Objective of present studies was to correlates blood grouping with hair texture. Total 181 subjects participated in present study. The subjects were students in Baha Uddin Zakariya University Multan, Pakistan. Blood groups are chemical system used in blood transfusion and determination of parentage. Two types of blood groups are discovered yet, ABO and Rh. A survey was performed among subjects of different blood groups to determine their hair texture. Each subject told either they had curly or straight hair with his consent. It was concluded from present study that females having B+ blood group had maximum straight hair while A- subjects (males and females), B- subjects (males & females), AB+ males, AB- subjects (males and females), O- males had minimum curly hair similarly AB- and O- males had minimum straight hair......

There are reports about the existence of meningeal lymphatic vessels in human and nonhuman primates (mormoset monkeys) and feasibility of noninvasively imaging and mapping them in vivo with high-resolution, clinical MRI. On T2-FLAIR and T1-weighted black-blood imaging, lymphatic vessels enhance with graduator, a gadolinium-based contrast agent with high propensity to extravasate across a permeable capillary endothelial barrier, but not with gadofosveset, a blood-pool contrast agent. Keywords: Meningeal Lymphatic Vessels; The Cerebrospinal Fluid; The Dura Matter; The Superior Sagittal; Transverse Sinuses; Blood Brain Barrier; Chronic Inflammatory Response; Environmental Factors; Crc Risk.....

The urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common cause of antibiotic prescription in general medicine. The main etiological agents of UTIs are the Enterobacteria, that account for about 70 to 80% of the isolated microorganisms in the laboratory routine. In most cases, the empirical treatment is initiated, without the request of the urine culture, which can result in therapeutic failures and worsening of the disease due to the development of microbial resistance......

To evaluate the antifungal activity of four essential oils against Saccharomyces cerevisiae in vitro , four commercial essential oils extracted from Thymus vulgaris, Echinacea Angustifolia, Rosmarinus officinalis and Salvia officinalis were tested at three different concentrations (10, 50 or 100 ppm) for their antimicrobial activity against Saccharomyces cerevisiae using well diffusion method. S. cerevisiae was least susceptible to the essential oils. The diameter of zone inhibition ranged between 0 and 3 mm. E. angustifolia , and R. officinalis oils appeared to be the most active, while T.vulgaris and S. officinalis oils exhibited most weak antifungal activity against S. cerevisiae . These findings increase the possibility of exploiting these essential oils as a safe alternative natura..... ReadMore

Antibiotics are medicines used to prevent and treat bacterial infections. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in response to the use of these medicines. Bacteria, not humans or animals, become antibiotic-resistant. Antibiotic resistance occurs when an antibiotic has lost its ability to effectively control or kill bacterial growth. Antibiotic resistance is a major concern of overuse of antibiotics. In other words bacteria are resistant and are able to multiply in the presence of therapeutic levels of an antibiotic. Antibiotic resistance has become a major issue in the 21st century and is posing as a major blip on the danger radar. Pakistan being one of only three polio-suffering countries is also suffering from bacterial resistance caused by poor use of Antibiotics. Being a third world country, Pakistan su..... ReadMore
