Fe and Zn Metal Nanocitrates as Plant Nutrients through Soil Application.

Nanocitrates of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) in the form of plant nanonutrients were examined for their behavior in soil and the uptake of these by 20-day old groundnut () seedlings under greenhouse conditions. The Fe (0.04 to 0.

Determinants of Suboptimal Outcome Following Thymectomy in Myasthenia Gravis.

Background: Response to thymectomy in myasthenia gravis (MG) is influenced by various patient-, disease-, and therapy-related factors.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of 128 patients with MG who underwent maximal thymectomy over 15 years was done to identify the determinants of suboptimal clinical outcome.

Results: Among the 128 patients, 62 (48.

A Clinical Study of a Standardized Extract of Leaves of (Roxb ex DC) in Postmenopausal Osteoporosis.

Context: had shown anti-osteoporotic and fracture-healing activities in animal models of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO). Standardized extract of leaves of (SEL-Ds) was clinically evaluated for osteoporosis.

Aims: To investigate the anti-osteoporotic activity of in PMO by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), biochemical markers, and effect on clinical profile.

Neuromyelitis optica and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder: Natural history and long-term outcome, an Indian experience.

Background: Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) has evolved from devic's classical description to a broader disease spectrum, from monophasic illness to a polyphasic illness with multiple recurrences, disease confined to optic nerve and spinal cord to now brain stem, cerebrum and even endocrinopathy due to hypothalamic involvement.

Objectives: To report, the epidemiological characteristics, clinical presentations, recurrence rate, treatment and response to therapy in 26 patients with NMO and NMO spectrum disorder among the Indian population.

Methods: We performed observational, retrospective analysis of our prospectively maintained data base of patients with NMO, longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis during the period of January 2003-December 2012 who satisfied the national multiple sclerosis society (NMSS) task force criteria for diagnosis of NMO and NMO spectrum disorder.

Multipoint incremental motor unit number estimation versus amyotrophic lateral sclerosis functional rating scale and the medical research council sum score as an outcome measure in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Introduction: Monitoring the disease progression in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a challenge due to different rates of progression between patients. Besides clinical methods to monitor disease progression, such as the ALS functional rating scale (ALSFRS) and the medical research council (MRC) sum score, quantitative methods like motor unit number estimation (MUNE) are of interest.

Objective: The objective of the present study is to evaluate the rate of progression in ALS using multipoint incremental MUNE and to compare MUNE, ALSFRS and MRC sum score at baseline and at 6 months for progression of the disease.
