Abstract
Biogenic nanoparticle (NP), derived from plant sources, is gaining prominence as a viable, cost-effective, sustainable, and biocompatible alternative for mitigating the extensive environmental impact of arsenic on the interplay between plant-soil system. Herein, the impact of green synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) was assessed on Catharanthus roseus root system-associated enzymes and their possible impact on microbiome niches (rhizocompartments) and overall plant performance under arsenic (As) gradients. The application of ZnONPs at different concentrations successfully modified the arsenic uptake in various plant parts, with the root arsenic levels increasing 1.5 and 1.4-fold after 25 and 50 days, respectively, at medium concentration compared to the control. Moreover, ZnONPs gradients regulated the various soil enzyme activities. Notably, urease and catalase activities showed an increase when exposed to low concentrations of ZnONPs, whereas saccharase and acid phosphatase displayed the opposite pattern, showing increased activities under medium concentration which possibly in turn influence the plant root system associated microflora. The use of nonmetric multidimensional scaling ordination revealed a significant differentiation (with a significance level of p < 0.05) in the structure of both bacterial and fungal communities under different treatment conditions across root associated niches. Bacterial and fungal phyla level analysis showed that Proteobacteria and Basidiomycota displayed a significant increase in relative abundance under medium ZnONPs concentration, as opposed to low and high concentrations, respectively. Similarly, in depth genera level analysis revealed that Burkholderia, Halomonas, Thelephora and Sebacina exhibited a notably high relative abundance in both the rhizosphere and rhizoplane (the former refers to the soil region influenced by root exudates, while the latter is the root surface itself) under medium concentrations of ZnONPs, respectively. These adjustments to the plant root-associated microcosm likely play a role in protecting the plant from oxidative stress by regulating the plant's antioxidant system and overall biomass.

Abstract
The agroforestry system is the best option to achieve the net zero carbon emissions target for India. Keeping this view, carbon sequestration and credit potential of gamhar based agroforestry system has been assessed. The experiment was carried out in randomized block design in seven different treatments with five replications. Gamhar tree biomass accumulation was higher in gamhar based agroforestry system compared to sole gamhar. Among different tree components, stem contributed a maximum to total gamhar tree biomass followed by roots, leaves and branches. The average contributions of stems, roots, leaves and branches in total tree biomass in two annual cycles (2016-17 and 2017-18) varied between 50 and 60, 19.8 and 20, 19.2 and 20, and 10.7 and 12.7 percent, respectively. In case of crops, above ground, below ground and total biomass was significantly higher in sole intercrops than gamhar based agroforestry system. Total (Tree + interrops + Soil) carbon stock, carbon sequestration, carbon credit and carbon price were significantly affected by treatments, and was maximum in Sole Greengram-Mustard. Net carbon emission was also recorded lowest in Sole Greengram-Mustard for which the values were 811.55% and 725.24% and 760.69% lower than Sole Gamhar in 2016-17, 2017-18 and in pooled data, respectively.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery has emerged as an increasingly popular weight loss intervention, with larger and more endurable weight loss compared to pharmacological and behavioural interventions. The degree of weight loss patients experience varies, between individuals, surgeries and over time. An explanation as to why differing weight loss trajectories exist post-surgery could be due to the complex interplay of individual differences in relation to eating behaviours and appetite. Thus the aim of this narrative review is to explore literature between 2008 and 2018, to assess the impact of impact of bariatric surgery on food selection and nutrient status, on eating behaviour traits and on disturbed and disordered eating behaviour, to determine their impact of weight loss success and weight loss trajectories. Immediately post-surgery, up until 1-2 years post-surgery, there is a reliance upon the surgery's alteration of the gastrointestinal tract to control food intake and subsequently lose weight. Energy intake is reduced, dietary adherence is higher, supplement intake is higher, appetite ratings are lower, there is a reduction in psychopathology, and an increase in wellbeing. After this point, patients become more susceptible to weight regain, as this is the point where passive observation of the weight reducing action of surgery, moves into more cognitive effort, on the part of the individual, to control energy intake. There are various factors which influence an individual's ability to successfully regulate their energy intake post-surgery, such as their level of Disinhibition, Restraint, Hunger, Emotional Eating, Uncontrolled Eating, psychopathology and wellbeing. The need for continued psychological and nutritional support post-surgery is necessary to reduce weight regain susceptibility.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to assess the incidence of diabetic neuroarthropathy and its related morbidity. METHODS The medical records of 296 diabetic patients were analyzed retrospectively between June of 1998 and July of 1999. The patients with long standing, poorly controlled diabetes mellitus and associated peripheral neuropathy were evaluated clinically and radiographically for the presence of arthropathic changes in the feet. Clinically, neuropathy was considered if there was absence of ankle jerk or glove and stocking sensory loss, or both. Radiographically, the presence of stress fractures, dislocation/subluxation, lytic or arthritic lesions of the bone and joints were taken as indicative of the disease. They were treated conservatively by total contact casting or surgically in the form of ray excision, amputation and skin grafting. They were followed up for an average period of 13 months. Results were evaluated clinically and radiographically. RESULTS The maximum incidence of diabetes mellitus was in the age group of 41-80 years. Diabetic neuropathy was present in 37 patients (12.5%). Male to female ratio was 23:14 with an average age of 70.42 years. The mean duration of diabetes mellitus was 14.2 years. Seventeen feet in 11 patients (4%) were found to have diabetic neuroarthropathy. The joints involved were tarsometatarsal (76%), metatarsophalangeal (59%), subtalar (47%) and interphalangeal joints (41%). Two patients underwent foot amputations. Patients treated with total contact casting resulted in satisfactory progress. CONCLUSION Diabetic neuroarthropathy, a less recognized complication of diabetes mellitus needs greater attention in Saudi Arabia. High-risk feet should be subjected to routine radiographs or preferably a computerized tomography examination. The timely detection of this problem can save many patients from disastrous complications.

Abstract
We compared cefixime with chloramphenicol in a trial for treatment of children with culture positive typhoid fever. Twenty children were given cefixime 10 mg/kg/day orally for 14 days and twenty received chloramphenicol 50 mg/kg/day orally for 14 days. On entry the clinical characteristics of the two groups were comparable. Clinical cure was observed in 18 (90%) patients treated with cefixime and 9 (45%) treated with chloramphenicol. Of 11 patients who did not respond to chloramphenicol, 10 were switched over to cefixime and all were cured. Overall 28 out of 30 cases (93.3%) were cured by cefixime.

Abstract
The study of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy has been at the vanguard of molecular genetic investigation into inherited diseases of the cardiovascular system for the greater part of the last decade. These studies have shown it to be a disease of sarcomeric contractile proteins and have highlighted its genetic heterogeneity. There are now seven known genetic loci and six disease genes associated with the condition. The biology of the mutant polypeptides has been studied in vitro, and animal models are being developed. Increased understanding gained from these studies has clarified features of the condition at the clinical level and has had an impact on management of patients. It is hoped that this work will lead to the development of novel therapies for both hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and acquired forms of left ventricular hypertrophy.

Abstract
Complexes of alpha-methyl-(2-thiophenomethylene) aryloxyacetic acid hydrazides with Cu(II) and Zn(II) metal salts were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molecular weight determination, molar conductance, and magnetic moment and spectroscopic techniques. In these complexes, the ligands form a conjugate O-N-S tridenate system, thus coordinating with metal through oxygen of the carbonyl group, nitrogen of azomethine, and sulphur of thiophenemoiety. Octahedral geometry is proposed for all the complexes. Antifungal activity of the ligands and their Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes was determined against plant pathogenic fungi viz. Alternaria alternata, Rhizoctonia solani, Colletotrichum capsicum, and Glomeralla cingulata at 28 degrees C. Antibacterial activity of ligands and their metal complexes was determined on gram positive Bacillus subtilis and gram negative Escherichia coli bacteria at 37 degrees C by the serial dilution method. In some cases an increase in biocidal activity of the ligands on coordination with metal ions was observed in terms of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values.
