“…The state is divided into three sub-regions (Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh), which are geographically isolated. This region has been suggested to have served as a corridor for various migrations and immigrations in the mainland India and Eurasia 11 . The population groups speak languages mainly belonging to the Indo-European linguistic family.…”

Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), the Northern most State of India, has been under-represented or altogether absent in most of the phylogenetic studies carried out in literature, despite its strategic location in the Himalayan region. Nonetheless, this region may have acted as a corridor to various migrations to and from mainland India, Eurasia or northeast Asia. The belief goes that most of the migrations post-late-Pleistocene were mainly male dominated, primarily associated with population invasions, where female migration may thus have been limited. To evaluate female-centered migration patterns in the region, we sequenced 83 complete mitochondrial genomes of unrelated individuals belonging to different ethnic groups from the state. We observed a high diversity in the studied maternal lineages, identifying 19 new maternal sub-haplogroups (HGs). High maternal diversity and our phylogenetic analyses suggest that the migrations post-Pleistocene were not strictly paternal, as described in the literature. These preliminary observations highlight the need to carry out an extensive study of the endogamous populations of the region to unravel many facts and find links in the peopling of India.

“…As seventy percent of our population lives in rural areas, road traffic accidents are expected to be less. 7 Falls from height are more common especially falls from apple and walnut trees. 8 The male to female ratio was 3.2:1 which is comparable to the observations made by other studies.…”

Application of non-operative management protocol in pediatric blunt splenic injuries with other associated injuries

Background: Non-operative management (NOM) has become the standard of care for isolated blunt splenic injuries with satisfactory success rates. However, literature is scarce about the non-operative management of blunt splenic injuries (BSI) with other associated injuries (OAI). The main aim of this study is to assess the applicability of protocol-based NOM in BSI with OAI.Methods: Protocol based resuscitative algorithm was followed for the management of patients with BSI and OAI. NOM was taken up in those patients who were hemodynamically stable and was not attempted in patients who remained hemodynamically unstable or developed hemodynamic instability even after the resuscitative efforts. The data was collected and analyzed.Results: Forty patients with the mean age of 7.05±3.9 years were studied. Fall from height formed the commonest mode of injury. The mean AAST grade was 2.55. The most common association was a left lung contusion (20%). Fifteen patients presented with shock among which two failed the protocol-based resuscitative efforts and were hence explored. One of the patients had lung contusion and the other dorsal vertebral fractures (3rd and 4th). Another patient with mesenteric tear and delayed hemorrhage was operated. Two other patients underwent surgical interventions for bowel perforation and fracture of right femur respectively. Spleen was preserved in both of these patients. Though, the NOM was successful in overall 87.5% patients, spleen specific success rate was 92.5%.Conclusions: Application of protocol-based NOM in patients with BSI with OAI is highly successful if instituted in properly selected patients especially those with low grades of injury and also in those with delayed presentation.

“…Despite continuous global efforts, a very little attention has been paid to the most challenging health issue of RDs in India with special reference to region like J&K. J&K is located in the northern part of the Indian sub-continent in the vicinity of the Karakoram and westernmost Himalayan mountain ranges (outer hills, middle Himalayas, and inner Himalayas) (Bhasin and Nag, 2002b). The region is being bordered by countries such as Pakistan in the west, Afghanistan in the north-west and China in the north-east (Bhasin and Nag, 2002a). Topographically, J&K is divided into three main isolated divisions, namely Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh (Sharma et al, 2018).…”

“…The population of J&K is typically heterogeneous with many anthropologically well-defined distinct ethnic and religious groups. The ethnic groups residing in J&K mainly include Arghuns, Bakerwals, Baltis, Bedas, Bodhs, Brokpas, Changpas, Dogras, Garras, Gujjars, Harijans, Kashmiris (Pandits and Muslims), Khatris, Kishtwaris, Ladakhis, Mahajans, Mons, Paharis and Purigpas (Bhasin and Nag, 2002a). The major religious groups of J&K include the Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Jains, Muslims, Sikhs and others.…”

“…The population stratification of J&K holds a high significance in the historical, religious, socio-cultural and linguistic diversification of the Indian population. It has been suggested that various pre-historic and historic events of migrations and immigrations toward the Indian sub-continent have occurred through J&K along the north-eastern and north-western routes (Bhasin and Nag, 2002a;Pandith et al, 2015;Sharma et al, 2018). Intense endogamy within the population groups of J&K has resulted in restricted gene flow and genetic isolation for several centuries, thus, making them unique in terms of their gene pool and disease heritage.…”
