Abstract: Snake envenoming is a neglected tropical diseases mostly affecting rural farmers and their families, leading to morbidity and sometimes mortality. Over the years plants and their products have been useful in the treatment of snakebites. This study investigated the effect of methanol leaf extracts of Costus afer on rats injected with Naja nigricollis snake venom. Phytochemical analysis, plant and venom toxicities (LD50) were determined using standard methods while enzyme assays were carried out using spectrophotometric techniques. The phytochemicals were found to be high with tannins been the highest. The acute toxicity studies (LD50) of the plant extracts were found to be......

Abstract: Background: The amount of plastic waste is currently increasing along with its wider use. Alot of environmental problem is occurred cause the accumulation of plastics in the oceans. One of the many efforts currently being developed is to look for bacteria from nature that can decompose these synthetic plastics. In this paper we reported that bacterial isolation from plastic waste taken from Indonesian Ocean seawater was carried out at the Biotechnology Laboratory of Sumatran Biota, Universitas Andalas, Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Methods: This research used descriptive methods included the sampling activities by purposive sampling and then bacteria isolation by streak plate methods......

Abstract: Fishes are generally water breathers, where gills are responsible for the metabolic gases exchange. In many teleost fishes, gills are supplemented by skin and buccopharyngeal breathing which is also known as bimodal gas exchange. Majority of fishes show a remarkable ability to acclimate according to different temperature in the environment. They show a compensatory regulation in their metabolism to seasonal thermal variations. Poikilotherms regulate their metabolism and activity in the compensatory direction against thermal stress on the natural as well as laboratory conditions (RAO, 1971). In the present investigation in Puntius sophore a tropical freshwater teleost, compensation in the O2 consumption related to the seasonal thermal variations has been studied. In P. sophore at acute temperature the winter fish consumed more O2 than the summer one and at the respective habitat temperatures the winter and summer fish consumed O2 almost at the same level despite the difference in the habitat temperatures. Thus there is a compensatory regulation in the O2 consumption to the seasonal thermal variation in P. sophore.

Abstract: The present study evaluates hypoglycemic activity of active principle(s) from seeds of momordica charantia mediates through pancreatic as well as extra-pancreatic actions in Type-I diabetic animals. Blood glucose levels were evaluated before and after administration of different fractions of the seed extract. Among the three fractions tested, fraction MCK3 at a much lower dose of 15 mg/kg b.wt. showed the maximum hypoglycemic activity and reduced blood glucose levels in alloxan – induced diabetic rats significantly. The activities of the key regulatory enzymes of glucose......

Abstract: Diverse group of microorganism colonize phyllopshere and carry out different but specific ecological functions. The phyllosphere of five different vegetables plants; Common Okra)AbelmoschusesiculentusL., (Fluted Pumpkin) Telfariaoccidentalis, (African Spinach)Amaranthuscruentus ,(Jew's Mallow)Corchorusolitorius and (Lagos Spinach) Celosia argentea}, each from two different locations, (Student Union Building and the Fadama of Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State) were examined Microbiologically for bacterial growth using culture-dependent techniques. A total of 43 bacterial covering 11 genera were isolated and characterized as Citrobacter, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas , Streptococcus, Salmonella, Proteus, Shigella, Escherichia, Enterobacter, Klebsiella, and Bacillus.

Abstract: The objective of the present study was to examine the long term effects of fractionated bittermelon (Momordica charantia Linn.) seed extract on normolipidemic and hepatoprotective status in Type – I diabetic rats. Bittermelon (Momordica charantia Linn.) commonly known as "Karella‟ or "Balsam Pear" (family : Cucurbitaceae) is one of the most used plants for the treatment of diabetes mellitus [DM] and some of its late complex abnormalities including neuropathy, nephropathy retinopathy, hepatic damage, fatty liver and dyslipidemia leading to a accelerated atherosclerosis (cardio-vascular disease). Bittermelon whole fruit, fruit, fruit pulp, seeds and leaves has been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. To evaluate the normolipidemic and hepatoprotective status of bittermelon, levels of blood sugar, serum insulin and important biochemical parameters of lipid.......

Abstract: Macrophytes play an important role in pond ecosystem, where they provide food and habitat to fish, wild life and aquatic organisms. Only few plants usually become a problematic by stopping uses of water and threaten the diversity of natural pond ecosystem. These are also causing the reduction of the available water resources. When seasonal fluctuations occurred, the diversity of macrophytes is suddenly changed and also it blocked the drainage canals due to its profuse growth. In present study, a total of 9 macro phytes were recorded from litoral and sub-litoral zones of the pond. Among the rooted floating species Hydrilla spp. and Eichornia spp. Recorded. In sub margedmacrophytes, ceratophyllum spp. and Utriculariaspp were recorded.

Abstract: Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are the major source of medication error, particularly in older patients because of polypharmacy. Polypharmacy has been associated with increased adverse drug reactions, increased health-care costs and reduced functional capacity in older people. Patients with cardiovascular disease are at high risk of drug-drug interactions. The Drug utilization study evaluates the present and future trends of drug use pattern, detection of early signals of irrational drug therapy, estimation of drug expenditures, make interventions to improve drug use and quality control of drug use. DUS is a useful strategy for a cost effective healthcare and helps in rational drug therapy. This review reveals the influence of DUS to reduce the DDIs and ADRs, intensify the safety and efficacy of drug therapy and thereby improves the quality of life......

Abstract: Discussions on the infringing commercialization of public space by outside promoting feature its conceivable negative effect on neighborhood personal satisfaction and pleasure in public spaces. These over invigorating outside ads are regularly viewed as a wellspring of visual pollution, however urban areas have no standard method of estimating where it exists and its nearby effect, and subsequently can't manage it successfully. This investigation outlines that visual pollution can be estimated in a valuable manner by relating public assessment to the quantity of noticeable commercials (resoluteness examination). Utilizing a 2.5D open air ad (OA) dataset (area and stature) of a bustling metropolitan road in Lublin, Poland, this starter try makes an interpretation of perceivability into visual pollution. It was discovered that streetscape sees with in excess of seven noticeable OAs made visual pollution for this situation study. The GIS-based technique proposed could furnish Lublin authorities with a fundamental apparatus to evaluate and oversee visual pollution, by educating allowing choices on OAs.\

Abstract: The present study was carried out during Kharif seasons of 2020-21 and 2021-22 at the Agronomy Research Station and in the laboratory of the College of Agriculture, Bhagwant University, Ajmer, (Rajasthan) India. The soil was low in available nitrogen (195 kg ha-1) and phosphorus (18.5 kg ha-1) and medium in available potassium (229 kg ha-1). Average values for bulk density 1.41 g cc-1 and EC were 0.346 ds m-1. The experiment was conducted in split plot design with fifteen treatment combinations. The treatments consisted of three mulching treatments viz. M1-control (no mulch), M2- dust mulch and M3- rice straw mulch (7 t ha-1) in the main plots and five integrated nutrient management levels (..........
