Pesticidal plant extract effect against major lepidopteran insect pests and their natural enemies in rice L.

Extracts of plants have been used to manage various insect pests, but little information is available about how effective they are in reducing crop damage or how they affect crop yield and beneficial insects in rice. Extracts from leaves, leaves, leaves, leaves, cloves, and fruits, known to have insecticidal properties, were compared with two checks, viz., Azadirachtin 1% EC and standard insecticide Acephate 95 SG, for their efficacy against yellow stem borer (YSB), (Walk.

Primary Gamma Knife Radiosurgery as a Treatment Option for Hamartoma of Floor of Fourth Ventricle: A case report of Pediatric Hemifacial Spasm.

Introduction Pediatric hemifacial spasm (HFS) is rare, presenting early in infancy, and often fraught with subsequent psychomotor and intellectual deficits. Fourth ventricular hamartoma (FVH) is a rare cause of HFS with only 5 cases reported in literature. While Gamma-knife radiosurgery (GKRS) has been used to treat hypothalamic hamartomas, this is the first case of FVH treated with primary GKRS.

Short-Term Effectiveness and Tolerability of Vigabatrin Therapy in Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome.

The study evaluated the short-term effectiveness and tolerability of vigabatrin therapy in children with infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS). Children with IESS were enrolled within two weeks of initiation of vigabatrin and prospectively followed up to 12 wk for complete cessation of epileptic spasms (ES) and occurrence of adverse events. Of 107 children studied, there was a preponderance of structural etiology (82.

Synthetic MRI derived relaxometry parameters: a new insight into characterization of ring enhancing lesions of brain.

Background And Purpose: Synthetic MRI utilizes the quantitative relaxometry parameters to generate multiple contrast images through a single acquisition. We tried to explore the utility of synthetic MRI derived relaxometry parameters in evaluation of ring enhancing lesions of brain.

Materials And Methods: This was a prospective study.

All-fiber E + S band continuously tunable bismuth-doped germanosilicate fiber laser.

In this Letter, we present an all-fiber bismuth (Bi)-doped germanosilicate fiber laser that is continuously tunable within the range of 1425-1475 nm, enabled by a tunable optical filter. A maximum output power of 86.4 mW was achieved at 1450 nm with a slope efficiency of 13.
