ASSOCIATION OF MPV AND RDW WITH DISEASE ACTIVITY IN PATIENT WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation of the synovial joints. Disease activity assessment plays a crucial role in guiding treatment decisions and monitoring disease progression in RA patients. Thus, the current study examines the association between Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW), and disease activity in RA patients.

Design of double sampling inspection plans for life tests under time censoring based on Pareto type IV distribution.

Sampling inspection plans for life tests, called reliability sampling plans, are generally employed to determine the acceptance or non-acceptance of the lot(s) of finished products by performing tests on the sampled items, measuring the lifetime of the items and observing the number of failures of items. Lifetime of individual items is a prime quality characteristic that can be treated as a continuous random variable and can be modeled by an appropriate probability distribution. In this article, double sampling plans for life tests under time censoring with a provision to draw two random samples and to admit a maximum of one failure in the combined samples are formulated assuming that the lifetime random variable follows a Pareto type IV distribution.

A Biofloc-Based Aquaculture System Bio-augmented with Probiotic Bacteria Bacillus tequilensis AP BFT3 Improves Culture Environment, Production Performances, and Proteomic Changes in Penaeus vannamei.

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the probiotic effect of bio-augmented Bacillus tequilensis AP BFT3 on improving production, immune response, and proteomic changes of Penaeus vannamei reared in a biofloc system. Penaeus vannamei larvae (PL13) were stocked in 100-L tanks at a rate of 100 no per tank to study the effect of B. tequilensis AP BFT3 with and without biofloc (BFT-PRO and PRO).

Bioaugmentation of biofloc system with enzymatic bacterial strains for high health and production performance of Penaeus indicus.

The beneficial effects of two probiotic bacterial strains Marinilactibacillus piezotolerans and Novosphingobium sp. during the culture of Indian white shrimp, Penaeus indicus, under biofloc and clear water system were evaluated. The experimental variation were CW1 (M.

Bio-augmentation of heterotrophic bacteria in biofloc system improves growth, survival, and immunity of Indian white shrimp Penaeus indicus.

Effect of bio-augmentation of Bacillus spp in biofloc on growth, survival and immunity in Indian white shrimp Penaeus indicus was evaluated. Nine Bacillus strains were isolated and screened individually as well as in the form of a consortia. To maintain a C:N ratio of 12:1 a blend of carbohydrate sources was used.

Carbohydrate sources deferentially influence growth performances, microbial dynamics and immunomodulation in Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) under biofloc system.

This study aims to evaluate the influence of different carbohydrate sources on water quality, growth performance and immunomodulation in pacific white shrimp and to find an alternate for molasses in biofloc system. The experiment consists of 8 biofloc treatments with different carbon sources, C1 (maida flour), C2 (wheat flour), C3 (gram flour), C4 (millet flour), C5 (rice flour), C6 (corn flour), C7 (molasses), C8 (multigrain flour) and un-supplemented control C0 was conducted in 200 L tank system for 120 days. Shrimp juveniles of average weight 1 g were stocked at the rate of 300 nos/m.

Carbon: Nitrogen (C:N) ratio level variation influences microbial community of the system and growth as well as immunity of shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in biofloc based culture system.

Biofloc technology (BFT) is a novel modern aquaculture farming technique used to reduce toxic nitrogen concentration, act as in situ food source and eradicate pollutants using carbon and therefore to control C:N ratio in an aquaculture system. In this study, effect of different C:N ratios of a biofloc based system on water quality such as the level of Total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) nitrite-nitrogen (NO-N) and nitrate nitrogen (NO-N) were explored. Further, the growth and immunity status of shrimp L.
