Ethnicity and risk factors among Indian coronary artery disease patients.

In this study, an attempt was made to investigate the distribution of coronary risk factors in male patients with coronary artery disease (CAD)(n=50 each) belonging to Jaat and Vaishya castes. A Significantly higher average height, waist and hip circumferences, glucose, and waist-height ratio were observed in Jaats compared to the Vaishyas (p=0.000).

Biopesticide efficacy of four plant essential oils against papaya mealybug, Williams and Granara de Willink (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae).

Worldwide, causes 75% of estimated economic loss in papaya farming, with an increase in production costs. The extract of plant essential oils (PEO) has the potential to control by degrading its wax coatings to death; however, it is less studied in the East African agroecosystem. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of four PEO from (neem, citrus, garlic, and castor) against at different concentrations (0.

Contribution of the Dolichos Lablab value chain to farmer's household livelihood assets in Tanzania.

Lablab is a legume with multiple uses as food, feed, and organic fertilizer. However, it is underutilized, and its empirical contribution to farmers' livelihoods is limited. This study examined the Lablab value chain (LVC) relative to smallholder farmers' livelihood assets in Tanzania.

Characterization of Farmer's knowledge and management practices of papaya mealybug (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) in Tanzania.

Papaya mealybug (PMB) is a serious insect pest for papaya production in Sub-Saharan Africa, limiting production potential in farming communities. We did a household survey to evaluate the Characteristics of farmers' knowledge, challenges, and current (PMB) control practices in four papaya growing regions of Tanzania namely, Tanga, Dodoma, Pwani, and Katavi involving 100 papaya farmers. The study found that 96% of farmers reported PMB, as a major challenge in papaya production.

Farmers' Participatory Plant Selection of Lablab ( (L.) Sweet) in Tanzania.

Farmer-participatory breeding approach is an important component in the crop improvement of lablab ( (L.) Sweet). The study was carried out to obtain the knowledge, practices and preferences of lablab through 31 lablab growing-farmers from Arusha, Kondoa, Karatu, Same and Babati districts of Tanzania toward initiating a lablab breeding program.

Status of carotenoids in elite and landrace maize genotypes: Implications for provitamin A biofortification in Tanzania.

Maize is among the crops containing carotenoids that are easily converted to vitamin A and have an enormous influence on consumers' health. Principally maize has high calories and proteins but has less number of other micronutrients such as vitamin A. Societies that use maize as their main and sole staple food are likely to be affected by vitamin A deficiency.

N-Amino-1,8-Naphthalimide is a Regenerated Protecting Group for Selective Synthesis of Mono-N-Substituted Hydrazines and Hydrazides.

A new route to synthesis of various mono-N-substituted hydrazines and hydrazides by involving in a new C-N bond formation by using N-amino-1,8-naphthalimide as a regenerated precursor was invented. Aniline and phenylhydrazines are reproduced upon reacting these individually with 1,8-naphthalic anhydride followed by hydrazinolysis. The practicality and simplicity of this C-N dihalo alkanes; developed a synthon for bond formation protocol was exemplified to various hydrazines and hydrazides.

Breeding potential of lablab [ (L.) Sweet]: a review on characterization and bruchid studies towards improved production and utilization in Africa.

Lablab () [ (L.) Sweet] is termed a lost, underutilized and neglected crop in Africa. Despite the multipurpose use, production, consumption and research are still limited.

A Review on Papaya Mealybug Identification and Management Through Plant Essential Oils.

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) production suffers from a multitude of abiotic and biotic constraints, among those are insect pests, diseases, and environmental conditions. One of the seriously damaging pests of papaya is invasive papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus, which can inflict heavy yield loss if not contained.

Dolichos Lablab-an underutilized crop with future potentials for food and nutrition security: a review.

Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) particularly goal number two in developing countries by 2030 is challenging. The State of Food Security and Nutrition (2019) in the World show prevalence of undernourishment which has practically remained unchanged for the last three years. This calls for sustainable synergies between food and nutrition in addressing the challenge.

Study comparing the effectiveness of chlorhexidine, calcium hydroxide and linezolid based medicaments against enterococcus faecalis.

Purpose: This study evaluated the efficacy of 2% chlorhexidine (CX), calcium hydroxide (CH), Vitapex® (VP), linezolid (LZ), a combination of LZ with CH (LC) against Enterococcus faecalis (EF).

Study Design: EF strains were mixed with peptone water and the turbidity was adjusted to the McFarland's turbidity standard tube No: 0.5.

Dentulous appliance for upper anterior edentulous span.

This article discusses about a fixed dentulous appliance that was constructed to replace the primary upper anterior edentulous span in a four year old girl. It constituted a design, whereby the maxillary primary second molars were used to support the appliance through bands and a wire that contained an acrylic flange bearing trimmed acrylic teeth, anteriorly. The appliance was functionally and aesthetically compliant.

STR data for the Amp FlSTR Profiler Plus loci among 27 populations of different social hierarchy from southern part of Andhra Pradesh, India.

Allele frequency for the 9 STR loci (D3S1358, vWA, FGA, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820) were estimated from a total of 1096 individuals belonging to 27 endogamous populations from the state of Andhra Pradesh, India, covering the entire gamut of socio-economic variation of the linguistic region. These loci are found to be highly polymorphic within the populations with high levels of average heterozygosity (>0.80).

Copper influenced changes of lipid metabolism in the tissues of freshwater teleost Labeo rohita (Hamilton).

Modulations in the lipid metabolism in the gill, liver, muscle and brain of freshwater teleost Labeo rohita exposed to 1, 2 and 3 days to lethal (1.2 mg/l) and 1, 15 and 30 days to sublethal (0.24 mg/l) concentrations of copper were studied.
