Say goodbye to anxiety, OCD, and alarming thoughts with this compassionate guide for new moms as you welcome your baby with a warm hello. Motherhood is one of the most difficult and demanding jobs to exist. It has led many women to physical exhaustion, mental fatigue, emotional rage, and ultimately, chronic burnout. The expectation to be everything to everyone and be everywhere all at once requires mothers to give and give and give, until there's nothing left to give. Yet, despite the challenges that naturally come with mom life, new or seasoned mothers are rarely prepared for the endless worries, spiral of anxiety, or frightening intrusive thoughts that disrupt this critical bonding period with your loving baby. Add perinatal mental health conditions like postpartum depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), or psychosis to the mix that is even less talked about, and you have the perfect storm for maternal unwellness. Hello Baby, Goodbye Intrusive Thoughts offers evidence-based cognitive behavioral (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP) strategies to stop the spiral of anxiety and alarming intrusive thoughts, so you can spend less time "in your head" and more time connecting with your child. Jenny Yip, PsyD, not only understands and treats anxiety and OCD, she has battled her own postpartum OCD with the birth of twin boys.

E‑mail: anila.koneru@gmail.com Background: Dental records, ingerprint, and DNA comparisons are probably the most common techniques used for a person’s identiication, allowing fast and secure identiication processes. However, sometimes it is necessary to apply different and less known techniques such as lip prints. The potential of lip prints to determine sex has been well exhibited and documented. However, very few studies have been conducted using lip prints for population identiication. Objective: To determine the predominant lip print patterns in males and females in relation to Kerala and Manipuri population and also to compare the lip print patterns between these populations. Materials and Methods: The sample comprised of 60 subjects, which included 30 each from Kerala and Manipuri. Lipstick was applied evenly, and the lip print was obtained by dabbing a strip of cellophane. The classiication scheme proposed by Tsuchihashi was used to classify the lip print patterns and the data were statistically analyzed using the z‑test for proport J Ayub Med Coll Abbottabad 2012;24(3-4) ORIGINAL ARTICLE SERUM INHIBIN B AS A DIAGNOSTIC MARKER OF MALE INFERTILITY Syed Mohsin Manzoor, Abdus Sattar, Rizwan Hashim, Farooq Ahmad Khan, Muhammad Younas, Asif Ali, Muhammad Dilawar, Amir Ijaz Department of Chemical Pathology and Endocrinology, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Rawalpindi Background: Infertility affects about 15% of all couples in the world. Approximately 40% of all infertility cases could be attributed entirely to male factors. Serum inhibin B has emerged as a sensitive marker of male fertility. Analysis of serum inhibin B reflects the relationship between inhibin B, Sertoli cell function and spermatogenesis. Methods: This validation study was conducted to calculate the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of serum inhibin B in diagnosis of male infertility, using semen analysis as the gold standard. One hundred and sixty men were included in the study, they reported for semen analysis for evaluation of male infertility. Sperm count was done per standard procedure. Serum inhibin B level was determined by ELISA. Results: Serum inhibin B level 80 ρg/ml was regarded as a normal response. The serum inhibin B test had 75% sensitivity, 93.1% specificity, 80.5% PPV and 90.7% NPV. Conclusion: Serum inhibin B has a positive correlation with sperm counts and could be used for evaluation of male infertility as a non-invasive predictor of spermatogenesis. The sensitivity, specificity and PPV are appropriate for clinical decision making and to avoid unnecessary testicular biopsies.
