Challenges in screening for sickle cell disease among newborns from the tribal region of Palghar, Maharashtra during the COVID-19 pandemic
CONCLUSIONS: The study emphasizes the importance of network building, use of virtual platform and engaging health workers in tribal settings. Such pragmatic approaches have the potential to pave a path for further implementation research involving specific interventions to improve health outcomes in tribal settings.PMID:38006343 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.ijmr_3220_21 (Source: Indian J Med Res)

Correlation of microvessel density with histopathological parameters of carcinoma breast
CONCLUSIONS: A positive linear correlation of the microvessel counts and the NPI scores suggest that with an increase in tumour angiogenesis, there was increased proliferative potential. Based on the significant correlation between the microvessel counts and the vascular invasion of the tumour masses in this study, it can be assumed that there will be vascular invasion if the microvessel count is higher and vice-versa. Although it is established that angiogenesis and neovascularization are required for the expansion of the solid tumour tissue, the heterogeneous nature of this entity makes it difficult for obtaining a linea...

Comparison of acceptability & amp; efficacy of thermal ablation (thermocoagulation) & amp; cryotherapy in VIA positive cervical lesions: A pilot study
CONCLUSIONS: In the context of screen-and-treat programme in settings such as India, thermal ablation appears to be a better method of treatment than cryotherapy for cervical pre-cancerous lesions particularly in terms of better provision and client acceptability.PMID:38006345 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.ijmr_1166_22 (Source: Indian J Med Res)

Modulation of semaphorin 3C & amp; 4D expression in cancerous tissues from individuals with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: Increased expression of Sema3C but decreased expression of Sema4D in tumour tissue of LSCC may introduce these two growth factors as crucial mediators orchestrating tumour growth in individuals with LSCC. This result could open a new vision for the treatment of this malignancy.PMID:38006346 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.ijmr_3148_21 (Source: Indian J Med Res)

Acinetobacter baumannii in suspected bacterial infections: Association between multidrug resistance, virulence genes, & amp; biofilm production
CONCLUSIONS: The majority of isolates studied were from lower respiratory tract specimens. The high MDR rate and its positive association with biofilm formation indicate the nosocomial distribution of A. baumannii. The biofilm formation and the presence of Bap were not interrelated, indicating that biofilm formation was not regulated by a single factor. The MDR rate and the presence of OmpA and Bap showed a positive association (P<0.05). The isolates co-harbouring different carbapenem resistance genes were the predominant biofilm producers, which will seriously limit the therapeutic options suggesting the need for stric...

Ocular morbidity among children (aged 6-18 yr) of the tribal area of Melghat, India: A community-based study
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of refractive error and VAD in this study was significantly higher than the rest of India and the world. For the prevention of childhood blindness, immediate intervention programme, including eye screening by trained paramedics, treatment by an ophthalmologist and prophylaxis, is crucial.PMID:38006342 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.ijmr_3228_21 (Source: Indian J Med Res)

Early prediction of pre-eclampsia using circulating placental exosomes: Newer insights
Indian J Med Res. 2023 Oct 9. doi: 10.4103/ijmr.ijmr_2143_22. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPre-eclampsia (PE), a multifactorial de novo hypertensive pregnancy disorder, is one of the leading causes of foeto-maternal morbidity and mortality. Currently, antihypertensive drugs are the first-line therapy for PE and evidence suggests that low-dose aspirin initiated early in high risk pregnancies may reduce the risk of development or severity of PE. However, an early prediction of this disorder remains an unmet clinical challenge. Several potential serum biomarkers associated with maternal immunoregulation and placental angioge...
