  • Edristi-Navatra-English-June-2019
    Preface Dear readers, we have started edristi English edition as well since August, 2015. We are hopeful that it will help us to connect to the broader audience and amplify our personal bonding with each other. While presenting Day-to-day current affairs, we are very cautious on choosing the right topics to make sure only those get the place which are useful for competitive exams perspective, not to increase unnecessary burden on the readers by putting useless materials. Secondly, we have also provided the reference links to ensure its credibility which is our foremost priority. You can always refer the links to validate its authenticity. We will try to present the current affairs topics as quickly as possible but its authenticity is given higher priority over its turnaround time. Therefore it could happen that we publish the incident one or two days later in the website. Our plan will be to publish our monthly PDF on very first day of every month with making appropriate modifications of day-to-day events. In general, the events happened till 28th day will be given place in the PDFs. The necessity of this is to ensure the contents factual authenticity. Reader’s satisfaction is our utmost priority so requesting you to provide your valuable feedback to us. We will warmly welcome your appreciation/criticism given to us. It will surely show us the right direction to improve the content quality. Hopefully the current affairs PDF (from 1st June to 30th June) will benefit our beloved readers. Current affairs data will be useless if it couldn’t originate any competitive exam questions.

    Important Facts For Prelims (19th April 2019) drishtiias.com/printpdf/important-facts-for-prelims-19th-april-2019 Bubble Boy Disease As per a recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, U.S. scientists used ‘HIV’ in making a gene therapy that cured eight infants of "bubble boy" disease. The study details how scientists turned the enemy virus (HIV) into a saviour, altering it so it couldn’t cause disease and then using it to deliver a gene that babies with "bubble boy" disease lacked. Bubble Boy Disease, also known as Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Syndrome (SCID) is caused by a genetic flaw that keeps the bone marrow from making effective versions of blood cells that comprise an immune system. An immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, organs that helps the body in fighting infections and other diseases. It affects 1 in 2,00,000 newborns, almost exclusively males. Without treatment, it often kills in the first year or two of life. The nickname ‘bubble boy disease’ has come from a famous case in the 1970s- a Texas boy with SCID, lived for 12 years in a protective plastic bubble for isolation from germs. A bone marrow transplant from a genetically matched sibling can cure SCID, but most people lack a suitable donor. Transplants are risky too; the Texas boy died after one. Doctors think gene therapy could be a solution. It involves removing some of a patient’s blood cells, using the modified HIV to insert the missing gene, and returning the cells to the body.

  • 2019 Lister Annual Report and Accounts
    The Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2019 Nurturing the future leaders in biomedical research The Institute was founded in 1891 and for the next 85 years played a vital role in the development of the laboratory aspects of preventive medicine as an independent research institute in the UK. Financial pressures in the 1970s led to the closure of the research and production facilities and the conversion of the Lister Institute into a highly successful Trust awarding prestigious Research Fellowships from 1982, which in 2003, were revised to become Prize Fellowships. The Fellowships continue to deliver on the Lister Institute’s strategic aim of nurturing the future leaders in biomedical research. The Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine is a company limited by guarantee (England 34479) and is a registered charity (206271) CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION for the year ended 31 December 2019 an excellent job in selecting the very environment and any funding issues. best individuals for the award of the To all of those Fellows and their host Lister Prizes.
