BACKGROUND Studies have demonstrated that villous atrophy in celiac disease is patchy and have suggested that duodenal bulb biopsies aid in diagnosis. OBJECTIVE To determine the role of the addition of duodenal bulb biopsies to distal duodenum (D2) biopsies in the diagnosis of celiac disease. DESIGN Prospective, case-control study. SETTING Tertiary referral hospital. PATIENTS Patients u...

A research project was conducted to investigate the impact of different types lighting on growth, yield, and quality Kale (Brassica oleracea var Acephala), under Prayagraj Agro Climatic conditions. The experiment comprised treatments T0 (Outdoor sunlight), T1 (LED bulb white), T2 tube T3 (General bulb), T4 full spectrum), T5 white + LED T6 T7 T8 spectrum). To study's findings, among various tre...

The experiments were carried out at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Rahmatpur, Barisal during the rabi seasons of 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 to study the impact of different sulphur levels on bulb yield, storability and economic return of onion. Sulphur application had significant effect on yield components and bulb yield of onion. The highest bulb yields (19.75 and 19.88 t/ha) were ob...

Due to highly consumption of extensive wild germplasm of Allium hirtifolium Boiss (Mooseer) in food and medicinal industry, exploration and domestication process have been done in Golestan province (Gorgan). Economic productions of domesticated Persian Shallot plants need to be improved through breeding process. The successes of domesticated accessions improvement program depend on the availabl...

Onion (Allium cepa L.) is a spice crop and valuable economic cultivated in variety of environments around the world. Because its export demand, it extremely important terms foreign exchange. Drought stress, waterlogging heat cold salinity stress all have an impact on onion growth, production, yield different ways. A lack water causes low productivity, therefore to increase yield, constant suppl...

The results of the four trials to determine the effects of different defoliation treatments on garlic yield, carried out in the Central Ebro Valley (Spain), are presented. Four defoliation levels of 0 (control), 33, 66 and 100% were applied at seven different developmental stages. The results demonstrate a close relationship between yield reduction and the defoliation treatment in ̄icted. The hi...

The comparative performance of shaded and unshaded Zebu cross steers was studied in a Queensland feedlot from January to May 1992. The provision of shade gave no significant (P > 0.05) advantage in liveweight gain (182 V. 177 kg), feed conversion ratio (9.4 v. 9.8 kg of fresh feed/kg liveweight gain), carcase weight, dressing percentage, P8 rump fat, eye muscle area, saleable meat yield, meat c...
