Association of anemia with poor housing quality among older Indian adults: Multilevel modeling analysis of nationally representative cross-sectional study in India.

Introduction: Anemia is an important public health disorder. There is a significant chunk of India's population residing in poor housing quality with inadequate sanitation and hygiene, which might lead to higher anemia prevalence. The objective was to determine the association between anemia with poor housing quality among the older Indian adult population (≥45 years) as per residence.

Trends in dengue virus positivity & serotyping in Rajasthan.

Background & objectives Dengue virus causes frequent outbreaks and epidemics with high morbidity and mortality. It is important to monitor the trends of the dengue virus and its serotypes. We carried out the present work to study the prevalence of the dengue virus and its serotypes in clinically suspected cases of dengue in Rajasthan.

A Diagnostic Study Using STARD Platform on Liquid-Based Cytology in Cervical Smear and Its Positivity Rate among Females with Abnormal Vaginal Conditions Attending a Tertiary Care Center.

Background: Liquid-based cytology (LBC) is a newer method of preparing cervical cell samples. This technique involves collecting cells in a liquid fixative and preparing and evaluating them.

Aim: This study aims to investigate cervical smears prepared using the Ezi-Prep LBC method and analyze the positivity rate for cervical cancer and assess the diagnostic accuracy of LBC in detecting cervical abnormalities among females with abnormal vaginal conditions attending a tertiary care center.

Effect of daytime light intensity on daily behaviours and concurrent hypothalamic gene expressions in migratory redheaded bunting.

Animals use photic cues to time their daily and seasonal activity. The role of photoperiod has been much investigated in seasonal responses, but the role of light intensity is less understood in passerine finches. We investigated if and how daytime light intensity influences photoinduced migratory phenologies and hypothalamic mRNA expressions in a Palearctic-Indian migratory finch, redheaded bunting (Emberiza bruniceps).
