However, student involvements and contributions are important in combating the disease for this reason current study was designed to assess the knowledge-attitude-practice (KAP), preventive behavior, and risk perception among university students. Methods: A cross-sectional survey-based study was conducted among university students of Punjab, Pakistan from April 1st to June 30th, 2020. The 68 items questionnaire was used to evaluated responses using statistical approaches (student’s t-test, regression-analysis and co-relation analysis) by considering p-value <0.05 statistically significant. Results: A total of 503 university students (medical and non-medical) were selected with the majority of participants were females (83%) and 64.5% were of age ranged from 16 to 21 years old. The participants (80%) reported good disease knowle...

To feed the individuals, today, it is the dire need to increase the production of crops. To get the maximum production of the crops, Nitrogen is one of the essential critical factors. Up to an optimum level, by increasing the nitrogen quantity, total output is also increased. Moreover, by volume, 78% Nitrogen is present in the air, but it is not assimilated directly by plants. To increase the production, it is necessary to use the synthetic nitrogenous fertilizers. Inorganic fertilizer’s use has been increased to the dangerous level. Plants do not absorb all the applied nitrogen. Excessive application of nitrogen is leached down and it is the main reason to cause environmental problems, like eutrophication as well as human health problems. Hence, it is quite important to adopt efficient agricultural practices to increase nitrogen use efficiency.

Aim: To provide guidelines to effectively manage the post-operative functional complications. Method: Sixty-four patients with the distal humerus fractures were treated surgically, participated in the study at the mean follow up of 6 months. Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS), Disabilities of the Arm shoulder and Hand (DASH), Visual Analogue Scale and Goniometer, radiographic evaluation was done to assess outcomes at baseline (2nd week after cast removal), 10th week &6th month post-operative. Results: Among 60 patients, average MEPS, DASH, Arc of motion was significantly better in supervised rehabilitation group in contrast with home-based rehabilitation group (p=0.0...
