Context: Chromosomal abnormalities play an important role in diagnosis and prognosis of hematological diseases.
Aims: The aim of the present study was to study the pattern and frequency of chromosomal aberrations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) subgroups from western India.
Settings And Design: A retrospective study was conducted through evaluating laboratory proforma which were filled during 2005 to 2014 for diagnosis and treatment of AML subjects.
Children who experience maltreatment are at elevated risk of developing mental health difficulties. Even so, they often do not receive timely, evidenced-based mental health treatment, which may exacerbate the risk of poor outcomes. This study aims to describe the receipt of timely follow-up care after maltreatment in a southern state with known treatment shortages and aims to identify factors associated with timely follow-up care.

Methods: We used data from the 2015 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) for individuals aged 18 years or older who resided in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee to assess the association between caregiving status and food insecurity, accounting for the complex survey design of BRFSS. Caregiving-related predictors of food insecurity were identified by using multivariable logistic regression.
Context: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for BP 180 and 230 antibodies is commonly done in patients with bullous pemphigoid. We could not find much data regarding the usefulness of this test to predict the disease severity in Indian population.
Aims: We studied the correlation of IgG anti BP180 and anti BP230 antibody titer with disease severity and clinical features in bullous pemphigoid.
