Abstract Large carnivores such as leopards ( Panthera pardus ) experience continuing threats from habitat loss and fragmentation, depletion of prey populations, retaliatory killing following conflicts with humans. We aimed to identify factors affecting leopard occupancy temporal overlap between tigers P. tigris ), their major prey, human activities in the Parsa‐Koshi Complex (PKC), Nepal. deployed 154 cameras for 21 days each along wildlife trails throughout PKC during December 2022–March...
Ogilvie's syndrome is characterized by acute dilatation of the colon without any anatomic obstruction. It presents with signs and symptoms small or large bowel The management could be challenging, especially in critically chronically ill patients. We present a case 65-year-old male patient who developed extensive colonic ileus following prolonged hospitalization. discuss different strategies that we adopted.
Abstract Background Three million babies die in the early neonatal period while 2.6 are stillborn per year worldwide, and one of three deaths can be prevented. The perinatal mortality rate Nepal is around 31 1000 births. Although death rates have decreased recently, it still poses a major challenge to health system Nepal. objective study determine causes by integrating Minimally Invasive Tissue Sampling (MITS) hospital incorporating verbal autopsy community Kaski district Methods will...
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), mainly cardiovascular conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are the major causes of morbidities mortalities worldwide, with lower- middle-income countries (LMICs) bearing highest burden. As UN 25*25 targets near their final year Sustainable Development Goals approach last trimester, NCD cases continue to rise, leaving a significant undiagnosed population submerged in communities households. In Nepal, few initiatives have...
Genome sequencing plays a key role in understanding the genetic diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) . The genotype-specific character M. tb contributes to severity and emergence drug resistance. Strains complex can be classified into seven lineages. Nonthaburi (NB) genotype, belonging Indo-Oceanic lineage (lineage 1), has unique spoligotype IS 6110 -RFLP pattern but not previously undergone detailed whole genome analysis. In addition, there is much information available on...
Mutations in genes involved drug metabolism have been well-associated with resistance. Sequence analysis of known antimycobacterial drug-resistant is often used to predict resistance antibiotics. However, some polymorphisms such may serve a phylogenetic purpose rather than drugs. The Beijing family Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) prevalent worldwide and has associated the emergence multidrug type (ST) 10 most predominant countries like Peru, Taiwan Thailand. A sequence was performed 81...
Introduction. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a major public health problem globally, including in Indonesia. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis has rarely been used for the study of TB and MDR-TB Indonesia.Aim. We evaluated use WGS drug-susceptibility testing (DST) to investigate population structure drug-resistant Mycobacterium Java, Indonesia.Methodology. Thirty suspected isolates were subjected MGIT 960 system (MGIT)-based DST WGS. Phylogenetic was done using data....
Abstract Background Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) have attracted interest as a potential therapy given their anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. However, clinical trials using MSCs for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) produced mixed inconclusive data. In previous work, we performed “head-to-head” comparison between different sources of showed that each source had unique genomic proteomic “signature”. Method This study investigated which MSC: bone marrow...

Infections with the Beijing family of Mycobacterium tuberculosis occur worldwide and are endemic in Asian countries. We present draft genome sequence DS6701, a multidrug-resistant M. strain type 10. The isolate is representative strains isolated from outbreak Thailand.
INTRODUCTION: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is considered as the most common bacterial infectious disease seen among pediatric patients. Most commonly, members of Enterobacteriaceae, particularly uropathogenic strains E. coli and Enterobacter spp. are primary causative pathogens UTI in different part world. Emergence antimicrobial resistance rates recovered from urinary infections an increasing problem specific region. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prevalence anti microbial susceptibility pattern...
Background: The extensive use of mobile phones in the hospital among health care workers (HCWs) can lead to infectious agents being transferred from one patient another and thus serve as a vehicle transmission nosocomial pathogens.
 Objectives: This study aimed investigate prevalence Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus auerus (MRSA) contamination hands HCWs Gandaki Medical College Teaching Hospital.
 Methods: present was laboratory based cross-sectional study, carried out April,...
Introduction: Wound infections are significant group of in the hospitals worldwide. The wide spread uses antimicrobial agents lead to emergence resistant pathogens contributing increased morbidity and mortality. Accurate prompt therapy is required reduce complications. This study was aimed investigate pyogenic bacterial their susceptibility patterns.
 Methods: A cross sectional carried out at Gandaki Medical College Teaching Hospital from July December 2018. specimens obtained adult...

BACKGROUND Providencia rettgeri is a rare cause of nosocomial infection in humans. These organisms are capable biofilm production and intrinsically resistant to commonly used antibiotics, leading high rates morbidity mortality. P. may very rarely postneurosurgical infection. OBSERVATIONS In this report, the authors describe two patients whom complicated postoperative course. Both underwent craniotomy at approximately same time under similar environments. The organism isolated was most...
Scrub Typhus (ST) is an acute febrile illness caused by obligate intracellular bacteria of the family Rickettsia. It often unrecognized and neglected but prevalent in tropical regions endemic areas. The tragedy behind this diagnostic dilemma non-specific clinical signs symptoms, limited awareness, unavailability facilities, low index suspicion among physicians. To address knowledge gap, we tried to find out a proper panel laboratory investigations diagnose disease predict its progression...
Introduction: The stethoscope, an essential tool for medical examination, can be important vehicle the transmission of drug-resistant pathogens like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Thus, this study aimed to detect stethoscope as a potential source hospital-acquired aureus infection.

Spring rice (Oryza sativa L.) plays a crucial role as Nepal’s primary staple cereal crop. It has high potential an alternative during low production in the main season, ensuring food self-sufficiency. A field study was conducted on spring at farmer school, Kailari Rural Municipality-09, Kailali district, Nepal to identify best-performing and most preferred genotypes by farmers through participatory approach. The experiment laid out randomized complete block design (RCBD) with twelve...
