The accurate diagnosis of the initial stage COVID-19 is necessary for minimizing its spreading rate. physicians most often recommend RT-PCR tests; this invasive, time-consuming, and ineffective in reducing spread rate COVID-19. However, can be minimized by using noninvasive fast machine learning methods trained either on labeled patients' symptoms or medical images. cannot differentiate between different types pneumonias like COVID-19, viral pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia because similar...
Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are frequently used worldwide as insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and termiticides have been associated with a variety of cancers in animal human studies. In the present study, we examined residues fourteen OCPs serum samples diagnosed cancer patients healthy residents Karachi, Pakistan. A random collection fasting blood was carried out from donors informed consent. Serum separated within 2 h then subjected to extraction organic solvents followed by...
One of the essential factors to be addressed in development aquaculture is feeding regime. This study was investigated assess effects rate on growth performance, feed utilization, chemical body composition survival rate, cannibalism and morphological indices Asian Seabass, Lates calcarifer. Intended for trial, one hundred forty sea bass individuals with an average weight 5.47 ± 0.11 g were randomly distributed 4 concrete tanks (914 cm × 183 122 cm) each; length width depth) volume 18,399 L,...
Introduction: Datura stramonium (DS) possesses strong medicinal and therapeutic potential but has been rarely evaluated in this context. Methods: The present study was intended to evaluate the antioxidant, hepatoprotective, nephroprotective of crude methanolic leaf extract ethyl acetate, chloroform, n-hexane, aqueous fractions DS paracetamol-intoxicated rabbits. Paracetamol (2 g/Kg BW) applied induce liver kidney injury rabbits while were dose range 150 mg/Kg 300 body weight for 21 days....
The small hive beetles (SHBs) cause dangerous damages to bee colonies in several countries. Some African countries represent the native land these beetles. SHBs are not well established North Africa and South Europe (the closest countries). Therefore, this study aimed model current future distribution of utilizing temperature datasets. A total 250 occurrence data was incorporated study. Six variables were used Maxent analysis suitability for SHBs. Three climate models estimate 2050 2070,...
Abstract The present study was conducted to evaluate the diversity, distribution (C) and relative abundance (RA) of mosquito fauna (Diptera: Culicidae) Malakand Dir Lower, Pakistan. Collection specimens (n = 1087) made during September 2018 July 2019 at six different habitats including freshwater bodies, rice fields, animal sheds, indoors, drains sewage waters. Specimens were collected through light traps, pyrethrum spray, aspirators nets subsequently killed, preserved then arranged in...
The present study was designed to analyze organochlorine pesticide residues in the blood samples of residents Karachi. Biochemical and hematological parameters were tested thoroughly for changes as a result residues. In which drawn from both genders, compounds like α-endosulfan (1.565 mg/kg) β-endosulfan (1.233 found higher quantities most frequently detected compounds. Average concentrations (mg/kg) were: HCH (0.819); Cyclodienes (2.839); Diphenylaliphatics (0.240). An evident finding...
The antidiabetic and hepato-renal protective effects of Citrullus colocynthis Momordica charantia ethanol extracts were investigated in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic male albino rats. Diabetic rats treated with C. colocynthis, M. or + mixed extract at a dose 250 mg /kg body weight per oral day for 21 days. mean all the rat groups on 1 treatment (day 10 diabetes) was significantly lower than normal control group (P<0.05). blood glucose level (P<0.05) higher (> 200 mg/dl) (95.5 ± 2.7)....
The experimental trial was conducted in saline water to determine the replacement level of fish meal with locally available plant protein source, soybean on growth performance, survival and body composition Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) juveniles reared floating net cages.Four types diet (35% crude protein) were formulated where fishmeal replaced by meal, partially up 0%, 25%, 50% 75% designated as treatment T1, T2, T3 T4 respectively.The T1 control a main ingredient sole source...
Pectinase as a biocatalyst play significant role in food and textile industries. In this study, the pectinase was immobilized by encapsulation within polyacrylamide gel to enhance its catalytic properties ensure reusability for continuous industrial processes. 9.5% acrylamide 0.5% N, N'- methylenebisacrylamide concentration gave high percentage of immobilization yield gel. The determined with comparison soluble pectinase. didn't effect both free showed maximum pectinolytic activity at 45 °C...
In the present study, effects of recycled oxidized coconut oil were assessed on hematobiochemical, antioxidant and cardiac markers in albino mice. all, 24 mice divided into three groups: group I, II, III; animals each received a normal diet as well fresh deep-oxidized oil. The outcomes demonstrated that III fed with thermally revealed significant alteration form decreased levels alkaline phosphatase, alanine transaminase, aspartate total white blood corpuscle, platelet count, hemoglobin...
Cedrus deodara (deodar) is practically used, as insect repellent, in the northern areas of Pakistan but no data available therefore this study was conducted to evaluate effectiveness deodar oil an alternate conventional insecticides against larval pest stage mealworm beetle (Tenebrio molitor), by feeding method.

Abstract This research aimed to investigate various mosquitocidal activities of Chenopodium botrys whole- plant n-hexane extract against Culex quinquefasciatus. The showed remarkable larvicidal, pupicidal, adulticidal, oviposition deterrent and adult emergence inhibitory Cx. During the larvicidal pupicidal activities, 24-hour lethal concentration (LC50) 2nd instar larvae, 4th larvae pupae were 324.6, 495.6 950.8 ppm, respectively. CDC (Centers for Disease Control Prevention) bottle bioassay...
Organophosphates (OPs) and synthetic pyrethroids (SPs) are the most popular broad spectrum pesticides, used in agriculture as they have a strong pesticidal activity while also being biodegradable environment.
