Article Synopsis
  • - JE (Japanese Encephalitis) is a serious mosquito-borne viral infection that has a high fatality rate and can lead to severe neurological issues in survivors, with no known cures available.
  • - The JE virus genome is relatively small (10.98 kb) and includes two coding regions and 15 peptides, with genomic analysis being conducted using 29 sequences from different countries and host animals to study its evolution.
  • - The study found that a specific genome sequence from Taiwan had very few genetic variations compared to sequences from India, suggesting overall genetic similarity among JE virus strains.

Midgut volvulus can result in gangrene and loss of large segments of intestine. After correction of volvulus the viability of intestine may improve and if given sufficient time a large portion of intestine may be saved. A planned second look laparotomy in babies with volvulus and doubtful gut viability can be helpful in saving large bowel segment.

Amoebiasis, caused by Entamoeba histolytica , has a worldwide distribution and is of public health significance in many developing countries. It has a fecal-oral transmission cycle and is most prevalent in developing countries in regions where substandard sanitary conditions exist due to poverty. Little is known about the epidemiology of E.

Availability of software delineation of the lumbar spine region from infant whole-body (IWB) dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scan offers an opportunity to gain additional information at the lumbar spine without a separate scan, although the validity of this technique has never been tested. Lumbar spine measurements derived from IWB scans using software-delineated first to fourth lumbar vertebrae, and from specific infant spine (IS) scans, were determined in 111 infants using two pencil-beam densitometers. Intraoperator repeatability determined by reanalysis of 10 pairs of IWB and IS scans from each densitometer.
