Surveillance for surgical site infections developed during hospital stay & after discharge: A multicentric study.

Background & objectives Surgical site infections (SSIs) are among the most prevalent healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs). They cause significant morbidity, leading to excess health expenditures and increased length of hospital stay. Despite a high population burden, data on post-discharge SSIs is lacking from low-and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Investigating emergency rescue readiness on Indian national highways: A case study of Jaipur-Jodhpur Highways (India) using a geospatial approach.

Background: Highways represent the most significant capital asset that any country's public sector holds. A system of national highways with easy access to ambulance and trauma centers is termed emergency rescue ready and helps reduce the mortality due to road accidents. Given the rich impetus for road infrastructure development by the government of India, there is a need to consider emergency rescue readiness on highways.

Interplay of niche and respiratory network in shaping bacterial colonization.

The human body is an intricate ensemble of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and this coexistence relies on the interplay of many biotic and abiotic factors. The inhabiting microbial population has to maintain its physiological homeostasis under highly dynamic and often hostile host environments. While bacterial colonization primarily relies on the metabolic suitability for the niche, there are reports of active remodeling of niche microenvironments to create favorable habitats, especially in the context of pathogenic settlement.

Distinguishing gene variant severity for mild, severe, and atypical peroxisome biogenesis disorders in .

Peroxisomal biogenesis disorders (PBD) are autosomal recessive disorders caused by loss-of-function mutations of one of the genes responsible for peroxisomal formation. Impaired peroxisome assembly causes severe multisystemic failure with patient phenotypes ranging from epilepsy, liver disease, feeding issues, biochemical abnormalities, and neurodegeneration. Variants in the same gene can produce wide differences in severity, ranging from individuals with death in the first year of life to adults with milder complications.

Comparison of the Efficacy and Safety of Thoracoscopic Surgery and Conventional Open Surgery for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia in Neonates: A Meta-analysis.

Background: Thoracoscopic surgery is an increasingly popular surgical technique for the repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernias. We performed a meta-analysis to compare the efficacy, safety of thoracoscopic surgery and the conventional open surgical approach for congenital diaphragmatic hernia in neonates.

Materials And Methods: A systematic search of electronic databases such as PubMed, Google, and Web of Science was performed to identify studies comparing thoracoscopic surgery and open surgery for congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
