Meningococcal disease sep 2019 National Epidemiology & Indian recommendationsGaurav Gupta
This document discusses meningococcal disease in India, including past outbreaks, current epidemiology and surveillance data, and recommendations for vaccination. It notes that while India has a poor surveillance system and diagnostic challenges, meningococcal disease is present and the country has seen outbreaks every 6-8 years. Surveillance data from 2012-2016 shows several states regularly report over 100 cases annually. Current recommendations from the Indian Academy of Pediatrics advise vaccination for high-risk groups, international travelers, and Hajj/African meningitis belt pilgrims. While antibiotics can treat the disease, vaccination is an effective prevention strategy given unknowns around antibiotic resistance and underdiagnosis.
Japanese encephalitis - Sep 2019 India epidemiology - Is vaccination needed?Gaurav Gupta
1) Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a viral disease spread by mosquitoes that is endemic in many parts of Asia and the Pacific. India reports the highest number of JE cases annually, with an estimated actual number between 15,000-20,000 cases per year.
2) JE vaccination is the most important preventive measure according to WHO and IAP guidelines. The national vaccination program in India recommends routine vaccination with two doses of JE vaccine for children up to 15 years of age in endemic areas.
3) While mosquito and pig control efforts have not proven reliable at controlling JE, vaccination is currently the single most effective public health approach for prevention in India given the disease burden.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.
