Abstract: A wide variety of Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG) test systems enter the Indian market from various parts of the world. Blood Glucose Test Strip form the key component of an SMBG test system. The batches of Blood Glucose Test Strips that are repeatedly and periodically imported in India for use with these devices often come without any certified account of their performance aspects as 'precision' and 'accuracy'; from source. Even though they look like insignificant bits of plastic, their performance plays a very important role in monitoring the glucose control of patients with Diabetes. Hence, there is a need for monitoring and regulating the quality of these products. The Biochemical Kit Laboratory (BKL) of National Institute of Biologicals (NIB) that functions under the Ministry of Health..............

Abstract: The elevated global trend of terrorism needs to be smothered at childhood. Scientists are investigating for correlation between aggressiveness, pre-social personality traits, second digit & fourth digit ratio and prenatal androgen activity. Methods & Results: 144 children of 9-12 years are chosen randomly including 48 girls (9-11years). These samples were properly (age-wise) classified and grouped to assess all anthropometric and cognitive data. Verbal aggression and hostility of senior boys are found significantly correlated with their palm length and fourth digit length (4D); similarly for junior boys, second digit.............

Abstract: Plant galls are manifestations of growth and of differentiation induced on a plant by animal or plant parasite. Madhucalongifolia (Koenig) J.F. Macb.is widely distributed in tropical mixed deciduous forests in India in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, and Rajasthan. Leaf galls of Madhucalongifolia induced by insects of order diptera and hymenopter present unique pattern of chemical perturbations which normally do not occur in normal morphogenesis of the involved organ. The plant – pathogen interaction leads to production of increased secondary.........

Abstract: Brushite or calcium hydrogen phosphate dehydrate is commonly found in urinary stones. In the present study the single diffusion gel growth technique was used to grow brushite crystals in silica hydro gel medium. It provides controlled environment to simulate the growth of brushite containing urolithiasis under static conditions in the presence of healthy human urine. In this in vitro study, the supernatant solution containing calcium chloride was used to grow brushite crystals and considered as control. To study the effect of urine on the growth of brushite crystals, different volume.......

Abstract: Background: Prostate is a compound tubuloalveolar exocrine gland of the male reproductive system in most mammals. It considers differ among species anatomically chemically and physiologically. Prostate cancer also known as carcinoma of the prostate, is the development of cancer in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system .Most prostate cancers are slow growing; however, some grow relatively quickly. Testosterone in the presence of a slow-growing prostate cancer is assumed to increase its growth rate. However, the association between testosterone supplementation and the development of prostate cancer is unproven..............

Abstract: Tamoxifen is an effective anticancer drug. It's a hormonal treatment against estrogen which is necessary for the growth of cancer cells. This study was conducted to evaluate the negative effects of Tamoxifen on some physiological and histological. Use for this purpose 32 rats of the strain Sprague dawley albino rat and divided into 4 equal groups. 3 groups were given different doses (30, 40, 50)mg/kg body weight of TAM 3 times a week for 8 weeks as well as control group that was injected with physiological solution (normal saline 0.9%). At the end of dosage duration, the blood was collected for the purpose of studying some Biochemical parameters (Liver Functions). The results of........
