Identification and characterization of multiple fungal pathogens associated with brown spot disease of rice in India.

Unlabelled: Brown spot (BS) disease causes significant losses to rice productivity. In this study, a roving survey in the Karnataka state of India revealed a wider distribution of BS with a percent disease index range of 20.56-50.

Comparative genomics of rice false smut fungi Uv-Gvt strain from India reveals genetic diversity and phylogenetic divergence.

False smut disease of rice caused by is an emerging threat to rice cultivation worldwide due to its detrimental effects on grain yield and quality. False smut disease severity was 4.44‒17.

Life expectancy and risk factors for early death in patients with severe thalassemia syndromes in South India.

In spite of advances in chelation therapy and screening of blood, mortality associated with the most common life-threatening noncommunicable disease of children in India, transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT), remains poorly defined. This study aims at estimating death rates and mortality risk factors associated with TDT. The clinical records of 1087 patients from 5 thalassemia centers in India were retrospectively analyzed from 2011 to 2018.

Information Technology-Assisted Treatment Planning and Performance Assessment for Severe Thalassemia Care in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Observational Study.

Background: Successful models of information and communication technology (ICT) applied to cost-effective delivery of quality care in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) are an increasing necessity. Severe thalassemia is one of the most common life-threatening noncommunicable diseases of children globally.

Objective: The aim was to study the impact of ICT on quality of care for severe thalassemia patients in LMIC.
