Basal stem rot disease in pepper caused by P. capsici is the ultimate disease which can lead to the death of the plant. Trichoderma sp. produces secondary metabolite which is effective for controlling this disease. To know the effectiveness of Trichoderma sp. secondary metabolite, the experiment with different concentrations placed in the polybag to control basal stem rot disease in pepper was conducted from March to June 2020 at UPTD Pengembangan Perlindungan Tanaman Perkebunan (P2TP), Plantation Office, East Borneo. A completely randomized design with five treatments and ten replications was applied in this experiment. The data were analyzed using analysis of variance. If there is a significant difference, the test will continue at the least significant difference of 5%. The study entitled “The Growth of Pepper Seeds Attacked by Basal Stem Rot Disease (Phytophthora capsici) on Application of Trichoderma sp. Secondary Metabolite” concluded three main points. First, based on the intensity of disease attack, the average of both shoot internode number and shoot internode length of Trichoderma sp. secondary metabolite was mostly effective to control the disease attack or at MS20 concentration namely 88.06% of the intensity of disease attack. Second, based on the average number of leaves, MS5 concentration was able to control the disease progression by calculating the number of grown leaves, around 75.40 leaves. Last, based on the growth of the plant, the effective use of secondary metabolite was at MS10 concentration with the height of the plant 71.50 cm.

Mesenteric cystic lymphangiomas are rare benign lesion of lymphatic system occurring in children. They are common in males with a median age of presentation of 2 years. It can either be asymptomatic or present as acute abdomen when the mass produces intestinal volvulus. It is often confused with mesenteric cyst both clinically and radiologically. The true nature of lesion is revealed on histopathological examination. We report such a case in a 3 year old boy who presented with complaints of abdominal pain and distension, which on evaluation thought to be mesenteric cyst which was excised and turned out to be a cystic lymphangioma in histopathological examination. Establishing the lymphatic nature is also important owing to the development of targeted therapy for aggressive and recurrent lesions. Immunohistochemistry, hence, hold an important role in this characterization and is expected to rise in significance in the future.

The synthesis and characterization of two hetarylazo disperse colorants is described. These compounds were used for the preparation of ink-jet inks with and without active agents for digital printing. Viscosity, surface tension, conductivity and pH values of all inks, with and without active agent, were monitored over a period of 90 days and were related to the ink stability. The same properties were measured for an ink preparation with a commercial dye for comparison. The inks which containing the new synthesized compounds with and without active agent were applied by exhaustion (dyed) on polyester and polyamide samples. Fastness (light, wash and rub) and also color properties of the samples were measured. Also, quantitative determination of the new antimicrobial agent was made from the dyed samples with exhaustion. The optimum application level required to give long lasting antimicrobial protection was determined by carrying out a series of antimicrobial testing.

The liver as a major organ of metabolism is one of the first predisposed organs to food chemicals. Icacinia manni tuber, the examined agent in this study has claims of direct and indirect consumption by man as it is observed to be a source of energy which contains high amount of carbohydrates among other nutritional and anti-nutritional constituents. Four (4) weeks old Male Wistar rats were used for this study. They were fed with rat chow from vital feeds and allowed free access to drinking water throughout the experimental period. Icacinia manni tuber was washed with water to remove sand, cut into pieces and sun dried. The dried specimen was extracted with 80% Ethanol. After two (2) weeks of drying, the tuber was reduced into powder. The powder was divided into two parts. One part was macerated in 80% ethanol for 72hrs to give the crude ethanolic extract. The other part was successively macerated for 72hrs in n-hexane and ethanol to give the corresponding gradient fraction of these solvents. The liquid filtrate was concentrated and evaporated to dryness using rotary evaporator. The median lethal dose (LD50) of the extract was estimated using albino Wistar mice by intra peritoneal (ip) route. The rats which weighed between 60 and 100gm were randomly assigned four (4) groups. Group A served as the control and was given distilled water by mouth and allowed liberal food and water throughout the experimental period which was 28 days. Group B, C and D had low, intermediate and high dose of extract. Group B received 1/10 of LD50 by feeding tube i.e. 1/10 x 894.43 mg/kg = 89.44mg/kg. Group C received 2/10 of LD50 by mouth through a feeding tube i.e. 178.88mg/kg. Group D received 3/10 of LD50 by mouth through a feeding tube i.e. 268.32mg/kg. Stock concentration was 50mg/ml. On the twenty-eighth (28th) day, the animals were anaesthetized with chloroform. Blood samples were obtained by cardiac puncture. Serum obtained for biochemical analysis. The livers were harvested for histological analysis. The results showed significant higher levels (p˂0.01) of Mean Total Cholesterol and High Density Lipoprotein in treated rats compared to the untreated rats. Significant lower levels (p˂0.01) of Mean Triglycerides and Low Density Lipoprotein were observed in untreated rats compared to treated rats. The Mean Total Protein, Mean Albumin and Mean Globulin levels for treated rats were significantly lower (p˂0.01) than that of the untreated rats. The histologic photomicrographs of liver of treated rats showed moderate area cellular abnormalities with area of vascular congestion and degeneration, cellular degeneration, vacuolization and pyknotic nuclei as compared to untreated rats. This study shows the hepatotoxicity of Icacinia manni tuber and its associated risk of metabolic syndrome.

Purposely slow velocity resistance exercise (i.e., 10 sec concentric and 10 sec eccentric), sometimes called slow tempo, is a popular training method, but limits the loads that can be lifted (e.g., <50% 1RM). This study compared the biomechanical properties of slow tempo (SLOW) and maximal velocity (MAX) resistance exercise. Healthy resistance-trained men (n=5) performed two testing sessions (barbell squat and bench press) in random-order; a SLOW session (1 set x 10 repetitions at 28% 1RM, 10 sec concentric and 10 sec eccentric), and a MAX session (3 x 10 at 70% 1RM, volitionally controlled eccentric and maximal concentric velocities). A force plate and linear position transducer were used to collect kinetic and kinematic data for every repetition of both protocols. Statistical significance was set at α=0.05. For both exercises, both concentric and eccentric mean force (N) and power (W) for each repetition were greater for MAX. When the entire training session (barbell squat and bench press) was examined, SLOW exhibited greater time under tension, while MAX produced greater work (J) and impulse (N•s). Contrary to suggestions in both the lay and scientific literature, SLOW resistance exercise produced less force, power, and work than MAX resistance exercise.

Background: Organophosphorus (OP) poisoning, in addition to its cholinergic manifestations shows metabolic derangements leading to hyperglycaemia. The present study aims to assess the glycaemic status of OP poisoned patients and its association with severity and clinical outcome. Random blood sugar (RBS) level is an important factor influencing the severity of organophosphorus (OP) compound poisoning. RBS and its association with POP Scale can be used as a prognostic and mortality indicator in OP compound poisoning. Objectives of the study: 1. To estimate Serum Pseudocholinesterase and Random blood glucose levels in Acute OP Poisoning. 2. To correlate with the clinical criteria described by the POP scale at initial presentation and the severity of poisoning. Methods: This is a prospective study done on 90 patients above 18 years of age admitted to hospitals attached to Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute with history of Acute OP poisoning from November 2018 to May 2020. They were categorized into 3 grades-mild, moderate and severe based on the Peradeniya Organophosphorus Poisoning Scale. The routine biochemical parameters along with serum cholinesterase and Random blood glucose level were estimated in the study group. Results: Hyperglycaemia (RBS>200) was observed in 18(20%) of patients. Mean age group of patients was 32.68. Out of 90 subjects, 18 subjects had RBS levels above 200 and 72 subjects had RBS levels less than 200. Out of 18 subjects, 7 had mild POP scale, 8 had moderate POP scale and 3 had severe POP scale. Out of 18(100%) subjects having RBS scores of above 200, there were 7(38.9%) mortality noted (2-mild, 2-modertae and 3 severe POP scale). Out of 72(100%) subjects having RBS scores less than 200, there were 2(2.8%) mortality noted (1-modertae and 1 severe POP scale).Chi- square test showed significant association between POP scale and mortality in group having above 200 RBS levels(p<0.05). Conclusions: Glycemic status and POP Scale at the time of presentation in OP poisoning may play a role in predicting the need for ICU, Ventilator and Mortality in peripheral health centres in developing countries.

Surgery of the larynx not only allows reshaping the tumor but also to preserve maximally the laryngeal function. This is why the imaging gives an exact definition of the extent as well as the volume of the tumor. This is a retrospective study involving 58 patients performed at the ENT-head and neck surgery specialties hospital of CHU Rabat from January 2019 to December 2019.All patients with epidermoid carcinoma received cervical CT with axial and coronal slices and endoscopic (direct laryngoscopy) assessment. The realization of a computed tomography is used nowadays in common practice to review the loco regional extension of laryngeal cancers. It is an integral part of the staging with a crucial role in the mostly conservative therapeutic decision and monitoring [1, 2]. The exam should be performed remotely from biopsies, especially for small tumors. Indeed, the post-biopsy inflammatory reaction could falsely increase the tumor description. The decision of a suitable therapeutic attitude for each case of laryngeal cancer depends indeed on the sensitivity of endoscopic and scannographic examinations.

Act No. 20 2016 About the Brand and Geographical Indications, the Brand is a sign that can be displayed graphically in the form of images, logos, names, words, letters, numbers, the arrangement of colors, in the form of 2 (two) - dimensional and/or 3 (three) dimensions, sound, hologram, or a combination of the 2 (two) or more elements of the set barag and/or services produced by a person or legal entity in the trading of goods/services. Rights to the Brand are obtained after the Brand are listed. The first Registration of the brand is a legitimate proof of the registered trademark. A trademark registration is also useful as a basis for rejection of the same brand its entirety or be in anyway that is requested by others for similar goods or services. In fact, in the implementation of the can't be done easily because not all the brand owners do the registration of the brand. This leads to brand not get legal protection, so it is very easy occurrence of violations of the use of the brand without the right of that harm the owner of the brand. Factor the brand owner did not register the brand, namely the owner of the brand is still low awareness of the law against the norms. Therefore, the other party can not use the registered trademark without the consent of the owner. If the brand that has been registered is not used in accordance with the provisions set out in the legislation, will result in registration of the mark concerned was abolished. Both Brands as assets of the company will be able to generate huge profits when utilized with attention to aspects of business and management good management. With the growing importance of the role of this brand then the brand need to put the protection of the law; as the object which it related rights of the individual or legal entity.
