Abstract

Background: Asymptomatic Leishmania donovani infections outnumber clinical presentations, however the predictors for development of active disease are not well known. We aimed to identify serological, immunological and genetic markers for progression from L. donovani infection to clinical Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL). Methods: We enrolled all residents >2 years of age in 27 VL endemic villages in Bihar (India). Blood samples collected on filter paper on two occasions 6–12 months apart, were tested for antibodies against L. donovani with rK39-ELISA and DAT. Sero converters, (negative for both tests in the first round but positive on either of the two during the second round) and controls (negative on both tests on both occasions) were followed for three years. At the start of follow-up venous blood was collected for the following tests: DAT, rK39- ELISA, Quantiferon assay, SNP/HLA genotyping and L.donovani specific quantitative PCR. Results: Among 1,606 subjects enrolled,17 (8/476 seroconverters and 9/1,130 controls) developed VL (OR 3.1; 95% CI 1.1–8.3). High DAT and rK39 ELISA antibody titers as well as positive qPCR were strongly and significantly associated with progression from seroconversion to VL with odds ratios of 19.1, 30.3 and 20.9 respectively. Most VL cases arose early (median 5 months) during follow-up. Conclusion: We confirmed the strong association between high DAT and/or rK39 titers and progression to disease among asymptomatic subjects and identified qPCR as an additional predictor. Low predictive values do not warrant prophylactic treatment but as most progressed to VL early during follow-up, careful oberservation of these subjects for at least 6 months is indicated.

Abstract

Poverty affects many people, but the ramifications and impacts affect all aspects of society. Information about the incidence of poverty is therefore an important parameter of the population for policy analysis and decision making. In order to provide specific, targeted solutions when addressing poverty disadvantage small area statistics are needed. Surveys are typically designed and planned to produce reliable estimates of population characteristics of interest mainly at higher geographic area such as national and state level. Sample sizes are usually not large enough to provide reliable estimates for disaggregated analysis. In many instances estimates are required for areas of the population for which the survey providing the data was unplanned. Then, for areas with small sample sizes, direct survey estimation of population characteristics based only on the data available from the particular area tends to be unreliable. This paper describes an application of small area estimation (SAE) approach to improve the precision of estimates of poverty incidence at district level in the State of Bihar in India by linking data from the Household Consumer Expenditure Survey 2011–12 of NSSO and the Population Census 2011. The results show that the district level estimates generated by SAE method are more precise and representative. In contrast, the direct survey estimates based on survey data alone are less stable.

Abstract

Researchers from the National Institute of Technology Patna in Bihar, India, have proposed a new approach to detecting colorectal cancer (CRC) using a fiber optic plasmonic sensor coated with bismuthene. The sensor, which also includes a silver thin film and bovine serum albumin (BSA), showed promising results in detecting pathological tissue samples. The addition of bismuthene increased the penetration depth of the sensor, while the addition of BSA slightly reduced the shift in resonance wavelength. The researchers believe that this proposed sensor could effectively detect CRC. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

A report from researchers at the National Institute of Technology Patna in Bihar, India discusses the use of deep learning-based biometric image feature extraction for securing medical images through data hiding and joint encryption-compression. The researchers propose a method that embeds biometric fingerprint image features in medical images without perceptual distortion. This method combines encryption and compression schemes to enhance the security of medical images while reducing storage consumption or bandwidth requirements. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves high imperceptibility, compression performance, and security for medical applications. The research has been peer-reviewed and published in the Journal of Information Security and Applications. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

A recent study conducted at the National Institute of Technology Patna in Bihar, India, focused on improving the assessment of dysarthria, a speech disorder, using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The researchers developed a multi-channel CNN approach that captures both source and system features by employing different sizes of convolution filters. The experimental results showed that this approach significantly enhanced the accuracy and F1 score compared to a single-channel CNN. The study concludes that the proposed method is effective for assessing dysarthria in a speaker-independent and text-independent mode. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

A recent study conducted by the Indian Institute of Information Technology in Bihar, India, explores the dynamics of HIV-TB coinfection in a gender-structured model. The study utilizes nonlinear fractional-order differential equations to analyze the stability characteristics and identify key factors influencing the transmission and control of the coinfection. The researchers also formulate two control strategies to mitigate the prevalence of coinfection, finding that implementing control measures at a rate exceeding 80% can eliminate the infection entirely. The study aims to provide insights for policymakers in crafting interventions to address the devastating consequences of HIV-TB coinfection. [Extracted from the article]
