A Comprehensive Comparison of Clinical Presentation and Outcomes of Kidney Transplant Recipients with COVID-19 during Wave 1 versus Wave 2 at a Tertiary Care Center, India.

Data comparing the clinical spectrum of COVID-19 in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) during the first and second waves of the pandemic in India is limited. Our single-center retrospective study compared the clinical profile, mortality, and associated risk factors in KTRs with COVID-19 during the 1st wave (1 February 2020 to 31 January 2021) and the second wave (1 March-31 August 2021). 156 KTRs with PCR confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection treated at a tertiary care hospital in New Delhi during the 1st and the second waves were analyzed.

Differential responses of cultivars following mungbean yellow mosaic India virus infection.

commonly known as French bean is a vital leguminous crop worldwide and India stood 1st rank in dry bean and 4th rank in green bean production worldwide (FAOSTAT 2017). However, this production is severely affected by Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) infection. Hence it is very important to identify MYMIV tolerant cultivars.

Assessment of Validity and Reliability of IMNCI Algorithm in Comparison to Provisional Diagnosis of Senior Pediatricians in a Tertiary Hospital of Kolkata.

Background: Integrated management of childhood illness (IMNCI) is already operational in many states of India, but there are only limited studies in Indian scenario comparing its validity and reliability with the decisions of pediatricians. Aims and.

Objectives: To assess the validity and reliability of the IMNCI algorithm with provisional diagnosis of senior pediatricians for each IMNCI classifications.

Mass Measles Vaccination Campaign in Aila Cyclone-Affected Areas of West Bengal, India: An In-depth Analysis and Experiences.

Disaster-affected populations are highly vulnerable to outbreaks of measles. Therefore, a mass vaccination against measles was conducted in Aila cyclone-affected blocks of West Bengal, India in July 2009. The objectives of the present report were to conduct an in depth analysis of the campaign, and to discuss the major challenges.

A Comparative Study of the Management Decisions by IMNCI Algorithm and by Pediatricians of a Teaching Hospital for the Children Between 2 Months to 5 Years.

Background: Integrated management of neonatal and childhood illness (IMNCI) is already operational in many states of India, but there are very few studies in Indian scenario comparing its validity and reliability with the pediatricians' decisions.

Objectives: 1) To compare the IMNCI decision with the decision of pediatricians; 2) to assess the significance of multiple presenting symptoms in the IMNCI algorithm.

Materials And Methods: The study was conducted among the sick children between 2 months to 5 years presented in pediatric department from January to March 2009.

Study comparing the management decisions by IMNCI algorithm and pediatricians in a teaching hospital for the young infants between 0 to 2 months.

Integrated management of neonatal and childhood illness (IMNCI) was already operational in many states of India, but there were very few studies in Indian scenario comparing its validity and reliability with the decisions of pediatricians. The general objective of the study is to compare the IMNCI decisions with the decisions of pediatricians and the specific objectives are to assess the agreement between IMNCI decisions and the decisions of pediatricians, to assess the under diagnosis and over diagnosis in IMNCI algorithm in comparison to the decisions of pediatricians and to assess the significance of multiple presenting symptoms in IMNCI algorithm. The study was conducted among the sick young infants presenting in pediatric department from January to March 2009.

Nail-patella syndrome--a preliminary study for genetic linkage with ABO blood group.

Linkage means a very close association between two adjacent genes, so much so that no crossing-over occurs between them and they are always transmitted together to the next generation, provided there is no mutation. The linkage between nail-patella gene and ABO blood group gene, located on the 9th chromosome, shows the same. This can be understood from the pedigree analysis of an affected family, which is the first step in studying the molecular pathology of the diseased gene.

Validity of mid arm circumference to detect protein energy malnutrition among 8-11 months old infants in a rural medical college of West Bengal.

This institution-based cross-sectional observational validation study was conducted in the immunisation clinic of North Bengal Medical College and Hospital, Sushrutanagar. The objective was to identify the validity characteristics of mid arm circumference to detect protein energy malnutrition among 8-11 months infants and to find out a suitable cut-off value if any. Study variables were age, sex, body weight and mid arm circumference.

Septic abortions: a descriptive study in a teaching hospital at North Bengal, Darjeeling.
