Abstract: Phosphorous is considered as one of the vital macronutrients for the development and biological growth of plant. A survey report suggested that 98% of North Indian alluvial soil is deficient in phosphate because it not available in the form of minerals and even after secondary reaction it do not convert products into available form of soil nutrients unlike potassium (illite mineral). There are several phosphate solubilizing microorganisms (PSM) which have the capability to covert insoluble phosphate of soil into soluble forms by synthesizing organic acids. The present study was conducted to isolate bacteria from the alluvial soil of Gangetic plains of North Bihar and to evaluate their phosphate solubilization potential. A total of 18 microbial strains were isolated out of which 11 were bacteria and 7 were fungi. The two bacterial isolates S1(v)23 and S2(v)12 were selected for further study...........

Abstract: Oxidative stress is defined as an imbalance between free radicals and the ability of the body to counteract or detoxify their harmful effects through neutralization by antioxidants. Involvement of oxygen radical has been suggested in many clinical conditions including Cardio vascular disease (CVD). The present investigation identified the SOD, catalase activity and describes the lipid profile by identifying the lipid peroxidation. The result shows that Lipid peroxidation as measured by the level of MDA was increased, where as SOD and catalase activities were decreased in patients with Cardio vascular disease
Key Words: Trace elements, Lipid peroxidation, Cardio vascular disease, Superoxide dismutase, Catalase. MDA- Malondialdehyde.

Abstract: The effect of aqueous and ethanol leaf extracts of Musa paradisiaca on serum proteins, liver and kidney function in albino rats was evaluated. Thirty-five (35) albino Wistar rats weighing between 120 -150g were divided into five (5) groups with seven rats in each group. Group A served as control while Groups B and C received 250mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg of the aqueous extract daily for 28 days. Groups D and E received 250 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg of the ethanol extract daily for 28 days. Blood samples were obtained through cardiac puncture and centrifuged to obtain serum which was used for biochemical assays. Serum liver enzymes (ALT, AST and ALP) activities, protein, bilirubin.........

Abstract: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide which is characterized by hyperglycemia. Chronic hyperglycemia causes increased glycation of proteins especially hemoglobin. It is well known that measurement of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) is useful in monitoring of glucose control in diabetic patients. Study consists of 45 type 2 diabetic patients. Out of which 26 patients were males and 19 were females. Fasting and postprandial blood samples were collected and analyzed for serum fasting glucose (FBS), postpradial glucose (PPBS), hemoglobin, iron, unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC), ferritin levels along with glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C.....

Abstract: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder of multiple etiologies characterized by absolute or relative deficiency of insulin secretion with or without varying degree of insulin resistance. Sedentary life style and obesity are two major epidemiological determinants of diabetes mellitus. The results clearly indicated that the aqueous extract of leaves of Annona squamosa presented significantly lowered body weight (P<0.001) when compared with the normal control (NC) mice in diabetic mice (DC). A significant body weight gain was observed in the treated groups of diabetic mice (DT150 and DT250) as compared to the DC ones. The DT150 and DT250 group showed an increase of 18% and 25% in body weight respectively after 15 days of treatment. Contrary to this DTRGZ group of mice showed...........

Abstract: Acid-base metabolic disorders are conditions that alter the normal body physiology that regulate the pH of blood in order to maintain normal biochemical functions. Maintenance of a constant pH is important for enzyme function, cellular uptake and use of metabolites and minerals, conformation of biological structures and uptake and release of oxygen. Such disorders include diabetes mellitus which can lead to development of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), with resultant reduction in pH of blood. Acute and chronic kidney diseases (CKD) also usually lead to excessive loss of bicarbonate ion in urine which eventually causes acid-base metabolic imbalance in the body. These two medical...........

Abstract:This paper gives a thorough outline of the state of the science in assessing possible effects of climate change on the human environment. The paper gives an outline of the state of effects research and layouts the examinations needed to make versatile approach. It compares moves toward that have been taken for estimating the human outcomes of climate change, and blueprints the aftereffects of climate change sway studies that have been performed both on individual sectors and whole locales.
The paper additionally examines both the aftereffects of studies of verifiable environmental changes that fill in as analogs for likely future climate change and the significant wellsprings of vulnerability. The paper finishes up with a rundown of effects, knowns and questions, and headings for future research..
