This article presents the development of a multiresidue method for the estimation of 30 insecticides, 15 organochlorine insecticides and 6 organophosphorus insecticides, 9 synthetic pyrethriods and 2 herbicides and their quantification in vegetables. The monitoring study indicates that though all the vegetable samples were contaminated with pesticides, only 31% of the samples contained pesticid...

The existing body of evidence suggests that cinacalcet is an effective drug for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) control in patients undergoing maintenance dialysis (CKD-5D) [1–10]. Indeed, available evidence suggests that by modulating the parathyroid calcium-sensing receptor affinity to serum calcium, cinacalcet lowers by 40–50% (250–350 pg/mL) serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) (Table 1). A...

in order to evaluate the effect of using zinc granulated phosphorous biofertilizer on yield and yield components of white bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.), a field experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications was performed. experimental treatment were included of using phosphate and triple super phosphorous chemical fertilizer at five levels (without using of chemi...

The response of adult females of the mosquito Culex pipiens molestus to six insecticides was evaluated. Adults were collected from two locations in the Amman area from May to October 1983. The F1 generation was exposed to paper-impregnated insecticides using WHO test kits. At both locations, the most toxic insecticides were permethrin, propoxur and ferpropathrin. Malathion, dieldrin and DDT wer...

Insect pests are responsible for human suffering and financial losses worldwide. New and environmentally safe insecticides are urgently needed to cope with these serious problems. Resistance to current insecticides has resulted in a resurgence of insect pests, and growing concerns about insecticide toxicity to humans discourage the use of insecticides for pest control. The small market for inse...

Seven insecticides, viz. Megamos 20SL, Actara 25WG, Polo 500SC, Sitara 25WP, Nighaban 20EC, Thiodan 35EC and Confidor 200SL were evaluated at their field recommended doses for their efficacy against whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Genn.) on cotton, at the farmer’s field in Dera Ghazi Khan during 2007. The insecticides were applied at ETL’s of whitefly. All the test insecticides caused significant mort...

habrobracon hebetor say (hymenoptera: braconidae) as an ectoparasitoid of larval stage of lepidopterous pests is widely used in biological control programs. in the present research, the effect of field recommended doses of imidacloprid, indoxacarb and deltamethrin were studied on life table parameters of h. hebetor in pupal stage treatment. one hundred, two-day-old pupae were treated with 1 mic...

As with other insects, resistance to insecticides has become a limiting factor in the use of insecticides to control mosquitoes. Mosquito control depended on the use of insecticides for a long time (initially organochlorines, followed by organophosphates, carbamates and pyrethroids). This study aimed to determine the susceptibility of Anopheles arabiensis adult to the public health and agricult...

pruritus is a common and bothersome problem among uremic patients which negatively affects life quality and prognosis of the patient. various factors are known to be involved in the development of pruritus. the aim of this study was to assess the frequency and the factors which may have relationship with uremic pruritus, especially bone mineral metabolism indicators. current cross-sectional stu...
