Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of Stimulant Medications in Pediatric ADHD: Population-Based Cohort Study with Systematic Review

Original Research Article /

ADHD constitutes prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder affecting 5.29% children globally [1]. Core symptoms (hyperactivity, impulsivity, inattention) manifest across multiple settings causing significant cognitive, academic, behavioral impairment [9]. Untreated trajectory includes academic failure, social dysfunction, risk-taking behaviors [12]. Stimulantmedications modulate dopamine/norepinephrine neurotransmission representing first-line pharmacotherapy despite tachycardia, hypertension, psychosis concerns [3,4]. This systematic review synthesizes comprehensive long-term safety evidence […]

Evaluation of Biomass Stock in Two Differently Managed Forests of Nepal: A Case Study from Sindhupalchok District, Nepal

Original Research Article /

1. Introduction A carbon sink is a carbon pool from which more carbon flows in than out [1-3]. Forests can act as sink through the process of tree growth and resultant biological carbon sequestration. Activities like afforestation, reforestation (AR), sustainable forest management (SFM), and Conservation and Enhancement of forests acts as carbon sinks. Carbon source

Quantification of Above- and Below-Ground Carbon Stocks in Selected Community Forests of Nepal: A Case Study from Community Forest and Government Managed Forest of Sindhupalchok District, Nepal

Original Research Article /

1. Introduction Carbon is the term used for the C stored in terrestrial ecosystems, as living or dead plant biomass (aboveground and belowground) and in the soil. C=(0.50)*biomass. This means about 50% of plant biomass consists of Carbon [1-4]. To convert carbon in to CO2, the tones of carbon are multiplied by the ratio of

Spatial Distribution and Seasonal Periodicity of Freshwater Algae in Telangana Lakes

Original Research Article /

INTRODUCTION:- Phytoplankton are photosynthetic floating organisms in aquatic environments both freshwater and seawater. Plankton algae are microscopic suspended plants that live at the mercy of the water movements .[1] Their photosynthetic activities remove carbon dioxide from the environment and release oxygen, thus they are responsible for mitigating some of the effects of increased carbon dioxide

Qualitative and Quantitative Phytochemical analysis, Fluorescence Study and TLC of Barleria prionitis L. and B. cristata L. (Acanthaceae)

Original Research Article /

Medicinal plants represent a rich reservoir of bioactive compounds that play a vital role in traditional healthcare systems and modern drug discovery. Members of the family Acanthaceae are widely recognized for their therapeutic applications, largely attributed to their diverse secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, terpenoids, glycosides, and steroids [1,2]. Barleria prionitis L. and B.

Algae: A Prospective Source for Nanoparticle Production with Some Potential Applications and Limitations

Original Research Article /

INTRODUCTION “Nanos”—”dwarf” in Greek—is the origin of the prefix “nano” in nanotechnology. According to Hulkoti, a nanometer is any man-made substance with a size or dimension smaller than one billionth of a millimeter (10−9 m). Advancements in nanotechnology, such as the creation, application, and utilization of nanomaterials in biological research, have resulted from the collaboration

Therapeutic Potential of Phytochemicals in Medicinal Plants: A Nutritional and Pharmaceutical Perspective

Review Article /

Introduction Phytochemicals are bioactive compounds synthesized by plants as secondary metabolites, distinct from primary metabolites essential for basic plant functions such as carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids [1]. These natural substances play crucial roles in plant defense mechanisms against environmental stressors, pathogens, and herbivores (Kumar et al., 2023). Recent scientific investigations have established strong correlations between

Seed Extract and Fractions of Telfairia OccidentalisAttenuated Doxorubicin-Induced Testiculotoxicity in Rats

Original Research Article /

Doxorubicin, an anthracycline glycoside antibiotic with broad-spectrum of activity against various human solid tumors and hematological malignancies [7], but limited clinical usefulness due to its diverse toxicities, including cardiac, hepatic, hematological, and testicular toxicity [58]. The toxic, short-lived metabolite, semiquinone form of doxorubicin, triggers the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through cascades of events.
