Comparison of safety and efficacy of tamsulosin, tadalafil, combinations and deflazacort in lower ureteric orifice negotiation by large size uretero- scope (8/9.8 Fr) prior to intracorporeal lithotripsy
Objective: To compare the safety and efficacy of tamsulosin, tadalafil, deflazacort and combination of tamsulosin with tadalafil in lower ureteric orifice negotiation by large size ureteroscope (8/9.8 Fr) prior to intracorporeal lithotripsy.Patients and methods: In this prospective study, 180 patients presented with ureteric stone of size 8–15 mm were randomly assigned to 5 groups: tamsulosin (group A), tadalafil (group B), deflazacort (group C), combination of tamsulosin with tadalafil (group D) and placebo (group E). After 10 days of drug therapy 168 patients were underwent ureteroscopy and findings like endoscopic configuration of ureteric orifice, need for ureteric dilatation, ureteroscope negotiation, operating time, drug related side effect and procedural complication were noted in each group.Results: All four groups (A, B, C, D) were significantly better than group E in terms of ureteric orifice appearance (wide) during endoscopy. Negotiation of ureteric orifice was easy in group A (70.59%), B (58.82%) and D (78.13%) as compare to group E (31.43%) which was statistically significant. Group A (32.35%) and D (34.38%) were statistically better with group E (62.86%) in terms of ureteral dilatation. Operative time was less in all four groups as compared to group E. All patients well tolerated the drugs with no serious side effects.Conclusion: Both tamsulosin and tamsulosin with tadalafil helps in forward propagation of large sizeureteroscope as compared to other groups with less operative time without any significant complications.So, we can conclude that tamsulosin alone can be helpful for lower ureteric orifice negotiation duringintracorporeal lithotripsy with minimal side effects.Keywords: Hematuria; Negotiation; Ureteroscop

Effect of some Heterocyclic Synthetic Nitrogen Regulators for Increasing the Efficacy of Urea in Paddy-wheat Crop Rotation
98-101In developing countries urea is the major
source of nitrogen, but it is a matter of concern that one-third of urea (30-35%)
is only utilized by the plants and the rest two-third (65-70%) is lost by volatilization,
denitrification, leaching and absorbed in lower profiles of the soil. Due to
this farmers suffer a great economic loss and have to face the polluted environment
and contaminated water. This wasteful loss of nitrogen can be controlled to a certain
extent
by application of some heterocyclic
nitrogen regulators like pyrazoles and isoxazoles. The isoxazole regulators can
control urea hydrolysis and denitrification, and increase N-uptake and apparent
N-recovery by formation of nitrogen complexes in soil which can be easily
adsorbed by growing plants. The present investigation was carried out in a IARI
farm soil (Typic Haplustept) and urea fortified with different synthetic isoxazole
compounds for N-regulation. The study indicated that the test regulators (at 5%
of the fertilizer level) significantly retarded the nitrification of soil applied
urea. In vitro studies have revealed that whereas 75% soil applied urea-N got
converted to nitrate-N within a week's time, the use of test chemicals delayed
the urea transformation for 10-14 days to achieve the same level of
nitrate-N. These regulators not only increased
the dry matter yield by 20-25% over control, but their application along with fertilizer
also increased the apparent -N recovery by 20-40% in both paddy and wheat
crops. The use of these chemicals was not detrimental to soil health. These
nitrification regulators retarded the conversion of ammoniacal-N to nitrate-N without
accumulation of nitrite-N, which is supposed to be toxic to the plants

Conjoint application of NPKSZn (120 kg N, 40 kg P2O5, 30 kg K2O, 40 kg S, 5.5 kg Zn ha−1) recorded maximum improvements in yield attributes and significantly out-yielded all the fertilization treatments with 14.90, 4.97 and 6.39% increments in grain yield compared with NPK, NPKS and NPKZn treatments, respectively. Nutrient (N, P, K, S, Zn) content and uptake were also improved significantly with balanced fertilization. Among the bioregulators, application of 0.50 mg I−1 brassinosteroid recorded maximum increments in grain yield (14.10%), followed by 10 mg I−1 kinetin (12.31%) and 1000 mg I−1 thiourea (9.92%), over control (4.99 t ha−1). Bioregulators significantly enhanced the uptake of nutrients (N, P, K, S, Zn) over control. NPKSZn treatment also gave the maximum net return (Rs. 51,209 ha−1). Among the bioregulators, brassinosteroid provided the maximum net return (Rs. 47,292 ha−1) and benefit:cost (B:C) ratio (3.37) followed by thiourea (Rs. 45,500 ha−1 and 3.35). Kinetin also provided yield advantage, however, it gave a significantly reduced B:C ratio compared with control.Not Availabl
