An oil pipeline ruptured in May 1994 and 2 700 tons of crude oil leaked into the São Sebastião Channel, affecting several neighboring areas. A program for the monitoring of hydrocarbons in sediments, using the gas chromatography / flame ionization detector methodology, was being undertaken in the area at the time. The data obtained were compared to those of samples collected after the accident ...

A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of kitchen waste compost (KWC) and NPK fertilizers on growth yield tomato. It laid out in a completely randomized block design (CRBD) using 25 treatments having 3 replications each. Agronomic parameters tomato were recorded at 15, 30, 45, 60 days interval. The highest parameter found with days. tallest plant height (57 cm) T13(N120P60K80 kg ...

BACKGROUND Sewage workers are exposed to multiple chemicals among which many are suspected genotoxicants. Therefore, they might incur DNA damage and oxidative stress. We aimed to explore integrated urinary biomarkers, assessing the overall urine genotoxicity by in vitro comet and micronucleus assays and measuring urinary 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine. METHODS During three consecutive working days, ...


 A pot experiment was carried out to check the impact of different organic manures and inorganic fertilizers on growth yield turnip, at Horticulture Departmental experimental area, Faculty Agriculture, Gomal University, D.I. Khan, during 2012-13. The laid in RCD with seven treatments replicated three times. Treatments contained control (no fertilizer added), FYM @ 25 t/hec, Poultry manure...

A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted on 60 sewage workers and 30 matched unexposed referents from Mansoura city, Egypt, to estimate the prevalence and risk factors of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Stool culture and detection of H. pylori antigen were done. In addition, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of cytotoxin-associated gene A (cagA) gene in H. pylori in st...

Magnesium alloys are attracting great interest from the automotive industry because of the potential for weight reduction. An AZ91D cast alloy was studied in the current work to understand the effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and dynamic compressive properties. The selected heat treatments include solution treatment (T4) and solution treatment followed by aging (T6). The as-cast a...

Using anti-T6 and anti-HLA-DR monoclonal antibodies, this study was designed to attain what would do to epidermal Langerhans cell (LC) markers in psoriatic patients when two remedies, etretinate and UVB, having controversial effects on LC were put to use simultaneously. In normal and psoriatic subjects, HLA-DR+ LC was approximately 80% of T6+ LC and a single dose of UVB equivalent to minimal er...

An experiment was carried out during the winter season (rabi) for two years 2019-20 and 2020-21 on Instructional cum Research Farm, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalay, Raipur (C.G.) to enhance production of baby corn through intercropping. The laid in randomized block design (RBD) with eight treatment consisting sole paired row along a combination various legumes. treatments were T1 : (45 x 20...

treated with corticosteroids was found to have a statistically significant higher mortality rate compared to the placebo group [4]. This means that not only is the treatment with high dose corticosteroids not beneficial in cases of TON, it may in fact be harmful when given to patients with severe head trauma and brain injury. We present the case of a patient with bilateral TON. Bilateral TON is...
