Abstract: Background: Beedi rolling is one of the largest small scale industries in India providing employment to millions of women having low socioeconomic status. They are constantly exposed to tobacco dust and its alkaloids which results in various respiratory complications. Aims & objectives: To assess the effect of tobacco exposure and its duration on Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), Blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and Pulse rate (PR) using Wright's peak expiratory flow meter and pulse oximeter in female beedi rollers...............
Keywords: Beedi rollers, Peak expiratory flow rate, Blood oxygen saturation , Pulse oximeter.

Abstract: The use of traditional plants by the people of Ekiti State, is a practice of great results to its inhabitants over generations. A checklist of plants used traditional to treat Menstrual Disorders in Ekiti South Senetorial District, Ekiti-State, Nigeria was carried out. A total of 40 plants belonging to 30 families were identified. The plant parts varied from leaves (30, 76% plants), seeds (5, 13% plants), fruits (3, 8% plants) and stem bark (2, 3% plants), respectively. Dysmenorrhoea (painful menstruation), Menorrhagia (excessive bleeding), Oligomenorrhoea (irregular menstruation), Hypomenorrhea (scanty menstruation) and Amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) were identified..............

|

Abstract: Anti-platelet agents are those that decrease platelet aggregation and inhibit thrombus formation. Anti-platelet drugs are used to prevent and help in the reversal of platelet aggregation in arterial thrombosis which is the principal reason in the pathology of myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic stroke. Currently many synthetic and semi-synthetic formulations are available in the markets which are potent anti-platelet agents but they have significant adverse effects. Herbs have been always an ideal source of drugs and numerous of the presently available drugs have been obtained directly or indirectly from them..............

Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease and one of the most feared complications is diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) resulting in amputation and gangrene arising from the action of pathogenic bacteria. This study investigated the efficacy of essential oil extracts of Curcuma longa (turmeric) and Syzygium aromaticum (clove) on bacteria implicated in DFUs. Essential oils extracted from Curcuma longa and Syzygium aromaticum were used singly and in combinations to determine their antimicrobial activities on bacteria isolated from DFUs (Salmonella paratyphi, Salmonella arizona..............

Abstract: Biologically guided screening study was done to investigate the cytotoxic activity of four plants either in separate manner or collected in the recipe from Egyptian market. The results revealed that the most promising cytotoxic activity was attributed to ethyl acetate extract of Holoptelea integrifolia Planch against cervical carcinoma HeLa cell line, larynx carcinoma HEp-2 cell line, and intestinal carcinoma CACO cell line compared to the reference drug vinblastine sulfate. So Holoptelea integrifolia Planch, family Ulmaceae was chosen for intensive photochemical investigation that led to isolation of nine compounds from the ethyl acetate extract; four terpenoids..............

Abstract:This comparative study was carried out between Carniolan, Carniolan hybrid, Italian and Italian hybrid races of Apis mellifera to evaluate their workers brood rearing and pollen storage activities during a whole year under the natural temperature and relative humidity conditions. The largest amounts of stored pollen and workers brood were recorded in spring and the lowest were in winter for all races. It was observed two peaks of stored pollen amounts in May (clover season) and August (maize season), while, the lowest amounts were recorded in December...............

Abstract: The taxonomical analysis of two genera Caranx and Carangoides is argumentative because of there are many similarities between them. In this work Start Codon Targeted (SCoT) polymorphism were used for studying the genetic diversity and relationships among three species of carangids, (Carangoides bajad, Caranx sexfasciatus and Caranx melampygus) collecting from Hurghada Red Sea, Egypt. The results revealed that there are of 325 fragments were generated by the Twelve primers in the three species. A total of 192 fragments were generated by the Twelve primers in the two species Carangoides bajad..............

Abstract: Plumbagozeylanica Linn. is an under shrub growing 2 to 4 feet in height with woody stem branched wild plant known as chitrak, belong to family Plumbaginaceae. Dry roots of Plumbagozeylanica are good source of Plumbagin which is of high medicinal value. Research have shown that plants cannot utilize 60% nitrogen and 20% Phosphorus applied even through best management practices adopted under ordinary condition. This plant avail more than 30% nitrogen and 10% Phosphorus. Due wild habitat following measures should be considered in order to obtain maximum benefit with minimum doses of bio fertilizers. The present study was carried out to grow this wild plant into cultivated habitats and further study of production of root and antimicrobial activity of Plumbagin extract from roots are done.

Abstract: Detoxification of mycotoxins must be taken to ensure food and feed safety. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of Yarrowia lipolytica on mycotoxin elimination and inhibition of Fusarium moniliforme growth. In this study, Y. lipolytica could remove 84.92% of Fuminosin B1 (FB1) and 80.64% of zearalenone (ZEN) from potato dextrose broth medium. Yeast cells and culture broth decreased FB1 by 34.16% and 82.59%, along with decreasing ZEN by 51.83% and 75.34%, respectively. Optimization results showed highest degradation percentage after..............

Abstract: The control of desertification has focused for centuries on plants and animals; microbial profiles are largely unknown. We collected soil samples from the aeoliansandy land (SL), sandy grassland (SG), and restored sandy land (RS), respectively. Diversity indexes were determined based on 16S rDNA sequencing. Results show that SL is of the highest species diversity and richness as deduced from Shannon index(SL>RS>SG)and Menhinick index (SL>RS>SG), while the microbial distribution is most homogeneous in RS and most inhomogeneous in SG as deduced from Evenness index (RS>SL>SG).
