We identified a strong relationship between IgG CMV (R2 = 0.041) and children gender (autism group). However, no other statistically significant variable was identified. Taken together, CMV infection in autism had high prevalence (98%) and have relationship with children gender in children with autism group. We found no additi...

...Additionally, the linear regression equations developed in this study for predicting the live body weight on heart girth, body length, and a combination of both were: y = -22.429 + 1.6830 x1, y = -19.99 + 1.7759 x2, and y = -23.060 + 0.5348 + 1.2422 x1x2, respectively, where y = body weight (kg), x1 = heart girth (inch), and x2 = body length (inch). In addition, Pearson correlation with body weight and other body measurements showed that heart girth ...

In conclusion, Awassi ewes with twin births exhibited an increase in the leptin and visfatin levels. This study provided valuable information about the association of litter size with adipose tissue hormones. This finding makes it a potential candidate for further research and application in sheep breeding and reproduction to improv...

...i aqueous extract on the regression of thyroid and hepatic tissues, as well as on oxidative stress markers induced by paracetamol (acetaminophen), a study was conducted on sixty male laboratory rats. The animals were equally divided into four experimental groups. The control group was orally treated with 0.9% normal saline solution. The second group was orally administered 1g/kg of paracetamol. The third study group was orally given 200 mg/kg of broccoli aqueo...

It was noted that progeny type showed a significantly higher association with the live body weight (P = 0.04, OR (95% CI) = 1.50 (1.08-3.24)), tail length (P = 0.03, OR (95% CI) = 1.69 (0.96-3.86)), and hormones leptin (P = 0.02, OR (95% CI) = 2.31 (1.51-5.18)) and visfatin (P = 0.01, OR (95% CI) = 2.03 (1.34-5.21)). In conclusion, levels of leptin and visfatin were found to be increased in Hamadani ewes with twin ...

The value of R2 shows variation in the model due to the independent variables. The main increase was observed in DAP, urea, NPK, pesticide cost and quantities. It is suggested that there is a need to lower the fertilizer prices, timely availability of fertilizer, pesticide, and seed. The reason for the decli...

The findings revealed that a significant proportion (72.8 percent) of the respondents held a moderately to highly unfavourable attitude towards government extension services. The key factors influencing farmers’ attitude were individual extension contact, training experience, educational qualification, farm size, annual income, and mass media contact, respectively. Thus, to enhance farmer engagement and trust...

Study findings reveal a valuable connection between cortisol levels and the economic impacts on sheep farming in terms of litter size and lamb weight. Consequently, cortisol may be a promising candidate for further research in sheep breeding and reproduction to enhance prolificacy.

... The study used multiple regression model for investigating how various forms of farm credit relate to crop yields across different crop categories using district-level data from 2010 to 2020. The study findings reveal that small-scale farm credit emerges as a potent driver that significantly boosted the production of food crops, cash crops, pulses, and oilseeds during the study period. A 10 percent increase in small-scale farm credit resulted in substantial p...
