Considering the limited cross protection offered by current HPV vaccines, understanding genotype distribution among different population is essential in predicting efficacy of vaccine and devising new strategy. The present work aimed at investigating genotypes women with without cervical carcinoma Odisha, Eastern India.A total 607 participants have been enrolled between January 2014 June 2016. L1-PCR, sequencing, E6/E7 nested multiplex type- specific PCR were performed for detection...

The substantial morbidity and mortality associated with recent cholera outbreaks in Haiti Zimbabwe, as well endemicity countries throughout Asia Africa, make a compelling case for supplementary control measures addition to existing interventions. Clinical trials conducted Kolkata, India, have led World Health Organization (WHO)-prequalification of Shanchol, an oral vaccine (OCV) demonstrated 65% efficacy at 5 years post-vaccination. However, before this is widely used endemic areas or risk...

A clinical trial conducted in India suggests that the oral cholera vaccine, Shanchol, provides 65% protection over five years against clinically-significant cholera. Although vaccine is efficacious when tested an experimental setting, policymakers are more likely to use this after receiving evidence demonstrating delivered communities using local health department staff, cold chain equipment, and logistics. We used a test-negative, case-control design evaluate effectiveness of vaccination...

The success of dental implants depends on osseo-integration because titanium (Ti) maintains good mechanical stability while zirconia (Zr) prevents bacterial adhesion. early-stage adhesion MG-63 osteo-blast-like cells to Ti surfaces reached 78% ± 2.5% during the initial period (p<0.05). However, Zr demonstrated superior long-term cell proliferation and mineralization throughout analysis alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels at day 7 remained comparable between (1.25 0.09 U/mL) (1.18 0.07...

Background: Hypertension is a serious health issue worldwide and essential hypertension, which includes 90–95% of the cases, influenced by both genetic environmental factors. Identification these factors may help in control this disease. The Insertion/Deletion (I/D) polymorphism Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) gene rs2106809 (C > T) 2 (ACE2) have been reported to be associated with hypertension different populations.Aim: To investigate association ACE I/D ACE2 polymorphisms population...

SUMMARY This study reports clinico-epidemiological features and viral agents causing acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) in the eastern Indian region through hospital-based case enrolment during April 2011 to July 2012. Blood CSF samples of 526 AES cases were investigated by serology and/or PCR. Viral aetiology was identified 91 (17·2%) cases. Herpes simplex virus (HSV; types I or II) most common (16·1%), followed measles (2·6%), Japanese (1·5%), dengue (0·57%), varicella zoster (0·38%)...

Sudden deaths in children due to acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) from a tribal dominated district of Malkangiri Odisha, India, was reported during September-November, 2012. The investigation carried out search for the possible viral aetiology that caused this outbreak. Clinico-epidemiological survey and seromolecular were confirm aetiology. Two hundred seventy two suspected cases with 24 observed. patients presented low moderate grade fever (87%), headache (43%), vomiting (27%), cold...

ABSTRACT To explore the hypothesis that susceptibility to cerebral malaria is influenced by genetic variation in endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), we genotyped three commonly defined polymorphic loci of eNOS, Glu 298 →Asp, intron 4 variable number tandem repeat region, and T-786→C, 244 patients (mean age, 36.2 years) with mild 194 35.6 severe belonging same ethnic group Orissa, an eastern Indian state.
