Advanced deep transfer learning techniques for efficient detection of cotton plant diseases.

Introduction: Cotton, being a crucial cash crop globally, faces significant challenges due to multiple diseases that adversely affect its quality and yield. To identify such diseases is very important for the implementation of effective management strategies for sustainable agriculture. Image recognition plays an important role for the timely and accurate identification of diseases in cotton plants as it allows farmers to implement effective interventions and optimize resource allocation.

Comparative evaluation of rapid plasma reagin and ELISA with Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay for the detection of syphilis in blood donors: a single center experience.

Introduction: The prime responsibility of blood transfusion services in India is to provide safe blood. The donated blood is tested for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), malaria and syphilis. In India, the screening of donated blood for syphilis is performed by rapid plasma reagin (RPR) or venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL), whereas the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends screening of syphilis in blood donors by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Hemolysis during therapeutic plasma exchange: A rare phenomena.

Hemolysis is an uncommon complication in patients undergoing therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) using cell separator machine based on continuous centrifugation method. However, it is frequently encountered in patients undergoing TPE using a membrane filtration technique. We report an interesting case where hemolysis was noted during TPE using a cell separator machine.

Role of therapeutic plasma exchange in acute humoral rejection patients undergoing live-related renal transplantation: A single-center experience.

Background And Aim: Renal transplantation (RT) is the most successful and ideal renal replacement therapy for end-stage renal disease patients. Renal allograft rejection has always been one of the major barriers in successful RT. Our aim was to report the role of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) in acute humoral rejection (AHR) patients who underwent live-related RT (LRRT) and their renal allograft outcome at our center.
