Teratogenic Effects of Potassium bromate On Drosophila melanogaster
Get PDFIn recent years, there has been growing concern about the toxic potential of substances consumed by humans. One such substance that has attracted attention is potassium bromate (KBrO3) used as a food additive, water disinfectant, and in pharmaceutical industries, has been extensively studied due to its detrimental impact on human health. It could potentially cause serious teratogenic effects on embryonic development. Certain pharmacological and physiological characteristics of fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) are comparable to those of humans. So, to study the teratogenic potentials, different concentrations of KBrO3 (15mM to 30mM) were exposed to the egg to adult stages of fruit fly. This study assessed life-history parameters and revealed significant increases in larval and pupal mortality, extended developmental durations, smaller larval, pupal, and adult sizes, deformities in pupae and aberrant phenotype in adults, all in a concentration-dependent manner. The results showed that KBrO3 treatment (15mM to 30mM) increased the developmental time of egg to pupae (p < 0.0001) and egg to adult (p = 0.0017). The viability rate of pupae (p < 0.0001); adults (p < 0.0001), the length (p< 0.0001) and width (p < 0.0001) of larvae and pupae decreased significantly as compared to the control group. These findings suggest that prenatal exposure to KBrO3 has clear teratogenic effects on fruit flies, indicating potential risks to human health if KBrO3 is used in any application
Surveillance Through Pheromone Traps Of Tomato Leaf Miner (Tuta absoluta) In Hyderabad Region Sindh, Pakistan
Get PDFTuta absoluta commonly known as South American Tomato moth is a destructive and rapidly spreading pest of Tomato worldwide. Since its first observation from Spain in 2006, it has invaded over 90 countries successfully up till now including Pakistan (Ishtiaq et al., 2020). This study presents significant insights into the rapid establishment of Tuta absoluta a notorious tomato pest, in the Hyderabad region. Adult male moths of T. absoluta were monitored using sex pheromone traps at three locations Tando Allahyar, Tando Jam, and Kotri. Notably, substantial variation in moth captures was observed among these locations, with Tando Allahyar reporting the highest population, followed by Tando Jam, while Kotri consistently had lower captures. overall highest number of T. absoluta was recorded from Tando Allahyar 137.5, followed by Tando jam 106 and Kotri 66.25 for two crop seasons. The study also revealed a direct correlation between T. absoluta population and crop maturation
Medical Negligence: A Conceptual Analysis
Get PDFThe concept of medical negligence refers to the malpractice of a medical professional who fails to meet the standards of his/her profession, which results in the death of a patient who was expecting the medical professional to save her/her life. Medical negligence is the most shameful act a medical professional can conduct because this negligence most of the time results in the death of the patient. The concept of medical negligence is well established in India however the Indian judiciary still follows Bolam‟s test which is outdated and vague and therefore new methods to determine medical negligence must be adopted by the Indian judiciary. To deliver justice in cases of medical negligence, the Indian judiciary must adopt new approaches so that at least the sufferings of a person in courts can be prevented. The court must award heavy punishments for those found guilty of medical negligence and impose heavy fines on hospitals that have employed such negligent professionals

Effect Of Parasitic Infection On The Enzymatic Function Of The Internal Organs Of Scomber Scombrus (Mackerel) And Euthynnus Alltteratus (Small Tuna) (Misrata, Libya)
Get PDFThe assessment of fish health has acknowledged the significance of helminthology and haematology characteristics as crucial instruments. The utilization of blood parameter measurement has been a longstanding practice in the field of fish health monitoring. The current study aimed to examine the impact of an indigenous infestation of parasites on various blood parameters, including activities of liver, kidney function tests, lipase, amylase, Creatine phosphokinase (CPK), and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH). The present study was undertaken to investigate the parasitic infection in a sample of 100 fish. The sample consisted of 50 of Euthynnus alletteratus, and 50 Scomber Scombrus. These fish were gathered from the waters of Misrata city, located in Libya. Results revealed the presence of statistically significant differences across various indices in both Euthynnus alletteratus and Scomber scombrus. A significant positive association was seen between urea values and many organs in Scomber scombrus, with the exception of the external body. Similarly, in Euthynnus alletteratus, a significant positive correlation was found between urea values and various organs, except for the external body and nostrils. The results of the study indicate that there is a positive link between creatinine levels and several internal organs in Euthynnus alletteratus, with the exception of external body tissues. A favorable correlation was seen between sodium levels and various organs in Scomber scombrus, with the exception of internal organs and the stomach. There was a positive correlation seen between potassium, Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), lipase, amylase, CPK, and total protein levels in several organs of both Euthynnus alletteratus and Scomber scombrus. A significant correlation was observed between LDH levels and several organs in both Euthynnus alletteratus and Scomber scombrus, with the exception of the external body in Scomber scombrus. In Euthynnus alletteratus, LDH levels were favorably connected with the nose, internal organs, and anterior intestine
