Introduction: Congenial hypothyroidism due to thyroid dysgenesis is usually regarded as sporadic. However, a small but significant proportion of familial cases have been identified (2%). Herein, we describe a case report of unusually large family of 10 siblings, out of which five were affected with congenital hypothyroidism, which is supposed to be the world’s largest series of familial congeni...

In the comprehensive rearing of lepidopterans from peninsular India, eleven species of Lycaenidae were parasitized by ten species of wasps. Four new taxa of lycaenid associated microgastrine wasps Parapanteles eros Gupta n. sp., P. arka Gupta n. sp., P. esha Gupta n. sp., and P. regale Gupta n. sp. reared from Chilades pandava (Horsfield), Curetis thetis (Drury), Prosotas dubiosa (Semper), Taju...

The Ancient Egyptians recognized the pain-relieving effects of concoctions made from myrtle and willow leaves. Hippocrates may have been among the first to use willow bark and leaves from the Salix species to relieve fever, but it was not until 1829 that the glycoside salicin was extracted from the willow bark and used as an antipyretic. Seven years later, salicylic acid was isolated, and by th...

The appendix is a tubular structure that arises from the cecum and consists primarily of smooth muscle and an abundance of lymphoid tissue. The average adult appendix can reach a length of 10 cm with a luminal width of 6 to 7 mm. Innerva­ tion from sympathetic and vagus nerves accounts for referred pain to the umbilicus when inflammatory changes are present. The location of the appendix (retroc...

‎Recently‎, ‎a new distribution‎, ‎named as extended generalized exponential distribution‎, ‎has been introduced by Kundu and Gupta (2011). ‎In this paper‎, ‎we consider the extended generalized exponential distribution with known shape parameters α and β. ‎At first‎, ‎the exact expressions for marginal and product moments of o...

In the massive star-forming region IRAS 21078+5211, a highly fragmented cluster (0.1~pc in size) of molecular cores is observed, located at density peak an elongated (1~pc cloud. A small (1~km/s per 0.1~pc) LSR velocity (Vlsr) gradient detected across axis Assuming we are observing mass flow from harboring cloud to cluster, derive infall rate about 10^{-4}~M_{sun}~yr^{-1}. The most (labeled 1, ...
