BARI Garlic-2) to zinc, boron, and poultry manure application along with a blanket dose of 150 kg N, 50 kg P, 100 kg K, and 40 kg S/ha was evaluated through field trials in the Grey Terrace Soil under AEZ 25 (Level Barind Tract) at Spices Research Centre, Bogra during two consecutive rahi seasons (2005-2006 and 2006-2007). Application of zinc, boron, and poultry manure significantly had increased plant height, number of leaves/plant, cloves/bulb, diameter, and weight of bulb and yield/ha in both years. The highest bulb yields of 6.10 t/ha in 2005-2006 and 6.23 t/ha in 2006-2007 were obtained from the Zn 5 B 1 kg/ha plus 5 t/ha poultry manure treatment and it was significantly higher over all other treatments. Next to it, the treatment Zn 5 B 1 kg/ha plus 2.5 t/ha poultry manure gave the highest bulb yield (5.99 t/ha in 2005-2006 and 6.00 t/ha in 2006-2007). The highest gross margin of Tk. 230594/ha in 2005-2006 and Tk. 234095/ha in 2006-2007 along with lower marginal rate of return (65 and 163%) were obtained with Zn 5 B 1 kg/ha plus 5 t/ha poultry manure treatment. This treatment was not economical because of the higher cost involvement. Application of Zn at 5 kg/ha along with blanket dose of N,

The most severely affected province is the North West Frontier Province, which has districts of low socioeconomic status such as those in Dir. The purpose of this study was to analyze the cancer registry record of patients from the districts in Dir in order to obtain a net cancer incidence for use in proposing future health plans. Methods: The medical records of 1,105 patients registered at the Institute of Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine in Peshawar were traced. Information regarding age, gender and affected sites were obtained. Results: The incidence of cancer increased, with a mean incidence of 15.04 per 100,000 in 2000-2004. Of the 1,105 patients, 62% were male and 38% were female. The most affected female age groups were 41-50 and 51-60; while males in the age groups of 51-60 and 61-70 had the highest risk. The leading cancers were lymph/blood, and cancers of the digestive system, skin and breast. Conclusion: The increasing trend of cancer in Dir is alarming. Since this study was a preliminary investigation, it could provide a leading role in prevention, treatment and future planning regarding cancer in Pakistan. [

Such a system is based on a group of stress genes, which show rapid responses in form of stress proteins, especially heat shock proteins, when cells are confronted with insult. Heat shock proteins are now known to express in response to variety of toxic and stress conditions including diseases. As a molecular chaperone, against cytotoxicity, these ensure the functional ability of cells by repairing the denatured proteins, cellular structures like cytoskeleton and centrosomes and processes dealing with protein synthesis are stabilized or repaired during a second stress in stress tolerant cells and organisms. In unstressed cells these play an imperative role in the synthesis and transport of normal proteins. Their role in certain diseases reveals their potential application in medical field. Certain Hsp are helpful in coping carcinogenicity caused environmental pollutants and have been suggested to have anti-apoptotic, anti stress and anti-allergic function. Their expression is tissue and species specific with respect to type, intensity and duration of a toxicant. These are developmentally regulated and help in process of differentiation and thus their abnormal regulation impairs the normal development. However, their role as biomarker in risk assessment of environmental pollution warrants further research. Due to broad functional range, therefore, present review is embracing the functional aspects of smaller and Hsp70 families expressing in animals under toxic conditions.

Methods: It was a cross-sectional study. It was carried out over a period of one year (June 2008 to May 2009). The following institutions took part in the study: Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Quaid-e-Azam Medical College, Paramedical and Nursing Schools and Female Jubilee Hospital. A total of one hundred and ninety four (194) Doctors and Paramedics (Nurses and Dispensors) working in the institutions included in study were selected by simple random sampling technique. Demographic, anthropometric, and biochemical data were recorded, lifestyle features were inquired about, and the level of awareness regarding MetS was surveyed. The criteria recommended by the Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III were used for the diagnosis of MetS. The presence of MetS was evaluated in all (194) subjects. Results: Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed in 29 participants (14.95%), and there was no statistically significant difference between men and women in this respectAt least three criteria of MetS were correctly listed by 36 participants (18.56%), with physicians showing significantly higher awareness levels (p<0.001). The frequency of abdominal obesity was 22.68% and it was significantly higher in males than in females (29.29% vs 14.74%; p<0.001). Conclusion: Current study shows that only a minority of medical community are aware of MetS as a clinical entity. Nurses and other paramedics are unaware of the problem.

The presence of arsenic in subsurface aquifers and drinking water systems is a potentially serious human health hazard. The current population growth in Pakistan and other developing countries will have direct bearing on the water sector for meeting the domestic, industrial and agricultural needs. Pakistan is about to exhaust its available water resources and is on the verge of becoming a water deficit country. Water pollution is a serious menace in Pakistan, as almost 70% of its surface waters as well as its groundwater reserves have contaminated by biological, organic and inorganic pollutants. In some areas of Pakistan, a number of shallow aquifers and tube wells are contaminated with arsenic at levels which are above the recommended USEPA arsenic level of 10 ppb (10 g L −1). Adverse health effects including human mortality from drinking water are well documented and can be attributed to arsenic contamination. The present paper reviews appropriate and low cost methods for the elimination of arsenic from drinking waters. It is recommended that a combination of low cost chemical treatment like ion exchange, filtration and adsorption along with bioremediation may be useful option for arsenic removal from drinking water.
