Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth and Yield Parameters of Maize (zea mays l.) As well as Soil Physicochemical Properties | A field experiment was conducted during the winter season of 2013 at a main research field of the School of Agriculture Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab (India) to study the influence of integrated nutrient management on growth and yield parameters of maize (Zea mays l.) as well as soil physico-chemical properties. The growth parameters (plant height and leaf area) were found to be highest under INM (Integrated Nutrient Management) of poultry manure (PM) or farm yard manure (FYM)and recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) which are statistically on par but comparatively higher than T₁ (100% RDF). The yield parameters (number of grains per cob, cobs weight per plant, Test weight and stover yield) were significantly higher under INM compared to T₁ (100% RDF). Furthermore, post harvest soil physico-chemical properties (organic carbon and available nitrogen) were significantly improved under T₃ (5t PM + 50% RDF), whereas soil available phosphorus was recorded maximum under T₅ (5t PM + 100% RDF) compared to control and rest of the treatments combination. Therefore, the integration of 50% RDF along with either 5 t/ha FYM or PM or both resulted in maximum maize productivity on par compared with sole used of 100% RDF.

An Unusual Case of Statin-Related Myopathy | A 68 year male patient (KB) presented in August 2014 with profound muscle weakness of the hip and legs. Treatment with an 8 cycle regimen of CHOP for NHL 10 years earlier led to complete remission. He had also been treated for BPH with doxazosin, finasteride, and tadalafil. He was otherwise in good health with an eGFR of 77 mL/min. Rosuvastain had maintained lipid levels below targeted values for two years. He was subsequently referred to a neurologist (PZ). Radiological, laboratory, and neuromuscular tests were negative. KB abstained from rosuvastatin beginning in March, 2015. Subjective feelings and objective measures of muscle weakness began improving. Pravastatin 20mg challenge exacerbated weakness, and was stopped. Weakness improved until atorvastatin was initiated in October 2015, but was discontinued after only two doses when leg weakness worsened. The patient has been statin-free since November, 2015. On follow-up on February 10, 2016 muscle strength was objectively normal. For More Articles: Biomedical Journal Articles : https://biomedres.us/

Art and Science Newton’s Third Law: Action = Reaction | Newton’s Third Law has been active in the universe as from its creation although it was stated by him only in 1687. Isaac Newton, an English natural philosopher and the most original and influential thinker in the history of science was born on 1642 and died in 1727. His three laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation, which were the keystone of the scientific revolution in the 17^th century, made it possible to design airplanes, spaceships and satellites, etc. The third law states that when one body exerts a force on the other body, then the second body exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body, namely, action = reaction. According to Newton, forces always appear in pairs where each force acts on the other body. Mathematically the law is expressed by F12 = F21 where F designates force, 1 designates object 1 and 2 is object 2 where F12 is the force exerted by body 1 on body 2 and similarly F21.

Diurnal Effect of Selenium Supplementation on Adult Female Wistar Rats made Hypothyroid by Methimazole | Diurnal variation in gastric emptying is known to affect the bioavailability of ingest. The present study sought to understand the effect of consumption of selenium in daytime or nighttime on some clinical features of hypothyroidism in female wistar rats. 36 adult female wistar rats weighing 120-150g were randomly divided into 6 groups: vehicle-treated, methimazole, daytime – selenium, nighttime-selenium, methimazole+ daytime-selenium and methimazole+ nighttime selenium groups. Hypothyroidism was induced through oral administration of 1.35mg/kg body weight of methimazole. 7mg/ml of Selenomethionine was administered through drinking water for two weeks. When compared with vehicletreated group, methimazole administration caused a significant (P<0.05) decrease in caudal cold tolerance (CCT) and Body Temperature (BT). Rats administered selenium during day-time showed a significantly higher (P<0.05) plasma glucose and decreased CCT. Nighttime selenium administration to hypothyroid rats resulted in a significant decrease (P<0.05) in plasma glucose. There was an insignificant change in CCT and BT in hypothyroid rats administered selenium in day-time. In conclusion, the study showed that daytime selenium consumption may exert more positive influence on hypothyroidism than nighttime selenium consumption.

Medically Compromised Dental Patient: Dentists Nightmare | Present day advances in medical sciences and technology has resulted in substantial increase in the volume of dental patients with systemic illnesses. The term Medically Compromised refers to dental patients with impaired health status like pregnancy, or patients with systemic diseases like ischemic heart disease, congenital heart disease, liver disease, renal disease, asthma, patients with immunodeficiency and patients with altered immune status. Search of literature showed a paucity of data regarding prevalence of medical diseases and conditions among the dental patients. Absence or inadequacy of precautions needed to be taken while carrying out routine dental treatment in these patients may result in worsening their medical status or even result in a fatality. Care needs to be taken while prescribing medications for these patients in the form of altered dosage or altering the medications themselves. Medico-legal litigations are reportedly on the rise in all the countries across the globe due to increased patient activism and awareness of their rights and sensationalization of such cases by the media.

Nutriepigenomics Advances into Personalized Nutrition | This review presents an omics systems perspective that presents an integrated approach to understanding the contribution of the genetic, epigenetic, metabolomic, and proteomic interactions under the influence of a dynamic nutritional environment. The review takes into account the application of genomic and post-genomic era methodologies being used to study the impact of inter-individual phenotypic differences and disease susceptibility to current and future generations. Every individual alive today is a combination of the heliotypes inherited from their parents, and the results of genetic-epigenetic interaction influencing the fetal epigenome during pre-natal development and post-natal life. Epigenetic marks imprinted in-utero are attributed to deficits in the maternal contribution to the fetal nutritional environment. Integral to this discussion is the concept of developmental plasticity, which presents itself as an unfolding narrative in the “developmental origins of health and disease” (DOHaD) hypothesis, and the ‘predictive adaptive response (PAR)’ concept. When taken together, these concepts present the case for an adaptive response to developmental programming that canpredispose an individual to future diseaseor confers an advantage. Nutriepgenomics is the study of how nutrients affect human health through epigenetic modifications. Recent advances investigating how the nutritional environment during embryonic development influences the establishment of metabolic phenotypes that can contribute to the emergence of disease are discussed. Several encouraging trials suggest that prevention and therapy of age- and lifestyle-related diseases by individualized tailoring to optimal epigenetic diets including combinations of natural products, polyphenols or drugs are conceivable.

(Croatian, World) Soils – Between Food and Non-Food Functions and Ownership Relations | Summarizing “global soil inventory” through published books of World Soil Book Series of A. Hartemink there are recognizable two tendencies in global Soil sciences. One of them, just respecting importance of environment – regulatory (“non – food”) functions of soil, like soil scientists of Europe and developed countries expect to see the future of Soil science within environmental sciences. They insist on soil monitoring and “green energy” and more or less accept soil (land) as essential resource of (environmentally, socially economically) sustainable production of biofuels. The other one, productive function of soil – (food) oriented, see Soil science within agriculture and forestry, insisting on ever-higher yields of growing crops and forest.

Antibacterial Potential of Argemone mexicana Solvent Extracts against Neisseria | Gonorrhea is a sexual transmitted infection which is caused by Gram negative bacteria called Neisseria gonorrhoea (gonococcus). N. gonorrhoea is inherently susceptible to most antibiotics, but through continual usage, resistance has emerged. Plants employ antimicrobial activity of phytochemicals as a protection mechanism against pathogens. It is due to this activity that phytochemicals have landed themselves into the medical field as potential solutions to a rapidly increasing drug resistant spawn of microorganisms. There is an increased multiple antimicrobial resistant patterns in N. gonorrhoea due to continual use of specific antibiotics, foreign plasmid acquisition and genetic evolution. Emergence of multidrug resistant strains of the pathogen poses a threat and thus the need to seek alternative medicine. For More Articles: Biomedical Journal Impact Factor : https://biomedres.us/
