Background: Pre-eclampsia affects up to 10% pregnancies worldwide and is one of the foremost causes of poor maternal and foetal outcome. The situation in India is even grave with high rate of maternal mortality due to pre-eclampsia. Though multiple risk factors are associated with pre-eclampsia, it is known that first pregnancy itself is a significant pre-eclamptic risk factor. Therefore, in this study we intent to gauge the effects of low dose Acetyl salicylic acid (Aspirin) among pregnant women in prevention of pre-eclampsia. Materials and Methods: This randomized controlled study was conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Mamata Medical College and General Hospital. Total 100 patients were enrolled in this study. Pregnant women with and without any other pre-eclamptic risk factor consulting before the 16th week of amenorrhea were selected in the study. One group i.e. Treatment group (n=50) was given 75mg/day aspirin orally after breakfast to one week before estimated date of delivery while the other group received no aspirin. Both groups were followed for regular antenatal check-up. Results: The treatment group who received acetyl salicylic acid (aspirin), the age ranged from 20-35 years with a mean age of 24.81±3.12 years. Maximum number of cases belonged wot age group of 26-30 years. The treatment group who received acetyl salicylic acid (aspirin), the age ranged from 20-35 years with a mean age of 25.21±4.29 years. Moreover, we found pre-eclampsia in aspirin group was of lesser severity as compared to those in control group. Further, proportion wise the risk of pregnancy induced hypertension and eclampsia were also reduced with aspirin, however, these were not found statistically significant. Conclusion: Our study highlights the beneficial effect of low-dose acetyl salicylic acid in decreasing hypertension and proteinuria. This study also confirms the efficacy of acetyl salicylic acid in decreasing caesarean section, maternal mortality and morbidity.

Urena lobata commonly known as Congo jute or hibiscus burr is a shrub belonging to the family Malvaceae widely distributed throughout India. The plant is utilized by the traditional healers for various ailments such as arthritis, diabetes, cough and malaria. In the present study, phytochemical constituents and antioxidant property of Urena lobata was studies in both normal extract and silver nanoparticle form. The antioxidant property of leaf of the plant was also evaluated. We have reported alkaloid, saponin, steroid, terpenoid, tannin, flavonoid and carbohydrate and significant antioxidant activity by DPPH method from this plant. For the first time, silver nanoparticle was successfully synthesized using Urena lobata leaf extract in the current investigation and characterized by UV–VIS spectrophotometer and the characteristic surface plasmon resonance peak was identified to be ⁓424 nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was employed to ascertain the crystalline nature and purity of the silver nanoparticles which implied the presence of 111, 002, 022, 113, and 222 lattice planes of the cubic structure of metallic silver and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to determine specific functional groups in silver nanoparticles and the capping agents present in the leaf extract.

Antioxidant activities of some species of Mangnifera indica seed kernel (sucking mango, bush mango and opiororo mango) extracts were studied. The antioxidants capacities of the mango seed extracts were compared to some known synthetic antioxidant. Results obtained showed that the three different species of Mangnifera indica seed kernel which have 30.24+0.030%, 21.11+0.010% and 15.14+0.020% for sucking, bush and opiororo mangoes respectively had a lower scavenging capacity compared to the synthetic positive control standard (vitamin C) which recorded 32.57+0.001% in DPPH radical scavenging assay. Mangnifera indica specie B (bush mango) had the highest scavenging capacity (66.76+0.014%) compared to the synthetic positive control BHT (64.40+0.020%) in the reducing power determination assay. Mangnifera indica specie B (bush mango) and specie C (opiororo mango) had higher scavenging capacities of 14.64+0.031% and 14.29+0.019% for hydrogen peroxide scavenging capacity compared to synthetic sodium pyruvate which has 13.01+0.009%. Proximate composition of three varieties of mango seeds was also determined. The percentage moisture, ash crude fat, crude fibre, protein and carbohydrate contents was determined using A.O.A.C. method. Opiororo mango and Sucking mango had similar values for moisture content (8.00%) while Bush mango had comparable value of 8.05%. The ash content ranged between 0.40 - 1.80% and Bush mango had the highest value of 1.80±0.03%. The fat content was observed to be between 14.29±0.05% and 27.14±0.01% with sucking mango having the highest fat content (27.14±0.01%). Bush mango and Opiororo mango had similar values for crude fibre (49.50%) while sucking mango had comparable value of 49.00±0.03%. The crude protein ranged between 9.26 - 14.27%. This study suggests that the seeds may be nutritionally potent with appreciable high levels of nutrients and energy which can be incorporated into feed/food.

Mercury (Hg) is a natural chemical element found in the Earth's crust in three forms, namely elemental, inorganic and organic. Mercury is formed naturally through anthropogenic activities, volcanoes or seepage of groundwater through mercury deposits. Mercury exposure cause harm to pregnant women and the fetus. Some mercury compounds bioaccumulate and cross the placenta to the fetus. They also pollute colostrum and breast milk, causing severe health problems for newborns such as, disabled and a tendency to hyperactivity or autism. High fish consumption increase mercury levels in pregnant women. Fish intake during pregnancy is associated with mercury levels in hair in pregnant women, mainly the frequency of fish intake, types of fish and the amount of fish consumed. This study aims to determine the relationship between fish consumption and mercury levels in the hair of pregnant women. Hair samples were taken from 53 pregnant women in Bulukumba district using purposive sampling technique. Hair analysis used Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) AMA 254 with a wavelength of 253.7 µm. This research is analytic observational with a cross-sectional study design. The results showed that were 73.6% of mercury levels in the hair of pregnant women were abnormal, then 64.2% of pregnant women who consumed fish> 3 times / week and 35.8% of fish consumption < 3 times / week It is concluded that there was a significant relationship between fish consumption and mercury levels in the hair of pregnant women, but it was not significant for total fish consumption. The community is advised to use mercury friendly materials and tools and to the government to intensify education to vulnerable communities about the dangers of mercury in pregnant women.

Early blight is the most common and devastating disease of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) caused by Alternaria solani (Ellis & Martin) Jones and Grout. In vitro experiments were conducted during 2017-2018 to search appropriate growth medium of A. solani, as well as suitable fungi toxicant through quick screening methods. Seven different growth medium were used to culture the fungus in laboratory. Mycelial growth was very fast in Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) followed by Richards’s Agar (RA) medium. Intermediate growth habit was recorded in Sabouraud’s Agar (SA), Czapek’s Dox Agar (CDA) and Potato Carrot Extract Agar (PCEA). The growth was very slow in Oat Meal Agar (OMA) and Malt Extract Agar (MES) at 72 hours of incubation. On bioefficacy evaluation, Infield Ayur showed very negligible effect to restrict mycelial growth and conidia formation, whereas Indofil M-45 (mancozeb) was more efficacious followed by Indofil Z-78 (zineb), Merger (tricyclazole + mancozeb) and Ishaan (chlorothalonil). Selection of most suitable culture media is essential for efficient growth of the fungus and its detail study. Quick and simple method to select effective fungicides within 48-72 hours is very much helpful for developing suitable disease management strategy.

Chlorpyrifos exposure may lead to acute toxicity at higher dose persistent health effects follow acute poisoning or from long term exposure to low dose, and developmental effects appear in fetuses and children even at very small dose. The aims and objective of this review article is to study the toxicity and biochemical effects of chlorpyrifos on different body organs of Male Sprague Dawely Rats. The danger of using chlorpyrifos persists either it is used in high amount or in low amount so it must be used when it is needed most. The administration of chlorpyrifos to rats induced testicular and cardiac toxicities significant decrease in serum testosterone, FSH and LH levels as well as the significant increase in CK-MB, LDH and AST activities. In liver and kidney tissues, dimension of glutathione and the action of superoxide dismutase and catalase chemicals altogether diminished by chlorpyrifos. Chlorpyrifos and lead acetate prompted change in serum and lipid outlines and observe oxidative pressure. Biochemical investigation demonstrated that organizations of the chlorpyrifos and deltamethrin obviously cause liver harm. Also sertoli cells and decrease in number of sperm count as the main factor for chlorpyrifos. These changes more obvious in rats: treated with higher dose of chlorpyrifos. So it is concluded that chlorpyrifos leads to such changes in living organisms included the rats as well as in humans.

The COVID-19 epidemic has already exerted a wide effect on the global level and the rapid growth of infected cases resulted in an overwhelmed health care providing systems. Many countries that have already peaked and flattened the infection curve reached now the minimum infection rate and minimal or zero reporting of new cases. As a consequence, many countries are reducing their precautionary measures which might lead to the emerging of a second incidence wave of SARS-CoV-2. On the other hand, direct antiviral combination therapy as Ledipasvir/Sofosbuvir showed sufficient efficacy in treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) with an acceptable safety profile showing a minimum side effect and well tolerated upon administration during the treatment time course as well. Besides, according to published studies and collected data, this combination recorded a minimal drug interactions with the other therapeutic agents used for the management of co-morbid conditions with COVID-19. Finally, the reported results of performed studies showed a superior time to clinical recovery from COVID-19 for Sofosbuvir / Daclatasvir regmin over that of Lopinavir/ritonavir, and thus, the proposal of involving Ledpasvir/Sofosbuvir combination as a better treatment option than other direct antiviral agents in the management of COVID-19 for the second wave.
