Trends in body mass index, nutrient intake and nutritional status of rural adults in India: National Nutrition Monitoring Bureau survey findings (1975-2012).

Background: Overweight/obesity has increased to an epidemic proportion throughout the globe and is an important risk factor for many non-communicable diseases. Globally, 2.5 billion people were overweight/obese and 890 million were obese in 2022.

Dopamine versus epinephrine for neonatal septic shock: an open labeled, randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: Septic shock is one of the most common causes of neonatal mortality. Dopamine and epinephrine are the two main drugs used in fluid refractory neonatal septic shock. However, there is lack of consensus on use of first line agent in neonates.

Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter by Point of Care Ultrasound to Detect Raised Intracranial Pressure in Children.

Objectives: The primary objective was to determine the area under the curve of optic nerve sheath diameter >4.5 mm for detection of raised intracranial pressure in children aged 1 year to 12 years admitted to PICU with neurological signs and symptoms. Our secondary objectives were to compare optic nerve sheath values in study population with age and sex-matched controls and determine change after 30 minutes of osmotherapy.

Transcriptomic insights into infection-associated pulmonary granulomas reveal multicellular immune networks and tuberculosis biomarkers in cattle.

, a member of the complex (MTBC), has emerged as a significant contributor to tuberculosis (TB) in cattle, wildlife, and humans. However, understanding about its pathogenesis and severity is limited, compounded by the lack of reliable TB biomarkers in cattle. This study delves into the comparative pathology and transcriptomic landscape of pulmonary granulomas in cattle naturally infected with , using high-throughput RNA sequencing.

Vasoactive Ventilation Renal Score as a Predictor of Outcomes in Children Admitted to PICU: An Observational Study.

Objectives: To determine the area under curve (AUC) for vasoactive ventilation renal score (VVRS) > 10 at 24-h of admission for predicting mortality in children aged 1-12 years admitted to pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). To also determine the AUC for VVRS > 10 at 48-h of admission for predicting mortality and to determine the AUC of VVRS > 10 at 24-h and 48-h of admission for predicting PICU stay > 3 days, hospital stay > 10 days and mechanical ventilation > 3 days.

Methods: This observational study included 310 children aged 1-12 years admitted in PICU.
