Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to evaluate genetic diversity in Momordica dioica by examining various traits in 21 accessions, using methods like the best linear unbiased predictor (BLUPs) for analysis.
  • - Key traits like fruit weight, yield per plant, and vine length were found to contribute significantly to growth and yield characteristics, leading to the identification of three clusters, with group III housing the most genotypes.
  • - Various genetic parameters, including heritability and genetic variability, were calculated, showing high phenotypic and genotypic variability for several traits, such as vine length and fruit weight, indicating good potential for trait-specific line development.

Introduction: To evaluate the effectiveness of paracetamol and ibuprofen as non-opioid treatments for postpartum pain control after vaginal delivery.

Materials And Methods: This randomized controlled study at a university-affiliated medical center involved parturient who received blindly oral tablets of either 1000 mg of paracetamol or 400 mg of ibuprofen, post-vaginal birth. Pain levels were assessed using a numeric rating scale (NRS) at four time points: before treatment, and 1, 4, and 6 h post-treatment (T0, T1, T4, and T6, respectively).
