ABSTRACT
The efficacy of Chrozophora plicata and Trianthema portuclacastrum extracts was investigated against Trogoderma granarium at 10%, 20% and 30% concentrations and 2, 4 and 6 days of exposure periods. It was found that T. portuclacastrum extract caused significantly higher larval mortality [37.47%] than C. plicata [27.03%]. Maximum number of T. granarium larvae [91.11% and 82.22%] was repelled when exposed to 30% concentration. A significant reduction in percentage larval emergence was also found in F1 generation. A decrease in the activity of Acetylcholine Esterase [AChE], Acid Phosphatase [ACP], Alkaline Phosphatase [AKP], ?-Carboxyl and ?-Carboxyl was also found. The FTIR analysis showed the presence of polyphenolic compounds in T. portuclacastrum extract. The overall results revealed that T. portuclacastrum extract was very effective against T. granarium than C. plicata
ABSTRACT
To identify the frequently associated problems of cerebral palsy in our setup. Descriptive case series. Department of Pediatrics, Allied Hospital Faisalabad during the period of 2005-2006, Two hundred children from 1 to 12 years of age of either sex who were diagnosed as cerebral palsy on the basis of history and clinical examination were included and associated problems were identified.
