Opportunistic Screening for Enhanced TB Case Detection among Inpatients in a Tertiary Care Hospital, Bengaluru.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health challenge, causing substantial illness and death. In India, the National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP) has been working to combat TB, but eliminating the disease remains difficult. To improve TB case detection, a feasibility study took place at a tertiary care hospital in Bengaluru, India.

Critical review on additive manufacturing based biomedical and biosensors application.

The domains of biomedical engineering and biosensors have been revolutionized by additive manufacturing, commonly referred to as 3D printing. This study delves into the various ways additive printing has been used in these fields, showcasing its role in creating biosensor parts, implants, tissue engineering scaffolds, and medical equipment. The production of typical prosthetics and implants has been revolutionized by additive manufacturing.

Atom bond connectivity index for graph with self-loops and its application to structure property relationships in anticancer drugs.

Let [Formula: see text] be a graph derived from a simple graph G by adding a self-loop to each vertex in a subset [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we define the atom bond connectivity index of the graph [Formula: see text] as [Formula: see text] and the atom bond connectivity energy of [Formula: see text] as [Formula: see text]. We obtained upper bounds for the ABC spectral radius of the graph [Formula: see text] as well as bounds for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in terms of m, n, Δ and δ.

AlteQ: a new complementarity principle-centered method for the evaluation of docking poses.

Molecular docking is the most popular and widely used method for identifying novel molecules against a target of interest. However, docking procedures and their validation are still under intense development. In the present investigation, we evaluate a quantum free-orbital AlteQ method for evaluating docking complexes generated by taking EGFR complexes as an example.

Tobacco smoking and blood pressure: How are they related among the Indians? - A secondary analysis of National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-4 data.

Background: India, the second leading producer of tobacco, puts the population at a higher chance of tobacco consumption contributing to a significant disease burden. Though tobacco smoking is a modifiable risk factor for hypertension and has been on the rise among the population, studies on the relationship of tobacco with hypertension are limited in India.

Aim: This study aimed to assess the population-level risk of tobacco (smoke) use and elevated blood pressure (BP) among Indians and also assess the association of risk of tobacco smoking with hypertension based on the place of residence.
