The paper aims to establish the relationship between leader member exchange (LMX) relationship and work role performance through the dynamic process of employee engagement. The study outlines why and how leadership is important for employee engagement and effective work role performance. Adopting a survey based research design, a sample of 198 Indian working managers at different levels including various sectors has supported our hypotheses that employee engagement mediates the relations between LMX and work role performance. It provides empirical insights about how employee engagement process influences the LMX and work role performance relationships. The results also suggest that high quality relationship of employees with their leaders is positively related to employee engagement and their work role performance.

Patients with syndromic craniosynostosis are usually associated with the complexity of the malformation complex. We describe here detailed oculo-motility disorder and a remarkable finding of hypoplastic bilateral media recti on imaging and its intraoperative absence in patients with phenotypic features resembling Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome (SGS). SGS is a rare congenital disorder with craniosynostosis affecting multiple systems including mentation and having a considerable overlap of its phenotypic features with Marfan syndrome. Large A-pattern exotropia found in these patients may be related to the craniofacial features and their bearing on extraocular muscle development and function. In this paper, we aimed to sensitise ophthalmologists and strabismologists concerning the necessity to recognise syndromic associations of patients with craniosynostosis presenting with a large squint, be aware of the intraoperative surprises and consider the challenges in its management.

Macrophytes are large aquatic plants belonging to taxonomically diverse groups. They are adapted morphologically, anatomically and physiologically to grow in aquatic habitats of fresh water, brackish water or sea water. This review is based on the rigorous study of literature and papers based on work done on wetlands and macrophytes. Surveys show that macrophytes form an important component in the structure and functioning of an aquatic ecosystem. They play a vital role in the sustenance of life by providing habitat, food, fodder, fiber, green manure, medicines and other useful products. They act as a bioindicator, influence water quality, perform nutrient cycling and reduce shore erosion. The work concluded that knowledge of floral diversity in any aquatic habitat is essential as each and every plant has its role in food chain and they must be documented and conserved before they become extinct without being acknowledged. Researches must be undertaken to scientifically study and extract the important constituents from unknown flora by identifying them with the help of indigenous people so that it can be further flourished for the welfare of mankind. The aim of this paper is to review the diverse roles of macrophytes and to focus on the conservation of aquatic resources and the biodiversity within them, as they not only provide various ecosystem services but are important for the livelihood and ecological balance.

Background: There is an established link between the change in levels of Estrogen and its affect on mental health in middle age females. Objective: To see the correlation between serum Estrogen levels and cognitive functions in the study groups. Methods: This was a hospital based crosssectional study involving a total of 90 females who were divided into three groups of 30 females each, based on their age and menstrual history.These groups were premenopausal(31-35 years ) ,early perimenopausal( 36-40 years,),late perimenopausal (41- 45 years).The level of serum Estrogen was estimated in all the study subjects and their cognitive assessment was done using Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale(MoCA). One way ANOVA was used to asses the signicance. Results: There is a correlation between cognitive decline and serum estrogen levels in late perimenopausal age group as compared to early perimenopausal and premenopausal age group. Conclusion: There is a signicant relationship between estrogen levels and cognitive functions in middle aged females.
