INTRODUCTION Constipation may be primary or secondary. Pathophysiologic subtypes of primary constipation are dyssynergic defecation (DD), slow (STC), and normal transit constipation (NTC). Clinical subtypes are functional constipation (FC) and constipation predominant IBS (C-IBS). AIMS The objectives of this paper are to study the clinical profile, categorize and compare various subtypes of p...

anise hyssop is a prennial herb belonging to the lamiaceae family. essential oil of this plant is used in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics industries as well as flavoring liqueurs. since water stress affects the growth, productivity, as well influences the active principles governing medicinal plants, in this research the effect of different water deficit stresses on such morphological traits a...

Nutrient dense instant porridge was prepared with flours from corn, whole wheat, malted finger millet, sprouted whole green gram, soy protein isolates, unsalted roasted peanuts, dairy whitener and dried papaya in different ratios to make the multi-nutrient mix. Processing parameters viz. Flour Concentration (FC):10-20%, Sugar Concentration (SC): 50-75% and Cooking Time (CT): 1-5 min were optimi...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), diagnosed by symptom-based criteria due to lack of biomarkers, need translatedvalidated questionnaires in different languages. As Bengali, the mother tongue of Bangladesh and eastern India, is the seventh most spoken language in the world, we translated and validated the Enhanced Asian Rome III questionnaire (EAR3Q) in this language...

Traditional (silage) maize production often has negative side-effects related to unprotected soil surface. There are several possibilities enhance system sustainability through reducing disturbance. However, implementation may be hindered due reduced nitrogen availability and increased weed infestation, especially in organic agriculture. A field experiment evaluate yield potential of 18 silage ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Mucosal healing is an important predictor of disease-related outcome in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, including those in clinical remission. However, colonoscopy is an invasive procedure and many patients decline repeated endoscopic examinations. We aimed to assess whether noninvasive biomarkers could accurately detect endoscopic mucosal inflammato...

The aim of this experiment was to investigate the exogenous application salicylic acid (SA) on morpho-physiological and molecular characteristics Impatiens walleriana plants grown under water deficit stress. Three levels soil contents (95, 85, 75% field capacity; FC) three SA (0, 1, 2 mM) were applied two impatient cultivars (‘Tempo’ ‘Salmon’). results showed that increasing stress negatively a...

While many cell types express receptors for the Fc domain of IgG (Fc g R), only primate polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) express an Fc g R linked to the membrane via a glycan phosphoinositol (GPI) anchor. Previous studies have demonstrated that this GPI-linked Fc g R (Fc g RIIIB) cooperates with the transmembrane Fc g R (Fc g RIIA) to mediate many of the functional effects of immune complex ...
