Use of Homeopathic Pellets and Globules Diffusates against Root Rot and Root Knot Pathogens on the Growth of Crop Plants | Chapter 01 | Research and Development in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 1

The aim of this study was to assess fungicidal and nematicidal potential of homeopathic pellets and globules on the improvement of plant growth in the management of plant pathogens. Amendment of homeopathic drug pellets and globules at 75 and 50% concentrations in soil suppressed the colonization of root infecting pathogens which alters the growth by increasing the height and weight of leguminous and non leguminous plants. However, using homeopathic globules in leguminous plants such as mung bean and mash bean gave negative effects by inhibiting nodules on the roots which was confirmed in vitro test. Homeopathic pellets of Kent-20 and Santonine-43 respectively, at both concentrations (75 and 50%) amended in soil improved the height and weight of plant but also suppressed the galls formation and egg masses on root system in leguminous and non leguminous plants. Amendment of homeopathic drug globules in non leguminous (sunflower and okra) plants only as it was already proved that it suppressed nodules formation in leguminous plant on root rot experiment, hence homeopathic drug globules showed pronounced effect on plant growth and reduced the infection caused by M. javanica. It was striking to observe in vitro test that when globules used without homeopathic drugs reduced the hatching of juveniles but failed to kill the nematode but when Kent-20 and Santonine-43 infused in globules, it exerted complete mortality at 96 hours in all concentrations (100, 75 and 50%). Field experiments were carried out on tested seeds treated with homeopathic pellets (A. montana, T. occidentalis, Kent-20 and Santonine-43) at 75 concentrations remarkably enhanced the plant growth and improved the crop yield but also control the plant pathogens.

A Prospective Study about Safety and Efficacy of Perioperative Lidocaine Infusion | Chapter 09 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 Opioids cause clinically significant side effects such as respiratory depression, immunosuppression, muscle rigidity, negative inotropism, nausea, vomiting, hyperalgesia, urine retention, postoperative ileus, and drowsiness. Perioperative opioids are a major contributor to the United States' and other countries' opioid epidemics. Non-opioid analgesics, particularly lidocaine, are becoming more common for perioperative use as a result of this. A total of 185 adult patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: control group I (105 patients) [fentanyl group] or group ii (80 patients) [opioid-free anaesthesia group]. Lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg bolus followed by 1.5 mg/kg/h infusion intraoperatively, and 1.5-2 mg/kg/h infusion for 2-8 hours postoperatively were given to patients in both groups at anaesthetic induction. Intraoperatively, both groups received analgesic adjuvants such as diclofenac 75 mg, paracetamol 1 gm, and mgso4 30-50 mg/kg. If the mean arterial pressure (map)

A Brief Study of Middleware Technologies: Programming Applications and Management Systems | Chapter 15 | Novel Research Aspects in Mathematical and Computer Science Vol. 1

  Many platforms, services, applications, hardware, and operating systems are connected through the middleware layer. Because the middleware layer abstracts much low-level complexity and makes applications and software systems portable, it allows disparate systems to interface and function together in harmony. Middleware technologies enable software engineers to swiftly construct software systems and applications, allowing developers to focus on more important tasks. This chapter examines several types of middleware systems and discusses middleware capabilities, middleware operation, middleware's function in cloud-based systems, and the best middleware platforms to use. Middleware systems are widely utilised and can be found in practically any software system or application. Middleware programmes provide as a link between many sorts of systems and protocols. They serve as a mechanism for various systems. To successfully exchange information, it runs on a variety of operating system

Patients’ Perspective of Acute Post-operative Pain Management: A Multicentre Survey of Tertiary Hospitals in Maharashtra, India | Chapter 08 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 When postoperative pain is adequately controlled, patients' satisfaction and patient-related outcomes (PROs) increase. Understanding the patients' perspective is crucial since it supports in the formulation of improvement strategies. Because wrong attitudes and assumptions might block pain alleviation, patients' attitudes and beliefs are critical. As a result, a multicenter study of patients' attitudes, beliefs, experiences, and satisfaction levels with acute postoperative pain management was done in Maharashtra's tertiary hospitals. In addition, the responses were examined to evaluate if the Acute Pain Service (APS) resulted in improved patient outcomes and satisfaction. A 13-item questionnaire adapted from previous studies was used to capture patients' experiences with postoperative pain treatment. The responses of 179 patients are included in the study. The findings revealed that 91.6 percent of patients experienced postoperative pain, with 75.5 percent
