abstract      background and objective: aluminum phosphide (alp) is a solid non-organic phosphide with dark gray or dark yellow crystals. it reacts with stomach acid after ingestion and causes phosphine gas to be released. it is thought that phosphine causes toxicity from enzymatic interference and may even lead to cell death. this study aimed to investigate the effects of poisoning with rice t...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of isolated protein from white rice on lipid metabolism in a hypercholesterolemic animal model. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups and fed either a normal diet or a high-cholesterol diet (HCD) containing either casein or isolated rice protein for 4 weeks. Compared with rats fed a HCD with casein, the total cholesterol (TC...

Rice is predominantly a starch richendosperm portionof paddy (Oryza sativa). It is an important cereal used as staple food by over half of the world population. About 90% of dry matter of milled rice is starch and the rest are non-starch components like protein, lipids and ash. Most of the rice based products in Indian sub continent especially in southern part of India are made from rice flour ...

This paper reports a soil-based bioassay of rice husk bio-ash impacts on redox properties and rice production. Bio-ash was produced during the pyrolytic process of rice husk as a boiler fuel, after which it was applied as an amendment to a flooded soil. Bio-ash was amended before rice transplanting at different mass rates including 0%, 0.1%, 1% and 5%, which was defined as T1, T2, T3, and T4 re...

A study was carried out to determine the health effects of rice husk dust in Malaysian rice millers. The study population consisted of 122 male Malay workers from three rice mills, with 42 controls of similar age, sex, ethnic group, and agricultural work background. Interviews using standardised questionnaires, physical examination, total and differential white cell counts, chest radiographs, a...

In West Bengal, it is most promising to tender early maturing high yielding varieties of rice since they can fulfil their life cycle successfully within short period of persisting cool temperature. The objective of this present investigation was to identify these high yielding early maturing genotypes of rice having quality characters and higher performance in grain yield. A study was conducted...

BACKGROUND Around the world, beans and rice are commonly consumed together as a meal. With type 2 diabetes increasing, the effect of this traditional diet pattern on glycemic response has not been studied fully. METHODS We evaluated the glycemic response of bean and rice traditional meals compared to rice alone in adults with type 2 diabetes. Seventeen men and women with type 2 diabetes contr...

OBJECTIVE To describe a new intraoperative bile leakage test in patients undergoing a major liver resection aimed to combine the advantages of each of the other standard bile leakage tests (accurate visualization of leaks, reproducibility, and ease of use) without their disadvantages. METHODS At the end of the major hepatic resection, 10 to 30 mL of sterile fat emulsion, 5%, is injected via a...

The rice white tip nematode, Aphelenchoides besseyi, is the primarily important seed-borne pest of rice and was first recorded in Turkey in 1995. These biological agents, such as an entomopathogenic fungus (EPF), entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN), and bacterial supernatants, have been used against other plant parasitic nematodes but as far as not against A. besseyi. Accordingly, the EPF species,...

Calocybe indica, known as milky white mushroom, grows and cultivated in the sub-tropical and temperate zones of South Asia. We investigated the most suitable supplements and their levels for the commercial cultivation of milky white mushroom. Rice bran, maize powder, and wheat bran with their different levels (10, 20, 30, 40, and 50%) were used as supplements to evaluate the yield and yield con...
