Animals were presented to the faculty of veterinary medicine at Kerbala University for skin wound procedures and separated into two equal groups 6 rabbits each (group A and group B). Rabbits in group A were administered an intramuscular injection of xylazine (10mg/kg BW) followed by ketamine (50 mg/kg I.M) after 10 minutes. while those in group B were injected with fentanyl (0.04 mg/kg BW, I.M) first plus ketamine (50 mg/kg I.M) after 10 minutes. The physiological and anesthetic parameters to assess the complications that associated with anesthetic, were recorded and analyzed. \u0000Results: The level of induction and recovery varied significantly (P<0.05) among the groups. Compared to group B, group A had a considerably (P<0.05) shorter induction time. Furthermore, group A's mean time for losing pedal reflex revealed a substantial (P<0.05) decrease. Between-group differences in the responses to the pain test and muscular relaxation were statistically significant (P<0.05). Group A experienced a substantially longer (P<0.05) induction period, surgical anesthetic duration, and recovery period than group B. No rabbits died as a result of the anesthetic or the recuperation. \u0000Conclusion: Compared to Fentanyl-ketamine (FK) combination anesthesia, administration of Xylazine with ketamine (XK) apparently does not influence the physiological parameters.

While nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and Helicobacter pylori infection are well-known risk factors for the development of peptic ulcers, recent evidence suggests a complex interaction between host factors and the gut microbiota in ulcer etiology. This study provides a comprehensive review of recent research investigating the relationship between the genesis and progression of peptic ulcers and dysbiosis of the gut microbiota. The study highlights several natural compounds, such as flavonoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, and polysaccharides, that have demonstrated anti-ulcer activity in experimental models and clinical trials. Mechanistic understanding clarifies the many pathways, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant ones, through which these drugs perform their medicinal effects. It is interesting to note that many natural compounds focus on many pathogenic procedures that aid in the development and spread of ulcers, resulting in multifactorial effects. Albizia odoratissima is a member of the Fabaceae family and has been used traditionally in many folk medicines due to its medicinal characteristics. This study used experimental models of stomach ulceration to investigate potential anti-ulcer properties of methanolic bark extract from Albizia odoratissima (MAO). The anti-ulcer qualities of MAO were evaluated in rats using models of stomach ulceration brought on by HCL. Many parameters were assessed when different doses of MAO were administered orally, including the ulcer index, mucosal injury to the stomach, mucin content, and antioxidant enzyme levels. Additionally, a histological analysis was carried out to evaluate the possible protective qualities of MAO against harm to the stomach mucosa.","PeriodicalId":503810,"journal":{"name":"UTTAR PRADESH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY","volume":"7 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140972015","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}

With optimized conditions, the molecule was synthesized, extracted, purified, and characterized. UV analysis detected an absorption peak characteristic of a proteinaceous substance in the extracted material. The isolated compound was then tested for its antibacterial activity against foodborne pathogens. By utilizing the isolated component as a bio-preservative in various types of juices, its effect on shelf life was assessed.

But as technology advances quickly in this day and age, a related phenomenon in the field of artificial intelligence [AI] is beginning to take shape. In order to better understand the idea of \"antibiotic resistance\" in the context of artificial intelligence [AI], this study will compare and contrast the evolution of bacterial resistance with potential obstacles in the design and implementation of intelligent systems. The increasing prevalence of AI systems across several industries highlights the striking similarities between their capacity to adapt and withstand hostile attacks and changing surroundings, and the biological resistance mechanisms seen in bacteria. This study explores the causes behind AI resistance, looking at how data drift, adversarial manipulations, and changing user behavior might cause machine learning systems to lose their effectiveness over time. The paper also examines the ethical ramifications of AI resistance, addressing issues with biases, unforeseen outcomes, and the influence of intelligent systems on society that are resistant to change or intervention. The area of antibiotic stewardship in medicine serves as an inspiration for the paper's discussion of potential mitigation techniques for AI resistance. Through the identification of parallels between AI resistance and antibiotic resistance in bacteria, this study adds to a better comprehension of the difficulties pertaining to the long-term viability and efficiency of intelligent systems. Since AI will continue to be a major influence on the future, it is critical to address the problem of \"antibiotic resistance\" in this context in order to ensure that AI is developed responsibly and ethically.","PeriodicalId":503810,"journal":{"name":"UTTAR PRADESH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY","volume":"116 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140985678","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}
