BackgroundCongenital anomalies are the fifth leading cause of mortality in children younger than 5 years globally. Many gastrointestinal congenital fatal without timely access to neonatal surgical care, but few studies have been done on these conditions low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). We compared outcomes seven most common low-income, middle-income, high-income globally, identified factors associated with mortality.MethodsWe did a multicentre, international prospective cohort...

Background: Maternal and perinatal Health Research collaboration, India (MaatHRI) is a research platform that aims to improve evidence-based pregnancy care outcomes for mothers babies in India, country with the second highest burden of maternal deaths. The objective this paper describe methods used establish standardise results process. Methods: MaatHRI hospital-based collaborative platform.

Ileal perforation occurs in about 1% of enteric fevers as a complication, with case fatality risk (CFR) 20%-30% the early 1990s that decreased to 15.4% 2011 South East Asia. We report nontraumatic ileal perforations and its associated CFR from 2-year prospective fever surveillance across India.The Surveillance for Enteric Fever India (SEFI) project established multitiered system between December 2017 March 2020. Nontraumatic were surveilled at 8 tertiary care 6 secondary hospitals classified...
Context: A single case of thiamine deficiency seen in a population reflects public health problem which is preventable and easily treatable. Aim: This article describes suspected among peripartum women rural Assam presenting as clinically overt peripheral polyneuropathy. Materials Methods: retrospective review the clinical presentation electrodiagnostic features with polyneuropathy during 6-month period, showing improvement symptoms after administration thiamine.

Abstract In this article, we report the different presentations of thiamine deficiency disorders seen at a remote rural mission hospital in Northeast India, including investigations, treatment, and recovery. Two case studies, one an infant with cardiac beriberi other nonalcoholic adult presenting peripheral neuropathy, cardiomyopathy, metabolic acidosis responding to supplementation, are described detail. We share our experience these clinical entities over past two decades, recent research...
We report a case of right paraduodenal hernia with strangulation almost the entire small bowel at presentation. Since resection all doubtful viability would have resulted in too little residual length to sustain life, Bogota bag was fashioned using transparent plastic material from an urine drainage and patient monitored intensively for 18 hours. At re-laparotomy, clear demarcation lines had formed adequate viable (100 cm) anastomosis done good outcome on follow-up, 9 months after surgery....
Background: Historically, many Christian mission hospitals were established by home churches from developed countries in their colonies. With gaining independence and missionary medical staff leaving these hospitals, the majority have closed. These provide critical assistance to communities that need services most, yet they often lack financial human resources needed realize full potential for community impact. Existing charity rating organizations rate few charities transparency donors,...

Background: Mission hospitals in low-resource regions of the world face significant challenges providing high-quality, accessible care to patients. External funding is limited and can fluctuate significantly from year year. Additionally, attracting retaining well-qualified healthcare professionals for more than short stints seem almost impossible. Located a remote region Northeast India, Makunda Christian Leprosy & General Hospital has developed model over past 25 years that enabled it...

Four years later, patient again recurrence haemoptysis middle lobectomy performed. We present report successful management 20-year follow-up since...
Situated at the intersection of Himalayan and Indo-Chinese biodiversity hotspots, Northeast India is one most rich areas South Asia. Despite this, insects such as dragonflies damselflies (Order: Odonata) this region remain poorly studied causing an impediment to their conservation assessments.
