Aim: To systematically examine the published findings on the clinical effectiveness of periodontal therapy on anemic status of patients with chronic periodontitis. Method: A systematic search was conducted using MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Google Scholar, Google, Clinical trials registry and manual search using DPU Vidyapeeth library resources were searched up to 31st October 2019 to identify appropriate studies. All cross reference lists of the chosen studies were also screened. Two reviewers assessed the eligibility of studies. Results: The electronic and manual search identified a total of 138 articles. A final screen consisted of 21 articles out of which 16 articles were selected for full-text assessment. Finally, 5 articles were selected for detailed evaluation for the systematic review which evaluated the efficacy of effect of periodontal therapy on anemic patients with chronic periodontitis. Conclusions: Chronic periodontitis may cause to anemia and provides evidence that non-surgical periodontal therapy can improve the anemic status of patients with chronic periodontitis.

Scientific rationale for the study: Gingival recession is a condition causing functional and esthetic disturbances and has a high prevalence rate. A wide range of surgical techniques and membranes have been proposed through the decades for recession coverage. Amnion/ chorion membranes are rich in type I, IV, V, and VI collagen, proteoglycans, laminin, and fibronectin, demonstrating properties of wound protection, pain reduction, and effect on epithelialization and being bacteriostatic in nature. The available evidence suggests that Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) combined with amnion/chorion membranes has significant effect on gingival recession, gingival phenotype, gain in clinical attachment level, increase in Width of Keratinized Gingiva. Therefore the placental allograft is a viable alternative option for root coverage procedure in cases where there is a lack of autogenous connective tissue available to treat gingival recession defects or the patient is unwilling for a second site of surgery. Principal findings: The available evidence suggests that Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) combined with amnion/chorion membranes has significant effect on recession coverage, gain in clinical attachment level, and increase in Width of Keratinized Gingiva. The membrane has also shown to be effective on the gingival biotype, changing to a thick biotype. Practical implications: The placental allograft is a viable alternative option for root coverage procedure in cases where there is a lack of autogenous connective tissue available to treat gingival recession defects or the patient is unwilling for a second site of surgery.

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.

The natural healing process of skin wounds and burns is a time taking phase during which there is also risk of pathogenic invasion and to avoid this possible complication, various types of wound dressings i.e., organic, herbal and synthetic origin have been prepared and applied. Among them, recently explored dermal healing potential of collagen of wasted fish skin is getting attention. It is not only a low cost locally available form of organic waste but also exhibit antimicrobial properties. Recent data indicates that a wounded or burnt skin coated with fish skin recovers comparatively faster. Thus, further optimization is required to make pharmaceutically accessible for general public.

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.

There are different ingredients employed in right composition for fish foods that can be processed through sequential analysis of proteins, lipids, carbohydrate and other minerals based compounds. Fish wastes have become a major problem in the modern era due to accumulation of toxic compounds that released through animal wastes. There are different methods to store the fish foods for long periods of time. Contaminated foods leads to death of many fishes due to excess level of heavy metals such as mercury, arsenic and other environmental pollutants that causes degradation of fish’s internal parts. Beef also in crushed form also used a source of foods in many fish populations. Freezing of the foods is better option options as compared to the strategies for food storage as it maintain the internal pH and temperature of the nutrients by supplying them regulate heat flow in order to spillage of foods. This review focus on the foods used for fishes and animals inhabit in watery environments, source, nutritional value and biochemical aspects on the fish health’s. Phytoplanktons are used as ideal source of foods for most varieties of fishes because they are composed of proteins, lipids, minerals and also other useful nutritional value.

Phosphate solubilizing microbes (PSM) are beneficial soil microbes that they have the ability to dissolve unavailable soil P into available and can mineralize organic P into inorganic P. The experiment was conducted to study the effect of phosphate solubilizing microbes on soil P, yield of upland rice plants and the efficiency of P fertilizer on marginal soil. Design experiment of Randomized Block Design (RBD) was used in field experiment, consisted of two factors and three replications. Phosphate solubilizing microbe as the first factor consisted two levels i.e without and with PSM (a mixture of Pseudomonas sp. and Penicillium sp.). While the second factor was P fertilizer consists four levels ((0, 50, 75 and 100 kg P2O5 ha-1). The result of experiment showed that PSM improved soil phosphatase activity and yield of upland rice on marginal soil. Phosphate solubilizing microbe increased soil organic P mineralization was characterized by a decrease in organic P. Inoculation of PSM with phosphate fertilizer dose of 75 kg P2O5 ha-1 (75% recommended dose) gave best effect to soil phosphatase activity, soil P status and yield of upland rice in marginal soil.

Objectives: Using the method of meta-analysis to compares and analyzes the development characteristics of children’s FMS in countries with different development levels from the perspective of gender. Methods: We searched the PubMed, EBSCOhost, Embase and Web of Science databases for studies published up to April 5, 2021, empirical studies on the FMS of children aged 3-6 were included. Two researchers independently screened and extracted data according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. RevMan 5.4.1 software was used for meta-analysis to analyze the mastery level of global children’s FMS. Results: Finally, 18 articles were included. Results of the meta-analysis showed that whether in developed or developing countries, there was no statistical significance in comparing the locomotor skill scores of boys and girls (all P > 0.05); however, both in developed countries and developing countries, the scores of object control skills generally appears that boys are better than girls (Developed: 0.48 [95% CI 0.40, 0.56], Z=11.74, P＜0.05, I2=0%; Developing: 0.53 [95% CI 0.30, 0.76], Z=4.53, P＜0.05, I2=81%). Conclusion: From the perspective of gender, the developmental characteristics of FMS in children showed consistent patterns in countries with different development levels. There is no difference in the mastery of locomotor skills among children of different genders, but there is a significant difference in the mastery of object control skills, and boys are significantly better than girls.
