    Abstract Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is growing as a serious manifestation of multiple etiologies globally. As majority of the admitted patients are in direct contact with nurses, nurses have a pivotal role in the early detection and management of AKI. Nurses must possess knowledge and information about AKI for its early detection and management. Aim: This study aimed to assess knowledge of nurses regarding AKI. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive survey was carried out in the emergency department and outpatient departments of selected hospital, New Delhi, over a period of 5 months. Eligibility criteria for inclusion included nurses working in the emergency department and outpatient departments, who can understand or read either English or Hindi language; and were willing to participate in the study. Two hundred and forty-five nurses were recruited as study samples using total enumerative sampling technique. Results: The results of the study revealed that majority 77.1% of the subjects had good knowledge regarding AKI and only 22.9% of participants had poor knowledge regarding AKI. Majority (i.e., 69.4%, 64.1%, 77.1%, and 84.1%) of nurses were familiar with causes of prerenal failure, the various modalities of treatment of AKI, cases that require dialysis, and complications of AKI, respectively. However, only 20.4% of subjects were aware of RIFLE criteria for AKI. Conclusion: The study identified that most of the nurses carry good knowledge regarding AKI, however, still knowledge is lacking in few important aspects pertaining to assessment and management of AKI, which needs to be considered by nursing administrators while planning in-service and continuing education for nurses.

    Abstract One of the latest threats emerged to the integrity of academic publishing is predatory journals. These journals have paved the way for low-quality articles by exploiting gold open-access publishing, threatening standards of evidence-based science. These journals lack the authentication of legitimate scholarly journals such as peer review, editing, editorial boards, editorial offices, and other editorial standards, imposing a number of new ethical issues in publishing research papers. Some of these claim to assess submissions within 72 h and digitally publish them on acceptance and receipt of the fee, showing their only motivation of procurement of evaluation and publication fees. While many of the predatory publications can be easily recognized as such by most in their respective professions, some present them as highly sophisticated and operate websites that mirror prominent mainstream journals. Even experienced professionals sometimes fail to recognize these dubious journals and join the editorial boards of these journals or submit articles, posing a big threat to publication standards and ethics. It is the utmost need of authors, i.e., scientific authors have ample opportunities for publicizing their research. However, they have to selectively target journals and publish in compliance with the established norms of publishing ethics.

    Abstract Syngnathidae family consists of 52 genera and over 215 species including Hippocampus kuda, popularly known as seahorse, which is one of the economically important species being utilized for Traditional Chinese Medicines. International Union for Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) categorized this species as an endangered. We have carried out the genetic study on two populations (Tuticorin and Ratnagiri) of Indian seahorses using mtDNA cytochrome b sequence to reveal the genetic population structure and phylogenetic analysis of Indian seahorses. Our study revealed highly significant divergence in both Tuticorin (0.6429) and Ratnagiri (0.6667) seahorses Further, construction of NJ tree using mtDNA cytochrome b sequence revealed three lineages among H. kuda. One lineage consists of Tuticorin population, other lineage consists of Ratnagiri and the third lineage consists of samples from rest of the world. TMRCA (Time Most Recent Common Ancestors) value for kuda species of different regions was found to be 53,166 years ago. Thus suggests that the fall in the population size of H. kuda is due to overexploitation, but not because of any genetic bottleneck. The findings of the present study have important implications for in-situ conservation and stock management of hippocampus species along the Indian coasts

    Abstract Coxiella burnetii is one of the most contagious pathogen associated with Q fever in humans, while, ruminants act as important source of infection for humans. In the present cross sectional study, a total of 464 samples were collected from 218 goats comprising of 218 sera, 218 blood and 28 milk from various parts of Chhattisgarh and Odisha region, India. Besides, environmental (33; soil- 4, faecal- 10, feed-6, drainage water- 6, drinking water- 7) and rodent (38) samples were also collected from the premises of the animals. Human sera samples (93) were collected from same sampling area comprised of workers at an organized dairy farm (43), and farmers (50). The samples were subjected to PCR targeting the trans and com1 genes and detection of antibodies using commercial ELISA kits. An overall 14.22% (95% CI: 10.2–19.47%) of the goat samples were positive using either PCR or ELISA. While, by using PCR and ELISA, 11.93% (26/218) and 9.63% (21/218) of the samples were positive for C. burnetii. A higher seropositivity (46.24%; 95% CI: 36.46–56.32%) was observed for antibodies against C. burnetii in samples collected from humans. None of the human, environmental and rodent samples were positive for C. burnetii using PCR. This seems to be the first cross sectional study to focus the hidden threat of coxiellosis among goat population and associated risk factors in India.
