Fusion of transfer learning with nature-inspired dandelion algorithm for autism spectrum disorder detection and classification using facial features.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurologic disorder considered to cause discrepancies in physical activities, social skills, and cognition. There is no specific medicine for treating this disorder; early intervention is critical to improving brain function. Additionally, the lack of a clinical test for detecting ASD makes diagnosis challenging.

Revitalising traditional Indian games: inclusive game adaptations for children with cerebral palsy.

Background: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) present unique challenges to physical activity due to various factors. Despite the benefits of inclusive approaches and adapted physical education, low- and middle-income countries face specific barriers including environmental, equipment, personal, policy, social and professional barriers. Traditional Indian games, with their cultural significance and potential therapeutic benefits, offer a promising avenue for inclusive adaptations.

Vitamin B12 Status in Rural Adolescent School Girls in Mysuru, India: A Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study.

Almost 56% of Indian adolescent girls aged 15-19 years suffer from anemia. Adolescent age is a period of many significant physiological changes that increase nutritional demand, and they remain at risk for nutritional deficiencies. Our aim is to assess the prevalence of Vitamin B12 deficiency among school-going adolescent girls aged 13-16 years of rural Mysore.

Acute Kidney Injury as a Rare Complication of Acute Hepatitis E in a Child; A Case Report.

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is a significant public health problem, which infects 20 million individuals every year. The clinical presentation of acute HEV infection is similar to hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection, and few affected children may progress to develop acute liver failure. Extrahepatic manifestations involving other systems have been reported with acute and chronic HEV genotype 3 infections both in adults and children.

A Comparative Analysis of Serum Interleukin-6 Levels in Children with Febrile Seizures and Febrile Controls.

 Febrile seizures (FSs) are the common presentations of seizures in childhood. Activation of cytokine network plays a significant role in the genesis of FSs. Interleukin (IL)-6 is often considered as key cytokine in the generation of FSs.

Listing of Indian Folk Games for Potential Therapeutic Benefits in Children with Neurodevelopmental Disability.

India has a diverse cultural heritage, with a wealth of indigenous folk games that are culturally ingrained. Due to the ease of acquisition, low costs, and widespread acceptability, this form of games can be incorporated to facilitate and improve physical fitness among children with neurodevelopmental disabilities. Hence this study focuses on the analysis of the therapeutic benefits of traditional Indian folk games.

Significant action of Tridax procumbens L. leaf extract on reducing the TNF-α and COX-2 gene expressions in induced inflammation site in Swiss albino mice.

The leaves of traditionally used herbal plant Tridax procumbens L. contain lots of phytochemicals having potency to reduce inflammation. In this study, the ethanol extract of the leaves of Tridax procumbens L.

Etiology of community acquired pneumonia among children in India with special reference to atypical pathogens.

Objectives: The aim is to identify the etiology of community acquired pneumonia in children with special reference to atypical bacteria and viruses.

Materials And Methods: A total of 94 pneumonia children were enrolled in the study. Sixty-seven did not have an etiological diagnosis by conventional culture.

Modeling the complexity of acoustic emission during intermittent plastic deformation: Power laws and multifractal spectra.

Scale-invariant power-law distributions for acoustic emission signals are ubiquitous in several plastically deforming materials. However, power-law distributions for acoustic emission energies are reported in distinctly different plastically deforming situations such as hcp and fcc single and polycrystalline samples exhibiting smooth stress-strain curves and in dilute metallic alloys exhibiting discontinuous flow. This is surprising since the underlying dislocation mechanisms in these two types of deformations are very different.

A Prospective Study of Homocysteine and its relation to Body Mass Index and Lipid Profile in School Children.

Objective: To study the serum Homocysteine levels in children and its relation with body mass index (BMI), lipid profile and plasma glucose.

Methods: 138 children (age 5-15 y) were enrolled and categorized into normal, overweight and obese group. Blood homocysteine, lipid profile and plasma glucose were estimated.

Central memory CD4+ T cells are preferential targets of double infection by HIV-1.

Background: Template switching between two distinct HIV-1 RNA genomes during reverse transcription gives rise to recombinant viruses that greatly expand the genetic diversity of HIV-1 and have adverse implications for drug resistance, immune escape, and vaccine design. Virions with two distinct genomes are produced exclusively from cells infected with two or more viruses, or 'doubly infected' cells. Previous studies have revealed higher than expected frequencies of doubly infected cells compared to frequencies based on chance alone, suggesting non-random enhancement of double infection.

Hepatitis A in children- clinical course, complications and laboratory profile.

Objective: To study the course and complications of hepatitis A in children.

Methods: Seventy eight children diagnosed as acute viral hepatitis A by IgM antiHAV were prospectively studied for involvement of other systems and complications.

Results: The mean age of children was 7.
