Leafy vegetables play a crucial role in the human diet providing numerous nutrients and health benefiting compounds. like collard (Brassica oleracea var. acephala) black nightshade (Solanum nigrum l.) are commonly consumed leafy Kenya. However, their high perishability short shelf life (usually 1-2 days at ambient temperature) limits utilization resulting significant postharvest losses. This st...

Figure 1. A, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain showing hypersignal in the periventricular and left parietal lobe areas in the fluid attenuation inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequence. B, MRI of the cerebellum showing hypersignal in the cerebellar-peduncle areas in the FLAIR sequence. A 13-year-old boy was evaluated at our hospital for fever and ataxia that ensued 4 weeks after a near-d...

OBJECTIVES Mutations in Cbl or Cbl-b gene occur in 10% of myeloproliferative disorder (MPD) patients and are associated with poor prognosis. Hematopoietic Cbl/Cbl-b double knockout (DKO) leads to a disease in mice phenotypically similar to human MPDs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-MPD activity of a clinically safe drug, Fasudil, identified in an in vitro kinase inhibitor as an ...

GPs in England saw patient consultations for asthma exacerbations halve during the UK’s first lockdown, a study has found,1 although number of people needing hospital treatment remained same. Researchers used Optimum Patient Care database, which collates medical records from general practices around UK, to among over 100 000 patients who had at least one such event January 2016 August 2020. Du...

Manual transplanting, a pre-dominant practice in almost all the paddy growing areas India, is laborious, burdensome, and has many expenses on raising, settling, transplanting nursery. The process’s limitations motivated replacement of conventional methods. study was divided into two phases. first phase included laboratory testing three levels metering mechanisms, namely cell type (M1) with 10 c...

Four experiments were carried out at the São Paulo State University, Brazil, with the aim of determining the agronomic viability of intercropping tomato and lettuce, under greenhouse conditions. The studied intercropping systems were established by transplanting lettuce at 0, 10, 20 and 30 days after transplanting (DAT) tomato and by transplanting tomato at 0, 10, 20 and 30 DAT lettuce. Intercr...

The intercropping is a production system that aims to provide increased yield with less environmental impact, due to greater efficiency in the use of natural resources and inputs involved in the production process. An experiment was carried out to evaluate the agronomic viability of kale and New Zealand spinach intercropping as a function of the spinach transplanting time. (0, 14, 28, 42, 56, 7...
