A prospective analysis of risk factors for pediatric burn mortality at a tertiary burn center in North India
No full textAbstract Background None of the available mortality predicting models in pediatric burns precisely predicts outcomes in every population. Mortality rates as well as their risk factors vary with regions and among different centers within the regions. The aim of this study was to identify socio-demographic and clinical risk factors for mortality in pediatric burns in an effort to decrease the mortality in these patients. Methods A prospective analytical study was conducted in patients up to the age of 18 years admitted for burn injuries in a tertiary care burn center in India from January to December 2014. Clinical and demographic data was collected through questionnaire-interview and patient follow-up during their stay in the hospital. Univariate and multivariate firth logistic regression was used to identify various risk factors for mortality in pediatric burns. Results A total of 475 patients were admitted during the study period. Overall mortality was 31.3% (n = 149) in this study. Mean age of the patients who died was 8.68 years. Of the 149 deaths, 74 were males and 75 were females (male to female ratio = 0.98). Mean total body surface area (TBSA) involved of the patients who expired was 62%. Inhalational injury was seen in 15.5% (n = 74) of pediatric burn admissions. Mortality was significantly higher (74.3%) in patients with inhalation injury. Mortality was highest in patients with isolates of Acinetobacter + Klebsiella (58.3%), followed by Pseudomonas + Klebsiella (53.3%), Acinetobacter (31.5%), and Pseudomonas (26.3%) (p < 0.0005). Factors found to be significant on univariate firth analysis were older age, female gender, suicidal burns, higher TBSA, presence of inhalation injury, increased depth of burn, and positive microbial cultures. On multivariate analysis, higher TBSA was identified as an independent risk factor for mortality. The adjusted odds ratios for TBSA involvement was 21.706 (25.1-50%), 136.195 (50.1-75%), and 1019.436 (75.1-100%), respectively. Conclusion TBSA is the most important factor predicting mortality in pediatric burns. The higher the TBSA, the higher is the risk of mortality. Other significant risk factors for mortality are female gender, deeper burns, positive wound cultures, and inhalation injury. Risk of mortality was significantly lower in children who belonged to urban areas, nuclear family, who sustained burn injury in the last quarter of the year, and who stayed in the hospital for longer period
The development and maintenance of immunity against visceral leishmaniasis
No full textUnderstanding the development and maintenance of immunological memory is important for efforts to eliminate parasitic diseases like leishmaniasis. Leishmaniasis encompasses a range of pathologies, resulting from infection with protozoan parasites belonging to the subgenera Leishmania and Viannia of the genus Leishmania. A striking feature of these infections is that natural or drug-mediated cure of infection generally confers life-long protection against disease. The generation of protective T cell responses are necessary to control Leishmania infections. CD4+ T helper (Th) cells orchestrate immune responses in leishmaniasis and IFNγ+ Tbet+ CD4+ T (Th1) cells are required for the activation of phagocytes to kill captured or resident parasites, while other Th cell subset, including FoxP3+ natural regulatory T cells and Th2 cells can promote disease progression by suppressing the activities of Th1 cells. Upon resolution of a primary Leishmania infection, different subsets of CD4+ T cells, including tissue-resident memory T cells, effector memory T cells, central memory T cells, and short-lived effector T cells, help to confer resistance against reinfection. To maintain long-term protective Leishmania-specific CD4+ T cells responses, it is believed that persistent parasites or re-exposure to parasites at regular intervals is required (concomitant immunity). Despite the advances in our understanding about the immune responses during leishmaniasis, the generation of long-lasting protective immunity via vaccination has yet to be achieved. In this review, we summarize our current understanding about the formation and maintenance of immunological memory and control of leishmaniasis at the individual and population level. We will focus on Indian visceral leishmaniasis and discuss T cell responses that contribute to susceptibility to leishmaniasis, parasite persistence in populations and the environment, as well as describing advances in the development of leishmaniasis vaccines aimed at inducing protective CD4+ T cell responses.Full Tex
A review on current status of radioactivity monitoring in Indian nonnuclear industries
No full textThe distribution of naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) generated/discharged in nonnuclear industries such as coal combustion residuals from different coal-based power plants, fertilizer, construction, tobacco, and other industries into the environment, has not been reviewed in the Indian context. In the present review, systematic survey and analysis of the reported occurrence of U238, Th232, and K40 in these nonnuclear industrial sectors is discussed. Most of the data compiled and described in this review are sourced from major popularly referred, peer-reviewed scientific journal publications since the year 2005. Apart from radioactivity levels in products from nonnuclear industrial sectors different radiological indices such as absorbed dose, dose rate, etc., are also compared and discussed. Overall, this review presents a comprehensive analysis of NORMs in nonnuclear industrial sectors of India
Smart Cities in India:A Bibliometric Analysis
No full textSmart cities have attained global popularity in the last decade. The present study attempts to find the trends of smart city research in India by exploring existing literature on this theme. Year-wise, author-wise, citation-wise, affiliation-wise, keywords-wise, country-wise and source-wise listing of literature are the parameters to conduct present study. Bibliometric method on Scopus database is employed. The research focus was determined by keyword co-occurrence using VOSviewer.</p
