ANTHELMINTIC EFFECT OF LEUCAENA LEUCOCEPHALA EXTRACT AND ITS ACTIVE COMPOUND, MIMOSINE, ON VITAL BEHAVIORAL ACTIVITIES IN CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS

Anthelmintic Effect of Leucaena leucocephala Extract and Its Active Compound, Mimosine, on Vital Behavioral Activities in Caenorhabditis elegans

Helminth infections continue to be a neglected global threat in tropical regions, and there have been growing cases of anthelmintic resistance reported towards the existing anthelmintic drugs.Thus, the search for a novel anthelmintic agent has been increasing, especially those derived from plants.Leucaena leucocephala (LL) is a leguminous plant tha

Helmet Treatment of Infants With Deformational Brachycephaly

Deformation of the cranium in infancy represents a spectrum of deformity, ranging from severe asymmetric yet proportional distortion of the skull in plagiocephaly, to nearly symmetric yet disproportional distortion in brachycephaly.As such, the condition is best described as deformational plagiocephaly-brachycephaly with isolated plagiocephaly and/

Trends and variability of midlatitude stratospheric water vapour deduced from the re-evaluated Boulder balloon series and HALOE

This paper presents an updated trend analysis of water vapour in the lower midlatitude stratosphere from the Boulder balloon-borne NOAA frostpoint hygrometer measurements and from the Halogen Occulation Experiment (HALOE).Two corrections for instrumental bias are applied to homogenise the frostpoint data series, and a quality assessment of all soun
