BackgroundEarlier serosurveys in India revealed seroprevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) 0.73% May–June 2020 and 7.1% August–September 2020. A third serosurvey was conducted between December January 2021 to estimate the SARS-CoV-2 infection among general population healthcare workers (HCWs) India.MethodsThe same 70 districts as first second serosurveys. For each district, at least 400 individuals aged ≥10 years from 100 HCWs subdistrict-level health...
3-(Trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TMSPMA) is used to coat the surface of halloysite nanoparticles, resulting in a less hydrophilic clay and improved nanoparticle dispersibility epoxy polymer (EP). The efficiency epoxy/clay nanocomposites terms thermal, mechanical, barrier properties was studied. results XRD, SEM/EDX, TEM, TGA all show that nanoparticles are silanized. EP-TMSPMA/clay coatings have high degree hydrophobicity (WCA: 139°) roughness. Electrochemical techniques were...
The risk of tuberculosis (TB) disease is higher in individuals with TB infection. In a endemic country like India, it essential to understand the current burden infection at population level. objective present analysis estimate prevalence India and explore factors associated infection.Individuals aged > 15 years recently completed National survey who were tested for by QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) assay considered this sub-analysis. was defined as positive QFT-Plus (value >0.35...
Depression during perinatal period leads to adverse pregnancy outcome and of child growth. Our study aimed examine the burden antenatal depression associated risk factors among pregnant women living in rural settings Chennai, a southern state India.A pilot cross-sectional was conducted one Southern States India August through September 2013. Hundred who agreed participate were enrolled this study. Edinburg postnatal scale used assess level participants. Information also gathered about...
Background: Repeated cross-sectional serosurveys in the same geographic area establish trend of evolving pandemic. We present findings third round a national serosurvey to estimate seroprevalence SARS-CoV-2 infection among general population and health care workers India. Methods: conducted population-based between Dec 18, 2020 Jan 6, 2021 700 villages or wards from 70 districts 21 states across India, which were selected for first second serosurveys. enrolled each district, at least 400...

Background: India witnessed a severe second wave of COVID-19 during March and June 2021. We did the fourth nationwide serosurvey to estimate prevalence SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in general population aged >=6 years health care workers (HCWs). Methods: cross-sectional study between 14 6 July 2021 700 clusters same 70 districts across 21 states/Union Territory. From each district, minimum 400 individuals from 100 HCWs district public facilities were included. The serum samples tested for presence...
