Abstract: Three different species of sisorid catfishes of the genus Pseudolaguvia are reported from the downstream of Aie tributary near the foot hills of the Chirang District of Assam, India. Morphometrically the Pseudolaguvia ferula Ng, 2006 distinguished from its congeners in having a terete head and body with combination of narrower head width (18.8 ̶ 19.0 % SL), shorter adipose-fin base (12.8 ̶ 13.7 % SL), presence of unculiferous ridges on the thoracic adhesive apparatus joined at their posterior ends.

Cu-doped ZnO thin film was synthesized on glass substrate using chemical bath deposition method at room temperature, exhibiting a hexagonal wurtzite structure with a crystallite size of 17.53 nm for 5 wt% Cu doping. The SEM image of the film’s crystallites displays a spherical morphology with an average size of approximately 100 nm. Gas sensing studies towards NO2 gas revealed a linear response up to 50 ppm with sensitivities of 1.64, 2.17, and 3.11 for 10, 25, and 50 ppm, respectively and 3.72 at 100 ppm without full saturation.

This article presents the soil properties of Bulk Density, Dry Density, Dry Unit Weight, Coefficient of Curvature, Coefficient of Uniformity, Type of Soil pertain to few locations of in and around Davangere. The Davangere is located in mid part of Karnataka, India and found properties of soils is helpful for built up infrastructure and to connect substructure and superstructure with necessary structural arrangements.

Various researchers investigated and analyzed the characteristics of several electric motors utilized in electric vehicles. To develop the study, they used a variety of techniques. Initially, DC motors were employed, but this has the drawback of generating losses because of the usage of commutators and brushes, which lowers efficiency and raises the requirement for motor maintenance. To do away with encounters and commutators, researchers converted from commutator motors to commutator less motors. Among the best commutator less engine types are asynchronous motors.

S.asoca is an ancient Ayurvedic medicinal tree that is used worldwide to treat various kinds of human disorders. The present research evaluates the anti-microbial activity of leaf (Methanol) endophytic extracts of the S.  asoca plant by the disc diffusion method against E. coli, P. syringae P. aeruginosa, and B. subtilis, S. aureus, K. sinensis. Methanolic extract of leaves showed the activity against these bacterial species.

Introduction: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) can cause intracranial and extracranial complications. Reducing its prevalence may have both immediate and long-term health advantages. Understanding the local microbial flora in CSOM is critical before beginning empirical therapy. Our study sought to evaluate the link between bacterial profiles and demographic features in patients admitted to tertiary care institutions with persistent suppurative otitis media infections.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by elevated blood glucose concentration (hyperglycemia) resulting from either defect in insulin secretion by the pancreas, insulin action, or both. According to World Health Organisation, over 422 million people have diabetes in the world while 24 million people in Africa have the disease but this prevalence is expected to rise by 129% by 2045. Materials and Methods: Forty (40) samples were selected for testing and analysis.

The different parts ofAzadirachta indica has significant medicinal values in Ayurveda field. They are commercially used for synthesis of different therapeutic drugs in pharmaceutical sector. In this study, dried flowers of Azadirachta indica RUBL21378 has been used for synthesis of natural dye. The phytochemical screening was performed in different extract of their dried flower in organic solvents like methanol, ethanol, and acetone.

Introduction:Vertebral spinal injuries are most often closed. Stab wounds are rarer, but likely to be life-threatening and functional due to their neurological and infectious complications. The objective of this work is to report our experience in the management of spinal cord wounds by stab wounds through 14 cases admitted urgently to our department. Material and methods: Fourteen (14) cases were collected at the neurosurgical department of the National Hospital Center of Nouakchott (CHN) between 2010 and 2024.

This comprehensive review examines psychobiotics, defined as live microorganisms that confer mental health benefits when administered in adequate amounts. The article explores the mechanisms through which psychobiotics influence the gut-brain axis, including microbiota modulation, neurotransmitter production, anti-inflammatory effects, HPA axis regulation, and immune system modulation.
