Objective: To know the incidence of infections in preterm labour (PTL), premature rupture of membranes (PROM), neonatal morbidity and preventive strategies of preterm labour.
Methods: study consists of 100 urine and vaginal samples obtained from patients with preterm labour / PROM. The study group includes patients admitted into NRI General Hospital Labour Ward.
Objective: The present study aimed at evaluating the newly synthesized novel phenothiazine derivative (N14&N15) for memory enhancing activity in scopolamine and diazepam induced amnesic rodents using cook’s pole climbing, elevated plus maze and passive avoidance paradigm
Background: N14 and N15 are newly synthesized novel phenothiazine derivatives with substitution at N-10 position, which resembles with dopamine structure, having dopaminergic receptor agonist activity. Phenothiazines are reported to have anti-psychotic, anti-convulsant activity.
Introduction: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is the leading cause of bacterial infections. Billions of dollars are spent on a yearly basis to treat it empirically and fruitful results cannot be obtained unless we direct our efforts to a judicious choice of antibiotics and means to avoid the increasing bacterial resistance.1, 2, 3, 7 We observed the duration after which an organism showed significant change in antibiotic susceptibility (considering 20% as a significant change).
Mobile telecommunication companies in Nigeria have lackluster attitude and approach towards delivering superior customer service, values and satisfaction but, are rather more interested in maximizing profit. The research was conducted to evaluate the impact of customer loyalty strategies adopted among selected Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) services providers in Nigeria on customer satisfaction.

This paper seeks to explore the feministic issues in Margaret Atwood’s novel The Edible Woman. In this novel Atwood deconstructs the traditional gender discourses that intend to limit women’s choice, agency, and subjectivity. The novel is a representative fiction focusing upon the pangs of the women trapped in the web of patriarchy. It traces the traumatic journey of the protagonist, Marian, in search of self-definition. In the male dominated society women are viewed as consumable commodities. They are expected to fit in the roles ascribed by the male hegemony.
Solar cell materials with more than one bandgap offer the possibility to increase the efficiency of the solar cell beyond that of a single bandgap cell. In the present study comprehensive analysis is carried out on ZnSe doped with transition metals. Theoretical studies confirm the formation of suitable mini-bands within ZnSe band gap by doping of transition metals. The mini bands mainly are created by nd orbitals of the transition metals. Absorption coefficient, density of states and band structure are three important features of the proposed materials.
The PFZ advisory consist of Chlorophyll and Sea Surface Temperature is called Potential Fishing Zone on the contrary fishing is performed in the absence of PFZ advisory away from the PFZ is called as non-PFZ zone. With the help of PFZ advisory fishing activities are carried out in both within and outside PFZ realm by trawl & gill net upon hiring fishing boats from three fish landing centers off Ratnagiri coast. The pomfret fishes in the size range between 25-35cm were selected on board after completion of hauling. Especially these fishes are found in trawl catches and gill net too.
Traditional vegetables have been consumed by many rural communities for centuries and have a potential to contribute to household food security by providing direct access to readily accessible nutritious food and income. The availability of fresh vegetables is however seasonal but local communities in Hwange have made it an all year round activity. To assess the production and availability of the traditional vegetables, a survey was conducted in July to November 2013 in Nekatambe Ward of Hwange District.
In Egypt Echinocloa crus-galli is one of the most successful yield-limiting weeds in the rice fields that its control mostly relies on herbicides. Plant species Nauplius graveolens, Picris asplenioides, Reichardia tingitana and Urospermum picroides were collected from naturally growing population in coastal (Deltaic Mediterreanean coast) and inland desert WadiHagul of Egypt. The phytochemical analysis of the selected species in the present study showed that, they contain relatively high contents of tannins, saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids and phenols.
