Abstract: Myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as heart attack, occurs when blood flow decreases or stops to a part of the heart, causing damage to the heart muscle.1About 30% of people have atypical symptoms.2 MI may cause heart failure, an irregular heartbeat, cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest.3,4 A case-control study was conducted in Dept. of Biochemistry in collaboration with Dept. of Medicine, Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Imphal (Manipur) from June 2016to May 2019. Blood samples were collected from 40 diagnosed patients of myocardial........

Abstract: The study of atmospheric pollen content of an area is important in providing information on vegetation and environmental status, safety health and sustainable development.This study is aimed at ascertaining and evaluating the taxa of palynomorphs present in the atmosphere of the studied environment and the results is anticipated to provide useful data that would also proffer adequate measures for safety health and environmental sustainability.The airborne palynomorphs were collected with Modified Tauber Sampler using simple random sampling technique and analyzed palynologically. Results showed a total of 135,371 palynomorphs consisting of 73,629......

Abstract: Cervical cancer ranks as the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide [1]. There were an estimated 528,000 new cases and 266,000 deaths from cervical cancer in 2012, and around 85% of these occurred in less developed regions [1]. Cervical cancer is mainly caused by persistent infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV types 16 and 18 are responsible for approximately 70% of cervical cancer cases in all countries around the world [2]. Other risk factors include onset of intercourse before 20 years old, having multiple sexual partners, and smoking [3,4]. Cervical cancer is responsible for a heavy economic and social burden, and its incidence and mortality have increased from 2003 to 2010 in China [5]. It is estimated that 98,900 new cancer cases and 30,500 cancer deaths

Abstract: An integration between activities of cultivation, fishing, fishery products processing and fishery agribusiness that have been done by the fishermen individually have to developed and applied. The aims of this research was to determine the community structure, abundance, plankton biodiversity, and the condition of the waters environment in the activities of the integrated fishery activities in the waters of the bay Awerange. A floating fish cage system and model integrated with shallow rumpon (a type of FAD) model was employed. The research results found that the composition of type and abundance of phytoplankton was in general dominated by class Bacilariophyceae, and the most numerous species was chaetoceros. With the diversity index was higher than the uniformity index resulting really supported the plankton life, plankton may adapt itself for the balance of its life.........

Abstract: Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an oleaginous plant that has been described as the "queen of oilseeds" because of the quality of its oil. It is a major oilseed plant rich in unsaturated fatty acids, proteins and natural antioxidants. Seventy accessions of sesame (Sesamum indicum) were analysed to determine the fatty acid composition of their seeds by gas chromatography. Oleic (C18: 1-n-9) and linoleic (C28: 2n-6) acids are the two major fatty acids in sesame oil; they represent about 82.3% of the total fatty acids. The oleic acid content is between 38.4 and 47.3% with an average of 42.5% and that of linoleic acid between 35.9 and 44.3% with an average of 40.7%. The palmitic (C16: 0) and stearic (C18: 0) acids come in second place with average contents of 9.5 and 5.9% respectively........
