Palearctic naked-toed geckos are a group of gekkonid geckos that range from North Africa to northern India and western China, with their greatest diversity in Iran and Pakistan. Relationships among the constituent genera remain incompletely resolved and the monophyly of key genera remains unverified. Further, competing classifications are in current use and many species have been allocated to d...

the genus cyrtopodion is the most widely distributed of the four gekkonid genera of the angular-toed geckos that inhabit pakistan and the contiguous palearctic region (szczerbak & golubev 1996), from the indus valley to the eastern borders of the caspian sea. longitudinal rows of trihedral tubercles characteristically line the dorsum of these angular-toed geckos. they primarily inhabit arid...

the diploid number among gekkonid lizards ranges from 2n=16 to 2n=46. the majority of geckos' chromosomes are small which makes the study of their chromosomes very difficult. for this reason, karyotype of cyrtopodion caspium and some similar gecko are still not known. the close relatives of c. caspium have variation in the chromosomal number in their populations. so to find out possible variabi...

Most of the reports from India on the age at menarche have been based on recollected ages of commencement of the periods and the accuracy of these is doubtful. Examples of such ages vary from 13.42 years (Israel, 1959) based on replies from 2,227 women from different parts of India to 14.88 years (Shah, 1958) based on questionnaire forms completed by 2,391 Hindu girl entrants to Guj-rati Univer...

Methanolic extract of Elephantopus scaber leaves was investigated for its role in hair growth in experimental rats. The 2% and 5% solution of prepared formulation using methanolic extract was studied for hair growth on wistar rats for 30 days. Minoxidil (2% solution) was taken as a reference standard. The prepared hair oil formulation of methanolic extract significantly (p<0.01) potentiated the...
