This study was carried out to compare the nutritional values of seven freshwater, air-breathing fish species commonly found in Assam, India. The fish included Channa punctata, Channa striata, Channa gachua, Channa marulius, Heteropneustes fossilis, Anabas testudineus, and Clarias magur. Samples were collected from the Kamrup district, and their protein, fat, moisture, ash, and carbohydrate contents were analyzed. The results showed that Channa marulius had the highest protein content at 24.94%, while Clarias magur had the lowest at 14.3%.

The present study evaluates the physico-chemical parameters of the Vaigai River at five sampling sites during August 2015 and August 2025 to understand spatial and temporal variations in water quality. Parameters including pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), alkalinity, hardness, calcium, magnesium, iron, chloride, nitrate, phosphate, fluoride, Dissolved oxygen (DO), Biological oxygen demand (BOD) and Chemical oxygen demand (COD) were analysed.

Although there is a nearly three-decade history of team teaching between NESTs and NNESTs in Korean public-school English-language courses, many Korean graduate-school teacher-trainees still lack awareness of and practice in team-teaching approaches. The aim of this research was to gain insight on what graduate-school trainees in a reading methodology course thought about the team-teaching approach of co-teaching.

The present investigation was intended to explore the effect of Daily Home Assignments in terms of retention in Science subject. Experiment was conducted on IX-class students studying in Digambar Jain Inter College, Agra. The school was selected purposively and there were total 66 IX class students (N=66) who were randomly assigned to Experimental Group (N=33) and Control Group (N=33). Tools employed were: Instructional Material based on Traditional Approach, Daily Home Assignments and Science Retention Test.

The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis orchestrates reproductive function in vertebrates, with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and its receptor (GnRH-R) serving as key regulators in this endocrine cascade. In teleost fishes, including economically and ecologically significant species such as Heteropneustes fossilis (Singhi), the GnRH-GnRH-R system plays a vital role in initiating and maintaining reproductive processes. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of current research on the structure, expression, and function of GnRH receptors in H.

Background: Khār-i-Khasak/Gokhrū is a valuable medicinal plant in the Unani System of Medicine (USM). Gokhrū is classified into two types: Khār-i-Khasak Khurd (small caltrop) and Khār-i-Khasak Kalān(large caltrop).The small Caltrop (Tribulus terrestris) and the large Caltrop (Pedalium murex) belong to the Zygophyllaceae and Pedaliaceae families. These plants are well-known for their therapeutic benefits. It has medicinal applications in many ancient medical systems, including Unani, Ayurveda, Siddha, and others.

This study compares organ doses, effective doses, and cancer risk in thyroid cancer patients treated with either a single 3700  MBq (100  mCi) or three times of 1110  MBq (30  mCi) ) I-131 doses 15 days apart. Nineteen patients (16 females, 3 males) underwent whole-body scans at 24 and 48 hours post-administration after one month using 37 MBq of I-131. Organ dosimetry was calculated with OLINDA/EXM and cancer risks estimated using ICRP 103. Fractionation lowered organ doses and cancer risk by ~10% in both sexes.

Safe drinking water remains a significant concern for rural and tribal communities in Chandel District, Manipur. The present study assessed the water quality over a period of three year (October 2015 to September 2018) by collecting monthly samples from taps, wells, hand pumps, tube wells, springs, three rivers (Maha, Chakpi and Machi) and ponds. Ten physico-chemical and biological parameters were measured and the weighted arithmetic Water Quality Index (WQI) was calculated for summer, winter and rainy seasons.

The breastfeeding and Breast Cancer though closely inter linked, the knowledge about the beneficial effect of breastfeeding is not widely spoken amongst people and its uncommon among other risk factors which get more importance in comparison with breastfeeding. The objective of this study is to assess the knowledge and attitude of breast cancer patients regarding breastfeeding. The hospital based descriptive cum evaluatory study was conducted in Regional Cancer Centre located in Uttar Pradesh State of India with women aged 20-80 years.

Unani Tibb, one of the most ancient systems of medicine founded by Hippocrates, is rooted in the philosophy of maintaining equilibrium among the four natural body humours -Dam (blood), Safra (yellow bile), Sauda (black bile), and Balgham (phlegm). According to Unani doctrine, health is the result of a harmonious balance among these humours. When their quantity and quality remain normal and they mix properly, the body functions optimally. However, any disturbance in this balance-whether in amount or distribution -leads to disease.
