The significant requirement of anthropometric characteristics besides other factors which are required for specific body build for good performance in sports has been established fact in different research studies conducted. The sports performance of Indian players is progressing significantly and it could be due to various factors. Body somatotype and body composition (forty four male players national level players were studied at Sports Authority of India, Delhi.

In the present work we focused on three species of microalgaeisolated from Tunisian coast in which bivalves reproduced naturally: Tetraselmis sp. (Tetra), Picochlorum sp. (Pico) and Chaetoceros sp. (Chaeto). Class, family and genus were identified and their potential utilization in aquaculture examined. Growth and biochemical composition have been accordingly studied. Thus, the three isolated microalgae exhibited adequate growth as well as protein and lipid contents for potential hatchery uses.

Introduction: BCG (BacilleCalmette-Guerin) – a live attenuated vaccine is routinely given to neonates where tuberculosis is endemic. Immunodeficient individuals are at a high risk of developing BCG related complications like BCG-itis or BCG-osis.

Case summary: A six month old baby who was vaccinated with BCG at birth developed an abscess at the vaccination site with regional adenopathy with disseminated BCG-osis. He was found to have T-cell immunedeficiency after thorough investigation.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) was estimated that 65 million people have moderate o severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). WHO was stated that more than 3 million people died of COPD in 2005 that corresponds to 5% of all deaths globally. COPD is characterised by airflow obstruction. The airflow obstruction is usually progressive, not fully reversible and does not change markedly over several months.

In this paper the research deals with appropriate methods of estimation and the important of using techniques estimating the parameter of nonlinear regression of linear regression with nonlinear regression models using robust methods .The possible of non-normal distribution and infinite variance in particular, has led to development of alternative estimation methods to the least square. Provided that one knows the generating distribution a well established procedure is the method of maximum likelihood, which has several optimal properties.

Introduction: There is a substantial increase in the coincidence of diabetes mellitus and cardiomyopathy. The cardiomyopathy may occur in patients who have no evidence of large vessel disease or abnormalities.

One of the roots of vehicle vibrations and shakes is the road roughness. Shocks due to bumps on the road are transferred to the vehicle body through the wheels and not only make discomfort for passengers but also reduce the quality of driving. In this paper, a vehicle suspension system will be designed. Then its performance will be shown through analysis and simulation. The main idea is based on the combination of a nonlinear energy sink and a skyhook.

A bizarre form of bacterial necrosis in gills of tilapia, Tilapia niloticus and skin lesions in common crap, Cyprinus carpio were identified during the late summer season of the year 2015. Flavobacterium columnare was found to be responsible for pathogenesis in the selected fish of river Yamuna at Allahabad in the eastern region of Uttar Pradesh, India. It was a gram-negative, rodshaped aerobic bacterium. The pattern of infection was very specific and sporadic to host and seasonality.

Breast cancer is the most frequent women cancer and is their first cause of cancer death. . This cancer is mostly sporadic, but familial aggregation was found in about 20% of cases. It is a heterogeneous disease with several subtypes.

This is a cross-sectional study gathering 1277 breast cancer cases supported between 2013 and 2014 at the Mohammed VI Center for the treatment of cancers. The statistical analysis was made by the Epi Info software.

Objective: To analyze the relationship of socio-demographic, clinical and care aspects changing the quality of life of people with venous ulcers (VU). Method: a Cross-sectional study conducted in a primary health care with 101 people with VU. Data was collected by a structured interview form and the Medical Outcomes Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). The Friedman test, Mann-Whitney test, and Logistic Regression Binary test were applied. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee (CAAE Nº 07556312.0.0000.5537).
