Sublethal Toxic Effect of Paraquat Dichloride on Tissue Biochemical Markers in Labeo rohita
Abstract: The present study investigated the sublethal toxic effect of the commercial grade herbicide, Paraquat dichloride (24% SL), on Labeo rohita stressing the importance on biochemical parameters. Fishes were exposed to the sublethal concentrations of paraquat dichloride (5 μg/l and 10 μg/l) for 24 h in treated groups. Treated groups showed highly changed biochemical parameters on their exposure to the herbicide paraquat, when compared to the control. Tissues such as brain, …

Driver Alertness Detection Using Data Correlation
Abstract: AbstractThe number of accidents taking place across the globe is increasing at a fast pace and it's astonishing that around 20% accidents occur due to driver’s fatigue or due to lack of alertness. Non-alertness reduces reaction time and concentration, impairing the ability to execute decision making as well as attention-based activities. Being an aware and responsible citizen, it becomes essential to assure the driver’s vigilance and safety of passengers, co-passengers. …

Potential Role of Unani Herbs in Management of Hypertensive Cardiomyopathy: A Review
Abstract: AbstractHypertensive cardiomyopathy (HTN-CM) is a structural heart disease associated with concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) along with systolic or diastolic dysfunction in primary hypertensive patients in the absence of other cardiac diseases causing myocardial hypertrophy or cardiac dysfunction. The structural and functional myocardial abnormalities due to persistent hypertension result in myocardial ischemia, fibrosis, and hypertrophy. HTN-CM is primarily a disease of impaired ventricular relaxation rather than impaired contractility; thus patients …
