Association of Acute Kidney Injury with Ammonia Poisoning: A Case Report.

Ammonia may cause poisoning due to inhalation or ingestion. Renal involvement in ammonia poisoning has been reported only once. A 30-year-old male working in an ice factory was accidentally exposed to liquid ammonia from a leaking hose, following which he had burns over his face and neck and severe abdominal pain.

Sensor-based precision nutrient and irrigation management enhances the physiological performance, water productivity, and yield of soybean under system of crop intensification.

Sensor-based decision tools provide a quick assessment of nutritional and physiological health status of crop, thereby enhancing the crop productivity. Therefore, a 2-year field study was undertaken with precision nutrient and irrigation management under system of crop intensification (SCI) to understand the applicability of sensor-based decision tools in improving the physiological performance, water productivity, and seed yield of soybean crop. The experiment consisted of three irrigation regimes [I: standard flood irrigation at 50% depletion of available soil moisture (DASM) (FI), I: sprinkler irrigation at 80% ET (crop evapo-transpiration) (Spr 80% ET), and I: sprinkler irrigation at 60% ET (Spr 60% ET)] assigned in main plots, with five precision nutrient management (PNM) practices{PNM-[SCI protocol], PNM-[RDF, recommended dose of fertilizer: basal dose incorporated (50% N, full dose of P and K)], PNM-[RDF: basal dose point placement (BDP) (50% N, full dose of P and K)], PNM-[75% RDF: BDP (50% N, full dose of P and K)] and PNM-[50% RDF: BDP (50% N, full P and K)]} assigned in sub-plots using a split-plot design with three replications.

Hypoglycemia with insulin in post-transplant diabetes mellitus.

Introduction: To prevent hypoglycemic episodes, the management of insulin therapy against post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is important. We compared glargine (long-acting insulin) versus NPH isophane (intermediate-acting insulin) as an armamentarium against PTDM. Indeed, the study evaluated PTDM patients with hypoglycemic episodes treated with isophane or glargine.

Above and below-ground growth, accumulated dry matter and nitrogen remobilization of wheat () genotypes grown in PVC tubes under well- and deficit-watered conditions.

The continuing decline in water resources under the ever-changing climate compels us to re-orient our focus to a more sustainable practice. This study investigates the performance of wheat genotypes viz. HD-2967, HD-3086, HD-3249, DBW-187, and HD-3226 under well- and deficit-watered conditions for their root-traits, biomass and nitrogen accumulation and remobilization, and water use efficiencies, grown in PVC-tubes.

The comparison of Canopeo and samplepoint for measurement of green canopy cover for forage crops in India.

Canopy covers can be measured using destructive (visual) and non-destructive methods (spectral indices, photogrammetry, visual assessment, and quantum sensor). The precision of crop cover estimation, however, is dependent on the selection of appropriate methods. Studies were conducted at the Indian Grassland and Fodder Research Institute, Jhansi to compare the forage crops canopy cover estimated using photogrammetry software (Canopeo and SamplePoint) and visual assessments.

Integrated management enhances crop physiology and final yield in maize intercropped with blackgram in semiarid South Asia.

Photosynthesis, crop health and dry matter partitioning are among the most important factors influencing crop productivity and quality. Identifying variation in these parameters may help discover the plausible causes for crop productivity differences under various management practices and cropping systems. Thus, a 2-year (2019-2020) study was undertaken to investigate how far the integrated crop management (ICM) modules and cropping systems affect maize physiology, photosynthetic characteristics, crop vigour and productivity in a holistic manner.

Etio-Hematological Profile and Clinical Correlates of Outcome of Pancytopenia in Children: Experience From a Tertiary Care Center in North India.

Introduction Pancytopenia is a clinical entity encountered in pediatric practice as a feature of various benign and malignant disorders. It describes the simultaneous presence of anemia, leucopenia and thrombocytopenia. Attempts to identify the correct etiology and gauging the severity of pancytopenia will help to determine the management and prognosis of the patients.

Bioinoculants play a significant role in shaping the rhizospheric microbial community: a field study with Cajanus cajan.

The present study is an attempt to understand the impact of bioinoculants, Azotobacter chroococcum (A), Bacillus megaterium (B), Pseudomonas fluorescens (P), on (a) soil and plant nutrient status, (b) total resident and active bacterial communities, and (c) genes and transcripts involved in nitrogen cycle, during cultivation of Cajanus cajan. In terms of available macro- and micro-nutrients, triple inoculation of the bioinoculants (ABP) competed well with chemical fertilizer (CF). Their 'non-target' effects were assessed in terms of the abundance and activity of the resident bacterial community by employing denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE).

Coated Urea Materials for Improving Yields, Profitability, and Nutrient Use Efficiencies of Aromatic Rice.

Intensive cultivation and introduction of input-responsive high-yielding varieties with application of major nutrients in rice-wheat rotation of Indo-Gangetic plains (IGPs) lead to multiple nutrient deficiencies. A survey of Indian soils has shown that 40% are deficient in available zinc (Zn), 33% in sulfur (S), and 33% in boron (B). Studies have indicated that application of these nutrients with major nutrients can improve the crop productivity.

Demographics and Outcome of Philadelphia-positive ALL in a Pediatric Population in North India: a Single-center Experience.

Philadelphia-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children had a worse outcome before the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors. We have evaluated the demographics and outcome of Ph+ ALL patients treated with imatinib without blood marrow transplantation. Of the 206 children with ALL registered for treatment, the demographic data of 15 Ph+ ALL patients were compared with the remaining Ph- patients.

A Comparative Evaluation of Presepsin with Procalcitonin and CRP in Diagnosing Neonatal Sepsis.

The objectives of this study were to study the clinical and biochemical profile of neonates with sepsis and to evaluate the diagnostic role of presepsin and its comparison with C-reactive protein (CRP) and Procalcitonin (PCT). This study was conducted from March 2015 through October 2016 in Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at S N Medical College, Agra. Neonates with ≥1 clinical features of sepsis and/or two risk factors were included.

Outcome of extraocular retinoblastoma in a resource limited center from low middle income country.

Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common ocular malignancy in children, and is managed by multimodal treatment. There is a paucity of data regarding the clinical profile and outcome of children with extraocular retinoblastoma from Low Middle Income Countries (LMIC) including India. Case records of children with newly diagnosed extraocular RB from January 2013 to August 2016 treated at our unit were analysed for clinical profile, treatment, and outcome.

Clinical Profile and Outcome of Influenza A/H1N1 in Pediatric Oncology Patients During the 2015 Outbreak: A Single Center Experience from Northern India.

Isolated cerebellar ataxia: an early neurological complication of enteric fever.

Enteric fever is associated with a variety of clinical presentations and complications. Although central nervous system involvement is not uncommon in enteric fever, acute cerebellar ataxia as a presenting feature is rare. A 7-year-old boy with enteric fever who presented with acute cerebellar ataxia is reported.

Down syndrome with cerebral arteriovenous malformation.

Down syndrome (DS) or trisomy 21 is one of the most common and best known of all chromosomal disorders. Although major congenital malformations such as those of the heart and gastro-intestinal tract are commonly associated with DS, cerebral arteriovenous malformation with motor neurodeficits is rarely reported. A 2-year-old girl with DS presenting with right-sided hemiparesis and right partial seizures is reported.

Antioxidant status of children with acute renal failure.

The production of free radicals can cause renal injury and play a role in the pathogenesis of acute renal failure (ARF). The indirect markers of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were evaluated in children with ARF and controls. Forty patients with ARF aged 0-10 years were selected.
