Studies cite missed opportunities for immunization (MOI) as a contributor to under-vaccination. The present prospective survey aimed at determining the magnitude of MOI, its contribution to under-vaccination, and identifying risk factors for MOI. Mothers of 1384 indoor patients £6 years were interviewed. There were 266 (19.2%) children with MOI, accounting for 79.6% of under-vaccination and 93%...

Growth and development of silk worm Bombyx mori L. and cocoon crop are greatly influenced by yield and nutritional quality of mulberry leaf used as feed. The nutritional status of different mulberry varieties is ascertained by its biochemical constituents. Mulberry is rich sources of protein, carbohydrate, carotenoids, lipids, ascorbic acid, anthocyanins etc Hence, five mulberry varieties viz.,...

Moringa oleifera (MOI) is a tree currently used in traditional medicine in tropical Africa, America, and Asia for therapeutic applications in several disorders including arterial hypertension. We previously described a cardiac protective role of a treatment with MOI seeds in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Here, we investigated the effects of this treatment on oxidative and nitrosative v...

objective: monitoring of influenza virus shedding and optimization of multiplicities of infection (moi) is important in the investigation of a virus one step growth cycle and for obtaining a high yield of virus in vaccine development and conventional basic diagnostic methods. however, eluted infectious viruses may still be present immediately after virus inoculation and when cells are washed fo...

Silkworm (Bombyx mori) has been reported to exhibit diverse health benefits. A comparative study was conducted evaluate the physicochemical (colour, water activity, pH, solubility, proximate, mineral, amino acid, and fatty acid composition) microbiological qualities of Bombyx mori silkworm powder produced from two developmental stages (larvae pupae). pupae (SPP) had significantly higher (p<0...

The present study deals with the oral supplementation with (50, 100 and 150 ?g/ml) synergetic effect of potassium and magnesium chloride on the fat body glycogen, protein, total lipids and haemolymph trehalose, protein of fifth instar larvae of Bombyx mori L (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae). The observed parameters significantly increased in all the treated groups when compared with those of the corre...

Analysis of previously reported [((Ph2PPr)PDI)MoI][I] by cyclic voltammetry revealed a reversible wave at -1.20 V vs. Fc(+/0), corresponding to the Mo(ii)/Mo(i) redox couple. Reduction of [((Ph2PPr)PDI)MoI][I] using stoichiometric K/naphthalene resulted in ligand deprotonation rather than reduction to yield a Mo(ii) monoiodide complex featuring a Mo-C bond to the α-position of one imine substit...
