Cost estimation of COVID Kavach test developed in 2020: A National Reference Laboratory initiative during early phase of Indian pandemic mitigation
CONCLUSIONS: The estimates from this study can be useful for conducting economic evaluations, which will help in deciding upon the subsidy in government health facilities. The data may be useful to set up laboratory facilities analogous to the National Reference Laboratory located at the ICMR-NIV, Pune and for allotting sufficient budget to develop such assays in government-funded laboratories.PMID:37988033 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.ijmr_2533_22 (Source: The Indian Journal of Medical Research)

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...

Factors associated with unexplained sudden deaths among adults aged 18-45 years in India - A multicentric matched case-control study
CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19 vaccination did not increase the risk of unexplained sudden death among young adults in India. Past COVID-19 hospitalization, family history of sudden death and certain lifestyle behaviors increased the likelihood of unexplained sudden death.PMID:37988028 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.ijmr_2105_23 (Source: The Indian Journal of Medical Research)
