Various strength of alcohol were utilized for the preparation of tincture of asparagus racemosus roots by maceration for 7, 14 and 21 days. 50% (V/V) alcohol after 21 days of maceration showed maximum yield of total solid. The tinctures were evaluated by studying their different physico-chemical characteristics along with thin-Layer chromatography.

The Australian plague locust, Chortoicetes terminifera (Walker), is an important agricultural pest and oviposits into compacted soil across vast semi-arid and arid regions prone to irregular heavy summer rainfall. This study aimed to quantify the effects of flooding (control, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 days) at different temperatures (15, 20 and 25°C) and embryonic development stages (25 and 75%) on ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of 16% carbamide peroxide gel (CP16%), tetrahydrate sodium perborate (SP) and mixture (CP16% + SP), in walking bleaching of non-vital discolored teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty single-rooted human premolars with intact crowns were used and initial color was assessed using Vita shade guide and standardized photos. The teeth were stained using rabbit fresh ...

fish larvae experience major cellular and biochemical changes during their early life stages.the aim of the present study was to evaluate alterations in the antioxidant status and values oflipid peroxidation and vitamin c content during the different life developmental stages ofhypophthalmichthys molitrix. eggs and larvae were sampled at fertilization, organogenesis,eyed egg, hatch, active feed...

OBJECTIVES Although the majority of infants with severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) can be managed with balloon or surgical aortic valvotomy, a more complex biventricular repair may be required in a subset of infants with multi-level obstruction, failure of or complication to prior intervention. In the presence of normal left ventricle size and inflow, the Ross procedure ...

We assessed the ability of a French population of Aedes albopictus to transmit yellow fever virus (YFV). Batches of 30 to 40 female mosquitoes were analysed at 7, 14 and 21 days post-exposure (dpe). Bodies, heads and saliva were screened for YFV. Infectious viral particles were detected in bodies and heads at 7, 14 and 21 dpe whereas the virus was found in saliva only from 14 dpe. Our results s...

Methods: A total of 1050 pigs were assigned to pens (n = 48) on the basis of weight and gender. Average body weight at trial initiation was 78.5 kg. Four dietary treatments were randomly assigned to pens and stratified across weight and gender. Dietary treatments included control (0 g/ tonne RAC for 35 days); constant (5.0 g/ tonne RAC for 35 days); Step 2 (5.0 g/ tonne RAC for 14 days then 10....
