| Title | : | Pleurogenoides neelimae n. sp. (Trematoda: Pleurogenidae) from the intestine of a freshwater fish Wallago attu (Bloch) |
| Country | : | India |
| Authors | : | Anil Kumar || Arshad Khan || D.K. Gupta || Neelima Gupta || Mahesh Verma |
Abstract: Pleurogenoides neelimae n. sp. from a fresh water siluroid fish, Wallago attu (Bloch) is described. It is distinguished from other species in having an oral sucker more or less equal to the ventral sucker, genital pore in the middle region of oral sucker, vitelline follicles from anterior end of ventral sucker up to mid oral sucker. A key to the species of the genus Pleurogenoides Travassos, 1921 is provided.
Keywords: Microphalloidea, Pleurogenoides, Trematode, Wallago attu

| Title | : | Histochemical localization of Acid phosphatase in the tissues of Labeo rohita (Hamilton) |
| Country | : | India |
| Authors | : | Gunwant P. Gadekar || Vidya V. Baile |
Abstract:Acid phosphatases (AcPs) are known to provide phosphate to tissues that have high energy requirements, especially during development, growth and maturation. AcPs enzyme shows variations in quantity in reproductive phases in gonads, kidney and liver. AcPs is highest in both the sexes in postspawning phase and lowest in preparatory phase. In male, acid phosphatase activity is maximum in all three tissues i.e gonads, kidney and liver in postspawning phase and lowest in the preparatory phase as in female. AcPs staining was either granular or in diffuse form in brown deposits. This study is aimed on the estimation of activity of acid phosphatase in kidney, liver and gonads tissues of Labeo rohita.
Keywords: Acid phosphatase, Labeo rohita, Reproductive phases, Gonads

| Title | : | Concomitant use of Dopamine agonist Bromocriptine with Glimepride Improves Insulin Sensitivity in Type II Diabetic Patients |
| Country | : | Egypt |
| Authors | : | Abla M. Ebeid || Rania M. Khalil |
Abstract:Type -2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex syndrome originated by a multifactorial pathogenesis. Restoration of a normal glycaemia is very difficult and requires a multiple medication with different mechanismsof action that can be used in combination to produce an additive effect. Bromocriptine (BC) is a sympatholytic D2 dopamine agonist which can be used as an anti-diabetic agent with a novel mechanism of action in combination with a currently used drug glimepiride. Objective: The aim of this work is to study theeffect ofaddition of BC toglimepiride inuncontrolled type 2 diabetic patients treated with glimepiride.

Abstract:A study on the prevalence of urinary Schistosoma was carried out among patients attending Rasheed Shakoni Specialist Hospital, Dutse, Jigawa State, Nigeria. A total of 120 urine samples were collected and examined in the microbiology laboratory of Federal University Dutse, Jigawa State to determine the prevalence of Schistosoma infections. The collected samples were subjected to physical and chemical analyses; samples were centrifuged and microscopic analysis was carried out on the sediment. The result of physical analysis carried out in the urine sample shows that the age group 16-20 and 21-25 has the highest number of positive cases as compared to other age groups each with 5(4.7%) positive samples.
