Effects of organic manure (poultry manure) applied alone and integrated with inorganic fertilizer (urea) on yield and yield component, N-uptake and soil fertility in wheat-maize cropping system was evaluated in a field experiment at Nuclear Institute for Food and Agriculture, Peshawar, Pakistan. Poultry manure was applied alone and were integrated in different proportions with mineral nitrogeno...

The work of Benedict and Roth (l), published in 1913, indicated that there is little if any consistent difference between the basal metabolic rates of vegetarians and non-vegetarians. It was only after observing several cases of surprisingly low basal metabolic rates in vegetarian girls of normal health and intelligence that the writers of the present paper concluded that the length of the peri...

To study the anticoccidial and antioxidant effects of garlic powder (GP) and total sulfur amino acid (TSAA) on growth performance, faecal oocyst output, oxidative stress indicators and antioxidant status markers in broiler chickens, a 2 × 2 × 2 splitplot-factorial arrangement of treatments was used. A total of 480-day-old male broiler chickens were equally assigned to two plots. Two hundred for...

Although sweet sorghum is in focus as a promising multi-purpose crop in semi-arid tropical regions, information on optimum nitrogen (N) management remains rather limited. To determine and understand the N dynamics in sweet sorghum-soil ecosystem, we evaluated the N recovery of applied fertilizer in the Alfisol field during the 2009 and 2010 rainy seasons. Sweet sorghum was grown under six N rat...

The basal forebrain cholinergic system (BFCS) plays a role in several aspects of attentional function. Activation of this system by different afferent inputs is likely to influence how attentional resources are allocated. While it has been recognized for some time that the hypothalamus is a significant source of projections to the basal forebrain, the phenotype(s) of these inputs and the condit...

Management of invasive alien species is a high priority for biodiversity conservation. Here, we studied the effects glyphosate application, at 0.06 g/m2 concentration, on physiologically integrated basal and apical ramets clonal plant Carpobrotus edulis. Physiological integration allows transport resources other substances between connected in plants. We found significant reduction growth photo...

INTRODUCTION An anomalous systemic arterial supply to the normal basal segment without sequestration is a rare congenital vascular malformation. The discovery age is relatively young, and the most common clinical symptom is hemoptysis due to pulmonary hypertension or heart failure. We herein describe a case of endovascular embolization of in an elderly and asymptomatic patient with an anomalous...

Imiquimod 5% cream (Aldara) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of non-facial superficial basal cell carcinomas (sBCC) in 2004 and has become one of the most commonly used topical treatments for this variant of basal cell carcinoma. Application of the cream once a day, 5 days per week for 6 weeks has demonstrated a clinical and histological cure rate approximating...

BACKGROUND Maintainance of a stable basal insulin level is important for glycemic control in treatment of diabetes mellitus. Recently introduced insulin degludec has the longest duration of action among basal insulin formulations. The purpose of this study was to assess changes in quality of life (QOL) associated with switching the basal insulin regimen to degludec in patients with type 1 and t...
