Abstract: Introduction: Psoriasis is one of the chronic skin disease in which many biochemical alterations occur during the course of disease. The aim of our study is to correlate the biochemical and Clinical parameters Materials and Methods: This is to study biochemical changes during the disease. Sixty patients who were proved positive clinicopathologically were considered during enrollment and completion of treatment. Result: Hyperuricemia, hypoalbuminemia, Hypocalcemia, increased s.globulin,AST,ALT,s.bilirubin levels were observed in patients. Conclusion: With improvement in patient's disease, the abnormal biochemical values started shifting towards normal range.

Abstract: The diverse agro- climatic zones make India as the second largest producer of fresh fruits and vegetables granting processed fruit and vegetable products such as juices, preserves etc. to number alongthat leads to generation of large amounts of wastes, both solid and liquid. This waste is incautiously being thrown without any treatment promoting environmental deterioration. However, these wastes hold immense potential nutritionally; functionally as well as physico-chemically which can be utilized for producing cheaper value added ingredients that bear economic benefits. Carica papaya Linn is a wholesome fruit, widely known as "the Fruit of Angels", serves as an ideal, low cost food. It ranks second as a source of beta carotene and is an excellent source of natural sugars, vitamin C, and potassium, with fair amounts of calcium and phosphorus. Low in calories, this exotic fruit holds immense medicinal value since.........

Abstract:For centuries, papaya, also known as the pawpaw (Carica papaya), has been a crucial ingredient in natural healing. It has also been part of the staple diet of many indigenous peoples. Papayas are known for their long list of health benefits. They have a variety of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. They are especially known for how they help with digestion. What is not commonly known is that unripe (or green) papayas also have health benefits. Unripe papayas are green in colour and are not pulpy. Moreover, the inside of the green papayas is sometimes white in colour. Unripe papayas are not that popular when compared to the ripe ones. This is because the ripe one's taste better and can be easily consumed raw. However, unripe papayas are difficult to eat raw. It needs to be cooked...........

Abstract: The five bacterial strains viz. Brevibacillus centrosporus DSM8445T, Brevibacillus invocatus NCIMB13772T, Brevibacillus choshinensis DSM8552T, Brevibacillus panacihumi DCY35 and Brevibacillus levickii LKG22481were screened for production of AgNPs using their extracellular (cell free supernatant) of bacterial cultures. The primary sight for AgNPs formation was change of colour of reaction mixture from pale yellow to dark brown. In the present investigation it is evident that isolated bacterial strain Brevibacillus invocatus NCIMB13772T was the most efficient bacterial strain in production of AgNPs (0.996) followed by isolated bacterial strain Brevibacillus centrosporus......

Abstract:And Objectives:Cisplatin is a nephrotoxic chemotherapeutic agent. So, preventive measures worth to be evaluated. Human amniotic fluid stem cells (hAFSCs) in prevention or amelioration of cisplatininduced acute kidney injury (AKI) in Sprague-Dawley rates have been tested. Methods:80 Sprague-Dawley rats (250∼300g) were used and divided into 4 major groups, 20 rats on eachgroup. Group I:Cisplatin-injected group (7mg/kg I.P). Group II: Cisplatin-injected and hAFSCs-treated group (2×10 6 hAFSCs ).Group III: Cisplatin-injected and DMEM culture media treated group). Group IV: Saline-injected group. One day after cisplatin.......

Abstract: Chronic renal failure is a leading cause of death in developed countries. Over years there has been increase in the number of patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD). Hemodialysis (HD) is one of themain treatmentfor end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Here we have studied the impact of hemodialysis on electrolyte balance, urea and creatinine levels in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. The current study aims to assess the impact of dialysis on serum electrolytes in ESRD. A cross sectional study which was done in maintenance hemodialysis patients. 47 patients were selected according to their inclusion and exclusion criteria and their blood samples were analysed for various parameters. Statistical Analysis was done by SPSS software.There is increase in mean sodium from 134.17±3.19 to 138.38 ±3.70(p<0.0001) and chloride from 102.29±4.14 to 107.36±3.93 (p<0.0001..........

Abstract:The bacteria present in the rhizosphere region of the plant are called rhizobacteria. Rhizobacteria produces antibiotic substances protecting toxic effects of plant parasites. The rhizosphere soil of 14 different medicinal plants was collected from the Kolli Hills. The soil samples were analyzed and the physicochemical characteristics such as pH, EC, nitrogen, organic carbon, phosphorous, potassium, sulphur, zinc and boron was estimated. The microbial colonies were counted according to the colony forming unit.

Abstract: In the present investigation an effort was made to survey and enumeration the floristic wealth of Akkalkot Tahsil area, periodically. During the work 139 plant species were identified with the help of local informant and literature available i.e. -flora for their Botanical names, Authority, Local names and family habit wise. Akkalkot Tahsil area include a group of villages i.e. Hannur, Maindargi,Dudhani, Chungi, Borgaon, Waghdari along with small wadi's as Ruddewadi, Kallappawadi and Kiniwadi, of of Akkalkot Tahsil district- Solapur in Maharashtra. The Panchkroshi is a 'Manmade Green Pocket' in floristic approach It reminds that wealth, health, and culture......
