Impacts of long-term irrigation with coalmine effluent contaminated water on trace metal contamination of topsoil and potato tubers in Dinajpur area, Bangladesh.

Rapid depletion of groundwater and climate change mediated shifting precipitation pattern is forcing farmers to look for alternative irrigation options like wastewater. However, routine irrigation with trace metal contaminated wastewaters could potentially pollute soil as well as cause health risks through the consumption of food products grown in contaminated soil. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the trace metals build-up status in topsoil and potato ( L.

Antimicrobial Efficacy of Liquorice Extracts on Most Common Endodontics Pathogens.

Aim: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Antimicrobial effect of liquorice extracts and compare its action to commonly used root canal medicaments like calcium hydroxide and chlorhexidine against and .

Materials And Methods: Ethanolic and aqueous extracts of liquorice root were prepared. Antimicrobial activity was tested by agar well diffusion method on and using Mueller Hinton agar.

Sett priming with salicylic acid improves salinity tolerance of sugarcane ( L.) during early stages of crop development.

Sugarcane ( L.), a globally cultivated carbohydrate producing crop of industrial importance is being challenged by soil salinity due to its glycophytic nature. Water stress coupled with cellular and metabolic alterations resulting from excess sodium (Na) ion accumulation is irreversibly damaging during early crop developmental stages that often results in complete crop failure.

Comparison of platelet indices in dengue fever patients based on platelet transfusion: A prospective observational study in a tertiary care center.

Context: Dengue fever is the most prevalent mosquito-borne viral disease in humans. Platelet indices (PIs) are given by the cell counters but are often not reported which is possibly due to under-recognition of the utility of these parameters.

Aims: This study aimed to compare PIs in patients with dengue fever to assess their role in the outcome such as hospital stay and platelet transfusion requirements.

Prevalence of Dental Caries in Adult South Indian Population in Association with Dietary Pattern: A Comparative Study.

Background: Dental caries is considered to be one of the most prevalent dental diseases among humans. It involves cycles of demineralization and remineralization. The etiology and pathogenesis of dental caries are multifactorial.

Free thin anterolateral thigh flap for post-burn neck contractures - a functional and aesthetic solution.

Neck contractures after burn injuries produce restrictions in motion and unacceptable aesthetic outcomes. Although different methods of reconstruction have been used in the treatment of this ailment, a limited and unsatisfactory outcome often results. Free thin anterolateral flaps have been found to be a good single stage option for reconstruction of post-burn contractures of the neck.

Homology modeling, molecular dynamics and atomic level interaction study of snake venom 5' nucleotidase.

5' Nucleotidase (5' NUC) is a ubiquitously distributed enzyme known to be present in snake venoms (SV) that is responsible primarily for causing dysregulation of physiological homeostasis in humans by inducing anticoagulant effects and by inhibiting platelet aggregation. It is also known to act synergistically with other toxins to exert a more pronounced anti-coagulant effect during envenomation. Its structural and functional role is not yet ascertained clearly.
