Grading of Malnutrition Among Under 5 Children Residing in Urban Slum in Mysuru Using WHO Classification and Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) Classification: A Comparative Study

Journal article published by JSS Academy of Higher Education & Research reporting a comparative study of malnutrition grading among under‑5 children in an urban slum in Mysuru using WHO and IAP classifications. The excerpt provides title and publisher but no additional study details in the supplied source data.

Illustrative image: This image documents a juvenile Asian openbill ( Anastomus oscitans ) resting on a low branch, likely following accidental displacement from the nesting canopy. The individual exhibits the brownish-grey plumage and paler soft parts characteristic of immature storks, distinct from the high-contrast black and white coloration of mature adults. Additionally, the specific gap between the mandibles—a specialized adaptation for extracting mollusks—is not yet fully developed at this developmental stage — Kingshuk Mondal/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 4.0
