background reversibility of advanced fibrosis after hcv-clearance is an important goal of therapy. objectives measuring liver stiffness (ls) by transient elastography (te) might be helpful in this setting. patients and methods we evaluated 104 patients with biopsy-proven chronic hepatitis c (chc) and sustained virological response (svr) after peg-interferon (ifn) plus ribavirin since at least 1...

The wine industry produces large amounts of grape pomace (GP), a waste that needs to be disposed properly. Bioactive compounds with high added value can recovered from GP as an interesting strategy reduce the environmental impact. Here, two different technologies were employed recover polyphenol GP: microwave hydrodiffusion and gravity (MHG) ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE). further purific...

CONTEXT Flat foot is one of the lower extremity deformities that might change kinetic variables of gait. Fatigue is one of the factors that can alter the vertical ground-reaction force (GRF). The effect of a fatiguing condition on vertical GRF has not been documented in individuals with flat feet. OBJECTIVE To examine the fatigue effect on vertical GRF in individuals with flat feet compared w...

One of the oldest forms of medical practice is the use of plants for the treatment and prevention of diseases that affect humans. We have studied the antimicrobial activity and synergism of Piper gaudichaudianum Kuntze with different antibiotics. The crude extract from the leaves of P. gaudichaudianum was submitted to chromatographic separation, resulting in five fractions. Fraction F3 containe...

In the present study five generations viz. P1, P2, F1, F2 and F3 of chickpea were taken for analysis non-allelic interaction considering yield contributing characters like as date first flower (DFF), number primary branches at (NPBFF), plant height (PHFF), pods per (NPd/P) seeds (NS/P). At Mather’s scaling test was done where scales C D found to be significant non-significant all traits, respec...

The identification of molecular markers linked to leaf curl virus (CLCuV) disease resistance in cotton has the potential to improve both the efficiency and the efficacy of selection in cotton breeding programs. Genetic analysis suggested that CLCuV resistance is controlled by a single dominant gene. In this study, an interspecific F2 population derived from a cross of Gossypium barbadense and G...

Recent reports suggest a lifetime suicide risk for schizophrenia patients of approximately 5%. This figure is significantly higher than the general population suicide risk consequently, detection of those at risk is clinically important. This study was undertaken to define the characteristics of suicide attempts by schizophrenia patients compared with attempts by patients with mood disorders. A...

Starch is a carbohydrate that can be used as binder in pharmaceutical preparations. Paracetamol has poor flowability and compactibility with its crystalline form, it necessary to make granules by wet granulation method starch binder. This study banana peel waste (Musa paradisiaca) source of starch. Three granule formulations (F1, F2, F3) were prepared using the concentrations 5% (F1), 8% (F2), ...

Background: Cowpea is a major pulse crop in India. Developing cowpea cultivars with high yield and sustainable protein content contributes to food nutritional security. Hybridization followed by careful selection of genotypes from the early segregating populations may produce final cultivar coupled content. Methods: The genetic material used present investigation were derived crosses three i.e....
