From March to June 2021, India experienced a deadly second wave of COVID-19, with an increased number post-vaccination breakthrough infections reported across the country. To understand possible reason for these breakthroughs, we collected 677 clinical samples (throat swab/nasal swabs) individuals from 17 states/Union Territories country who had received two doses (n = 592) and one dose 85) vaccines tested positive COVID-19. These cases were telephonically interviewed data analyzed. A total...
Background The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus has spread rapidly around globe during past 3 months. As infected cases and mortality rate this is increasing exponentially, scientists researchers all over world are relentlessly working to understand new along with possible treatment regimens discovering active therapeutic agents vaccines. So, there an urgent requirement effective medications that can treat SARS-CoV-2. Methods findings We perform...
Coronavirus disease is primarily transmitted through the respiratory route and bodily contact. The fatality in COVID-19 cases was alarming initial days. This study analyzes hematological biochemical markers of non-survivors.In this single-center study, records 249 patients hospitalized with were studied for profile markers. Records laboratory-confirmed between April 14, 2020, to August 15, included analysis.Significantly, mortality associated increased procalcitonin (P < 0.05), C-reactive...
India introduced BBV152/Covaxin and AZD1222/Covishield vaccines in January 2021. We estimated the effectiveness of these against severe COVID-19 among individuals aged ≥45 years.We did a multi-centric, hospital-based, case-control study between May July Cases were patients, controls negative from 11 hospitals. Vaccine (VE) was for complete (2 doses ≥ 14 days) partial (1 dose 21 vaccination; interval two vaccine vaccination Delta variant. used random effects logistic regression model to...
Infection by human herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 (HSV-1/2) is common globally though with wide regional variability. Seroepidemiology of HSV-1/2 infections utmost importance in formulating control strategies, but there a paucity data from many regions India. This study aimed to determine the prevalence anti-HSV-1/2 antibodies Uttarakhand adjoining areas its pattern distribution different subgroups. Serum samples 322 cases were subjected ELISA test check for presence IgG IgM antibodies....
Introduction: Multidrug resistance in nosocomial pathogens is now a serious problem the health care system and causes majority of morbidity death worldwide. The current landscape antibiotic failures encourages researchers to look for plant-based (green synthesized) nanoparticles (NPs). Therefore, present study aims synthesize silver NPs (AgNPs) using leaf extract Syzygium cumini (S. cumini) assess their antibacterial, anti-motility, anti-biofilm potential against two multi-drug resistant...
Pathogenicity assessment studies in economically important species like silkworms are very for the development of sericulture-based industries. The present study is a sincere attempt this regard. objective to isolate and identify pathogenic bacterial strain from gut diseased Eri (Samia ricini) assess its pathogenicity. Hence, colonies S. ricini were isolated, out them, one (P1) was used study, which identified as Bacillus cereus (PP505527) by 16S rRNA sequencing. Different concentrations...
Purpose: A study was carried out in an Indian teaching hospital 2009 to detect the rate of surgical site infections (SSI) and peripheral vascular access infections. Materials Methods: The a point-prevalence involving over 300 patients. presence infection determined according CDC criteria. Swabs were taken from infected sites identification sensitivity using VITEK® 2 automated system. Characterisation β-lactamase at ARRML, Colindale, London. Results: SSI 15% for clean clean-contaminated...

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most commonly encountered bacterial infections. Due to misuse or excessive use antibiotics, upsurge multidrug-resistance cases in UTIs has now become a global threat public health. Exploring newer safer treatment using green synthesized nanoparticles (NPs) another substitute for eliminating multidrug-resistant pathogens. Methodology: Leaf extract Syzygium cumini was used synthesis gold NPs. Synthesis (ScAu-NPs) achieved by optimizing...
Abstract During March to June 2021 India has experienced a deadly second wave of COVID-19 with an increased number post-vaccination breakthrough infections reported across the country. To understand possible reason these breakthroughs we collected 677 clinical samples (throat swab/ nasal swabs) individuals who had received two doses (n=592) and one dose (n=85) vaccines (Covishield Covaxin,) tested positive for COVID-19, from 17 states/Union Territories These cases were telephonically...
Purpose: Disease pandemics are known to cause psychological distress. The ensuing mental health issues not only restricted the patients and their relatives/friends but affect healthcare workers (HCWs) as well. Our study aims assess these trends during COVID-19 pandemic between two most affected population groups, that is, frontline workers. Patients Methods: A survey questionnaire, including scales fear, anxiety, stress, depression – PSS 10, DASS 21, was distributed sent all...
Objective: HR-HPV types 16 and 18 are responsible for pre-invasive invasive lesions of the cervix, accounting 70-80% total subtypes. The aim this study was to investigate prevalence high-risk HPV subtypes in self-collected vaginal samples using real-time micro-PCR acceptability self-sampling.Methods: Eligible women (30-65 years) were screened from a semi-urban area Uttarakhand (India) self-sampling. High-risk genotypes (16/31 18/45) tested technique with results available one hour. positive...
Background: Management of community-acquired urinary tract infection (CA-UTI) relies heavily on empirical antibiotic therapy. Knowledge the proportion drug-resistant isolates especially extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli), and various risk factors for acquisition are essential. Method: Outpatient-treated CA-UTI cases were enrolled (continuously three months), microbiological analysis urine sample was performed significant bacterial growth followed by...
Toxoplasma gondii (TG), rubella virus (RV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), and herpes simplex type 1 2 (HSV 2) cause mild maternal morbidity but have serious fetal consequences. The prevalence of these infections varies widely by country population subgroup, the paucity data from hilly state Uttarakhand prompted us to undertake this study on their seroprevalence association with potential risk factors.
Intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) and malnutrition in under-five children contribute substantially to developing countries' childhood morbidity mortality. This study assessed the prevalence profile of IPI compared them with nutritional status other socioeconomic factors.Anthropometric indices were used for checking children. Malnutrition was graded into four grades (I-IV) based on Indian Academy Pediatrics advocated Weight-for-Age criteria. Children whose Height-for-Age...
Background and objective Surgical site infections (SSI) are the most common healthcare-associated in low- middle-income countries associated with substantial morbidity mortality impose heavy demands on healthcare resources.
