AI Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the impact of rotavirus vaccination on cases of acute gastroenteritis in children under five in Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, India.
- Out of 345 children with diarrhea, 20% tested positive for rotavirus, with several strains identified, including G3P[8] being the most common.
- The findings underscore the ongoing prevalence of rotavirus-related diarrhea, indicating the need for continuous evaluation of vaccine effectiveness and changes in circulating strains post-vaccination.
Article Abstract
Objectives: To report the data of burden of rotaviral acute gastroenteritis in under-five children from two states post-introduction of the vaccine.
Methods: Children under 5 y of age hospitalized with diarrhea from the states of Haryana and Himachal Pradesh in north India were recruited in the study. Commercially available ELISA kits were used for testing rotavirus in the collected stool samples. Genotyping of the positive samples was done by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction.
Results: Out of 345 samples collected, 69 (20%) were found to be positive for rotavirus by ELISA. Genotyping was done and G3P[8] (31.3%), G1P[8] (13.4%), G2P[4] (13.4%) were found to be prevalent strains. Mixed strains were also found in 19.4% stool samples.
Conclusions: The study highlighted the high burden of rotavirus associated diarrhea in north Indian states. The data is helpful for evaluating the impact of vaccine on the severity of acute gastroenteritis and the changing strains after the introduction of rotavirus vaccine in the Universal Immunization Program.

Ferroptosis is a novel form of programmed cell death characterized by iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and a decline in antioxidant capacity, all of which are regulated by gene expression. The onset of numerous diseases is closely associated with ferroptosis. Common diseases affect a large population, reduce the quality of life, and impose an increased burden on the healthcare system.

Background: Lower gastrointestinal perforation (LGP) is an acute abdominal condition associated with a high mortality rate. Timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial. Nevertheless, a diagnostic delay has been estimated to occur in approximately one-third of the cases, and the factors contributing to this delay are yet to be clearly understood.
