BharatSim: An agent-based modelling framework for India.

BharatSim is an open-source agent-based modelling framework for the Indian population. It can simulate populations at multiple scales, from small communities to states. BharatSim uses a synthetic population created by applying statistical methods and machine learning algorithms to survey data from multiple sources, including the Census of India, the India Human Development Survey, the National Sample Survey, and the Gridded Population of the World.

Direct Imaging of Charge/Dopant Distribution in PANI/PSS Thin Films Using Advanced Frequency Modulation Electrostatic Force Microscopy.

This paper presents a detailed study that maps the surface charges and dopant distribution on the electropolymerized thin film of polyaniline-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PANI/PSS). The focus is on two distinct states of PANI/PSS: the fully doped emeraldine salt (ES/PSS) and the dedoped emeraldine base (EB/PSS). This investigation utilizes advanced frequency modulation electrostatic force microscopy (FM-EFM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM).

Primary hyperparathyroidism in pregnancy leading to hypercalcaemic crisis and uraemic encephalopathy.

Primary hyperparathyroidism is rare during pregnancy. Recognition may be challenging as symptoms overlap with those of other common disorders of pregnancy. Furthermore, physiological changes of pregnancy affecting calcium homoeostasis mean awareness of the condition and careful interpretation of results in the light of pregnancy are essential for diagnosis.

Severe cutaneous adverse reactions due to isoniazid in a HIV positive patient.

Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reaction (SCAR) represents the spectrum of adverse drug reactions from erythema multiforme, Stevens - Johnson syndrome (SJS) to Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN). A 55 year old lady presented in a toxic state with peeling of skin, blisters on the body of seven days duration following medications taken for fever and pulmonary tuberculosis. When referred to our institution, she was diagnosed as TEN.
