Predictors of maternal and fetal outcome in severely anemic pregnant mothers: A sequential mixed methods study.

Introduction: Severe anemia in pregnancy increases maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality in the antenatal period.

Objective: To find out the maternal and fetal outcomes in severely anemic pregnant women and explore the reason for the persistence of severe anemia in pregnant women.

Materials And Methods: Sequential explanatory mixed method study (Quan-Qual) was conducted in the Government Women and Children Hospital for a period of 1 and half years.

Identification of Autism in Children Using Static Facial Features and Deep Neural Networks.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complicated neurological developmental disorder that manifests itself in a variety of ways. The child diagnosed with ASD and their parents' daily lives can be dramatically improved with early diagnosis and appropriate medical intervention. The applicability of static features extracted from autistic children's face photographs as a biomarker to distinguish them from typically developing children is investigated in this study paper.

Congenital hypotrichosis, eruptive milia, and palmoplantar pits: a case report with review of literature.

We report a ten-month-old male infant, presenting with congenital hypotrichosis of scalp, absence of eyebrows and eyelashes. He also had multiple milia over face and extremities along with palmoplantar pits. The infant was born to third degree consanguineous marriage.

Recombinant Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus containing Cry1Ac gene codes for 130-kDa toxin protein.

Recombinant Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus containing Cry1Ac gene from Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki borne on pKT230, shuttle vector, was generated. PCR amplification of Cry1Ac gene present in recombinant G.

Molecular dynamics simulation of drug uptake by polymer.

Drug uptake by polymer was modeled using a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation technique. Three drugs--doxorubicin (water soluble), silymarin (sparingly water soluble) and gliclazide (water insoluble)--and six polymers with varied functional groups--alginic acid, sodium alginate, chitosan, Gantrez AN119 (methyl-vinyl-ether-co-malic acid based), Eudragit L100 and Eudragit RSPO (both acrylic acid based)--were selected for the study. The structures were modeled and minimized using molecular mechanics force field (MM+).

Occurrence of haemolytic & cytotoxic Aeromonas species in domestic water supplies in Chennai.

A study on the occurrence of Aeromonas species in the domestic water supplies in Chennai showed that as much as 37.9 per cent of the water samples analyzed from various sources harbored Aeromonas spp. Majority of the isolates belonged to Aeromonas sobria (13.
