Aflatoxin B1 Contamination Association with the Seed Coat Biochemical Marker Polyphenol in Peanuts Under Intermittent Drought.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contamination (AC) increases as the severity of drought stress increases in peanuts. Identifying drought-tolerant (DT) genotypes with resistance to colonization and/or infection may aid in developing peanuts resistant to aflatoxin contamination in the semi-arid tropics. The goal of this study is to identify DT genotypes with seed coat biochemical resistance to infestation and aflatoxin contamination.

Abundant chaos in a mixer model with a hysteretic iron core inductance.

Industrial mixers are equipment used in food, drug, chemical and semiconductor industries. Chaotic mixing has been proposed to improve the degree of homogeneity and reduce the energy consumption. This paper deals with dynamical studies of a mixer model with complex rotational movements.

Vertebromedular histoplasmosis: About a case of transverse myelitis in a young and immunocompetent adult.

Systemic mycosis raging endemic, histoplasmosis has an increasing incidence with the advent of HIV-AIDS. The authors report a case of vertebra-medullar histoplasmosis mimicking tuberculous spondylodiscitis in a patient without proven immunosuppression. This was a patient who spent 3 years in a highly endemic area.

Diabetic Retinopathy: An Overview of Treatments.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR), substantially impacts the quality of life of diabetic patients, it remains, in developed countries, the leading cause of vision loss in working-age adults (20-65 years). Currently, about 90 million diabetics suffer from DR. DR is a silent complication that in its early stages is asymptomatic.

Influence of socioeconomic factors on the nutritional status of pupils of 5 to 11 in rural areas in cameroon: Case of the Nyambaka municipality in the Adamawa region.

Malnutrition greatly increases the risk of infant mortality and vulnerability to various diseases later in the long run. It has been shown that children's malnutrition is the result of low household income. Rural areas in Cameroon are mainly made up of poor families.
