Prakriti evaluation involves clinical examination including questions about physiological behavioural traits. A need was felt to develop models accurately predicting classes that have been shown exhibit molecular differences. The present study carried out on data phenotypic attributes in 147 healthy three extreme from a genetically...
Abstract Background Intestinal tuberculosis (ITB) and Crohn’s disease (CD) mimic each other clinically, endoscopically, radiologically are difficult to differentiate. This is a major barrier make an early diagnosis of CD in TB endemic areas. We aimed develop high accuracy machine learning-based model which could be easily implemented innovative way. Methods retrospectively analyzed data from 1066 patients. After cleaning, 796 patients (514 & 282 ITB) 28 variables were included. A super...
Growing evidence suggests the importance of lipid metabolism in pathogenesis tuberculosis. Neutral lipids form majority a caseous granuloma, pathology characteristic Cytosolic droplets (LDs) macrophages store house these and have been demonstrated to contribute inflammatory response infection. The proteome reflects mechanisms active under condition. However, infection induced changes dynamic organelles remains elusive. Here, we employed quantitative proteomics identify alterations upon with...
Antiepileptic drug therapy has significant inter-patient variability in response towards it. The current study aims to understand this at the molecular level using microarray-based analysis of peripheral blood gene expression profiles patients receiving valproate (VA) monotherapy. Only 10 unique genes were found be differentially expressed VA responders (n = 15) and 6 non-responders 8) (fold-change >2, p < 0.05). PTGS2 which encodes cyclooxygenase-2, COX-2, showed downregulation compared...
To understand the spread of SARS-CoV2, in August and September 2020, Council Scientific Industrial Research (India) conducted a serosurvey across its constituent laboratories centers India. Of 10,427 volunteers, 1058 (10.14%) tested positive for SARS-CoV2 anti-nucleocapsid (anti-NC) antibodies, 95% which had surrogate neutralization activity. Three-fourth these recalled no symptoms. Repeat serology tests at 3 (n = 607) 6 175) months showed stable anti-NC antibodies but declining Local...
Cerebellar ataxias (CAs) represent a group of autosomal dominant and recessive neurodegenerative disorders affecting cerebellum with or without spinal cord. Overall, CAs have preponderance for tandem nucleotide repeat expansions as an etiological factor (10 TREs explain nearly 30-40% ataxia cohort globally). The experience 10 years common genetic subtypes ≈5600 patients' referrals (Pan-India) received at single center is shared herein. Frequencies (in %, n) SCA types FRDA in the sample are...
The current TB treatment regimen involves a combination of drugs administered for an extended duration that could last 6 months to 2 years. This lead noncompliance and the emergence newer drug resistance strains.
In recent decades, dengue has been expanding rapidly in the tropical cities. Even though environmental factors and landscape features profoundly impact vector abundance disease epidemiology, significant gaps exist understanding role of local heterogeneity on epidemiology India. this study, we assessed remotely sensed climatic (rainfall, temperature humidity) variables (land use pattern, vegetation built up density) incidence (2012–2019) Bhopal city, Central Dengue hotspots city were through...
Precision medicine aims to move from traditional reactive a system where risk groups can be identified before the disease occurs.
