Background: Using face masks is one of the possible prevention methods against respiratory pathogens. A number of studies and reviews have been performed regarding the use of medical grade masks like surgical masks, N95 respirators etc. However, the use of cloth masks has received little attention.
Objectives: The purpose of this review is to analy...
Entomophthoramycosis is a rare fungal infection of nose, paranasal sinuses and subcutaneous tissues found in tropical and subtropical region. From India very few cases have been reported. Here we report a case of Entomophthoramycosis due to Conidiobolus coronatus from the eastern India who presented with slowly growing rhinofacial swelling and righ...
Introduction:
The global revolution of online social media and connectivity had a tremendous effect on sexual behavior in both developed and developing countries. This global change is influencing the societal structure and existing social principles. Moreover, it has a significant impact on the epidemiology of different infectious diseases, espec...
Background
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has potential to transform healthcare including the field of infectious diseases diagnostics. This study assesses the capability of three large language models (LLMs), GPT 4, Llama 3, and Gemini 1.5 to generate differential diagnoses, comparing their outputs against those of medical experts to evaluate AI’s p...
Background
The escalation of diabetes mellitus poses a significant public health challenge in India. This condition impacts iron metabolism, potentially causing variations in the iron profile. This study aimed to ascertain the prevalence of iron deficiency in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus and explore its associated factors.

Background
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) constitutes a significant cause of chronic liver disease globally. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a crucial risk factor for MASLD. This investigation is aimed at assessing hepatic fibrosis in T2DM patients with MASLD.
Methods
This cross-sectional study focused on T2DM p...
Background: The integration of large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 into healthcare presents potential benefits and challenges. While LLMs have shown promise in applications ranging from scientific writing to personalized medicine, their practical utility and safety in clinical settings remain under scrutiny. Concerns about accuracy, ethical...
Background: The escalating global burden of diabetes necessitates innovative management strategies. Artificial intelligence, particularly large language models like GPT-4, presents a promising avenue for improving guideline adherence in diabetes care. Such technologies could revolutionize patient management by offering personalized, evidence-based...
Introduction: Intestinal worm infestations are widely prevalent in tropical and subtropical countries and occur where there is poverty and poor sanitation. Gastrointestinal helminths cause significant disease in both humans, soil transmitted helminths, blood and food borne liver flukes affect more than 1.5 billion people globally, most of whom live...

Acute pain is a medical emergency that requires prompt abdominal evaluation and management. Dengue, a mosquito-borne arboviral infection, can lead to complications such as acute abdominal pain.
Patient concerns
A 72-year-old hypertensive female presented with high-grade intermittent fever with chills and rigors for four days. She was dia...
Acanthamoeba spp. are rare etiological agents of meningoencephalitis with high mortality. We present three cases of Acanthamoeba meningoencephalitis in immunocompetent individuals from Eastern India. The first patient presented with fever and headache; the second with headache, visual disturbance, and squint; and the third presented in a drowsy sta...
Brucellosis is a highly contagious zoonotic disease and a major human health problem worldwide. Due to its ways of transmission, direct or indirect contact with infected animals or their contaminated biological products, the disease exhibits strong occupational association with animal handlers comprising a significant population at risk. This study...
Background : Liver Space Occupying Lesions (SOL) in tropical regions may be caused by infectious as well as non-infectious etiologies. We aimed to determine the prevalence of different etiopathology of hepatic SOL and their clinical presentations with relation to common risk factors mostly in tropics. Materials and Methods : Observational study was...
Introduction: Dengue is a mosquito transmitted arboviral infection. In dengue fever spontaneous bleeding in different parts of body occurs; but spontaneous bleeding into rectus muscle leading to haematoma formation is rare. Case Presentation: A 72-year-old hypertensive female presented with high grade intermittent fever with chills and rigors for l...
Background : Highly active, viral suppressive Anti-retroviral Therapy (ART) has significantly increased the life expectancy of HIV infected patients, which increases precipitation of age related diseases and comorbidities. Nowadays, Rheumatological Manifestations are being recognized as an important contributor of morbidity in PLHIV. Aims : The aim...
Background:
Fungal infections are a major cause of mortality and
morbidity in HIV patients. These infections range from mucosal in-
volvements to deep mycoses.
Methods:
We searched PubMed and EMBASE databases for ran-
domized controlled trials (RCT) on triazoles for primary prophylaxis in
HIV patients using the search term “HIV AND (fluconazole OR...
Objective:
A tetravalent dengue vaccine (CYD-TDV) has been licensed in 2015 and is currently approved in 20 countries. We did a meta-analysis to determine whether CYD-TDV is effective in preventing dengue.
Methods:
We did a pubmed search to find published papers on dengue vaccine (keyword: dengue AND vaccine AND randomized controlled trial [pt]) a...
Background:
Dengue shock syndrome is a serious complication of dengue fever characterized by vascular leakage and disorder of hemostasis. The mainstay of therapy is by intravenous fluid replacement in such cases. However, there has long been a debate about whether crystalloid or colloid solutions should be used during initial management of
dengue s...
Introduction:
Tuberculosis is a major health problem in immunocompromised patients, but involvement of appendicular skeleton is rare. Tuberculosis may rarely result in synovitis. In such cases other evidences of tuberculosis, such as sputum positivity, chest x-ray find-
ings etc. may be absent. The diagnosis may be missed unless there is
a high ind...
Objective:
Infection with HIV results in progressive depletion of
the CD4 T-lymphocytes and the development of multiple opportunistic
infections (OI) which is serious cause of concern with regards to the
outcome.
Methods and Results (Case Report):
A 29 year old female
was admitted with drowsiness and right sided hemiparesis, inconti-
nence of blad...

Is there any good software for detecting plagiarism?
I never needed it myself, but other people might plagiarize while collaborating with me.
How am I supposed to check whether my co-author plagiarized or not?
Is there any good software for it?
Bonus point if there is a free and open source solution.
P.S. what do the universities and other academic institutions use for this purpose?
It seems like it the raw data should be provided to the readers. I can think of some advantages of having access to the raw data
- Verify the authors' findings
- The reader can analyze parts of data to draw his/her own conclusion
- Check for inconsistencies in the data
I can't think of any disadvantages to this requirement. AFAIK some journals require the raw data to be published, but clearly many don't. Why is it so?
