BACKGROUND Increasingly, women in India attend health facilities for childbirth, partly due to incentives paid under government programs. Increased use of health facilities can alleviate the risks of infections contracted in unhygienic home deliveries, but poor infection control practices in labour and delivery units also cause puerperal sepsis and other infections of childbirth. A needs assess...

Aim: A polyherbal galactogogue based on indigenous knowledge of tribles (Bhagats) belonging to Patalkot (Madhya Pradesh), Dangs (Gujarat) and Aravallis (Rajasthan) was evaluated on lactating Surti buffaloes (medium sized buffalo breed of South Gujarat which is best suitable for small and marginal farmers as well as landless labourers/tribal with less input resources). Materials and Methods: A t...

Oilseeds play an important role in Indian agriculture as the second major crop (next to cereals). Groundnut (Arachis Hypogaea L.) is one of oilseed crops among India and Gujarat. Gujarat ranks first area production groundnut all states country accounting for 34 43 percent respectively. The study utilized monthly time series data on arrival prices 20 years (April-1998 March-2018). market co-inte...

Infrastructure development is critical to sustain and attain optimum output from the rapidly growing Indian dairy sector. The existing studies indicate need improve infrastructure; however, varies across regions. This study analyses disparity in infrastructure of one highly progressive State – Gujarat - using a Principal Component Approach (PCA). results that there exists nearly 54% facility ...

In North Gujarat, local communities depend on the Precambrian basement aquifers for their primary source of water supply. The increasing demand potable puts stress exploring ground...

The draft genome sequence of a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) sequence type 39 (ST 39) isolate obtained from the dried ribbonfish of Gujarat, India, is reported here. Staphylococcus-specific genes were present in this MRSA isolate. The whole-genome sequence of this strain contains 2,693 protein-coding genes and 70 RNAs within the 2.82-Mb genome.

Arthrobacter crystallopoietes strain BAB-32, a Gram-positive obligate aerobic actinobacterium having potential application in bioremediation and bioreduction of a few metals, was isolated from rhizosphere soil of Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India. The draft genome (4.3 Mb) of the strain revealed a few vital gene clusters involved in the metabolism of aromatic compounds, zinc, and sulfur.

Five probable cases of Meckel's syndrome have been ascertained retrospectively through the Leicestershire Perinatal Mortality Survey for the years 1976 to 1982. All of these babies were born to Hindu parents originating from the Gujarat State in India, suggesting that Meckel's syndrome is particularly common among this ethnic group, with a gene frequency of approximately 0.028.
