Evaluation of liver segmental dose threshold for hepatocyte regeneration following liver stereotactic body radiation therapy
CONCLUSIONS: We propose from the findings of this study that in SBRT for large hepatocellular cancer or liver metastases, liver segments should be individually delineated. Furthermore, 3-5 liver segments may be preferentially subjected to <9 Gy to facilitate hepatocyte regeneration. Preferential sparing of uninvolved liver segments may improve outcomes in liver stereotaxyas lower segmental doses were associated with liver regeneration. This may have implications on future liver SBRT planning where segmental doses may be as important as the mean dose.PMID:38442296 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.ijmr_1171_21 (Source: The Indian Journ...

Clinico-epidemiological profiles & amp; outcome of severe malaria in children under-five in the tribal area of Kalahandi, Odisha
CONCLUSIONS: In high endemic areas severe malaria is predominantly a disease of under-five children and is caused by P. falciparum. Clinical manifestations of severe malaria in children can be varied and life-threatening. Primary health facilities can manage severe malaria successfully, thereby reducing child mortality. Effective collaboration between malaria control and nutrition intervention programmes is essential for appropriate case management.PMID:38439122 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.ijmr_3302_21 (Source: The Indian Journal of Medical Research)

Determinants of depression in Indian tribal adults: Evidence from the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India Wave-I survey
CONCLUSIONS: Given the substantial burden of depression among the adult ST population, the present study lays emphasis on raising the awareness about depressive symptoms and strengthen the availability of mental health services among the ST community through intensive campaigns and engagement of ST individuals along with other key stakeholders. Higher education, living with spouse and children and a physically active lifestyle can play a crucial role in limiting depressive symptoms among the tribal adults (≥45 yr). It is paramount to regularly screen depressive symptoms and conduct more microlevel studies to evaluate soc...

Survey of the present health & amp; nutritional status of Shompen tribe of Great Nicobar Island
CONCLUSIONS: The population structure of the Shompen is not skewed and under nutrition was not widely prevalent among the children of <5 yr. The other positive observations were the absence of malaria, filariasis and dengue. However, there was natural infection of measles and rubella. Fungal skin infection and intestinal parasitic infestations were widely prevalent. Although cardiovascular risk profile was low, there were signs of emerging risk of over-weight, hypertension and dyslipidaemia. These together with the high prevalence of smokeless tobacco use may have a serious effect on the cardiovascular disease susceptib...

Clinical effectiveness of ferric carboxymaltose (iv) versus iron sucrose (iv) in treatment of iron deficiency anaemia in pregnancy: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Intravenous FCM is effective and safer than intravenous IS in terms of haematological parameters, in treating IDA in pregnancy. Further research is required on the effects of iv FCM and iv IS on the pregnancy and neonatal outcomes when used for treating IDA in pregnancy.PMID:38439125 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.ijmr_246_23 (Source: The Indian Journal of Medical Research)
