Abstract: Introduction: The right treatment of male infertility is relatively costly procedure. So we should sincerer about the treatment procedure to evaluate the role of mast cell blocker ebastin in male infertility for the sake of the wellbeing of our people. The study aims to observe and evaluate the effect of Mast cell (MC) blocker Ebastin in the improvement of sperm motility in asthenospermic infertile male. Methods: This was a longitudinal clinical trial study and was conducted in the Infertility Unit outdoor, Department of obstetrics and gynecology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka. Bangladesh during the period from January 2015 to December 2015. This study was conducted among the male patients and followed Purposive sampling technique. Finally, 334 cases were enrolled in this study. Among the male with abnormal semen parameter 168 patients were Asthenozospermic and 60 patients were combined Oligo-asthenozospermic. Statistical analysis was carried out by using the SPSS 16.0 & MS-Excel2016. Result: From 334 study people we found in group I, mean sperm total mortality was 24.86±12.02% in pretreatment and 34.29±9.35% in post treatment. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). In group II, mean sperm total mortality was 21.96±6.17% in pretreatment and 22.44±4.81% in post treatment. The difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Improved sperm motility was 75.4% of asthenozospermic male in ebastin group and 19.3% in placebo group. Which was statistically significant (p<0.05). In group I, mean rapid progress was found 11.81±7.76% in pretreatment group and 19.99±11.31% in post treatment. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). In group II, mean rapid progress was found 11.25±1.67% in pretreatment group and 11.4±1.59% in post treatment. The difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Conclusion: that sperm motility and rapid progress had significantly improved after three months’ treatment period with Ebastin than Placebo. Therefore, this study suggested that mast cell blocker ebastin can be helpful than placebo to improve the patients’ sperm motility with asthenozoospermia.

Abstract: Many diabetic mellitus patients envision a non-invasive method of blood glucose measurement since they require periodic monitoring of their blood glucose levels to ensure that it is stable and within the normal range. In this study, we detected glucose concentration using commercial light emitting diodes (LEDs) with a wavelength of 700–1600 nm. Light of long wavelengths (e.g. NIR) infiltrate human skin and reach the blood vessel lining, thereby aiding in the non-invasive measurement of blood glucose concentration. To demonstrate this, the concentration of glucose solutions was measured using red and NIR-LEDs in a non-invasive manner. The sensitivity of glucose detection was greater when light of wavelength below 1000 nm was used, owing to the absorption of wavelengths above 1000 nm by water. Furthermore, we controlled the input current of the red and NIR-LEDs to confirm the light intensity deviation with increasing glucose concentrations and suggested the optimum wavelength of light using this in-vitro system. Among various LEDs, the 700 nm LED showed higher light intensity deviation with change in injection current compared to LEDs with the other wavelengths. In particular, compared to other LEDs, a stark difference was observed in the light intensity of the 700 nm LED while measuring glucose concentrations in the range of 50–100 mg/dl.

Abstract: Current frontiers in the biological sciences require an interface between the disciplines of biology and quantum physics to obtain new paradigms in the field of medical practice. Gemmotherapy is a more recent component of phytotherapy, which uses the embryonic tissues of plants, useful for their ability to detoxify cells, drainage of toxic products and for their anti-inflammatory effects. Starting from the fact that gemmotherapy is a type of energy medicine, we focused on some aspects regarding recent acquisitions related to energy and information. The primary element of the universe is energy, the carrier of information, and not material, and space is neither empty nor passive, but is full of virtual energies and information. Traditional medicine and scientific discoveries, from the last 100 years, have demonstrated the existence of a non-material fundamental force that supports all living organisms, namely the biofield. The biofield coordinates all cellular processes / DNA synthesis, RNA, cell division, cell differentiation, morphogenesis, psycho-neuro-endocrine-metabolic-immune regulation, biochemical reactions, the self-regulation / healing / and regeneration processes, which are under the direct command of the energy matrix. Biology is governed by the quantum process, and at its center is DNA. So we can say that man is an energy-informational entity, and the presence of coherent biofields indicates healthy organisms, while biofields affected by chaotic signals indicate diseased organisms. Gemmotherapy, like other types of alternative medicine, is guided by a deep knowledge of natural laws and aims to restore the dynamic energy balance, the basis of healing being provided by the living structures of plants. Having as intervention tool the body's own immune system, therapy with gemmotherapy extracts ensures the improvement of intercellular communication, according to the body's needs, through psycho-neuro-endocrine-immunological mechanisms, correcting the energy behavior of altered tissue, and thus biochemical reactions can be restored normal. Gemmotherapy restores the energy-informational matrix of the body by activating the energy control centers, stimulating the natural formation of stem cells and at the same time by stimulating the recovery processes of damaged and senescent tissues / cells/.

Abstract: Ascariasis is a disease caused by the parasite known as Ascaris lumbricoides. The adult worms are known to affect the nutritional status of patients, mostly children under the age of five (5), leading to malnutrition and night blindness due to Vitamin A deficiency. The long term effect of the malnutrition is retarded growth; other symptoms are intermittent colicky cramps, loss of appetite, and obstruction of the intestinal tract. In this paper, the prevalence of Acariasis in 15 communities across 3 local governments in Adamawa North Senatorial District, Adamawa State, Nigeria was reported. A total of 450 faecal samples were collected from the participants after obtaining permission from relevant authorities including parents and guardians of under-aged participants. The samples were then subjected to standard parasitological procedures such as direct mount and sedimentation method for detection of adult worms and eggs. The results obtained shows that Mubi-North (13.3%) recorded the highest prevalence compared to Mubi-South (11.1%) and Maiha (9.1). In relation to gender, the prevalence in males (37.3%) is slightly higher than that of females (28.9%). Lastly, the age-related prevalence shows that children of lower age groups are more infected than adults of higher age groups. Ascariasis is very common in communities with inadequate sanitation facilities, andit can be controlled through sensitization about improving personal hygiene and provision of portable water and sanitation facilities.
