thus on 1st December 1964, Dr. Anand vide his letter No. Phy/64/1235 requested the Director for initiating steps for developing a Brain Research Centre" with the existing ICMR Neurophysiology unit as its nucleus. Unfortunately no action was taken on his request.
In 1968, when the Institute was to formulate its development plans for the Fourth Five Year plan of the Government, Prof. Anand, Prof. Baldev Singh and I had several informal discussions to once again revive the proposal for a Brain Research Centre. It may be mentioned that, not surprisingly, this proposal was heavily loaded in favour of creating research laboratories including a couple for neurology and neurosurgery. While we were heavily constrained in our clinical work due to limited diagnostic and operative facilities at this time we went along with Prof. Anand in supporting this proposal hoping to strengthen the patient care services through the development plan for the Institute hospital which was to be commissioned
The Development Committee approved the proposal in principle, but owing to financial constraints no concrete steps were taken. The Institute Body ultimately agreed to create a few staff positions so that "Centre can make a start as early as the Financial Year 1970/71. In practical terms it amounted to absorbing some of the staff of the Indian Council of Medical Research Neurophysiology Unit and nothing more.
When we finally shifted to the new hospital the Neurosurgery Department had 22 beds allotted to it. We had one operation theatre, but no specialized neurosurgical operation table and no intensive care unit. The neuroradiology set up consisted of a skull table without automatic changer for angiography, no facilities for tomography nor a dedicated unit for myelography. Isotope encephalometry then a routine diagnostic investigation abroad was nonexistent. We had an EEG machine but no facilities for EMG or nerve conduction. Nonetheless we were facing increasing demands for patient care from all over the country and also our neighboring countries. Waiting lists for admission and surgery were a constant source of worry for us and frustration for the suffering patients. We had already started the M. Ch. course.
Similar problems were being faced by the Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery Departments. One day in 1971 when Prof. Gopinath and I were scrubbing for surgery in the common scrub room between our two theatres, he informed me that they have submitted a proposal for a Cardiothoracic Centre "Why don't you also do so, otherwise we will never progress". I, therefore, once again took up this matter with Prof. Anand who was now also the Dean and sounded the Director, Prof. V. Ramalingaswami. On receiving a favorable response, it was decided that, unlike in the past, our proposal this time should be a comprehensive one, including parallel development of basic neurosciences and clinical disciplines. Dr. Manchanda along with Prof. Anand formulated the proposal in respect to basic neurosciences. I, in consultation with Prof. Sumedha Pathak, the then Professor and Head of Department of Neurology and on the advice of Prof. Baldev Singh and Dr. Banerji prepared the plan for the clinical centre. A draft proposal was thus submitted on 16`" July 1971 to the Dean with the comments "in view of the present extent of development at the Institute to start with emphasis will be on neurophysiology, neurology and neurosurgery. Nucleus for the following will be established with a view to development of these into fully fledged specialties, as integral part of the centre, as personnel and fiscal resources were available". These included neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neuropathology. This proposal was discussed by Prof. Baldev Singh (who was now an Emeritus Professor) with Prof. B.K. Anand who agreed with it fully and desired to "go ahead and fill up all the details regarding space, equipment, personnel etc. working out the cost" etc. We agreed to change the name from Brain Research Centre to Neurosciences Centre. We had a detailed and somewhat ambitious plan formulated. Though the plans were ready there was no obvious source for funding it. Was it going to be another document for the archives? This thought remained a constant worry, Prof. Ramalingaswami was fully in agreement but was finding it difficult to find funds for it.
Several months passed. One day while casually discussing our mounting frustrations with lack of any progress with my elder brother, who was then a Jt. Secretary in the Prime Minister's office, I initially got a cautious reply, "Prakash, officially I do not wish to get involved in any thing that may be considered as a favour to my brother. The only thing I can do is to arrange a meeting for you with the PS to the Hon'ble Minister of Health Shri Uma Shanker Dixit. Even before that, first take the permission from your Director to do so". It was easy to obtain Director's permission and shortly afterwards a meeting was held with Shri Rajgopal, who was more than sympathetic to our request for establishing the Neurosciences Centre. At the end of the meeting he told me that it was not possible to get such a major scheme funded in the middle of a plan period but "may be we could get advanced action initiated which can then be formalized in the next plan". He promised to discuss this with Dixitji at an appropriate time. The meeting ended with encouraging but cautious note, "I promise nothing but I am convinced it is a genuine need. You are asking nothing for yourself? you are willing to provide more and better service to those knocking at your door".
Not expecting any prompt action I was pleasantly surprised to receive a call from the Director later that evening, "Health Secretary Shri K.K. Dass wants us to include the matter related to the establishment of the Neurosciences Centre in the agenda for the next meeting of the Institute Body due shortly. He wants a copy of the proposal sent to him in advance". On 2nd August 1972, a copy of the formal proposal was duly sent to the Shri K.K. Dass by the Director. At the Institute Body meeting held on 12'" September 1972, the Institute decided, "The Institute considered that it was fortunate that expertise in several fields of Neurosciences exists at the institute both in basic and clinical areas. The Institute considered the scheme put up for its consideration as possible, desirable and in the larger interests of the country. Recognizing the strengths already built in the various departments in respect of the neurosciences, the Institute approved the proposal in principle to set up a Centre for Neurological Sciences at the AIIMS and decided that not only it be included in the proposals for the Fifth Five year Plan of the AIIMS but, the possibility of advance action in the Fourth Five Year Plan itself, should also be seriously explored. It was accordingly decided that the matter be considered by the Finance Committee in greater detail". We felt happy but not jubilant, fully conscious of the harder battles ahead
The Proposal was duly put up to the Finance Committee meetings held on 4th January 1973, 8th February 1973 and 5th April 1973 and as feared owing to "financial constraints" no funds could be made available. The real reason was no doubt that Shri K.K. Dass had retired by now and his successor Shri Ramachandran had his own antipathies against the Institute as future events confirmed.
However, without waiting for a formal decision of the Finance Committee, Prof. Ramalingaswami forwarded the proposal to Dr. Banwari Lall, Chief, Health Division, Planning Commission for his consideration. Dr. Lail was a close friend of Prof. Anand who arranged a meeting with him in the Planning Commission after Dr. Lall had opportunity to scrutinize the proposal. With high hopes Prof. Anand and I attended the meeting. To our surprise Dr. Lall, after a brief discussion, said, "Bal (B.K. Anand), I am sorry this proposal as it stands is unlikely to be approved owing to severe financial constraints. The only component that may be favorably looked at is the patient care part". He also made several suggestions for curtailing the budgetary demands even for the clinical component. It was with a sense of disappointment that we walked out of his office. I was, in addition assailed with the fear of losing Prof. Anand's interest and support for the project. Probably sensing my thoughts, on our way to the exit he suddenly stopped said, "Prakash, it is too bad to have things take a turn this way, but let us be practical. We should take whatever we can get and keep trying for the rest. You will have my full support". Few in his place could have been so generous and even more so the enthusiastic support we continued to get from him later on provided enough proof of the genuineness of these sentiments. For all this he no doubt, got the flak of his colleagues in the Physiology Department.
In pursuance of the decision of the Institute Body and the informal advice received from Dr. Lall we carried out another detailed exercise to draft a formal EFC (Expenditure Finance Committee) memo. In the meanwhile Prof. Gopinath had carried out a similar exercise for the Cardio-thoracic Centre. As a matter of fact, these exercises were mostly done with the constant consultations with each other. Combined these two proposals required considerable financial support. Dr. Ramalingaswami advised us that we should seek the views of the new Health Minister Shri Khadilkar. After a patient hearing of our individual proposals, he pointed out the difficult financial situation and advised that we should try and economize by establishing some common facilities and sharing whatever can be shared thus bringing down the total cost of two proposals. He promised to get the demands included in the Fifth Five Year Plan proposals of the Institute. Thus Prof. Gopinath and I carried out another exercise maintaining the basic character of two independent centers, yet having some common areas and support laboratories. On 2nd August 1973, a new draft proposal was forwarded to the Director with a note, "In view of the difficult economics situation, we (Profs. Anand, Gopinath and Tandon) have also reviewed the projects with an idea to prune these without undue detriment to the utility of the projects". And further, "Following this review, if we could get a total of Rs. 350 lakhs (Rs. 200 lakhs for Cardiothoracic and Rs. 150 lacs for Neurosciences Centre), we could still make a worthwhile contribution".
The Planning Commission, discussed the proposals of the Health Ministry (which included those of AIIMS) on 31st August 1973. The bias of the Health Secretary, Shri Ramachandran against the institute was too obvious. He had proposed a total of Rs. 150 lakhs for the whole Institute. As a matter of fact it was specially emphasized that the Ministry "did not favor that all the specialties should be concentrated in one place in the country". Following strong pleadings by the Director, one of the members of the Planning Commission, Member (M), pointed out that "the Ministry had proposed Rs. 1.50 crores for the AlIMS as against the Fourth Plan provision of Rs. 3.33 crores, and since this was a premier Institute in the country, the Ministry may explore the possibility of providing some additional funds for the Fifth Five Year Plan. With regards to the proposals for the two centers, the Planning Commission ultimately decided to allocate separate funds for "the development of super-specialties: a total of 236 lakhs, without specifically mentioning our proposals. This was a typical bureaucratic stroke by the Health Secretary to scuttle our proposal. Before implementing the program, the Ministry of Health decided to enquire from all medical institutions in the country to submit their proposals for "development of super-specialties", notwithstanding the fact that the Central Government is supposed to directly fund only the national institutes. As expected proposals were received from several places and interestingly even Orthopaedics was considered a super-specialty. The Health Ministry, obviously under the instructions from its Secretary put the whole matter in the cold storage with the usual excuse, "the matter is under consideration": even though the Fifth Plan had already begun from April 1974.
One day Dr. Karan Singh, who was now the Minister of Health, desired to see me for some unconnected reason. At the end of our meeting, I enquired about our proposals for the centers. Only then the cat came out of the bag. He frankly informed me that the Secretary was sitting on the file on the excuse of collecting information mentioned above. Dr. Karan Singh recognized the futility of the exercise. Since in the limited funds allocated for super specialities it would be impossible to meet the needs of even a few. He promptly took the initiative and in August 1974 appointed a committee under the Chairmanship of Dr. Srivastava, the Director General Health Services, to assess the existing potentials and future possibilities of strengthening superspecialities in the centrally funded institutions only. The Committee included experts in the concerned disciplines from all over the country. It collected the necessary information from various institutions and finally paid site-visits to each of these before recommending our two proposals alongwith some allocations to a couple of others. Thus from a total of Rs. 236 lacs allocation for super specialities the two Centres at the AIIMS, was provided Rs. 188.37 lacs.
On March 26, 1975, even before we received a formal approval of the Government to establish the Centre, a letter addressed to the Director, AlIMS received from Dr. Sharad Kumar, DDG(M), indicating that, "Under the Purely Central Scheme of "Development of Superspecialities', the Government of India has sanctioned a provision of Rs. 10 lakhs for the development of the Departments of (1) Neurosurgery and Neurology; and (2) Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery...............”
This communication, though not mentioning anything about the Centers, was the first indication that the Government had selected AIIMS; for development of these super-specialties. Two weeks later on 11th April 1975, the recommendations of the "Expert Committee on Establishment of Cardiothoracic and Neurosciences Centre at the Institute", were ultimately received, setting at rest all uncertainties about the two proposals. It would be worth reproducing the extracts of this communication with respect to Neurosciences Centre (see Dr. Sharad Kumar's letter dated 11th April 1975). Shortly afterwards on 22"d July 1975 a formal letter from the Ministry of Health and F.W. No. V. 16020/54/ME (PG), communicated to the Institute an allocation of Rs. 188.37 lacs for the super-specialties (including both centers) for the 5th Five Year Plan. It needs to be recorded that the fullest understanding between Prof. Gopinath and myself and the cooperation of the rest of the faculty of the concerned departments made it possible for us to keep on revising and redrafting the proposals as per the bureaucratic needs of the Government, without sacrificing the basic objectives. No hidden rivalries, personal egos or unjustified interests of individuals ever cast any shadow as we pursued the planning and implementation of the projects through various administrative channels. For me it was a rare experience of trust and camaraderie not so common in our institutions.
As expected it was not smooth sailing from now onwards. We had to wait till March 1976 for the first release of funds, a paltry sum of Rs. 3 lacs. At one stage the Financial Advisor to Ministry of Health, whose main grudge against the Institute happened to be "misuse of funds for erecting black marble columns in the foyer" without any justification reduced the total allocation for the Fifth Plan by nearly Rs. 40 lacs, probably worrying that we would waste it on black marble columns. When no explanation and assurances from Dr. Gopinath and myself failed to convince him, we had to approach the office of the Finance Minister (Shri C. Subrramanayam) and the Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Shri P.N. Haksar, two of the most progressive policy makers of the country has known. Let me hasten to add that Prof. Gopinath and I approached them with the approval of our Director.
In July 1976, the Estate Committee formally appointed M/s. Pradhan Ghosh and Associates as the architects. However, between 1976 and 1978 repeated revisions of the building plan were required due to pruning of the budget allocations and rising cost of the building. At last on 14th April 1978, the President of India Shri Neelam Sanjiva Reddy laid the foundation stone of the twin centers. In his welcome address Dr. Ramalingaswami stated, "Our vision of the Centers is that they will be Centers both of public service and of higher learning at the same time". Their philosophy is that in which the patients and their needs come first, everything else is subordinate and subservient to this: He pointed out that, "The greatest and deepest need of a Centre is to be needed by Society". Quoting the famous economist Francis Delaisi, he said that. "the purpose of an Institution is to supply stability needed for long term operations. At the same time, Institutions must be able to adjust to change. It is our hope that stability, adjustability and continuity will mix in the centers in appropriate balance". Rashtrapatiji in his address expressed his happiness on the establishment of these Centers. While emphasizing that, "Our most urgent need is Primary Health Care" which should be pursued with all energy and resources at our command." He pointed out that, "we cannot altogether neglect the setting up and improvement of more advanced levels of health care at District, State and national levels. We need to have a few Centers of excellence in a large country like ours where the most advanced levels of care can be provided; specialists and researchers can be trained and the most complex problems may be referred for appropriate management" For him, "It is not a question of this or that" but a "proper balance in the developments of these various levels of health care". He was equally concerned about the scientific community which must be able to discover, adopt and innovate suitable methods not only in dealing with our current problems but also in coping with changing trends and changing needs of the future". I have quoted these excerpts from the speeches because I believe that as long as we pursue these ideals the Centre would continue to justify the generous resources provided by the government and enjoy the trust of the people.
Five years later, in March 1983, out patient clinics for Neurology, Neurosurgery (as also Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery) moved to the new building, while the work continued to complete the rest. Progressively as the work progressed we continued to occupy the areas already completed. By July 1984, the built up area included basement, OPD, receiving station, noninvasive laboratories, radiology wing, 8 operation theatres (Neuro 3, Cardiac 4, Common 1) along with ICUs and postoperative wards. It was only in 1988-89 that the Centres became fully functional in their new abode. At this time Neurosciences centre had a total of 180 beds, 3 fully equipped operation theatres, 30 bedded ICUs, Intermediate care wards, fully fledged departments of Neuroradiology, Neuroanaesthesia, within this complex. The offices of the faculty and supportive staff, Neurochemistry laboratories continued to remain in the old building and by mutual agreement the Neuropathology still continues to be in parent Department of Pathology. This may be compared to the facilities available to us before we moved to the Centre. The combined strength of beds for Neurology and Neurosurgery including a half baked ICU was only 72, scattered in different parts of the old hospital.
There was only one dedicated operation theatre for neurosurgery and we shared another one with Cardiothoracic Department three days a week. There were four members on the faculty of Neurosurgery. I have been informed that there will be separate write-up's about the development of Neurology, Neuroradiology, Neuroanaesthesia, Neuropathology, Neurochemistry etc. hence I shall restrict myself in the remaining part of this review on Neurosurgery only. Nonetheless it should be mentioned that once the scheme for creating the Centre was approved, in the interval before its complete occupation we were permitted to augment the overall facilities and staff strength in a progressive manner with a view to improve the quality and maximise output of all our activities-patient care service and education in particular. Funds for research had, as even now, to be obtained on competitive basis from the grant giving agencies. During this interval we were able to obtain a munificent grant from the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) which modernized our diagnostic and clinical facilities including those for operation theatres and ICU. The first CT Scan in the country was installed under this grant. It was not just a coincidence that this was inaugurated by the President of India on the same day as the foundation of the Centre(s) was laid.
Coming back to the growth of neurosurgical services, in the first full year of our work i.e. 1966 we admitted 140 patients, attended to 540 in the OPD and performed 111 major and 89 minor surgical procedures. It may be mentioned that at that time many of our patients were admitted, operated upon and discharged from the emergency ward. Five years later in 1971 these numbers were 422 admitted, 1044 attended in OPD and 535 (303 major and 232 minor operations performed. In 1976, the year when the first token grant was received for the Centre we admitted 1094 patients, attended to 3784 (1960 new and 1824 old) patients in the OPD, and performed 520 major and 785 minor surgical operations. It may be recalled that at that time neuroradiological investigations pneumoencephalography ventriculography, angiography and myelography were performed by. the clinical team and hence were included as minor operations. In 1986, prior to shifting to the Centre 1898 patients were admitted, 11.225 (3406 new and 7918 old) patients seen in the OPD and 735 and 257 major or minor operations were performed. Starting with only two faculty members in 1965 - Dr. Banerji and myself, it was only in 1971 that we added one more lecturer. Dr B. Prakash. The next person to join was Dr R. Bhatia as Lecturer in 1974 The first faculty position in the Department of Neurosurgery after the Centre came into existence, was 1979 with Dr. Banerji taking over as a Professor. A little known episode in this connection needs mention to illustrate the prevailing team spirit at that time. When we got the first position of a Professor sanctioned for the Centre, I had in my mind wanted it for Dr. Banerji. The day the matter was to be finalized in the Academic Committee I was indisposed and requested Dr. Banerji to attend the meeting and briefed him about my plan. His immediate response was that it should be alloted to Neuropathology, "Dr. Subimal Roy should be given a chance before me". Dr. V.S. Mehta then joined as a Lecturer in 1981 followed by Dr. A.K. Mahapatra in 1983. In the meanwhile Dr. B. Prakash left for G.B. Pant Hospital in 1980. Thus even after fully commissioning the Centre in 1988, the Department had a total strength of 5 faculty members; who continued to share the ever increasing service load as indicated by the figures provided above.
Education
Besides the full fledged in-service M.Ch. course (3 years for post MS (surgery) and a direct 5+1 year after MBBS), the department has been participating in undergraduate education as well as collaborating with basic science department for Ph.D. program. From 1968 when our first trainee obtained his M.Ch. degree, till 1988, twenty eight persons obtained their postgraduate degrees. Since 1988 up to date an additional 31 have qualified. Most of these are serving the country. Several of them became chiefs of their departments at Delhi, Varanasi, Srinagar, Bangalore, Cuttack and Hyderabad, thus fulfilling an important objective for which the Centre was created. From its inception the Department has been actively engaged in CME programs both intramural and extramural. Short-term training programs are organized regularly on recent advances like CT scanning, Microsurgery, Neural Transplantation, Vascular Surgery, Skull base surgery etc. An yearly course on Neurobiology for Clinicians was organized (4 at the AIIMS and 1 at NIMHANS, Bangalore). National level Hands-on Workshops were organized from time to time with the help of international faculty as for example on microneurosurgery, skull-base surgery, neural transplantation etc. A microneurosurgical laboratory, the first of its kind in the country, was established for training in microsurgical techniques, not only for neurosurgeons but for others specialities also from all over the country. The first National Neural Transplantation Facility was established in collaboration with the Department of Anatomy. The first Text Book of Neurosurgery in the country was the result of a joint effort between Madras Neurological Institute and AlIMS in 1980. This has been completely revised and updated in 1996. Four monographs "Lectures in neurobiology" were brought out in collaboration with the Department of Anatomy, AIIMS. The faculty has made contributions to several national and international text books including Tropical Neurology, Handbook of Neurology and Techniques in Neurosurgery.
Research
AlIMS provided a unique milieu for advancing frontiers of knowledge. The Neurosurgery Department fully participated in this effort The major areas of research contributions of the Department involved collaboration of other departments in the Institute and outside included;
1. Head Injury: epidemiology, intracranial hematomas and temporal lobe lesions, brainstem injuries, growing skull factures, outcome of severe head injury. Those studies included a collaborative investigation with Institute of Neurology, Madras and another with University of Charllotesville, Virginia, USA. With in the Institute departments of ENT, Ophthalmology, Pathology, Radiology and Medical Jurisprudence were parts of the investigations at various stages.
2. CNS Tuberculosis experimental studies on pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, etiology and management of post meningitic sequelae, neuroimaging. evaluation of therapeutic modalities (These studies were carried out in collaboration with the Departments of Microbiology, Pathology and Radiology and Nuclear Medicine).
3. Brain Abscesses: Etiopathology, clinical manifestations, brain abscess in cyanotic heart disease, subdural abscesses, management strategies.
4. Cysticercosis: its clinical manifestations, diagnostic dilemmas, CT imaging, role of surgery.
5. Brachial Plexus injuries: a series of investigations as one of the largest in the world, included problems of diagnosis, evaluation of surgical procedures. These studies have been carried out in collaboration with Department of Neurology.
6. Optic nerve injuries are a subject of prospective investigations for more than a decade. Clinical manifestations, visual evoked potentials, role of surgery have been evaluated in collaboration with the department of ENT and as a part of an international multicentric study.
7 Subarachnoid hemorrhage and Intracranial aneurysms specially epidemiological, etiopathological investigations and studies to evaluate various management strategies. The initiation of these studies was done as a part of a multicentric national study which proved the fallacy of the prevailing view of rarity of intracranial aneurysms in India
8. Pituitary Tumours: Immunohistochemical classification, correlation of clinical-pathological and hormonal profile, tissue culture studies (These studies were carried out in collaboration with the Departments of Endocrinology and Neuropathology). Most of these studies were initiated after Trans sphenoid surgery had been established, for the first time in India, in collaboration with ENT department.
9. Gliomas: were a subject of a series of investigations on pathology, classification, evaluation of growth potentials, prognostic factors etc. Surgery for gliomas of the dominant hemisphere constituted a major thrust. A large number of investigations including EM, immunohistochemistry, in-vivo and in in-vitro labeling index studies, tissue culture and molecular markers have been carried out by the neuropathology department.
10. Experimental studies on intracranial hypertension elaborated the patho-physiological mechanisms based on a biomechanical model. These studies were carried out in collaboration with the Department of Physiology at AlIMS and Biomedical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. In another series of investigations with the Department of Pharmacology the pathogenetic mechanism of pulmonary oedema in raised ICP was elaborated.
11. Experimental neural Transplantation: A national fetal Neural Transplantation Unit (supported by Department of Science and technology) was established in collaboration with the Department of Anatomy. A number of original contributions were made through a series of papers.
The above account will testify that much has been accomplished, no doubt a lot more needs to be. For me personally it has been a rewarding experience and source of great satisfaction, not just the physical growth of the Centre but the years of affection and friendship of the team who really made this happen. The only regret that continues to haunt me is our failure to see a parallel growth of the basic neurosciences as an integral part of the Neurosciences Centre. Individually these disciplines in the Institute have made very outstanding contributions. It has been stated that an institution is the lengthened shadow of an individual. If there is one example to disprove this adage, the Neurosciences Centre is one. It was born in the dreams of several, nurtured with the selfless, dedicated services of many who submerged their egoes for a cause greater than themselves, working as a team the parallel of which could hardly be found any where. In the true spirit of Gita, their sole concern was duty and not the reward. No sacrifice was great enough for establishing a centre of excellence. Posterity will judge whether they succeeded on not but no one would deny that they attempted. Unlike many other such centres in our country, even after the departure of those who initiated it, the Centre continues its journey to greater heights as will be obvious from the story told by those who succeeded. I hope and pray that the Centre will continue to live up to the foundation stone. "In the ultimate analysis, it is not the budget, nor the number of staff positions that makes a truly great centre of public service and higher learning. It is the presence of thoughtful, imaginative, humanistic, loyal and devoted faculty and students that is vital". The Centre continues to be endowed with them and I can only wish them greater heights in years ahead.
Recommendations of The Committee on Establishment of Neurology and Neurosurgery Centre at the AIIMS and Safdarjang Complex
This Centre has been chosen for the following reasons :
i) The excellent staff that are in position and the very good record of patient care, teaching and research, particularly at the AlIMS.
ii) The existence of the supporting departments of basic sciences which are fully equipped and which can provide initially the nucleus for each ancillary department of the proposed Neurosciences Centre.
iii) The proximity of the department of Neurology at the Safdarjang Hospital which can serve as a trauma and emergency unit for this proposed centre.
The needs of this proposed Neuro-centre are indicated in Appendix I and may be seen to be economical and the minimum required.
This recommendation to make the neurology complex of the AlIMS and Safdarjang Hospital into a Neuro Centre is based on the following requirements.
a) Enthusiastic cooperation from the Departments of Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Pathology, Microbiology, Endocrinology, Genetics, Immunology and Experimental Medicine and Surgery of the AlIMS and their capacity to provide the necessary staff and equipment to develop these special aspects like neuro-anatomy, neuro-physiology, neuro-pathology, neuro-chemistry etc. that is, a pooling of the resources already available. As this Neuro-centre develops and the national resources improve, each one of these sub-specialities may develop its section in a new building to be constructed.
b) Expansion of the bed strength facilities will need space not available in the present building. A piece of land has already been earmarked to build a Neurocentre which has to be taken up on a priority basis.
c) Till such times as the building is ready, the rest of the recommendations may be given effect to immediately.
Neurology and Neurosurgery Centre cont.
The Committee has further observed that
1. Minimum arrangements have to be made to coordinate the emergency and head injury service of the Safdarjung Hospital with the Neuro-centre by:
a) according mutual and appropriate designations for the staff of each institution in the other; and
b) arranging full clinical coverage of these beds by the combined staff of the Neuro-Centre and delineating mutual responsibilities.
2. The Neuro-radiological facilities already available in the Safdarjung Hospital, including one Mimer X-ray machine, must be made available for this Neuro-Centre immediately, alongwith early sanction of the recommended neuro radiology staff.
3. Experienced Neuro-pathologists being very few in the country, the Committee strongly recommends the immediate appointment of Dr. S. Sriramachari, Director, Registry of Pathology, New Delhi, as the Hony. Professor of Neuro pathology in this Neuro-centre.
4. The various sub-sections collaborating from the parent departments in the AlIMS should. in course of time, become full-fledged departments of the sub-speciality - e.g. neuro-pathology, neuro-radiology, neuro-physiology, neuro-chemistry, neuro-psychology etc.”

Dr. Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences, named after the first President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, was established on the 10th of March, 1967 as a National centre for ophthalmic science, to provide state of the art patient care, expand human resources for medical education and undertake research to find solutions to eye health problems of national importance.
Prof L P Agarwal was the visionary, who envisaged an eye center that would be at the fore front of eye health planning, academics and clinical care. It was designed keeping in mind the specific needs of India, and included the best features of leading ophthalmic centers around the world.
Prof L PAgarwal and the RPC were instrumental in making India the first country to start a National Programme for Prevention of visual impairment and Control of Blindness. The Centre formed the apex of the pyramid of Ophthalmic services in India, under this programme.
RPC has been recognized over the years, as a center of excellence by policy makers, professionals and the discerning public. All its expertise is available to the common man at highly subsidized rates or free.
The Centre is a constituent unit of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, wherein it retains the fullest autonomy, while still keeping it within the mainstream of medical education and health care.
Dr.R.P. Centre continues to play a pivotal role in the National Programme for Control of Blindness. Faculty members of the Centre provide technical inputs at various forums that deliberate on policy planning and programme implementation. We have contributed our share in various blindness surveys and rapid assessments that have been conducted under the National Programme. As part of the Working Group, we have assisted in the framing of the Plan of Action under the Vision 2020 initiative. The Plan of Action shall guide the National Programme for Control of Blindness in the years to come. The Centre continues to foster partnerships with nongovernmental organizations engaged in the field of eye care. The centre has developed software for the National Registry of Eye Care infrastructure and human resources in India” this was done to support vision 2020 activities in India. This will be of immense use for policy planning in future.

Striving to provide comprehensive spine care at the Neurosurgery Department AIIMS by dealing with complex cervical, occipito-cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral pathologies, tumors, and fusion and fixation, operations has been a constant endeavor. The department is now fully equipped to deal with complex spinal problems with the latest technological advances including Image guided workstation. The minimal access system for spinal surgery is being procured. A research laboratory with facility for cadaver dissection and spinal operations on experimental animals with drill, microscope and computer aids is under development has been developed.
My special area of interest is the cranio-vertebral junction. I have documented one of the largest series of patients in the world on developmental CVJunction anomalies and their management- almost 800 patients. Research on TB of the CV Junction – experience of 75 patients is under consideration for publication. Research of spinal TB with severe neurological deficits in 45 patients has been accepted for publication in Journal of Neurosurgery Spine. In the last 3years I have been invited to lecture/chair sessions/seminars on spine surgery topics all over the country and in international meetings. I have been nominated the Course Chairman for the AOSpine courses at Davos Switzerland attended by more than 300 spine surgeons from 80 countries in the world.

In India, the concept of “Neuroanaesthesia as a subspeciality” of Anaesthesia was recognized, way back in 1968, when Dr. Surinder Singh Saini volunteered to anaesthetize the neurosurgical patients at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, on a regular basis. Formal training in Neuroanaesthesia, for post-graduate degree holders (MD) of Anaesthesia, for trainees from all over India, was started in 1982. In 1987, an independent Department of Neuroanaesthesia was established under the leadership of Prof. S S Saini as the Head along with two more faculties, Dr. Hari Hara Dash as Assistant Professor and Dr. Parmod Kumar Bithal as Lecturer. Five Senior Resident (SR) doctors joined them for assisting the clinical activities of the department.
In August 1989, the Department was shifted to the newly built the Cardiothoracic and Neurosciences Centre (CNC) of AIIMS (present location) along with other sister departments. Facilities during that time included three well-equipped operation theatres (OTs), one emergency (septic) OT, which was shared with the cardiothoracic centre, five-bedded intensive care unit (ICU), and twenty beds for postoperative patients.
In 1995, a process to start three years superspeciality degree course (DM) in Neuroanaesthesiology was initiated under stewardship of Prof. H. H. Dash. It was materialized in 2001, when DM (SR) posts (Six direct and three sponsored) were sanctioned by the Institute body. In 2002, two direct candidates were enrolled, for the first time in India, through a common entrance test. After the JPNA Trauma Centre was established by AIIMS, in 2006, 10 more post of non-DM SR was added to the existing 10 posts. In the subsequent year (2007), two more posts of SR (DM) were again sanctioned making the final tally of open category DM (SR) seats as eight. At present, the department is located in the Neurosciences Centre, at 6/7th floor, with the office operated from room no. 709A. One personal assistant and two office assistants look after the smooth management official activities.
Currently, the Department of Neuroanaesthesiology has expanded its horizon; caters clinical service to six well-equipped neurosurgical OTs, a brain suite (MRI- OT), two neuro-cath Labs, two MRI facilities, One GammaKnife facility, one pain clinic, a pre-anaesthetic check-up (PAC) clinic, two neurosurgical ICUs (total 26 beds), one neurology ICU of five beds, more than two OTs for trauma patients, a twenty-bedded ICU for neurotrauma patients apart from providing resuscitation measures for neurological and neurosurgical ward patients. To meet with the demand of workload, the faculty strength now has been increased to sixteen which includes two professors, four additional professors, and ten assistant professors.
This department has been actively involved with training of Indian defense service personnel and overseas trainees apart from the DM and Non-DM trainees (SRs) of Neuroanaesthesia. So far, 25 candidates have been awarded the DM degree in Neuroanaesthesiology. The department plans to start Neurocritical Care programme in coming years, and to establish this super-speciality in India, the need for which is being realized, nation-wide. The faculty and staff of this department strive hard to ensure that the ‘Department of Neuroanaesthesiology’ continues to be the torch-bearer of perioperative neurosciences, and serve as a role model in this field.

The Neuropathology laboratory, AIIMS was established by Professor Subimal Roy in mid 1970s. As the doyen of Neuropathology, he was one of those who introduced the specialty of Neuropathology in this country at a time when the branch was still evolving in other parts of the world. The Neuropathology laboratory delivers a wide range of diagnostic and research services with a particular expertise in neuro-oncology, epilepsy, inflammatory diseases of the CNS, neurodegenerative diseases, peripheral nerve and adult and paediatric muscle diseases. The research activities in this section have been widely cited and put on the global map of Neuropathology.

Dr. Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences, named after the first President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, was established on the 10th of March, 1967 as a National centre for ophthalmic science, to provide state of the art patient care, expand human resources for medical education and undertake research to find solutions to eye health problems of national importance.
Prof L P Agarwal was the visionary, who envisaged an eye center that would be at the fore front of eye health planning, academics and clinical care. It was designed keeping in mind the specific needs of India, and included the best features of leading ophthalmic centers around the world.
Prof L PAgarwal and the RPC were instrumental in making India the first country to start a National Programme for Prevention of visual impairment and Control of Blindness. The Centre formed the apex of the pyramid of Ophthalmic services in India, under this programme.
RPC has been recognized over the years, as a center of excellence by policy makers, professionals and the discerning public. All its expertise is available to the common man at highly subsidized rates or free.
The Centre is a constituent unit of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, wherein it retains the fullest autonomy, while still keeping it within the mainstream of medical education and health care.
Dr.R.P. Centre continues to play a pivotal role in the National Programme for Control of Blindness. Faculty members of the Centre provide technical inputs at various forums that deliberate on policy planning and programme implementation. We have contributed our share in various blindness surveys and rapid assessments that have been conducted under the National Programme. As part of the Working Group, we have assisted in the framing of the Plan of Action under the Vision 2020 initiative. The Plan of Action shall guide the National Programme for Control of Blindness in the years to come. The Centre continues to foster partnerships with nongovernmental organizations engaged in the field of eye care. The centre has developed software for the National Registry of Eye Care infrastructure and human resources in India” this was done to support vision 2020 activities in India. This will be of immense use for policy planning in future.

What is Avian Influenza?
Avian influenza, or “bird flu” or “avian flu” is an infection caused by avian (bird) influenza (flu) viruses. These flu viruses occur naturally among birds. Wild birds worldwide carry the viruses in their intestines, but usually do not get sick from them. However, bird flu is very contagious among birds and can make some domesticated birds, including chickens and ducks, very sick and kill them.
Do avian flu viruses infect humans?
Bird flu viruses do not usually infect humans, but several cases of human infection with bird flu viruses have occurred since 1997.
How does avian flu spread in birds?
Infected birds shed flu virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces (droppings). Susceptible birds become infected when they have contact with contaminated excretions or surfaces that are contaminated with excretions.
How does avian flu spread in humans?
It is believed that most cases of bird flu infection in humans have resulted from contact with infected poultry or contaminated surfaces. There is no evidence of human-to-human transmission so far.
What is a pandemic?
A pandemic is an epidemic that usually affects a large proportion of the population, occurring over a wide geographic area such as a section of a nation, the entire nation, a continent or the world.
should be done if migratory birds are sighted near one’s house?
Migratory birds may or may not carry the avian flu virus. It depends on whether these birds have flown from a region where avian flu is prevalent. This can be determined only by an expert. Therefore in case a migratory bird is sighted, it should not be killed. However, as a precaution, one should stay away from these birds and their droppings. The municipal authorities should be informed immediately.
What should be done if one sight’s a dead bird?
If the cause of death of the bird is not certain, the municipal authorities should be informed immediately. They may send the bird for testing to find out whether or not it was infected with the avian influenza virus.In case of unusual death of poultry, the civic authorities must be informed immediately.
Can avian flu be contracted by visiting a shop that is next to a shop that sells chicken?
In the event of a pandemic of avian flu, it is possible
Is it safe to eat poultry and poultry products?
Poultry and poultry products can be prepared and consumed as usual, with no fear of acquiring infection with the avian flu virus.One should continue to follow good hygienic and cooking practices.The virus is destroyed at a temperature of 70o C for 30 minutes. After handling poultry and eggs, one should wash hands and other exposed parts with soap and water.
Are the chicken droppings on eggs infective?
As it is likely that the eggs that reach the consumer were laid several hours ago, the likelihood of infection is low, even if the droppings were carrying the avian flu virus. The avian flu virus is destroyed by drying, and exposure to sunlight for a few hours.
However, in the event of a pandemic, recent droppings are to be considered infective unless proven otherwise.
Is it safe to use chicken-droppings as manure?
During a pandemic, do not come in contact with fresh droppings. Use some other manure until such time the pandemic has cleared
How can avian flu be controlled in poultry?
At present, culling is the only way to contain avian flu in poultry.
Can domestic normal-appearing ducks spread avian flu?
Yes they can. In fact, waterfowls are known to be reservoirs of infection. The avian flu virus does not harm these waterfowls. However the waterfowls can spread the avian flu virus to humans. These waterfowls are therefore “carriers” of avian flu.
Can a person suffering from influenza suffer from avian flu at the same time?
Yes, it is possible. Neither suffering from influenza, nor vaccination against human influenza offers protection against avian flu. However, health care providers and others who are at high risk of infection should get themselves vaccinated against human influenza virus so that they are at least protected against one of them.
What are the symptoms and signs of avian flu in humans?
Cough, fever, sore throat, muscle aches, pneumonia and other complications
What is the test for avian flu?
A throat swab is taken from the patient to test for avian flu.
Which are the places where such testing is done?
The testing facilities are currently available at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, and National Institute of Virology, Pune.
Is there a vaccine for humans against avian flu?
There is no vaccine for humans against avian flu. The vaccine against human influenza virus does not protect against avian flu.
Are any medicines available to prevent bird flu in humans?
There is no recommendation for the routine use of medicines for the prevention of bird flu in humans.

The Experience of the AIDS Helpline of AIIMS New Delhi
The AIIMS experiene In November 1998, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi established an AIDS Education & Training Cell to create awareness about HIV/AIDS in the General Public. On of the schemes Iaunched to achieve this foal was a free telephone help line called `Shubhchintak' (`well-wisher' in Hindi). This hep line launched on December 1998 has answered the queries of many callers. `Shubhchintak' works from 10:00am to 5:00pm on all working days from Monday to Friday and on Saturdays from 10:00am to 1:00pm. All calls are handled by person with counselling skills. The hame, age, gender, address, phone number or any other identification of the caller is not asked for so that the caller remains totally anonymous and can ask any type of question without fear or anxiety. The significant difference between this help line and others is that it is interactive and caters to the specific personal problems of the callers.On an average `Shubhchintak' recives about 32 calls per day. However, whenever a writ-up appears in the press or an announcement is made on All India Radio, the number of calls go up on that day and a few days thereafter. It is found that 87.9% of the callers are males while 12.1% are females. Though we cannot comment on the age of the callers, they seemed to by young persons (approximately 15-30 years age group). Some of the questions asked by the calllers:
Writhe is AIDS? What causes AIDS?
Difference between HIV & AIDS?
Modes of transmission
Windows period
Methods to prevent AIDS?
There were also questions regarding the blood test for HIV (such as when and where it could be done, cost of the test, time taken for reporting and reliability of FLISAtest;) some of the callers were curious to know whether `oral sec' causes AIDS. Many callers asked about the risk of getting HIV/AIDS quoting personal experiences and problems. The AIIMS experience points out that given an opportunity the grneral punblic, especially young people, want to know about HIV/AIDS and opportunityes nedd to be created to address these queries in a scientific and cost effective manner. In this situation interactive help line have an Important role to play. (Dr Bir Singh, Additional Professor & Dr V.P. Reddaiah, Professor & Head, Centre for Community Midicine, AIIMS, New Delhi)

The Experience of the AIDS Helpline of AIIMS New Delhi
The AIIMS experiene In November 1998, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi established an AIDS Education & Training Cell to create awareness about HIV/AIDS in the General Public. On of the schemes Iaunched to achieve this foal was a free telephone help line called `Shubhchintak' (`well-wisher' in Hindi). This hep line launched on December 1998 has answered the queries of many callers. `Shubhchintak' works from 10:00am to 5:00pm on all working days from Monday to Friday and on Saturdays from 10:00am to 1:00pm. All calls are handled by person with counselling skills. The hame, age, gender, address, phone number or any other identification of the caller is not asked for so that the caller remains totally anonymous and can ask any type of question without fear or anxiety. The significant difference between this help line and others is that it is interactive and caters to the specific personal problems of the callers.On an average `Shubhchintak' recives about 32 calls per day. However, whenever a writ-up appears in the press or an announcement is made on All India Radio, the number of calls go up on that day and a few days thereafter. It is found that 87.9% of the callers are males while 12.1% are females. Though we cannot comment on the age of the callers, they seemed to by young persons (approximately 15-30 years age group). Some of the questions asked by the calllers:
Writhe is AIDS? What causes AIDS?
Difference between HIV & AIDS?
Modes of transmission
Windows period
Methods to prevent AIDS?
There were also questions regarding the blood test for HIV (such as when and where it could be done, cost of the test, time taken for reporting and reliability of FLISAtest;) some of the callers were curious to know whether `oral sec' causes AIDS. Many callers asked about the risk of getting HIV/AIDS quoting personal experiences and problems. The AIIMS experience points out that given an opportunity the grneral punblic, especially young people, want to know about HIV/AIDS and opportunityes nedd to be created to address these queries in a scientific and cost effective manner. In this situation interactive help line have an Important role to play. (Dr Bir Singh, Additional Professor & Dr V.P. Reddaiah, Professor & Head, Centre for Community Midicine, AIIMS, New Delhi)

Prof. Nagarur Gopinath who established the dept of Cardiothoracic surgery at the AIIMS in 1964, passed away on Sunday,3rd june, 2007 at Bangalore. He was 84.
He began open heart surgery at the AIIMS in 1964, and began a training program in CTVS, leading to the M.Ch degree in 1966.He has trained a large number of students including half the faculty at the AIIMS. His students are now heading many of the departments in the country.He received the padma Shri from the govt. of India, and the wockhardt lifetime achievement award in 2004,and the lifetime achievement award from the Indian Association of cardiovascular-Thoracic surgeons in 2000.
Following his retirement in 1982 he continued to serve the AIIMS as Emeritus professor and contributed many monographs and papers on preventive aspects of heart disease. He is survived by Mrs. Gopinath, one daughter and two sons. The cardiothoracic centre will certainly feel the void left behind by Prof.Gopinath which will be difficult to fill.

Research Focus: Pain arising from burn injury is a devastating experience for patients. Results of our research in rodents show that blocking the B2 subtype of bradykinin receptor produces significant relief from burn-induced pain. An attempt to test this alternative hypothesis in a clinical trial to be conducted in the largest burn unit in the country could not be done, due to lack of funds. Other putative drugs, which have shown efficacy in rodents are the cannabinoid type 1 receptor and the somatostatin type 2A receptor agonist. These could relieve specific parameters of pain like pain-at-rest but not touch-induced allodynia.

Intrathecal catheterization with drug administration in rodents is a novel technique for simulating intraspinal administration of drugs during cardiac surgery. I underwent training at the Anesthesia Research Laboratory of University of California at San Diego for 3 months in 2008. It was supported by an International biomedical associateship grant from Indian Council of Medical Research, N. Delhi.
Substance P receptor antagonists when administered through catheters in rodents proved effective in ameliorating post-operative pain. A more potent effect was obtained when it was combined with local peripheral administration.

As part of the Department Hospital Administration, AIIMS Delhi, various training and courses are imparted. For further details,
The Department of Pathology at A.I.I.M.S, founded in 1957, has been a pioneer in the field of pathology since its inception. The Department is a leading innovator in research, service and education. It has established a lead in medical research involving nutrition, cell differentiation, epidemiology, virology, various malignancies and neuro-sciences. Department of pathology is providing specialised pathology and Oncopathology services to whole of AIIMS and Dr.B .R.A IRCH (Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Institute Rotary Cancer Hospital) for many years.
The department of Oncopathology at NCI Jhajjar forms the backbone of all Oncology services provided at our center. Since its inception, the department has grown from strength to strength and aims to set up the Units of Histopathology, Cytology, Immunohistochemistry, Cytogenetics and Molecular pathology. Working in close coordination with teams from AIIMS Delhi, we strive to establish a world class diagnostic center dedicated to care and management of cancer patients.
Department of pathology is also providing full Oncopathology services to NCI Jhajjar with full involvement of all specialities as detailed below
Nuclear Medicine is a specialized branch of medicine that encompasses arrays of radiopharmaceuticals for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes throughout the patient care continuum. The department at NCI has state-of- art facilities such as a digital ready 128 slice PET/CT and 16 Slice SPECT/CT, and currently offers the most commonly performed oncological studies.
Medical Physics Unit at IRCH and NCI is instrumental in providing licensing and compliance with the regulations of Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) to all x-ray imaging machines, radiation safety and quality in imaging related services to all those departments which uses radiation in imaging, patient services and research activities. We look after radiation related research in medical radiological imaging in mammography, CT, ultrasound, radiography, fluoroscopy and angiography, radiation dosimetry in patient in imaging, reduction of dose without compromising diagnostic information, radiation protection and measurement of radiation dose to staff and attendants, irradiation of blood bag before blood transfusion to patients, radiation protection survey for radiological imaging installation all over AIIMS and NCI. Our activity includes staff and public education regarding radiation safety, besides imparting knowledge (in form of regular classes) in the field of Medical Physics and Radiation Safety to MD (radiology), MBBS students, B.Sc. Radiography, M.Sc. Biophysics, M.Sc. Cardio-radiology, nursing students and other interested groups and individuals which includes trainees from other hospitals. The unit provides consultation in any untoward accidental radiation exposure to patient, public or staff. Our endeavour makes radiation installations safe for patient, staff and public for which there is a great concern now-a-days. We have a viable PhD programme in Medical Physics running in the department.
The Department started functioning in 1983 with help of x-ray and mammography unit. It developed gradually. Today, the department, along with NCI Jhajjar has 3 CT machines, 1 MRI, 2 DSA, 2 mammography units with digital breast Tomosynthesis and Contrast enhanced mammography, in addition to numerous ultrasound and radiography units, including fluoroscopy and portable radiography. The department provides services to inpatients and outpatients of BRA-IRCH and NCI Jhajjar
Equipment | BRA-IRCH | NCI Jhajjar |
---|---|---|

MRI | 0 | 1 +1 (in process) |
DSA | 1 | 1 |
The department provides diagnostic as well as interventional radiology services to cancer patients. Diagnostic CT scans, MRI, Ultrasound, Xray, Mammography are performed. Interventional procedures include biopsy and fine needle aspiration cytology under CT, Ultrasound and mammography guidance, percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage, percutaneous nephrostomy, transarterial angioembolisation, Nerve blocks for pain relief, NG tube insertion, percutaneous gastrostomy, tumor ablative proVacuum assisted biopsy, clip placement and wire localisation of breast masses and vascular procedures such as peripherally inserted central line catheter and angioembolisation procedures.
The department boasts of turn-around report times of 24 hours. Dates for routine imaging (CT and Ultrasound) of all in-patients are given the next working day.
CThe Department of Head and Neck Oncology at the National Cancer Institute, Jhajjar, strives to offer affordable and quality service to patients with head and neck cancer. The department currently provides daily outpatient services (Monday to Friday), including various office-based procedures. We ensure optimal and quality clinical in-patient services in the current 20-bedded ward on the 5th floor. Additionally, we run a multidisciplinary disease management group twice a week (Tuesday and Friday) and a swallowing clinic with a facility for Functional endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) for appropriate rehabilitation of the patients after surgery in the OPD setting. Emergency services (management of airway and bleeding in relation to head and neck cancers) are offered round the clock. We are equipped with nasal endoscopy and fiberoptic laryngoscopy for clinical oncologic examination.
The department runs eight operation theaters weekly (Monday to Friday). It offers surgical treatment of cancer related to the domain of Otorhinolaryngology (maxillectomy, laryngectomy, neck dissection, glossectomy, thyroidectomies, mandibulectomy, etc.) for early and advanced oral, laryngeal, and other head and neck cancers.
In addition to clinical care, the department has also been playing a prominent role in academic and research activities. Residents training (MS {ENT} and MCh {Head and Neck Cancer Surgery}) is being undertaken with an emphasis on clinical care, research, and teaching aspects. The teaching courses in the subspecialties of Head and neck oncology are being conducted regularly.
Cancer is emerging as a major public health problem globally. As per WHO GLOBOCAN 2020, 1.32 million new cases of cancer are detected each year in India and 0.85 million succumb to this deadly disease. Cancer treatment requires a multimodal management approach. Surgery is one of the main modalities for treating cancer and 90 % of cancer patients need some surgical intervention. The surgical specialty dealing with cancer management is known as Surgical Oncology.
Background: Dedicated surgical oncology services at Dr. BRA-IRCH were started in 1988. Prof NK Shukla was the first faculty to initiate cancer surgical services and Dr. SVS Deo joined as second faculty in 1995. The unit was recognized as an independent Department of Surgical Oncology in the year 2001 and the services were further expanded to 46 Surgical beds, 6 bedded ICU and 3 major Operation theaters in 2005.

Department of Radiation Oncology at NCI Jhajjar started functioning on May 29th, 2019 with brachytherapy. Subsequently, Linear Accelerator facilities were Inaugurated on 14th November 2019 in the presence of Director AIIMS Delhi Dr. Randeep Guleria, Head-NCI Dr. GK Rath, and Head of Department Dr. DN Sharma. Since thenaround 33,399 radiation fractions have been delivered via Linear Accelerator and 1108 patientstreated with brachytherapy. Apart from Radiation Treatment delivery, we are also running OPD and IPD services.OPD services are running since November 2019 site and organ-specific in collaboration with other departments. We have fully functional IPD services with 24 Bedded ward. Our effort toward patient care is reflected in the fact that during the COVID-era when all the regular services were affected Department of Radiation Oncology provided its services to the patients without hampering patient care.
Preventive Oncology NCI:
Preventive oncology includes measures that are taken to prevent the development or delay progression of cancer. Cancer prevention is taken on three major levels:
(A). Primary Cancer Prevention: It focuses on health promotion, identifying causative factors and reducing the risk of cancer. For example, alcohol and tobacco cessation, weight reduction, vaccination, healthy lifestyle, etc.
(B) Secondary Cancer Prevention: It focuses on early cancer detection through screening before the onset of symptoms when the cancers are likely to be treated successfully. For example, mammography, HPV-DNA test, oral visual inspection, PSA test, etc.
(C) Tertiary Cancer Prevention: It focuses on delaying the progression and preventing the complications like secondary malignancies after cancer diagnosis.
Why it's important:
Cancer prevention is done at both individual and community level for reducing the risk and incidence of cancer. By preventing cancer, the number of new cases of cancer will be lowered and thus reducing overall cancer burden. Early diagnosis will lead to optimal cancer management and improved survival.
Preventive Oncology at NCI-Jhajjar envisages to
develop evidence-based approaches and technical resources for cancer prevention and control in India through:
A need was felt by the nursing administrators that a planned nursing in-service education needs to be started so as to increase the knowledge base of practicing nurses in order to improve & maintain high standard of nursing care at the AIIMS Hospital.
To increase the existing knowledge base of nurses practicing clinical nursing.
To improve and maintain high standard of nursing care to patients at the AIIMS Hospital., which would increase the satisfaction level of patients / relatives.
To improve communication skills among nursing personnel at AIIMS.
To update knowledge regarding handling / upkeep of latest & sophisticated instruments and gadgets.
To enable nurses to secure credit points for renewing their nursing license by the DNC.
Nursing in-service education is one of the cornerstones in professional development of nursing personnel working in AIIMS. A need based nursing in-service program has been started w.e.f. January 2011. This is started with the aim of updating clinical nursing knowledge on the premise of continuing nursing education. The program is well structured with thrice a week classes.( Two classes for bedside nurses and one class for Sister in-charges and above)
This is done for practicing nurses to increase their knowledge base in order to improve the standard of nursing care at the AIIMS. Once a week classes are conducted for middle level managers focusing on Nursing Administration and Management. In the month of January 2011, a well organized induction & orientation program was conducted for 133 newly recruited nurses at the main hospital by the In-service nursing educator.
In 2012, a total of 297 newly recruited nurses got oriented by designated nursing personnel in two sessions, regarding various aspects viz. hospital layout, various departments, OPD schedules and their professional duties and responsibilities.

PROTOCOL
POST-HIV EXPOSURE MANAGEMENT / PROPHYLAXIS (PEP)
Occupational exposure:
Occupational exposure refers to exposure to potential blood-borne infections (HIV, HBV and HCV) that occurs during performance of job duties.
“Exposure” which may place an HCP at risk of blood-borne infection is defined as:
What is infectious and what is not?
TABLE 12.3.4 POTENTIALLY INFECTIOUS BODY FLUIDS | ||
Exposure to body fluids considered ‘at risk’ | Exposure to body fluids considered ‘not at risk’ | |
Blood | Tears | Unless these secretions contain visible blood |
Semen | Sweat | |
Vaginal secretions | Urine and Faeces | |
Cerebrospinal fluid | Saliva | |
Synovial, pleural, peritoneal, pericardial fluid | ||
Amniotic fluid | ||
Other body fluids contaminated with visible blood |
Protocol:
It is necessary to determine the status of the exposure and the HIV status of the exposure source
before starting post exposure prophylaxis (PEP).
Step 1: Immediate measures
For skin — if the skin is broken after a needle-stick or sharp instrument:
· Immediately wash the wound and surrounding skin with water and soap, and rinse. Do not scrub.
· Do not use antiseptics or skin washes (bleach, chlorine, alcohol, betadine).
After a splash of blood or body fluids on unbroken skin:
· Wash the area immediately
· Do not use antiseptics
For the eye:
· Irrigate exposed eye immediately with water or normal saline. Sit in a chair, tilt head back and ask a colleague to gently pour water or normal saline over the eye.
· If wearing contact lens, leave them in place while irrigating, as they form a barrier over the eye and will help protect it. Once the eye is cleaned, remove the contact lens and clean them in the normal manner. This will make them safe to wear again
· Do not use soap or disinfectant on the eye.
For mouth:
· Spit fluid out immediately
· Rinse the mouth thoroughly, using water or saline and spit again. Repeat this process several times
· Do not use soap or disinfectant in the mouth
· Consult the designated physician of the institution for management of the exposure immediately.
Don’ts
· Do not panic
· Do not squeeze wound to bleed it
· Do not use bleach, chlorine, alcohol, betadine, iodine or any antiseptic or detergent
Step II: Prompt reporting:
a) All needle-stick/sharp injuries should be reported to the immediate supervisor, and then to the Casualty Medical Officer.
b) An entry is made in the Needle-Stick Injury Register in the Casualty.
Step III: Post exposure treatment:
The decision to start PEP is made on the basis of degree of exposure to HIV and the HIV statusof the source from where the exposure/infection has occurred. More so, it should begin as soon as possible preferably within two hours, and is notrecommended after 72 hours.
PEP is not needed for all types of exposures:The HIV seroconversion rate of 0.3% after an AEB (accidental exposure to blood) (for percutaneous exposure) is an average rate. The risk of infection transmission is proportional to the amount of HIV transmitted, which depends on the nature of exposure and the status of the source patient. A baseline rapid HIV testing of exposed and source person must be done for PEP. However, initiation of PEP should not be delayed while waiting for the results of HIV testing of the source of exposure. Informed consent should be obtained before testing of the source as per national HIV testing guidelines.
First PEP dose within 72 hours
A designated person/trained doctor must assess the risk of HIV and HBV transmission following an AEB. This evaluation must be quick so as to start treatment without any delay, ideally within two hours but certainly within 72 hours; PEP is not effective when given more than 72 hours after exposure. The first dose of PEP should be administered within the first 72 hours of exposure. If the risk is insignificant, PEP could be discontinued, if already commenced.
Step IV: Counselling for PEP
Exposed persons (clients) should receive appropriate information about what PEP is about and the risk and benefits of PEP in order to provide informed consent for taking PEP. It should be clear that PEP is not mandatory.
Step V: Psychological support
Many people feel anxious after exposure. Every exposed person needs to be informed about the risks, and the measures that can be taken. This will help to relieve part of the anxiety. Some clients may require further specialised psychological support.
Step VI: Documentation of exposure
Documentation of exposureis essential. Special leave from workshould be considered initially for a period of two weeks. Subsequently, it can be extended based on the assessment of the exposed person’s mental state, side effects and requirements.
IMPORTANT: Seek expert opinion in case of
· Delay in reporting exposure (> 72 hours).
· Unknown source
· Known or suspected pregnancy, but initiate PEP
· Breastfeeding mothers, but initiate PEP
· Source patient is on ART
· Major toxicity of PEP regimen.
Step VII: Follow-up of an exposed person
Whether or not post-exposure prophylaxis is started, a follow up is needed to monitor for possible infections and to provide psychological support.
Clinical follow-up
In the weeks following an AEB, the exposed person must be monitored for the eventual appearance of signs indicating an HIV seroconversion: acute fever, generalized lymphadenopathy, cutaneous eruption, pharyngitis, non-specific flu symptoms and ulcers of the mouth or genital area. These symptoms appear in 50%-70% of individuals with an HIV primary (acute) infection and almost always within 3 to 6 weeks after exposure. When a primary (acute) infection is suspected, referral to an ART centre or for expert opinion should be arranged rapidly.
An exposed person should be advised to use precautions (e.g., avoid blood or tissue donations, breastfeeding, unprotected sexual relations or pregnancy) to prevent secondary transmission, especially during the first 6–12 weeks following exposure. Condom use is essential.Drug adherence and side effect counselling should be provided and reinforced at every follow-up visit. Psychological support and mental health counselling is often required.
Laboratory follow-up
Exposed persons should have post-PEP HIV tests. HIV-test at 3 months and again at 6 months is recommended. If the test at 6 months is negative, no further testing is recommended.

Clinical Neuropsychology at the Neurosciences Centre, AIIMS in New Delhi, India, provides para-clinical services following the terminology outlined by the Sneh Bhargava Commission (2012) This specialized service encompasses a comprehensive range of neuropsychological services, including psycho-diagnostics (which involves clinical history taking, psychometric assessment, and clinical observation), remediation (involving counseling and rehabilitation), and neuropsychological disability evaluations. These services address both cognitive and non-cognitive aspects for individuals with neurological and neurosurgical conditions. Established in 1969 with the appointment of Dr. Surya Gupta, this discipline has played a significant role in advancing clinical neuropsychology in the country, aiming to deliver services in line with international standards for the benefit of patients at the Neurosciences Centre at AllMS.
Furthermore, the discipline has been enriched through clinical neuropsychological educational programs in neuropsychology for M.B.B.S., Nursing, DM (Neurology), MCh (Neurosurgery), and MD (Psychiatry) students. Presently, it also supervises research projects for postgraduate students from these departments, focusing on neuropsychological psychometric assessments. The creation of distinctive neuropsychological test batteries, such as the 'AIIMS Neuropsychological Battery,' represents a significant achievement in assessing organicity, lateralization, and lobar functions across various age groups, including Adults, Children, and the Elderly. These efforts have been supported by three research projects funded by the ICMR.
Since 2005, our research and clinical services have expanded to include the development of neuropsychological screening tools for clinicians to use in their practices, history taking forms, tests, and a variety of neuropsychological rehabilitation programs for neurological and neurosurgical conditions. Committed to enhancing patient care, we provide advanced Neuropsychological services tailored to individuals with neurological disorders. By closely collaborating with clinicians at AIIMS, New Delhi, who act as primary healthcare providers in a hospital setting, we adhere to the World Health Organization's Continuum of Care Model to address the specific needs that prompt referrals.

In India, the concept of “Neuroanaesthesia as a subspeciality” of Anaesthesia was recognized, way back in 1968, when Dr. Surinder Singh Saini volunteered to anaesthetize the neurosurgical patients at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, on a regular basis. Formal training in Neuroanaesthesia, for post-graduate degree holders (MD) of Anaesthesia, for trainees from all over India, was started in 1982. In 1987, an independent Department of Neuroanaesthesia was established under the leadership of Prof. S S Saini as the Head along with two more faculties, Dr. Hari Hara Dash as Assistant Professor and Dr. Parmod Kumar Bithal as Lecturer. Five Senior Resident (SR) doctors joined them for assisting the clinical activities of the department.
In August 1989, the Department was shifted to the newly built the Cardiothoracic and Neurosciences Centre (CNC) of AIIMS (present location) along with other sister departments. Facilities during that time included three well-equipped operation theatres (OTs), one emergency (septic) OT, which was shared with the cardiothoracic centre, five-bedded intensive care unit (ICU), and twenty beds for postoperative patients.
In 1995, a process to start three years superspeciality degree course (DM) in Neuroanaesthesiology was initiated under stewardship of Prof. H. H. Dash. It was materialized in 2001, when DM (SR) posts (Six direct and three sponsored) were sanctioned by the Institute body. In 2002, two direct candidates were enrolled, for the first time in India, through a common entrance test. After the JPNA Trauma Centre was established by AIIMS, in 2006, 10 more post of non-DM SR was added to the existing 10 posts. In the subsequent year (2007), two more posts of SR (DM) were again sanctioned making the final tally of open category DM (SR) seats as eight. At present, the department is located in the Neurosciences Centre, at 6/7th floor, with the office operated from room no. 709A. One personal assistant and two office assistants look after the smooth management official activities.
Currently, the Department of Neuroanaesthesiology has expanded its horizon; caters clinical service to six well-equipped neurosurgical OTs, a brain suite (MRI- OT), two neuro-cath Labs, two MRI facilities, One GammaKnife facility, one pain clinic, a pre-anaesthetic check-up (PAC) clinic, two neurosurgical ICUs (total 26 beds), one neurology ICU of five beds, more than two OTs for trauma patients, a twenty-bedded ICU for neurotrauma patients apart from providing resuscitation measures for neurological and neurosurgical ward patients. To meet with the demand of workload, the faculty strength now has been increased to sixteen which includes two professors, four additional professors, and ten assistant professors.
This department has been actively involved with training of Indian defense service personnel and overseas trainees apart from the DM and Non-DM trainees (SRs) of Neuroanaesthesia. So far, 25 candidates have been awarded the DM degree in Neuroanaesthesiology. The department plans to start Neurocritical Care programme in coming years, and to establish this super-speciality in India, the need for which is being realized, nation-wide. The faculty and staff of this department strive hard to ensure that the ‘Department of Neuroanaesthesiology’ continues to be the torch-bearer of perioperative neurosciences, and serve as a role model in this field.

“It was May 1965 that I came to Delhi from Vellore where I was a lecturer, to appear for a Union Public Service Commission interview for the job of Reader at G. B. Pant hospital, Delhi and All India Institute of Mental Health, Bangalore (later to become NIMHANS). I was the only candidate and was asked at the end as to which place would I prefer. I chose Bangalore. Just before leaving for the interview, I had gone to see Dr. Baldev Singh and Dr P. N. Tandon (PNT) at AIIMS to pay a courtesy call. They were sharing an office and I suspect eagerly waiting like spiders, to catch a victim in neurosurgery, who could stick on at AIIMS, which at that time had actually nothing no space, equipment or staff. After a little talking about general things, suddenly, Dr. Baldev Singh asked me to think whether I at all wanted to go for the interview, as AIIMS could possibly offer me a job, I of course declined the proposal as a bird in hand was better than two in the bush. Then Dr. Tandon asked me to come home for tea that evening. I left for the Union Public Service Commission office. Today when I see large number of candidates for a job interview my own experience seems miraculous.
Coming back after the interview I recounted what happened to Gopal and his wife Radha (Dr. G.K. Vishwakarma was then Asst. Professor Orthopaedics and later became D.G.H.S. of Government of India) Insidious pressure started from them to come to AIIMS and forget about Bangalore. Incidentally Bangalore had a working, full fledged department with Prof. RM. Verma and he tried hard to get me there even after I joined AIIMS.
That evening I spent at Tandons. Dr. P. N. Tandon had been my Anatomy demonstrator in 1952 while Mrs. Leela Tandon was my lecturer in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Medical College, Lucknow. I had met Dr. P.N. Tandon in 1963 at the annual Neurological Society of India meeting in Calcutta. For both of us it was the very first meeting that we had attended of NSI. Dr. P. N. Tandon had established the department of neurosurgery at AlIMS 2 months before in March 65. He had been promised equipment but nothing had arrived in the two months. He was eager that I should join but was frank to say he did not know how things would eventually develop. After returning to Gopal's house, Radha and Gopal took me to see 'My Fair Lady' at Sheila Theatre which then was the best in Delhi, if not India. After returning well past midnight we slept on the roof and went on talking about what I should do. I think it was near the break of dawn that I finally succumbed to pressures from Gopal and Radha and said OK I'll come to Delhi if the job was offered. Next morning before I left Delhi Dr. Baldev Singh took me to meet Prof. K. L. Wig then Director AIIMS. Our liking for each other was instantaneous and the bond carried throughout.
I joined as adhoc Assistant Professor in June'65. There was one office of Dr. Baldev Singh in which in addition to Dr. P. N. Tandon another chair and a small table was put for me. The process of starting a department began really from scratch. Space was allotted on the first floor by the side of anatomy lecture theatre. I and Dr. V. Virmani (my opposite number in Neurology) sat down to draw maps and carve out rooms in the large halls. At that moment, our vibes were bristly to say the least. Dr. Virmani was considerably senior in age plus she had known Dr. Baldev Singh since Amritsar days and she also held the trump card of being Punjabi speaking which was then the lingua franca of AIIMS. Over the years our relationship mellowed and we did develop mutual admiration and respect for each other. I hit upon the strategy in our dealings at that time of building the departments, of saying exactly opposite of what I wanted. Dr. Virmani would of course, reverse my suggestions much to my advantage. Today when I look back it all appears so childish. But then it was great fun. Slowly collecting items like pins, chairs, tables, almirahs and make real offices was a new challenge for which I was not trained. Anyway we built the office cubicles, laboratories and got the OPD on the 4th floor in ship shape. It was so gratifying after two years of joining that we had a place of our own.
We started with surgical instruments which actually were of World War II vintage which included an operation table. Burr holes had to be made by a brace in 4 stages and both Dr. Tandon and I developed the art to perfection. To begin with we had no beds. Both for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Prof. K.L. Wig and the Pediatricians generously allowed us use of their beds in what is now the nurses hostel. There was so little clinical work that it was terribly frustrating in the beginning. I started taking clinics for the MD students of medicine, pediatrics and radiology. I slowly became quite popular to the extent that one day Dr. Wig called me to see one of his patients in his office. I must have impressed him no end as after that on several occasions he would ask for my opinion on patients. This was a small matter for him but a great boost for my confidence for which my gratitude goes to him.
By 1968 we were having a ward in the OPD block (ward IX) and we were well settled. The operation theaters were in the College of Nursing Block. Radiology to begin with was in the nurses hostel, and only in 1968 shifted to its present location. That was the time when we had Dr. S. K. Ghosh in radiology from 1965 to 1968 and he was a great help. Very often we started the day at 7.30 A.M. with ward rounds, dressings and stitch removals, followed by neuroradiology (ventriculograms angiograms etc) and then this was followed by surgery which would invariably end by 7 or 8 P.M., particularly if it was a posterior fossa tumour. At night one of us i.e. PNT or myself would sleep in the doctors room adjacent to the main O.T. block. From 1966 onwards Dr. B.B. Sawhney and Dr. M. Gourie Devi, now Director and Vice Chancellor NIMHANS who were residents in neurology would help us out by doing night duties and also assist in surgery as we did not have regular residents of our own. The role played by Col. G.C. Tandon, the Professor of Anaesthesia, was unforgettable. Dr. Hattangdi's lectures in anaesthesia helped us enormously and he also shared our burden in looking after patients, sometimes relieving us of our daily chores. The two films I saw with Anjali, my wife, during the time was courtesy of Hattangadi. Before I proceed I must tell of my first day in the operation theatre block (MOT) in the consultants changing room, where I went on my own apprehensively, to discover its ambience. The only person there in OT dress was reading an Agatha Christie paperback with great seriousness. On entering he asked me as to who I was and then got up with great cordiality and shook me by the hands. That was Dr. Satish Nayyar, Assistant Professor in Surgery well known as he was a Hallet medalist in the primary FRCS examination. Dr. Satish Nayyar gave me a cup of tea and then said that I must cultivate some hobby (his was reading mystery novels) as Assistant Professors had nothing to do as the Professor usurped all the work which was worthwhile, while all the minor work was done by the Registrars (later called residents). I went into depression from which it took me a long time to come out. Within a week I took courage in my hands and went to talk it over with PNT. We decided that alternate cases would be operated by us while the other would assist. Matters went on well but I was perturbed over the fact that if he assisted, he would go out and talk to the patients attendants before I could come out. Again I went to him in 1968 and PNT graciously agreed he wouldn't do so. This was a remarkable thing at AIIMS. My struggle for identity of Assistant Professors went on to the faculty over such oligarchy and it was ultimately in 1970 that I was able to change the nomenclature of hospital units which hitherto were identified with the head, to that of the departments. Thus Prof. P.N.T's unit changed to Neurosurgery unit-a practice which continues today. I have always felt that to obtain the best from colleagues a measure of democracy and participation should be the prime substance PNT's contribution towards this was immense which allowed me to put my heart and soul in developing the department and later the Neurosciences Centre. I guess the role of wives is also very great. Our families (Tandon and Banerji) were close to each other and even today no major decision in the Banerji family takes place without Tandons consultation. I guess this meeting was lucky for both of us.
In 1969 Dr. S.K. Ghosh left for Goa on promotion as Professor and Neuroradiology was taken over by Dr. R.K. Goulatia for whom a separate post was created in neuroradiology. In mid 70's Dr. S.S. Saini was persuaded to join Neuroanaesthesia and this started the nucleus of a comprehensive clinical setup. Fortunately we were able to persuade (Mrs. D. Saini to join as our OT sister incharge and thus there was a feeling of family and belonging, so important in the development phases of any new venture. Dr. Subimal Roy was spending considerable time in Neuropathology to complete the picture. I had a vision of Neurosciences Centre akin to PNT, however I knew that basic neurosciences can never develop on its own because of economic compulsions. My emphasis was on developing clinical neurosciences and bring in basic neurosciences within its umbrella.
By mid 70's both neurosurgery and neurology had relocated itself on the main hospitals 4th floor and we were lucky to have separate independent wards. Mrs. M. Bindra joined us as sister I/C of neurosurgery ward and her dedication eventually made our ward the talking point of nursing care in the Institute. She eventually rose to become the Nursing Superintendent of the Neurosciences Centre.
In 1966 one day, walked into my office Dr. Brahm Prakash, who had resigned his Short Service Commission in the army and had married recently. He was at loose ends, asking my advise as to what he should do. He had earlier worked as my junior resident in general surgery at Medical College, Lucknow and the association was about 10 yrs. old. I persuaded him to join neurosurgery. We were able to rustle up the required formalities for starting MCh course with bare facilities but boundless enthusiasm. He was the first trainee and later joined our faculty and went on to become the Director Professor at G.B. Pant Hospital and started his own MCh programme. The AlIMS MCh course went from strength to strength and eventually we were having both the 5 yr and 3 yr streams. Neurology D.M. had started already in 1965. Now AlIMS trainees are spread all over India. Several headed departments e.g? Dr. Gourie Devi became Director Vice Chancellor of NIMHANS, Dr. B. Prakash at G.B. Pant Hospital Delhi, Dr. B.S. Das at NIMHANS, Dr. S. Mohanty at IMS, BHU Varanasi, Dr. A. K. Reddy at NIMS Hyderabad, and Dr. M.A. Wani at SKIMS Srinagar. Many hold important positions in teaching as well as private sector. We i.e. PNT and I are inordinately proud of all who trained themselves with us and wish them all the best in their future endeavors. Our wish is that they better us in their achievements. A major breakthrough in our clinical services occurred in 1976 with the coming of Prof. H.W. Pia who did a course in laboratory microsurgery. In the next few years we started a microsurgery laboratory and operative microsurgery was initiated. In the Indian scenario we stole the lead. In late 60's with the help of our ENT surgeon Dr. S.K. Kacker we started trans-sphenoidal pituitary surgery which consolidated in the 70's and became a routine procedure.
The process of development of the Neurosciences Centre in collaboration with the Cardiothoracic Sciences Centre started in real earnest in early 70's. Dr. N. Gopinath of Cardiothoracic Surgery and PNT were the architects. Land allocation was done by Prof. V. Ramalingaswami, the then Director AIIMS. Ghosh and Pradhan Associates were appointed architects and their started the planning for the basement, ground floor and the operation theatre block of our centre. Hours and hours of meetings with the architects-designing and tearing plans, it went on and on. I heard my wife say that I started talking of planning even in my sleep. We were about ready to have the foundation stone laying. This was 1977 and Mrs. Indira Gandhi's infamous emergency was coming to an end. One afternoon, in PNT's office, Dr. N. Gopinath suddenly said it would be nice to have Mrs. Gandhi lay the foundation stone. I had recently treated Mr. Dhawan's (then the personal secretary to Mrs. Indira Gandhi) nephew and I said shall I try. I rang him up on the phone from PNTs office. Mr. Dhawan immediately said yes and wanted probable days and times so that it could be confirmed taking into account Mrs. Gandhi's tour programmes. Elections were round the corner and Dr. Ramalingaswami wisely asked us to go slow. Mrs. Gandhi lost the elections and it is possible that the Janata Government which followed may have taken offence and delayed the start of the Centre had we got Mrs.lndira Gandhi to lay our foundation stone. Eventually, President Mr.Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy lay the foundation stone in 1978. When the building started many problems surfaced e.g. we suddenly discovered that there were very few toilets while most of the patients of cardiology were on diuretics and required use of toilets frequently. Again to the drawing boardbreaking of walls, laying of new sewer lines and so new toilets came into being. I know the OPD and of course the toilets have today become too inadequate with increasing number of patients coming to the Centre.
The brief period of Janata regime from 1977 and 1979 saw the irrepressible Mr. Raj Narain come as the Health Minister. All work in the Ministry came to a halt as also our Centre which bore the backlash of erratic ways of Mr. Raj Narain. The only thing I remember was meeting him near the present Community Medicine Department late in the evening, Mr. Raj Narain was coming to inaugurate, if I remember correctly, the Centre of Community Medicine. As usual he was hours late and the then Director Dr. L.P. Agarwal was standing with 3to4 faculty members. I tried slinking away but Dr. L.P. Agarwal called me and more or less forced me to stay on awaiting Mr. Raj Narain. He eventually came when the numbers of people waiting was not more than half a dozen. Before going to cut the ribbon he was introduced to all of us. He was highly intrigued with me and asked what would I find if I did have an opportunity to see the inside of the head of Mrs. Indira Gandhi. I made some polite comments though I was sure Mrs. Gandhi had a better quality brain than Mr. Raj Narain. Anyway he went on to narrate it with great gusto during a special convocation to award an Honorary D. Litt to Dr. Sewoosagar Ramgoolam of Mauritius. It was in such bad taste that Morarji Desai who was chairing frowned and all of us in the auditorium hung our head with embarrassment.
My two stints as Chief of Neurosciences Centre were significant in the development of the Centre. The first was a 2 year term as acting Chief of Centre while Dr. PNT was on Nehru Fellowship between 1984-86. This was the time when after the first phase of building (OPD, radiology wing, basement and OT block) we had reached a dead end as far as expansion of the Centre was concerned. Prof. M. L. Bhatia was the Chief of Cardiothoracie Sciences Centre. Our formal requests for funds were stiffly rebuffed by the then Joint Secretary Finance Adviser (JSFA) of Health Ministry. Ms. Sarla Grewal, widely nick named 'hunterwali' by her unkind colleagues, was the Secretary. We were advised not to try and influence her which could cause an unpredictable antagonism to our proposal. Anyway we went to meet her, placed before her, the developments till date, including our mounting clinical load, increasing public expectations, and the blockades experienced by us for expanding our Centres to what was originally planned. Ms. Grewal quietly listened to us, occasionally interjecting for a clarification. After we completed she asked for the JSFA who was the main stumbling block, to come and join the meeting. The moment he saw us his hackles were raised. On being asked by Ms.Grewal as to what were the problems in giving us the grant he started off with a long list of financial mismanagement by AlIMS in which our Centres had no role to play. (Most of the problems recounted were exaggerated to say the least). Ms. Grewal asked as to why our Centres were being penalised for what AlIMS had done. To this the JSFA said that this is a part of financial management for which he was responsible. Then we saw the legendary Ms. Sarla Grewal come into her elements. In chaste Punjabi she asked the JSFA as to who was the Secretary of the Ministry and how dare he speak to her like that. The poor JSFA spluttered and stuttered and tried to put in a word edgeways. Ms. Grewal asked him to leave the office and we knew that our battle was half won. However after leaving her office both Prof. M.L. Bhatia and I, as a matter of diplomacy, went to the JSFA's office. He was in the dumps. We nursed his hurt ego by asking for his help as we knew that he was quite capable of going to the Finance (Expenditure) Secretary and derail our proposals. I think the strategy worked as he did become a supporter. Of course things were helped as a few close relations of the JSFA fell conveniently ill at the same time requiring cardiac and neurosurgery. Funds eventually came though it took another year and in 1986 the remainder of the present Centre's building was started. Prof. P. Venugopal was a constant source of support in our endeavours. In the same period the next Union Health Secretary was Mr. Srinivasan, who was unenthusiastic about our Centres. His general impression was that we were overstaffed, our equipment underutilized and our clinical output low compared to other hospitals e.g. G. B. Pant Hospital Delhi, Christian Medical College Vellore, and certainly Apollo Hospital Madras which to him was the ultimate in financial management and output. Incidentally he was involved with the starting of Escorts Heart Institute which he clearly told us is a 'better bet than us'. Prof. Bhatia, Venugopal and I went through our records as well as what we could gather from the other institutions which Mr. Srinivasan thought had better quality and quantity of work. He had a meeting separately with our Neurosciences group to take stock. I had taken Dr. Baldev Singh and Dr. P.N. Tandon for the presentation made by me. By the end Mr. Srinivasan was convinced of the genuineness of our proposals. My plea at that time was to get financial grant equal to G.B. Pant Hospital whose output was half of ours. It was a landmark victory as our grants immediately increased, a trend which continued in the future.
My next stint as Chief of Centre was between 1988-95. Finances were forthcoming in good measure We had a CT scan and state of art angiography equipment. Our ICU was the best in the country. What we lacked was a MRI Scanner. I must pay special thanks to Mr. R.L. Mishra who was the Union Health Secretary in the latter part of my assignment. We had an excellent relationship and he was always positive in his approach. It is through his help that we got the NMR department setup at AIIMS, which was far more than merely obtaining MRI equipment. Incidentally even today the NMR Department has the only 2 Tesla machine capable of MR Scan and also MR Spectroscopy. The NMR department also has chemical NMR and the only experimental NMR in India today. It was an unique experience to create a whole department with the help of the then director Dr. S. K. Kacker who was always supportive.
It is during my tenure that proposals were sent to the Government for making the Centre the best equipped not only in India but in the Asian region. The Gamma Knife has started after I retired and I am sure PET scan and other newer equipment would come in due course.
I am often asked as to whether I have any regrets. My special regret is our offices being removed from the main Institute. It was originally envisaged that offices would remain where they were located i.e., adjacent to Anatomy dissection hall. The translocation has severed the umbilical cord to the other specialties in the Institute. This isolation does not augur well for the future of our Centre, as any branch of medicine to flourish requires interaction with sister disciplines. My other regret is the inability to have nonclinical neurosciences to come and establish themselves in our Centers new building. I had tried, even to the extent of keeping a floor vacant for one year under various pretexts.
My greatest gains were the colleagues I had - friends for life. I know I left alive vibrant active Centre which will only grow from strength to strength. Even today for anything I always say Neurosciences Centre, AIIMS is the best and with every breath only wish it the very best in its future endeavors.”

Neurology is one of the earliest super – specialty at the Institute. Dr. James Austin, a Neurologist from Oregon, USA started a nucleus of Neurology service in the department of Medicine in 1962-63. In 1965, Dr Sushila Nayar, then Union health minister, invited Prof. Baldev Singh (one of the founder members of NSI, Neurological Society of India) to start a department of Neurology at AIIMS. When Prof Baldev Singh (also called ‘father of neurology’ in India and lovingly called "Papa Neuron") moved to neurophysiology on his retirement, the department was headed by Dr S N Pathak and then by Dr Vimla Virmani in 1975. After Prof. Vimla Virmani, Prof. M C Maheshwari took charge of the department in 1978. The department was shifted to the Cardiothoracic and Neurosciences Centre in the year 1985. In the year 2001, Prof. M.Behari took over the mantle of leadership. She retired in June 2016. Prof Kameshwar Prasad became the head of the department in October 2013. He retired on 31st January 2019. Prof. MV Padma Srivastava took over the leadership on 1st February 2019. From its inception, the emphasis of the department has been on quality patient care, research and to achieve academic excellence. Though the department started with 25 in patient beds, now there are 75 beds including neurointensive care. Out patient services and inpatient care has been incessantly on the rise over the years. The department has tried to maintain impeccable record of comprehensive patient care, teaching and training of students as well as contribute significantly to the scientific literature in terms of research. The department actively pursues clinical care and research activities in the sub-specialities of Movement Disorders, Neuroinfections and immunology, Stroke, Intractable epilepsy, Neuro-muscular Disorders, Sleep, Headache, Dementia amongst others. The department is equipped with the latest modalities for the diagnosis and management of various neurological disorders. The department has been in the forefront of medical research since its formation and is renowned internationally for quality clinical and basic research, particularly in the field of stem cells, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, epilepsy, neuromuscular disorders, sleep and headache. Regular patient information programs and scientific deliberations are conducted by the department. The faculty of the department routinely participates in the public awareness programs on television, and radio etc. and are active in various national and international CME programs.
“The Departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences were initiated in March 1965 with the appointment of Prof. Baldev Singh and myself as the first Professors. A neurology service in the Department of Medicine started by Dr. Jim Austin from the USA and later under care of Dr. Vimla Virmani was already in existence at that time. Significantly enough the Institute was, from its very inception, an important centre of neuroscience research. The first two Professors in Department of Physiology (Prof. B.K. Anand and Prof. A.S. Paintal) were undisputable leaders of neurophysiology in the country. Dr. Paintal had, however, already moved to Patel Chest Institute a year earlier, the remaining faculty members of the department were all pursuing neurophysiology research. Prof. Keswani, the Chief of Anatomy, was primarily interested in neuroanatomy. Prof. G. P. Talwar, at that stage, was enthusiastically involved in researches in neurochemistry This was of course before his shift to immunology. Acknowledging these strengths International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) had already held one of its earlier workshops in the Institute. Dr. Sriramachari, Deputy Director of Indian Council of Medical Research, though not on the faculty of the Institute freely provided his services for all neuropathological work till several years later when Dr. Subimal Roy took over the responsibility fully. While clinical neurology and neurosurgery departments existed at several centers in the country much earlier; even the oldest such centers at Vellore, Madras, Bombay and Calcutta, did not have such broad base of neuroscience as we were fortunate to have at the Institute. Given the overall milieu of rapid growth and development in the institute at that time, the clinical departments also expanded rapidly. It will be hard for the current staff and students of the Institute to visualize how close interaction existed among all these departments and units in the earlier years. This was in no small measure due to the all pervading influence of Prof. Baldev Singh real father figure for all of us.
The idea of establishing a "Brain Research Centre" at the Institute had already been envisaged by Prof. B.K. Anand even before the clinical departments came into existence. No doubt this was primarily thought of as a basic research centre. Thus on 1st December 1964, Dr. Anand vide his letter No. Phy/64/1235 requested the Director for initiating steps for developing a Brain Research Centre" with the existing ICMR Neurophysiology unit as its nucleus. Unfortunately no action was taken on his request.
In 1968, when the Institute was to formulate its development plans for the Fourth Five Year plan of the Government, Prof. Anand, Prof. Baldev Singh and I had several informal discussions to once again revive the proposal for a Brain Research Centre. It may be mentioned that, not surprisingly, this proposal was heavily loaded in favour of creating research laboratories including a couple for neurology and neurosurgery. While we were heavily constrained in our clinical work due to limited diagnostic and operative facilities at this time we went along with Prof. Anand in supporting this proposal hoping to strengthen the patient care services through the development plan for the Institute hospital which was to be commissioned
The Development Committee approved the proposal in principle, but owing to financial constraints no concrete steps were taken. The Institute Body ultimately agreed to create a few staff positions so that "Centre can make a start as early as the Financial Year 1970/71. In practical terms it amounted to absorbing some of the staff of the Indian Council of Medical Research Neurophysiology Unit and nothing more.
When we finally shifted to the new hospital the Neurosurgery Department had 22 beds allotted to it. We had one operation theatre, but no specialized neurosurgical operation table and no intensive care unit. The neuroradiology set up consisted of a skull table without automatic changer for angiography, no facilities for tomography nor a dedicated unit for myelography. Isotope encephalometry then a routine diagnostic investigation abroad was nonexistent. We had an EEG machine but no facilities for EMG or nerve conduction. Nonetheless we were facing increasing demands for patient care from all over the country and also our neighboring countries. Waiting lists for admission and surgery were a constant source of worry for us and frustration for the suffering patients. We had already started the M. Ch. course.
Similar problems were being faced by the Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery Departments. One day in 1971 when Prof. Gopinath and I were scrubbing for surgery in the common scrub room between our two theatres, he informed me that they have submitted a proposal for a Cardiothoracic Centre "Why don't you also do so, otherwise we will never progress". I, therefore, once again took up this matter with Prof. Anand who was now also the Dean and sounded the Director, Prof. V. Ramalingaswami. On receiving a favorable response, it was decided that, unlike in the past, our proposal this time should be a comprehensive one, including parallel development of basic neurosciences and clinical disciplines. Dr. Manchanda along with Prof. Anand formulated the proposal in respect to basic neurosciences. I, in consultation with Prof. Sumedha Pathak, the then Professor and Head of Department of Neurology and on the advice of Prof. Baldev Singh and Dr. Banerji prepared the plan for the clinical centre. A draft proposal was thus submitted on 16`" July 1971 to the Dean with the comments "in view of the present extent of development at the Institute to start with emphasis will be on neurophysiology, neurology and neurosurgery. Nucleus for the following will be established with a view to development of these into fully fledged specialties, as integral part of the centre, as personnel and fiscal resources were available". These included neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neuropathology. This proposal was discussed by Prof. Baldev Singh (who was now an Emeritus Professor) with Prof. B.K. Anand who agreed with it fully and desired to "go ahead and fill up all the details regarding space, equipment, personnel etc. working out the cost" etc. We agreed to change the name from Brain Research Centre to Neurosciences Centre. We had a detailed and somewhat ambitious plan formulated. Though the plans were ready there was no obvious source for funding it. Was it going to be another document for the archives? This thought remained a constant worry, Prof. Ramalingaswami was fully in agreement but was finding it difficult to find funds for it.
Several months passed. One day while casually discussing our mounting frustrations with lack of any progress with my elder brother, who was then a Jt. Secretary in the Prime Minister's office, I initially got a cautious reply, "Prakash, officially I do not wish to get involved in any thing that may be considered as a favour to my brother. The only thing I can do is to arrange a meeting for you with the PS to the Hon'ble Minister of Health Shri Uma Shanker Dixit. Even before that, first take the permission from your Director to do so". It was easy to obtain Director's permission and shortly afterwards a meeting was held with Shri Rajgopal, who was more than sympathetic to our request for establishing the Neurosciences Centre. At the end of the meeting he told me that it was not possible to get such a major scheme funded in the middle of a plan period but "may be we could get advanced action initiated which can then be formalized in the next plan". He promised to discuss this with Dixitji at an appropriate time. The meeting ended with encouraging but cautious note, "I promise nothing but I am convinced it is a genuine need. You are asking nothing for yourself? you are willing to provide more and better service to those knocking at your door".
Not expecting any prompt action I was pleasantly surprised to receive a call from the Director later that evening, "Health Secretary Shri K.K. Dass wants us to include the matter related to the establishment of the Neurosciences Centre in the agenda for the next meeting of the Institute Body due shortly. He wants a copy of the proposal sent to him in advance". On 2nd August 1972, a copy of the formal proposal was duly sent to the Shri K.K. Dass by the Director. At the Institute Body meeting held on 12'" September 1972, the Institute decided, "The Institute considered that it was fortunate that expertise in several fields of Neurosciences exists at the institute both in basic and clinical areas. The Institute considered the scheme put up for its consideration as possible, desirable and in the larger interests of the country. Recognizing the strengths already built in the various departments in respect of the neurosciences, the Institute approved the proposal in principle to set up a Centre for Neurological Sciences at the AIIMS and decided that not only it be included in the proposals for the Fifth Five year Plan of the AIIMS but, the possibility of advance action in the Fourth Five Year Plan itself, should also be seriously explored. It was accordingly decided that the matter be considered by the Finance Committee in greater detail". We felt happy but not jubilant, fully conscious of the harder battles ahead
The Proposal was duly put up to the Finance Committee meetings held on 4th January 1973, 8th February 1973 and 5th April 1973 and as feared owing to "financial constraints" no funds could be made available. The real reason was no doubt that Shri K.K. Dass had retired by now and his successor Shri Ramachandran had his own antipathies against the Institute as future events confirmed.
However, without waiting for a formal decision of the Finance Committee, Prof. Ramalingaswami forwarded the proposal to Dr. Banwari Lall, Chief, Health Division, Planning Commission for his consideration. Dr. Lail was a close friend of Prof. Anand who arranged a meeting with him in the Planning Commission after Dr. Lall had opportunity to scrutinize the proposal. With high hopes Prof. Anand and I attended the meeting. To our surprise Dr. Lall, after a brief discussion, said, "Bal (B.K. Anand), I am sorry this proposal as it stands is unlikely to be approved owing to severe financial constraints. The only component that may be favorably looked at is the patient care part". He also made several suggestions for curtailing the budgetary demands even for the clinical component. It was with a sense of disappointment that we walked out of his office. I was, in addition assailed with the fear of losing Prof. Anand's interest and support for the project. Probably sensing my thoughts, on our way to the exit he suddenly stopped said, "Prakash, it is too bad to have things take a turn this way, but let us be practical. We should take whatever we can get and keep trying for the rest. You will have my full support". Few in his place could have been so generous and even more so the enthusiastic support we continued to get from him later on provided enough proof of the genuineness of these sentiments. For all this he no doubt, got the flak of his colleagues in the Physiology Department.
In pursuance of the decision of the Institute Body and the informal advice received from Dr. Lall we carried out another detailed exercise to draft a formal EFC (Expenditure Finance Committee) memo. In the meanwhile Prof. Gopinath had carried out a similar exercise for the Cardio-thoracic Centre. As a matter of fact, these exercises were mostly done with the constant consultations with each other. Combined these two proposals required considerable financial support. Dr. Ramalingaswami advised us that we should seek the views of the new Health Minister Shri Khadilkar. After a patient hearing of our individual proposals, he pointed out the difficult financial situation and advised that we should try and economize by establishing some common facilities and sharing whatever can be shared thus bringing down the total cost of two proposals. He promised to get the demands included in the Fifth Five Year Plan proposals of the Institute. Thus Prof. Gopinath and I carried out another exercise maintaining the basic character of two independent centers, yet having some common areas and support laboratories. On 2nd August 1973, a new draft proposal was forwarded to the Director with a note, "In view of the difficult economics situation, we (Profs. Anand, Gopinath and Tandon) have also reviewed the projects with an idea to prune these without undue detriment to the utility of the projects". And further, "Following this review, if we could get a total of Rs. 350 lakhs (Rs. 200 lakhs for Cardiothoracic and Rs. 150 lacs for Neurosciences Centre), we could still make a worthwhile contribution".
The Planning Commission, discussed the proposals of the Health Ministry (which included those of AIIMS) on 31st August 1973. The bias of the Health Secretary, Shri Ramachandran against the institute was too obvious. He had proposed a total of Rs. 150 lakhs for the whole Institute. As a matter of fact it was specially emphasized that the Ministry "did not favor that all the specialties should be concentrated in one place in the country". Following strong pleadings by the Director, one of the members of the Planning Commission, Member (M), pointed out that "the Ministry had proposed Rs. 1.50 crores for the AlIMS as against the Fourth Plan provision of Rs. 3.33 crores, and since this was a premier Institute in the country, the Ministry may explore the possibility of providing some additional funds for the Fifth Five Year Plan. With regards to the proposals for the two centers, the Planning Commission ultimately decided to allocate separate funds for "the development of super-specialties: a total of 236 lakhs, without specifically mentioning our proposals. This was a typical bureaucratic stroke by the Health Secretary to scuttle our proposal. Before implementing the program, the Ministry of Health decided to enquire from all medical institutions in the country to submit their proposals for "development of super-specialties", notwithstanding the fact that the Central Government is supposed to directly fund only the national institutes. As expected proposals were received from several places and interestingly even Orthopaedics was considered a super-specialty. The Health Ministry, obviously under the instructions from its Secretary put the whole matter in the cold storage with the usual excuse, "the matter is under consideration": even though the Fifth Plan had already begun from April 1974.
One day Dr. Karan Singh, who was now the Minister of Health, desired to see me for some unconnected reason. At the end of our meeting, I enquired about our proposals for the centers. Only then the cat came out of the bag. He frankly informed me that the Secretary was sitting on the file on the excuse of collecting information mentioned above. Dr. Karan Singh recognized the futility of the exercise. Since in the limited funds allocated for super specialities it would be impossible to meet the needs of even a few. He promptly took the initiative and in August 1974 appointed a committee under the Chairmanship of Dr. Srivastava, the Director General Health Services, to assess the existing potentials and future possibilities of strengthening superspecialities in the centrally funded institutions only. The Committee included experts in the concerned disciplines from all over the country. It collected the necessary information from various institutions and finally paid site-visits to each of these before recommending our two proposals alongwith some allocations to a couple of others. Thus from a total of Rs. 236 lacs allocation for super specialities the two Centres at the AIIMS, was provided Rs. 188.37 lacs.
On March 26, 1975, even before we received a formal approval of the Government to establish the Centre, a letter addressed to the Director, AlIMS received from Dr. Sharad Kumar, DDG(M), indicating that, "Under the Purely Central Scheme of "Development of Superspecialities', the Government of India has sanctioned a provision of Rs. 10 lakhs for the development of the Departments of (1) Neurosurgery and Neurology; and (2) Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery...............”
This communication, though not mentioning anything about the Centers, was the first indication that the Government had selected AIIMS; for development of these super-specialties. Two weeks later on 11th April 1975, the recommendations of the "Expert Committee on Establishment of Cardiothoracic and Neurosciences Centre at the Institute", were ultimately received, setting at rest all uncertainties about the two proposals. It would be worth reproducing the extracts of this communication with respect to Neurosciences Centre (see Dr. Sharad Kumar's letter dated 11th April 1975). Shortly afterwards on 22"d July 1975 a formal letter from the Ministry of Health and F.W. No. V. 16020/54/ME (PG), communicated to the Institute an allocation of Rs. 188.37 lacs for the super-specialties (including both centers) for the 5th Five Year Plan. It needs to be recorded that the fullest understanding between Prof. Gopinath and myself and the cooperation of the rest of the faculty of the concerned departments made it possible for us to keep on revising and redrafting the proposals as per the bureaucratic needs of the Government, without sacrificing the basic objectives. No hidden rivalries, personal egos or unjustified interests of individuals ever cast any shadow as we pursued the planning and implementation of the projects through various administrative channels. For me it was a rare experience of trust and camaraderie not so common in our institutions.
As expected it was not smooth sailing from now onwards. We had to wait till March 1976 for the first release of funds, a paltry sum of Rs. 3 lacs. At one stage the Financial Advisor to Ministry of Health, whose main grudge against the Institute happened to be "misuse of funds for erecting black marble columns in the foyer" without any justification reduced the total allocation for the Fifth Plan by nearly Rs. 40 lacs, probably worrying that we would waste it on black marble columns. When no explanation and assurances from Dr. Gopinath and myself failed to convince him, we had to approach the office of the Finance Minister (Shri C. Subrramanayam) and the Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Shri P.N. Haksar, two of the most progressive policy makers of the country has known. Let me hasten to add that Prof. Gopinath and I approached them with the approval of our Director.
In July 1976, the Estate Committee formally appointed M/s. Pradhan Ghosh and Associates as the architects. However, between 1976 and 1978 repeated revisions of the building plan were required due to pruning of the budget allocations and rising cost of the building. At last on 14th April 1978, the President of India Shri Neelam Sanjiva Reddy laid the foundation stone of the twin centers. In his welcome address Dr. Ramalingaswami stated, "Our vision of the Centers is that they will be Centers both of public service and of higher learning at the same time". Their philosophy is that in which the patients and their needs come first, everything else is subordinate and subservient to this: He pointed out that, "The greatest and deepest need of a Centre is to be needed by Society". Quoting the famous economist Francis Delaisi, he said that. "the purpose of an Institution is to supply stability needed for long term operations. At the same time, Institutions must be able to adjust to change. It is our hope that stability, adjustability and continuity will mix in the centers in appropriate balance". Rashtrapatiji in his address expressed his happiness on the establishment of these Centers. While emphasizing that, "Our most urgent need is Primary Health Care" which should be pursued with all energy and resources at our command." He pointed out that, "we cannot altogether neglect the setting up and improvement of more advanced levels of health care at District, State and national levels. We need to have a few Centers of excellence in a large country like ours where the most advanced levels of care can be provided; specialists and researchers can be trained and the most complex problems may be referred for appropriate management" For him, "It is not a question of this or that" but a "proper balance in the developments of these various levels of health care". He was equally concerned about the scientific community which must be able to discover, adopt and innovate suitable methods not only in dealing with our current problems but also in coping with changing trends and changing needs of the future". I have quoted these excerpts from the speeches because I believe that as long as we pursue these ideals the Centre would continue to justify the generous resources provided by the government and enjoy the trust of the people.
Five years later, in March 1983, out patient clinics for Neurology, Neurosurgery (as also Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery) moved to the new building, while the work continued to complete the rest. Progressively as the work progressed we continued to occupy the areas already completed. By July 1984, the built up area included basement, OPD, receiving station, noninvasive laboratories, radiology wing, 8 operation theatres (Neuro 3, Cardiac 4, Common 1) along with ICUs and postoperative wards. It was only in 1988-89 that the Centres became fully functional in their new abode. At this time Neurosciences centre had a total of 180 beds, 3 fully equipped operation theatres, 30 bedded ICUs, Intermediate care wards, fully fledged departments of Neuroradiology, Neuroanaesthesia, within this complex. The offices of the faculty and supportive staff, Neurochemistry laboratories continued to remain in the old building and by mutual agreement the Neuropathology still continues to be in parent Department of Pathology. This may be compared to the facilities available to us before we moved to the Centre. The combined strength of beds for Neurology and Neurosurgery including a half baked ICU was only 72, scattered in different parts of the old hospital.
There was only one dedicated operation theatre for neurosurgery and we shared another one with Cardiothoracic Department three days a week. There were four members on the faculty of Neurosurgery. I have been informed that there will be separate write-up's about the development of Neurology, Neuroradiology, Neuroanaesthesia, Neuropathology, Neurochemistry etc. hence I shall restrict myself in the remaining part of this review on Neurosurgery only. Nonetheless it should be mentioned that once the scheme for creating the Centre was approved, in the interval before its complete occupation we were permitted to augment the overall facilities and staff strength in a progressive manner with a view to improve the quality and maximise output of all our activities-patient care service and education in particular. Funds for research had, as even now, to be obtained on competitive basis from the grant giving agencies. During this interval we were able to obtain a munificent grant from the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) which modernized our diagnostic and clinical facilities including those for operation theatres and ICU. The first CT Scan in the country was installed under this grant. It was not just a coincidence that this was inaugurated by the President of India on the same day as the foundation of the Centre(s) was laid.
Coming back to the growth of neurosurgical services, in the first full year of our work i.e. 1966 we admitted 140 patients, attended to 540 in the OPD and performed 111 major and 89 minor surgical procedures. It may be mentioned that at that time many of our patients were admitted, operated upon and discharged from the emergency ward. Five years later in 1971 these numbers were 422 admitted, 1044 attended in OPD and 535 (303 major and 232 minor operations performed. In 1976, the year when the first token grant was received for the Centre we admitted 1094 patients, attended to 3784 (1960 new and 1824 old) patients in the OPD, and performed 520 major and 785 minor surgical operations. It may be recalled that at that time neuroradiological investigations pneumoencephalography ventriculography, angiography and myelography were performed by. the clinical team and hence were included as minor operations. In 1986, prior to shifting to the Centre 1898 patients were admitted, 11.225 (3406 new and 7918 old) patients seen in the OPD and 735 and 257 major or minor operations were performed. Starting with only two faculty members in 1965 - Dr. Banerji and myself, it was only in 1971 that we added one more lecturer. Dr B. Prakash. The next person to join was Dr R. Bhatia as Lecturer in 1974 The first faculty position in the Department of Neurosurgery after the Centre came into existence, was 1979 with Dr. Banerji taking over as a Professor. A little known episode in this connection needs mention to illustrate the prevailing team spirit at that time. When we got the first position of a Professor sanctioned for the Centre, I had in my mind wanted it for Dr. Banerji. The day the matter was to be finalized in the Academic Committee I was indisposed and requested Dr. Banerji to attend the meeting and briefed him about my plan. His immediate response was that it should be alloted to Neuropathology, "Dr. Subimal Roy should be given a chance before me". Dr. V.S. Mehta then joined as a Lecturer in 1981 followed by Dr. A.K. Mahapatra in 1983. In the meanwhile Dr. B. Prakash left for G.B. Pant Hospital in 1980. Thus even after fully commissioning the Centre in 1988, the Department had a total strength of 5 faculty members; who continued to share the ever increasing service load as indicated by the figures provided above.
Besides the full fledged in-service M.Ch. course (3 years for post MS (surgery) and a direct 5+1 year after MBBS), the department has been participating in undergraduate education as well as collaborating with basic science department for Ph.D. program. From 1968 when our first trainee obtained his M.Ch. degree, till 1988, twenty eight persons obtained their postgraduate degrees. Since 1988 up to date an additional 31 have qualified. Most of these are serving the country. Several of them became chiefs of their departments at Delhi, Varanasi, Srinagar, Bangalore, Cuttack and Hyderabad, thus fulfilling an important objective for which the Centre was created. From its inception the Department has been actively engaged in CME programs both intramural and extramural. Short-term training programs are organized regularly on recent advances like CT scanning, Microsurgery, Neural Transplantation, Vascular Surgery, Skull base surgery etc. An yearly course on Neurobiology for Clinicians was organized (4 at the AIIMS and 1 at NIMHANS, Bangalore). National level Hands-on Workshops were organized from time to time with the help of international faculty as for example on microneurosurgery, skull-base surgery, neural transplantation etc. A microneurosurgical laboratory, the first of its kind in the country, was established for training in microsurgical techniques, not only for neurosurgeons but for others specialities also from all over the country. The first National Neural Transplantation Facility was established in collaboration with the Department of Anatomy. The first Text Book of Neurosurgery in the country was the result of a joint effort between Madras Neurological Institute and AlIMS in 1980. This has been completely revised and updated in 1996. Four monographs "Lectures in neurobiology" were brought out in collaboration with the Department of Anatomy, AIIMS. The faculty has made contributions to several national and international text books including Tropical Neurology, Handbook of Neurology and Techniques in Neurosurgery.
AlIMS provided a unique milieu for advancing frontiers of knowledge. The Neurosurgery Department fully participated in this effort The major areas of research contributions of the Department involved collaboration of other departments in the Institute and outside included;
The above account will testify that much has been accomplished, no doubt a lot more needs to be. For me personally it has been a rewarding experience and source of great satisfaction, not just the physical growth of the Centre but the years of affection and friendship of the team who really made this happen. The only regret that continues to haunt me is our failure to see a parallel growth of the basic neurosciences as an integral part of the Neurosciences Centre. Individually these disciplines in the Institute have made very outstanding contributions. It has been stated that an institution is the lengthened shadow of an individual. If there is one example to disprove this adage, the Neurosciences Centre is one. It was born in the dreams of several, nurtured with the selfless, dedicated services of many who submerged their egoes for a cause greater than themselves, working as a team the parallel of which could hardly be found any where. In the true spirit of Gita, their sole concern was duty and not the reward. No sacrifice was great enough for establishing a centre of excellence. Posterity will judge whether they succeeded on not but no one would deny that they attempted. Unlike many other such centres in our country, even after the departure of those who initiated it, the Centre continues its journey to greater heights as will be obvious from the story told by those who succeeded. I hope and pray that the Centre will continue to live up to the foundation stone. "In the ultimate analysis, it is not the budget, nor the number of staff positions that makes a truly great centre of public service and higher learning. It is the presence of thoughtful, imaginative, humanistic, loyal and devoted faculty and students that is vital". The Centre continues to be endowed with them and I can only wish them greater heights in years ahead.
Recommendations of The Committee on Establishment of Neurology and Neurosurgery Centre at the AIIMS and Safdarjang Complex
This Centre has been chosen for the following reasons :
The needs of this proposed Neuro-centre are indicated in Appendix I and may be seen to be economical and the minimum required.
This recommendation to make the neurology complex of the AlIMS and Safdarjang Hospital into a Neuro Centre is based on the following requirements.
The Committee has further observed that
Department of Neurosurgery started a humble beginning in March 1965, with only two faculty members and a few beds. However, with dedicated efforts and sincerity of Prof. P.N. Tandon and Prof. A.K. Banerji, M.Ch training program could be initiated in 1967, when Dr. Brahm Prakash joined as M.Ch. student. In the last 45 years, Department has made a long journey in training over 140 neurosurgeons. The training provided here is considered the best in the country, as evaluated by independent assessment system.
The department is a Mecca for Neurosurgical patient care in India. It is equipped with ultra-modern technology and equipments from time to time i.e. operating microscope, Laser, CUSA, Ultrasound, Intra-operative MRI, Gamma Knife and Image Guidance System, which are necessary to provide state of the art care at par with the best neurosurgical centers any where in the world. With a moderate beginning in 1965, when only 50 patients were operated upon, today we operate around 3000 cases annually at AIIMS. With the inception of Trauma Centre in 2007, where we deal with all types of cranio-spinal trauma, our department, in addition, operates around 1500 trauma cases annually. There are in addition over 250 patients treated with Gamma Knife Radiosurgery annually (Total number till date around3000).
The Department has always been in the forefront in the areas of research and academic activities. There has been research on evidence based clinical practice and laboratory based work. These include clinico-pathological research on head injury, neuro-tuberculosis, glioma, pituitary tumors, peripheral nerve and brachial plexus injury & intracranial aneurysms. Laboratory based studies include (a) Neural transplant was developed as a national facility by DST (1984-1990), (b) Evoked potentials as diagnostic and prognostic tool, (c) Study of genetic and molecular aspect of glioma, (d) Study of cerebral blood flow using SPECT scan in brain tumor, minor head injury and craniostenosis (e) Near infrared spectroscopy and (f) MR spectroscopy etc. The Department has participated in a large number of multi-centric studies at National and International levels.

As part of the Department Hospital Administration, AIIMS Delhi, various training and courses are imparted. For further details,
The Department of Pathology at A.I.I.M.S, founded in 1957, has been a pioneer in the field of pathology since its inception. The Department is a leading innovator in research, service and education. It has established a lead in medical research involving nutrition, cell differentiation, epidemiology, virology, various malignancies and neuro-sciences. Department of pathology is providing specialised pathology and Oncopathology services to whole of AIIMS and Dr.B .R.A IRCH (Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Institute Rotary Cancer Hospital) for many years.
The department of Oncopathology at NCI Jhajjar forms the backbone of all Oncology services provided at our center. Since its inception, the department has grown from strength to strength and aims to set up the Units of Histopathology, Cytology, Immunohistochemistry, Cytogenetics and Molecular pathology. Working in close coordination with teams from AIIMS Delhi, we strive to establish a world class diagnostic center dedicated to care and management of cancer patients.
Department of pathology is also providing full Oncopathology services to NCI Jhajjar with full involvement of all specialities as detailed below
Nuclear Medicine is a specialized branch of medicine that encompasses arrays of radiopharmaceuticals for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes throughout the patient care continuum. The department at NCI has state-of- art facilities such as a digital ready 128 slice PET/CT and 16 Slice SPECT/CT, and currently offers the most commonly performed oncological studies.
Preventive Oncology NCI:
Preventive oncology includes measures that are taken to prevent the development or delay progression of cancer. Cancer prevention is taken on three major levels:
(A). Primary Cancer Prevention: It focuses on health promotion, identifying causative factors and reducing the risk of cancer. For example, alcohol and tobacco cessation, weight reduction, vaccination, healthy lifestyle, etc.
(B) Secondary Cancer Prevention: It focuses on early cancer detection through screening before the onset of symptoms when the cancers are likely to be treated successfully. For example, mammography, HPV-DNA test, oral visual inspection, PSA test, etc.
(C) Tertiary Cancer Prevention: It focuses on delaying the progression and preventing the complications like secondary malignancies after cancer diagnosis.
Why it's important:
Cancer prevention is done at both individual and community level for reducing the risk and incidence of cancer. By preventing cancer, the number of new cases of cancer will be lowered and thus reducing overall cancer burden. Early diagnosis will lead to optimal cancer management and improved survival.
Preventive Oncology at NCI-Jhajjar envisages to
develop evidence-based approaches and technical resources for cancer prevention and control in India through:
Medical Physics Unit at IRCH and NCI is instrumental in providing licensing and compliance with the regulations of Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) to all x-ray imaging machines, radiation safety and quality in imaging related services to all those departments which uses radiation in imaging, patient services and research activities. We look after radiation related research in medical radiological imaging in mammography, CT, ultrasound, radiography, fluoroscopy and angiography, radiation dosimetry in patient in imaging, reduction of dose without compromising diagnostic information, radiation protection and measurement of radiation dose to staff and attendants, irradiation of blood bag before blood transfusion to patients, radiation protection survey for radiological imaging installation all over AIIMS and NCI.

Department of Radiation Oncology at NCI Jhajjar started functioning on May 29th, 2019 with brachytherapy. Subsequently, Linear Accelerator facilities were Inaugurated on 14th November 2019 in the presence of Director AIIMS Delhi Dr. Randeep Guleria, Head-NCI Dr. GK Rath, and Head of Department Dr. DN Sharma. Since thenaround 33,399 radiation fractions have been delivered via Linear Accelerator and 1108 patientstreated with brachytherapy. Apart from Radiation Treatment delivery, we are also running OPD and IPD services.OPD services are running since November 2019 site and organ-specific in collaboration with other departments. We have fully functional IPD services with 24 Bedded ward. Our effort toward patient care is reflected in the fact that during the COVID-era when all the regular services were affected Department of Radiation Oncology provided its services to the patients without hampering patient care.
CThe Department of Head and Neck Oncology at the National Cancer Institute, Jhajjar, strives to offer affordable and quality service to patients with head and neck cancer. The department currently provides daily outpatient services (Monday to Friday), including various office-based procedures. We ensure optimal and quality clinical in-patient services in the current 20-bedded ward on the 5th floor. Additionally, we run a multidisciplinary disease management group twice a week (Tuesday and Friday) and a swallowing clinic with a facility for Functional endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) for appropriate rehabilitation of the patients after surgery in the OPD setting. Emergency services (management of airway and bleeding in relation to head and neck cancers) are offered round the clock. We are equipped with nasal endoscopy and fiberoptic laryngoscopy for clinical oncologic examination.
The department runs eight operation theaters weekly (Monday to Friday). It offers surgical treatment of cancer related to the domain of Otorhinolaryngology (maxillectomy, laryngectomy, neck dissection, glossectomy, thyroidectomies, mandibulectomy, etc.) for early and advanced oral, laryngeal, and other head and neck cancers.
In addition to clinical care, the department has also been playing a prominent role in academic and research activities. Residents training (MS {ENT} and MCh {Head and Neck Cancer Surgery}) is being undertaken with an emphasis on clinical care, research, and teaching aspects. The teaching courses in the subspecialties of Head and neck oncology are being conducted regularly.
Cancer is emerging as a major public health problem globally. As per WHO GLOBOCAN 2020, 1.32 million new cases of cancer are detected each year in India and 0.85 million succumb to this deadly disease. Cancer treatment requires a multimodal management approach. Surgery is one of the main modalities for treating cancer and 90 % of cancer patients need some surgical intervention. The surgical specialty dealing with cancer management is known as Surgical Oncology.
Background: Dedicated surgical oncology services at Dr. BRA-IRCH were started in 1988. Prof NK Shukla was the first faculty to initiate cancer surgical services and Dr. SVS Deo joined as second faculty in 1995. The unit was recognized as an independent Department of Surgical Oncology in the year 2001 and the services were further expanded to 46 Surgical beds, 6 bedded ICU and 3 major Operation theaters in 2005. MCh Surgical Oncology program was started in 2012. The department took a leadership role in the planning and establishment of state of art surgical oncology services at National Cancer Institute (NCI) Jhajjar and started cancer surgical services at NCI-AIIMS in 2019. Currently the department has 10 faculty members,18 MCh trainees and 12 Senior residents.
The three major activities of the department include Patient Care, Teaching & Training and Research.
The department leads in introducing advanced and cutting-edge surgical programs including Minimally Invasive Surgery (Lap & VATS), Peritoneal Surface Malignancies (Cytoreductive Surgery, HIPEC & PIPAC), Oncoplastic & Microvascular surgery, Risk Reducing Surgery, Navigational Surgery, Organ Conservation and Intra-operative Radiation Therapy and Palliative Surgical Oncology at AIIMS.
Teaching and Training: The department runs MCh Surgical Oncology program, which is one of the leading and popular MCh programs in India. In addition, the department offers long term and short-term training to general surgeons. The department has trained more than 150 cancer surgeons during last 25 years, who are in leadership positions in different parts of the country.
Research: The faculty members of the departmentare actively engaged in a number of collaborative basic and clinical research projects including multicentric international trials. The department has developed a computerized comprehensive oncology clinical data base and currently has comprehensive clinical data related to more than 10,000 cancer patients operated in the department.

Follow-Up
Occupational exposure
Occupational exposure refers to exposure to potential blood-borne infections (HIV, HBV and HCV) that occurs during performance of job duties.
“Exposure” which may place an HCP at risk of blood-borne infection is defined as :
What is infectious and what is not?
Exposure to body fluids considered ‘at risk’ | Exposure to body fluids considered ‘not at risk’ | |
---|---|---|
Blood | Tears | Unless these secretions contain visible blood |
Semen | Sweat | |
Vaginal secretions | Urine and Faeces | |
Cerebrospinal fluid | Saliva | |
Synovial, pleural, peritoneal, pericardial fluid | - | |
Amniotic fluid | ||
Other body fluids contaminated with visible blood |
It is necessary to determine the status of the exposure and the HIV status of the exposure source before starting post exposure prophylaxis (PEP).
Step-1 : Immediate measures
For skin - if the skin is broken after a needle-stick or sharp instrument :
After a splash of blood or body fluids on unbroken skin :
For the eye
For mouth
Don’ts
Step-II : Prompt reporting :
Step-III : Post exposure treatment :
The decision to start PEP is made on the basis of degree of exposure to HIV and the HIV statusof the source from where the exposure/infection has occurred. More so, it should begin as soon as possible preferably within two hours, and is notrecommended after 72 hours.
PEP is not needed for all types of exposures : The HIV seroconversion rate of 0.3% after an AEB (accidental exposure to blood) (for percutaneous exposure) is an average rate. The risk of infection transmission is proportional to the amount of HIV transmitted, which depends on the nature of exposure and the status of the source patient. A baseline rapid HIV testing of exposed and source person must be done for PEP. However, initiation of PEP should not be delayed while waiting for the results of HIV testing of the source of exposure. Informed consent should be obtained before testing of the source as per national HIV testing guidelines.
First PEP dose within 72 hours
A designated person/trained doctor must assess the risk of HIV and HBV transmission following an AEB. This evaluation must be quick so as to start treatment without any delay, ideally within two hours but certainly within 72 hours; PEP is not effective when given more than 72 hours after exposure. The first dose of PEP should be administered within the first 72 hours of exposure. If the risk is insignificant, PEP could be discontinued, if already commenced.
Step-IV : Counselling for PEP :
Exposed persons (clients) should receive appropriate information about what PEP is about and the risk and benefits of PEP in order to provide informed consent for taking PEP. It should be clear that PEP is not mandatory.
Step-V : Psychological support :
Many people feel anxious after exposure. Every exposed person needs to be informed about the risks, and the measures that can be taken. This will help to relieve part of the anxiety. Some clients may require further specialised psychological support.
Step-VI : Documentation of exposure :
Documentation of exposureis essential. Special leave from workshould be considered initially for a period of two weeks. Subsequently, it can be extended based on the assessment of the exposed person’s mental state, side effects and requirements.
IMPORTANT : Seek expert opinion in case of
Step-VII : Follow-up of an exposed person :
Whether or not post-exposure prophylaxis is started, a follow up is needed to monitor for possible infections and to provide psychological support.
Clinical follow-up
In the weeks following an AEB, the exposed person must be monitored for the eventual appearance of signs indicating an HIV seroconversion: acute fever, generalized lymphadenopathy, cutaneous eruption, pharyngitis, non-specific flu symptoms and ulcers of the mouth or genital area. These symptoms appear in 50%-70% of individuals with an HIV primary (acute) infection and almost always within 3 to 6 weeks after exposure. When a primary (acute) infection is suspected, referral to an ART centre or for expert opinion should be arranged rapidly.
An exposed person should be advised to use precautions (e.g., avoid blood or tissue donations, breastfeeding, unprotected sexual relations or pregnancy) to prevent secondary transmission, especially during the first 6–12 weeks following exposure. Condom use is essential.Drug adherence and side effect counselling should be provided and reinforced at every follow-up visit. Psychological support and mental health counselling is often required.
Laboratory follow-up
Exposed persons should have post-PEP HIV tests. HIV-test at 3 months and again at 6 months is recommended. If the test at 6 months is negative, no further testing is recommended.

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences has several hostels for its undergraduate and postgraduate students, PhD scholars and resident doctors. Conveniently located, hostellers do not have to travel long distances after a day of hard work and studies. These hostels are an essential component of the life at this institution wherein students, staff and faculty reside in the same campus. The life in hostels enables students to spend ample time in the hospital, departments utilizing library and other facilities to ensure they develop academically and acquire the necessary skills that can be obtained only through experience. In addition the hostel life allows students to interact with their colleagues and peers, make friends, and develop into good human beings capable of independent judgment and coping with the day to day pressures of life. Some students may leave their homes for the first time and they can be reassured these hostels would eventually turn out to be a home away from home!

Clinical Neuropsychology at the Neurosciences Centre, AIIMS in New Delhi, India, provides para-clinical services following the terminology outlined by the Sneh Bhargava Commission (2012) This specialized service encompasses a comprehensive range of neuropsychological services, including psycho-diagnostics (which involves clinical history taking, psychometric assessment, and clinical observation), remediation (involving counseling and rehabilitation), and neuropsychological disability evaluations. These services address both cognitive and non-cognitive aspects for individuals with neurological and neurosurgical conditions. Established in 1969 with the appointment of Dr. Surya Gupta, this discipline has played a significant role in advancing clinical neuropsychology in the country, aiming to deliver services in line with international standards for the benefit of patients at the Neurosciences Centre at AllMS.
Furthermore, the discipline has been enriched through clinical neuropsychological educational programs in neuropsychology for M.B.B.S., Nursing, DM (Neurology), MCh (Neurosurgery), and MD (Psychiatry) students. Presently, it also supervises research projects for postgraduate students from these departments, focusing on neuropsychological psychometric assessments. The creation of distinctive neuropsychological test batteries, such as the 'AIIMS Neuropsychological Battery,' represents a significant achievement in assessing organicity, lateralization, and lobar functions across various age groups, including Adults, Children, and the Elderly. These efforts have been supported by three research projects funded by the ICMR.
Since 2005, our research and clinical services have expanded to include the development of neuropsychological screening tools for clinicians to use in their practices, history taking forms, tests, and a variety of neuropsychological rehabilitation programs for neurological and neurosurgical conditions. Committed to enhancing patient care, we provide advanced Neuropsychological services tailored to individuals with neurological disorders. By closely collaborating with clinicians at AIIMS, New Delhi, who act as primary healthcare providers in a hospital setting, we adhere to the World Health Organization's Continuum of Care Model to address the specific needs that prompt referrals.

In India, the concept of “Neuroanaesthesia as a subspeciality” of Anaesthesia was recognized, way back in 1968, when Dr. Surinder Singh Saini volunteered to anaesthetize the neurosurgical patients at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, on a regular basis. Formal training in Neuroanaesthesia, for post-graduate degree holders (MD) of Anaesthesia, for trainees from all over India, was started in 1982. In 1987, an independent Department of Neuroanaesthesia was established under the leadership of Prof. S S Saini as the Head along with two more faculties, Dr. Hari Hara Dash as Assistant Professor and Dr. Parmod Kumar Bithal as Lecturer. Five Senior Resident (SR) doctors joined them for assisting the clinical activities of the department.
In August 1989, the Department was shifted to the newly built the Cardiothoracic and Neurosciences Centre (CNC) of AIIMS (present location) along with other sister departments. Facilities during that time included three well-equipped operation theatres (OTs), one emergency (septic) OT, which was shared with the cardiothoracic centre, five-bedded intensive care unit (ICU), and twenty beds for postoperative patients.
In 1995, a process to start three years superspeciality degree course (DM) in Neuroanaesthesiology was initiated under stewardship of Prof. H. H. Dash. It was materialized in 2001, when DM (SR) posts (Six direct and three sponsored) were sanctioned by the Institute body. In 2002, two direct candidates were enrolled, for the first time in India, through a common entrance test. After the JPNA Trauma Centre was established by AIIMS, in 2006, 10 more post of non-DM SR was added to the existing 10 posts. In the subsequent year (2007), two more posts of SR (DM) were again sanctioned making the final tally of open category DM (SR) seats as eight. At present, the department is located in the Neurosciences Centre, at 6/7th floor, with the office operated from room no. 709A. One personal assistant and two office assistants look after the smooth management official activities.
Currently, the Department of Neuroanaesthesiology has expanded its horizon; caters clinical service to six well-equipped neurosurgical OTs, a brain suite (MRI- OT), two neuro-cath Labs, two MRI facilities, One GammaKnife facility, one pain clinic, a pre-anaesthetic check-up (PAC) clinic, two neurosurgical ICUs (total 26 beds), one neurology ICU of five beds, more than two OTs for trauma patients, a twenty-bedded ICU for neurotrauma patients apart from providing resuscitation measures for neurological and neurosurgical ward patients. To meet with the demand of workload, the faculty strength now has been increased to sixteen which includes two professors, four additional professors, and ten assistant professors.
This department has been actively involved with training of Indian defense service personnel and overseas trainees apart from the DM and Non-DM trainees (SRs) of Neuroanaesthesia. So far, 25 candidates have been awarded the DM degree in Neuroanaesthesiology. The department plans to start Neurocritical Care programme in coming years, and to establish this super-speciality in India, the need for which is being realized, nation-wide. The faculty and staff of this department strive hard to ensure that the ‘Department of Neuroanaesthesiology’ continues to be the torch-bearer of perioperative neurosciences, and serve as a role model in this field.
In India, the concept of “Neuroanaesthesia as a subspeciality” of Anaesthesia was recognized, way back in 1968, when Dr. Surinder Singh Saini volunteered to anaesthetize the neurosurgical patients at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, on a regular basis. Formal training in Neuroanaesthesia, for post-graduate degree holders (MD) of Anaesthesia, for trainees from all over India, was started in 1982. In 1987, an independent Department of Neuroanaesthesia was established under the leadership of Prof. S S Saini as the Head along with two more faculties, Dr. Hari Hara Dash as Assistant Professor and Dr. Parmod Kumar Bithal as Lecturer. Five Senior Resident (SR) doctors joined them for assisting the clinical activities of the department.
In August 1989, the Department was shifted to the newly built the Cardiothoracic and Neurosciences Centre (CNC) of AIIMS (present location) along with other sister departments. Facilities during that time included three well-equipped operation theatres (OTs), one emergency (septic) OT, which was shared with the cardiothoracic centre, five-bedded intensive care unit (ICU), and twenty beds for postoperative patients.
In 1995, a process to start three years superspeciality degree course (DM) in Neuroanaesthesiology was initiated under stewardship of Prof. H. H. Dash. It was materialized in 2001, when DM (SR) posts (Six direct and three sponsored) were sanctioned by the Institute body. In 2002, two direct candidates were enrolled, for the first time in India, through a common entrance test. After the JPNA Trauma Centre was established by AIIMS, in 2006, 10 more post of non-DM SR was added to the existing 10 posts. In the subsequent year (2007), two more posts of SR (DM) were again sanctioned making the final tally of open category DM (SR) seats as eight. At present, the department is located in the Neurosciences Centre, at 6/7th floor, with the office operated from room no. 709A.

“It was May 1965 that I came to Delhi from Vellore where I was a lecturer, to appear for a Union Public Service Commission interview for the job of Reader at G. B. Pant hospital, Delhi and All India Institute of Mental Health, Bangalore (later to become NIMHANS). I was the only candidate and was asked at the end as to which place would I prefer. I chose Bangalore. Just before leaving for the interview, I had gone to see Dr. Baldev Singh and Dr P. N. Tandon (PNT) at AIIMS to pay a courtesy call. They were sharing an office and I suspect eagerly waiting like spiders, to catch a victim in neurosurgery, who could stick on at AIIMS, which at that time had actually nothing no space, equipment or staff. After a little talking about general things, suddenly, Dr. Baldev Singh asked me to think whether I at all wanted to go for the interview, as AIIMS could possibly offer me a job, I of course declined the proposal as a bird in hand was better than two in the bush. Then Dr. Tandon asked me to come home for tea that evening. I left for the Union Public Service Commission office. Today when I see large number of candidates for a job interview my own experience seems miraculous.
Coming back after the interview I recounted what happened to Gopal and his wife Radha (Dr. G.K. Vishwakarma was then Asst. Professor Orthopaedics and later became D.G.H.S. of Government of India) Insidious pressure started from them to come to AIIMS and forget about Bangalore. Incidentally Bangalore had a working, full fledged department with Prof. RM. Verma and he tried hard to get me there even after I joined AIIMS.
That evening I spent at Tandons. Dr. P. N. Tandon had been my Anatomy demonstrator in 1952 while Mrs. Leela Tandon was my lecturer in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Medical College, Lucknow. I had met Dr. P.N. Tandon in 1963 at the annual Neurological Society of India meeting in Calcutta. For both of us it was the very first meeting that we had attended of NSI. Dr. P. N. Tandon had established the department of neurosurgery at AlIMS 2 months before in March 65. He had been promised equipment but nothing had arrived in the two months. He was eager that I should join but was frank to say he did not know how things would eventually develop. After returning to Gopal's house, Radha and Gopal took me to see 'My Fair Lady' at Sheila Theatre which then was the best in Delhi, if not India. After returning well past midnight we slept on the roof and went on talking about what I should do. I think it was near the break of dawn that I finally succumbed to pressures from Gopal and Radha and said OK I'll come to Delhi if the job was offered. Next morning before I left Delhi Dr. Baldev Singh took me to meet Prof. K. L. Wig then Director AIIMS. Our liking for each other was instantaneous and the bond carried throughout.
I joined as adhoc Assistant Professor in June'65. There was one office of Dr. Baldev Singh in which in addition to Dr. P. N. Tandon another chair and a small table was put for me. The process of starting a department began really from scratch. Space was allotted on the first floor by the side of anatomy lecture theatre. I and Dr. V. Virmani (my opposite number in Neurology) sat down to draw maps and carve out rooms in the large halls. At that moment, our vibes were bristly to say the least. Dr. Virmani was considerably senior in age plus she had known Dr. Baldev Singh since Amritsar days and she also held the trump card of being Punjabi speaking which was then the lingua franca of AIIMS. Over the years our relationship mellowed and we did develop mutual admiration and respect for each other. I hit upon the strategy in our dealings at that time of building the departments, of saying exactly opposite of what I wanted. Dr. Virmani would of course, reverse my suggestions much to my advantage. Today when I look back it all appears so childish. But then it was great fun. Slowly collecting items like pins, chairs, tables, almirahs and make real offices was a new challenge for which I was not trained. Anyway we built the office cubicles, laboratories and got the OPD on the 4th floor in ship shape. It was so gratifying after two years of joining that we had a place of our own.
We started with surgical instruments which actually were of World War II vintage which included an operation table. Burr holes had to be made by a brace in 4 stages and both Dr. Tandon and I developed the art to perfection. To begin with we had no beds. Both for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Prof. K.L. Wig and the Pediatricians generously allowed us use of their beds in what is now the nurses hostel. There was so little clinical work that it was terribly frustrating in the beginning. I started taking clinics for the MD students of medicine, pediatrics and radiology. I slowly became quite popular to the extent that one day Dr. Wig called me to see one of his patients in his office. I must have impressed him no end as after that on several occasions he would ask for my opinion on patients. This was a small matter for him but a great boost for my confidence for which my gratitude goes to him.
By 1968 we were having a ward in the OPD block (ward IX) and we were well settled. The operation theaters were in the College of Nursing Block. Radiology to begin with was in the nurses hostel, and only in 1968 shifted to its present location. That was the time when we had Dr. S. K. Ghosh in radiology from 1965 to 1968 and he was a great help. Very often we started the day at 7.30 A.M. with ward rounds, dressings and stitch removals, followed by neuroradiology (ventriculograms angiograms etc) and then this was followed by surgery which would invariably end by 7 or 8 P.M., particularly if it was a posterior fossa tumour. At night one of us i.e. PNT or myself would sleep in the doctors room adjacent to the main O.T. block. From 1966 onwards Dr. B.B. Sawhney and Dr. M. Gourie Devi, now Director and Vice Chancellor NIMHANS who were residents in neurology would help us out by doing night duties and also assist in surgery as we did not have regular residents of our own. The role played by Col. G.C. Tandon, the Professor of Anaesthesia, was unforgettable. Dr. Hattangdi's lectures in anaesthesia helped us enormously and he also shared our burden in looking after patients, sometimes relieving us of our daily chores. The two films I saw with Anjali, my wife, during the time was courtesy of Hattangadi. Before I proceed I must tell of my first day in the operation theatre block (MOT) in the consultants changing room, where I went on my own apprehensively, to discover its ambience. The only person there in OT dress was reading an Agatha Christie paperback with great seriousness. On entering he asked me as to who I was and then got up with great cordiality and shook me by the hands. That was Dr. Satish Nayyar, Assistant Professor in Surgery well known as he was a Hallet medalist in the primary FRCS examination. Dr. Satish Nayyar gave me a cup of tea and then said that I must cultivate some hobby (his was reading mystery novels) as Assistant Professors had nothing to do as the Professor usurped all the work which was worthwhile, while all the minor work was done by the Registrars (later called residents). I went into depression from which it took me a long time to come out. Within a week I took courage in my hands and went to talk it over with PNT. We decided that alternate cases would be operated by us while the other would assist. Matters went on well but I was perturbed over the fact that if he assisted, he would go out and talk to the patients attendants before I could come out. Again I went to him in 1968 and PNT graciously agreed he wouldn't do so. This was a remarkable thing at AIIMS. My struggle for identity of Assistant Professors went on to the faculty over such oligarchy and it was ultimately in 1970 that I was able to change the nomenclature of hospital units which hitherto were identified with the head, to that of the departments. Thus Prof. P.N.T's unit changed to Neurosurgery unit-a practice which continues today. I have always felt that to obtain the best from colleagues a measure of democracy and participation should be the prime substance PNT's contribution towards this was immense which allowed me to put my heart and soul in developing the department and later the Neurosciences Centre. I guess the role of wives is also very great. Our families (Tandon and Banerji) were close to each other and even today no major decision in the Banerji family takes place without Tandons consultation. I guess this meeting was lucky for both of us.
In 1969 Dr. S.K. Ghosh left for Goa on promotion as Professor and Neuroradiology was taken over by Dr. R.K. Goulatia for whom a separate post was created in neuroradiology. In mid 70's Dr. S.S. Saini was persuaded to join Neuroanaesthesia and this started the nucleus of a comprehensive clinical setup. Fortunately we were able to persuade (Mrs. D. Saini to join as our OT sister incharge and thus there was a feeling of family and belonging, so important in the development phases of any new venture. Dr. Subimal Roy was spending considerable time in Neuropathology to complete the picture. I had a vision of Neurosciences Centre akin to PNT, however I knew that basic neurosciences can never develop on its own because of economic compulsions. My emphasis was on developing clinical neurosciences and bring in basic neurosciences within its umbrella.
By mid 70's both neurosurgery and neurology had relocated itself on the main hospitals 4th floor and we were lucky to have separate independent wards. Mrs. M. Bindra joined us as sister I/C of neurosurgery ward and her dedication eventually made our ward the talking point of nursing care in the Institute. She eventually rose to become the Nursing Superintendent of the Neurosciences Centre.
In 1966 one day, walked into my office Dr. Brahm Prakash, who had resigned his Short Service Commission in the army and had married recently. He was at loose ends, asking my advise as to what he should do. He had earlier worked as my junior resident in general surgery at Medical College, Lucknow and the association was about 10 yrs. old. I persuaded him to join neurosurgery. We were able to rustle up the required formalities for starting MCh course with bare facilities but boundless enthusiasm. He was the first trainee and later joined our faculty and went on to become the Director Professor at G.B. Pant Hospital and started his own MCh programme. The AlIMS MCh course went from strength to strength and eventually we were having both the 5 yr and 3 yr streams. Neurology D.M. had started already in 1965. Now AlIMS trainees are spread all over India. Several headed departments e.g? Dr. Gourie Devi became Director Vice Chancellor of NIMHANS, Dr. B. Prakash at G.B. Pant Hospital Delhi, Dr. B.S. Das at NIMHANS, Dr. S. Mohanty at IMS, BHU Varanasi, Dr. A. K. Reddy at NIMS Hyderabad, and Dr. M.A. Wani at SKIMS Srinagar. Many hold important positions in teaching as well as private sector. We i.e. PNT and I are inordinately proud of all who trained themselves with us and wish them all the best in their future endeavors. Our wish is that they better us in their achievements. A major breakthrough in our clinical services occurred in 1976 with the coming of Prof. H.W. Pia who did a course in laboratory microsurgery. In the next few years we started a microsurgery laboratory and operative microsurgery was initiated. In the Indian scenario we stole the lead. In late 60's with the help of our ENT surgeon Dr. S.K. Kacker we started trans-sphenoidal pituitary surgery which consolidated in the 70's and became a routine procedure.
The process of development of the Neurosciences Centre in collaboration with the Cardiothoracic Sciences Centre started in real earnest in early 70's. Dr. N. Gopinath of Cardiothoracic Surgery and PNT were the architects. Land allocation was done by Prof. V. Ramalingaswami, the then Director AIIMS. Ghosh and Pradhan Associates were appointed architects and their started the planning for the basement, ground floor and the operation theatre block of our centre. Hours and hours of meetings with the architects-designing and tearing plans, it went on and on. I heard my wife say that I started talking of planning even in my sleep. We were about ready to have the foundation stone laying. This was 1977 and Mrs. Indira Gandhi's infamous emergency was coming to an end. One afternoon, in PNT's office, Dr. N. Gopinath suddenly said it would be nice to have Mrs. Gandhi lay the foundation stone. I had recently treated Mr. Dhawan's (then the personal secretary to Mrs. Indira Gandhi) nephew and I said shall I try. I rang him up on the phone from PNTs office. Mr. Dhawan immediately said yes and wanted probable days and times so that it could be confirmed taking into account Mrs. Gandhi's tour programmes. Elections were round the corner and Dr. Ramalingaswami wisely asked us to go slow. Mrs. Gandhi lost the elections and it is possible that the Janata Government which followed may have taken offence and delayed the start of the Centre had we got Mrs.lndira Gandhi to lay our foundation stone. Eventually, President Mr.Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy lay the foundation stone in 1978. When the building started many problems surfaced e.g. we suddenly discovered that there were very few toilets while most of the patients of cardiology were on diuretics and required use of toilets frequently. Again to the drawing boardbreaking of walls, laying of new sewer lines and so new toilets came into being. I know the OPD and of course the toilets have today become too inadequate with increasing number of patients coming to the Centre.
The brief period of Janata regime from 1977 and 1979 saw the irrepressible Mr. Raj Narain come as the Health Minister. All work in the Ministry came to a halt as also our Centre which bore the backlash of erratic ways of Mr. Raj Narain. The only thing I remember was meeting him near the present Community Medicine Department late in the evening, Mr. Raj Narain was coming to inaugurate, if I remember correctly, the Centre of Community Medicine. As usual he was hours late and the then Director Dr. L.P. Agarwal was standing with 3to4 faculty members. I tried slinking away but Dr. L.P. Agarwal called me and more or less forced me to stay on awaiting Mr. Raj Narain. He eventually came when the numbers of people waiting was not more than half a dozen. Before going to cut the ribbon he was introduced to all of us. He was highly intrigued with me and asked what would I find if I did have an opportunity to see the inside of the head of Mrs. Indira Gandhi. I made some polite comments though I was sure Mrs. Gandhi had a better quality brain than Mr. Raj Narain. Anyway he went on to narrate it with great gusto during a special convocation to award an Honorary D. Litt to Dr. Sewoosagar Ramgoolam of Mauritius. It was in such bad taste that Morarji Desai who was chairing frowned and all of us in the auditorium hung our head with embarrassment.
My two stints as Chief of Neurosciences Centre were significant in the development of the Centre. The first was a 2 year term as acting Chief of Centre while Dr. PNT was on Nehru Fellowship between 1984-86. This was the time when after the first phase of building (OPD, radiology wing, basement and OT block) we had reached a dead end as far as expansion of the Centre was concerned. Prof. M. L. Bhatia was the Chief of Cardiothoracie Sciences Centre. Our formal requests for funds were stiffly rebuffed by the then Joint Secretary Finance Adviser (JSFA) of Health Ministry. Ms. Sarla Grewal, widely nick named 'hunterwali' by her unkind colleagues, was the Secretary. We were advised not to try and influence her which could cause an unpredictable antagonism to our proposal. Anyway we went to meet her, placed before her, the developments till date, including our mounting clinical load, increasing public expectations, and the blockades experienced by us for expanding our Centres to what was originally planned. Ms. Grewal quietly listened to us, occasionally interjecting for a clarification. After we completed she asked for the JSFA who was the main stumbling block, to come and join the meeting. The moment he saw us his hackles were raised. On being asked by Ms.Grewal as to what were the problems in giving us the grant he started off with a long list of financial mismanagement by AlIMS in which our Centres had no role to play. (Most of the problems recounted were exaggerated to say the least). Ms. Grewal asked as to why our Centres were being penalised for what AlIMS had done. To this the JSFA said that this is a part of financial management for which he was responsible. Then we saw the legendary Ms. Sarla Grewal come into her elements. In chaste Punjabi she asked the JSFA as to who was the Secretary of the Ministry and how dare he speak to her like that. The poor JSFA spluttered and stuttered and tried to put in a word edgeways. Ms. Grewal asked him to leave the office and we knew that our battle was half won. However after leaving her office both Prof. M.L. Bhatia and I, as a matter of diplomacy, went to the JSFA's office. He was in the dumps. We nursed his hurt ego by asking for his help as we knew that he was quite capable of going to the Finance (Expenditure) Secretary and derail our proposals. I think the strategy worked as he did become a supporter. Of course things were helped as a few close relations of the JSFA fell conveniently ill at the same time requiring cardiac and neurosurgery. Funds eventually came though it took another year and in 1986 the remainder of the present Centre's building was started. Prof. P. Venugopal was a constant source of support in our endeavours. In the same period the next Union Health Secretary was Mr. Srinivasan, who was unenthusiastic about our Centres. His general impression was that we were overstaffed, our equipment underutilized and our clinical output low compared to other hospitals e.g. G. B. Pant Hospital Delhi, Christian Medical College Vellore, and certainly Apollo Hospital Madras which to him was the ultimate in financial management and output. Incidentally he was involved with the starting of Escorts Heart Institute which he clearly told us is a 'better bet than us'. Prof. Bhatia, Venugopal and I went through our records as well as what we could gather from the other institutions which Mr. Srinivasan thought had better quality and quantity of work. He had a meeting separately with our Neurosciences group to take stock. I had taken Dr. Baldev Singh and Dr. P.N. Tandon for the presentation made by me. By the end Mr. Srinivasan was convinced of the genuineness of our proposals. My plea at that time was to get financial grant equal to G.B. Pant Hospital whose output was half of ours. It was a landmark victory as our grants immediately increased, a trend which continued in the future.
My next stint as Chief of Centre was between 1988-95. Finances were forthcoming in good measure We had a CT scan and state of art angiography equipment. Our ICU was the best in the country. What we lacked was a MRI Scanner. I must pay special thanks to Mr. R.L. Mishra who was the Union Health Secretary in the latter part of my assignment. We had an excellent relationship and he was always positive in his approach. It is through his help that we got the NMR department setup at AIIMS, which was far more than merely obtaining MRI equipment. Incidentally even today the NMR Department has the only 2 Tesla machine capable of MR Scan and also MR Spectroscopy. The NMR department also has chemical NMR and the only experimental NMR in India today. It was an unique experience to create a whole department with the help of the then director Dr. S. K. Kacker who was always supportive.
It is during my tenure that proposals were sent to the Government for making the Centre the best equipped not only in India but in the Asian region. The Gamma Knife has started after I retired and I am sure PET scan and other newer equipment would come in due course.
I am often asked as to whether I have any regrets. My special regret is our offices being removed from the main Institute. It was originally envisaged that offices would remain where they were located i.e., adjacent to Anatomy dissection hall. The translocation has severed the umbilical cord to the other specialties in the Institute. This isolation does not augur well for the future of our Centre, as any branch of medicine to flourish requires interaction with sister disciplines. My other regret is the inability to have nonclinical neurosciences to come and establish themselves in our Centers new building. I had tried, even to the extent of keeping a floor vacant for one year under various pretexts.
My greatest gains were the colleagues I had - friends for life. I know I left alive vibrant active Centre which will only grow from strength to strength. Even today for anything I always say Neurosciences Centre, AIIMS is the best and with every breath only wish it the very best in its future endeavors.”
“The Departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences were initiated in March 1965 with the appointment of Prof. Baldev Singh and myself as the first Professors. A neurology service in the Department of Medicine started by Dr. Jim Austin from the USA and later under care of Dr. Vimla Virmani was already in existence at that time. Significantly enough the Institute was, from its very inception, an important centre of neuroscience research. The first two Professors in Department of Physiology (Prof. B.K. Anand and Prof. A.S. Paintal) were undisputable leaders of neurophysiology in the country. Dr. Paintal had, however, already moved to Patel Chest Institute a year earlier, the remaining faculty members of the department were all pursuing neurophysiology research. Prof. Keswani, the Chief of Anatomy, was primarily interested in neuroanatomy. Prof. G. P. Talwar, at that stage, was enthusiastically involved in researches in neurochemistry This was of course before his shift to immunology. Acknowledging these strengths International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) had already held one of its earlier workshops in the Institute. Dr. Sriramachari, Deputy Director of Indian Council of Medical Research, though not on the faculty of the Institute freely provided his services for all neuropathological work till several years later when Dr. Subimal Roy took over the responsibility fully. While clinical neurology and neurosurgery departments existed at several centers in the country much earlier; even the oldest such centers at Vellore, Madras, Bombay and Calcutta, did not have such broad base of neuroscience as we were fortunate to have at the Institute. Given the overall milieu of rapid growth and development in the institute at that time, the clinical departments also expanded rapidly. It will be hard for the current staff and students of the Institute to visualize how close interaction existed among all these departments and units in the earlier years. This was in no small measure due to the all pervading influence of Prof. Baldev Singh real father figure for all of us.
The idea of establishing a "Brain Research Centre" at the Institute had already been envisaged by Prof. B.K. Anand even before the clinical departments came into existence. No doubt this was primarily thought of as a basic research centre. Thus on 1st December 1964, Dr. Anand vide his letter No. Phy/64/1235 requested the Director for initiating steps for developing a Brain Research Centre" with the existing ICMR Neurophysiology unit as its nucleus. Unfortunately no action was taken on his request.
In 1968, when the Institute was to formulate its development plans for the Fourth Five Year plan of the Government, Prof. Anand, Prof. Baldev Singh and I had several informal discussions to once again revive the proposal for a Brain Research Centre. It may be mentioned that, not surprisingly, this proposal was heavily loaded in favour of creating research laboratories including a couple for neurology and neurosurgery. While we were heavily constrained in our clinical work due to limited diagnostic and operative facilities at this time we went along with Prof. Anand in supporting this proposal hoping to strengthen the patient care services through the development plan for the Institute hospital which was to be commissioned
The Development Committee approved the proposal in principle, but owing to financial constraints no concrete steps were taken. The Institute Body ultimately agreed to create a few staff positions so that "Centre can make a start as early as the Financial Year 1970/71. In practical terms it amounted to absorbing some of the staff of the Indian Council of Medical Research Neurophysiology Unit and nothing more.
When we finally shifted to the new hospital the Neurosurgery Department had 22 beds allotted to it. We had one operation theatre, but no specialized neurosurgical operation table and no intensive care unit. The neuroradiology set up consisted of a skull table without automatic changer for angiography, no facilities for tomography nor a dedicated unit for myelography. Isotope encephalometry then a routine diagnostic investigation abroad was nonexistent. We had an EEG machine but no facilities for EMG or nerve conduction. Nonetheless we were facing increasing demands for patient care from all over the country and also our neighboring countries. Waiting lists for admission and surgery were a constant source of worry for us and frustration for the suffering patients. We had already started the M. Ch. course.
Similar problems were being faced by the Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery Departments. One day in 1971 when Prof. Gopinath and I were scrubbing for surgery in the common scrub room between our two theatres, he informed me that they have submitted a proposal for a Cardiothoracic Centre "Why don't you also do so, otherwise we will never progress". I, therefore, once again took up this matter with Prof. Anand who was now also the Dean and sounded the Director, Prof. V. Ramalingaswami. On receiving a favorable response, it was decided that, unlike in the past, our proposal this time should be a comprehensive one, including parallel development of basic neurosciences and clinical disciplines. Dr. Manchanda along with Prof. Anand formulated the proposal in respect to basic neurosciences. I, in consultation with Prof. Sumedha Pathak, the then Professor and Head of Department of Neurology and on the advice of Prof. Baldev Singh and Dr. Banerji prepared the plan for the clinical centre. A draft proposal was thus submitted on 16`" July 1971 to the Dean with the comments "in view of the present extent of development at the Institute to start with emphasis will be on neurophysiology, neurology and neurosurgery. Nucleus for the following will be established with a view to development of these into fully fledged specialties, as integral part of the centre, as personnel and fiscal resources were available". These included neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neuropathology. This proposal was discussed by Prof. Baldev Singh (who was now an Emeritus Professor) with Prof. B.K. Anand who agreed with it fully and desired to "go ahead and fill up all the details regarding space, equipment, personnel etc. working out the cost" etc. We agreed to change the name from Brain Research Centre to Neurosciences Centre. We had a detailed and somewhat ambitious plan formulated. Though the plans were ready there was no obvious source for funding it. Was it going to be another document for the archives? This thought remained a constant worry, Prof. Ramalingaswami was fully in agreement but was finding it difficult to find funds for it.
Several months passed. One day while casually discussing our mounting frustrations with lack of any progress with my elder brother, who was then a Jt. Secretary in the Prime Minister's office, I initially got a cautious reply, "Prakash, officially I do not wish to get involved in any thing that may be considered as a favour to my brother. The only thing I can do is to arrange a meeting for you with the PS to the Hon'ble Minister of Health Shri Uma Shanker Dixit. Even before that, first take the permission from your Director to do so". It was easy to obtain Director's permission and shortly afterwards a meeting was held with Shri Rajgopal, who was more than sympathetic to our request for establishing the Neurosciences Centre. At the end of the meeting he told me that it was not possible to get such a major scheme funded in the middle of a plan period but "may be we could get advanced action initiated which can then be formalized in the next plan". He promised to discuss this with Dixitji at an appropriate time. The meeting ended with encouraging but cautious note, "I promise nothing but I am convinced it is a genuine need. You are asking nothing for yourself? you are willing to provide more and better service to those knocking at your door".
Not expecting any prompt action I was pleasantly surprised to receive a call from the Director later that evening, "Health Secretary Shri K.K. Dass wants us to include the matter related to the establishment of the Neurosciences Centre in the agenda for the next meeting of the Institute Body due shortly. He wants a copy of the proposal sent to him in advance". On 2nd August 1972, a copy of the formal proposal was duly sent to the Shri K.K. Dass by the Director. At the Institute Body meeting held on 12'" September 1972, the Institute decided, "The Institute considered that it was fortunate that expertise in several fields of Neurosciences exists at the institute both in basic and clinical areas. The Institute considered the scheme put up for its consideration as possible, desirable and in the larger interests of the country. Recognizing the strengths already built in the various departments in respect of the neurosciences, the Institute approved the proposal in principle to set up a Centre for Neurological Sciences at the AIIMS and decided that not only it be included in the proposals for the Fifth Five year Plan of the AIIMS but, the possibility of advance action in the Fourth Five Year Plan itself, should also be seriously explored. It was accordingly decided that the matter be considered by the Finance Committee in greater detail". We felt happy but not jubilant, fully conscious of the harder battles ahead
The Proposal was duly put up to the Finance Committee meetings held on 4th January 1973, 8th February 1973 and 5th April 1973 and as feared owing to "financial constraints" no funds could be made available. The real reason was no doubt that Shri K.K. Dass had retired by now and his successor Shri Ramachandran had his own antipathies against the Institute as future events confirmed.
However, without waiting for a formal decision of the Finance Committee, Prof. Ramalingaswami forwarded the proposal to Dr. Banwari Lall, Chief, Health Division, Planning Commission for his consideration. Dr. Lail was a close friend of Prof. Anand who arranged a meeting with him in the Planning Commission after Dr. Lall had opportunity to scrutinize the proposal. With high hopes Prof. Anand and I attended the meeting. To our surprise Dr. Lall, after a brief discussion, said, "Bal (B.K. Anand), I am sorry this proposal as it stands is unlikely to be approved owing to severe financial constraints. The only component that may be favorably looked at is the patient care part". He also made several suggestions for curtailing the budgetary demands even for the clinical component. It was with a sense of disappointment that we walked out of his office. I was, in addition assailed with the fear of losing Prof. Anand's interest and support for the project. Probably sensing my thoughts, on our way to the exit he suddenly stopped said, "Prakash, it is too bad to have things take a turn this way, but let us be practical. We should take whatever we can get and keep trying for the rest. You will have my full support". Few in his place could have been so generous and even more so the enthusiastic support we continued to get from him later on provided enough proof of the genuineness of these sentiments. For all this he no doubt, got the flak of his colleagues in the Physiology Department.
In pursuance of the decision of the Institute Body and the informal advice received from Dr. Lall we carried out another detailed exercise to draft a formal EFC (Expenditure Finance Committee) memo. In the meanwhile Prof. Gopinath had carried out a similar exercise for the Cardio-thoracic Centre. As a matter of fact, these exercises were mostly done with the constant consultations with each other. Combined these two proposals required considerable financial support. Dr. Ramalingaswami advised us that we should seek the views of the new Health Minister Shri Khadilkar. After a patient hearing of our individual proposals, he pointed out the difficult financial situation and advised that we should try and economize by establishing some common facilities and sharing whatever can be shared thus bringing down the total cost of two proposals. He promised to get the demands included in the Fifth Five Year Plan proposals of the Institute. Thus Prof. Gopinath and I carried out another exercise maintaining the basic character of two independent centers, yet having some common areas and support laboratories. On 2nd August 1973, a new draft proposal was forwarded to the Director with a note, "In view of the difficult economics situation, we (Profs. Anand, Gopinath and Tandon) have also reviewed the projects with an idea to prune these without undue detriment to the utility of the projects". And further, "Following this review, if we could get a total of Rs. 350 lakhs (Rs. 200 lakhs for Cardiothoracic and Rs. 150 lacs for Neurosciences Centre), we could still make a worthwhile contribution".
The Planning Commission, discussed the proposals of the Health Ministry (which included those of AIIMS) on 31st August 1973. The bias of the Health Secretary, Shri Ramachandran against the institute was too obvious. He had proposed a total of Rs. 150 lakhs for the whole Institute. As a matter of fact it was specially emphasized that the Ministry "did not favor that all the specialties should be concentrated in one place in the country". Following strong pleadings by the Director, one of the members of the Planning Commission, Member (M), pointed out that "the Ministry had proposed Rs. 1.50 crores for the AlIMS as against the Fourth Plan provision of Rs. 3.33 crores, and since this was a premier Institute in the country, the Ministry may explore the possibility of providing some additional funds for the Fifth Five Year Plan. With regards to the proposals for the two centers, the Planning Commission ultimately decided to allocate separate funds for "the development of super-specialties: a total of 236 lakhs, without specifically mentioning our proposals. This was a typical bureaucratic stroke by the Health Secretary to scuttle our proposal. Before implementing the program, the Ministry of Health decided to enquire from all medical institutions in the country to submit their proposals for "development of super-specialties", notwithstanding the fact that the Central Government is supposed to directly fund only the national institutes. As expected proposals were received from several places and interestingly even Orthopaedics was considered a super-specialty. The Health Ministry, obviously under the instructions from its Secretary put the whole matter in the cold storage with the usual excuse, "the matter is under consideration": even though the Fifth Plan had already begun from April 1974.
One day Dr. Karan Singh, who was now the Minister of Health, desired to see me for some unconnected reason. At the end of our meeting, I enquired about our proposals for the centers. Only then the cat came out of the bag. He frankly informed me that the Secretary was sitting on the file on the excuse of collecting information mentioned above. Dr. Karan Singh recognized the futility of the exercise. Since in the limited funds allocated for super specialities it would be impossible to meet the needs of even a few. He promptly took the initiative and in August 1974 appointed a committee under the Chairmanship of Dr. Srivastava, the Director General Health Services, to assess the existing potentials and future possibilities of strengthening superspecialities in the centrally funded institutions only. The Committee included experts in the concerned disciplines from all over the country. It collected the necessary information from various institutions and finally paid site-visits to each of these before recommending our two proposals alongwith some allocations to a couple of others. Thus from a total of Rs. 236 lacs allocation for super specialities the two Centres at the AIIMS, was provided Rs. 188.37 lacs.
On March 26, 1975, even before we received a formal approval of the Government to establish the Centre, a letter addressed to the Director, AlIMS received from Dr. Sharad Kumar, DDG(M), indicating that, "Under the Purely Central Scheme of "Development of Superspecialities', the Government of India has sanctioned a provision of Rs. 10 lakhs for the development of the Departments of (1) Neurosurgery and Neurology; and (2) Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery...............”
This communication, though not mentioning anything about the Centers, was the first indication that the Government had selected AIIMS; for development of these super-specialties. Two weeks later on 11th April 1975, the recommendations of the "Expert Committee on Establishment of Cardiothoracic and Neurosciences Centre at the Institute", were ultimately received, setting at rest all uncertainties about the two proposals. It would be worth reproducing the extracts of this communication with respect to Neurosciences Centre (see Dr. Sharad Kumar's letter dated 11th April 1975). Shortly afterwards on 22"d July 1975 a formal letter from the Ministry of Health and F.W. No. V. 16020/54/ME (PG), communicated to the Institute an allocation of Rs. 188.37 lacs for the super-specialties (including both centers) for the 5th Five Year Plan. It needs to be recorded that the fullest understanding between Prof. Gopinath and myself and the cooperation of the rest of the faculty of the concerned departments made it possible for us to keep on revising and redrafting the proposals as per the bureaucratic needs of the Government, without sacrificing the basic objectives. No hidden rivalries, personal egos or unjustified interests of individuals ever cast any shadow as we pursued the planning and implementation of the projects through various administrative channels. For me it was a rare experience of trust and camaraderie not so common in our institutions.
As expected it was not smooth sailing from now onwards. We had to wait till March 1976 for the first release of funds, a paltry sum of Rs. 3 lacs. At one stage the Financial Advisor to Ministry of Health, whose main grudge against the Institute happened to be "misuse of funds for erecting black marble columns in the foyer" without any justification reduced the total allocation for the Fifth Plan by nearly Rs. 40 lacs, probably worrying that we would waste it on black marble columns. When no explanation and assurances from Dr. Gopinath and myself failed to convince him, we had to approach the office of the Finance Minister (Shri C. Subrramanayam) and the Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Shri P.N. Haksar, two of the most progressive policy makers of the country has known. Let me hasten to add that Prof. Gopinath and I approached them with the approval of our Director.
In July 1976, the Estate Committee formally appointed M/s. Pradhan Ghosh and Associates as the architects. However, between 1976 and 1978 repeated revisions of the building plan were required due to pruning of the budget allocations and rising cost of the building. At last on 14th April 1978, the President of India Shri Neelam Sanjiva Reddy laid the foundation stone of the twin centers. In his welcome address Dr. Ramalingaswami stated, "Our vision of the Centers is that they will be Centers both of public service and of higher learning at the same time". Their philosophy is that in which the patients and their needs come first, everything else is subordinate and subservient to this: He pointed out that, "The greatest and deepest need of a Centre is to be needed by Society". Quoting the famous economist Francis Delaisi, he said that. "the purpose of an Institution is to supply stability needed for long term operations. At the same time, Institutions must be able to adjust to change. It is our hope that stability, adjustability and continuity will mix in the centers in appropriate balance". Rashtrapatiji in his address expressed his happiness on the establishment of these Centers. While emphasizing that, "Our most urgent need is Primary Health Care" which should be pursued with all energy and resources at our command." He pointed out that, "we cannot altogether neglect the setting up and improvement of more advanced levels of health care at District, State and national levels. We need to have a few Centers of excellence in a large country like ours where the most advanced levels of care can be provided; specialists and researchers can be trained and the most complex problems may be referred for appropriate management" For him, "It is not a question of this or that" but a "proper balance in the developments of these various levels of health care". He was equally concerned about the scientific community which must be able to discover, adopt and innovate suitable methods not only in dealing with our current problems but also in coping with changing trends and changing needs of the future". I have quoted these excerpts from the speeches because I believe that as long as we pursue these ideals the Centre would continue to justify the generous resources provided by the government and enjoy the trust of the people.
Five years later, in March 1983, out patient clinics for Neurology, Neurosurgery (as also Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery) moved to the new building, while the work continued to complete the rest. Progressively as the work progressed we continued to occupy the areas already completed. By July 1984, the built up area included basement, OPD, receiving station, noninvasive laboratories, radiology wing, 8 operation theatres (Neuro 3, Cardiac 4, Common 1) along with ICUs and postoperative wards. It was only in 1988-89 that the Centres became fully functional in their new abode. At this time Neurosciences centre had a total of 180 beds, 3 fully equipped operation theatres, 30 bedded ICUs, Intermediate care wards, fully fledged departments of Neuroradiology, Neuroanaesthesia, within this complex. The offices of the faculty and supportive staff, Neurochemistry laboratories continued to remain in the old building and by mutual agreement the Neuropathology still continues to be in parent Department of Pathology. This may be compared to the facilities available to us before we moved to the Centre. The combined strength of beds for Neurology and Neurosurgery including a half baked ICU was only 72, scattered in different parts of the old hospital.
There was only one dedicated operation theatre for neurosurgery and we shared another one with Cardiothoracic Department three days a week. There were four members on the faculty of Neurosurgery. I have been informed that there will be separate write-up's about the development of Neurology, Neuroradiology, Neuroanaesthesia, Neuropathology, Neurochemistry etc. hence I shall restrict myself in the remaining part of this review on Neurosurgery only. Nonetheless it should be mentioned that once the scheme for creating the Centre was approved, in the interval before its complete occupation we were permitted to augment the overall facilities and staff strength in a progressive manner with a view to improve the quality and maximise output of all our activities-patient care service and education in particular. Funds for research had, as even now, to be obtained on competitive basis from the grant giving agencies. During this interval we were able to obtain a munificent grant from the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) which modernized our diagnostic and clinical facilities including those for operation theatres and ICU. The first CT Scan in the country was installed under this grant. It was not just a coincidence that this was inaugurated by the President of India on the same day as the foundation of the Centre(s) was laid.
Coming back to the growth of neurosurgical services, in the first full year of our work i.e. 1966 we admitted 140 patients, attended to 540 in the OPD and performed 111 major and 89 minor surgical procedures. It may be mentioned that at that time many of our patients were admitted, operated upon and discharged from the emergency ward. Five years later in 1971 these numbers were 422 admitted, 1044 attended in OPD and 535 (303 major and 232 minor operations performed. In 1976, the year when the first token grant was received for the Centre we admitted 1094 patients, attended to 3784 (1960 new and 1824 old) patients in the OPD, and performed 520 major and 785 minor surgical operations. It may be recalled that at that time neuroradiological investigations pneumoencephalography ventriculography, angiography and myelography were performed by. the clinical team and hence were included as minor operations. In 1986, prior to shifting to the Centre 1898 patients were admitted, 11.225 (3406 new and 7918 old) patients seen in the OPD and 735 and 257 major or minor operations were performed. Starting with only two faculty members in 1965 - Dr. Banerji and myself, it was only in 1971 that we added one more lecturer. Dr B. Prakash. The next person to join was Dr R. Bhatia as Lecturer in 1974 The first faculty position in the Department of Neurosurgery after the Centre came into existence, was 1979 with Dr. Banerji taking over as a Professor. A little known episode in this connection needs mention to illustrate the prevailing team spirit at that time. When we got the first position of a Professor sanctioned for the Centre, I had in my mind wanted it for Dr. Banerji. The day the matter was to be finalized in the Academic Committee I was indisposed and requested Dr. Banerji to attend the meeting and briefed him about my plan. His immediate response was that it should be alloted to Neuropathology, "Dr. Subimal Roy should be given a chance before me". Dr. V.S. Mehta then joined as a Lecturer in 1981 followed by Dr. A.K. Mahapatra in 1983. In the meanwhile Dr. B. Prakash left for G.B. Pant Hospital in 1980. Thus even after fully commissioning the Centre in 1988, the Department had a total strength of 5 faculty members; who continued to share the ever increasing service load as indicated by the figures provided above.
Besides the full fledged in-service M.Ch. course (3 years for post MS (surgery) and a direct 5+1 year after MBBS), the department has been participating in undergraduate education as well as collaborating with basic science department for Ph.D. program. From 1968 when our first trainee obtained his M.Ch. degree, till 1988, twenty eight persons obtained their postgraduate degrees. Since 1988 up to date an additional 31 have qualified. Most of these are serving the country. Several of them became chiefs of their departments at Delhi, Varanasi, Srinagar, Bangalore, Cuttack and Hyderabad, thus fulfilling an important objective for which the Centre was created. From its inception the Department has been actively engaged in CME programs both intramural and extramural. Short-term training programs are organized regularly on recent advances like CT scanning, Microsurgery, Neural Transplantation, Vascular Surgery, Skull base surgery etc. An yearly course on Neurobiology for Clinicians was organized (4 at the AIIMS and 1 at NIMHANS, Bangalore). National level Hands-on Workshops were organized from time to time with the help of international faculty as for example on microneurosurgery, skull-base surgery, neural transplantation etc. A microneurosurgical laboratory, the first of its kind in the country, was established for training in microsurgical techniques, not only for neurosurgeons but for others specialities also from all over the country. The first National Neural Transplantation Facility was established in collaboration with the Department of Anatomy. The first Text Book of Neurosurgery in the country was the result of a joint effort between Madras Neurological Institute and AlIMS in 1980. This has been completely revised and updated in 1996. Four monographs "Lectures in neurobiology" were brought out in collaboration with the Department of Anatomy, AIIMS. The faculty has made contributions to several national and international text books including Tropical Neurology, Handbook of Neurology and Techniques in Neurosurgery.
AlIMS provided a unique milieu for advancing frontiers of knowledge. The Neurosurgery Department fully participated in this effort The major areas of research contributions of the Department involved collaboration of other departments in the Institute and outside included;
The above account will testify that much has been accomplished, no doubt a lot more needs to be. For me personally it has been a rewarding experience and source of great satisfaction, not just the physical growth of the Centre but the years of affection and friendship of the team who really made this happen. The only regret that continues to haunt me is our failure to see a parallel growth of the basic neurosciences as an integral part of the Neurosciences Centre. Individually these disciplines in the Institute have made very outstanding contributions. It has been stated that an institution is the lengthened shadow of an individual. If there is one example to disprove this adage, the Neurosciences Centre is one. It was born in the dreams of several, nurtured with the selfless, dedicated services of many who submerged their egoes for a cause greater than themselves, working as a team the parallel of which could hardly be found any where. In the true spirit of Gita, their sole concern was duty and not the reward. No sacrifice was great enough for establishing a centre of excellence. Posterity will judge whether they succeeded on not but no one would deny that they attempted. Unlike many other such centres in our country, even after the departure of those who initiated it, the Centre continues its journey to greater heights as will be obvious from the story told by those who succeeded. I hope and pray that the Centre will continue to live up to the foundation stone. "In the ultimate analysis, it is not the budget, nor the number of staff positions that makes a truly great centre of public service and higher learning. It is the presence of thoughtful, imaginative, humanistic, loyal and devoted faculty and students that is vital". The Centre continues to be endowed with them and I can only wish them greater heights in years ahead.
Recommendations of The Committee on Establishment of Neurology and Neurosurgery Centre at the AIIMS and Safdarjang Complex
This Centre has been chosen for the following reasons :
The needs of this proposed Neuro-centre are indicated in Appendix I and may be seen to be economical and the minimum required.
This recommendation to make the neurology complex of the AlIMS and Safdarjang Hospital into a Neuro Centre is based on the following requirements.
The Committee has further observed that
Department of Neurosurgery started a humble beginning in March 1965, with only two faculty members and a few beds. However, with dedicated efforts and sincerity of Prof. P.N. Tandon and Prof. A.K. Banerji, M.Ch training program could be initiated in 1967, when Dr. Brahm Prakash joined as M.Ch. student. In the last 45 years, Department has made a long journey in training over 140 neurosurgeons. The training provided here is considered the best in the country, as evaluated by independent assessment system.
The department is a Mecca for Neurosurgical patient care in India. It is equipped with ultra-modern technology and equipments from time to time i.e. operating microscope, Laser, CUSA, Ultrasound, Intra-operative MRI, Gamma Knife and Image Guidance System, which are necessary to provide state of the art care at par with the best neurosurgical centers any where in the world. With a moderate beginning in 1965, when only 50 patients were operated upon, today we operate around 3000 cases annually at AIIMS. With the inception of Trauma Centre in 2007, where we deal with all types of cranio-spinal trauma, our department, in addition, operates around 1500 trauma cases annually. There are in addition over 250 patients treated with Gamma Knife Radiosurgery annually (Total number till date around3000).
The Department has always been in the forefront in the areas of research and academic activities. There has been research on evidence based clinical practice and laboratory based work. These include clinico-pathological research on head injury, neuro-tuberculosis, glioma, pituitary tumors, peripheral nerve and brachial plexus injury & intracranial aneurysms. Laboratory based studies include (a) Neural transplant was developed as a national facility by DST (1984-1990), (b) Evoked potentials as diagnostic and prognostic tool, (c) Study of genetic and molecular aspect of glioma, (d) Study of cerebral blood flow using SPECT scan in brain tumor, minor head injury and craniostenosis (e) Near infrared spectroscopy and (f) MR spectroscopy etc. The Department has participated in a large number of multi-centric studies at National and International levels.
Feelings of the architects of Neurosurgery AIIMS
(Content provider: Dr. Achal K Srivastava)
Neurology is one of the earliest super – specialty at the Institute. Dr. James Austin, a Neurologist from Oregon, USA started a nucleus of Neurology service in the department of Medicine in 1962-63. In 1965, Dr Sushila Nayar, then Union health minister, invited Prof. Baldev Singh (one of the founder members of NSI, Neurological Society of India) to start a department of Neurology at AIIMS. When Prof Baldev Singh (also called ‘father of neurology’ in India and lovingly called "Papa Neuron") moved to neurophysiology on his retirement, the department was headed by Dr S N Pathak and then by Dr Vimla Virmani in 1975. After Prof. Vimla Virmani, Prof. M C Maheshwari took charge of the department in 1978. The department was shifted to the Cardiothoracic and Neurosciences Centre in the year 1985. In the year 2001, Prof. M.Behari took over the mantle of leadership. She retired in June 2016. Prof Kameshwar Prasad became the head of the department in October 2013. He retired on 31st January 2019. Prof. MV Padma Srivastava took over the leadership on 1st February 2019. From its inception, the emphasis of the department has been on quality patient care, research and to achieve academic excellence. Though the department started with 25 in patient beds, now there are 75 beds including neurointensive care. Out patient services and inpatient care has been incessantly on the rise over the years. The department has tried to maintain impeccable record of comprehensive patient care, teaching and training of students as well as contribute significantly to the scientific literature in terms of research. The department actively pursues clinical care and research activities in the sub-specialities of Movement Disorders, Neuroinfections and immunology, Stroke, Intractable epilepsy, Neuro-muscular Disorders, Sleep, Headache, Dementia amongst others. The department is equipped with the latest modalities for the diagnosis and management of various neurological disorders. The department has been in the forefront of medical research since its formation and is renowned internationally for quality clinical and basic research, particularly in the field of stem cells, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, epilepsy, neuromuscular disorders, sleep and headache. Regular patient information programs and scientific deliberations are conducted by the department. The faculty of the department routinely participates in the public awareness programs on television, and radio etc. and are active in various national and international CME programs.

Focus areas of clinical care and research of the Department.
The department of Cardiac Anaesthesia maintains its records, duly catalogued indexed and computerized (Since Oct 2006) using SPSS software. The headings under which the records are categorized are as under:
These records are registered daily in operation theatre on a medical record sheet and register and also computerized. Annual report of department records is submitted annually.
The normal functioning of the department is according to the rules and regulations laid down by CN Centre, AIIMS. Seven Theatres function everyday with 2 or 3 cases in each theatre daily. One Emergency heart surgery may be taken up anytime in the day/night. One consultant and one or two seniors residents round the clock emergency duty for postoperative care of cardiac patients as well as intensive and ventilatory/resuscitative management in coronary care unit. One consultant on round the clock call for emergency operations. Anaesthesia is given for a total of 14-20 heart operations everyday with postop and coronary ventrilatory care. General anesthesia or monitored anaesthesia care is given in cath. Lab and computerized angiography and MRI in Cardiac patients.Two senior residents are on emergency call-attending calls from CCU, ICU, CTVS wards, Cath. Lab. and Operation Theatres. Bedside pre anaesthetic check up is done daily.
2 academic sessions held per week as part of department’s academic activity – where seminars/Tutorials/Journal Clubs/Examinations are held by faculty & residents. The department has access to the AIIMS Dr. B.B.Dixit Library and National Medical Library at all times. Internet access is available via computer facility in all consultant’s rooms.
The Department of Cardiology at AIIMS was established under the leadership of Prof. Sujoy B. Roy. The department has developed excellent facilities for clinical care and has fully developed facilities for adult and pediatric interventions including coronary interventions, valvuloplasty, device closure of congenital shunts and electrophysiology services (including radiofrequency ablation, pacemaker, bi-ventricular pacemaker and cardioverter defibrillator implantation). Laboratory testing facilities include treadmill testing, holter recording, echocardiography (including transthoracic, transesophageal, 3-D and fetal echocardiography), Tilt testing for syncope and electrophysiology testing including CARTO system mapping. The department has done pioneering work in the field of rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease including juvenile mitral stenosis, coronary artery disease including angioplasties, arrhythmias, cardiomyopathies and congenital heart diseases.

Prof. Nagarur Gopinath who established the dept of Cardiothoracic surgery at the AIIMS in 1964, passed away on Sunday,3rd june, 2007 at Bangalore. He was 84.
He began open heart surgery at the AIIMS in 1964, and began a training program in CTVS, leading to the M.Ch degree in 1966.He has trained a large number of students including half the faculty at the AIIMS. His students are now heading many of the departments in the country.He received the padma Shri from the govt. of India, and the wockhardt lifetime achievement award in 2004,and the lifetime achievement award from the Indian Association of cardiovascular-Thoracic surgeons in 2000.
Following his retirement in 1982 he continued to serve the AIIMS as Emeritus professor and contributed many monographs and papers on preventive aspects of heart disease. He is survived by Mrs. Gopinath, one daughter and two sons. The cardiothoracic centre will certainly feel the void left behind by Prof.Gopinath which will be difficult to fill.
This web page is for the patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). This web page attempts to explain the cause of the disease, the risk factors, the effects of disease and possible treatment options. It tells about the surgery, preoperative preparation and postoperative care in hospital and at home. Lastly, an effort has been made to spread preventive awareness about the coronary artery disease. For better understanding, at the cost of technical perfection, language has been made as simple as possible.
This web page is for the patient who has a heart valve problem and who seeks treatment for the same. The web page describes in various chapters some of the fundamentals of blood circulation through the heart and the function of the valves and the effects of the disease. The web page also tells about the symptoms, tests that are used for diagnosis and after care. It tells about the surgery and postoperative care while the patient is in hospital. Finally it explains the aftercare when the patient is at home. For the purpose of better understanding, language has been made as simple as possible and efforts have been made to explain the facts in common language.

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences has several hostels for its undergraduate and postgraduate students, PhD scholars and resident doctors. Conveniently located, hostellers do not have to travel long distances after a day of hard work and studies. These hostels are an essential component of the life at this institution wherein students, staff and faculty reside in the same campus. The life in hostels enables students to spend ample time in the hospital, departments utilizing library and other facilities to ensure they develop academically and acquire the necessary skills that can be obtained only through experience. In addition the hostel life allows students to interact with their colleagues and peers, make friends, and develop into good human beings capable of independent judgment and coping with the day to day pressures of life. Some students may leave their homes for the first time and they can be reassured these hostels would eventually turn out to be a home away from home!
DIRECTIVES OF THE HONOURABLE SUPREME COURT ON THE MENACE OF RAGGING
In view of the increasing incidents of ragging in colleges and elsewhere that reached proportions unbecoming of a civilised society the Hon’ble Supreme court admitted and heard the SLP No (s) 24295 of 2006 University of Kerala Vs Council, Principals’, Colleges, Kerala & Ors (with SLP(C) No.24296-99/2004 & W.P. (Crl) No. 173/2006 and SLP(C) No.14356/2005).
Pursuant to an order of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India dated November 27, 2006, the Ministry of Human Resource Development has constituted a Committee under the Chairmanship of Shri R.K. Raghavan (former Director, CBI) to look into the issue of ragging and suggest means of prevention of ragging in educational institutions.
The Committee primarily examined the following broad aspects of ragging:
The Committee had carried out a very detailed study with the help of voluntary organizations including CURE (Coalition for Uprooting Ragging from Education) and SPACE (Society for Peoples Action Change and Enforcement) and collected voluminous public opinion on the various factors contributing for ragging. Noted psychologists and educationists assisted the committee. The National Informatics Centre at the Ministry of Human Resources hosted a guest book in their website. Nearly eleven press releases were made during this period of evaluation and committee visited several cities in the country. A subcommittee of the Medical Council of India was also constituted for this purpose. A questionnaire was prepared that elicited over 12500 responses. In short a wide cross-section of the society provided the necessary background information, data and suggestions on tackling ragging in the country for consideration by the esteemed committee.
Subsequently the committee submitted a detailed report with suitable recommendations and measures required to effectively curb the menace. The recommendations of the Committee were duly accepted and the following directives have been issued to all the educational institutions for necessary implementation by the Hon’ble Supreme Court on 16 May 2007.
The All India Institute of Medical Sciences requests all students, parents and guardians to go through these directives and co-operate in the implementation of the directives of the Honourable Supreme Court of India. It is hoped that this will signal an end to the menace of ragging. Strict action shall be taken in accordance with the directives in case any student is found to indulge in ragging.

एम्स की स्थापना 1956 में स्वास्थ्य देखभाल के सभी पहलुओं में उत्कृष्टता को बढ़ावा देने के लिए एक केंद्र के रूप में की गई थी।
जवाहर लाल नेहरू जी ने देश को वैज्ञानिक संस्कृति से ओत प्रोत करने का सपना देखा था और स्वतंत्रता के तुरंत बाद उन्होंने इसे प्राप्त करने के लिए एक विशाल डिजाइन तैयार की। आधुनिक भारत के मंदिरों में से एक, जिन्हें उनकी कंल्पना से बनाया गया, चिकित्सा विज्ञान का एक उत्कृष्टता केन्द्र था। नेहरु जी का सपना यह था कि दक्षिण पूर्वी एशिया में चिकित्सा चिकित्सा और अनुसंधान की गति बनाए रखने के लिए एक केन्द्र होना चाहिए और इसमें उन्होंने अपनी तत्कालीन स्वास्थ्य मंत्री राजकुमारी अमृत कौर का पूरा सहयोग पाया।
एक भारतीय लोक सेवक, सर जोसेफ भोर, की अध्यक्षता में 1946 के दौरान स्वास्थ्य सर्वेक्षण और विकास समिति द्वारा एक राष्ट्रीय चिकित्सा केन्द्र की स्थापना की पहले ही सिफारिश की गई थी, जो राष्ट्र की बढ़ती स्वास्थ्य देखभाल गतिविधियों को संभालने के लिए उच्च योग्यता प्राप्त जनशक्ति की जरूरत पूरी कर सकें। पंडित नेहरु और अमृत कौर के सपने तथा भोर समिति की सिफारिशों को मिलाकर एक प्रस्ताव बनाया गया जिसे न्यूज़ीलैंड की सरकार का समर्थन मिला। न्यूज़ीलैंड का उदारतापूर्वक दिया गया दान कोलोम्बो योजना के तहत आया जिससे अखिल भारतीय आयुर्विज्ञान संस्थान (एम्स) की आधारशिला 1952 में रखी गई। अंत में एम्स का सृजन 1956 में संसद के एक अधिनियम के माध्यम से एक स्वायत्त संस्थान के रूप में स्वास्थ्य देखभाल के सभी पक्षों में उत्कृष्टता को पोषण देने के केन्द्र के रूप में कार्य करने हेतु किया गया था।
अखिल भारतीय आयुर्विज्ञान संस्थान की स्थापना सभी शाखाओं में स्नातक और स्नातकोत्तर चिकित्सा शिक्षा में अध्यापन के पैटर्न विकसित करने के उद्देश्य से संसद के अधिनियम द्वारा राष्ट्रीय महत्व के एक संस्थान के रूप में की गई थी, ताकि भारत में चिकित्सा शिक्षा के उच्च मानक प्रदर्शित किए जा सकें, स्वास्थ्य गतिविधि की सभी महत्वपूर्ण शाखाओं में कार्मिकों के प्रशिक्षण हेतु उच्चतम स्तर की शैक्षिक सुविधाएं एक ही स्थान पर लाने और स्नातकोत्तर चिकित्सा शिक्षा में आत्मनिर्भरता पाई जा सके।
संस्थान में अध्यापन, अनुसंधान और रोगियों की देखभाल के लिए व्यापक सुविधाएं हैं। जैसा कि अधिनियम में बताया गया है, एम्स द्वारा स्नातक और स्नातकोत्तर दोनों ही स्तरों पर चिकित्सा तथा पैरामेडिकल पाठ्यक्रमों में अध्यापन कार्यक्रम चलाए जाते हैं और यह छात्रों को अपनी ही डिग्री देता है। यहां 42 विषयों में अध्यापन और अनुसंधान आयोजित किए जाते हैं। चिकित्सा अनुसंधान के क्षेत्र में एम्स अग्रणी है, जहां एक वर्ष में इसके संकाय और अनुसंधानकर्ताओं द्वारा 600 से अधिक अनुसंधान प्रकाशन प्रस्तुत किए जाते हैं। एम्स में एक नर्सिंग महाविद्यालय भी चलाया जाता है और यहां बी. एससी. (ऑन) नर्सिंग पोस्ट प्रमाण पत्र डिग्री के लिए छात्रों को प्रशिक्षण भी दिया जाता है।
चार सुपर स्पेशियलिटी केन्द्रों के साथ 25 क्लिनिकल विभाग व्यावहारिक रूप से पूर्व और पैराक्लिनिकल विभागों की सहायता से रोग की सभी परिस्थितियों का प्रबंधन करते हैं। जबकि जलने के मामलों, कुत्ते के काटने के मामलों और संक्रामक रोगों से पीडित रोगियों को एम्स अस्पताल में उपचार नहीं दिया जाता है। एम्स द्वारा हरियाणा के वल्लभ गढ़ में व्यापक ग्रामीण स्वास्थ्य देखभाल केन्द्र में 60 बिस्तरों वाले अस्पताल का भी प्रबंधन किया जा रहा है और यहां सामुदायिक उपचार के लिए केन्द्र के माध्यम से लगभग 2.5 लाख आबादी को स्वास्थ्य सुविधाएं दी जाती हैं।

एम्स का अनुसंधान केवल नियमित गतिविधि नहीं है बल्कि यह तीन उद्देश्यों के साथ एक मिशन है। कहीं अन्यत्र भी अनुसंधान का प्रयोजन अनुशासनिक गतिविधि द्वारा जिज्ञासा को शांत करना होता है और इस प्रकार नए ज्ञान का सृजन होता है। परन्तु एम्स में हम अपनी अनुसंधान भूमिका के प्रति सचेत हैं जो हम अध्यापन की गुणवत्ता को सुधारने में निभा सकते हैं। एक अध्यापक यदि अनुसंधान में संलग्न है तो उसके पास नवीनतम जानकारी होनी चाहिए और वह अपने छात्रों में पूछताछ की भावना और आजादी भी पैदा कर सकता है। अंत में एम्स का अनुसंधान हमारे राष्ट्रीय प्रयास के अलावा हमारे समाज में एक वैज्ञानिक सोच उत्पन्न करने के लिए है तथा हम अपने समाज से प्राधिकार और अंधविश्वास समाप्त करना चाहते हैं।
एम्स का अनुसंधान हमारे राष्ट्रीय प्रयास के अलावा हमारे समाज में एक वैज्ञानिक सोच उत्पन्न करने के लिए है तथा हम अपने समाज से प्राधिकार और अंधविश्वास समाप्त करना चाहते हैं।
एम्स को राष्ट्रीय और अंतरराष्ट्रीय एजेंसियों से विशाल अनुसंधान प्राप्त होते हैं, संस्थान अपनी ओर से मध्यम दर्जे के अनुसंधान अनुदान भी प्रदान करता है। ये अनुदान परियोजनाओं को जमा करने के बाद समितियों के जरिए उनकी छानबीन के बाद प्रदान किए जाते हैं और ये कनिष्ठ संकाय को अनुसंधान की प्रेरणा देने के प्राथमिक साधन है। इस प्रकार अन्य बातों के समान होने पर युवा वर्ग के आवेदनों को प्राथमिकता दी जाती है। अन्वेषक द्वारा कुछ प्रगति होने पर अन्य एजेंसियों से बड़े अनुदान पाने के लिए आवेदन कर सकता है।
एम्स में अनेक प्रकार के अनुसंधान किए जाते हैं। एक ओर हम तंत्रिका विज्ञान, आनुवंशिकी और हार्मोग्राफी अंत:क्रिया के कम्प्यूटर उद्दीपन पर परिष्कृत अनुसंधान करते हैं, दूसरी ओर हम राष्ट्रीय स्वास्थ्य समस्याओं की रोकथाम और इलाज पर क्लिनिकल तथा जनसांख्यिकी अध्ययन करते हैं। हम उन्नत तकनीकों को लागू करने का प्रयास करते हैं जैसे डीएनए पुनर्योगज प्रौद्योगिकी, प्रतिरक्षा विज्ञान और इलेक्ट्रॉन माइक्रोस्कोपी, जिससे हमारे देश के सामान्य रोगों जैसे कुष्ठ, मलेरिया, तपेदिक, डायबिटीज़, डायरिया, हिपेटाइटिस, फ्लोरोसिस और आयोडीन की कमी। हमारे पास अनेक प्रकार के स्वीकृत गर्भ निरोधकों पर केन्द्रित प्रजनन के लक्ष्य उन्मुख अनुसंधान के लिए अन्य अंतरराष्ट्रीय निधिकृत विशाल कार्यक्रम हैं। संस्थान से निकलने वाले वैज्ञानिक प्रकाशन की संख्या भी प्रति संकाय सदस्य प्रति वर्ष लगभग 2 है और इनमें से आधे से अधिक प्रकाशनों में वैज्ञानिक उद्धरण सूचकांक होते हैं। एम्स ने 1980-88 के बीच 8 वर्ष की अवधि में भारत के मेडिकल कॉलेज में पहला स्थान बनाए रखा (औसत + एसडी)। 237.5 +37.3 विज्ञान उद्धरण सूचकांक सूचीबद्ध प्रकाशन प्रति वर्ष (रेड्डी आदि नेच. मे. इंडिया 1991, 4 : 90-92)। इस 7 वर्ष की अवधि में 1987 में 94 के दौरान 1630 मेड लाइन सूचीबद्ध प्रकाशनों में भारत के चिकित्सा अनुसंधान संस्थानों में संलग्न संस्थानों में सर्वोच्च रहा (अरुणाचलम, करंट साइंस, 1997, 72 : 912-922)।
एम्स में अनुसंधान की गुणवत्ता और रेंज निम्नलिखित प्रबलन क्षेत्रों के चयन से परखी जा सकती है।
डायरिया रोगों का नियंत्रण
1980 के दशक में अस्पतालों के 40 प्रतिशत बिस्तर डायरिया से होने वाली कमी के मामलों से भरे होते थे। वर्ष 1997 में भारत के अनेक हिस्सों में प्रदर्शन के लिए भी ऐसे मामलों का पता लगाना कठिन हो गया। एम्स में किए जाने वाले मूलभूत, अनुप्रयुक्त और प्रचालन अनुसंधान ने इस रुपांतरण में एक महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई। हाल ही में हमने दो प्रकार के सुपर ओरल रीहाइड्रेशन घोल विकसित किए हैं जो एमिनो सांद्रता पर आधारित हैं।
हम अपने देश में सामान्य रोगों के अध्ययन के लिए पुनर्योगज डीएनए प्रौद्योगिकी, प्रतिरक्षा विज्ञान और इलेक्ट्रॉन माइक्रोस्कोपी जैसी उन्नत तकनीकों का उपयोग करने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं।
डब्ल्यूएचओ द्वारा इस वर्ष वैश्विक डायरिया रोग नियंत्रण कार्यक्रम में इस नए सूत्र को लाया जाएगा। एम्स में लगातार होने वाले इस रोग के इलाज के लिए एक विधि का विकास किया है, जिसे 1994 में वैश्विक डायरिया रोग नियंत्रण कार्यक्रम में उपयोग किया जाएगा। लगातार होने वाले डायरिया के 50 प्रतिशत मामलों में जिम्मेदार यह बैक्टीरिया एम्स में खोज लिया गया है और अनंतिम रूप से इसे एंटेरोएग्रीगेटिव ई. कोलाई नाम दियरा गया है। डायरिया रोग में जिंक की कमी पर अनुसंधान हेतु एम्स की भूमिका के लिए इसे टाइम पत्रिका में 1996 में अच्छी खबर के तौर पर प्रकाशित किया गया था।
एम्स में रोटा वायरस को डायरिया रोग के लिए एक प्रमुख कारण बताया गया था। अब हमने जैव प्रौद्योगिकी के सहयोग से रोटा वायरस का टीका विकसित किया गया है, जिसके लिए इस वर्ष पहले चरण के परीक्षण तैयार हैं।
एम्स द्वारा तपेदिक के निदान के लिए एक पीसीआर जांच का विकास किया गया है। यह जांच खास तौर पर एक्स्ट्रा पल्मोनरी तपेदिक में उपयोगी है, जो नमूना प्राप्त होने के 24-48 घण्टों के अंदर इसका निदान करती है, जबकि पारंपरिक जांचों में 6-8 सप्ताह का समय लगता है।
एम्स द्वारा इस घातक रोग के प्रति किए गए अनुसंधान के योगदान इस प्रकार हैं :
एक व्यवहार शरीर क्रिया विज्ञान अध्ययन
एम्स में आधुनिक डीएनए प्रौद्योगिकियों का उपयोग करते हुए अब भारत में इस महामारी के लिए जिम्मेदार परजीवी के विभेदों का अध्ययन करना संभव हो गया है।
एम्स द्वारा एचआईवी एंटीबॉडी का पता लगाने के लिए उच्च संवेदनशील और विशिष्ट एलाइजा प्रणाली का विकास स्वदेशी रूप से किया गया गया है। इसकी कीमत आयात किए गए जांच किट से लगभग आधी है और आयात किए गए किट की तुलना में इससे कई शुरूआती मामलों में रोग का पता लगाया जा सकता है।
एम्स द्वारा एचआईवी एंटीबॉडी का पता लगाने के लिए उच्च संवेदनशील और विशिष्ट एलाइजा प्रणाली का विकास स्वदेशी रूप से किया गया गया है। इसकी कीमत आयात किए गए जांच किट से लगभग आधी है और आयात किए गए किट की तुलना में इससे कई शुरूआती मामलों में रोग का पता लगाया जा सकता है। एम्स 1986 से एचआईवी / एड्स के लिए संदर्भ केन्द्रों में से एक और 1992 से राष्ट्रीय एचआईवी संदर्भ केन्द्र है।
एम्स में जनसांख्यिकी, क्लिनिकल और मूल भूत अनुसंधन से समस्या के परिमाण का आकलन किया गया है, जिससे स्वदेशी जांच किट का विकास और प्रत्याशी टीके तैयार किए गए हैं, हिपेटाइटिस सी वायरस के लिए रक्तदाताओं की छानबीन हेतु एक नैदानिक आकलन प्रणाली भी तैयार की गई है।
प्लेग के लिए नैदानिक जांच
एम्स दुनिया का पहला स्थान है जहां फॉर्मेलिन में स्थिर किए गए शव पर पीसीआर के उपयोग से 1994 की महामारी के दौरान प्लेग का पता लगाने और इसकी पुष्टि की विधि ज्ञात की गई थी। इसे क्लोन किया गया, क्रम ज्ञात किया गया और एफ1 पर अभिव्यक्त किया गया है तथा यर्सिनिया पेस्टिस के पीएलए जीन पर, जो प्रतिरक्षी अभिक्रियात्मक हैं। इनका उपयोग प्लेग के सिरोलॉजिकल परीक्षण हेतु किया जा रहा है।
एम्स द्वारा वृद्धि और विकास पर आयोडीन की कमी के प्रभावों को परिभाषित किया गया है, खास तौर पर मानव भ्रूण में मस्तिष्क विकास के लिए थाइरॉक्सिन की भूमिका। एम्स में प्रयोगशाला और क्षेत्र अध्ययनों से 1986 में भारत सरकार के सार्वभौमिक नमक आयोडीनीकरण कार्यक्रम का मार्ग प्रशस्त हुआ। आयोडीन की कमी को नियंत्रित करने के लिए हमारे योगदान भूटान, नेपाल, बंगलादेश, मालदीव, इंडोनेशिया, थाइलैंड और मध्य पूर्व के अनेक देशों तथा कई अफ्रीकी देशों तक विस्तारित किए गए हैं
नमक में आयोडीन की कमी के आकलन हेतु टाइट्रेशन विधि। यह सरल किन्तु महत्वपूर्ण जांच के सार्वभौमीकरण की सफलता सुनिश्चित करती है
एम्स में प्रयोगशाला और क्षेत्र अध्ययनों से 1986 में भारत सरकार के सार्वभौमिक नमक आयोडीनीकरण कार्यक्रम का मार्ग प्रशस्त हुआ।
अधिकांश अनुसंधान पिछले 25 वर्षों में एंटी ह्यूमन कोरियोनिक गोनेडोट्रॉपिन (एचसीजी) टीके के विकास के प्रति किया गया जो आरंभ में एम्स में किए गए अनुसंधान के आधार पर आगे बढ़ाया गया।
प्रतिरक्षी कोशिका विज्ञान की दृष्टि से अभिरंजित एंडोमेट्रियम के मोर्फोमेट्रिक विश्लेषण और प्राइमेट इम्प्लांटेशन जीव विज्ञान प्रयोगशाला में फोटो माइक्रोग्राफी
गर्भावस्था में भ्रूण के रोपण की एंडोक्राइन और पेराक्राइन प्रक्रियाओं पर मूलभूत अनुसंधान तथा पोस्ट कोइटल, पोस्ट ओव्यूलेटरी गर्भ निरोध। हमारी प्राइमेट इम्प्लांटेशन जीव विज्ञान प्रयोगशाला में एक गैर अमेरिकी केन्द्र में गर्भ निरोध अनुसंधान और विकास कार्यक्रम को मान्यता दी है जो एंड्रू मेलन फाउंडेशन द्वारा चलाया गया है और यह रॉक फेलर फाउंडेशन द्वारा दीर्घ अवधि आधार पर समर्थित दुनिया के ऐसे 13 केन्द्रों में से भी एक है।
एम्स द्वारा एंटार्कर्टिका की खोज पर 1990 से भारतीय प्रयासों में भागीदारी की गई है। खोज अभियान पर जाने वाले सदस्यों को स्वास्थ्य देखभाल प्रदान करने के अलावा एम्स मानव जीव की क्रोनो बायोलॉजी, तनाव के प्रति शरीर क्रियात्मक प्रतिक्रिया और एंटार्कर्टिका के प्रतिकूल परिवेश में इसका प्रभाव तथा एंटार्कर्टिका की कठोर और अकेलेपन की परिस्थितियों में इनके निष्पादन पर अनुसंधान आयोजित किए गए हैं।
इस पुस्तकालय को संस्थान के प्रथम निदेशक के नाम पर दिया गया है, जहां 61423 पुस्तकें, 53547 पत्रिकाएं और 14008 रिपोर्ट जैव चिकित्सा विज्ञान के क्षेत्र में संग्रह की गई हैं। इस पुस्तकालय में हर वर्ष 490 पत्रिकाएं और 80 समाचार पत्रिकाएं आती हैं। यह पुस्तकाय सप्ताह के सातों दिन सुबह 8 बजे से दोपहर 2 बजे तक पाठकों के लिए खुला होता है। पुस्तकालय में कम्प्यूटर सुविधा, माइक्रो फील्म, पुस्तकालय रीडर और रीडर प्रिंटर सुविधाएं हैं। यहां की समृद्ध और दक्ष सामग्री हमारे अनुसंधान की गतिविधियों को नई ऊर्जा प्रदान करती हैं।
बी. बी. दीक्षित पुस्तकालय में खास तौर पर व्यस्त क्षण

यहां के गलियारे रोगियों से भरे होते हैं, जिनमें से अधिकांश लोग इतने गरीब हैं कि वे कहीं और अच्छा इलाज नहीं करा सकते। यह यहां बड़ी उम्मीदे लेकर आते हैं क्योंकि एम्स ने अपनी ऐसी प्रतिष्ठा बनाई है। वर्तमान में एम्स केवल एक अस्पताल नहीं है बल्कि यह सुविधाओं का समूह है। यहां 1500 से अधिक क्षेत्रफल में फैला हुआ मुख्य अस्पताल, डॉ. राजेन्द्र प्रसाद नेत्र रोग विज्ञान केन्द्र, हृदवक्ष केन्द्र, तंत्रिका विज्ञान केन्द्र, इंस्टीट्यूट रोटरी सेंटर अस्पताल और नशा मुक्ति केन्द्र। सुविधाओं के इस संकुल में प्रतिवर्ष लगभग 1.5 मिलियन बाह्य रोगी और 80,000 आंतरिक रोगी आते हैं। एम्स में प्रति वर्ष की जाने वाली शल्य चिकित्सा की संख्या 100,000 से अधिक है।
जबकि एम्स की शक्ति अंकों में नहीं बल्कि एक ही स्थान पर सर्वोत्तम चिकित्सा और शल्य क्रिया विशेषज्ञों, आधुनिकतम उपकरणों का उपलब्ध होना और नैदानिक या सार्वजनिक स्वास्थ्य चुनौतियों को पूरा करने के लिए हमारी क्षमता बढ़ाने में भी है। चाहे यह ऑटोएनालाइजर या लीनियर एक्सिलरेटर, चुम्बकीय अनुनाद इमेजिंग या गामा नाइफ, एम्स के पास से सभी हैं। जैसे ही कोई नया उपकरण आता है, संस्थान में कोई न कोई इसे लेने का प्रयास करता है और अपने सभी साधन जुटाकर इसे प्राप्त कर लेता है।
एम्स द्वारा जिन क्षेत्रों में विशेषज्ञता प्राप्त की गई है वे हैं कार्डियक कैथेटराइजेशन, हृदय वॉल्व सर्जरी, पोर्टो-केवल सर्जरी, नवजात सर्जरी, जोड़ प्रतिस्थापन, कॉकलियर इम्प्लांट और बहु अंग प्रतिरोपण (कार्निया, गुर्दे, अस्थि मज्जा, हृदय और यकृत)। परिष्कृत चिकित्सा और सर्जिकल देखभाल में हमारे परिणाम दुनिया में सर्वोत्तम हैं। इस प्रयास का सबसे अधिक संतुष्टिकारक पक्ष यह है कि ये आधुनिकतम प्रौद्योगिकियां वास्तव में गरीबों के लिए इस्तेमाल की जा रही हैं।
एम्स में रोगी देखभाल की भूमिका केवल हमारे अस्पताल तक सीमित नहीं है। एम्स द्वारा ऐसे डॉक्टरों और सर्जनों को प्रशिक्षण दिया जाता है जो देश भर में फैले हुए हैं तथा विदेश में भी कार्यरत हैं। दशकों से तंत्रिका वैज्ञानिकों, तंत्रिका शल्य चिकित्सकों, हृदय शल्य चिकित्सकों, बाल रोग शल्य चिकित्सकों और गैस्ट्रोएंटेरोलॉजिस्ट की बड़ी संख्या एम्स में प्रशिक्षण आती है, क्योंकि हमारे संस्थान में पहली बार इन सुपर स्पेशियलिटीज़ को आरंभ किया गया। अब हमारे पास एंडोक्राइनोलॉजी और मेडिकल ओंकोलॉजी में डीएम पाठ्यक्रम हैं। राष्ट्र ने एम्स पर बहुत अधिक निवेश किया है और एम्स के पास उन लोगों की सर्वोत्तम संभव स्वास्थ्य देखभाल प्रदान करने के पर्याप्त साधन हैं, चाहे उनकी भुगतान क्षमता कुछ भी हो। कुछ लोगों ने अपनी वचनबद्धता पूरी की होती।

On the 7th of September 1902, was born at Amravti in a family distinguished lawyers Bhalachandra Babaji Dikshit , Who was destined to play an important role in building up infrastructure in the medical arena in independent India(1) He deviated from the family tradition, and chose to become a doctor. He graduated from Grant Medical College, Bombay , in1925 .His nearly forty-year career had two almost exactly equal phases .During the first twenty years, he distinguished himself as a scientist ,and during the next twenty he revealed his remarkable human qualities as a loving teacher and ideal administrator. B.B. Dikshit, the scientist: 1926-1946
Dr Dikshit’s research career began in 1926, when he joined the Department of Pharmacology at the School of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene in Calcutta so that he could participate in the fascinating work being done there by Prof. R.N Chopra .Using what must appear today as simple equipment , he worked out the mechanism underlying the cardiovascular effects of anti malarial alkaloids, the efficacy of pseudo ephedrine present in the Indian variety of ephedra plants, and the reliability of narcotine as a substitute for morphine. He did all his within 3 years , and also earned a Diploma in Public Health in 1927.
In 1930m, at the young age of 28, Dr Dikshit was appointed Professor of Pharmacology at Medical College, Vishakhapatnam. There he evaluated one of the first anti-leprosy derivatives of chaulmoogra oil, and also studied the Efficacy and safety of pertain as a spinal anaesthetic. His work at Vishakapatnam was highly appreciated but he was relieved of his post unceremoniously in 1931 because as his termination letter clearly stated, an eligible pharmacologist belonging to the Madras Presidency had become available. The British apparently had no compunction in taking steps which would discourage feelings of national integration
In 1931,Dr.Dikshit left for Edinburgh with plans for obtaining membership of the Royal College of Physicians. He joined Prof. A.J Clark in the Department of Pharmacology. Prof. Clark was so impressed by Dr. Dikshit’s abilities that he offered him a teaching assistantship in Physiology-then a very unusual achievement for an Indian. Encouraged by this gesture, Dr. Diskhit obtained not only his M.R.C.P in 1933 but also his Ph.D. a year later. Dr. Dikshit’s work in Edinburgh was centered on acetylcholine as a central neurotransmitter: a topic not obsolete even today. He tackled it with simple techniques such as comparing the effects of stimulation of the central end of sectioned vagus nerve with those of injection of acetylcholine into lateral ventricles of the brain ,using agents such as atropine and physostigmine , and studying the effects of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) obtained from animals whose cut vagi also studied the acetylcholine concentration in different parts of the brain, and interestingly found higher concentrations cortex. His work on acetylcholine is held in very high esteem, and is now a part of a classical literature in this area. At Edinburgh he also studied the relationship of hypothalamus to cardiac irregularities the effect of caffeine on this relationship and the effect of sodium barbitone on the cardiac irregularities. This work is relevant to the advice given to patients susceptible to cardiac arrhythmias regarding restriction of their intake of tea, coffee and cola drinks. Dr. Dikshit’s work done at Edinburgh was published in the Journal of Physiology (London) in the years 1933 and 1934. He returned to India in 1934.Soon after his return, he got married to Hirabai, a graduate and marathi poetess of distinction . She proved to be an able and understanding partner, stood by him through all the vicissitudes of life, and indirectly contributed to his achievements. After a short period of unemployment, he was offered a post at the Haffkine Institute in Bombay through a recommendation made by Dr. C.G. Pandit, who later become the first Indian Director of the Indian Research Fund Association (the precursor of ICMR)
At Haffkine Institute, Dr. Dikshit continued his work on acetylcholine, made a brief digression to immunology of malaria, did extensive studies on drugs used in malaria and plague , and also established a snake farm so that venoms and antivenoms could be studied .Since he was at Haffkine during World War II, he also got involved in work specially relevant to the armed forces. This work requires speed , originality and ingenuity because the problems are often queer, and no textbook formula holds. Dr. Dikshit proved himself equal to the task.
B.B. Dikshit, the teacher and administrator:1946-1964
In 1946, Dr. Dikshit was appointed Principal, and Professor of Physiology, at B.J Medical College ,Poona. The college ,which had earlier been training licentiates in medicine , was to be upgraded for training medical Graduates , and the task was entrusted to Dr. Dikshit. This assignment brought to the fore his abilities as a teacher and administrator, and his humane qualities .One responsibility handled well often brings another. In 1951 he was appointed Surgeon-General to the Government Of Bombay. His sphere widened to health care and medical education throughout the Bombay Presidency. But all for the greatest challenge yet to come-a challenge which none else in India could have faced the way he did. In 1956, the government established in New Delhi a center of excellence in medicine, which could serve as a model for the country and also supply research-oriented teachers for the rapidly growing number of medical colleges. The center was christened the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), and Dr. B.B Dikshit was invited to be its first Director. His appointment remains one of the best things that have happened to AIIMS since its inception.
At AIIMS, which was created as an autonomous institute outside the purview of the Medical Council Of India, Dr. Dikshit had the freedom to implement a curriculum which took into account the then latest advances in medical education and was at the same time relevant to national needs. Dr Dikshit’s inspiring leadership made some of the best Indian medical scientists working in different parts of the world give up attractive offers abroad to come and join the exciting experiment in innovative institution building going on at AIIMS. Establishments of Institutions like AIIMS was a part of nation building, a part of the vision Nehru had of an India that would rediscover and recover its greatness. The faculty, students, technicians , gardeners and sweepers , all worked as one family under the parental eye of Dr Dikshit to make AIIMS a name to reckon with in the medical arena.
As an administrator, Dr Dikshit was very clear headed . He refused to get entangled in extraneous or irrelevant factors. He would get to the core of the problem and given an un ambiguous, fair and just decision. His comments on files were characteristically brief-still remembered fondly as either ‘Yes, BBD’ or ‘No, BBD’. Moreover, he was one hundred percent genuine, absolutely without any pretensions. He would tell a person clearly on his face what he thought of an issue, and write exactly that on file. This is in clear contrast to a commonly held but erroneous view that administration is some sort of trickery or manipulation. Dr Dikshit had an intense regard for truth and justice. HE was violently allergic to falsehood, but entirely above prejudice. That made him very level headed. Even when he discovered something deplorable, he would size up the culprit, but within five minutes all will be forgotten. He would look at every issue, every file, afresh, on its own merits, absolutely without prejudice. He refused to let an event of yesterday affect his decision today. Even those whose demands he denied, respected and admired his writ because his decisions were base on principles, not on personal considerations.
Although Dr Dikshit was exceptional as an administrator, what ahs made him immortal is the love and respect with which he is remembered by many generations of students-at B.J Medical College and at AIIMS. He had enormous theoretical capabilities, admirable practical skills, and a highly developed talent for teaching. He also had a life-long love for sports, which gave him something in common with the youth . He was a university-level hockey player , and in later life took to tennis and badminton. But to attribute his popularity among students to how well he taught or played would do him gross injustice. He had an extremely genuine, intense and selfless paternal attitude to students, characterized by totally unconditional love, which did not expect anything I return. The result was that students were as sure of him as children below ten may or may not like everything about their parents , but one children below ten are of their parents. Children below ten may or may not like everything about their parents , but one thing they are totally sure about is that parents love them, have only their goods at heart , and will never ever deliberately do them any harm. Students felt exactly the same about Dr. Dikshit . Dr. C. G Pandit who got Dr Dikshit job at Haffkine Institute, and also recommended his name for the appointment at AIIMS, once confided that he was jealous of Dr. Dikshit for only one precious thing: he had been able to get from the students the type of love which Dr. Dikshit had received. Not just Dr. Pandit , hardly any teacher gets it because students are vary fair and choosy in bestowing their love on teachers.
It would be reasonable to ask what it was that made for him very natural a behaviour which most of us find very difficult. The answer comes form Prof. N.K. Bhide, his student at B.J Medical College in 1947 and later with him as a young faculty member at AIIMS: “Dr Dikshit had some deeply spiritual qualities. “ Only spirituality the ability and tendency to see a common spirit uniting us all-can fill a person with universal and selfless love of the kind Dr Dikshit had. It was this vision of oneness that made him obey and reward to a newly appointed guard who pointed to his cigarette when he was entering the library (a non-smoking area). He respected the guard’s authority with responsibility and detachment because in either case he looked at authority as a sacred duty entrusted by god rather than something to be relished as a power to subdue others. It was again made him deeply contented man. After he became the Director of AIIMS, he wanted nothing form anyone –the government, his friends, or his students. That is what made him fearless ,true and impartial . That is what made him refuse many invitations: he did not go abroad even once as Director of AIIMS. He preferred to be physically karmabhoomi so that he could give his maximum to the job carve out for him by destiny. Dr Dikshit epitomized the life-affirming brand of spirituality preached by the Gita:
He who is in Yoga, the pure soul, the master of his self who has conquered the senses, whose self becomes the self of all existences, even though he does works, he is not involved in them.
The end came exactly as it should for such a deeply spiritual man. He had a reasonably advance warning that the end was near, but remained physically mobile and mentally agile till the last day. His wife was hesitating to make a visit to her parental home in view of his unreliable coronaries but he encouraged her to take it easy and make the visit. She made a two-week visit, and he held on till she returned. The day after she returned, he said the final good bye to us all sharp, clear and quick, like all his decisions. A painless, prompt finale, and yet not so sudden end as to leave behind a trail of regrets and remorse. The hundredth’s birth anniversary of Dr B.B.Dikshit is an appropriate occasion for IJPP to salute this colossus among the architects of post-independence Indian renaissance.
I am grateful to Prof. Mohan B.Dikshit for providing invaluable material and to Prof. N.K Bhide for giving me an insight into the man that was Prof. B.B Dikshit

On the 7th of September 1902, was born at Amravti in a family distinguished lawyers Bhalachandra Babaji Dikshit , Who was destined to play an important role in building up infrastructure in the medical arena in independent India(1) He deviated from the family tradition, and chose to become a doctor. He graduated from Grant Medical College, Bombay , in1925 .His nearly forty-year career had two almost exactly equal phases .During the first twenty years, he distinguished himself as a scientist ,and during the next twenty he revealed his remarkable human qualities as a loving teacher and ideal administrator. B.B. Dikshit, the scientist: 1926-1946
Dr Dikshit’s research career began in 1926, when he joined the Department of Pharmacology at the School of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene in Calcutta so that he could participate in the fascinating work being done there by Prof. R.N Chopra .Using what must appear today as simple equipment , he worked out the mechanism underlying the cardiovascular effects of anti malarial alkaloids, the efficacy of pseudo ephedrine present in the Indian variety of ephedra plants, and the reliability of narcotine as a substitute for morphine. He did all his within 3 years , and also earned a Diploma in Public Health in 1927.
In 1930m, at the young age of 28, Dr Dikshit was appointed Professor of Pharmacology at Medical College, Vishakhapatnam. There he evaluated one of the first anti-leprosy derivatives of chaulmoogra oil, and also studied the Efficacy and safety of pertain as a spinal anaesthetic. His work at Vishakapatnam was highly appreciated but he was relieved of his post unceremoniously in 1931 because as his termination letter clearly stated, an eligible pharmacologist belonging to the Madras Presidency had become available. The British apparently had no compunction in taking steps which would discourage feelings of national integration
In 1931,Dr.Dikshit left for Edinburgh with plans for obtaining membership of the Royal College of Physicians. He joined Prof. A.J Clark in the Department of Pharmacology. Prof. Clark was so impressed by Dr. Dikshit’s abilities that he offered him a teaching assistantship in Physiology-then a very unusual achievement for an Indian. Encouraged by this gesture, Dr. Diskhit obtained not only his M.R.C.P in 1933 but also his Ph.D. a year later. Dr. Dikshit’s work in Edinburgh was centered on acetylcholine as a central neurotransmitter: a topic not obsolete even today. He tackled it with simple techniques such as comparing the effects of stimulation of the central end of sectioned vagus nerve with those of injection of acetylcholine into lateral ventricles of the brain ,using agents such as atropine and physostigmine , and studying the effects of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) obtained from animals whose cut vagi also studied the acetylcholine concentration in different parts of the brain, and interestingly found higher concentrations cortex. His work on acetylcholine is held in very high esteem, and is now a part of a classical literature in this area. At Edinburgh he also studied the relationship of hypothalamus to cardiac irregularities the effect of caffeine on this relationship and the effect of sodium barbitone on the cardiac irregularities. This work is relevant to the advice given to patients susceptible to cardiac arrhythmias regarding restriction of their intake of tea, coffee and cola drinks. Dr. Dikshit’s work done at Edinburgh was published in the Journal of Physiology (London) in the years 1933 and 1934. He returned to India in 1934.Soon after his return, he got married to Hirabai, a graduate and marathi poetess of distinction . She proved to be an able and understanding partner, stood by him through all the vicissitudes of life, and indirectly contributed to his achievements. After a short period of unemployment, he was offered a post at the Haffkine Institute in Bombay through a recommendation made by Dr. C.G. Pandit, who later become the first Indian Director of the Indian Research Fund Association (the precursor of ICMR)
At Haffkine Institute, Dr. Dikshit continued his work on acetylcholine, made a brief digression to immunology of malaria, did extensive studies on drugs used in malaria and plague , and also established a snake farm so that venoms and antivenoms could be studied .Since he was at Haffkine during World War II, he also got involved in work specially relevant to the armed forces. This work requires speed , originality and ingenuity because the problems are often queer, and no textbook formula holds. Dr. Dikshit proved himself equal to the task.
B.B. Dikshit, the teacher and administrator:1946-1964
In 1946, Dr. Dikshit was appointed Principal, and Professor of Physiology, at B.J Medical College ,Poona. The college ,which had earlier been training licentiates in medicine , was to be upgraded for training medical Graduates , and the task was entrusted to Dr. Dikshit. This assignment brought to the fore his abilities as a teacher and administrator, and his humane qualities .One responsibility handled well often brings another. In 1951 he was appointed Surgeon-General to the Government Of Bombay. His sphere widened to health care and medical education throughout the Bombay Presidency. But all for the greatest challenge yet to come-a challenge which none else in India could have faced the way he did. In 1956, the government established in New Delhi a center of excellence in medicine, which could serve as a model for the country and also supply research-oriented teachers for the rapidly growing number of medical colleges. The center was christened the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), and Dr. B.B Dikshit was invited to be its first Director. His appointment remains one of the best things that have happened to AIIMS since its inception.
At AIIMS, which was created as an autonomous institute outside the purview of the Medical Council Of India, Dr. Dikshit had the freedom to implement a curriculum which took into account the then latest advances in medical education and was at the same time relevant to national needs. Dr Dikshit’s inspiring leadership made some of the best Indian medical scientists working in different parts of the world give up attractive offers abroad to come and join the exciting experiment in innovative institution building going on at AIIMS. Establishments of Institutions like AIIMS was a part of nation building, a part of the vision Nehru had of an India that would rediscover and recover its greatness. The faculty, students, technicians , gardeners and sweepers , all worked as one family under the parental eye of Dr Dikshit to make AIIMS a name to reckon with in the medical arena.
As an administrator, Dr Dikshit was very clear headed . He refused to get entangled in extraneous or irrelevant factors. He would get to the core of the problem and given an un ambiguous, fair and just decision. His comments on files were characteristically brief-still remembered fondly as either ‘Yes, BBD’ or ‘No, BBD’. Moreover, he was one hundred percent genuine, absolutely without any pretensions. He would tell a person clearly on his face what he thought of an issue, and write exactly that on file. This is in clear contrast to a commonly held but erroneous view that administration is some sort of trickery or manipulation. Dr Dikshit had an intense regard for truth and justice. HE was violently allergic to falsehood, but entirely above prejudice. That made him very level headed. Even when he discovered something deplorable, he would size up the culprit, but within five minutes all will be forgotten. He would look at every issue, every file, afresh, on its own merits, absolutely without prejudice. He refused to let an event of yesterday affect his decision today. Even those whose demands he denied, respected and admired his writ because his decisions were base on principles, not on personal considerations.
Although Dr Dikshit was exceptional as an administrator, what ahs made him immortal is the love and respect with which he is remembered by many generations of students-at B.J Medical College and at AIIMS. He had enormous theoretical capabilities, admirable practical skills, and a highly developed talent for teaching. He also had a life-long love for sports, which gave him something in common with the youth . He was a university-level hockey player , and in later life took to tennis and badminton. But to attribute his popularity among students to how well he taught or played would do him gross injustice. He had an extremely genuine, intense and selfless paternal attitude to students, characterized by totally unconditional love, which did not expect anything I return. The result was that students were as sure of him as children below ten may or may not like everything about their parents , but one children below ten are of their parents. Children below ten may or may not like everything about their parents , but one thing they are totally sure about is that parents love them, have only their goods at heart , and will never ever deliberately do them any harm. Students felt exactly the same about Dr. Dikshit . Dr. C. G Pandit who got Dr Dikshit job at Haffkine Institute, and also recommended his name for the appointment at AIIMS, once confided that he was jealous of Dr. Dikshit for only one precious thing: he had been able to get from the students the type of love which Dr. Dikshit had received. Not just Dr. Pandit , hardly any teacher gets it because students are vary fair and choosy in bestowing their love on teachers.
It would be reasonable to ask what it was that made for him very natural a behaviour which most of us find very difficult. The answer comes form Prof. N.K. Bhide, his student at B.J Medical College in 1947 and later with him as a young faculty member at AIIMS: “Dr Dikshit had some deeply spiritual qualities. “ Only spirituality the ability and tendency to see a common spirit uniting us all-can fill a person with universal and selfless love of the kind Dr Dikshit had. It was this vision of oneness that made him obey and reward to a newly appointed guard who pointed to his cigarette when he was entering the library (a non-smoking area). He respected the guard’s authority with responsibility and detachment because in either case he looked at authority as a sacred duty entrusted by god rather than something to be relished as a power to subdue others. It was again made him deeply contented man. After he became the Director of AIIMS, he wanted nothing form anyone –the government, his friends, or his students. That is what made him fearless ,true and impartial . That is what made him refuse many invitations: he did not go abroad even once as Director of AIIMS. He preferred to be physically karmabhoomi so that he could give his maximum to the job carve out for him by destiny. Dr Dikshit epitomized the life-affirming brand of spirituality preached by the Gita:
He who is in Yoga, the pure soul, the master of his self who has conquered the senses, whose self becomes the self of all existences, even though he does works, he is not involved in them.
The end came exactly as it should for such a deeply spiritual man. He had a reasonably advance warning that the end was near, but remained physically mobile and mentally agile till the last day. His wife was hesitating to make a visit to her parental home in view of his unreliable coronaries but he encouraged her to take it easy and make the visit. She made a two-week visit, and he held on till she returned. The day after she returned, he said the final good bye to us all sharp, clear and quick, like all his decisions. A painless, prompt finale, and yet not so sudden end as to leave behind a trail of regrets and remorse. The hundredth’s birth anniversary of Dr B.B.Dikshit is an appropriate occasion for IJPP to salute this colossus among the architects of post-independence Indian renaissance.
I am grateful to Prof. Mohan B.Dikshit for providing invaluable material and to Prof. N.K Bhide for giving me an insight into the man that was Prof. B.B Dikshit

The hi-tech facilities and nursing care at AIIMS have contributed a lot to the survival of these quadruplets
A patient undergoing investigation at the state-of-the-art Magnetic Resonance Imaging facility of AIIMS.
AIIMS strives hard to make world class clinical care available to millions of underprivileged citizens of India and neighboring countries. While its magnificent buildings and hi-tech facilities may create a superficial image of elitism, a visit to AIIMS is enough to dispel any such illusion
Its corridors are thronged by patients, most of them too poor to afford quality treatment elsewhere. They come here with high hopes because of the reputation which AIIMS as built up. AIIMS is at present, not a single hospital but a conglomerate of facilities .It has over 1500 spread over the main hospital, Dr. Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic sciences, Cardiothoracic Centre, Neurosciences Centre, Institute Rotary Centre Hospital and De-addiction Centre. This complex of facilities caters to about 1.5 million outpatients and 80,000 inpatients every year .The number of surgical operations performed at AIIMS last year was over 100,000.
However, the strength of AIIMS lies not in numbers, but in availability under one roof of the best team of medical and surgical experts, state-of-the-art equipment, and our capacity to rise to the occasion to meet diagnostic or public health challenges.Be it the autoanalyser or the linear accelerator,magnetic resonance imaging or the gamma knife, AIIMS has them all. Once something new arrives on the scene,someone, somewhere in the Institute takes the initiative and musters the energy and drive required to get it
Among the areas pioneered by AIIMS are cardiac catheterization,heart valve surgery, porto-caval surgery, neonatal surgery,jointreplacement, cochlear implant and multi organ transplants (cornea, kidney,bone marrow,heart and liver).Our results in sophisticated medical and surgical care are among the best in the world. The most satisfying aspect of this endeavour is that these cutting- edge modalities are being actually used for is that poor.
The role of AIIMS in patient care is not confined to our own hospital.AIIMS has trained physicians and surgeons who have fanned out across the country and abroad.For decades a large proportion of neurologists, neurosurgeons, cardiac surgeons, paediatric surgeons and gastroenterologists were from AIIMS,simply because we were the first to start courses in these superspecialities.New we have D M courses also in endocrinology and medical oncology.The nation has invested heavily in AIIMS from its doubt that AIIMS meager resources in an attempt to provide the best possible health care to its people irrespective of their paying capacity. Few would has fulfilled its commitment.

The comprehensive rural health services project (CRHSP) was at established, ballabgarh, about 35 km from AIIMS, to serve as a model for delivery of health care to the villages of india. It consist of a subdivisional hospitals and network of a primary health centres, subcentres and health workers. Its unique feature is a strong element of participation of the community in its own care. The project has demonstrated their major improvement in health can be achieved with modest resources.

Most of the health indices set as a goals for the country for the year 2000 have already been achieved in the ballabgarh block. The infant morality rate in CRHSP is 54.6 per 1000 live births per year against the national average is 74.There are no maternal deaths in this population against a national figure of 200-400 per 1,00,000 live births per year. Immunization coverage of children and pregnant women is over 95% as is the coverage for vitamin A, ORT use during diarrhea and early appropriate treatment of pneumonia in children.
Extension activities of AIIMS include a model community-based urban health project and a De-addiction Centres.
It is science Alone that can solve the problems of hunger and poverty, insanitation and illiteracy, of superstition and deadening custom and tradition, of vast resourses running to waste, of a rich country inhabited by starving people.

At AIIMS research is not just a routine activity but rather a mission with three objectives. As anywhere else, the primary purpose of research is to gratify curiosity by disciplined activity, thereby leading to creation of new knowledge. But at AIIMS, we are also conscious of the role research can play in improving the quality of teaching. A teacher engaged in research is up to date with recent information, and can also inculcate a sprit of enquiry and freedom of thought into his/her students. Finally, research at AIIMS is apart of our national endeavor to cultivate a scientific temper and to eliminate from our society the way of authority and superstition.
Research at AIIMS is a part of our national endaeavour to cultivate a scientific temper and to eliminate from our society the sway of authority and superstition .
While AIIMS attracts sizeable grants from national and international agencies, the Institution itself also offers modest research grants. The grants are sanction after the projects submitted have been screened by a Committee and are primary meant to initiate the junior faculty into research. Thus, other things being equal, preference is given to younger application. After an investigator has made some progress, he or she can apply for bigger grants from other agencies.
There is a wide variety of research performed at AIIMS. On the one hand we do sophisticated investigations in the neurosciences, in genetics and on computer simulation of hormone-receptor interaction. On the other hand ,we undertake clinical and epidemiological studies on the prevention and treatment of national health problems. We are trying to apply advanced techniques such as DNA recombinant technology, immunology and electron microscopy to study the common diseases in our country such as leprosy, malaria , tuberculosis, diabetes, diarrhoea, hepatitis, fluorosis and iodine deficiency. We have large internationally funded programmes on goals-oriented research in reproduction aimed at widening the variety of acceptable contraceptives. The scientific publications emanating from the Institute have been quite steady at about 2 publications per faculty member per year. about half of these publications are in journals covered by the Science Citation Index. During the 8 year period from 1980-88, AIIMS topped the list of medical colleges in India with (mean ± SD) 237.5 ± 37.3 Science Citation index-listed publications per year (Reddy et al. Natl Med J India 1991; 4: 90-92).During the 7 year period from 1987-94, AIIMS topped the list of institutions engaged in medical research in India with 1630 Medline-listed publications (Arunachalam. Current Science 1997; 72:912-922).
The quality and range of research at AIIMS may be judged from the following highly selected assortment of some thrust areas.
Control of Diarrheal disease
In 1980s,40% of pediatric beds in hospitals were occupied by cases of diarrheal dehydration. In 1997 it is difficult to find such a case even for demonstration in many parts of India. Basic, applied and operational research done at AIIMS has played a pivotal role in achieving this transformation. Recently we have developed two types of super oral dehydration solutions based on amino concentration.
We are trying to apply advanced techniques such as DNA recombinant technology,immunology and electron microscopy to study the common diseases in our country.
WHO will formally introduce this new formulation in the Global Diarrheal Disease Control Programme this year. AIIMS has developed an algorithm for the treatment of persistent diarrhea, which the WHO introduced in the Global Diarrheal Disease Control Programme in 1994. The bacteriumresponsible for 50% of the cases of persistent diarrhea has been discovered at AIIMS and provisionally named Enteroaggregative E.coli.AIIMS research on the role of zinc deficiency in diarrheal disease was cited by the "Time Magazine" in 1996 as good news for child health.
Rotavirus was demonstrated at AIIMS to be the major cause of diarrheal disease. Now we have developed a rotavirus vaccine in collaboration with the Department of Biotechnology, which is ready for phase-1 trials to be started this year.
AIIMS has developed a PCR test for the diagnosis of tuberculosis. The test, which is specially useful for extrapulmonary tuberculosis, gives the diagnosis within 24-48 hours of receiving the sample in contrast with conventional tests which take 6-8 weeks.Leprosy
Contributions of AIIMS towards research on this dreaded disease include:
A behavioural physiology study in progress.
By using modern DNA technologies at AIIMS, it has now become possible for the first time in India to study the strains of the parasite responsible for an epidemic.
AIIMS has developed indigenously a highly sensitive and specific ELISA system for detecting HIV antibodies. It costs less than half the imported test kits, and has detected many early cases which the imported kits could not.
AIIMS has developed indigenously a highly sensitive and specific ELISA system for detecting HIV antibodies.It costs less than half the imported test kits, and has detected many early cases which the imported kits could not. AIIMS has been one of the Reference Centres for HIV/AIDS since 1986, and the National HIV Reference Centre since 1992.
Epidemiological, clinical and basic research at AIIMS has assessed the magnitude of the problem, led to the development of an indigenous diagnostic test and a candidate vaccine, and a diagnostic assay system for screening blood donors for hepatitis C virus.
Diagnostic Test For Plague
AIIMS was the first place in the world to use PCR on formaline fixed autopsy material to detect and confirm plague during the1994 outbreak. We have cloned, sequenced and expressed the f1 and pla genes of Yersinia pestis which are immunoreactive. These are being used for developing a serological test for plague.
AIIMS has defined the effect of iodine deficiency on growth and development, specially the role of thyroxine in brain development in human fetuses. Laboratory and field studies done at AIIMS paved the way for the 'Universal Salt Iodization Programme of the Government of India in 1986.Our Contributions to control of iodine deficiency extend to Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Maldives, Indonesia, Thailand and several countries of Africa and the middle east.
Titration method for estimation of iodine in salt.
This simple is very important for ensuring the success of the universal salt
Much of the research that has been carried out in the last 25 years towards the development of an anti-human chronic gonadotropin (hCG) vaccine began with research initially carried out at AIIMS.
Morphometric analysis of immuno cytochemically stained endometrium and photomicrography inprogres in the Primate Implantation Biology Laboratory.
Basic Research on the endocrine and paracrine mechanisms in embryo implantation of pregnancy and the development of post-coital and post-ovulatory contraceptives.Our Primate Implantation Biology Laboratory has been recognized as a non-US Centre for Contraceptive Research and Development Programme of the Andrew Mellon Foundation and is also one of the 13 such Centres in the world supported on a long-term basis by the Rockefeller Foundation.
AIIMS has been participating in India's efforts at exploration of Antarctica since 1990.Besides providing health care to members of the expedition, AIIMS has also been using the opportunity to conduct research on chronobiology of the human organism, physiological responses to the stress of the hostile antarctic environment, and performance under the harsh and lonely conditions prevailing in antarctica.
The library, named after the first Director of the Institute, is a treasure house having 61423 books, 53547 journals and 14008 reports in the field of Biomedical Sciences. The library receives 490 journals and 80 newsletters every year. The library is open to the readers from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m seven days a week.

AIIMS was created in 1956 to serve as a nucleus for nurturing excellence in all aspects of health care
Creating a country imbued with a scientific culture was Jawaharlal Nehru's dream, and immediately after independence he prepared a grand design to achieve it. Among the temples of modern India which he designed, was a centre of excellence in the medical sciences. Nehru's dream was that such a centre would set the pace for medical education and research in Southeast Asia , and in this he had the wholehearted support of his Health Minister, Rajkumari Amrit Kaur.
The health survey and development committee ,chaired by Sir Joseph Bhore, an Indian Civil Servant ,had in 1946 already recommended the establishment of a national medical centre which would concentrate on meeting the need for highly qualified manpower to look after the nation's expanding health care activities . The dreams of Nehru and Amrit Kaur and the recommendations of the Bhore Committee converged to create a proposal which found favor with the government of New Zealand. A generous grant from New Zealand under the Colombo Plan made it possible to lay the foundation stone of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in 1952.The AIIMS was finally created in 1956,as an autonomous institution through an Act of Parliament ,to serve as a nucleus for nurturing excellence in all aspect of health care.
All-India Institute of Medical Sciences was established as an institution of national importance by an Act of Parliament with the objects to develop patterns of teaching in Undergraduate and Post-graduate Medical Education in all its branches so as to demonstrate a high standard of Medical Education in India; to bring together in one place educational facilities of the highest order for the training of personnel in all important branches of health activity; and to attain self-sufficiency in Post-graduate Medical Education.
The Institute has comprehensive facilities for teaching, research and patient-care. As provided in the Act, AIIMS conducts teaching programs in medical and para-medical courses both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and awards its own degrees. Teaching and research are conducted in 42 disciplines. In the field of medical research AIIMS is the lead, having more than 600 research publications by its faculty and researchers in a year. AIIMS also runs a College of Nursing and trains students for B.Sc.(Hons.) Nursing post-certificate degrees.
Twenty-five clinical departments including four super specialty centers manage practically all types of disease conditions with support from pre- and Para-clinical departments. However, burn cases, dog-bite cases and patients suffering from infectious diseases are not entertained in the AIIMS Hospital. AIIMS also manages a 60-beded hospital in the Comprehensive Rural Health Centre at Ballabgarh in Haryana and provides health cover to about 2.5 lakh population through the Centre for Community Medicine.
