Recent Biochemical Markers for Cardiovascular Diseases: Diagnostic and Prognostic Implications | Chapter 7 | Current Practice in Medical Science Vol. 11

 The major cause of death and morbidity worldwide is cardiovascular disease. A better prognosis may result from early detection of a potential CVD risk and early care. Cardiac biomarkers are crucial in the early diagnosis within the "golden period" in order to carry out an early intervention and maybe undo cardiac damage. The potential biochemical markers linked to heart tissue, inflammation, and underlying metabolic processes have been identified in numerous studies and may help in the clinical evaluation of the population at risk or who is at vulnerability. This chapter gives a general overview of the cardiac biomarkers that are frequently utilised for CVD risk assessment as diagnostic and prognostic tools.

A Case Study on Fish Farming - A Boon to Enhance Farmer’s Income and Employment Generation in Saline and Sodic Soil | Chapter 8 | Research Aspects in Agriculture and Veterinary Science Vol. 4

 Fish farming on saline-sodic soil is crucial for human nutrition as well as the country's rural economy. A thorough ecological strategy and the development of new systems are required for the management of water-logged saline and sodic soil. Fish farming is thriving in salty and sodic areas, and it is a lucrative business for farmers. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of fish farming on farmer income and employment in saline and sodic soils. Mr.R.Fedrick Nickson is a progressive farmer who has adopted inland fish farming for a sustainable livelihood under sodic soil. He began fish farming on a small scale (0.2 ha) in 1993 with the technical assistance of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Tiruchirappalli, and has since grown into a successful producer of high-quality fish. He became motivated, and on average, he harvested 2 t/ha/year of fish, which is a far higher yield. From 2014 forward, he established a fingerlings production operation on an area of 0.8 ha, harvesting 2 lakh no./year/ha. Mr.R.Fedrick Nickson earns a net annual revenue of Rs.2 lakh/ha/year from the sale of fish and quality fingerlings, according to the scientific validation of the study. As a result, he creates an additional 1099 man-days of employment per year. Furthermore, he is encouraging interested farmers (200 rural kids) to start fish farming on their own farms through training, so that the farming community can benefit in both normal and sodic soil. The current study found that the benefit-cost ratio (2.0:1) of fish farming was significantly higher than that of agriculture (1.6:1), and that it has the potential to boost the Indian economy, which is a critical need today, as well as serve as an environmentally friendly venture for rural populations in saline and sodic areas.

Review: Early Detection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in Pigs Using Tracheo-bronchial Swab Sampling under Field Conditions | Chapter 7 | Research Aspects in Agriculture and Veterinary Science Vol. 4

 TBS sampling (tracheobronchial swab) is a fast, accurate, and animal-friendly method of diagnosing Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in the respiratory system (M. hyopneumoniae). This study covers a wide range of M. hyopneumoniae diagnostic procedures, including clinical symptoms, necropsy, microscopy, and pathogen detection using immunohistochemistry, culture, and PCR. Following that, TBS for the early detection of M. hyopneumoniae in pigs with clinical symptoms of respiratory distress from 2 weeks of age onwards is presented, along with its development, validation, and obtained findings. The TBS approach can detect an epidemic of clinical disease caused by M. hyopneumoniae at an early stage, in addition to early detection related to age category. Future prospects for TBS use in diagnostic ideas, epidemiology, and gilt adaptation processes are also highlighted.

Early Detection and Prevention of Myopia in Children | Chapter 13 | Current Approaches in Science and Technology Research Vol. 14

Childhood myopia is a key predictor of progressive myopia and the potentially severe ocular co morbidities associated with it, according to our understanding of the dynamic relationship between the eye's growth and its ability to adjust to retain vision. Myopia has become more common in recent years all around the world. According to previous research, the fastest developing phase for adolescent myopia is between the ages of 9 and 16. In addition to hereditary variables, the environment plays a significant role in the development of myopia. Previous research has shown that parental myopia, even in just one parent, increases the likelihood of juvenile myopia. In order to design a better preventative and treatment plan, we must first gain a better understanding of this process and its risk factors. The epidemiology, risk factors, and current therapy regimens for minimising myopic development will be discussed in this article [1].
