Pyogenic Granuloma in a Patient of Sturge-Weber Syndrome with Bilateral Port Wine Stain- A Rare Case Report
Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) also known as
encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis. It is a
neurocutaneous syndrome, characterized by a
facial vascular birthmark and neurological
abnormalities. An ipsilateral or bilateral facial
cutaneous vascular malformation Port Wine Stain
(PWS) usually affects the upper face. Other
clinical manifestations are seizures, glaucoma,
hemiparesis, mental retardation and delayed
developmental milestones. The main objective of
this case report is to unravel such a rarest syndrome
with bilateral port-wine stain, which has
intraoral manifestation of pyogenic granuloma
involving gingiva in an 11 year old boy
Food and nutrition security in the Barotse floodplain system
The CGIAR Research Program on Aquatic Agricultural Systems (AAS) is being implemented in ten communities in the Barotse floodplain of Zambia’s Western Province. With a focus on the rural poor and vulnerable, the AAS program aims to reduce poverty and improve food security by harnessing the development potential, productivity and diversity of aquatic and agricultural systems. The development challenge in the Barotse floodplain, as identified by relevant stakeholders, is to make effective use of seasonal flooding patterns and natural resources through more productive and diversified aquatic agricultural management practices that improve the lives and livelihoods of the poor and vulnerable.
Food and nutrition are essential to support the overall AAS program objective and overcome the specific development challenge of the Barotse floodplain. Zambia has very high malnutrition rates, particularly for stunting in children under five. Poor nutritional status, especially of women and children, inhibits individual growth and development, and negatively impacts the overall health, productivity and economic potential of a community. The purpose of this report is to analyze the food and nutrition security situation within the Barotse floodplain. It explores multiple sectors, including nutrition, agriculture, health, and gender, at the national, provincial and community level to provide a comprehensive understanding of food and nutrition in the ten AAS communities in relation to the country as a whole. The analysis will provide informative inputs to the AAS Barotse hub design process to develop an appropriate food and nutrition research-in-development agenda
Seafood in Food Security: A Call for Bridging the Terrestrial-Aquatic Divide
The contribution of seafood to global food security is being increasingly highlighted in policy. However, the extent to which such claims are supported in the current food security literature is unclear. This review assesses the extent to which seafood is represented in the recent food security literature, both individually and from a food systems perspective, in combination with terrestrially-based production systems. The results demonstrate that seafood remains under-researched compared to the role of terrestrial animal and plant production in food security. Furthermore, seafood and terrestrial production remain siloed, with very few papers addressing the combined contribution or relations between terrestrial and aquatic systems. We conclude that far more attention is needed to the specific and relative role of seafood in global food security and call for the integration of seafood in a wider interdisciplinary approach to global food system research

The reproductive performance of the Red-Algae shrimp Leander paulensis (Ortmann, 1897) (Decapoda, Palaemonidae) and the effect of post-spawning female weight gain on weight-dependent parameters
Effects of Curcuma longa extracts on mortality and fecundity of Bactrocera zonata (Diptera: Tephritidae)
Herpetic Recurrent Oral Erythema Multiforme
Erythema multiforme is considered as an immunologic
disease possibly occurring because of predisposition to
certain microorganisms, radiotherapy, systemic
diseases, malignancy, and food or drug allergy. Here
we report a case of herpes-induced recurrent erythema
multiforme primarily manifesting in oral mucosa
during first two episodes and third episode was
characterized by oral lesions followed by skin lesions
and the severity was increased with the subsequent
episodes, during each incident we have successfully
managed the case
