Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as any degree of glucose intolerance that diagnosed for the first time during pregnancy. This prospective study was undertaken to validate single-step non-fasting 75 gm Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group India (DIPSI) criteria GDM Indian patients comparison with two-step fasting 100 challenge through Carpenter Coustan (CCC).Two hundred underwent comparative testing using DIPSI and CCC. Plasma venous blood levels were estimated hexokinase method;...
Introduction: Enteric-fever is a major public-health problem in developing countries emerging as multidrug-resistant, Nalidixic-acid resistant and extremely drug-resistant Salmonella (Pakistan, 2016), has intensified the use of WHO watch/reserve group antimicrobials such azithromycin meropenem. Methods: This ambispective-study was conducted on 782 non-repeat blood-culture isolates S. Typhi, Paratyphi A B obtained from 29,184 blood cultures received at 1000-bedded tertiary-care hospital...
Objective: Renal transplantation is frequently complicated by bacterial infections in the scenario of immunosuppression, altered metabolism and interventions resulting prolonged morbidity. Subdued clinical presentation, antimicrobial resistance toxicity question outcome transplantation. This retrospective study conducted at tertiary care apex transplant centre highlights colonization, infection patterns Transplant Recipients (RTR). Materials methods: Infection 130 RTR were studied....
India hosts 11% of the global urban population and is ranked as second-largest system in world. This study provides Heat Health Risk Index (HHRI) rankings for 37 major Indian cities with more than one million residents using geospatial socio-ecological data to identify potential heat health risk areas. In this study, we utilized Otsu method determine critical parameters index, considering factors such Land Surface Temperature (LST), solar radiation, density, mean temperature, city green...
Natural disasters have a widespread impact globally, often posing significant challenges to sustainable development in affected regions. Effective disaster recovery requires coordinated efforts from various stakeholders; however, this process is frequently hindered by inadequate resources and policies. Consequently, thorough exploration of resource- policy-related barriers essential for recovery. This study aims identify prioritize resource policy (RPBs) that hamper the ongoing post-flood...
