Perceptions of mental health services among the children who are in conflict with the law in Jammu and Kashmir.

Due to the Jammu and Kashmir conflict, many teenagers are involved in disputes with the law. The conflict made generations suffer for decades. Such children made the mobs; being involved in life-threatening situations and the risk they confront develop psychiatric disorders.

Assessment of key regulatory genes and identification of possible drug targets for Leprosy (Hansen's disease) using network-based approach.

Leprosy is a major health concern and continues to be a source of fear and stigma among people worldwide. Despite remarkable achievements in the treatment, understanding of pathogenesis and transmission, epidemiology of leprosy still remains inadequate. The prolonged incubation period, slow rates of occurrence in those exposed and deceptive clinical presentation pose challenges to develop reliable strategies to stop transmission.

Identification of pathogenic genes associated with CKD: An integrated bioinformatics approach.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as a persistent abnormality in the structure and function of kidneys and leads to high morbidity and mortality in individuals across the world. Globally, approximately 8%-16% of the population is affected by CKD. Proper screening, staging, diagnosis, and the appropriate management of CKD by primary care clinicians are essential in preventing the adverse outcomes associated with CKD worldwide.

Identification and Validation of Pathogenic Genes in Sepsis and Associated Diseases by Integrated Bioinformatics Approach.

Sepsis is a clinical syndrome with high mortality and morbidity rates. In sepsis, the abrupt release of cytokines by the innate immune system may cause multiorgan failure, leading to septic shock and associated complications. In the presence of a number of systemic disorders, such as sepsis, infections, diabetes, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) type 5 is defined by concomitant cardiac and renal dysfunctions Thus, our study suggests that certain mRNAs and unexplored pathways may pave a way to unravel critical therapeutic targets in three debilitating and interrelated illnesses, namely, sepsis, SLE, and CRS.

Identification of key regulators in Sarcoidosis through multidimensional systems biological approach.

Sarcoidosis is a multi-organ disorder where immunology, genetic and environmental factors play a key role in causing Sarcoidosis, but its molecular mechanism remains unclear. Identification of its genetics profiling that regulates the Sarcoidosis network will be one of the main challenges to understand its aetiology. We have identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by analyzing the gene expression profiling of Sarcoidosis and compared it with healthy control.

Network-Based Approach and IVI Methodologies, a Combined Data Investigation Identified Probable Key Genes in Cardiovascular Disease and Chronic Kidney Disease.

In fact, the risk of dying from CVD is significant when compared to the risk of developing end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Moreover, patients with severe CKD are often excluded from randomized controlled trials, making evidence-based therapy of comorbidities like CVD complicated. Thus, the goal of this study was to use an integrated bioinformatics approach to not only uncover Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs), their associated functions, and pathways but also give a glimpse of how these two conditions are related at the molecular level.

Identification of key regulators in parathyroid adenoma using an integrative gene network analysis.

Parathyroid adenoma (PA) is marked by a certain benign outgrowth in the surface of parathyroid glands. The transcriptome analysis of parathyroid adenomas can provide a deep insight into actively expressed genes and transcripts. Hence, we analyzed and compared the gene expression profiles of parathyroid adenomas and healthy parathyroid gland tissues from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database.

Deciphering key genes in cardio-renal syndrome using network analysis.

Cardio-renal syndrome (CRS) is a rapidly recognized clinical entity which refers to the inextricably connection between heart and renal impairment, whereby abnormality to one organ directly promotes deterioration of the other one. Biological markers help to gain insight into the pathological processes for early diagnosis with higher accuracy of CRS using known clinical findings. Therefore, it is of interest to identify target genes in associated pathways implicated linked to CRS.

In Silico Integrative Approach Revealed Key MicroRNAs and Associated Target Genes in Cardiorenal Syndrome.

Cardiorenal syndromes constellate primary dysfunction of either heart or kidney whereby one organ dysfunction leads to the dysfunction of another. The role of several microRNAs (miRNAs) has been implicated in number of diseases, including hypertension, heart failure, and kidney diseases. Wide range of miRNAs has been identified as ideal candidate biomarkers due to their stable expression.

Human gene expression profiling identifies key therapeutic targets in tuberculosis infection: A systematic network meta-analysis.

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the deadliest diseases since ancient times and is still a global health problem. So, there is a need to develop new approaches for early detection of TB and understand the host-pathogen relationship. In the present study, we have analyzed microarray data sets and compared the transcriptome profiling of the healthy individual with latent infection (LTBI) and active TB (TB) patients, and identified the differentially expressed genes (DEGs).

Identification and Validation of Potential miRNAs, as Biomarkers for Sepsis and Associated Lung Injury: A Network-Based Approach.

Sepsis is a dysregulated immune response disease affecting millions worldwide. Delayed diagnosis, poor prognosis, and disease heterogeneity make its treatment ineffective. miRNAs are imposingly involved in personalized medicine such as therapeutics, due to their high sensitivity and accuracy.

Identification and Classification of Differentially Expressed Genes and Network Meta-Analysis Reveals Potential Molecular Signatures Associated With Tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of deadly transmissible disease that causes death worldwide; however, only 10% of people infected with develop disease, indicating that host genetic factors may play key role in determining susceptibility to TB disease. In this way, the analysis of gene expression profiling of TB infected individuals can give us a snapshot of actively expressed genes and transcripts under various conditions. In the present study, we have analyzed microarray data set and compared the gene expression profiles of patients with different datasets of healthy control, latent infection, and active TB.

Assessment of the key regulatory genes and their Interologs for Turner Syndrome employing network approach.

Turner Syndrome (TS) is a condition where several genes are affected but the molecular mechanism remains unknown. Identifying the genes that regulate the TS network is one of the main challenges in understanding its aetiology. Here, we studied the regulatory network from manually curated genes reported in the literature and identified essential proteins involved in TS.
