Objective: To compare the effectiveness between Betadine (Group I) and Normal saline dressing (Group II) for catheter care among patients with indwelling catheter. Hypothesis: There is a significant difference between the pre test level of urinary tract infection among patients with indwelling catheter in Group I,& Group II. There is no statistically significant association between the urinary tract infection among Group I, Group II patients with indwelling catheter with their selected socio demographic and clinical profile. Design: Quasi experimental design.

La présence d’une fraction dangereuse dans les déchets biomédicaux mérite toujours une attention particulière sur les sources potentielles de production. L’objectif de la présente étude était de caractériser les sources de production de déchets biomédicaux (DBM) basée surles fractions dangereuses contenues. L’étude a été conduite dans la ville de Bobo-Dioulasso au Burkina Faso autour d’un échantillon detrente-un (31) établissements sanitaires publics et privés. Le principe du « système à trois bacs » catégorisant les déchets généraux considérés a été utilisé.

Ongoing discovery and development of effective strategies to treat emerging and often drug resistant strains of viral and microbial pathogens presents one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. Despite nearly a century of progress in developments in antimicrobial and antiviral therapies, infectious diseases still account for a substantial proportion of deaths worldwide, including over 100 million globally in the recent pandemic to date.

Aim: The study was carried out to determine the ecology, diversity and biological functions in soil ecosystems. Study Design: The study was done to explore the ecological importance and response to environmental changes. Place and Duration of Study: The samples were collected from Anambra garden soil between July to December 2018. Methodology: The soil invertebrates were extracted using three different methods: the Berlese funnel technique, direct observation, and sedimentation method. Microsoft Excel 2003 package was used to analyse the prevalence of soil invertebrates.

In Antioxidants are compounds possessing the capability to neutralize or stabilize free radicals. In general, plants from the Fabaceae family have antioxidant activity. The research aimed to determine the antioxidant activity of the Fabaceae family plant based on maceration extraction using the DPPH method as seen from IC50. The method used was the narrative review method, where the selected articles were based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and obtained from Google Scholar, PubMed and ScienceDirect databases published between 2011-2021.

Ivermectin (IVM), a lipid-based anthelmintic agent, effectively manages both endoparasites and ectoparasites. There is a clear association between instances of Ivermectin (IVM) overdoses, concerns over its effectiveness, and the emergence of resistance. The co-administration of Ivermectin (IVM) and Ascorbic Acid (AA) in the treatment groups exhibits a significant improvement at elevated dosages. The main objective of this study was to assess the possible interaction or viability of co-administering ascorbic acid and ivermectin at a uniform dosage.

Background: Salpingitis is the inflammation of the fallopian tubes with consequences such as tubal occlusion, infertility, tubal ectopic pregnancies and chronic pelvic pain. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of salpingitis induced ectopic pregnancies in females who have undergone salpingectomy and their specimen sent for anatomical pathology analysis. Methods: Ninety four specimens were collected from 01st February to 31stDecember 2006.

The field trial was initiated at R&D farm, Vasantdada Sugar Institute, Pune during 2020 to assess the effect of different harvesting period on ratoon productivity of different sugarcane varieties. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design, comprising three harvesting periods in main plot (10 months, 12 months and 14 months) and ten sugarcane varieties in sub plots (early maturing MS10001, CoM 9057, Co 09004, CoC 671, VSI434 and midlate maturing VSI 08005, CoVSI18121, VSI12003, CoM 0265, Co 86032).

Une grossesse précoce et non désirée, en particulier à un très jeune âge, reflète un échec à fournir un environnement sûr aidant les jeunes filles à atteindre l'âge adulte. Nul n’ignore que la population mondiale augmente en progression géométrique. Cette situation préoccupe au plus haut point le gouvernement, les institutions (étatiques, confessionnelles, privées) et les différents peuples afin de régulariser les naissances. Chaque entité aborde ses problèmes de différente manière: sociale, politique, économique et démographique.

Aim & background: Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy has completely altered the therapeutic concerns of Endocrinologists and gynecologists. The case discussed below is a prime example of their success. Case description: A 46-year-old woman suffering from perimenopausal conditions presents in the clinic. Her vitals and hormone profile were not at optimum levels. Ultrasound shows proliferative endometrium and ovarian cysts. She had been described with BHRT, including Estradiol, Progesterone, testosterone, and melatonin.
