Authors: Pendke M. S. , Waskar D. P.
Published: April 2023

The Godawari-Purna sub basin is located between 76°36' to 77°59' E and 19°07' to 19°17' N with an area of 34413.87 ha falls in assured rainfall region. The basin boundary was updated using the updated drainage and terrain information from high resolution satellite data of LISS-IV using GIS tool. Based on the last 30 years rainfall records, the runoff potential was estimated using SCS curve number method. Marathwada region of Maharashtra state has always been a water deficit area which calls for immediate remedial measures to address the critical water resources situation in the region. The entire Godawari-Purna sub basin (GP sub basin) is hard rock terrain. It suffers from growing water scarcity, which is aggravated by frequent droughts. The various water balance components viz. soil moisture storage, ground water recharge and surface storage were estimated for the GP basin. Similarly, the input from the rainfall was also worked out. The various losses such as runoff, evaporation from water bodies were estimated and accordingly the water available in the basin was estimated. The estimated values of ground water recharge were considered for water balance analysis. The surface water storage in each sub basin was estimated considering the water storage area as per satellite image and thus the storage volume was estimated. Combining the soil moisture storage, surface water storage and ground water recharge, water availability was estimated for each sub basin. The surface runoff was estimated by water balance method considering the rainfall volume and losses in each sub basin. Water balance study reflected that sub-catchment No. I, IV, VI and VIII of GP sub basin are under total water deficit and require urgent attention for water management to meet out the water deficit

Published: April 2023

Crop residues, a byproduct of crop production that can be managed to maximize various input usage efficiencies, are a widely used practice to conserve agricultural waste. The amount of crop residues generated and burned in 2017-18 was 516 MT and 116 MT, respectively. In India, rice stands first in the overall crop burning which contributes 43% compared to 21, 19 and 5% for wheat, sugarcane, and oilseed, respectively. Burning crop residue is responsible for air pollution outbreaks, radiation imbalance in people, greenhouse gas emissions, and the loss of valuable soil nutrients. Crop residue mulch improved soil quality and crop yield by increasing infiltration of water into soil profile and lessening water runoff and soil erosion. Crop residue mulch improved soil quality in terms of organic carbon and biotic activity. Crop-residue retention promotes nutrient cycling, increases nutrient availability to crops, and increases SOM content.The excessive runoff and soil erosion, low soil fertility, low groundwater availability, erratic rainfall distribution and low inputs these are major contributing factors responsible for the low yields.

Published: April 2023

The present investigations were carried out to estimate the genetic components of variation for yield and yield attributing traits in sponge gourd. Understanding the nature of gene action could be helpful in predicting the effectiveness of selection in a population. A clear knowledge of the type of gene action, its magnitude and composition of genetic variance is of fundamental importance to a plant breeder. The eight parental lines of sponge guard with diallel crosses (without reciprocals) were conducted for yield and its related traits .The estimates components of variance of SCA were higher than GCA for all characters except days to first female flower, days to first picking, fruit length, indicating predominance of non-additive gene action for most of the characters under study. The estimated variances due to sca (s2g) were magnitudually high and greater than the values of gca variance (s2g) for all the character studied except days required for first female flower, days required for first male flower in kharif season, length of fruit, girth of fruit and length of pedicel which reveals that for all the 13 (thirteen) characters studied the magnitude of dominance (non-additive) gene action was greater than that of addictive gene action. The heritability in narrow sense observed for all the characters was worked out by comparing the estimated values of genetic variance with total phenotypic variance. Preponderance of dominant gene in the expression suggested that hybrid breeding can be used efficiently improve yield and yield contributing traits in sponge gourd.

Integrated Nutrient Management in Fruit Production
Authors: Vikalp  , Arjoo  , Sharma Sushil
Published: April 2023

When it comes to fruit cultivation, nutrient management is of the utmost importance if one wants to acquire fruit of a good grade. Inappropriate nutrient management and indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides are both detrimental to the health of plants and the environment, as well as to the human beings who consume them. Because of the indiscriminate use of inorganic agrochemicals, the qualitative characteristics of a variety of fruits have been adversely affected. This has led to a decline in quality, which has decreased customer choice and resulted in lower returns for the producers. Not only can an excessive supply of inorganic nutrient sources, such as fertilizers, have a negative impact on the quality of the fruit and its overall productivity, but it also depletes the nutrient reserves that are present in the soil. However, INM is a method that contributes to the preservation of the soil's health. Integrated nutrient management, also known as INM, refers to the practice of applying all possible sources of nutrients, both organic and inorganic, to crop production at the same time. As a result, the INM assists the plants in satisfying their nutritional requirements while also restoring the fertility

Published: April 2023

Little is known about the impact of salicylic acid in sorghum under salt stress. Sorghum genotype HJ 513 was used for the experiment, which was carried out as factorial in a completely randomized design. Plants were grown in screen houses under four salt levels (0, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0 dS m-1 NaCl) and three salicylic acid, SA (0, 25 and 50 ppm) levels with twelve different combinations. Sorghum leaves were harvested at bloom stage (80 DAS) and assayed for electrolytic leakage percentage (ELP) i.e. 93.81% in HJ 513, osmolytes content (Proline value increased from 59.75 to 86.56 (µg g-1 DW) in HJ 513 under 10 dS m-1 with respect to control, total soluble carbohydrate content also increased from control to 10 dS m-1 i.e. 0.21 to 0.42 (mg g-1 DW) in HJ 513, glycine betaine content increased from control to 10 dS m-1 i.e. 135.67 to 286.63 (µmole g-1 DW) in HJ 513 The specific activities of the superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase under salt stress (10 dS m-1) increased 69.12%, 255.29% and 92.65% in HJ 513 respectively. Compared with the plants treated with salt alone, added salicylic acid significantly decreased ELP and significantly enhanced osmolytes concentration and also the antioxidant enzymatic activity in salt-stressed leaves of that genotype. That SA effect was time-dependent and became stronger as the experiment continued. It could be concluded that higher activities of SOD, CAT and POX in salt-stressed leaves induced by SA addition may protect the plant tissues from membrane oxidative damage under salt stress, thus mitigating salt toxicity and improving the growth of sorghum plants. The results of the present experiment coincided with the conclusion that SA may be involved in metabolic or physiological changes in plants

The present investigation entitled “Heterosis studies in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) was undertaken to estimate the heterosis for seed yield and its components in sunflower. The 15 CMS lines and 5 restorer lines were crossed in line x tester model to produce 76 hybrids. The crosses were made at research area of Oilseed Section, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, CCS HAU, Hisar during the spring season of 2014. Hybrids and parents were evaluated under four different environments i.e. Summer 2014, last week of August (E1) and First week of Sept. (E2) and during spring 2015, i.e. first week of February (E3) and last week of February (E4). Data on five randomly selected plants from each genotype in each replication were recorded on different quantitative characters viz. plant height (cm), head diameter (cm), stem diameter (cm) days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, hundred seed weight (g), seed yield per plant (g), oil content (%), hull content (%), percent seed filling, germination (%), electrical conductivity (µScm1 g-1), viability (%), vigour index I, vigour index II, palmitic acid (%), stearic acid (%), oleic acid (%) and linoleic acid (%) in all the test environments. Hybrids CMS 207 A x HRHA 5-3, CMS 852 A x RHA 271, CMS 207 A x RHA 297, CMS 234 A x 6D-1 and CMS 207 A x 6D-1 were found better and superior for heterosis , seed yield and its contributing trait and also for oil content. The hybrids with good heterotic value could be directly used for heterosis breeding because of their dominant nature. The use of genotypes in hybridization from these results is likely to produce more heterotic combination in future.

Published: April 2023

Stunting is a major problem in Central Sulawesi Province, with Sigi District having the highest prevalence at 40.7%. Stunting is a condition where children under five years of age fail to thrive due to chronic malnutrition, resulting in stunted growth. This condition hinders human development and has a negative impact on the future. The study aimed to identify the factors related to post-disaster stunting in toddlers aged 25-59 months in the Biromaru Health Centre working area. The research design used a quantitative approach with a case-control design, with a sample size of 150 mothers who had babies aged 25-59 months. The results showed that the mother's education level was significantly associated with the incidence of stunting, with mothers who have a low level of education being 2.82 times more likely to have stunted children than mothers with a high level of education. Other factors, such as maternal height, family income, exclusive breastfeeding history, birth weight, gender, and access to health services, did not show a significant relationship with stunting. The study suggests that improving maternal education levels may help reduce the incidence of stunting in toddlers, highlighting the importance of education in preventing child malnutrition.

A search for primary evidence of Earth's ancient atmosphere and climate

Robert Rainbird, a research scientist working for the Geological Survey of Canada, a division of Natural Resources Canada, looks at the geological evolution of Earth’s ancient atmosphere and climate. What did Earth look like two and a half billion years ago? When did our atmosphere and oceans become oxygen-rich? Did oxygenation occur rapidly or via incremental oscillations over millions of years? These questions have been debated by scientists for decades because of their implications for the evolution of early life on Earth. Through their research, Dr Robert H. Rainbird and his team at the Geological Survey of Canada and Carleton University (Ottawa) seek to answer these questions by investigating rocks from an ancient sedimentary basin north of Lake Huron in Ontario.

El compromiso ocular es una forma extrapulmonar de tuberculosis. Puede comprometer cualquier componente del sistema visual. Las manifestaciones oculares pueden ser causadas por una infección activa que invade el ojo o por una reacción inmunológica de hipersensibilidad retardada. Las presentaciones clínicas más comunes son uveítis anterior crónica, coroiditis y esclero-queratitis. A pesar de la existencia de herramientas moleculares altamente sensibles, arribar al diagnóstico de formas poco frecuentes o no pensadas como la TB ocular en un niño sigue siendo un gran reto y se basa en la presentación clínica, evaluación sistémica y la respuesta terapéutica. El tratamiento implica el uso de antifímicos y, muchas veces, esteroides. El objetivo fue presentar una forma de tuberculosis endoftálmica, pulmonar miliar y meníngea, en el marco de la drogorresistencia.

Human exposure to elevated levels of environmental contaminants is an important concern of health toxicology. This study assessed the toxicity level of toxic metals including Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Copper (Cu), Lead (Pb) and Nickel (Ni) in samples of water, seafood (Clarias gariepinus, Oreochromis niloticus, Cottus gobio) and vegetable (Telfairia occidentalis) from the adjacent area of Elebele River, Nigeria, bioconcentration and toxic metal exposure posed to communities consuming these foodstuffs. The following indices: single-factor index and the comprehensive pollution index, metal pollution index, estimated daily and weekly intakes, hazard index and lifetime cancer risk were applied. Samples of water, seafood and vegetable were analysed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The results showed that the concentrations of metals except for Cd in water samples were higher than the permissible limits by international organisations. Results also revealed that the concentrations of metals in foodstuff samples were within limits. Furthermore, the values of estimated weekly intakes calculated were lower than the limits of provisional tolerable weekly intakes established by the Food and Agriculture Organization and World Health Organization. This suggests no health risks and is consistent with the HI results. However, As was a major contributor (96.9%) to health risks associated with the ingestion of water. Lifelong consumption of T. occidentalis might be hazardous in the study locality. The carcinogenic risk was > 1 × 10‒4 for As and Ni.  Therefore, to reduce the health risk and the extent of metal contamination, steps must be taken for the efficient removal of metals from the water body.

Authors: Dadile A. M. , Ibrahim Y. , Adam L. I. , Jajere I. A.
Published: April 2023

The study assessed the afforestation projects at the four different local government areas in the northern part of Yobe state, Nigeria. Information about the locations and sites of the plantation was obtained from the department of forestry, ministry of environment, Damaturu and zonal offices in the local government areas of the study (Bade, Karasuwa, Yusufari and Yunusari). Meanwhile, a structured questionnaire was designed in such a way that the respondent will provide formidable information about the afforestation projects in their respective areas. Afterward, four different plantation sites were identified using simple random sampling techniques and diameter at breast height and total height for five tree stands from each plantation site were measured and recorded. Afterward, the volume of the tree stands was estimated by using Huber’s equation. The results of the study reveals that there was a 95% level of awareness of the afforestation programmes and a total of nineteen (19) woodlots and twenty - one (21) shelterbelts respectively were assessed (Table 1 and 2). Meanwhile, the highest average tree volume in this study was found to be 8.07 m3, followed by 4.68 m3 obtained from Karasuwa and Yusufari local government areas, while the lowest trees volume was found to be 1.92 m3 at Yunusari local government area respectively (Table 4). It can be concluded that in all the local government areas requires serious attention and urgent need for reforestation and afforestation projects because, the majority of the peoples in the study area depend solely on firewood as their source of energy for cooking, heating and lightening and as such many afforestation projects have turned to a firewood fetching ground and there is a menace of desertification in the area and climate change as well. However, if care is not taken in the next few years to come, the majority of the established afforestation projects will become totally eradicated. So therefore, government, GGW, NGOs and individuals should intensify efforts towards revitalization and establishment of reforestation and afforestation projects in the regions.

Este estudio comparó la efectividad de la prueba de O'Sullivan y la prueba de Tolerancia de Glucosa (TTG) en la detección de diabetes gestacional (DG), una condición metabólica que se presenta durante el embarazo y puede tener efectos negativos en la salud de la madre y el bebé. La detección temprana de DG es crucial para prevenir complicaciones a largo plazo. Los resultados indican que el TTG es una herramienta diagnóstica más precisa y confiable que el Test de O'Sullivan, reduciendo la tasa de falsos positivos y negativos. El TTG se realiza entre las semanas 24 y 28 de embarazo, mide los niveles de glucosa en ayunas y después de una carga oral de 75 gramos de glucosa, permitiendo evaluar la tolerancia a la glucosa a lo largo del embarazo y diagnosticar casos de DG tempranamente. El tratamiento de DG incluye un plan de alimentación saludable, ejercicio moderado y, en casos necesarios, medicamentos hipoglucemiantes orales o insulina. Es importante que las mujeres con DG controlen regularmente sus niveles de glucemia y la presión arterial para evitar complicaciones. Después del parto, estas mujeres tienen un mayor riesgo de desarrollar diabetes tipo 2 en el futuro, por lo que deben continuar controlando su salud y haciéndose pruebas regulares para detectar diabetes. En conclusión, la prueba de TTG es más efectiva en la detección de DG en comparación con el Test de O'Sullivan, contribuyendo a la prevención de complicaciones en la madre y el bebé.

Las nuevas tendencias de cocina moderna en la gastronomía de Ecuador han ido fomentando en la cocina innovaciones de vanguardia, dando formas diferentes de elaboraciones, sin alterar la historia que trasmite la preparación y realzando el verdadero sabor, aroma, color, pero, con particulares texturas que logran una visualización llamativa y al paladar, un exquisito y magnífico sabor, en la cual se llega a trasmitir lo que en la actualidad se conoce como “alta cocina o cocina de vanguardia”. Es importante reconocer que el avance de la tecnología ha permitido que este nuevo tipo de técnicas se desarrollen y se trasmitan de continente a continente, sin olvidar la verdadera historia que cada país posee en la elaboración de la cultura gastronómica.
La terapia de reminiscencia como coadyuvante en el deterioro cognitivo del adulto mayor
Authors: Noboa Pullaguari Kevin David
Published: April 2023

Las terapias de reminiscencia y revisión de vida consisten en una serie de técnicas diseñadas para facilitar que las personas (principalmente adultos mayores) recuerden experiencias de vida para reflexionar sobre ellas, y reinterpretarlas de forma más significativa. Estas terapias se caracterizan por acceder y resumir recuerdos o experiencias pasadas, evaluar los conflictos negativos experimentados y no resueltos para su revisión y resolución. Los resultados demuestran que las terapias de reminiscencia generan un impacto positivo en cuanto al mejoramiento de la cognición de los adultos mayores, disminuyendo el avance progresivo del deterioro cognitivo. Estas técnicas han sido usadas como terapia de intervención en adultos mayores para disminuir la sintomatología depresiva y mejorar el bienestar. Este artículo tiene como objetivo determinar la eficacia de las terapias de reminiscencia en el deterioro cognitivo del adulto mayor. En cuanto a la metodología se recopilaron estudios de datos indexados de los últimos 5 años con la mejor evidencia posible, sobre la eficacia de la terapia de reminiscencia en la cognición del adulto mayor. Se desarrolló una revisión sistemática utilizando el Framework SALSA, el mismo que considera cuatro componentes en una revisión sistemática: búsqueda, evaluación, síntesis, y análisis. En este estudio se pudo determinar que la terapia de reminiscencia obtuvo resultados positivos en las funciones cognitivas del adulto mayor, retardando su progresión y mejorando algunos subconjuntos de la calidad de vida (emocional, salud general y funcionamiento social).

Most crops are affected by various factors, plastic mulch emerges as an alternative, causing a positive impact on the temperature in the root zone, microbial life and the physical properties of the soil associated with the improvement of crop yield. The objective of the research was to evaluate the yield of the soybean crop (Glycine max L.) under plastic mulch conditions. Geotemperature parameters, net heat flow from the soil and morphological variables were analyzed. The completely randomized design was used, the study factor was plastic mulch of different colors: black (T1), red (T2), blue (T3), and green (T4) and the control (T0, bare ground). The results showed that the plastic mulch influences the soil temperature up to 6 °C with respect to the bare soil (T4) and the net heat flux, the black and green colors are relevant, as well as the morphological variables, being the treatments T3 and T4, the ones that had the best results compared to bare soil, improving crop yield up to 2 t ha-1. Blue and green plastic mulch is a viable option to improve soybean productivity and economic performance.

The scarce information that is counted and its importance in hydrological studies helps us to understand, simulate, and predict the events associated with the behavior of water. I think it is necessary to check the gridded data PISCOpm V.2.1 monthly rainfall with the observations in our Tumbes basin. For this, a comparative study was carried out between the observed and estimated values, concerning the weather station, elevation, seasonality of the year, and climatic region. Indicators such as the Coefficient of Determination(R2), Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency Index (NS), and Percentage Statistical Bias (PBIAS%) were considered. At the monthly level, good correlation results were obtained, with values greater than 0,61, in the Nash - Sutcliffe efficiency index values greater than 0,60 and a minimum variation in the Percentage Statistical Bias. Regarding the elevation of the basin, data were obtained with a minimum adjustment in all the indicators. For the seasonal arrangement, summer presents the best average fit, followed by fall and spring. Winter presents a very good adjustment for 4 out of 9. Finally, of the 3 climatic regions, the D(i)A' region presents the best adjustment in the 3 indicators. It was possible to verify the adjustment of the data, having different results according to the evaluated criterion. This supports the use of observed data and its usefulness for studies in the Tumbes basin such as floods, droughts, hydrological and hydraulic modeling, completion of missing data, etc. Based on the results, studies of water availability, analysis of extreme events, etc. can be carried out.

The insect pest, Prodiplosis longifila Gagné (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), causes significant damage and losses in tomato crops in Manabí, Ecuador. The objective of this study was to characterize the current situation in tomato-growing areas of this province, in the cantons of Tosagua, Portoviejo, Rocafuerte, Bolivar, Sucre, Santa Ana, Jipijapa and Junin. A survey was applied to 35 producers, 15 technicians and 10 women workers, on production systems, problems and management of P. longifila, environmental and socioeconomic incidences. The analysis was deductive and inductive, and correlation, principal component analysis and hierarchical conglomerate analysis were also carried out. 100% of the producers indicated that P. longifila is the main pest, its control depends on agrochemicals and the climate has an impact on the problems it causes. Eighty-seven percent of the technicians reported severe damage to flowering and fruiting; 66% indicated that control of the pest cost up to 45% of the total cost of production. 14% abandoned the crop because of high infestation. 100% of the women did tie-up work, and 80% did pruning and harvesting. It is concluded that the main pest of tomato is P. longifila, reaching its maximum incidence and severity in flowering and fruiting and its control is exclusively with agrochemicals.

Dalam penyelenggaraan Pilkada tidak menutup kemungkinan akan menimbulkan permasalahan hukum, baik dalam bidang hukum pidana dan/atau hukum administrasi. Salah satu bentuk permasalahan hukum yang sering terjadi dalam Pilkada yaitu sengketa hasil Pilkada, dan pertanyaan tentang lembaga mana yang memiliki kewenangan untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan tersebut, terus manjadi bahan diskusi yang sampai saat ini belum mendapatkan konklusi yang final. Pada dasarnya, dalam beberapa aturan hukum telah menyebutkan bahwa perihal terjadi sengketa hasil Pilkada maka akan diselesaikan oleh suatu Badan Peradilan Khusus, tetapi notabene sampai saat ini Badan Peradilan Khusus yang dimaksud belum juga dibentuk.Banyaknya lembaga yang terlibat setidaknya akan menjadi salah satu ruang tidak efektifnya proses penyelesaian sengketa. pada saat yang sama, juga akan menyebabkan bertambah panjangnya birokrasi penyelesaian sengketa pemilu dan pilkada. Oleh karena itu, sekalipun misalnya sudah ada mandat pembentukan peradilan khusus untuk penyelesaian sengketa hasil pilkada, namun perkembangan yang terjadi sesungguhnya masih membuka ruang untuk memikirkan sejumlah alternatif tentang desain peradilan yang berwenang menyelesaikan tidak hanya sengketa hasil pilkada, melainkan juga menyelesaikan sengketa-sengketa yang muncul dalam penyelenggaraan pemilu dan pilkada. Dalam arti, desain penyelesaian sengketa dan sengketa hasil pemilu dan pilkada harus didesain secara lebih sederhana dan efektif sebagai Lembaga negara independent.
Transformasi Bawaslu sebagai Penegak Keadilan Pemilu

Published: April 2023

Menjadikan Bawaslu sebagai Badan Peradilan khusus pemilu merupakan alternatif ideal untuk memaksimalkan tugas-tugas Bawaslu dalam mewujudkan demokrasi yang berintegritas. Dengan desain kelembagaan yang ada saat ini, tidaklah sulit untuk menjadikan Bawaslu sebagai Badan Peradilan khusus pemilu, sebab struktur kelembagaan Bawaslu saat ini telah terbentuk mulai dari tingkat pusat sampai dengan tingkat Kabupaten/Kota. Dari sisi kewenangan, embrio fungsi yudikatif sebenarnya telah ada dalam tubuh kelembagaan Bawaslu. Hal ini dapat dilihat dalam ketentuan Pasal 94 ayat (2) dan ayat (3) Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 tentang Pemilihan Umum, dimana Bawaslu diberi kewenangan untuk memeriksa dan mengadili dugaan pelanggaran administrasi pemilu dan perkara sengketa proses pemilu. Dengan dasar tersebut di atas, Bawaslu dapat memainkan peran sebagai lembaga yang murni menyelesaikan dugaan pelanggaran dan sengketa proses pemilu, hanya saja dalam proses transformasi sebagai badan peradilan khusus pemilu ini, integritas keanggotaan Bawaslu yang memainkan peran sebagai majelis pemeriksa/hakim harus benar-benar berpegang teguh pada nilai-nilai keadilan. Metode penelitian yag digunakan yakni Yuridis Normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan (statute approach). Hasil yang didapatkan yakni pembentukan Badan Peradilan Khusus seharusnya tidak bersifat quasi peradilan, tetapi melaksanakan secara utuh fungsi pengadilan yang memeriksa, mengadili, dan memutus perkara Pilkada. Hal ini tidak lain karena memperkuat kedudukan Badan Peradilan Khusus itu sendiri, yakni perihal independensi. Seperti yang telah dipahami bahwa kekuasaan yudikatif harus mandiri dan bebes interfensi dari pihak manapun, karena kekuasaan yudikatif adalah kekuasaan yang menjalankan fungsi pengadil bagi pelanggar perundang-undangan. Dengan kata lain, jika independensi telah terciderai maka tidak ada lagi keadilan bagi justitiable (pencari keadilan).

Background: This study aimed to investigate the effect of kefir consumption, a popular traditional probiotic product, on the immune response and recovery of COVID-19 patients. Methods: In a double-blind, randomized controlled trial, 100 patients with COVID-19 were enrolled in two equal groups (receiving 250 cc of milk containing kefir granules (2 - 10%) twice daily for two weeks and a placebo group). Inflammatory indices, hematological factors, and clinical outcomes such as fever, pain, gastrointestinal symptoms, and dyspnea were assessed at the beginning and end of the study using a checklist prepared by the research team. Changes in parameters before and after the intervention were calculated. Results: We found that PO2 saturation, WBC, and neutrophil significantly increased in the placebo group, but Hb, lymphocyte, and platelet increased in the kefir-treated group. Also, CRP and ESR decreased in the kefir-treated group. The groups did not significantly differ in pulse rate, respiratory rate, and axillary temperature. There were no significant differences between the groups in signs and symptoms of the disease, except for the dry cough. Conclusions: Kefir seems to improve inflammatory factors slightly but does not significantly improve the disease symptoms.
