Air pollution is a major planetary health risk, with India estimated to have some of the worst levels globally. To inform action at subnational in India, we exposure air and its impact on deaths, disease burden, life expectancy every state 2017.We pollution, including ambient particulate matter defined as annual average gridded concentration PM2.5, household percentage households using solid cooking fuels corresponding across states accessible data from multiple sources part Global Burden...
The association of air pollution with multiple adverse health outcomes is becoming well established, but its negative economic impact less appreciated. It important to elucidate this for the states India.
BackgroundThe first national severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) serosurvey in India, done May–June, 2020, among adults aged 18 years or older from 21 states, found a SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody seroprevalence of 0·73% (95% CI 0·34–1·13). We aimed to assess the more recent nationwide general population India.MethodsWe did second household individuals 10 same 700 villages wards within 70 districts India that were included serosurvey.

Outbreaks of unexplained illness frequently remain under-investigated. In India, outbreaks an acute neurological with high mortality among children occur annually in Muzaffarpur, the country's largest litchi cultivation region. 2014, we aimed to investigate cause and risk factors for this illness.In hospital-based surveillance nested age-matched case-control study, did laboratory investigations assess potential infectious non-infectious causes illness. Cases were aged 15 years or younger who...
The burden of viral hepatitis in India is not well characterized. In 2009, the national Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP) began conducting surveillance across all Indian states for epidemic-prone diseases, including foodborne and waterborne forms (e.g., A E). Information on outbreaks hepatitis, A, B, C, E, also collected. This report summarizes outbreak data reported to IDSP during 2011-2013. During this period, 804,782 cases 291 were reported; virus type was unspecified 92%...
Waste mainly contains cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose among them cellulose is the most abundant organic polymer on earth, playing a vital role in structural integrity of plant cells. They are structurally difficult to break which result their accumulation affecting environment. Biological method involving certain microorganisms, notably cellulose-degrading bacteria considered as sustainable combat such problems. In this current research work, isolation characterization was carried out...
Abstract We investigated a Kyasanur Forest disease outbreak in Karnataka, India during December 2013–April 2014. Surveillance and retrospective study indicated low vaccine coverage, effectiveness, spread of to areas beyond those selected for vaccination age groups not targeted vaccination. To control disease, strategies need be reviewed.

The association of infants’ birth weight with maternal cardiovascular morbidity (CVD) and mortality substantiates the foetal origins hypothesis. Few studies to date have investigated grandparent–infant risk association. We prospectively examined this relationship in Lifeways three-generation familial cohort, contrasting lineage gender differences understand mechanisms intergenerational transmission. In 2001, a cohort 1082 families was established at antenatal stage. A total 539 ( n =...
