Research efforts to explore the etiological factors in
Schizophrenia have identified the influence of season. Winter
season appears to be associated with incidence of schizophrenia, it
has been suggested that there is an excess of winter births among
schizophrenic patients. There is need to explore the underlying
mechanisms for excessive winter births among schizophrenic
patients. A survey was carried out to find out the phenomenon of
seaonality and its impact on schizophrenic incidence and it was
found that majority of schizophrenic patients were born in winter
season, thus suggesting a role of seasonality as a cuasal or
precipitating factor in schizophrenia.
Quality if Life (QoL) after solid organ transplant is investigated
to explore the possible medical and psychosocial factors
influencing health outcomes. The present study aimed to investigate
the psychosocial predictors of satisfaction with QoL among renal
transplant recipients (RTRs) after a successful kidney transplant

of psychosocial factors as predictors of QoL after kidney
transplant and evaluate recipients' satisfaction with four major
domains of life, including; physical health functioning,
psychological and spiritual well-being, social, economic and family
life. These predictors include family & social support,
financial status, medical facilities, and attitude of doctors,
faith, will power, education, awareness / insight, marital status,
personality type, compliance, acceptance, medication side-effects,
and belief system. The aim is to deveop awareness about causes,
symptoms and complications of kidney disease and transplantation
focusing on psychosocial issues that can influence health outcomes
