Introduction: The histological effects of Azadirachta indica (Neem) as a biopesticide, on the liver of Heteropneustes fossilis were determined. The histopathological changes induced in the liver were cytoplasmic vacuolization of the hepatocytes, blood vessel congestion, inflammatory leucocytic infiltration and necrosis. All these alterations in liver histology can be considered to monitor the water contaminated with biopesticides.

Systemic arterial hypertension is a public health problem that is difficult to control. Extrinsic and intrinsic factors consist of elements that hinder their diagnostic and medical follow-up. The present study aims to make an approach about the contributions of pharmaceutical attention in the control of the systemic arterial pressure of elderly patients. This is a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study. For the research, a review of the scientific literature was carried out.

Background: Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is rare, but it is the most aggressive thyroid cancer. Cancer stem cells (CSCs), which have self-renewal ability and can generate multi-lineage cells, are potential causative agents for ATC recurrence. To assess the role of CSCs in ATC, we evaluated the sodium-iodide symporter (NIS or SLC5A5) and Phosphatidyl Inositol 3-Kinase (PI3K) mRNA levels in the (CD133pos) CSC fraction of ATC cell lines. Methods: Using magnetic cell sorting, we isolated (CD133pos) CSCs from three ATC cell lines.

Associated certifications of Geographical Indications is the traditional knowledge and food traditions, considering that studies on this subject are important objective to conduct a review of the literature on the laws and regulations on geographical indication.

The unprecedented success of social media combined with the availability of omnipotent multimedia capturing communication devices has promoted a fervid two way interaction between broadcasters and their perspective audiences. The social media success path to preeminence, however, has created disillusioned expectations for analogous results in the arena of digital broadcasting.

The study aimed to assess the vulnerability due to climate change (CC) of rural fresh water and sanitation (RFWS) – an interest issue because of its important role in life as well as sensitivity to CC effects; a case study in coastal area in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam (Can Gio district). By index method, applied for the first time in RFWS field, vulnerability (V) was evaluated through 51 indicators. They include 20, 12, and 19 indicators with their weights refecting exposure level (E), sensitivity (S), and adaptive capacity (AC) of the system, respectively.

This paper presents concepts about ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) describing its historical process and addressing the implications of this disorder. In addition, the paper describes the nurse in mental health and demonstrates the attributions of this health professional in this thematic. Objective: To describe the mental health care activities performed by the nurse to the ADHD patient.

Playing for the child is the most important activity of his life. However, when the child becomes a patient in hospital treatment everything that is part of his daily life is transformed. The Therapeutic Toy is a way to mitigate the impacts caused by the hospitalization. The objective of this study was to evaluate the behavior of hospitalized children when they underwent nursing procedures after the therapeutic toy was applied. This is a qualitative descriptive approach.

A new semiorganic material of Tarataric acid and Urea (TAU) mixed crystals has been synthesized and successfully grown by the slow evaporation solution growth method. The grown crystals have been subjected to various characterization techniques such as single crystal XRD, SEM, FT-IR and UV-VISIBLE studies. XRD studies are used to carry out the crystallographic analysis. Fourier transform infrared spectum (FT-IR) is used to confirm the presence of various functional groups in the grown crystal. SEM studies are used to study the morphological identification.

Nomads are known as a group of communities who travel from place to place for their livelihood. The paper investigates Nutritional status of Nomadic Tribal women residing in North Karnataka. 30 nomadic adult women aged 18 to 45years from 6 districts of North Karnataka were selected. Nutritional status in terms of Anthropometry was assessed. Results revealed that 40% of the women belong to underweight category of BMI. Poor nutritional status of women makes her more susceptible to infectious diseases.
