Abstract: The present study was carried out to analyze morphometric measurement of Puntius sarana fish during April 2015 to March 2016. Fish specimens were collected from local fisherman at Nanded and seven morphometric characters were studied. The total length and weight of Puntius sarana were ranged from 11.00 cm to 26.6 cm and 13.6 gm to 231.41 gm respectively. The standard length and height of fish were ranged from 8.5 cm to 21.4 cm and 2.3 cm to 8.2 cm respectively. The head length and intra orbital space were ranged from 2.1cm to 6.0 cm and 0.9 cm to 1.0 cm respectively. Snout to dorsal fin length was  ranged from 6.8 cm to 16.6 cm.

Keywords: Puntius sarana, Morphometric, Godavari river.

Abstract: The existence of genetic substructure in E. coli was revealed by Whittam and colleagues (1983) and was later confirmed by Chaudhuri and Henderson (2012). This research is the first to investigate the various phylo-groups that exist among amongst APEC strains from scavenging local chicken in Morogoro region of Tanzania based on the modern quadruplex method. All eight phylo-groups were detected among the APEC strains in varying percentages. Among the APEC isolates, 63.2%, 68.4%, 78.9%, and 73.7% were found to belong to phylogroups D and B2, C and F respectively, whiles isolates in groups A, B1 and E were 15.8%,10.5% and 5.3% respectively. There was a strong simultaneous occurrence of several iron acquisition genes with  of structural gene for microcin iss thus (iss/iuCD), outer membrane protein(ompA) thus (ompA/sitEp). Iron acquisition genes and serum resistance genes recorded significant (P<0.05) differences between APEC and non-APEC strains and can thereby be used as markers for APEC isolates identification. The toxin and invasion genes, astA and ibeA which are normally recorded in minimal percentages were found to be significant determinants of APEC in the study. Funding: This work was supported by the intra ACP mobility scheme

Keywords: APEC, scavenging local chicken, revised phylo-grouping.

Abstract: Study of Ponderal index of freshwater fish Puntius sarana(Hamilton), from Godavari River, at Nanded, Maharahtra State were observed from April 2015 to March 2016. The obtained results indicate that population of Puntius sarana is better in condition throughout the year even in spawning season. LeCren (1951) remarks “The ponderal index forms an important part of fishery research and has often been issued to provide additional information about spawning, feeding and other aspects related to the well being of  a fish. Several other workers have been made investigations on the condition factor of different species and correlated the variation in ‘K’ values with various factor in life of fish. Hickling (1930,1940), Hile (1936), Thompson (1943), Menon (1950), LeCren (1951) have correlated the ponderal index with spawning cycle and feeding intensity in Johnius dussmieri. Review of literature shows there is no information regarding the ponderal index of Puntius sarana. Therefore the present investigation was undertaken with a view to study the ponderal index of this fish.

Keywords: fish Puntius sarana(Hamilton), Godavari River, spawning season, ponderal index.

Abstract: Hypothyroidism is associated with significant symptoms and an adverse effect on the quality of life. There exists a central homeostatic mechanism in the adult mammalian brain to defer these adverse neuropsychological manifestations, for some days. Thyroid hormone is known to affect the activities of some enzymes involved in neurotransmission. In this study, a reflection of the physiological consequences of ‘central thyroid hormone homeostasis’ has been addressed with the study of the activities of the synaptosomal membrane Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase on the days of onset and termination of the homeostatic phenomenon. Moreover, certain adrenergic receptor (α2- and β-) agonists and antagonists have profound influence on synaptosomal thyroid hormone levels during the days of initiation and termination of the ‘central homeostasis’.  This notion has further prompted us to investigate the effects of these compounds on Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase during the start and end days of this central homeostatic phenomenon. The altered activities of these enzymes on these two days point towards their dependency on cerebral thyroid hormone levels and thus the hormonal involvement in neurobiochemical events. The entire phenomenon of homeostasis thus appears to be a stress-mediated event involving an array of adrenergic non-genomic effects, further indicating a nongenomic role of thyroid hormone during homeostasis.

Keywords: Synaptosome, Na+-K+-ATPase, Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase, thyroid hormone, homeostasis.

Abstract: The present investigation on Diggi Pond, located at a distance of about 2 km south-east of the university campus (Lat.27⁰-54^`N long.78-04´ E), was conducted during May, 2007-April, 2008 for studying the biodiversity of periphytic community along with various physico-chemical parameters. During the entire study, periphytic community showed a seasonal distribution. Maximum density of periphyton was found in winter (2253 No. /cm²) on natural substrata and in post-monsoon (1191 No. /cm_­²) on artificial substrata, whereas minimum periphyton density was observed during post winter (479 No. /cm²) on natural substrata and during post winter (842 No. /cm²) on artificial substrata.

Periphytic community on natural substrata was found to be more diversified than that of artificial substrata. During the entire period of the study, five groups of plantperiphyton, namely Bacillariophyceae (18 species), Chlorophyceae (24 species), Myxophyceae (10 species), Euglenophyceae (2 species) and Xanthophyceae (3 species), and four groups of zooperiphyton i.e. Protozoa (2 species) Rotifera (15 species), Cladocera (4 species) and Copepoda (4 species) were found to be present on natural substrata. On artificial substrata, three groups of plantperiphyton i.e. Bacillariophyceae (17 species) Chlorophyceae (13 species), Myxophyceae (7 species) and two groups of zooperiphyton i.e. Protozoa (2 species) and Rotifera (5 species) were found to be present on all the three types of artificial substrata i.e. wooden block, stone and glass substrata. During the entire study, among total periphyton density, bacillariophyceae was the only group which was found as dominant group through out the year.

Keywords: Periphyton, biodiversity, plantperiphyton and zooperiphyton.

Abstract: The present investigation was carried out to evaluate and compare the effects two weed  on the germination indices and seedling growth of Vigna radiata (Green gram) and Vigna mungo (Black gram). Fresh weight and dry weight of tested plant samples were also determined. Differential inhibitory effect was observed for two weed plants on two tested crops. Germination energy, speed of emergence, germination index, coefficient ratio of germination and seed vigour index of all the extracts treated sets decreased as compared to control sets. But mean germination time and phytotoxicity were increased in all the treated sets.

Abstract: Objective: Birth weight (BW) is associated with increased risk of perinatal mortality when < 2.5kg. Despite the underlying role of a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors of unclear proportionate distribution, reduction of the global burden remains a priority. This study analyses maternal and environmental factors influencing BW.

Methodology: This analytical cross sectional review inferentially compared parturients who delivered singleton babies with BW above or below < 2.5kg across hypothesized risk variables. A total 4,027 singleton live births, from 2015 to 2020 were retrospectively studied.

Results: The overall mean BW was 3.05kg ± 0.4. About 90% of babies weighed 2.5-3.9kg, 5.9% weighed < 2.5kg while 3.8% weighed ≥ 4kg. Adolescent parturients (21.9%) recorded the highest prevalence of BW < 2.5kg. Urban and peri-urban residents recorded a comparatively lower prevalence of BW < 2.5kg. Primiparous parturients recorded a lower mean BW and a commensurately higher prevalence of BW < 2.5kg. Mean Hb concentration was higher among parturients with babies weighing ≥ 2.5kg while mean systolic and diastolic BP were inversely lower among this same category of parturients. Maternal adolescence (POR=2.1, 95% CI=1.2-3.6), rural residence (POR=2.0, 95% CI=1.15-3.5), primiparity (POR=2.4, 95% CI=1.4-4.0), prematurity (POR=8.4, 95% CI=4.7-14.9) and early term (POR=2.4, 95% CI=1.4-4.2) increased risk for BW < 2.5kg. 

Conclusion: Efforts to reverse adolescent pregnancy rates, (inextricably linked to high risk for BW < 2.5kg and prematurity), should be enhanced. Research to further investigate mechanisms underlying the role of primiparity, maternal hemoglobin concentration and maternal gestational or chronic hypertension should be prioritized.
