BackgroundGlobal development goals increasingly rely on country-specific estimates for benchmarking a nation's progress. To meet this need, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2016 estimated global, regional, national, and, selected locations, subnational cause-specific mortality beginning in year 1980. Here we report an update to that study, making use newly available data improved methods. GBD 2017 provides comprehensive assessment 282 causes 195 countries...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Ending the global tobacco epidemic is a defining challenge in health. Timely and comprehensive estimates of prevalence smoking use attributable disease burden are needed to guide control efforts nationally globally. <h3>Methods</h3> We estimated for 204 countries territories, by age sex, from 1990 2019 as part Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study. modelled multiple smoking-related indicators 3625 representative surveys. completed systematic...
18% of the world's population lives in India, and many states India have populations similar to those large countries. Action effectively improve health requires availability reliable comprehensive state-level estimates disease burden risk factors over time. Such not been available so far for all major diseases factors. Thus, we aimed estimate every state as part Global Burden Disease (GBD) Study 2016.Using data sources, State-Level Initiative estimated (metrics were deaths,...
BackgroundThe burden of cardiovascular diseases is increasing in India, but a systematic understanding its distribution and time trends across all the states not readily available. In this report, we present detailed analysis how patterns major risk factors have changed India between 1990 2016.MethodsWe analysed prevalence disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) due to component causes from 2016, using accessible data sources as part Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2016....
India has 18% of the global population and an increasing burden chronic respiratory diseases. However, a systematic understanding distribution diseases their trends over time is not readily available for all states India. Our aim was to report in heterogeneity between 1990 2016.Using accessible data from multiple sources, we estimated prevalence major deaths disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) caused by them every state 2016 as part Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study...
In developed countries, regular breakfast consumption is inversely associated with excess weight and directly better dietary improved physical activity behaviors. Our objective was to describe the frequency of among school-going adolescents in Delhi evaluate its association overweight obesity as well other dietary, activity, sedentary Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Eight schools (Private Government) year 2006. Participants: 1814 students from 8th 10th grades; response rate 87.2%;...
In low/middle income countries like India, diabetes is prevalent and health care access limited. Most adults have a mobile phone, creating potential for mHealth interventions to improve public health. To examine the feasibility initial evidence of effectiveness mDiabetes, text messaging program risk behaviors, global nonprofit organization (Arogya World) implemented mDiabetes among one million Indian adults.A prospective, parallel cohort design was applied whether improved fruit, vegetable,...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Chewing tobacco and other types of smokeless use have had less attention from the global health community than smoked use. However, practice is popular in many parts world has been linked to several adverse outcomes. Understanding trends prevalence with age, over time, by location sex important for policy setting relation monitoring assessing commitment WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. <h3>Methods</h3> We estimated chewing as part Global Burden...

We assessed the effectiveness of a 2-year multicomponent, school-based intervention designed to reduce tobacco use rates among adolescents in an urban area India.Students from 32 schools Delhi and Chennai, India, were recruited randomly assigned or control group. Baseline, intermediate, outcome data collected 2 cohorts 6th- 8th-grade students 2004; 14,063 took part study completed survey 2004, 2005, 2006.

Nicotine is universally recognized as the primary addictive substance fuelling continued use of tobacco products, which are responsible for over 8 million deaths annually. In recent years, popularity newer recreational nicotine products has surged drastically in many countries, raising health and safety concerns. For decades, industry promoted myth that harmless caffeine. Nonetheless, evidence shows far from innocuous, even on its own. fact, numerous studies have demonstrated can harm...
In the past two decades, numerous scheduling and load balancing techniques have been proposed for locally distributed multiprocessor systems. However they all suffer from significant deficiencies when extended to a Grid environment: some use centralized approach that renders algorithm unscalable, while others assume overhead involved in searching appropriate resources be negligible. Furthermore, classical algorithms do not consider node N-resource rich merely work towards maximizing...
Background Smoking in Hollywood movies is a known risk factor for teen smoking the USA and Europe, but little about association between exposure to tobacco use Bollywood India. Methods A cross-sectional sample of 3956 adolescents (eighth ninth grades, ages 12–16 years) from 12 randomly selected New Delhi schools was surveyed 2009, assessing status, receptivity promotions (based on owning or being willing wear tobacco-branded merchandise) movies.

The exchange stiffness (Aex) is one of the key parameters controlling magnetization reversal in magnetic materials. We used a method based on spin spiral formation two ferromagnetic films antiferromagnetically coupled across non-magnetic spacer layer and Brillouin scattering to measure Aex for series Co1-δXδ (X = Cr, Ni, Ru, Pd, Pt) thin film alloys. results show that Co alloys does not necessarily scale with Ms; approximately decreases at rate 1.1%, 1.5%, 2.1%, 3.5%, 5.6%, while Ms 0.5%,...
Nearly 275 million adults (15 years and above) use tobacco in India, which contributes substantially to potentially preventable morbidity mortality. There is good evidence from developed country settings that of cessation services influences intention quit, with a higher proportion attempts being successful fully quitting. little about quitting behaviour the Indian context. This study assesses socio-demographic characteristics used by i) who attempted quit smoked smokeless ii) were The was...
An antiferromagnetically coupled FM/NM/FM (FM = ferromagnet, NM normal metal) trilayer structure responds to an external magnetic field by the formation of a magnetic-moment spring within FM layers. We show that exchange stiffness $({A}_{\mathrm{ex}})$ layer can be determined fitting field-dependent magnetization, $M(H)$, micromagnetic model. Using this method, we have measured thin-film Co alloyed with Cr, Fe, Ni, Pd, Pt, and Ru. The results rate at which substituent element reduces is not...
Inadequate physical activity (PA) levels are reported in Indian youth, with lowest among adolescents, particularly girls. We aimed to identify barriers and enablers of PA school children New Delhi examine potential differences by gender type (government vs. private). A total 174 students (private = 88, 47% girls; government 86, 48% girls) aged 12 16 years from two schools participated focus group discussions (FGDs) conducted bilingual moderators. FGDs separately for girls boys, Grades VIII...
