Rôle of blue-green algae and different methods of partial soil sterilization on rice yield

Results of experiments during three consecutive seasons on the rôle of blue-green algae in combination with partial soil sterilization and chemical nutrients indicate high responses to algae inoculation and a fertility build-up of the soil. It is also seen that blue-green algae tend to produce better response in soils which are poor

Hematological and Hepatic Profile of Dengue Patients Presenting to A Tertiary Care Hospital in Mumbai

Objective: To assess the pattern of hematological and hepatic involvement in patients of dengue fever. Methods: This study was performed in a tertiary care center in Mumbai, India. 142 patients diagnosed with dengue who were admitted between January 2016 to December 2017 enrolled for the study. Patients Demographic data, clinical history, examination findings, and investigations including complete blood count and liver profile were done. Results: Highest incidence of dengue was seen in the age group of 21-30. More males were affected than females. Highest incidence was seen in monsoon months in Mumbai (August-September). Commonest symptom was fever followed by rigor, chills, bodyache and headache. Altered sensorium was the rarest. In investigations thrombocytopenia was the commonest followed by raised AST and ALT. Conclusion: As Dengue causes significant mortality and morbidity,there is excess burden on healthcare infrastructure of metro cities in India, knowing about the disease behavior is of paramount importance. Doing simple and easily available investigations can be vital in predicting disease severity and need of inpatient and intensive care in Dengue patients
