AbstractObjectiveTo establish a laboratory iodization quality assurance system to support small-scale salt production facilities in India and to assess the level of agreement for the internal quality assurance (IQA) and external quality assurance (EQA) protocols.DesignOperational research. The IQA and EQA programme was established in the year 2008. Agreement between field laboratories and the reference laboratory for estimation of iodine content of salt from 2008 to 2011 was assessed. Agreement was assessed using the χ2 test, kappa statistics and the Bland–Altman plot.SettingSmall-scale salt producers in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Odisha and Karnataka; ‘field laboratories’ supporting the small-scale salt producers; and the ‘reference laboratory’ of the Regional Office (South Asia) of the International Council for the Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders.SubjectsThree hundred small-scale salt producers in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Odisha and Karnataka and seventeen ‘field laboratories’.ResultsA total of 6573 salt samples for IQA and 347 salt samples for EQA were exchanged between field and reference laboratories during 2008–2012. Out of the total salt sample exchanges, 527 were from Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, 2343 from Gujarat, 2016 from Rajasthan and 1677 from Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The overall between-laboratory agreement was for 61·6 % for IQA and 64·8 % for EQA. The mean difference between iodine content estimation of field laboratories and the reference laboratory was 0·3 ppm (sd 8·2 ppm) for IQA and –0·3 ppm (sd 3·5 ppm) for EQA.ConclusionsOur study successfully documents implementation of a laboratory iodization quality assurance protocol in laboratories supporting small-scale salt production facilities in India.

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Literature on acute myeloid Leukemia (AML) from low and middle income countries (LMIC) like India indicate lower uptake of intensive treatment (29%) and higher induction mortality (25%) (Philip C, BJH 2015). This is attributable to delayed presentation, higher infection burden, multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO) infections, poor nutritional status, access to care, and high costs driven by 'out-of-pocket expenditures', among other reasons. AIM: To determine the clinical profile, cause and costs of care of patients who die during Induction therapy of newly diagnosed AML. METHODOLOGY: This is a retrospective chart review of newly diagnosed AML patients who died during Induction therapy. Induction mortality was defined as death within 60 days from the date of initiation of therapy for newly diagnosed AML. Secondary and therapy related AML were excluded from the study. Demographic and clinical profiling and analyses of the cause of death was undertaken. RESULTs: Between May 2011-Dec 2019, 825 adult patients were registered with newly diagnosed AML. 455 (55.2%) patients discontinued care primarily due to financial constraints, and 370 (44.8%) continued treatment here. Among these (n=370), 275 (74.3%) chose to receive standard or abbreviated intensive therapy (Group A), 58 (15.7%) chose disease control only with continuous less-intensive regimens like hypomethylating agents (Group B) and 37 (10%) chose palliation and best supportive care (Group C). Median age was 55y (20-84) overall, and 39.5y, 67.5y and 69y respectively in groups A, B and C. Females were 59% of the cohort. The overall induction mortality was 13.78% (n=51). Independently, induction mortality was 9.4% (26/275) in Group A, 24.13% (14/58) in Group B and 29.72% (11/37) in Group C, with a yearly trend suggesting a decrease in Group A (Fig 1) in the last 3 years. The most common cause of death was sepsis, 92.1% (n=47), with or without a bleeding episode. Isolated bleeding episodes were accountable for 4% (n=2) of overall deaths, and disease progression in the rest (n=2). Disease burden at presentation (% blasts in peripheral blood and marrow respectively, median values): 40% & 55% in Group A, 47% & 55% Group B, and 60% & 61% in group C. ELN 2017 risk grouping: 16% standard risk (n=8), 51% intermediate risk (n=26) & 33% high risk (n=17). 33% (n=17) had a lung infection at baseline and this was the commonest source of sepsis. Stool and throat surveillance cultures revealed MDRO (carbapenem resistant enterobacteriaceae) in 47% (n=15/32 tests) and 33% (n=7/21 tests) patients, respectively. 74.5% (n=38/51) developed blood culture positive infections during induction therapy. The median number of days to culture positivity was 11 days overall, 13 days in Group A (n=22), 3 in group B (n=13) and 1 day in Group C (n=3). The most common blood culture-detected organism was MDRO Carbapenem resistant Klebsiella (n=12). Imaging detected fungal infection was observed in 47% (n=24). The common antibiotic regimens included meropenem and colistin, with voriconazole being the most common antifungal used. The median ICU stay was 3.5 days (range of 0-24 days) in Group A and 1.5 days (range 0-13) in Group B. The median direct hospital costs in these patients were $6999 in Group A, $7923 in Group B and $2655 in Group C [per-capita GDP of India in 2019: $2099.6]. CONCLUSIONS: The induction mortality in AML varies with age and the intent of treatment. Younger patients undergoing intensive curative therapies have lesser induction mortality. Sepsis is the most common cause of induction deaths, primarily due to a high disease burden and higher infection burden at presentation, and the presence of MDRO bacteremia. Costs of care are very high and contribute to the high drop out rate from curative therapy of newly diagnosed AML. Figure 1 Figure 1.

Dear Reader, While India has acquired global recognition as a reliable source of high quality, impurity free active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and generic pharmaceuticals, Indian pharmaceutical R&D has to go a long way to enter the global pharmaceutical R&D map. The 2016 OECD report “Measuring Science Technology and Innovation” (https://www.oecd.org/sti/STI-Stats-Brochure.pdf) has a large compilation of data on R&D. India hardly finds a place in this study, except on the use of the internet & IT.As confirmed by the OECD data in 1960, 70% or more of all R&D spend globally was from Government funds. India claims to have the largest chain of R&D laboratories in the world under the CSIR/DSIR umbrella. Between 1960 to 2017, the contribution of CSIR laboratories,including once-reputed laboratories such as CDRI, Lucknow and IIIM, Jammu, to pharmaceutical research has only gone down.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The demand for Diagnostic Centers in India is propelled by changes in culture, increase in population, rise in infectious disease, increase in healthcare expenditure and rising adoption of preventive health check-ups. The Private diagnostic market in India has limited number of organized players and the overall market is driven by unorganized laboratories. The Diagnostic Imaging equipments such as X-ray, CT (Computed Tomography) Scanner and BMD (Bone Mineral Densitometer) need to be handled with utmost care as they have human made ionizing radiation exposure risks. India is one of the largest consumers of refurbished diagnostic imaging equipments and the beneficiaries include Diagnostic Centers, Corporate Hospitals and Chain of Diagnostic Laboratories. The Atomic Energy Regulatory Body (AERB) in India regulates the usage of diagnostic imaging equipments by evolving policies and procedures to be strictly followed by Diagnostic Centers for containing excessive radiation. The changes in procurement policy made by AERB in September 2015 have restricted importing of used diagnostic imaging equipments up to a maximum of 7 years. This regulatory change has triggered a research question, Diagnostic Laboratories - Are these Radiation Safe? This research was conducted with the objective of assessing whether diagnostic centers follow the best practices mandated by AERB. The researcher has conducted a very structured assessment on AERB compliance using 7 different parameters namely, Regulatory, Layout Engineering, Technician Competency, Human Safety, Operations Knowhow, Radiation Exposure Monitoring and Top Management Commitment. This study was conducted in 192 diagnostic centers across multiple cities in Tamil Nadu, with a structured questionnaire contained 34 questions. Based on the responses received on the actual practices followed by diagnostic centers to contain Radiation risk, Radiological Compliance Index (RCI) was estimated. The analysis has revealed that Top Management Commitment was very low with a RCI score of 2.02 (Moderate Presence of AERB recommended best practices) and Operations “Know-Know” was high with a score of 4.40 (High Presence of AERB recommended best practices). The comparative analysis of RCI between National Accreditation Board for testing and Laboratories (NABL) accredited (RCI Score 3.19) and Non NABL (RCI Score 3.18) diagnostic centers has indicated that the accreditation did not significantly influence the compliance. The Pearson correlation co-efficient has established moderately positive correlation with Revenue (+ 0.321) & Patient Queue size (+0.293) on RCI. This study has concluded with sufficient evidence and analysis that Private Diagnostic Centers need to focus on appointing Radiation Safety Officer, monitoring radiation exposure dosage, periodical equipment service, continuous training of their staff and periodical QA tests for equipment fitness in order to achieve significant regulatory compliance maturity levels. This research has further recommended similar research in private diagnostic laboratories in other states in India and comparative analysis of compliance to AERB guide lines between Government Hospitals and Private Diagnostic Centers.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
History of citrus growing in northeast India is as old as the tradition of citrus as its natural home of citrus hots-spots. Unfortunately, citrus of late is being tagged highly uncomfortable in its natural homeyard in northeast India, with some exceptions in Garo hills of Meghalaya and Pasighat of Arunachal Pradesh. Multiple nutrient deficiencies backed up by staggering nutrient mining have made citrus suffer from both production as well as quality issues, besides other issues of early onset of citrus decline and reduced post -harvest shelf life. Such depleted production incentives have put citrus growing on back-foot. Distinct absence of nutrient diagnostics coupled with lack of balanced fertilization have further hiked the miseries of citrus growers in the region. Citrus -based Soil health Card is another missing link putting citrus growers always managing their citrus orchards with complete guess-work, a complete sorry-state-of-affair, unless something too early and too quickly is done in this direction before it becomes too late and too little. Research need a complete reorientation in their objectivity of citrus nutrition with an eye on organic citrus integrating agroecological considerations using strictly adopted on-farm citrus module coupled with contingency irrigation planning by holding surplus rainwater.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
In the early twentieth century, nutrition was a developing science, emerging at the intersection of physiological questions and the public health concerns and approaches embodied by the field of hygiene. Its rising status as an independent research field converged with the growing self-confidence of American physiology and with the expansion of international scientific communities. In these crucial decades for American physiology, Francis Gano Benedict, director of the Carnegie Nutrition Laboratory, made seven extended tours of European laboratories that specialized in the study of nutrition, biocalorimetry, metabolism, and respiration gas analysis. The reports of his tours show the strategies and challenges of establishing a new laboratory with leadership intentions in the international arena and of creating and coordinating a community of researchers across the boundaries of language, politics, laboratories, and methods.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
ABSTRACT There is increasing appreciation that dietary components influence and interact with genes important to metabolism. How such influences impact developmental regulation and programming or risks of chronic diseases remains unclear. Nutrition is recognized to affect development and chronic diseases, but our understanding about how genes essential to nutrient metabolism regulate development and impact risks of these diseases remains unclear. Historically, mammalian models, especially rodents such as rats and mice, have been the primary models used for nutrition and developmental nutrition science, although their complexity and relatively slow rate of development often compromise rapid progress in resolving fundamental, genetic-related questions. Accordingly, the objective of this review is to highlight the opportunities for developmental models in the context of uncovering the function of gene products that are relevant to human nutrition and provide the scientific bases for these opportunities. We present recent studies in zebrafish related to obesity as applications of developmental models in nutritional science. Although the control of external factors and dependent variables, such as nutrition, can be a challenge, suggestions for standardizations related to diet are made to improve consistency in findings between laboratories. The review also highlights the need for standardized diets across different developmental models, which could improve consistency in findings across laboratories. Alternative and developmental animal models have advantages and largely untapped potential for the advancement of nutrigenomics and nutritionally relevant research areas.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Vectors of malaria, filaria, dengue, chikungunya, zika, japanese encephalitis, and kala-azar play an important role in the disease transmission in different eco-settings with variable climatic conditions. Ticks, mites, and fleas also pose a threat to new emerging and re-emerging vector-borne diseases, i.e. Kyasanur Forest Disease (KFD), Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF), scrub typhus, and other rickettsioses. Now, the time has come that field oriented entomological work has to shift from open, field based towards closed medical entomological laboratories for undertaking molecular research and pathogen/ virus detection among vector species handling them by minimising human risks. It is imperative to note that there is a strong need for a standard protocol for effective medical entomological laboratory practices while handling the pathogen carrying vector species under laboratory conditions. This may help to prevent the transmission of pathogens/ viruses in case of accidental release of vectors carrying pathogens/ viruses from the entomology laboratories. Such protocols would always help the scientists to minimise risks working in closed conditions. Though, there are guidelines/ procedures available for developing medical entomology laboratory, having facilities for insect rearing, its handling and equipment, however, no specific published protocol or guidelines exist presently in the Indian context. In the present manuscript, the need for a standard protocol for arthropod containment levels (ACLs 1- 4) along with the appropriate bio-safety levels based on the risk potential of pathogen carried by the vector species has been discussed for its application at the ground by the respective health authorities/ institutions.The presence of Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs) and guidelines on Good Medical Entomology Laboratory Practices (GMELP) would help the professionals working in a medical entomology laboratory to minimise risks. There is a need to develop and follow Good Medical Entomology Laboratory Practices (GMELP) for handling the vectors (Arthropods) carrying the pathogens/ viruses at the national/ state/ district level as well as by the research institutes, medical colleges, and universities. The present concept note shall help to provide a guiding principle to develop standard operating procedure (SoP)/ Guidelines for GMELP.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to formulate the strategy for improving the laboratory practices to enhance customer satisfaction by analyzing the performance of critical factors of IS/ISO/IEC 17025 (2005) laboratory accreditation and the importance attached by the quality/technical managers in the accredited Indian testing/calibration laboratories. Design/methodology/approach The perceptions of the critical factors of laboratory accreditation and the importance attached by the quality/technical managers in their organizations have been collected and analyzed to develop an importance-performance analysis (IPA) model to enhance the customer satisfaction. Findings Findings report that the performance of the critical factors and the importance assigned to them are not the same. There exist gaps between the performance and importance which need to be measured and analyzed by the management to strive toward continual improvement to enhance the customer satisfaction through the accredited testing and calibration services. Research limitations/implications This study is restricted to 54 responses out of 150 which were sent (i.e. about 36 percent response rate) to capture the perspectives of the quality/technical managers. Practical implications This study would enable the accredited laboratories to analyze the gap in performance and the importance assigned to critical factors through the feedback from the quality/technical managers. By analyzing the strengths and weaknesses in the accredited testing/calibration laboratories, managerial decisions and strategic plans can be proposed to gain greater insights into benchmarking improvement of the laboratory quality management system with the existing resources to strive toward customer satisfaction. Originality/value This paper proposes IPA as a tool to assess the gap between the importance and performance of critical factors of accredited testing and calibration laboratories in India.

The research focused on how university students in Lagos State may improve their entrepreneurship abilities through creativity and critical thinking. Survey research design was used. The study's population was 114, which included 14 Home Economics teachers teaching Food and Nutrition courses, 40 Senior Staff of Nigeria's Small and Medium Enterprise Development Agency, and 60 Home Economics students. There was no sampling since the population was small. For data gathering, a questionnaire was employed. The data were examined using mean and standard deviation. Findings revealed that in-service training for lecturers, proper integration of practical with theory in teaching foods and nutrition, and curriculum review in foods and nutrition programs to instil entrepreneurial skills that will meet the needs of students, among others. The difficulties in acquiring entrepreneurial skills via creative and critical learning included the fact that most higher institutions do not have foods and nutrition laboratories, and there are few vocational foods and nutrition specialists. Findings also revealed that arousing attention and retention among university students by presenting learning objectives through qualified lecturers, facilitating students' awareness of the expected learning outcomes, and providing learners feedback on exercises and activities carried out in the food laboratories are ways of reducing challenges to enhancing entrepreneurial skills through creativity and critical thinking. The recommendation includes that there should be regular training and re-training programs for Food and Nutrition teachers in the form of seminars and workshops.

Purpose The authors investigate the relationship between the structure and the functioning of scientific and technical (S&T) personnel and the quality research and development (R&D) performance output of laboratories functioning under the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), India. The purpose of this paper is to examine how rapid economic and social changes and the demand for better accountability are addressed by public R&D institutions in a specific developing economy. Design/methodology/approach The authors use the functions performed by the S&T personnel as indicators of their tacit knowledge. The authors use data from 27 different CSIR laboratories to analyze the specific functions carried out by knowledge workers (S&T personnel) in order to gauge the internal strengths and weaknesses of individual laboratories in different functional areas. The authors use the following measures to tap the quality R&D performance of these laboratories – number of Indian patents filed and granted, number of foreign patents filed and granted, and the number of published papers figuring among the top 50 CSIR publications in specific research areas over an extended period of 11 years (2003-2004 to 2013-2014). Findings The findings show that there is no readymade formula for identifying improvements in quality performance by a research laboratory, given a particular set of S&T worker profile in terms of the six functions defined in the study. The top-performing laboratories have excellent patent as well as publication record reinforcing the point that innovation encompasses both basic and applied research with success depending upon strategically emphasizing the different components of the innovation process. Research limitations/implications The scope of the present research work is limited by the choice of the quality R&D performance measures adopted in the study that could be further expanded to better tap the social accountability of these public-funded institutions. In addition, inclusion of all CSIR laboratories in the study framework would add value to the study findings. The research highlights the importance of tacit knowledge management and organizational learning as central features of strategic organization development for technology practices incorporating R&D work, the support of pilot plants, experimental field stations, and engineering and design units. Practical implications The paper has particular implications for the leadership and management of public R&D organizations and public policy formulation for innovation in an emerging developing economy context. Originality/value This study extends the extant literature by drawing upon the role of tacit knowledge and organizational learning to inform the empirical research on managing public R&D and the innovations that result from it, in a particular emerging economy context, that is, India.

This study examines the contributions of women scientists currently working in various research organizations under the Ministry of Science and Technology, India. Women scientists were identified through the official websites of the research laboratories and their publication performance has been tracked using the Scopus database. There are 901 women scientists working in 78 research organizations under the Ministry and have published 21810 publications up to December 2019, almost 65 percent of which has been appeared during 2010 to 2019. The publication per scientist has risen from 6.85 article per year before 2000 to 10.45 paper in 2015-2019 which indicates increasing participation of women in science from India. Women scientists are primarily engaged in biological sciencesresearch, however fields such as materials sciences, nano-technology, and astrophysics are also becoming the preferred subject choices among women. Women scientists mostly published their articles as a member of a team of utmost 10 authors, however, their position in multi-authored articles is mostly as co-authors than that of principal authors. Women in the age group ofbetween31 to 40 produced maximum publications, and almost 98 percent of publications appeared in collaboration with other scientists.This study confirms that publication productivity does not decline with age. There are women scientists who stay active in research and keep their productivity at a high level until their retirement. The study suggests that the increasing participation of women in Indian science is encouraging, as such more funding opportunities to younger women researchers may be important to give them more lead time to build a strong career.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Vitamin D is a micronutrient with pleiotropic effects in humans. Due to sedentary lifestyles and increasing time spent indoors, a growing body of research is revealing that vitamin D deficiency is a global problem. Despite the routine measurement of vitamin D in clinical laboratories and many years of efforts, methods of vitamin D analysis have yet to be standardized and are burdened with significant difficulties. This review summarizes several key analytical and clinical challenges that accompany the current methods for measuring vitamin D. According to an external quality assessment, methods and laboratories still produce a high degree of variability. Structurally similar metabolites are a source of significant interference. Furthermore, there is still no consensus on the normal values of vitamin D in a healthy population. These and other problems discussed herein can be a source of inconsistency in the results of research studies.

Exploring linkages between agriculture, nutrition and human health has become an emerging field of research. Literature shows us both positive and negative externalities of agriculture on nutrition and health. Hence, the first step towards exploring agriculture–nutrition linkages would be ‘establishing’ the relationship between agriculture and nutrition, and thereby human health. This study, while doesn’t explicitly model and estimate complex linkages, attempts to study the direction, strength and magnitude of agriculture on nutritional status in rural India. Using a panel data covering 1991–2012, the study explores the linkages at two stages. Analysis indicates a ‘positive causality’ of agriculture on human nutrition and the ordinary least squares estimates provide evidence for it. Fixed effects estimates confirm the ‘positive causality’ after controlling for the effects of several factors. The study concludes that agriculture has a significant positive influence on nutrition, and thereby on health.

Abstract Introduction: Pomalidomide is a third-generation immunomodulatory drug approved for relapsed and/or refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM). In the phase 3 OPTIMISMM trial, pomalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone demonstrated superior efficacy in patients with RRMM. PRIME study (CTRI/2019/10/021618) is testing this combination in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (NDMM) Aim: To determine safety of Pomalidomide in combination with Bortezomib and dexamethasone (VPD) in NDMM Study design: A prospective, single arm, phase II study from a tertiary center. Both transplant eligible and ineligible patients with NDMM aged between 18-70 years are being recruited in the study. Patients with Plasma cell leukemia, POEMS and amyloidosis were excluded. The regimen consists of weekly Bortezomib 1.3mg/sq.m (subcutaneous), Tab. Pomalidomide 2-4mg once daily for 21days, and Tab Dexamethasone 20mg twice weekly, with the cycle repeating every 28 days, 9-12 cycles. Here we report the adverse events (AE) by NCI CTCAE v5.0, upon recruiting 26 patients, as predetermined in the study. Results: Of the proposed 45-50 patients, 26 patients were enrolled in the study between April 2020 to May 2021 and 23 (88.4%) have completed 4 cycles of VPD. The median age is 55years (18-70), and gender ratio 1:1. At disease presentation, bone lesions were the commonest (96.2%, n=25), IMWG high risk cytogenetics were seen in 42.4% (n=11), RISS-2 in 69.3% (n=18), IgG kappa paraproteinemia in 54% (n=14) patients and ECOG performance score 2-3 in 57.6%(n=15). Ten (38.5%) patients have completed 9 cycles, and 3 underwent auto-transplant (between Cycle 4 & 6). Protocol adherence was 96.1% (25/26 patients). Table-1 shows drug-induced toxicity, hematological toxicities were the commonest. Two patients withdrew consent in view of bortezomib-induced peripheral neuropathy. Serious adverse events (SAE) were reported in 9 (34.6%) patients and were considered unrelated to the regimen by the safety committee (PSVT=1, Bony pain=2, dyspnea=1, pneumonia=1, constipation=1, diarrhea=1, hypotension=1) and one death due to SARS-CoV2 pneumonia. Treatment delays of 2 weeks in 4 patients (SARS-CoV2 = 3, Syncope = 1) After 4 cycles (n=23), 6 (26%) patients were in stringent Complete Response (sCR), 17(74%) in Very Good partial response (VGPR) and 13 (56.5%) are Measurable Residual Disease (MRD) negative. Of 10 patients who completed cycle 9, 9 were MRD negative and 1 showed disease progression. Conclusion: Safety data from the PRIME study demonstrates that VPD regimen has a favorable tolerance profile in patients with NDMM. Early efficacy signals are encouraging, and recruitment continues.

AbstractChanges unleashed by liberalization and globalization acquire great significance in the context of India as a result of its economy formerly being inward-looking for decades. Here is a bird's eye view of certain trend developments in the technological regime in India that now characterize an outward-looking economy. Such changes are perceived as a threefold articulation: reorienting the industrial research laboratories, particularly the public-funded ones; reshaping technological research in academics; and adapting to competition through technological changes in industry, particularly in the manufacturing sector. The paper brings out the unfolding technological dynamism experienced by a developing economy, with its industrial capitalism only recently integrated through globalization. It shows how the technological regime is adapting to hard conditions via the emergence of globalization.

Nutrition informatics (NI) is the effective retrieval, organization, storage, and optimum use of information, data and knowledge for food-and-nutrition-related problem-solving and decision-making. There is a growing opportunity to facilitate technology-enabled behavioral change interventions to support NI research and practice. This paper highlights the changing landscape of food and nutrition practices in India to prepare a NI workforce that could provide some valuable tools to address the double burden of nutrition. Management and interpretation of data could help clarify the relationships and interrelationships of diet and disease in India on both national and regional levels. Individuals with expertise in food and nutrition may receive training in informatics to develop national informatics systems. NI professionals develop tools and techniques, manage various projects and conduct informatics research. These professionals should be well prepared to work in technological settings and communicate data and information effectively. Opportunities for training in NI are very limited in developing countries. Given the current progress in developing platforms and informatics infrastructure, India could serve as an example to other countries to promote NI to support achieving SDGs and other public health initiatives.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Background As per national policy, all diagnosed tuberculosis patients in India are to be tested using Xpert® MTB/RIF assay at the district level to diagnose rifampicin resistance. Regardless of the result, samples are transported to the reference laboratories for further testing: first-line Line Probe Assay (FL-LPA) for rifampicin-sensitive samples and second-line LPA(SL-LPA) for rifampicin-resistant samples. Based on the results, samples undergo culture and phenotypic drug susceptibility testing. We assessed among patients diagnosed with tuberculosis at 13 selected Xpert laboratories of Karnataka state, India, i) the proportion whose samples reached the reference laboratories and among them, proportion who completed the diagnostic algorithm ii) factors associated with non-reaching and non-completion and iii) the delays involved. Methods This was a cohort study involving review of programme records. For each TB patient diagnosed between 1st July and 31st August 2018 at the Xpert laboratory, we tracked the laboratory register at the linked reference laboratory until 30th September (censor date) using Nikshay ID (a unique patient identifier), phone number, name, age and sex. Results Of 1660 TB patients, 1208(73%) samples reached the reference laboratories and among those reached, 1124(93%) completed the algorithm. Of 1590 rifampicin-sensitive samples, 1170(74%) reached and 1104(94%) completed the algorithm. Of 64 rifampicin-resistant samples, only 35(55%) reached and 17(49%) completed the algorithm. Samples from rifampicin-resistant TB, extra-pulmonary TB and two districts were less likely to reach the reference laboratory. Non-completion was more likely among rifampicin-resistant TB and sputum-negative samples. The median time for conducting and reporting results of Xpert® MTB/RIF was one day, of FL-LPA 5 days and of SL-LPA16 days. Conclusion These findings are encouraging given the complexity of the algorithm. High non-reaching and non-completion rates in rifampicin-resistant patients is a major concern. Future research should focus on understanding the reasons for the gaps identified using qualitative research methods.

AbstractObjectiveIndia spans the spectrum of under- and overnutrition disorders and does so in generous proportions. India also tops the charts globally in the prevalence of risk factors for several chronic diseases. Although Public Health Nutrition (PHN) – both as an academic field as well as a means to improved health – has been around for two centuries in developed countries, it is only now coming to the fore as a conduit for tackling nutrition-related disorders in developing countries. In the light of these issues, we undertook an exercise to map the existing educational initiatives for nutrition, and in particular PHN, in India.DesignThis situational analysis of PHN across India was conducted using a combination of Internet search, telephone calls as well as interviews with experts. Information collected was pooled and tabulated using a snowball approach.SettingIndia.SubjectsNot applicable.ResultsCurrently, there are nearly 190 institutes in India that offer one or more nutrition courses, with the majority offering full-time courses. Of these, PHN was offered in less than five institutes across India and opportunities were confined to specialization options/modules.ConclusionsThis situational analysis reveals the huge gap in existing nutrition ventures and points towards the urgent need to undertake newer academic initiatives especially in the field of PHN in India. Reforms in the education and employment sector need to be brought in which may include working towards making the field of nutrition attractive for career pursuit. The focus of this discipline needs to be broadened to, but not limited to, span the entire spectrum from dietetics to research and teaching. Strong synergistic collaborations and academic partnerships with other developed countries should be encouraged to catalyse finding solutions to emerging and/or existing threats to public health problems.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) indicates that academic laboratories are 11 times more dangerous than the industrial sectors. The nutrition laboratory is a place that has a high potential to cause fire because there are cooking activities, where these activities are very risky because they deal directly with fire and gas cylinders there. If the gas cylinder has a leak, it can cause a fire risk. This study aims to look at the preparedness of fire disaster management in the Nutrition Laboratory at University X in Semarang city. The research design used in this research was a descriptive qualitative. There were 3 informants, namely the person in charge of the nutrition laboratory and 2 students of the Nutrition Study Program. Data collection techniques used in this research was in-depth interviews. The results showed that the nutrition laboratory at University X in Semarang city already had management related to fire prevention such as the availability of fire extinguishers, evacuation routes, and assembly points. It is recommended that related parties complete active and passive protection systems, improve fire prevention teams, train and socialize, and conduct regular testing of active protection facilities in the Nutrition Laboratory.

Purpose The importance of nutraceuticals and functional foods has been a topic of interest in nutrition research for many years. This review aims to summarize the findings on the nutritive value and health benefits of chia, as well as its use as a food fortificant. Design/methodology/approach Published literature on the nutritive value and therapeutic properties of chia has been reviewed. Findings Chia, an ancient grain, belongs to the mint family (Lamiaceae) and was cultivated in Mexico and Guatemala by the Mayas and Aztecs of a pre-Columbian era. In addition to being gluten-free, chia seeds are concentrated source of omega-3 fatty acids (mainly α-linolenic acid), fiber (insoluble) and polyphenolic compounds (myricetin, quercetin, kaempferol, chlorogenic and caffeic acids), which were found to be comparatively higher than many other grains, cereals and oily seeds. Chia supplementation has potential to lower incidence of cardiovascular disease, obesity, hypertension, cancer, diabetes, pruritus and celiac disease. Because of its nutraceutical and physiochemical properties, chia has been widely used as a whole seed, flour, seed mucilage, gel and oil for developing various enriched food products, such as bread, pasta, cakes, cookies, chips, cheese, yoghurt, meat, fish and poultry. Originality/value With advancement in nutrition research, chia would have a great future perspective as feed, food and medicine. However, further research is needed to validate the potential therapeutic effect of chia supplementation on human health.

This paper assess food security in India especially in rural area where food security condition is far behind. India is one of countries suffering from food insecurity that leads to nutrition insecurity. To achieve food security is not about how much food being produced, or analyzed the availability of food but also about food utility, a condition where everyone can achieve food nutrition with amount of food being produced. So, food security is also about how people can buy food in adequate price and accessible to free from malnutrition and obtain good dietary for healthy life, the utility of food. Therefore, if we want to achieve food security, this is important to provide high nutrition food with affordably price rather than provide high food production but people have no access to it. Therefore, this paper assess India problem in food security, impact and solutions, Which on food security in household level. This research is a qualitative research utilizes library research to gather and analyses the data. It found that, India food security problem mostly occurs in rural area which cause malnutrition therefore, to achieve food security in India, the government combines government programs with household and women programs such as giving subsidy for small and poor household, giving food to children and subsidizing grain for farmers and create home garden.

India is undergoing a demographic transition where the unprecedented increase in percentage of elderly population is posing new public health challenges. Malnutrition increases health risks in the older population but the majority of research in elderly nutrition focuses on the aspect of under nutrition while over nutrition remains largely ignored. Over nutrition comprising over weight and obesity substantially reduces the likelihood of healthy ageing. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review is to estimate the status of over nutrition among elderly population of India. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar to identify relevant articles published during 2012 to 2022 following standard protocol and search terms. A total of 26 articles which were found to be relevant were analysed. Body mass index (BMI) based over nutrition is becoming a prevalent condition among the elderly of India. It was found more prevalent among elderly women compared to their male counterparts. Higher prevalence of over nutrition was found among urban dwelling elderly but its incidence is on rise among rural geriatric population. Overweight and obesity among older adults is a complex nutritional concern. So a holistic approach is needed to address this challenge.

Quality is sine qua non of healthcare services. Laboratory driven Quality Management Systems (QMS) are key to provide quality diagnosis. Missed diagnosis due to laboratory lacunae stymies Tuberculosis (TB) control measures, amplifies morbidity, mortality and, disease transmission. Hence, a pilot was conceptualized with Central TB Division, National TB Elimination Program (NTEP), Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India and Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) to perform baseline assessments for QMS at four laboratories from public and private centers at Delhi and Odisha. Data was collected using a standardized checklist. Scores were compiled for compliance to quality standards for attributes assessed across seven thematic domains. The assessment helped identify current status in terms of performance, processes followed and, areas requiring improvement. TB laboratories were found lacking in human resources and, backup staff that disrupted service delivery. Other gaps included quality aspects in documents, records, process controls in smear microscopy, optimum resource utilization and laboratory safety. Adage for missed TB diagnosis included laboratory errors, failure to document, collect and, test repeat samples for Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests (NAAT), lack of patient centric laboratory signages, equipment handling and, maintenance. Baseline assessments of quality at TB laboratories mainly focused attention on areas of greatest need to ameliorate the health system challenges and, develop roadmaps to accelerate improvement. By adapting to local context, QMS can be enacted through a shared vision in quality care to positively impact TB case finding and, optimize utilization of NAAT for diagnosis thereby setting stage for nationwide adoption and, scaleup.

Purpose Since liberalization in the 1990s, India has witnessed a growth in the number of educated middle-class women in professions. However, there are few women in leadership positions and decision-making bodies. While the earlier notion of the ideal woman as homemaker has been replaced by one which idealizes women of substance, a woman’s role in the family continues to be pivotal and is even viewed as central in defining Indian culture. The purpose of this paper is to analyze how and to what extent gender inequalities are reproduced in the organizations employing educated professionals. Design/methodology/approach Based on the perspective that gender is socially constructed, this paper analyzes gender inequality in Indian organizations through semi-structured interviews of men and women scientists in two private pharmaceutical laboratories. Findings The findings show reproduction of a gendered normative order through two types of norms and practices: one, norms and practices that favor men and second, socio-cultural norms that devalue women in public spaces which help to maintain masculinity in the workplace. Although these practices might be found elsewhere in the world, the manner in which they are enacted reflects national cultural norms. Originality/value The paper highlights how various norms and practices enacted in the specific Indian socio-cultural context construct and maintain masculinity at workplace depriving opportunities to professional women which affect their rise to leadership positions.

Dengue fever has become one of the most significant public health issues in tropical and subtropical countries, including India. Most of the states in India report dengue fever cases during and after the moon soon each year. The affected patients have been at their homes for 4-5 days, either from fever or acute signs of dehydration, low platelets, vomiting, abdominal pain, and fever. Some of these seriously ill patients are admitted to the hospital for IV fluids, hydration, and monitoring of their vital signs. Overall, this brief review is based on data from the World Health Organization, the National Center for Vector Borne Disease Control (NCVBDC, govt. of India), and other relevant portals searched by relevant keywords. This paper’s primary goal is to present and review home-based, low-cost nutrition integrated care for dengue After reviewing the data, the study showed the recent three years of dengue status in all the states of India.Using a mosquito net, paracetamol as a fever-reducing drug, and the best food through a maximum liquid diet are already proven preventive measures against infectionsIn addition to extra water cum electrolyte drinks, all macro and micronutrients are essential proportionally for managing platelet count and boosting immunity against the virus. Sufficient and complete data is needed to do more research in community health and therapeutic nutrition.

Bulb onion (Allium cepa L.) is a challenging subject for experimental studies because of its slow growth, genetic heterogeneity, and sensitivity to environmental and biotic stresses. Sharing of common germplasm and controlled propagation practices has underpinned research on model plants, such as Arabidopsis and tomato, but not in onion. To encourage wider evaluation of onion for physiological and molecular studies in controlled environments, we describe the growing practices we have developed over two decades of research on adaptive and nutrient assimilation traits. Key aspects covered include choice of germplasm, propagation media, nutrition, and environmental control. Adopting common onion genetics and cultivation techniques across laboratories will allow researchers to answer deeper research questions and increase the reproducibility of the research.

The article discusses the issue of healthy eating in Ukraine, namely the public demand for healthy eating and, as a result, the demand for reforming the nutrition system. The focus of the study is on students, which was done for several reasons: eating habits are formed at school age and become the basis for attitudes towards nutrition in adulthood; students are a social group that is particularly influenced by media marketing technologies and the advertising industry. Marketing in the media mainly promotes fast food and other types of junk food, which contradicts the formation of a healthy lifestyle. The Department of Science and Education of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration, together with V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, conducted a survey of 8-11th grade students of general secondary education institutions in Kharkiv region about their diet at school and at home. The online survey of students lasted from March 10 to April 12, 2021. A survey of parents and teachers of students was conducted from April 26 to July 1, 2021. The article analyzes the results of the study of nutrition in schools in Kharkiv region in several areas: sufficiency, accessibility of school meals, habits and attitudes. One of the main conclusions reached by the authors is that there is a demand for healthy food in schools and for improving the school diet. This conclusion raised the following research question: how to meet this demand. However, this issue is a systemic one, and therefore its solution plan should include the interests of all stakeholders. Based on the common areas of the concept of sustainable development and the theory of social cohesion, the authors propose the introduction of innovative living laboratories. Innovation laboratories are aimed at involving consumers in the evaluation of products and services along with other stakeholders. The article was published within the framework of the project "Stimulating Urban Food System Transformation through the Implementation of Innovative Living Laboratories" (FUSILLI) under the grant agreement № 101000717 (HORIZON2020).

Background Inadequate nutrient intake, early and multiple pregnancies, poverty, caste discrimination, and gender inequality contribute to poor maternal nutrition in India. While malnutrition is seen throughout the life cycle, it is most acute during childhood, adolescence, pregnancy, and lactation. Although nutrition policies are on the books and interventions are in place, child malnutrition and maternal undernutrition persist as severe public health problems. Objective To evaluate the implementation of maternal nutrition programs in India. Methods The research was conducted in two phases. Phase 1 consisted of a desk review of national and state policies pertinent to maternal nutrition and national-level key informant interviews with respondents who have a working knowledge of relevant organizations and interventions. Phase 2 utilized in-depth interviews and focus group discussions at the state, district, and community levels in eight districts of two states: Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh. All data were analyzed thematically. Results India has a rich portfolio of programs and policies that address maternal health and nutrition; however, systematic weaknesses, logistical gaps, resource scarcity, and poor utilization continue to hamper progress. Conclusions Elevating the priority given to maternal nutrition in government health programs and implementing strategies to improve women's status will help to address many of the challenges facing India's nutrition programs. Programs can be strengthened by promoting integration of services, ensuring effective procurement mechanisms for micronutrient and food supplements, establishing regional training facilities for improved program implementation, and strengthening program monitoring and evaluation.

This research study investigates the knowledge regarding nutrition education among rural school children in Bihar, India. The goal of the study is to evaluate the existing level of nutrition knowledge and comprehension among kids in rural regions and to pinpoint possible areas for development in nutrition education initiatives. The rural school students were subjected to an interview schedule. A sample of rural schoolchildren from different Bihar schools, ranging in age from 8 to 12, participated in the study. The environment was taken into consideration when choosing knowledge test questions. A 53-item knowledge test was put through a relevancy check with help from extension specialists, and 43 items were chosen for the test. Thirty extension workers from outside the research area pretested the 53 items. Item analysis evoking difficulty index, discrimination index, and point biserial correlation were conducted based on the results of the pretesting. Items with difficulty indices between 0.3 and 0.8, discrimination indices equal or above 0.3, and substantial point biserial correlation at the 5% level of significance were chosen. Utilising the split-half method, the test's reliability was calculated and determined to be 0.70. Ultimately, 18 questions were chosen for the final knowledge test given to rural schoolchildren. This knowledge test reveals a knowledge gap about nutrition and its significance for general health and well-being among Bihar's rural schoolchildren. Most kids showed little understanding of key nutrients, food groupings, and their nutritional value. Additionally, there was a paucity of knowledge regarding the long-term effects of improper eating patterns and inadequate nutrition.
