It is important to rule out the genetic aspect as the cause of pregnancy wastages. This retrospective study aimed to determine the frequency of chromosomal abnormalities and its various cytogenetic types in the samples received by Metropolis Healthcare laboratory, Mumbai. This study was conducted on the samples referred for chromosomal karyotyping with a history of Bad Obstetric History (BOH). The couples who had an experience of two or more pregnancy losses were included in this study. Out of the 2102 samples referred, chromosomal abnormality was recorded in 384 (18.27%) cases. Out of chromosomal abnormal cases, 126 (5.99%) patients had reciprocal translocations out of which 27 (21.43%) were Robertsonian translocations. Inversion of chromosome 9 was seen in 81 (21.09%) patients, while inversion Y in 28 (7.29%) patients, and polymorphic variation like increase in length of satellite or heterochromatic region recorded in almost 149 (38.30%) patients. Cytogenetic evaluation of couples with recurrent pregnancy losses (RPL) is very important as after knowing the parental chromosomal pattern appropriate counseling can be offered to know the risk of recurrence, option of prenatal diagnosis and also opens the option of reproduction in some cases. This will also help them to have a cytogenetically healthy baby. Since the cytogenetic abnormalities are usually familial, the close blood relatives may also be benefited once the abnormality is detected.","PeriodicalId":14487,"journal":{"name":"IRA-International Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"12 1","pages":"9-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79702230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This refreshing wine of West and Central Africa is very sweet but within 24 hours the concentration of sucrose falls to less than 50% the initial amounts due to a rapid sugar fermentation by microorganisms. In Cameroon, Central Africa, traditional attempts to preserve palm wine imply the introduction of natural preservatives mostly barks and leaves from edible or medicinal plants. The leaves of Cymbopogon citratus, Pimenta racemosa, Vernonia amygdalina, Ocimum basilicum and the barks and the leaves of Garcinia lucida and of Adansonia digitata commonly used in palm wine preservation were analyzed for their chemical composition. The results showed that lipid, protein, ash, crude fiber, total sugars and vitamin C contents were respectively from 15.70 ± 1.13 to 23.57 ± 1.80%, from 8.38 ± 0.38 to 43.81 ± 3.69%, from 1.14 ± 0.17 to 10.06 ± 0.39%, from 11.74 ± 1.11 to 48.42 ± 0.55%, and from 1.49 ± 0.02 to 22.56 ± 0.59% and from 55.76 ± 3.15 to 175.71 ± 2.09 μg /100 g dw.

The statistical indicators of the first model which is a function of the Escherichia coli activity are: the coefficient of determination R 2 equals 0.992, the standard deviation S equals 0.342, the Fischer coefficient F equals 185.088 and the cross-validation coefficient Q 2 CV equals 0.992. Those of the second model showing the activity of Staphylococcus aureus are: the regression coefficient R 2 = 0.987, a standard deviation S=0.193, the Fischer coefficient F=114.955 and the cross-validation coefficient Q 2 CV = 0.987. These models have good statistical performances. The quantum descriptors of dipole moment (μ), global softness (σ) and electronegativity (χ) are responsible of the antibacterial activity of the Azetidinones derived from dapsone. In addition, the dipole moment is the priority descriptor for the prediction of the antibacterial activity of the studied compounds. The Eriksson et al. acceptance criteria used for the test set is verified. The values of the dtheo/dexp ratio of the theoretical and experimental activities for the test set tend towards unity.","PeriodicalId":14487,"journal":{"name":"IRA-International Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"8 1","pages":"55-62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90100587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cone beam computed tomographic scans of thirty patients (Age 16-30 years) were collected from preorthodontic records. Each measurement area was coded with a number beginning in the maxillary right quadrant distal to the second molar with number 1 and ending in the mandibular right quadrant distal to the second molar with number 30. For analysis these measurement areas were also grouped as sextants. Three measurement points were then defined at 2 mm, 4 mm and 6 mm from the alveolar crest in each measurement. The measuring locations were recorded on the four quadrants, resulting in 90 locations in the buccal cortical plate of maxillary and mandibular arch. The region of interest was explored at each measuring location of the 30 sites using Galileos software. The optimal site for miniimplant placement in the anterior region is between the central and lateral incisors in the maxilla and between the lateral incisor and the canine in the mandible at the 6-mm level from the alveolar crest. At the buccal aspect of the posterior region of both jaws, the optimal sites are between between the first and second molars i.e. in the Maxillary arch at 4 mm level on the right side and left side and in the Mandibular arch at 6 mm level on the right side and left side.","PeriodicalId":14487,"journal":{"name":"IRA-International Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"13 1","pages":"31-47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78273988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The shells of canarium schweinfurthii were impregnated with ZnCl2 at varying ZnCl2 concentrations, temperature, residence time while keeping the heating rate fixed at 10 °C / min and the ratio of impregnation of 1:1. The activated carbon with the highest surface area in term of iodine number of 860,817 mg/g, the highest methylene blue of 741,6 mg/g and 74,66 % of yield of carbon was obtained at 650 °C, 60 % ZnCl 2 and 30min. From the batch adsorption studies, the equilibrium time was found to be 40 min. Analysis of equilibrium isotherm models revealed a good correlation of the experimental data with the Tempkin (R 2 = 0.909) model. This confirms a high affinity of the activated carbon for Cu 2+ ions on the heterogeneous surface. The value of energy obtained from the Tempkin model was 60,606 J/mol and the presence of pics between 487 cm-1 to 871 cm-1 indicating that physisorption and chemisorption were taking place during this sorption. The pseudo-second order kinetics(R 2 = 0.999) governs the adsorption of Cu2+ions on this activated carbon.","PeriodicalId":14487,"journal":{"name":"IRA-International Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"111 1","pages":"18-30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85697625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
