This cross-sectional study was undertaken to compare WHO and Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) recommended growth charts compiled by Agarwal. 2105 children aged less than 5 years, attending 132 Anganwadi centres in Mysore city, were included by simple random sampling method. Weight and height of all children were recorded and plotted on both WHO and IAP charts. WHO charts detected more boys as underweight compared to IAP charts (P<0.0001). When weight charts of girls were compared there was no difference between the two charts. WHO charts detected more children with stunting than IAP charts, which was true for both boys and girls (P=0.001).

Melioidosis is a neglected tropical infection caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, which is found in soil and water across tropical countries. The infection spectrum ranges from mild localized lesions to severe sepsis. The clinical presentation, severity, and outcome are influenced by the route of infection, bacterial load, strain virulence, and specific virulence genes of B.

Background: Brain ageing is accompanied by the diminution of neuronal plasticity, which is correlated with the inability to respond to loss of memory, various stress-induced stimuli, and increased risk of neurodegenerative disorders. In the recent past, plant based herbal medicines are of interest over synthetic drugs for therapeutic purposes due to lower side effects. The Indian traditional medicine Ayurveda describes several herbal remedies, such as rasayana (elixirs for rejuvenation), to treat many age-related diseases.

Emerging techniques of additive manufacturing, such as vat-based three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting, offer novel routes to prepare personalized scaffolds of complex geometries. However, there is a need to develop bioinks suitable for clinical translation. This study explored the potential of bacterial-sourced methacrylate levan (LeMA) as a bioink for the digital light processing (DLP) 3D bioprinting of bone tissue scaffolds.

Perovskite oxides have a wide variety of physical properties that make them promising candidates for versatile technological applications including nonvolatile memory and logic devices. Chemical tuning of those properties has been achieved, to the greatest extent, by cation-site substitution, while anion substitution is much less explored due to the difficulty in synthesizing high-quality, mixed-anion compounds. Here, nitrogen-incorporated BaTiO thin films have been synthesized by reactive pulsed-laser deposition in a nitrogen growth atmosphere.

Aptamers bind to their targets with exceptional affinity and specificity. However, their intracellular application is hampered by the lack of knowledge about the effect of the cellular milieu on the RNA structure/stability. In this study, cellular crowding was mimicked using polyethylene glycol (PEG), and the crucial role of Mg ions in stabilizing the structure of an RNA aptamer was investigated.
