Introduction: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect. Emotional and behavioral problems are among the most prevalent chronic health conditions of childhood and often have serious negative consequences for a child’s academic achievement and social development. Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies. Aim of The Work: To determine the effect of iron deficiency and congenital heart disease on the behavior of children. Subjects and Methods: This is a case control study of 90 children, 60 children had congenital heart disease they divided into two groups: 30 cyanotic and 30 acyanotic. All studied children subjected to the following: Assessment of behavioral disturbance using an adapted Arabic translation of. Conners’ PARENT rating scale and specific laboratory investigations including: serum ferritin, serum iron, total iron binding capacity, transferrin saturation capacity. Results: Behavior disorders were more frequent among congenital heart disease patients (33, 3%) compared to controls (13.3%) regardless the type of congenital heart disease either. Iron deficiency was more prevalent among children with congenital heart disease 25 (41.6 %) in comparison to control group 4 (13.3%) specially in cyanotic heart disease as we found 43.3% had iron deficiency in comparision to cyanotic heart disease (33%) . .There was slight increase in behavioral disorder in children with iron deficiency specially in those with cyanotic heart disease. Conclusion: Children with CHD are at higher risk of behavioural disorder specially those how suffering from iron deficiency.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the kinematic differences of different level jumping athletes in the process of squatting on different ground, and to reveal the photomechanical mechanism of the effect of squatting on the different ground on training effect. Methods: The subjects were 11 first-class and above jumping athletes (excellent group) and 11 second-class athletes (ordinary group). The kinematic data were photographed by SONYDCRHC52E high-speed camera with a sampling frequency of 50 frames per second, and the data were analyzed by SIMI-Motion three-dimensional motion analysis system. Subjects squatted and jumped on four kinds of ground (force platform, balance pad, gymnastics pad, and sand) with their hands on their hips. Results: In the intra-group analysis, it was found that the athletes of different levels squatted and jumped on four different kinds of ground, but there was no significant difference only on the balance pad and gymnastics mat (excellent group p=0.344, ordinary group p=1). In the inter-group analysis, it was found that there were significant differences between different levels of athletes in balance pad (p=0.043) and sand (p=0.02). In the buffering stage of the squatting jump, there was no significant difference in the buffering angle displacement of lower limb joints of different athletes on different ground. In the stage of pedal and extension, the angular displacement of the ankle on the middle platform of the excellent group was significantly different from that of the balance pad (p=0.014), gymnastics pad (p=0.017), and sand (p=0.013), but in the ordinary group, the ankle angular displacement of the middle platform was only significantly different from that of the gymnastics pad (p= 0.048) and sand (p=0.017), but not significantly different from that of the balance pad (p=0.166). The maximum angular velocity of the hip joint of athletes of different levels was significantly different among different ground groups. The maximum angular velocity of the ankle joint of the common group was significantly different in force platform and sand (p=0.032), gymnastics ma,t and sand (p=0.008), but there was no significant difference in balance pad. Conclusion: Different places have a great influence on the ordinary group, and on the ground with lower elastic coefficient, the maximum angular velocity of the ankle joint in the ordinary group is much smaller than that in the excellent group, which indicates that the rapid contractile ability of ankle muscles in the ordinary group is poor on the ground with low elastic coefficient. When squatting and jumping on the ground with a lower elastic coefficient, the excellent group has better body control and coordination and lower joint energy loss, which makes the jumping effect better, while the ordinary group squats and jumps on the ground with a low elastic coefficient and unstable ground. The jumping effect is poor.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the physicochemical and sensory properties of non-descriptive deshi and naked neck chicken meat. A total of 40 male and female mature Naked neck chicken (NNC) and non-descriptive deshi chicken (NDDC) were purchased and the chickens were randomly allocated to a 2 (Sex) × 2 (Breed) factorial arrangement in a completely randomized design. The carcass properties of the NNC and NDDC thigh, drumstick were alike (P>0.05) except for breast muscle. Sex affected on all physicochemical properties of carcass. Breed, sex and post slaughter time interactions effects on color attributes of drumstick and thigh meat except for breast meat CIE redness (a*) and CIE yellowness (b*) values. The pH value differed significantly (P<0.05) among the breeds, sex and post slaughter time. The sensory traits evaluations of the chicken breeds were alike (P>0.05). Fatty acid profiles of the chickens were not affected (P>0.05) by sex or breed. The ratios of omega-6 (n-6) and omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids were significantly lower in both breeds which are anticipated in reducing the risk of many heart-related illness. Therefore, the results obtained from this study could be contribute to stimulate the production of naked neck and non-descriptive deshi chickens as well as increases the consumer’s consciousness for healthier meat choices.

The sponge Suberites carnosuswas collected during low tides from West Coast of Mumbai. Crude extract was obtained by taking 10 gram of sponge samples in10 ml of methanol. In the present investigation we found the crude protein contents in Suberites carnosus as 0.096 mg/mL. The Neuromodulatory Na (+)-K+ ATPase activity and AChE on Sprague dawley rat brain and chicken brain extract may contribute to the pathogenesis of metabolic complications of the central nervous system, and that the undetectable enzyme activity in chicken brain convulsing chicken brain may result from considerable damage or necrosis of brain tissue during seizures. In A Ch E our study is evident that both the sponge extract showed enzyme inhibitor activity at certain concentrations. In hemolytic activity showed potent toxin which is responsible for hemagglutination. Hemagglutination activity is generated by the presence of protein and the protein found in sponges which usually show hemmaglutination activity that might be because of presence of lectin which showed hemolytic activity. In CAM study showed that methanolic extract has strong antiangiogenic activity. The protein bands showed lectins have variety of effects on cells, such as agglutination, mitogenic stimulation, redistribution of cell surface components, modifying the activity of membrane enzymes, inhibition of bacterial and fungal growth, cell aggregation, toxicity, immunomodulation.

COVID-19 treatment makes an immune system vulnerable to other infections such as Black fungus (Muceromycosis). India has been facing high rates of COVID-19 since April 2021 with a B.1.617 variant of the SARS- COV2 virus is a great concern. Mucormycosis is a rare type of fungal infection that occurs through exposure to fungi called mucormycetes. These fungi commonly occur in the environment particularly on leaves, soil, compost and animal dung and can entre the body through breathing, inhaling and exposed wounds in the skin. The oxygen supply by contaminated pipes and use of industrial oxygen along with dirty cylinders in the COVID-19 patients for a longer period of time has created a perfect environment for mucormycosis (Black fungus) infection.

Background: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic, symmetrical, inflammatory autoimmune disorder that primarily affects small joints, progression to large joints. About 1% of the world's population is affected by rheumatoid arthritis, women three times more frequent than men. The onset is more common between the ages of 40 and 50 years. Other than genetic, environmental factors have been associated with the development of rheumatoid arthritis. Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with several autoimmune disorders especially with RA. One of the candidate gene of RA is vitamin D receptor (VDR). The role of VDR has been well-known in variety of metabolic disorders and in regulation of inflammation. Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of VDR Fok1 (rs10735810) and VDR Bsm1 (rs1544410) gene polymorphisms in RA patients and controls from North Coastal Andhra Pradesh. Methods: A total of 300 samples (150 RA patients and 150 controls) were included in the present study and genotyping was accomplished by using PCR – RFLP technique. Results: Data was analyzed by SPSS 19 software. Chi square ‘p’ value revealed that VDR Fok1 (rs10735810) polymorphism has association with RA and VDR Bsm1 (rs1544410) polymorphism does not shows association with RA. Conclusions: In conclusion, the present study revealed that the VDR FokI (rs10735810) gene polymorphism is associated with RA and VDR Bsm1 (rs1544410) gene polymorphism does not shows association with RA.
