Correlation of severity & amp; clinical outcomes of COVID-19 with virus variants: A prospective, multicentre hospital network study
CONCLUSIONS: The authors believe that this is a first-of-its-kind study in the country that provides real-time data of virus evolution from a pan-India network of hospitals closely linked to the genome sequencing laboratories. The severity of COVID-19 could be correlated with virus variants with Omicron being the milder variant.PMID:38344919 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.ijmr_1041_23 (Source: Indian J Med Res)

Characteristics & amp; outcomes of tribal & amp; non-tribal neonates admitted to a special newborn care unit in rural Gujarat, India
CONCLUSIONS: There was a reduction in the case fatality rate over the study period. Tribal and non-tribal neonates had similar risk of death. Sepsis prevention and management, mechanical respiratory support and timely referral to a higher centre might help further reduction in mortality for these neonates.PMID:38293841 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.ijmr_3633_21 (Source: Indian J Med Res)

HIV, hepatitis B & amp; C in people who inject drugs in India: A systematic review of regional heterogeneity & amp; overview of opioid substitution treatment
CONCLUSIONS: There is a lack of sufficiently granular and generalizable estimates for HIV prevalence and any estimates for HCV and HBV among PWIDs in large parts of the country. Community-based representative studies are required to quantify the prevalence and severity of these diseases and allocate resources.PMID:38265946 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.ijmr_1930_23 (Source: Indian J Med Res)

Incidence of needlestick injury among healthcare workers in western India
CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that a relative lack of awareness towards preventive measures and inexperience among HCWs may be contributory to high occurrence of NSI events. This study emphasizes upon ensuring active hospital-wide hepatitis B vaccination of all HCWs and supportive therapy to improve compliance towards post-exposure prophylaxis.PMID:38265947 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.ijmr_892_23 (Source: Indian J Med Res)

Point-of-care tests for human papillomavirus detection in uterine cervical samples: A review of advances in resource-constrained settings
Indian J Med Res. 2023 Nov 1;158(5&6):509-521. doi: 10.4103/ijmr.ijmr_1143_23. Epub 2024 Jan 24.ABSTRACTIncidence of cervical cancer and associated mortality are still high in resource-constrained countries due to the lack of infrastructural facilities and trained workforce. Human papillomavirus (HPV)-based screening tests offer a better sensitivity (>90%) for the detection of cervical high-grade lesions. However, these tests usually require an extensive laboratory set-up and trained technical staff. Moreover, the high cost of the currently available and approved HPV tests precludes their use in the cervical cancer scre...
