Over the past four decades, India’s cropping pattern has experienced profound structural changes, with crop diversification emerging as a defining feature. These transformations, spanning the period 1980–81 to 2023–24, have been driven by a combination of economic reforms, climatic variability, technological advancements, and policy interventions. A marked shift has occurred from a cereal-centric production system toward a more diversified agricultural base that increasingly includes horticultural crops, pulses, oilseeds, and other commercial crops. The study highlights the role of government initiatives, innovations in agricultural technology, and changing climatic conditions in shaping these dynamics. To investigate the determinants of diversification, explanatory variables such as percentage of irrigated area (PIA), road density (RD), agricultural credit (AC), and fertilizer use per hectare (FUPH) are examined. These infrastructural and technological factors together explain the evolving trajectory of cropping patterns across India.

Suicidal thoughts in college students is a universal public health agenda with complex psychosocial antecedents and protective variables. Emotional competence (EC), an ability to notice, analyze, and regulate emotions are linked to lower suicidal ideation, although the role of intellectual competence is debatable. This study investigates the relationships between suicidal ideation, emotional competence, and academic competence (AICS) in a college sample in Lucknow, India. 300 college students were included for this cross-sectional study with Standardized scales included the Suicidal Ideation Scale (SIS), an Emotional Competence Scale (EC), and the Academic Information Competence Scale (AICS) were used. Categorical associations were checked using chi square statistics with effect size estimates (phi), and independent samples t tests were planned under certain assumptions. The study found a significant correlation between SIS and EC categories (χ² = 150.792, p <.001, φ = 0.709), indicating that higher EC was linked to lower suicidal thoughts. There were no significant relationships between SIS and AICS (χ² = 8.87, p =.353) or EC and AICS (χ² = 5.903, p =.665). In this study, emotional competence appears to be a strong predictor of lower suicidal ideation, although intellectual competence does not show a meaningful link. The findings suggest the use of emotional skill training into campus mental health interventions.

Urinary tract infections [UTIs] are more frequently linked to Proteus mirabilis. To isolate P. mirabilis, 100 urine samples were taken from patients at the City of Medicine Teaching Hospital in Baghdad City who had recurrent UTIs. and look into the ureC gene's distribution. The purpose of the current study was to examine the ureC genes in Gram-negative bacterial isolates from UTI patients and how they differed among bladder cancer patients. Patients with urinary tract infections [UTIs] provided one hundred urine samples. Fifty urine samples from patients with bladder cancer were included in the first group, while fifty urine samples from patients without the disease were included in the second group. The age range of the groups was 15 to more than 65. Using biochemical testing, the gram-negative bacterial species responsible for UTIs were examined and identified. Gender, age groups, and bladder cancer were among the variables linked to UTIs that were investigated. The P. mirabilis isolates were identified based on the morphological and biochemical features of the cultures, and the diagnosis was confirmed using the VITEK 2 compact system. The polymerase chain reaction [PCR] method using ureC genes was used for final identification. The distribution of P. mirabilis by age was significant, with a higher distribution in the 50–55 age range. IL-6: control 13.2+2.8 pg/ml, patients with urinary tract infections [UTIs] and with bladder cancer 12+1.9, patients with urinary tract infections [UTIs] with non-bladder cancer 13.5+4.1. IL-8 levels were: control 1542+123.2 pg/ml, patients with urinary tract infections [UTIs] and with bladder cancer 2542.8+265.8, patients with urinary tract infections [UTIs] with non-bladder cancer 3212+231.2

Alchornea laxiflora is a shrub belonging to the family of Euphobiaceae and is widely distributed in tropical Africa. The present study evaluated the in vitro antioxidant activities, in vivo antioxidant activities, anti-toxicity potentials of Alchornea laxiflora root extract, possible hepatoprotective effect against methylcholanthrene-induced cancer and the hepatoprotection compared to cyclophosphamide using adult Wistar rats. N-hexane root extract of Alchornea laxiflora demonstrated appreciable in vitro antioxidant capacity and radical scavenging ability compared with reference standards. Oral administration of the extract at varying doses (50, 100, and 200mg/kg body weight) was shown to significantly decrease (p<0.05) the effect of liver damage on methylcholanthrene-induced (50mg/kg) cancer when compared to the group administered cyclophosphamide (20mg/kg body weight) by reducing the activities of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and alkaline Phosphatase (AST, ALT and ALP) in the serum. In the 3-Methylcholanthrene administered groups (50 mg/kg), there was significant increase (p<0.05) in Malondialdehyde (MDA) level as well as a decrease in reduced glutathione (GSH) content when compared to the positive control. Animals administered with Alchornea laxiflora (50, 100, 200mg/kg) showed a significant increase in GSH content and significant decrease in malondialdehyde (MDA) level relative to the animals administered cyclophosphamide. The result from the histological assay showed that there was no observable lesion in groups administered Alchornea laxiflora when compared to the negative control which showed plates of hepatocellular atrophy. These findings suggest that Alchornea laxiflora root has potent antioxidant activity which may be responsible for some of its reported anticancer activities.

This is a retrospective study of 11 cases of traumatic dislocation of the fibular tendons in footballers, collected from the archives of the Department of Orthopedic Trauma Surgery at Avicenne Hospital, University Hospital Center of Rabat, from 2016 to 2025. The aim of this work is to study the epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical, and surgical characteristics of this entity. Dislocation of the fibular tendons is a rare lesion, accounting for less than one percent of ankle injuries. The mean age of our patients was 25.8 years. All patients were male (100%). The impairment was exclusively unilateral (100%), with no preferential side. The etiologies were dominated by sports activity. A total of 85.7% of cases had a prior medical history, predominantly ankle sprains. Imaging confirmed the diagnosis and allowed classification according to Davis and Eckert. All patients underwent surgical treatment based on the creation of a fibro-periosteal flap, supplemented by systematic immobilization for 6 weeks in a resin boot. At a mean follow-up of 5 years, ligament stabilization was achieved in the entire study population within 6 to 8 weeks, with resumption of sports activity at 3 months.

Luteolin (LT), a flavonoid known for its health benefits was investigated for possible ameliorative effects against hepato-renal toxicity induced by diethylnitrosamine and carbon tetrachloride in rats. Thirty-six male Wistar rats were assigned into six groups; One and two served as control and intoxicated groups, groups three-five were intoxicated and treated with LT at 10, 20 and 40mg/kg, respectively and group six received LT only (20mg/kg). The LT was given orally three times a week while Diethylnitrosamine (DEN) (50mg/kg) and CCl4 (0.5mL/kg) were administered intraperitoneally once a week for four consecutive weeks. Toxicants exposure significantly increased the activities of serum aminotransferases (ALT and AST) by 28% and 30%, and levels of serum urea and creatinine by 15% and 28%, respectively. The intoxication increased lipid peroxidation by 81% and 25%, and also decreased superoxide dismutase by 16% and 17%, and reduced glutathione by 31% and 25% in the liver and kidney of rats, respectively. In addition, inflammatory markers, myeloperoxidase and nitric oxide increased in the liver by 650% and 49%, and in the kidney by 367% and 11%, respectively in the intoxicated rats. Histology of liver revealed necrosis and multifocal hepatocellular coagulation while glomerular atrophy and tubular epithelial necrosis were seen in kidneys of intoxicated rats. Interestingly, LT pretreatment significantly attenuated markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in the liver and kidney of intoxicated rats. In conclusion, luteolin may serve as chemotherapeutic agent to mitigate the adverse effects of chemicals on the hepato-renal tissues of animals.
