In this paper, we have generalized the result of Ferhan Sola Erduran [15] and Anupama Gupta [3] using sub compatible map of type (α) and subsequent continuity. We established a common fixed-point theorem for six maps

Impact of endomycorrhizal fungi and other bioinoculants on growth enhancement of Glycine max (L.) Merrill

In the present investigation, the contributions of two indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomus mosseae and Acaulospora laevis), along with Trichoderma viride and Bradyrhizobium japonicum on growth parameters of Soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merrill were investigated. The results obtained indicated the dependence of soybean on mycorrhizal symbiosis. The different growth parameters increased significantly after 120 days of inoculation in comparison to control. Among all the growth parameters studied, plant height (162±3.34), fresh shoot weight (31.26±1.45), dry shoot weight (3.52±0.05), fresh root weight (4.07±0.56), dry root weight (1.03±0.03), root length (49.0±4.47) and leaf area (32.58±1.70) were highest in the combination of G. mosseae + A. laevis + T. viride + B. japonicum but arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) spore number (95.2±3.19) and percent mycorrhizal root colonization (93.26±3.96) were maximum in single inoculation of G. mosseae. Second most effective results were observed in the plants treated with G. mosseae alone. Thus the presence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and other bioinoculants in rhizosphere of soybean had positive effect on the different growth parameters

Does the classically chaotic Henon-Heiles oscillator exhibit quantum chaos under intense laser fields?

The quantum dynamics of an electron moving under the Henon-Heiles (HH) potential in the presence of external time-dependent (TD) laser fields of varying intensities have been studied by evolving in real time the unperturbed ground-state wave function f (x, y, t) of the HH oscillator. The TD Schrodinger equation is solved numerically and the system is allowed to generate its own wave packet. Two kinds of sensitivities, namely, sensitivity to the initial quantum state and to the Hamiltonian, are examined. The threshold intensity of the laser field for an electron moving in the HH potential to reach its continuum is identified and in this region quantum chaos has been diagnosed through a combination of various dynamical signatures such as the autocorrelation function, quantum 'phase-space' volume, 'phase-space' trajectory, distance function and overlap integral (akin to quantum fidelity or Loschmidt echo), in terms of the sensitivity towards an initial state characterized by a mixture of quantum states (wave packet) brought about by small changes in the Hamiltonian, rather than a 'pure' quantum state (a single eigenstate). The similarity between the HH potential and atoms/molecules in intense laser fields is also analyzed

Preterm labour and its effect on perinatal morbidity and mortality

Background: This study was performed to find out the incidence and identification of risk factors of preterm labour and also to find out the incidence of perinatal outcome in the form of morbidity and mortality.Methods: Total 720 antenatal cases with preterm labour admitted and studied in total one-year duration in UPUMS Saifai, Etawah. Out of 720 cases, 692 pregnant patients underwent preterm birth. Thorough history taking, general, systemic and obstetrical examination was done for each patient. APGAR Score and birth weights of the new borns were noted at the time of birth and they were followed up throughout the hospital stay. Incidence and perinatal morbidity and mortality of preterm births were calculated.Results: Incidence of preterm labour and births were 28.5% and 27.9% respectively. Among various causes of pre-term birth, spontaneous labour with intact membranes is the most common cause. Lack of antenatal check-up was found to be most common risk factor of preterm labour followed by infection and low socioeconomic status. Majority of the new-borns had low APGAR score (<6) in the present study. Total perinatal morbidity in the present study group was 67.2%Conclusions: We concluded that higher incidence of perinatal morbidity and mortality may be due to that the study was conducted at tertiary health care hospital which mostly receive high risk cases and majority of cases belonged to low socioeconomic group and also that the incidence of perinatal morbidity and mortality may be more in this part of country

Serum β HCG and lipid profile in early second trimester as predictors of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy

Background: Hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy are common (5-10%) and form one member of the deadly triad, along with haemorrhage and infection that contribute greatly to maternal morbidity and mortality rates. Although overt illness rarely appears until third trimester, there are multiple indications that the disease process begin early in the pregnancy. Since years there has been a search for an early predictor of PIH so that special antenatal care can be given to these patients. This prospective study was one of the efforts to predict preeclampsia by measuring serum beta HCG levels and lipid profile in 2nd trimester of pregnancy.Methods: This was a prospective study carried out on 200 pregnant women attending the outpatient antenatal clinic and estimating serum beta HCG and lipid profile in early second trimester.Results: Most of the women who entered the study were in the age group of 21-30 years. Out of 200 patients, 164 remained normotensive and 36 turned out to be hypertensive. 50% of patients in the normotensive group and 75% in the hypertensive group were primigravidas indicating that primigravidas have a higher risk of developing PIH compared to multiparas. No correlation was found between the residence and occurrence of hypertension. Among 45 patients with beta HCG >40,000mIU/mL, 30 developed hypertensions, whereas, among 155 patients who had levels 200 mg/dl. Among the hypertensive group, 83.4% cases had levels >250 mg/dl. A significantly higher number of hypertensive cases i.e.75% had serum VLDL >40 mg/dl. 83.4% of hypertensive patients had serum LDL >140 mg/dl. In our study, 5.5% of the cases among normotensive group had serum HDL <40 mg/dl whereas, 16.6% of cases among the hypertensive group had serum HDL <40 mg/dl.Conclusions: Women with raised serum beta HCG and/or dyslipidemia should be carefully followed up to achieve a more favourable outcome for both mother and the fetus

An open-label pilot study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BC caps for women with abnormal vaginal discharge due to microbial infections: case series

Herbal therapeutics advancement demand in management of abdominal vaginal discharge is increasing in women as it serves as an important housekeeping function in the reproductive system. This case series study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of birth control contraceptives capsules (BC caps) in women suffering from abnormal vaginal discharge. We conducted an open label interventional study of 15 female patients with in the age of 18-45 years (mean 33.7 years) with a history of abnormal vaginal discharge. Patients were asked to administer two BC caps (neem seed oil) capsule of 500 mg manually to vagina daily at night for 15 days followed by treatment assessment as per each schedule visit. Primary outcome includes change in microbiological parameters. Secondary outcomes included monitoring of adverse event (AE) and serious adverse event (SAE), changes in clinician’s assessment of symptoms and change in Subject’s global assessment of symptoms. The study showed the 93.33% and 87.5% improvement in abnormal vaginal discharge and cervical abnormalities. Microbiological cure rate found was 100% for pathogens. A constant decline was seen in the mean values of all the associated symptoms. Significant results in whiff and pH test were observed after treatment. The vaginal discharge was observed to be clear in 100% of the participants. Subject’s assessment of symptoms which were low back pain, vulval itching, general weakness, foul discharge, and burning sensation were improved. All results were significant at p value <0.05. The study found that BC caps is highly effective and safe in a treatment for abnormal vaginal discharge. It also showed improvements on associated symptoms with minimal to zero side effects

Efficacy and safety of Neemint capsules in an open label single arm trial of patients with gastrointestinal disorders

 Anti-inflammatory drugs which are commonly used medication in gastrointestinal (GI) disorder worsen symptoms and increasing impend need of better treatment method for the disease. Neemint capsules composed of polyherbal formulation of neem oil and peppermint oil. We conducted this study to assess the efficacy and safety of Neemint capsules in patients with gastrointestinal disorders including irritable bowel syndrome. We conducted an open label clinical study of 15 patients (mean age, 35.2±14.26 years; 86.6% males) with two or more GI symptoms. Patients were given Neemint capsule of 500 mg (350 mg of neem oil+150 mg of peppermint oil) as per each schedule visit. The primary endpoint was change in gastrointestinal symptom rating scale (GSRS-IBS). Secondary endpoints included monitoring of AE and SAE, IBS-quality of life questionnaire and change in subject’s global assessment of symptoms. The overall GSRS score improvement was found to be 64.23%. The IBS-QOL scores also indicated 57.2% increase in the quality of life of the study subject. The mean global assessment of symptoms (diarrhoea, constipation, abdominal pain, nausea vomiting and bloating) score recorded was 0. All results were significant at p&lt;0.05. In this study we found that Neemint capsules is highly efficacious in the treatment of IBS and GI symptoms and it is also well-tolerated and safe in study subjects (n=15) having complaints of IBS and GI disturbances.

A discussion on some recent coupled fixed point results via new generalized nonlinear contractive conditions

Recently, Samet et al. [34], by using the equivalence of the three basic metrics showed that certain coupled fixed point results can be obtained immediately from the well-known fixed point theorems. In the setting of partially ordered metric spaces, we establish a generalization of the recent coupled fixed/ coincidence point results under new nonlinear contractive conditions. The significant feature of the presented work is that, our obtained results are not the immediate consequence of the already existing results in the literature. Presented work generalizes some of the results of Bhaskar and Lakshmikantham [6], Berinde [7], Choudhury et al. [10], Harjani et al. [17], Jain et al. [21] , Karapinar et al. [22], Luong and Thuan [25], and Rasouli and Bahrampour [30].Publisher's Versio

Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis and alleviation of salinity stress

Several environmental factors adversely affect plant growth and development and final yield performance of a crop. Drought, salinity, nutrient imbalances (including mineral toxicities and deficiencies) and extremes of temperature are among the major environmental constraints to crop productivity worldwide. Development of crop plants with stress tolerance, however, requires, among others, knowledge of the physiological mechanisms and genetic controls of the contributing traits at different plant developmental stages. In the past two decades,biotechnology research has provided considerable insights into the mechanism of biotic stress tolerance in plants at the molecular level. Furthermore, different abiotic stress factors may provoke osmotic stress, oxidative stress and protein denaturation in plants, which lead to similar cellular adaptive responses such as accumulation of compatible solutes, induction of stress proteins, and acceleration of reactive oxygen species scavenging systems. Recently, various methods are adapted to improve plant tolerance to salinity injury through either chemical treatments (plant hormones, minerals, amino acids, quaternary ammonium compounds, polyamines and vitamins) or biofertilizers treatments (Asymbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria, symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria) or enhanced a process used naturally by plants (mycorrhiza) to minimise the movement of Na+ to the shoot. Proper management of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) has the potential to improve the profitability and sustainability of salt tolerance. In this review article, the discussion is restricted to the mycorrhizal symbiosis and alleviation of salinity stress
