Brain infections pose substantial challenges in diagnosis and management carry high mortality morbidity, especially low-income middle-income countries. We aimed to improve the early of patients admitted hospital (adults aged 16 years older children >28 days) with suspected acute brain at 13 hospitals Brazil, India, Malawi. With stakeholders, policy makers, patient public representatives, we co-designed a multifaceted clinical laboratory intervention, informed by an evaluation routine...
Studies of cases Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker (BMD) confirmed by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) have determined the clinical characteristics, genotype, relations between reading frame phenotype for different countries. This is first such study from India.A retrospective genotype-phenotype analysis 317 MLPA-confirmed patients with DMD or BMD who visited neuromuscular clinic a quaternary referral center in southern India.The comprised 279 (88%), 32...

Abstract Most of the patients with multiple sclerosis present initially as radiologically isolated syndrome followed by clinically (CIS). To prevent long-term progression to sclerosis, it is essential differentiate CIS from other neurological disorders. We two cases that were diagnosed have CIS.
