In eastern North America, apple orchards are often attacked by several species of tortricid moths (Lepidoptera), including , , , and . Sex pheromones are routinely used to monitor male moth populations. Adding plant volatiles to monitoring traps could increase the capture of moths of both sexes and improve the effectiveness of mating disruption systems.

There is a plethora of research to evaluate degree of collagen deposition using various simple histochemical techniques, but its correlation with total serum protein (TSP) level has not been explored so far.
Materials And Methods: This case-control study comprised total forty samples with thirty cases of OSMF and ten cases were selected as control group, divided into four groups as per Lai .
Background: Plant protein intake is associated with lower production of uremic toxins and lower serum phosphorus levels. Therefore, at a given total protein intake, a higher proportion of dietary protein from plant sources might be associated with lower mortality in chronic kidney disease.
Study Design: Observational study.
Objectives: It is unknown whether muscle wasting accounts for impaired physical function in adults on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).
Design: Observational study.
Setting: Outpatient dialysis units and a fall clinic.
Objective: The objective of this study was to examine whether more advanced kidney failure is associated with sedentary behavior and whether demographics, comorbidity, nutritional, and inflammatory markers explain this association.
Design: Observational study.
Setting: Outpatients recruited from outpatient clinics and dialysis units.
