    Abstract Background & aims: Sarcopenic obesity (SO) associates a decrease in lean body mass (LBM) with an excessive increase in fat mass (FM). A number of diagnostic methods, definitions criteria, and thresholds have been proposed for SO resulting in markedly discordant prevalence estimates in populations with obesity. In this study, we first assessed several previously described SO diagnostic criteria and their limitations, and then we propose an innovative approach for identifying SO.
    Methods: Data were from a cross-sectional study of a cohort of overweight/obese patients who underwent clinical, laboratory, and body composition assessments by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). We performed unsupervised machine learning through clustering analysis to discriminate lean and fat compartments, and multivariate logistic regressions which provided prognostic variables applied on sex-specific models for SO diagnosis evaluation based on a training dataset (80% of total sample, n = 1165). The predicted models were validated by random forest (RF) machine learning algorithm in the validation dataset (20% of total sample, n = 262).
    Results: Data from 1427 subjects were analyzed, 79.8% women, mean (±s.d.) age 45.0 (±12.9) years, grade III obesity (BMI over 40 kg/m
    Conclusions: Current diagnostic criteria for SO result in widely discrepant prevalence values leading to diagnosis uncertainty. We developed and validated diagnostic criteria based on body composition phenotypes, specifically for overweight/obese subjects, which identified patients at risk of cardio-metabolic complications. This approach may improve the identification of sarcopenia in subjects with obesity.

    Abstract Introduction: In the Indian subcontinent, Master's-level Public Health (MlPH) programmes attract graduates of diverse academic disciplines from health and non-health sciences alike. Considering the current and futuristic importance of the public health cadre, we described them and reviewed their transdisciplinarity status based on MlPH admissibility criteria 1995 to 2021.
    Methods: Using a search strategy, we abstracted information available in the public domain on MlPH programmes and their admissibility criteria. We categorized the admission criteria based on specified disciplines into Health science, Non-health science and Non-health non-science categories. We described the MlPH programmes by location, type of institution, course duration, curriculum, pedagogical methods, specializations offered, and nature of admission criteria statements. We calculated descriptive statistics for eligible educational qualifications for MlPH admission.
    Results: Overall, 76 Indian institutions (Medical colleges-21 and Non-medical coleges-55) offered 92 MlPH programmes (Private-58 and Public-34). We included 89 for review. These programmes represent a 51% increase (n = 47) from 2016 to 2021. They are mostly concentrated in 21 Indian provinces. These programmes stated that they admit candidates of but not limited to "graduation in any life sciences", "3-year bachelor's degree in any discipline", "graduation from any Indian universities", and "graduation in any discipline". Among the health science disciplines, Modern medicine (n = 89; 100%), Occupational therapy (n = 57; 64%) is the least eligible. Among the non-health science disciplines, life sciences and behavioural sciences (n = 53; 59%) and non-health non-science disciplines, humanities and social sciences (n = 62; 72%) are the topmost eligible disciplines for admission in the MPH programmes.
    Conclusion: Our review suggests that India's MlPH programmes are less transdisciplinary. Relatively, non-medical institutions offer admission to various academic disciplines than the medical institutions in their MlPH programmes. India's Master's level public health programmes could be more inclusive by opening to graduates from trans-disciplinary backgrounds.

    Abstract Background: India's National Health Profile (NHP) documents snakebite cases and deaths based on hospital-based reports, hence underrepresenting the actual burden. We describe secular trends of NHP data using population denominators for 2009-2018.
    Methods: We abstracted the data on snakebite cases and deaths and calculated incidence and case fatality rate (CFR) by gender and by states using population denominators. We estimated the change in incidence and CFR over time by using a Poisson regression model. We computed the incidence rate ratio (IRR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) using Stata 14.0.
    Results: The incidence of snakebites ranged from 89 to 141 per million population and without any specific pattern during 2009-2018 as per NHP reports. The incidence increased by 3% per year (IRR 1.03 [95% CI 0.99 to 1.07]). The incidence was higher among males (range 97-163) than females (range 71-115) and there was no difference in trends by gender (IRR 1.07 [95% CI 0.37 to 3.12]). The CFR was 5-13 deaths per 1000 cases, with an annual decline of 12% (IRR 0.88 [95% CI 0.85 to 0.92]). The CFR did not differ by gender (male 5-12, female 6-13; IRR 0.48 [95% CI 0.20 to 1.17]).
    Conclusion: India's NHP snakebite data, representing an underestimate of the actual burden, suggests no specific secular trend and points to areas documenting consistent and significant burden.

    Abstract Three-way top-cross hybrids of pearl millet were evaluated along with a popular single- cross check hybrid (PAC 981) for forage yield and quality traits under a multi-cut (three cuts) system across multiple years, seasons and sites in India. Total green forage yield (TGFY) varied from 36 to 53 t ha⁻¹, and two hybrids outyielded the check hybrid for both total dry forage yield (TDFY) and forage quality (CP; Crude protein, and IVOMD; In vitro organic matter digestibility) traits. A set of promising three-way top-cross hybrids evaluated along with a set of promising open-pollinated varieties (OPVs) and top-cross hybrids for forage-related traits over two years under a multi-cut system revealed that the mean TDFY of three-way top-cross hybrids was higher than the mean TDFY of top-cross hybrids, followed by OPVs. Also, three-way top-cross hybrids had higher/or at par forage quality traits such as CP and IVOMD in comparison to other types of cultivars. TDFY had no correlation with CP and IVOMD across cuts in three-way top-cross hybrids, indicating that forage quantity and quality traits can be improved independently of each other. Overall, three-way top-cross hybrids were found to be a better pearl millet cultivar option than other types of cultivars.

    Abstract Background: Mass gathering events carry a risk of public health emergencies such as outbreaks of infectious diseases, stampedes, and injuries and pose an increased risk for individuals with non-communicable diseases. India celebrates many festivals mass gatherings. However, operational research on syndromic surveillance during such events is limited. In this context, we documented the use of information technology tools for syndromic surveillance during selected mass gatherings in South India during 2015-2018.
    Method: We collaborated with health systems for syndromic surveillance during selected religious mass gatherings. We finalized priority syndromes and their surveillance definitions through stakeholder meetings. We used open-source software for surveillance data collection and trained the health care professionals and volunteers for data capture and collation. We consolidated, analyzed, generated near-real-time daily reports and shared them with health authorities for action.
    Results: The number of participants in these mass gatherings ranged from 100 thousand to 3 million, and recorded out-patients seeking care for syndromic illness ranged from 4,000 to 25,000 per event. We used more than five platforms and captured information on 17 syndromes. We captured a total of 61,523 patient details during syndromic surveillance. The most frequently reported syndromes were injuries, fever, and diarrhea of the reported illness.
    Conclusions: These cost-effective open-source technologies are intuitive, adaptable, and inexpensive to maintain and operate in real-time. Therefore, enhanced syndromic surveillance could detect diseases early in mass gatherings.
