Published: February 2024

In the present investigation, estimation of the genetic diversity among thirty five germplasm lines of sunflower was undertaken by using Mahalanobis D2 analysis. Based on the relative magnitude of D2 values, the experimental material was distributed into six clusters. Out of six clusters, cluster I was the largest comprising of nineteen lines. Single plant yield, plant height, volume weight together contributed maximum (82.85 %) to the total genetic divergence. Maximum inter cluster distance was exhibited between clusters II and IV. The greater the distance between two clusters, the wider the genetic diversity among the genotypes of these clusters. Hence, hybridization between the genotypes from these clusters would produce high heterotic recombinants.

Per capita consumption of edible oils has significantly increased (Yadav et al., 2022). Deficiency of essential omega-3 fatty acid, altered omega-6 to 3 ratio and its impact on human health is well established (Simopoulos, 2002). Majority of the edible oil consumed in India are rich in omega-6 fatty acid, saturated fatty acids and have limited amount of omega-3 fatty acids. In orderto improve omega 6:3 ratio, omega-3 fatty acid intake needs to be raised. Blending can effectively improve the omega-3 content and thereby omega-6 to 3 ratio (Joshi et al., 2022). However, maintaining the nutritional quality, long term storage and thermal stability of these blended oils is a major challenge.

Conservation Agriculture is a farming system that can prevent losses of arable land while regenerating degraded lands (Vlek and Tamene, 2009). Dumanski et al. (2006) explained that conservation agriculture is the integration of ecological management with modern, scientific, agricultural production. It promotes maintenance of a permanent soil cover, minimum soil disturbance, and diversification of plant species. Lal (2001) explained the historical development of agriculture with tillage being a major component of management practices. No-tillage and direct seeding is an effective crop production method for reducing production costs and soil conservation (Huang et al., 2011). Rice – based cropping systems form an integral part of agriculture in Chhattisgarh. Several intensive rice based cropping systems have been identified and are being practiced by the farmers. However, suitable rice based cropping has to be evaluated, to assess the stability in production. Inclusion of oilseeds in the cropping system is more beneficial than cereals followed by cereals (Kumpawat, 2001).

To meet UN 2030’s agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the use of non-renewable bioresources is being campaigned globally to ensure food security and resource sustainability while minimizing environmental impact. Among oilseeds, soybean is the most important leading oilseed crop worldwide and being a high rich seed protein (40%) crop requires high N for its growth. Its requirement is largely met through biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) and to certain extent from native pool. BNF in soybean takes place via specific N fixing symbiotic bacteria (e.g., bradyrhizobia) inside the root nodules of the plant-soil rhizosphere (rhizobiome) wherein other microbes such as arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are also actively involved in performing various soil functions. However, during crop growth, BNF activity is limited by number of environmental and ecological factors. Amongst all, drought and nutritional stress are the most limiting factors affecting the productivity of soybean. Hence to mitigate the adverse conditions, improve soil biological health and overall productivity there is need to have well adapted microbial symbionts such as super nodulating and moisture tolerant soybean rhizobia and AM fungi for sustaining the productivity of soybean.

Published: February 2024

Nanoparticles are small particles that have a wide range of potential applications, including drug delivery, imaging, and diagnostics. However, the safety and efficacy of nanoparticles are still not fully understood, and there are concerns about their potential to cause toxicity. Regulatory affairs professionals play a key role in ensuring the safety and efficacy of nanoparticles by interpreting and applying regulatory guidelines, conducting safety assessments, and preparing regulatory submissions. They also communicate with regulatory agencies throughout the development and commercialization of nanoparticle products. By carefully performing these tasks, regulatory affairs professionals can help to bring these innovative products to market while protecting the public health. The role of regulatory affairs in nanoparticles formulation is complex and challenging, but it is essential to ensure the safety and efficacy of these innovative products. By carefully performing their duties, regulatory affairs professionals can help to bring these products to market and improve the lives of millions of people.

Published: February 2024

Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are worm infections that can be facilitated by one or more intestinal parasitic worms such as roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides), hookworm (HW; Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus), threadworm (Strongyloides stercoralis), and whipworm (Trichuris trichiura). More than two billion people are thought to be affected by STH infections globally. Eggs in human feces, which are commonly seen in low-resource countries, spread STH by contaminating the soil and water in unhygienic places. The transmission is by human exposures to the infective stages, either by direct skin penetration or through ingestion that could result in a serious illness, though infections remain asymptomatic in the majority of cases with light-intensity infections. Azadirachta indica, usually called Indian neem, has been extensively used in ayurveda, unani, and homoeopathic medicine since time immemorial. A. inidica has been used ethnopharmacologically to treat diseases such as cancer, diarrhea, gastric ulcers, wound infections, trypanosomiasis, malaria, and tuberculosis. A. indica leaf extracts in methanol were tested for their ability to treat Pheretima posthuma worms. From the experimental outcome, we find that the leaf extracts of A. indica, when compared to the usual medication, the plant was found to exhibit substantial anthelmintic activity. The present research concludes that neem has a variety of bioactive compou
Apigenin: Exploring its neuroprotective potential in neurodegenerative disorders: Mechanisms and promising therapeutic applications
Authors: Bhratee Anjalee , Anand Piyush , Singh Shamsher
Published: February 2024

Neurodegenerative diseases pose significant challenges to global health-care systems, highlighting the urgent need for effective therapeutic strategies. Apigenin (API), a natural compound derived from various plant sources, has emerged as a potential treatment option due to its neuroprotective properties. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of API, focusing on its definition, natural sources, pharmacokinetics, and bioavailability, mechanisms of action, safety, and tolerability profile. API protects neurons in many ways, including its antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory properties, ability to change cellular signaling pathways, ability to stop proteins from misfolding and sticking together, and ability to improve mitochondrial function. In vitro studies have demonstrated that API attenuates oxidative stress, inhibits the formation of protein aggregates, and suppresses neuroinflammation. Animal models, such as transgenic mice, rat models, and non-human primates, have provided valuable insights into the potential therapeutic benefits of API, including improved cognitive function, mitigation of motor impairments, and preservation of neuronal integrity. API’s safety and tolerability profile appears favorable based on preclinical and clinical studies, with minimal reported adverse effects. However, further investigation is required to determine optimal dosing regimens and assess potential drug interactions. In addition, while current treatment options for neurodegenerative diseases primarily focus on symptom management, API holds promise as a disease-modifying agent.

Published: February 2024

A assistência em saúde pública é tarefa complexa e requer abordagem e intervenções baseadas em diferentes variáveis e em seus pontos de encontro. É neste contexto que a prática do conceito de interdisciplinaridade se mostra necessária. Uma forma de atuação que se baseia neste conceito é a interconsulta. O presente estudo visou revisar, principalmente nas bases de dados PubMed e SciELO, a literatura que aborda a interdisciplinaridade na área da saúde e a interconsulta psicológica, de forma a explicitar as contribuições de tais práticas para o atendimento integral do usuário do sistema de saúde, e também apontar as limitações que precisam ser superadas. Sabe-se que a interconsulta favorece a humanização do atendimento e enriquece a formação profissional do interconsultor. Nota-se a existência de um consenso sobre o conceito de interconsulta, porém sua prática ainda carece de investigações com adequado delineamento metodológico e que abordem os resultados das intervenções realizadas, principalmente na área de psicologia, em que poucas pesquisas são encontradas. A partir deste estudo, espera-se contribuir para a divulgação deste serviço e estimulação de novas pesquisas que ajudem a aprimorar, nortear e difundir o atendimento de interconsulta psicológica.

A Reprodução Assistida é um campo do conhecimento pertinente para pensar mudanças e progressos no qual os avanços da ciência e da tecnologia oferecem recursos inúmeros para o tratamento da infertilidade humana. Diante do novo que nos surpreende sempre, podemos citar mitos, escritos religiosos e acontecimentos na história da humanidade, que já tentavam dizer sobre o mistério e a busca da revelação do desconhecido, no campo indizível da origem do ser humano, em sua fertilidade e/ou infertilidade. Testemunhamos situações delicadas que demandam respostas éticas, para legislar questões que “escapam” do objetivável do discurso e avanço da ciência. Posição delicada: com a evolução do conhecimento e as técnicas disponíveis para os tratamentos em geral, precisamos considerar também o caso absolutamente singular “daquele sujeito e sua história”. Com a palavra, também, a sociedade.
