Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world. Glaucoma is the most common cause of blindness that cannot be reversed around the world. The primary purpose of this investigation was to conduct a review study on glaucoma from a variety of aspects, including its description, forms, and management, as well as the importance of routine eye examinations. Glaucoma refers to a set of eye illnesses that, when taken together, have the potential to cause irreversible damage to a person's vision if the disease is not properly recognized and treated in a timely way. It is possible for a person's eyesight to become impaired due to glaucoma if the disease is not detected and treated in a timely manner. Glaucoma can be subdivided into a number of different major subtypes, the most common of which are primary open-angle glaucoma, angle-closure glaucoma, normal- tension glaucoma, and secondary glaucoma. Glaucoma can be caused by a number of factors in addition to variables such as a rise in intraocular pressure. These variables include the patient's age, the medical history of the patient's family, the patient's ethnicity, and certain medical illnesses.","PeriodicalId":199401,"journal":{"name":"Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115402626","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}

In compounds common among plants treated with Earth’s sound and control, 3-O-Methyl-d-glucose from plants treated with Earth’s sound was highest at 1.20 PPM. Compounds common among plants treated with Jupiter’s sound and control, 3-Hexenal from plants treated with Jupiter’s sound was found to be highest with 1.87 PPM, Similarly, compounds common among plant’s treated with Earth’s sound and Jupiter’s sound, Gamma sitosterol from leaves of plants treated with Earth’s sound was found to have highest value i.e, 1.27 PPM. Compounds that were common for all the three groups, plants treated with Earth’s sound was found to have increased Squalene with 1.23 PPM. A general trend of phytochemicals from plants treated with planet Earth’s sound had an elevated value.

The infection has spread rapidly internationally and has had devastating consequences by producing large numbers of infected people and deaths as well as a negative socioeconomic impact. As for diabetes, it is a chronic, insidious, multi-factorial disease. In Morocco it is a major public health problem. This pandemic has raised questions about the risk of chronic diseases. Among them, diabetes; one of the most frequently reported comorbidities in patients with COVID-19. Our work consisted of a retrospective descriptive and analytical study of 72 cases of COVID- 19 associating Diabetes and COVID-19, collected at the Military Hospital Avicenne of Marrakech, during a period of 4 months between June 2021 and September 2021. The aim of this work was to define the clinical, paraclinical, therapeutic and evolutionary profile of the association between diabetes and COVID19, to identify the risk factors associated with the death of these patients through an analytical study and to propose recommendations for the management of diabetic patients with COVID-19.

The aqueous extracts were subjected to phytochemical analysis using standard methods while the n- hexane extracts were subjected to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The results of the phytochemical screening showed the presence of alkaloids (0.189mg/g), saponins (0.047mg/g) and flavonoids (22.35QE/g) in P. hastata while the alkaloids, saponins and flavonoids content in B. lambaranensis were 0.184mg/g, 0.037mg/g and 14.18QE/g respectively.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the slaughter yield of cattle according to their place of origin at the M'pila abattoir. The study involved 180 heads of cattle of different origins for the period August-October 2022. Barymetric measurements (height at withers, chest circumference, ventral circumference, and scapulo-ischial length) on live animals and weighing of hot carcasses for yield calculation were performed. The results obtained in this study show an average live weight of 438.75 kg; an average carcass weight of 204.93 kg and therefore an average yield of 49.97%. The barymetric measurements indicate averages of 144.74 cm for scapulo-ischial length; 172.77 cm for chest circumference; 137.5 cm for height at withers and 196.15 cm for ventral circumference. The average age of this study was 4.11 years, for 4 different breeds (N'dama, M'bororo, Goudali and Foulbé). These results made it possible to determine the beef performance of animals from Congo and Cameroon, respectively 56.88% and 51.72%.

Assessment of the antimicrobial potential has been done using agar well diffusion method and the metabolites profiling has been carried out using HPLC and GC-MS. Several actinobacterial extracts showed antimicrobial activity against multiple tested microbes, NA118 and N182 exhibited antimicrobial activity against the three tested microbes Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bacillus subtilis and Candida albicans. Actinobacterial strains showed differential levels of amino acids, Isolate NA118 showed the highest increases in valine, proline, ornithine, leucine. Highest levels of hexadecatrienoic (C16:3) and hexadecanoic (C16:0) were recorded for isolate NA8. Isolate NA182 was rich in several phenolics and flavonoids. High contents of beta-tocopherol and delta-tocopherol and gama-tocopherol were recorded for isolate NA118 and NA18. Finally, The pharmacological characteristics of the bacterial extracts were assessed. Antibacterial testing revealed that 10 of 12 bacterial extracts were having antimicrobial activities against at least one of the microorganisms examined. Therefore, Further studies needs to be performed in which we can isolate and identify various actinobacterial species using different media beside it could have interesting biologically active metabolites.","PeriodicalId":199401,"journal":{"name":"Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences","volume":"149 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115894434","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}

Wind, rain, birds, bees, and insect pollinators have begun carrying genetically-altered pollen into adjoining fields, polluting the DNA of crops of organic and non-GE farmers. Once released, it is virtually impossible to recall genetically engineered organisms back to the laboratory or the field. Genetic Engineering is a very useful technique as per the agricultural or animal breeding aspects. We can modify the genes of an organism to improve or change its properties. This modification sometimes undesirably spreads into the neighbouring species via pollination or cross breeding which might either improve or deteriorate the properties of the organisms.

In this context influence of exposure intensity and duration of exposure to low frequency (50 Hertz) electromagnetic field produced by a locally designed monoaxial Helmholtz Coil on germination parameters of Triticum aestivum L.

Control plants were grown under the local geomagnetic field (50 micro Tesla). Germination parameters like mean germination time, germination percentage, co- efficient of germination etc. were calculated for each test condition. Results indicated that among all the test conditions the alternating magnetic field with exposure rate of 60 Gauss/30 minutes found most conducive to Wheat germination which is reported here for the first time.
