Published: July 2023

The present intervention study endeavors to cast a glance at the treatment of social
anxiety disorder in a pregnant woman through cognitive behavior therapy. The case
study focuses on the successful treatment of a 25-year-old pregnant woman who was
experiencing severe anxiety triggered by social situations and traveling. The therapy
sessions effectively addressed and managed her anxiety, taking into consideration the
unique circumstances of her pregnancy. The case study highlights the significance of
individualized interventions and evidence-based approaches in effectively treating
anxiety disorders in pregnant individuals. The symptoms were significantly affecting
her daily life. The study aimed to assess the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy
(CBT) for individuals with social anxiety disorder during pregnancy and involved 12
sessions of therapy. Therapeutic techniques used for social anxiety disorder include
psychoeducation, systematic desensitization, exposure and response prevention, and
cognitive restructuring. At the end of the therapy, the patient’s symptoms were
significantly reduced, and relapse prevention tactics were taught to help her manage
herself in the future. The study suggests that CBT can effectively treat social anxiety
disorder during pregnancy.

Published: July 2023

Freshwater quality is deteriorating as a result of ongoing threats from both anthropogenic and natural sources, resulting in an overall loss of ecological integrity. To provide an easily-understandable summary of complex water quality data, water quality indices (WQIs) -the Canadian water quality index (CWQI 1.0) model -was used for two distinct purposes, to assess the portability of the water and its suitability for the protection of aquatic life. The Canadian Council of Ministers Environment's water quality index (CCME WQI) was calculated by combining three variables: scope (F1), frequency (F2), and amplitude (F3), to produce a single value between 0 (worst) and 100 (best) representing the water quality. Predominantly impacted by the F3, which resulted in a WQI score of 32. Ede Onyima lake was ranked “poor” indicating that it is unfit for human consumption and aquatic life protection. The lake was impaired by high turbidity (86 NTU), trace metals such as Fe (20.73 mg/L), Mg (8.67 mg/L), and Mn (5.92 mg/L) loads. Their remobilization during turbulent flow portends a harmful effect on the Ede Onyima's water quality, indicating the critical need for a cohesive lake watershed management system to sustain conservation purposes of the lake and sustenance lake-dependent livelihoods.
AGE AND GROWTH OF Papyrocranus afer (GUNTHER 1868), AN EMERGING ORNAMENTAL FISH IN NIGERIA
Authors: FEMI OLUWALE 
Published: July 2023

Papyrocranus afer are threatened by increasing collection from the wild for aquaria, especially the juveniles. Age, growth and growth derived parameters of P. afer Lagoon based on analysis Length Frequency Distribution (LFD) and interpretation of annual growth marks hard structures (namely scales, otoliths, opercula and cleithra). In total, 1, 154 individuals of P. afer were sampled monthly during Jan. 2010 to Dec. 2011 from Lekki Lagoon. The mean lengths-at-ages from LFD were 13.45 cm (Age 0+) 34.45 cm (Age 1+), 49.50 cm (Age 2+) and 61cm (Age 3+). The von bertalanffy growth function was used to model the observed length-at-age data: Lt = 77.6 (1 – e-0.33(t +0.46)). Length at first maturity (Lm) was 41.1cm while length at optimum yield (Lopt) was 49.5cm. Preponderance of immature fishes (38 cm) in the catch suggests growth overfishing. Interpretable annual growth marks on hard parts showed ages 1, 2 and 3 years; the mean lengths at these ages were 33.1, 44.6 and 58.4cm (cleithra), 29.1, 40.0 and 60.4 (scale) and 29.1, 40.0 and 60.4 (operculum). No interpretable growth marks on otoliths. Growth overfishing underline vulnerability of Papyrocranus afer to over-exploitation, hence the need for its conservation in Lekki Lagoon.

Authors: BASHBOOSH NAWRAS NOORI 
Published: July 2023

The Aim: The goal of this study was to see if curcumin and vitamin C might protect male rats' blood from oxidative stress caused by naproxen using hematological criteria and antioxidant measures.
Study Design: The rats were aged 2.5-3 months and contemplated (200-250) gm. The purpose of this study was to see if Cur and Vitamin C might protect male rats against oxidative damage caused by NP, as well as hematological.
Place and Duration of Study: From April to October 2019, the experiment was conducted out on 48 male rats weighing between (200-250) gm and aged 2.5-3 months at the animal house of the faculty of science/university of Kufa.
Methodology: The 48 male Wister albino rats were separated into six groups at random; Group (1) NP was administered orally to rats at a dose of 40 mg/kg (as positive control). Group (2) cur at a dose of 150 mg/kg was given orally to the rats as a treatment. Group (3) During a 14-day period, rats were given 150 mg/kg of vitamin C by oral administration. Group (4) cur (150 mg/kg) and Vitamin C (150 mg/kg) were given orally to the rats as a treatment. Group (5) The oral administration of NP (40 mg/kg) plus Cur (150 mg/kg) plus Vit C (150 mg/kg) was performed on rats. Group (6) normal saline solution was given to the rats orally during the experiment (as negative control).
Results: Finishing the experiments, the findings displayed a considerable decrease (p<0.05) in the average of body weight, hemoglobin concentration (HB) and haematocrit ( HCT) while considerable increase (p<0.05) in the white blood cells(WBC) counts in the animals treated with NP compared to the control and other treated groups , while the results offered considerable increase (p <0.05) in the average of body contemplate , HB, HCT and a considerable decrease (p<0.05) in WBC rate in the animals treated with Cur, VitC, Cur+Vit C, Cur +Vit C+ Np compared the control group .
Conclusion: In conclusion, whereas naproxen has a harmful impact on the body by increasing oxidative stress, curcumin and vitamin C operate as powerful antioxidant supplements that reduce malonal di aldehyde (MDA) and boost overall antioxidant capacity by increasing superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the body.
FIRST DESCRIPTION ON MOLECULAR CHARACTERISATION OF HEMIURID TREMATODE Lecithocladium excisum FROM BLOCH,1795: Apolectus niger (PISCES: CARANGIDAE:) USING 18S RIBOSOMAL DNA MARKER
Authors: SINGH RATNESH KUMAR , SAXENA A. M. 
Published: July 2023

A total of 55 specimens of Bloch: Apolectus niger (Pisces: Carangidae) were obtained during the current inquiry from the sea beach of Puri, Orissa, India. It is a commercially significant marine fish, since it is a highly valued source of nutrition for human consumption. One type of the digenetic trematodes was collected from the gut of the affected fish, which belong to the genus, Lecithocladium, of the family Hemiuridae. Partial nucleotide sequences of the 18S ribosomal gene were acquired from this trematode species and deposited in the GenBank. Molecular analysis of the parasites using 18s small subunit rDNA was undertaken to evaluate their phylogenetic position with respect to previously known species in GenBank, which strikingly confirmed their molecular phylogeny revealed here. The hemiurid species from the genus, Lecithocladium are found to be L. excisum. A comparison of 18S rDNA sequences indicated that they exhibited 98.0 percent sequence similarity with Dinurus longisinus.

Published: July 2023

Pesticides are not only dangerous to the environment, but also hazardous to a person's health. Studies on pesticides have clearly established their link to cancer, Alzheimer's Disease, ADHD, birth defects and many more. Rogor is one of the organophosphates extensively used in agricultural practice. It is highly soluble in water for which it can easily enter into the nearby water sources and affect aquatic organisms. In the present study we have planned to observe the effects of rogor in some biochemical parameters in freshwater cat fish Clarias magur. Based on the LC50, we used two sub-lethal concentrations of Rogor - 1/5th (i.e; 13 mg/L) and 1/10th (i.e; 6.5mg/L) in our experiment. After 7 consecutive days of treatment, we have observed a dose dependent decrease in protein, glycogen and lipid content in both liver and muscle of the treated fishes. The amount of protein, glycogen and lipid was decreases with the increasing concentration of the rogor and the results were significant at 0.1 (P<0.1). The amount of blood glucose and total blood cholesterol was also decreases with increasing concentration of rogor.

Published: July 2023

The main sources of air-breathing and attractive fish species in the Brahmaputra basin are the wetland or the floodplain lakes. A significant number of riverine species are transported in the wetland areas by the flood impulse of the Brahmaputra and its tributaries. Various types of ornamental fish can be found in the marshes of Assam. There are numerous wetlands nearby Brahmaputra River in the Nimati Ghat of the Jorhat district of Assam. Many riverine species use wetlands as breeding and feeding areas. Unfortunately, the fish population in wetland areas is declining as a result of habitat destruction. The present communication deals with the ornamental fish diversity in some wetlands nearby Nimati, Jorhat. The study was conducted in three important wetlands of Nimati, Jorhat District namely Borsola, Sarala and Gohain beel during monsoon season. A total of 56 ornamental fish species from different genus has been recorded from the wetlands. The fish found in these wetlands are a source of livelihood to the local population. Some fish are utilized for therapeutic purposes as well.

A Case of Hepatic Cysticercosis in Wistar Albino Rats: An Unintended Finding from an Animal House
Authors: Manyam Ravikanth , Kartheek Gandikota , Sathya Kella Bhargavi 
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Rats are the most commonly used animals in biomedical research as they are mild-tempered and docile, making them easy to handle. They breed earlier, produce more offsprings and share many processes with humans and are appropriate for use to answer many research questions. Scientists have specifically bred many strains or lines of rats for research, the most important being the albino Wistar rat. Despite their prolific uses, they have some disadvantages like the spread of diseases.
Methodology: Wistar albino rats were used in a study at an animal facility by the pharmacology and oral pathology departments to examine the effects of a herbal cardioprotective medicine on rat liver, kidney, and heart function. Also, the Oral cavities were used to observe various stages of tooth development. After the study, the rats were CO2 inhalation-killed in the lab, and their hearts, livers, and kidneys were dissected for examination using a scalpel, and Boyd Parker blades No.3.
Results: On gross examination, Few animals had several cysts of varied sizes that were macroscopically evident but unwelcome. As a result, all samples were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin overnight. The specimens underwent additional processing, including paraffin wax embedding, microtome sectioning, and haematoxylin and eosin staining. Under a light microscope, the slides were examined for histological alterations.
Analysis: Liver had multiple apparent solitary and multicystic regions, ranging from 1 to 2.5 mm, upon gross examination. On the right lobe, more of these patches with yellowish colour were seen. The cyst's cestode origin was established by histopathological analysis thanks to an exterior acellular eosinophilic cuticular layer, an underlying subtentacular layer, and outer hooks and suckers containing scolex.
Discussion: The larval stage of Taenia solium, which is frequently found in developing nations, is the infection that results in cysticercosis. Pigs serve as its intermediate hosts whereas humans are its only naturally occurring definitive host. Man may develop into an intermediate host after ingesting adult tapeworm eggs. A condition known as Cysticercosis was the result of this.
Conclusions: Our findings imply that using rats home to these larvae can lead to inaccurate results in animal research, particularly those that evaluate liver function. They change how the liver functions, producing unreliable results. To properly assess the results of their investigations, the researchers must be aware of the asymptomatic unprompted lesions.
