The purpose of study was to find out the effects of low Intensity plyometric training combined with aerobic training on explosive power of school kabaddi players. To achieve the purpose of the study, thirty school kabaddi players in, Alagappa Fitness foundation, Karaikudi, Tamilnadu were selected as subject at random and their age group range between 13 to 15 years. The study was formulated as pre and posttest random group design, in which thirty subject were divided into three equal groups. The experimental group-1(n=10, LI-PT) underwent low intensity plyometric Training. The experimental group-2 (n=10, LI- PT-AT) underwent low intensity plyometric training combined with aerobic training and group 3 served as control group (n=10, CG) did not undergo any specific training. In this study, two training programme were adopted as independent variable, i.e., low intensity plyometric training, and low intensity plyometric training combined with aerobic training. The explosive power was selected as dependent variables, it was tested by vertical jump test. The selected two treatment groups were performed three days in a week for the period of eight weeks, as per the stipulated training program. The selected performance parameters were collected before and after the training period. The collected pre and post data was critically analyzed with apt statistical tool of analysis of co-variance, for observed the significant adjusted post-test mean difference of three groups with respect to each parameter. The scheffe’s post hoc test was used to find out pair-wise comparisons between groups with respect to each parameter. To test the hypothesis 0.05 level of significant was fixed in this study. The results proved that the selected both training produce significant improvement on explosive power rather than the control group. However, plyometric training combined with aerobic training have produced greater improvement on explosive power than the plyometric training alone.

Background: Several research endeavours have endeavoured to evaluate the impact of smoking on the physiology of male and female reproduction. Encompassing sperm parameters, male reproductive architecture, and the male hormonal axes. However, the outcomes have been conflicting and ambiguous. Objectives: To investigate the published literature on the effect of smoking on female and male reproductive health. Methods: PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and Science Direct were systematically searched for relevant literature. Rayyan QRCI was employed throughout this comprehensive process. Results & interpretation: We included thirteen studies with a total of 10092 participants; 4419 (43.8%) were males, and 5673 (56.2%) were females. Smoking is a risk factor in and of itself for male reproductive health. This is more likely to explain smokers' elevated SHBG levels and differential activity of the seminal antioxidant system. These negative effects included abnormal semen motility, volume, count, and morphology. Additionally, smoking had no discernible impact on women's fertility or ovarian reserve, according to this study. More research is needed to determine whether stopping smoking can treat male infertility caused by these substances and to better understand how cigarette smoke affects both female and male fertility.

Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease of autoimmune origin with early manifestations, which occur predominantly in childhood. Its incidence has been increasing in most European countries. Diabetes is a well-known predisposing factor for oral diseases; therefore, prevention at an early age is essential. Diabetes negatively affectsdeveloping enamel by altering the mineralization process, which can have a detrimental effect on oral health. Diabetes mellitus (DM) may affect the healing and survival of root-filled teeth with periapical lesions. Methods: An electronic search of the following databases was carried out to identify the literature evaluating the effect of type 1 diabetes on children's primary teeth: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and Embase. In total, 1244 studies were identified. After removing duplicates (n = 52), then screening based on title and abstract, and then performing full-text screening, a total of nine articles were included in this systematic review.

A drastic increase in mucormycosis and other opportunistic infections was observed during the Covid-19 pandemic owing to multisystem involvement and related Immunosuppression. This retrospective study was carried out among SARS-COV-2 infected patients having invasive fungal infections [IFI] admitted to a tertiary care hospital in the southern part of India, for one year from August 2020. Among a total of 115 suspected cases, 54 patients were diagnosed to have IFI, during or immediately after Covid 19 disease. The most common fungal pathogens isolated were Mucorales (57.4%) followed by Aspergillus spp. (20.3%), Candida spp. (9.2%) and mixed infections (13.1%). Important predisposing factors identified were diabetes mellitus (70.7%), prolonged use of corticosteroids (85%), and administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics (90%). The predominant species identified among the diagnosed mucormycosis cases were Rhizopus spp. (54%) and Mucor spp. (25%); the site of involvement was paranasal sinus (70.1%), and rhino-orbital in 48.7% of the cases. Increased incidence of invasive Aspergillus infection in COVID-19 was seen mainly among ICU patients on ventilators, with Covid-19 induced lung damage. Common presentations were Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis, Rhino sinusitis, and Asthma. Of the total IFI, 9.2 % were caused by Candida spp. Of which 75% were due to Non- albicans candida species. Candidemia was the major presentation observed (90%). Of the patients with IFI, 90 % of them recovered, and the rest of them (7.4%) succumbed to infection. Of the patients with rhino-orbital mucormycosis who survived, 10 (39 %) had facial disfigurement and 11 (45 %) had a loss of vision.

Functional dyspepsia (FD), a commonly prevalent multifactorial disorder of gut-brain interaction (DGBI), is encountered and managed in family practice and gastroenterology clinics. The diagnosis is solely clinical based on Rome-IV criteria, excluding the organic, systemic, or metabolic causes. Management is often challenging ranging from lifestyle modifications, H-pylori eradication, H2-receptor antagonists, proton pump inhibitors, and prokinetics (1st-line) to antidepressants, and antipsychotics (2nd line) of therapy, once the patient shows no response to 1st line. In severe cases, refractory to 1st & the 2nd line of treatment needs a team approach and gut-brain behavioral therapy. Herein, we present a young female patient diagnosed with FD, managed well with 2nd-line treatment (Sulpiride), an atypical antipsychotic medication, as the patient's symptoms showed no improvement with first-line treatment.

Introduction: The relationship between Apgar scores and perinatal outcomes is a critical area of study in neonatal health, particularly in developing countries like Bangladesh. This study aims to explore the impact of lower Apgar scores on perinatal outcomes, providing valuable insights into neonatal health and the effectiveness of prenatal assessments. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 150 pregnant women from a medical facility in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Participants were assessed using the Biophysical Profile (BPP) score and Apgar scores at 1 and 5 minutes post-delivery. The study focused on the association between these scores and perinatal outcomes, including birth asphyxia, neonatal death, and INCU admissions. Statistical analysis was conducted to determine the significance of these associations. Result: The majority of the study population were young, with 62% aged between 18-25 years. A significant correlation was found between lower Apgar scores at 1 minute and adverse perinatal outcomes. Specifically, 100% of neonates with a BPP score of 6 had an Apgar score of less than 7 at 1 minute, compared to only 2.65% in the BPP score 10 group. Additionally, 52% of neonates with an Apgar score of less than 7 at 1 minute experienced birth asphyxia, and 48% required INCU admission. Conclusion: The study highlights the critical role of Apgar and BPP scores in predicting adverse perinatal outcomes. Lower Apgar scores at 1 minute post-delivery are significantly associated with negative neonatal health outcomes, emphasizing the need for vigilant prenatal monitoring and preparedness for immediate neonatal care, particularly in resource-limited settings like Bangladesh. This research contributes to the understanding of neonatal health in such contexts and underscores the importance of predictive assessments in improving perinatal health outcomes.

Wheat is one of the most important crop. Which is cultivated in whole world. It belongs to Poaceae family. An experiment was performed to check the effect of foliar application of benzoic acid on growth and production of wheat. This experiment was conducted according to complete randomized design. Three treatments of benzoic acid (100 ml/L, 200 ml/L and 400 ml/L) were used. Data was recorded for plant height, number of tillers/m2, flag leaf area, spike length, number of grains/spike and plant dry weight/m2. Then data was analyzed by ANOVA and mean values of each treatment were compared by using Fisher’s LSD. The results showed that foliar use of benzoic acid at 200 ml/L provided the best results for all traits (number of tillers/m2, flag leaf area, spike length, number of grains/spike and plant dry weight/m2) except plant height. Foliar application of benzoic acid at 200 ml/L greatly enhance the growth and yield in wheat. This was because of increase in auxin production or increase in cell division. While height was the only trait which was gradually decreased with the increase of benzoic acid level.

Since time immemorial medicinal tree plants have been harvested for use in traditional remedies for treating not only common ailments but also serious diseases like diabetes and cancer besides heart diseases. In advanced countries, however, plant-based medicines are purified and modified to use with increased awareness of their medicinal value. Of 65 tree species of medicinal importance reported in Oman, Moringa peregrina (Forssk) Fiori. is often found in either hilly or mountainous areas of Oman on rocky slopes amongst stones and wadi beds and is known for its medicinal use among ethnomedicine practitioners. The present investigations explore indigenous Moringa peregrina of Oman in terms of physical characteristics of seed and kernel, proximate, mineral, and fatty acid composition for plausible nutritional and nutraceutical applications. The soil and plant features, physical characteristics of mature seeds, and proximate and fatty acid composition of mature and immature seeds were recorded following standard procedures. The results indicated that indigenous wild Moringa peregrina trees were 6.8m tall occupying an area of 59.16 m2 with satisfactory chlorophyll content (57.5 at LEAF value). Mature seeds were trigonous and grayish brown and able to give 68.91% of the milky white kernel. Seeds were highest in carbohydrates (36.05%), followed by total fat (33.52%) and proteins (22.21%), and contain more than 10% each of Oleic acid, Palmitic acid, Behenic acid, Eicisenoic acid, Palmitoleic acid, and Stearic acid. Moringa peregrina has been suggested for use for human consumption with caution until after the exclusion of the detrimental effects of phytotoxins possibly present in its products.

Farm animal growth boosters, which are non-essential chemicals, have long been used by veterinarians and animal producers as feed additives or implants. These substances, which have anabolic action and enhance animal performance in many meat-exporting nations, include beta-agonists, anabolic hormones, and bovine somatotropin. Additionally, as the animal's nutritional status influences the availability of nutrients needed for the advancement of development and growth, the development of multiple and individual organs depends on it. Since the sources and accessibility of nutrients vary depending on the animal's developmental stage, changes in the animal's nutritional status are normal. Furthermore, obstacles from the external environment also drastically alter extrinsic nutritional conditions. Despite tremendous advances in animal science and related technologies, there are still a lot of unanswered questions about how hormones impact the welfare and productivity of food animals as well as the public's perception of their usage. Bridging these gaps through translational and transformational research progress both basic and applied animal science, with the goal of feeding an expanding population.

Globally, several efforts have been made to promote the rights and inclusion of vulnerable members of society, however, persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Nigeria are constantly faced with several barriers to their full participation in social, economic, political, and environmental circles. These challenges which have been discovered to be a result of societal prejudice/misconceptions, limited resources, inability to access necessary facilities/resources, educational discrimination/limitations, employment discrimination, and policy gaps can present significant obstacles to their abilities to acquire and execute skills that will make them self-sustainable and contribute meaningfully to society, ultimately hindering collective national sustainable development. This study adopts a comprehensive study of relevant literature, observation, and interview at centres for PWDs to address the societal attitudes, discriminatory practices, and specific obstacles faced by PWDs in Nigeria. A comparison of inclusive practices in other developing and developed nations were made to show the progress Nigeria has made and the gaps that need to be filled. The study further explores the negative impacts of exclusion on national sustainability, and the implications of disability inclusion on the promotion of economic, social, political, and environmental sustainability in Nigeria. Conclusively, this research proposes some recommendations to address the barriers limiting disability inclusion in Nigeria, through the employment of specific strategies such as creating awareness of disability issues, providing accommodations, promoting inclusive policies, and engaging in community-based rehabilitation programs which when implemented will improve the quality of life of PWDs, thus promoting their contribution to national sustainable development.
