Physiological and molecular responses of house fly (Musca domestica L.) to clove flower bud extracts.

The house fly, Musca domestica, is a major mechanical vector of several pathogens, posing significant public health risks. Due to the hazards associated with indoor use of synthetic insecticides, biopesticides offer an eco-friendly alternative. Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) flower bud extract contains bioactive insecticidal compounds; however, a comprehensive study of its sublethal effects on M.

Sublethal effect and molecular responses of Musca domestica to cinnamon extracts.

The house fly, Musca domestica L., plays a crucial role as a mechanical vector for a variety of pathogens that impact both humans and animals, highlighting the need for effective control measures. Conventional approaches, including sanitation and waste management, exhibit certain constraints, resulting in a dependence on synthetic insecticides that carry potential risks of toxicity and the development of resistance.

Chemosterilant Potential of Insect Growth Regulators for Management of (Diptera: Tephritidae).

The melon fruit fly, , is an important insect pest responsible for significant yield losses in vegetables. Conventional control methods, like pesticide applications, have certain limitations, including environmental contamination. This study evaluated the chemosterilant potential of five new insect growth regulators (IGRs)-Pyriproxyfen; Novaluron; Lufenuron; Buprofezin; and Flubendiamide-at concentrations ranging from 50 to 300 ppm in a 5 mL diet against .

Impact of field evolved resistance on biological parameters of non-targeted Aedes aegypti populations.

The yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti L., known for transmitting viruses causing yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya, and Zika fever, presents a substantial risk to global human health. The development of insecticide resistance in disease vectors has become a significant problem in Ae.

The Association of Helicobacter pylori With Portal Hypertensive Gastropathy in Patients With and Without Cirrhosis.

Introduction: Cirrhosis and its associated complication of portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG), among others, remain a significant cause of death in resource-poor countries with limited capacity for liver transplantation. This research aimed to assess the association of () with portal hypertensive gastropathy and its severity in patients with and without cirrhosis.

Methodology: The study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan from April 2021 to May 2022.

Numerical simulations for the Toda lattices Hamiltonian system: Higher order symplectic illustrative perspective.

In this paper we apply some higher order symplectic numerical methods to analyze the dynamics of 3-site Toda lattices (reduced to relative coordinates). We present benchmark numerical simulations that has been generated from the HOMsPY (Higher Order Methods in Python) library. These results provide detailed information of the underlying Hamiltonian system.

Role of ascorbic acid supplement in amelioration of anaemia in lead intoxication.

Objective: To assess anaemia and oxidative stress in rats that were injected lead and to evaluate the possible effects of ascorbic acid supplementation on these parameters.

Methods: This randomised control trial study was conducted at the Army Medical College, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from October 2007 to September 2008, and comprised Sprague Dawley rats. The rats were randomly divided into three groups.

On Comparison of Series and Numerical Solutions for Flow of Eyring-Powell Fluid with Newtonian Heating And Internal Heat Generation/Absorption.

In this paper, we have investigated the combined effects of Newtonian heating and internal heat generation/absorption in the two-dimensional flow of Eyring-Powell fluid over a stretching surface. The governing non-linear analysis of partial differential equations is reduced into the ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The resulting problems are computed for both series and numerical solutions.

Indications for endoscopic ultrasound and diagnosis on fine-needle aspiration and cytology.

Objective: To determine common indications for requesting Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) and to describe the diagnosis made after endoscopic ultrasound/Fine-Needle Aspiration and Cytology (FNAC) during two years at a tertiary gastrointestinal unit.

Study Design: Cross-sectional descriptive study.

Place And Duration Of Study: The study was carried out in Gastrointestinal Department of Military Hospital, Rawalpindi, from March 2006 to February 2008.
