SARS-CoV-2 infections before, during, and after the Omicron wave: a 2-year Indian community cohort study.

Background: We measured the incidence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections and re-infections in an adult community-based cohort in southern India.

Methods: We conducted a 2-year follow-up on 1229 participants enrolled between May and October 2021. Participants provided vaccination histories, weekly saliva samples, and blood samples at 0, 6, 12, and 24 months.

Factor XIII polymorphism and risk of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage in a south Indian population.

Background: The rupture of a brain aneurysm causes bleeding in the subarachnoid space and is known as aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH). In our study, we evaluated the association of factor XIII polymorphism and the risk of Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) in South Indian population.

Methods: The study was performed in 200 subjects with aSAH and 205 healthy control subjects.

Apolipoprotein E polymorphism and the risk of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in a South Indian population.

Background: The rupture of a brain aneurysm causes bleeding in the subarachnoid space. This is known as aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). We evaluated the association of apolipoprotein E () polymorphism and the risk of aSAH in a South Indian population.

Overexpression and lack of copy number variation in the BMI-1 gene in human glioma.

Malignant gliomas are neoplasms of the brain that are associated with a poor prognosis. The B-cell-specific Moloney murine leukemia virus integration site 1 (BMI-1) gene is one of the major cancer stem cell factors responsible for treatment failure in glioma. In the present study, the DNA-RNA-protein alterations in the BMI-1 gene were assessed in 50 glioma samples.
