The purpose of this study was to ascertain how feeding broiler chickens dried cabbage leaf residues would impact their growth performance and cost-effectiveness in 2022. Using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), 180 one-day-old chicks (Cobb-500) were acquired from a commercial hatchery split into four food regimens, each consisting three replicates fifteen birds. T1 represented 100% Commercial Feed (C.F.) + 0% Dried Cabbage Leaf Residues (DCR), T2 95% C.F. 5% DCR, T3 93% 7% T4 90% 10%...

The human spleen contracts in response to stress-induced catecholamine secretion, resulting a temporary rise haemoglobin concentration ([Hb]). Recent findings highlighted enhanced splenic exercise at high altitude Sherpa, possibly due blunted hypoxia. To explore the potential contraction Sherpas altitude, we examined changes volume during hyperoxic breathing, comparing acclimatized Sherpa with individuals of lowland ancestry. Our study included 14 non-Sherpa (7 female) residing for mean...

This study was conducted to evaluate cellular proliferation of germinal and non-germinal elements seminiferous tubules following continuous Day 1 17 exposure methotrexate (12.5 microgram) in male rats. There significant decrease the diameter (P < 0.10) followed by increase interstitial space 0.01). The size various stages primary, secondary spermatocytes, spermatids altered significantly compared controls. Vacuolization/decondensation "chromatin-mass" spermatocytes changed from rounded oval....

Abstract Background Headache is the most prevalent neurological symptom which can be of a serious condition, as in brain tumor, but mostly it benign condition that includes primary headache such migraine or tension‐type (TTH). Migraine reoccurs frequently and more severe owing to high prevalence TTH, however, impaired quality life due TTH greater than at population level. Medical students are constantly subjected stress was necessary find out burden among medical students. This...

Abstract Objectives The Sherpa ethnic group living at altitude in Nepal may have experienced natural selection response to chronic hypoxia. We previously shown that Kathmandu (1400 m) possess larger spleens and a greater apnea‐induced splenic contraction compared lowland Nepalis. This be significant for exercise capacity as the human spleen responds stress‐induced catecholamine secretion by an immediate contraction, which results transiently elevated hemoglobin concentration ([Hb]). Methods...

This study reveals 1 year's experience of the introduction thyroid function tests (TFT) in B P Koirala Institute Health Sciences (BPKIHS), a Medical University situated eastern Nepal. These were performed on theadvice doctors working this region. The rational TFT advice by medical practitioners was evaluated according to how closely line with algorithms recommended textbooks. Only about 14% followed some strategy. A retrospective analysis showed that could have reduced cost investigation...

Introduction Nepal is a touristic country; globally, many people visit for mountaineering, trekking, sightseeing, and pilgrimages. Gosaikunda, located at an elevation of 4380 m (14,370 ft) in the Rasuwa district, Nepal, popular pilgrimage site. At high altitudes, hypobaric hypoxia primary cause sleep disturbances characterized by difficulty falling asleep, frequent nighttime awakening, returning to sleep, waking up earlier morning than desired, ultimately resulting reduction total duration...

With over 14 million people living above 3,500 m, the study of acclimatization and adaptation to high altitude in human populations is increasing importance, where exposure (HA) imposes a blood oxygenation acid–base challenge. A sustained augmented hypoxic ventilatory response protects through acclimatization, but elicits hypocapnia respiratory alkalosis. subsequent renally mediated compensatory metabolic acidosis corrects pH toward baseline values, with degree interindividual variability....
