Authors: Borpuzari P. , Das M.R. , Rahman A.
Published: June 2022

Muga silkworm, Antheraea assamensis Helfer (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) is a multi-voltine polyphagousinsect which produces golden yellow muga silk. Muga silkworm feeds on leaves of many tree plant speciesbut primarily the leaves of Persea bombycinaKost. (Som) and Litseamonopetala Roxb. (Soalu). The farmersrear the silkworm mainly in two seasons for commercial purposes although the silkworm can be reared sixtimes (crops) in a year. Productivity of silkworm rearing is dependent on cocoons and yarn characteristicswhich are affected by the type of food plants at the time of rearing. In this study, an attempt was made toevaluate the economic characters of cocoons and yarn of muga silkworm reared in different combination ofprimary food plants in different seasons. Two primary food plants P. bombycina and L. monopetala wereselected in four combinations (T1 âT4) for rearing in two commercial crop seasons namely Kotia (V1), Jethua(V2) and two seed crop i.e. Bhodia (V3) and Chotua (V4). Cocoon weight and pupal weight were higher inthe cocoons harvested from the silkworm reared in L. monopetala only and mainly in Kotia (October-November) seasons followed by Jethua (April-May), Bhodia (August-September) and Chotua (February-March)seasons. Shell weight, shell ratio, filament weight, filament length and non-breakable filament length (NBFL)were higher in the silkworms reared in P. bombycina (T1) irrespective of seasons followed by treatmentcombination T4 (L. monopetala up to 3rd instar then P. bombycina). Benefit cost ratio (BCR) was higher in T1combination during Kotia (10.61:1) seasons followed by Jethua, Bhodia and Chotua crop seasons. As such, P.bombycina is the preferred food plant for commercial rearing of muga silkworm, however the silkworm canbe reared in L. monopetala up to 3rd instar and thereafter in P. bombycina till maturation for higher productivityin terms of cocoon and yarn characteristics.

Published: June 2022

Across the world, the various water bodies are being exposed to different forms of environmental degradationand deterioration caused due to population explosion, urbanization and development in the industrialsector. Another factor affecting the quality of water is the aggregations of producers of the water ecosystemi.e., the phytoplankton, macro algae and occasionally colourless heterotrophic protists which can discolourthe water giving rise to foam. Due to this, there is decrease in Dissolved Oxygen (DO) level which ultimatelyaffects the ecological balance of the water and eventually leads to eutrophication in water bodies. Thepresent paper deals with water quality of Ameenpur Lake, Hyderabad, Sangareddy, Telangana, India, thefirst urban lake to be declared as a Biodiversity Heritage Site. The water quality assessment is made throughDissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD).

Authors: Sahoo Kumuda Bandhu , Jain Suraj Kumar , Nath Laba Kumar
Published: June 2022

Background: Vertical femur neck fractures are prone to nonunion due to shear forces. This mechanical component that causes nonunion is corrected with intertrochanteric valgus osteotomy. Osteotomy has historically been reserved for fractures that have been neglected for more than three weeks or for nonunion following screw fixation failure. In the primary therapy of a fracture neck of the femur, valgus repositioning osteotomy is not a conventional method. In this study, we assess this management strategy as an alternate treatment for specific conditions. Patients and Methods: This study comprised 12 adult patients with recent vertical femoral neck fractures. The age ranged from 20 to 48 years old. Ten guys and two ladies were present. There were seven mid-cervical fractures and five subcapital fractures. Vertical fractures were treated with valgus osteotomy (angle more than 50 degrees). Due to renal insufficiency, three individuals developed osteoporotic fractures. The intertrochanteric osteotomy was performed to transform shear pressures into compression forces with the goal of reducing the fracture angle to 25 degrees. The average follow-up time was 45 months. Results: The average postoperative angle was 28 degrees.

Value of Human Life in the Light of Suicide Tendencies among Students in Nigerian Tertiary Institutions: Implications for Education
Authors: Ekeh Greg
Published: June 2022

This paper examined the value of human life in the light of suicide tendencies among students in tertiary institutions in Nigeria. Being an act of taking or terminating one’s own life, suicide remains an enigma to all pro-life humans. In the distant past, cases of suicide were not so ubiquitous in Nigeria. Its occurrence was very rare; and where it happened, it was seen as an abomination of a high order, since life was considered sacred by the people, and which no human has the right to terminate. In those days of yore, suicide was alien to the people of Nigeria and their culture. Of recent, however, suicide has become a major leading cause of mortality among students in Nigerian tertiary institutions. Inherent difficulty in predicting and ascertaining its warning signs has made accurate and specific prediction of the occurrence of suicide most elusive. Over and above this, suicide is based on personal conviction of the individual that this is the best solution to his/her problem. On that note, the effort to prevent suicide should not focus more on predictions and signs, but on certain values and implications that would convince the individual (and the society) to jettison the idea of suicide as the best solution to a perceived problem. One of such values is human life, which has some implications for education. In this direction, the paper adopted a critical analysis of concepts and literature review to explore some risk factors for suicide, its implications for education and possible solutions to suicide tendencies amongst students, especially in the tertiary institutions in Nigeria. It was discovered that suicide tendencies among tertiary institution students in Nigeria is largely due to little knowledge of the value of human life and its implications. It was therefore recommended, among others, that premium emphasis be placed on the value of human life as sacred, both in the family and formal education settings

INTRODUCTION : Le cancer de l’œsophage est de pronostic sombre. Pendant longtemps, la chirurgie était le traitement de référence des formes localisées de cancer de l’œsophage. Depuis l’essai de Herskovic, la radiothérapie associée à la chimiothérapie à base de platine est devenue le standard en traitement néoadjuvant ou exclusif pour les cancers de l’œsophage. Nous rapportons les expériences des deux centres publics de radiothérapie de Dakar en nous focalisant sur les problèmes liés au suivi des formes localisées de cancers de l’œsophage traités. MATERIELS ET METHODES : Tous les patients traités par radiothérapie dans les services de Radiothérapie des Hôpitaux Aristide le Dantec et Dalal Jamm de 2018 à 2021 pour un cancer de l’œsophage localisé et histologiquement prouvé ont été inclus. De façon rétrospective, nous avons appelé toutes les familles pour avoir des nouvelles sur les conditions de suivi et de décès des patients. RESULTATS : De 2018 à 2021, 152 patients ont été traités pour un cancer localisé de l’œsophage. L’âge médian était de 48 ans (18 – 68) avec une majorité d’hommes (55,9%). Les facteurs de risque classique que sont l’alcool et le tabac étaient faiblement retrouvés, 4,6 et 11,2% respectivement. L’état général OMS 3 était plus retrouvé (58,5%). Le carcinome épidermoïde était le type histologique retrouvé avec une bonne différenciation cellulaire (57,2%). Globalement, les patients étaient classés T3 dans 52,6% des cas. 82 (54%) des patients étaient classés N1. Le bilan d’extension ne trouvait pas de maladie à distance. La chimiothérapie néoadjuvante était réalisée chez 85 (55,9%) patients, la chimiothérapie concomitante chez 131 (86,2%) des patients. Tous les patients ont eu une radiothérapie à la dose médiane de 47 Gy (30 – 50) avec un fractionnement de deux Gy (1,8 à deux). Après un suivi médian de 21,23 mois, une réponse clinique complète était notée chez 91 (59,8%) patients et 13 patients ont eu réponse histologique complète à la suite de biopsie et d’examen anatomopathologique demandé par leurs médecins référents. Sept patients sont décédés au cours du traitement pour une altération de l’état général. Après les traitements, 62 (40,7%) patients sont décédés. L’altération de l’état général suite à une gastrostomie était la cause principale de décès (66,1%) rapportées par les familles. Vingt-sept (17,7%) patients sont considérés comme étant perdus de vus après plusieurs appels téléphoniques. CONCLUSION : Le pronostic du cancer de l’œsophage au Sénégal est effroyable. Ce travail montre qu’il faut davantage s’organiser dans le circuit patient et surtout le suivi.
