Most probable number (MPN) test was done to detect the coliform in water samples collected from mobile vendors, sweet shops and tap water supplied from Burdwan municipality. The study revealed that the number of coliforms was very high ( 1600) in water samples collected from mobile vendors. The bacteria were identified as Escherichia coli. Bacteriological examination of water samples collected from different sources showed that the water of mobile vendors and sweet shops of Burdwan market area was not potable while the municipal tap water was found to be safe for drinking.
Background The near-death experiences (NDE) in dialysis patients of our country have not been previously studied. The objective of this study is to investigate the characteristics of NDEs in patients on dialysis. Materials and Methods We performed a cross sectional study of the adult patients of chronic kidney disease stage 5 without dialysis and on dialysis who survived cardiac arrest by cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as per ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) guidelines and who sustained pulseless ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation and received CPR and/or direct cardioversion. We used two scales, Greyson’s NDE scale and Ring’s Weighted Core Experience Index (WCEI). Results We performed the study between 2016 and 2018. A total of 29 patients were included. The data based on Greyson’s NDE scale and Ring’s Weighted Core Experience Index (WCEI)were collected. Conclusions Our study brings a perspective of NDE in CKD and dialysis patients. A similar study of NDE in dialysis patients should be considered by other nephrologists.
Variability, heritability and genetic advance were studied in eight varieties of toria (Brassica compestris var. toria). The genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) was highest for 1000 seed weight and high for number of primary and secondary branches per plant. The highest phenotypic coefficient of Variation (PCV) was observed for number of secondary branches followed by number of capsules per plant, number of primary branches per plant, 1000 seed weight and number of seeds per capsule. The highest heritability was observed for 1000 seed weight followed by plant height, number of primary branches per plant, days to maturity and number of seeds per capsule. The genetic advance as % of mean was observed highest for 1000 seed weight and high for plant height and number of primary branches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
