Effect of migraine severity on the retinal nerve fiber layer thickness

: Objective: This study's goal is to assess the severity of migraine and effect of drugs on ocular perfusion pressure and RNFL thickness. Methods: The Ophthalmology office served as the study's setting, Kafr-El Sheikh university hospital, as a cross sectional, prospective and observational study. Each patient or parent gave their permission to conduct the exams. The research comprised of 90 patients aged 15–60 years old, of both sexes. Results: Average RNFL thickness decreased significantly in the temporo-inferior, temporo-superior, and temporal quadrants as migraine pain intensified. There was statistically significant decrease in nasal-superior (NS) quadrant in patients on acute treatment than patients not on treatment and also than patients on preventive treatment with or without topiramate also, there was statistically significant decrease in T quadrant in patients with preventive treatment with topiramate than those not on treatment and those with acute treatment. Conclusion: Migraine has a significant impact on the posterior part of the eye. The duration and severity of migraine episodes are thought to contribute to a gradual reduction in ganglion cells and axons, leading to a notable effect on the thickness of the RNFL.
Impact of substitution of Maize silage with silage of onion veins and lemon pulp mixture on the productive performance of small ruminants

Thirty Barki lambs aged 5 months (22.90 ± 0.15 kg) were divided to three experimental groups (10 per group). First group (R1) fed CFM plus maize silage (60:40%), as control. Second group (R2) fed 60% CFM + 20%maize silage + 20% onion veins and lemon pulp silage (50% to replace of all MS). Third group (R3) fed 60% CFM + 40% onion veins and lemon pulp silage (100% to replace all of MS). The experimental period was extended to 5 months. Lambs were fed the rations with two levels from silage of onion veins and lemon pulp mixture and the roughage concentrate ratio was 60:40%, respectively. Results showed that values of pH were in normal range but there were increase in NH 3 -N content, while there was decrease in Acetic acid content. R1 was related to be the superiority over the other ration for their GP, CH4 , DOM, and MCP and in-situ degradability. All nutrients digestibility and all rumen parameters were decrease by increased level of OLS replacement. There was decreasing in Malondialdehyde while there was increasing in CAT, SOD and GSH for R2 and R3 compared to R1. ADG was decrease while FCR was increase by increasing level of replacement. It is possible to substitution onion and lemon pulp silage instead of MS silage by 50% to reduce feeding cost and to obtain a relatively reasonable return but reducing the replacement rates to less 50% may be more profitable and without adverse effect on animal production.

Performance of sequential application of pre and post-emergence herbicides for management of weeds in aerobic rice (Oryza sativa)

A field experiment was conducted during the rainy (kharif) season of 2014 and 2015 at Zonal Agricultural Research Station, V.C. Farm, Mandya, Karnataka, India, to study the performance of sequential application of herbicides in aerobic rice (Oryza sativa L.). Among the weed-management practices, hand-weeding at 20, 40 and 60 days after sowing (DAS) resulted in significantly lower density and dry weight of all categories of weeds, ensuing higher grain yield (5.57 and 5.42 t/ha, respectively); this was closely followed by pre-emergence application of pyrazosulfuron ethyl @ 25 g/ha and by post-emergence application of bispyribac-sodium @ 25 g/ha at 20 days after sowing (5.20 and 5.12 t/ha, respectively) during both the years. However, the higher net returns (`48,210 and 47,040/ha, respectively) and benefit: cost ratio (2.62 and 2.58, respectively), during both the years were obtained from sequential application of herbicide treatment. Uncontrolled weed growth caused about 51% reduction in grain yield of aerobic rice during 2014 and 2015.
As comunidades de aves em duas fisionomias da vegetação de Caatinga no estado do Piauí, Brasil

This work had as objective to analyze the communities of birds present in two distinct physiognomy in the domain of the Caatinga. Using the method of census for counting through fixed points, it was possible to register a total of 115 species of birds, distributed in 23 families. Arboreal caatinga presented in the study area 33 exclusive species, while in arbustive caatinga only 21 had been observed. Of the 18 considered species as endemic of the domain of Caatinga, 10 species (55.5%) are observed in the area of the study. Through cluster analysis ("to cluster"), it was possible to observe that the communities of birds are segregated in two distinct groups, a group related with caatinga arborea and another on catinga arbustiva. However, difference was not found significant among the average abundance of the species of birds of arboreal caatinga and arbustive caatinga (U = 6555; p 0,05). Also does not have differences verified between the six areas of sampling how much the relative abundance of the species of birds (H = 0.394; p 0,05). On the other hand, the data indicate that it has a distinction of which species are more abundant in each physiognomy. KEY-WORDS: Ecological analysis, Caatinga, Birds, Piaui. RESUMO.

Association between the Demographic Characteristics of Patients and the Severity of COVID-19

The relationship between obesity and COVID-19 is controversial. In addition, the disease’s relationship to sex and re-infection is not fully understood. This study investigated the demographic characteristics of 120 patients in the age range from 27 to 70 years old, without chronic disease, who were infected with COVID-19 and treated at Al-Hussein Teaching Hospital in Thi-Qar Province/Southern of Iraq. In this study, the male increased non-significantly than female 55.83% 44.17% respectively. The infected females had a higher BMI (29.1 ± 6.07kg/m2) than males (26.7 ± 5.99 kg/m2); 12.5% of the male patients and 0.83% of the female patients were previously infected with COVID-19; and 12.5% of the patients and 7.5% of female patients were previously vaccinated against COVID-19. The study noted a positive relationship between BMI and disease severity in both male and female patients and that males had a higher percentage of severe disease than females. The study identified age and BMI had association with disease severity, that COVID-19 occurred more in males than females, and that 80% of patients were not vaccinated against COVID-19.
Late Oligocene–Miocene mantle upwelling and interaction inferred from mantle signatures in gabbroic to granitic rocks from the Urumieh–Dokhtar arc, south Ardestan, Iran

ABSTRACT The south Ardestan plutonic rocks constitute major outcrops in the central part of Iran’s Cenozoic magmatic belt and encompass a wide compositional spectrum from gabbro to granodiorite. U–Pb laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) dating of zircon three granodiorites yielded ages of 24.6 ± 0.1, 24.6 ± 0.1, and 24.5 ± 0.1 Ma. For tonalitic rocks, internal Rb–Sr isochron ages (biotite, feldspars) indicate cooling ages of 20.4 ± 0.1, 20.5 ± 0.1, and 22.3 ± 0.1 Ma, which are slightly younger than the zircons’ ages. The limited variations in their Sr–Nd isotope ratios indicate derivation from an asthenospheric mantle source. A geodynamic model is presented in which late Oligocene–Miocene rollback of the Neotethyan subducting slab triggered asthenospheric upwelling and partial melting in the south Ardestan. These melts were subsequently modified through fractional crystallization and minor crustal contamination en-route to the surface. Plagioclase + orthopyroxene-dominated fractional crystallization accounts for differentiation of gabbro to gabbroic diorite, whereas fractionation of clinopyroxene, titanomagnetite, and orthopyroxene led to differentiation of gabbroic diorite to diorite. Amphibole fractionation at deeper levels led to the development of tonalites.
Response of rice (Oryza sativa) hybrids to integrated nitrogen management under different methods of cultivation

A field experiment was conducted during the rainy (kharif) seasons of 2012 and 2013 at Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, to study the effect of integrated nitrogen management on performance of rice (Oryza sativa L.) hybrids under different methods of cultivation on sandy clay-loam soil. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with 2 crop-establishment methods and 2 hybrids assigned to main plots, and 6 integrated nitrogen-management treatments were allocated in subplots and replicated thrice. Transplanting of rice under system of rice intensifica- tion (SRI) and rice cv. Arize 6444 recorded significantly higher growth attributes, viz. plant height, tillers/hill, leaf- area index, and dry-matter accumulation/hill, with almost all yield-attributing characters and yield, except plant height and panicle length which were significantly higher PHB 71 than Arize 6444. The SRI planting increased the grain and straw yield by 14.76% and 13.11% over normal transplanting. Similarly, SRI planting and Arize 6444 cultivar also gave significantly maximum benefit in respect to gross returns, net returns ( 66,138 and 61,535/ha) and benefit: cost ratio (1.86 and 1.66) over normal transplanting and PHB 71. Among all the inte- grated nitrogen-management treatments, application of 50% recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN) + 50% N through FYM + Azospirillum recorded significantly higher growth attributes, yield attributes, grain yield (6.94 t/ha), straw yield (9.16 t/ha), harvest index, net monetary returns ( 68,064/ha), but application of 125% RDN was found economically feasible in respect to benefit: cost ratio (1.88) owing to lower cost of cultivation.
Alleviation of weed stress in wheat (Triticum aestivum) through herbicides and their combinations

A field experiment was conducted during the winter (rabi) seasons of 201213 and 201314 at Udaipur (Rajasthan), to study the effect of 12 different herbicide combinations to control complex weed flora in wheat (Triti- cum aestivum L.) crop. Pooled data of 2 years experimentation indicated that the application of various herbicide combinations significantly reduced density and biomass of complex weed flora. The yield attributes, viz. plant height, effective tillers, days to heading; days to maturity and 1,000-seed weight were significantly influenced by application of various herbicide combinations. The application of herbicides increased the yield, harvest index and monetary income of wheat crop compared to weedy check, although maximum grain yield was recorded under weed free plots. Amongst the herbicides, application of sulfosulfuron + metsulfuron @ 30 + 2 g a.i./ha rsulted in higher number of effective tillers (485.8/m2), the maximum grain yield (5.29 t/ha), harvest index (37.9%), net re- turns ( 79,480/ha) and benefit: cost ratio (3.06), which was superior to rest of the treatments, as the same treat- ment caused significant reduction in weed density (6.65/m2) and weed biomass (6.24 g/m2). Two-year study indi- cates that application of a ready-mixed herbicide (sulfosulfuron + metsulfuron) @ 32 g a.i/ha was best for weed- control, higher yield and net returns from wheat in southern plain zone of Rajasthan.
Efficacy of Tribinuron–methyl, Fluroxypyr and their Combinations in Controlling Broad-Leaved Weeds in Wheat

Field experiments were conducted at Itay EL-Baroud-Agricultural Research Station, Itay EL-Baroud, Beherah Governorate, Egypt, during the seasons 2020-2021 and 2021-2022. The objective was to evaluate the efficacy of tribinuron-methyl, fluroxypyr and their combinations in controlling broad-leaved weeds in wheat fields. Hand weeding was performed at 15 and 30 days after sowing (DAS), while the herbicides were applied at 15 days after sowing (DAS). At harvest, fresh and dried weed biomasses (g m -2 ) were measured, as well as certain agronomic wheat crop parameters such as 1000 grain weight (grams), wheat grain and straw yields (kg fed -1 ). The results showed that all of the tested formulations significantly reduced the biomass of weeds including both fresh and dried biomasses of annual broad-leaved weeds. Melilotus indica L. , Beta vulgaris L. , Sinapis arvensis L. and Cichorium pumpilum Jacq. , which were the most predominant weeds in the wheat field during both seasons. Throughout the two seasons of investigation, the combinations of tribinuron-methyl+ fluroxypyr demonstrated the most significant reduction in both weed control efficiency (WCE) and the fresh weight of annuls of broad-leaved weeds. These compositions improved all wheat crop biological parameters, including grain and straw yields, throughout the investigated two seasons, and were followed by hand weeding.
Imaging of Otosclerosis: Radio-surgical Correlation

Background: Otosclerosis is a primary dystrophy affecting the otic capsule bone. Computed Tomography (CT) has crucial role in its management. Aim: To assess the diagnostic value of CT scan by comparing its results to operatingdata, to define the imaging use in the preoperative anatomicassessmentand to assess the prognostic input of CTscan. Patients and Methods: A retrospective study from January 2012 to December 2019 at the Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) department of Farhat Hached Hospital in Sousse, Tunisia. It included patients explored by CT scan for otosclerosis. We sought to verify CT scan findings during middle ear exploration and concordance or disaccordance between both was recorded. Results: A total of 50 patients were included and 56 earswere operated.Mean age of the patients was 38 years (15-64 years). A female predominance was noted with 39 women (78%) and 11 men (22%). Hearing loss was the dominant symptom. The sensitivity of CT scan for the diagnosis was 87.5%. CT scan had a statistically significant value in the diagnosis of thickening footplate with a sensitivity of 63% and a specificity of 88% ( p = 0.001 ). The extent of otosclerosis represented a poor prognostic factor with a statistically significant value ( p=0.030 ). Conclusion: CT scan not only confirms the diagnosis of otosclerosis and eliminates differential diagnoses, but also establish a precise anatomical review and assess the
Epidemiology of Acute Kidney Injury and Associated Factors among Patients with Malignancy: Analysis of Hospital Inpatients Database in Benha university Hospital Internal Medicine Departement, Hematology and Oncology Unit

: Background: One of the most serious complications among cancer patients is Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). This study aimed to detect the AKI incidence in cancer patients, to discover which clinical factors could increase the risks of AKI, and to assess the effect of AKI on in-hospital mortality, length of stay. Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted on 276 malignant patients (AKI: 40 cases and no AKI: 236 cases). Serum creatinine, blood urea, complete blood count, uric acid, Electrolyte'' potassium, sodium, calcium'', urine analysis with comment on RBCs cast, liver function test'' ALT, AST, Albumin and bilirubin'' were measured every three weeks, and urine albumin creatinine ratio was done before chemotherapy and after finishing treatment. Results: pre-existing comorbidities including hypertension (HTN), diabetes (DM), and coronary heart disease are significant predictors for increased risk of AKI in cancer patients. Patients with hyponatremia, hypokalemia and hyperuricemia shared a significantly higher risk of AKI (a OR = 2.95, 2.49, and 3.01). Cox regression analysis revealed that HTN and DM also increased the mortality risk when adjusting demographic and clinical features. The mean survival rate was significantly lower in group with AKI compared to group without AKI (16.331 versus 19.589). AKI stage II and III had longer median length of hospital stay compared to stage I.
Thermoreflectance Imaging of Back-Irradiance Heating in High Power Diode Lasers at Several Operating Wavelengths

In optical systems employing high-power diode lasers, back-irradiance of emission onto the laser facet has been found to contribute to catastrophic optical damage. In this paper, thermoreflectance imaging has been used to measure quantum well temperature rise at the facet for diode lasers emitting at several wavelengths under a wide range of back-irradiance beam positions. For TM-polarized diode lasers operating near 800 nm, the quantum well temperature at the facet is found to reach a maximum when back-irradiance is positioned at the cladding-substrate interface. For TE-polarized lasers operating near 900 nm, a similar effect is observed, albeit with lower magnitude. Interestingly, a second maximum of similar magnitude is observed when back-irradiance is centered on the metal-semiconductor ohmic contact interface. For TE-polarized lasers operating near 1000 nm, the cladding-substrate critical point disappears and the critical point at the metal-semiconductor interface intensifies. The dependence of the critical back-irradiance spot location on operating wavelength originates in the spectral absorptivities of the device's constituent materials. In addition, the incident light's polarization can affect its absorption in the metallic solder. These measurements provide key insights into the potential thermal contribution of back-irradiance to catastrophic optical damage in diode lasers at various operating wavelengths.
Performance of celery (Apium graveolens) in response to the combined effects of vermicompost and different vermiwash

A field study was carried out during the dry season of 2020 at the University of Guyana, Guyana, South America, to determine the combined effects of vermicompost and vermiwash produced from lemongrass [Cymbopogon citratus Staph (DC.)], moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.), madar (Calotropis gigantea (L.) Dryand. ) and rice (Oryza sativa L.) straw on growth parameters of celery (Apium graveolens L.) as compared to chemical fertilizer. The experiment was conducted using a randomized block design with 10 treatments and 3 replications. Plant-growth parameters showed that, treatment T1 (vermicompost + vermiwash + madar) recorded the highest plant height (61.0 cm) and percentage water content (92.5). Physico-chemical analysis after harvesting showed the highest nitrogen (14.5 mg/L), phosphorus (703.9 mg/L) and potassium (1326.2 mg/L) levels in the soil of treatment with vermicompost + vermiwash + madar (T1).
Role of Some Food by Product Extracts Compared to Silymarin as Protective Agents against Acute Liver Injury in Paracetamol Overdose-Exposed Rats

In paracetamol (PCM) overdose-exposed rats, the hepato-protective properties of ethanolic extracts from grape seeds and peanut skins (GSEE and PSEE, respectively) were compared to silymarin in this study. The total amount of phenolic and flavonoids as well as the ability to scavenge radical DPPH of GSEE and PSEE were measured. Twenty adult male albino rats were split evenly into five groups for the in vivo evaluation; including the control group (GI), while PCM treated group (GII) got paracetamol once orally for 14 days at a dosage of 640 mg/kg/day, with no protective treatment. Silymarin (50 mg /kg /day), and 200 mg /kg /day of either GSEE or PSEE were given concurrently with PCM to GIII, GIV and GV, respectively. PCM overdose led to a significant elevation in the activities of transaminases and alkaline phosphatase (84.00±10.64, 396.00±49.44, and 579.67±72.00 U/L versus 44.00±5.72, 178.00±22.09, and 322.0±40.58 U/L in control group), along with an obvious decline in serum proteins. In the liver, the lipid profile was disrupted associated with a marked elevation in oxidative and inflammation markers, which was further confirmed by histological examination. These disorders were alleviated by the administration of food waste extracts. Even while PSEE showed a little increase in total phenolic, flavonoids and DPPH radical scavenging ability (604.45, 542.05, and 618.59 versus 583.70 mg gallic acid equivalent, 503.80 mg catechin equivalent, and 550.44 mg Trolox equivalent, respectively/g GSEE), GSEE was the nearest treatment when compared to silymarin. This study suggests GSEE and PSEE as alternative therapies for paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity.
Phylogenetic evolution of Egyptian goat breeds “Capra hircus” based on Mitochondrial DNA D-loop sequence.

: The population genetic and molecular evidence of the Arabian goat breed's phylogenetic standing ( Capra hircus ) is misunderstood, and little is known about genetic diversity in this species. Despite their importance in producing meat and milk, as well as their capacity to endure difficult conditions with little access to food and water, goats are the most common animal in Arab countries. We investigated the phylogenetic history and demographics of domestic goats by sequencing a hypervariable segment of the mtDNA reference region for Baladi, Demuscous, and Zaraibi breeds, as well as sequences retrieved from 16 Arab countries. Three significantly divergent lineages associated with Africa and the Middle East were identified through phylogenetic analysis of the investigated strains of Egyptian goats' mtDNA D-loop region. All Egyptian goats were allocated to lineage A, which is made up of 445 different haplotypes, including Egyptian and Arabian goats. Diversity in haplotypes and in nucleotides for each Arabian goat population was calculated separately and estimated to be 0.99835 and 0.02576, respectively. Finally, we suggest that all goat lineages descend from a single clan.
