Results: Coverage for BCG, OPV3, DPT3 & Measles were 92.04%, 85.23%, 83.71% & 82.20% respectively. BCG scar was seen in 83.95% of children out of those who received BCG. The proportions of fully immunized children were 79.55%. Unimmunized children were 4.16%. Dropout rate was 9.05% for BCG-DPT3, 10.69% for BCG-Measles & 7.53% for DPT1-DPT3. Compared to NFHS3 (2005-06) as well as DLHS3 (Gandhina...

BACKGROUND Validation of voltage-based scar delineation has been limited to small populations using mainly endocardial measurements. The aim of this study is to compare unipolar voltage amplitudes (UnipV) with scar on delayed enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (DE-CMR). METHODS Heart failure patients who underwent DE-CMR and electro-anatomic mapping were included. Thirty-three end...

cesarean scar pregnancy (csp) is a rare, but life-threatening type of ectopic pregnancy. an exact and early diagnosis of csp is very important for prognosis. the aim of the present study was to describe 4 women with csp and discuss their clinical presentations, diagnoses, and various management options along with the published literature. four women with a suspicion of csp or cervical pregnancy...

objective (s): scar formation in injured peripheral nerve bed causes several consequences which impede the process of nerve regeneration. several animal models are used for scar induction in preclinical studies which target prevention and/or suppression of perineural scar. this study evaluates the translational capacity of four of physical injury models to induce scar formation around the sciat...
