Abstract Approximately 20%–30% of plant and animal species are at risk extinction by the end 21st century owing to climate change. Range shifts range contractions in will dramatically affect distribution animals relying on them for food shelter. The negative impacts change forested landscapes northern highlands Pakistan (NHP) could composition distribution. Asiatic black bear ( Ursus thibetanus ), a forest‐dwelling species, primarily depends plants foraging, is assumed be affected NHP. Scat...

117 Background: Intermittent (i) and continuous (c) androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) not only play a critical role in managing prostate cancer (PC) but also impact patient’s quality of life (QoL). This meta-analysis aims to explore the effect iADT vs. cADT on QoL PC patients. Methods: PubMed, Cochrane, Clinicaltrials.gov were searched as per PRISMA guidelines 13 studies reporting patients included. Pooled analysis was performed using ‘meta’ package by Schwarzer et al. R programming...

Photoperiod and shelter have direct or indirect effects on phenotypic traits expression in different fish species.The present study was, therefore, intended to explore whether these light could influence some of African catfish larvae under laboratory condition.Newly hatched were stocked plastic aquaria (10L) at a rate 5 individuals/L reared for one month four treatments such as 24h (24L), 24 h dark (24D), 12h with PVC (12DL_PVC), without (12DL) conditions.A total 108 sampled analysis.The...

To identify the early mortality predictors in minority patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Demographics, presenting characteristics, admission laboratory data, ICU admission, and data were collected from 200 consecutively COVID-19. The mean (SD) age was 58.9 (15.1) years, 121(60.5%) men, 143 (71.5%) African Americans, 33 (16.5%) Latino. Common symptoms cough 130 (65.0%), shortness of breath 129 (64.5%), fever 121 (60.5%). One or more comorbid illness occurred 171...

Over the years, extensive research has highlighted functional roles of small nucleolar RNAs in various biological processes associated with development complex human diseases. Therefore, understanding existing relationships between different snoRNAs and diseases is crucial for advancing disease diagnosis treatment. However, classical experiments identifying snoRNA-disease associations are expensive time-consuming. there an urgent need cost-effective computational techniques that can enhance...

757 Background: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), fragments detected in blood sourced from primary malignancy, is an emerging non-invasive tool oncology for screening, diagnosis, and surveillance. Here, we analyze its utility patients with metastatic appendiceal neoplasms. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, PubMed, Cochrane, Clinicaltrials.gov were searched ‘Appendiceal Neoplasms’ AND ‘Circulating Tumor DNA’. Four original studies reporting the role of ctDNA cancer included after screening...

A structural protein called keratin is often employed in the medical industry to create medication carriers. Process improvement, antioxidant, antibacterial, and adjuvant drug studies of synthetic bioactive microparticles made from lipids derived porcupine (Hystrix indica) quills are main objectives this study. After coating with which were obtained same quills, produced. The response surface technique was applied optimize conditions for extraction sizing microparticles. An infrared...

Purpose: To develop strategies for the control of hospital-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (HA-MRSA) which is a serious threat to burns patients with aid molecular studies.Methods: strains were collected from Burns Unit Khyber Teaching Hospital (KTH) Peshawar, Pakistan July - December 2011. Antibiotic resistance was determined according recommendations Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI). Molecular epidemiology S. by pulse field gel electrophoresis...

Parazodarion , a New Genus of the Spider Family Zodariidae (Araneae) from Asia Ovchinnikov, gen. n. is described. It monotypic genus with type species Zodarion raddei Simon, 1889 widespread in Turkmenistan, Southern Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan previously assigned to Walckenaer, 1826 recently shown be non-monophyletic.

The emergence of antibiotic resistance in microorganisms is a serious challenge globally. Natural hydrophobic diterpene carboxylic acids present rosin have unsatisfactory inhibitory properties against pathogens due to their poor water solubility. Therefore, the objective research work was modify natural into maleic anhydride adduct with improved bioinhibitory for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Prescreened MRSA isolates were found 78.05% and 29.27% resistant oxacillin...

Gray langurs (Semnopithecus spp.) are leaf eating monkeys fragmentally distributed in northern hills of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK).It was believed that different fragmented populations these might have experienced a genetic isolation or inbreeding.We assessed the level diversity langur using Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers.We collected 86 samples (feces 64, hair 13, blood 5, tissues 4) from 5 geographic Pakistan (AJK) succeeded extraction 23...

Syphilitic osteitis is one of the rare and often under-reported complications early syphilis. Recognizing this entity important as it may mimic other conditions like multiple myeloma, lymphoma, or metastatic malignancies. Misdiagnosis delayed management can lead to irreversible destructive lesions. We herein report a case calvaria syphilitic that was initially investigated for possible lymphoma later diagnosed secondary

Plant derived bio-based materials are environmental-friendly and provide a cheap an attractive source for synthesis of controlled release urea fertilizers which have positive impact on plants' health. In this work, application rosin-maleic anhydride adduct encapsulated micro fertilizer (RA-mCRUF) was investigated the optimization its properties evaluation growth promoting effect maize (Zea mays) plant under three different soil texture classes. Through response surface methodology,...

Abstract The Indian crested porcupine (Hystrix indica) is a vertebrate pest of agricultural lands and forest. study was aimed to report the damage local crops by in Muzaffarabad District. A survey conducted identify porcupine-affected areas assess crop farmers district Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK) from May 2017 October 2017. Around 19 villages were surveyed, sum 191 semi-structured questionnaires distributed among farmers. Crop found highest village Dhanni where destroyed 175 Kg/Kanal crops....
