This enabled liver transplantation to be performed in India. We briefly recount the history of the Act's passage and describe, in some detail, the present status of the procedure. Methods We sent a questionnaire regarding liver transplant services via email to 400 members of the Liver Transplant Society of India requesting them to provide details on liver transplantation at their centres up to 2022. We received information on 3069 of 3920 transplants that had been performed in 2022. Results There were 183 registered centres who had performed a total of 3920 liver transplants, placing India in third position behind the USA (n=9528) and China (n=6053) while it performed the largest number of living donor liver transplants (n=3183) in the world. The most common indication for liver transplantation was non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)-related cirrhosis (20%). Our teams published 2449 PubMed indexed research papers and 384 foreign trainees came from 52 countries for training in liver transplantation. The concerns were the small numbers of deceased organ donation, the dominance of the private sector (96.7%), corruption in the form of kickbacks and false declarations of relationship and gender imbalance with only 22% women recipients receiving organs from men while 68% women donated their livers to men. Conclusion Liver transplantation has saved the lives of many Indians, made a major impact on Indian healthcare overall, and increased its reputation worldwide. There are problems which we hope will be tackled by increasing societal awareness.","PeriodicalId":519891,"journal":{"name":"The National medical journal of India","volume":"38 1","pages":"30-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144103409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is an emerging opportunistic pathogen causing a wide range of infections in immunocompromised and hospitalized patients. Methods We did a retrospective observational study at Shree Krishna Hospital, Karamsad after approval by the Institutional Ethics Committee to determine the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance pattern of B. cepacia from January 2015 to November 2020. Clinical specimens of all the indoor and outdoor patients of all age groups, from whom B. cepacia was isolated, were included in the study. Identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of isolates were done by the Vitek 2 Compact system as per the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Results Ninety-one (0.54%) B. cepacia were isolated out of 16 840 organisms from 45 743 specimens received during the duration of the study. These were isolated most commonly from patients in the 0-20 years age group (31%) followed by those 41-60 years of age (20%). Also it was isolated more often in males than females. Blood and body fluids (57%) were the most common specimens from which B. cepacia was isolated followed by respiratory specimens (18%), urine (14%), and pus (11%). B. cepacia antimicrobial resistance was seen more commonly to ticarcillin-clavulanate (72%) followed by levofloxacin (34%), trimethoprim- sulphamethoxazole (30%), ceftazidime (30%), minocycline (21%) and meropenem (14%). Conclusion The prevalence of B. cepacia was low. B. cepacia has been identified as an important pathogen in bloodstream infections. It is important to know the antimicrobial resistance pattern of B. cepacia for better management of patients.","PeriodicalId":519891,"journal":{"name":"The National medical journal of India","volume":"38 1","pages":"9-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144103469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to estimate the prevalence of viral hepatitis B and C in the Buddhist tribal area of Kaza health block in Lahaul and Spiti district in Himachal Pradesh, India, and to identify the determinants. Methods The study was conducted by the departments of Gastroenterology, Community Medicine and Microbiology, Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla between June 2015 and October 2017. Using a two-stage sampling method, 4231 participants in 40 clusters were enrolled. For each subject, a pre-tested interview schedule was administered, and blood was tested for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and antibodies to HCV (anti-HCV). Those samples which tested positive for HBsAg were further tested for hepatitis B core antigen (HBeAg) and antibody to HBeAg (anti-HBe). Results Among the 4231 participants, HBsAg and anti-HCV were detected in 961 (22.7%) and 33 (0.9%), respectively, including 6 (0.1%) who tested positive for both. HBsAg positivity was not associated with religion (p=0.07), caste (p=0.16), level of education (p=0.58) or marital status (p=0.73). Of all the participants, 588 (13.9%) reported a history of HBV vaccination. Of those who were HBsAg positive (961), 21.6% were positive for HBeAg and 58.3% were positive for anti-HBe. Conclusion The prevalence of HBV infection in the Kaza health block was high, and no specific associations were identified. Interventions such as public health education and universal childhood immunization at birth may help reduce the high rate of transmission of HBV in this population.","PeriodicalId":519891,"journal":{"name":"The National medical journal of India","volume":"38 1","pages":"5-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144103401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
