Abstract: "Cuddle Hormone" or the "Love Hormone," (OXT) was discovered in 1835 by the great Italian scientist Nicholas Farraye. Oxytocin is apotent molecule with a unique and unusually broad profile of loving sense with biological and behavioral effects. In this Article we have discussed All about the importance of the hormone oxytocin in a person's experience of love. Oxytocin, also known as the "cuddle chemical", "plays an important role in romantic love, as a hormone that encourages cuddling between lovers and increases pleasure during lovemaking. The hormone stimulates the smoothmuscles and sensitizes the nerves, and snowballs during sexual arousal." Oxytocin is also linked to the feeling of "closeness" Since Oxytocin is released through physical touch, including "stroking, cuddling, hugging, kissing, or having sex", it can be concluded that it is also associated with the release of other distinct hormones in the body.................

Abstract: Aedes aegypti is an important vector of several arboviruses having significant impact on human populations on several continents. Increasing prevalence of pesticide resistance is of great concern to public health officials as is concern of environmental impact of pesticide spraying. A preliminary trial of a new pesticide, composed of a mix of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis and deltamethrin pesticides combined with an attractant bait are discussed. A camouflage system is discussed which may have military application in protecting military and sportsmen, such as campers and fisherman.
Keywords: Resistance, mosquito control, Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis, deltamethrin

Abstract: Some fungal endophytes were isolated from the roots of Ocimum gratissimum, Aloe barbadensis and Carica papaya. Four fungal endophytes, Trichoderma viride, Aspergillus fumigatus, and Aspergillus niger were randomly selected for fermentation and screening for antimicrobial activity against clinical and typed cultures including Staphylococcus aureus, Serratia marcescens and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Agar well diffussion method was utilised in the evaluation of the antimicrobial activity and it was discovered that each of the secondary metabolites showed antibacterial activities against the test bacteria. The result showed good prospects in the continual search for new antibacterial drugs.

Abstract: In recent years many researchers tried to find an accurate method to diagnose eye disease, researchers used different methods and devices for that. In this paper a method is present which depends on the details extracted from the topographic maps to detect Keratoconus (KC) that affects the cornea in diseased eye; with the help of image processing techniques. Twelve features have been extracted from topographic maps collected from the Pentacam which is a device that acquired maps of the cornea and provide an information of the health of the eye, and applying these features to the support vector machine SVM (which is a supervised classification) to detect whether the cornea is healthy or diseased. Results showed that there is accuracy 90% for the tested data.

Abstract: The structures of newly synthesized compounds were established on thebasis of elemental analyses, IR. The newly synthesized heterocyles were characterized basedon their chemical properties and spectroscopic data, and were found to difference in the reading prior to and after challenge represents the edema volume and the anti-anaphylactic effect was expressed as the percentage inhibition by using passive paw anaphylaxis in rats. Isoxazole derivatives have been prepared bycondensing alpha-naphtholwith acetic unhydriderespectively. While compounds have been synthesized by the reaction of3-(1-methoxy napthalen-2-yl)-5-phenylisoxazole.The compounds were screened for theiranti-inflammatory activities.

Abstract: Research was conducted to compare the growth of Agaricus bisporus under different substrates. The four substrates used in the experiment were: wheat straw, rice straw, sugarcane bagasse and maize straw. Chicken manure was used as a source of nitrogen. Dry weight, diameter of the basidiocarp, protein content, ash content and different minerals in the mushroom under different substrates were analyzed using, drying oven, microkjeldah method and atomic absorption spectrometry method. The mushroom yield was also calculated under different substrates. Incubation, spawning, casing and initiation were compared between A. bisporus and A. bitorquis under the same substrates. The obtained data was analyzed statistically using SPSS one-way ANOVA to reveal the slight changes in the tested parameters...........

Abstract: Abstract: Purtscher retinopathy is a retinal vasculopathy of often traumatic origin, usually occurring after head or chest trauma. It is clinically manifested by a decrease in visual acuity most often bilateral. The fundus is characterized by the presence of signs of ischemic retinopathy predominantly in inter-papilo-macular. The treatment of this condition is not yet codified; some authors have emphasized the importance of high-dose corticosteroid therapy whose efficacy remains hypothetical. The evolution is variable and the prognosis is essentially related to the degree of macular ischemia. We report the case of a 39-year-old patient presenting in the aftermath of a public road accident, a bilateral Purtschar retinopathy with macular edema that had evolved well under corticotherapy.
