Phosphorus availability for soybean growth is frequently low because P reacts with iron, aluminum and calcium in soil to form insoluble phosphates. The increasing price of phosphatic fertilizers is a major obstacle faced by farmers for application of recommended P doses. Low yield of soybean in Pakistan is also lowering adoption by farmers of this oilseed crop. These issues could be solved by inoculation of beneficial microorganisms that enhance the availability of N and P to the plant. Here, we tested the effect of inoculation of Bradyrhizobium or Pseudomonas, or both, in the presence and absence of P 2 O 5 fertilizer, on soybean yield. Experiments were carried out in pots and the field during 2004 and 2005 under natural conditions. The bacterial strains were applied in broth culture in the pots at the seedling stage or as a seed treatment in the field. Our results showed that co-inoculation of Bradyrhizobium and Pseudomonas strains with the P 2 O 5 treatment resulted in increased grain yield of 38% in pot experiments and 12% in the field experiment, compared with the P 2 O 5 treatment alone. Bradyrhizobium japonicum strain TAL 377 produced 74.64 µg/mL indole acetic acid and 261.2 µg/mL gibberellic acid. Similarly, Pseudomonas strain 54RB produced 8.034 µg/mL indole acetic acid and 1766 µg/mL gibberellic acid. The survival efficiency of Bradyrhizobium was up to 46% higher due to co-inoculation and P 2 O 5 as compared with its single inoculation. On the other hand, Pseudomonas survival efficiency was up to 33% higher with added P 2 O 5 as compared with its single inoculation.

Pregnancy is associated with alterations in haematological and oxidative stress parameters as physiological adjustments are made to accommodate the increasing demand from the fetus and the maintenance of maternal wellbeing. In this cross-sectional study, baseline values for haematological and oxidative stress changes were evaluated in pregnant women attending an ante-natal clinic at selected private clinics in Lahore. A total of 100 subjects (80 pregnant women and 20 non-pregnant women) were recruited for the study. Haematological and oxidative stress parameters were determined following standard protocols. When comparing pregnant and non-pregnant women's white blood cell, neutrophil, monocytes, and catalase mean values (p 0.05), it was observed that the pregnant women's eosinophil mean values were lower than those of the non-pregnant control (p 0.05). During the third trimester, neutrophils and catalase levels were significantly higher in the pregnant group than they were in the non-pregnant group (p 0.05) Compared to catalase, superoxide dismutase was shown to be adversely associated with both mean cell volume and haemoglobin concentration. Other variables studied were mean haemoglobin, mean haemoglobin concentration, total white blood cell and neutrophil counts, and mean cell volume.s There was a negative correlation between glutathione and neutrophils and monocytes whereas a positive correlation was found between malondialdehyde and the mean cell haemoglobin content, total white blood cell, monocyte, eosinophil, and basophil count. According to the findings of this study, pregnant women's haematological parameters may be affected by oxidative stress. Keywords: Haematology, pregnancy, oxidative stress, antioxidant enzymes

Objective: The main objective of the study is to find the exercise electrocardiogram testing in asymptomatic patient with Type-II diabetes and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in DHQ Hospital, Sheikhupura during January 2019 to November 2019. The data was collected from 50 patients of type II DM. These all patients has normal electrocardiogram (ECG) and normal systolic function. Result: The data was collected from 50 patients of both genders. The mean age of the patients was 47.83±5.61 years. After getting data the results were divided into two parts. There were 25 patients in group A and 25 patients group B. The mean duration of diabetes is 2.5±5.61 years. There were 20 males and 30 females in this data. There were no significant difference of fasting blood sugar in both groups. There was no statically significant difference between two groups regarding left atrial dimension, aortic root dimension, LV end-diastolic dimension, ejection and LV mass. Conclusion: It is concluded that It is concluded that coronary supply route sicknesses is a typical issue in DM, with diastolic brokenness and increment uniquely in patients with positive pressure practice electrocardiography.
