Among some water resources groundwater is one of the most significant ones in this country but unfortunately is being contaminated by the toxic metal ions. The present article describes the status of groundwater contamination by toxic metal ions. The meal ions analysed in the groundwater of KSA are Al,

We conducted a retrospective study of infants in this age group who were found to be SARS-CoV-2 positive. Asymptomatic infants who were identified through routine testing following delivery to COVID-19-positive mothers were excluded. We classified infants according to their presentation: asymptomatic, mildly symptomatic, moderately symptomatic, and severely/critically symptomatic. A total of 36 infants were included. Of them, two were asymptomatic and four had severe/critical presentation. Of the severely symptomatic infants, two were considered as multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and there was one death. One infant in the severe symptomatic group presented with cardiac failure, with the possibility of congenital infection. Another infant presented with cardiogenic shock. None o...

Oral administration of 150mg/kg of aqueous oral administration of aqueous pod extract of phaseolus vulgaris to diabetic rats for 40days resulted in a significant decrease in blood glucose (p<001), cholesterol (P<0.01) and triglycerides (P<0.01). In addition, glibenclamide reduced blood glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides. It is concluded that both aqueous extract of casing of pods of phaseolus vulgaris and glibenclamide reduced the blood levels of glucose and lipids. In addition, aqueous extract of phaseolus vulgaris pods was more effective than glibenclamide in reducing blood glucose.
