Medicinal plants play a significant role in the treatment of different ailments. The present study aims to evaluate the medicinal plant species utilized for the treatment of various disorders by various ethnic communities of the Pir Panjal mountain system in north-western Kashmir Himalaya. The data was collected from September 2020 to August 2021 t...

Acute myocardial infarction (MI) can result in varying degrees of heart block, most commonly in inferior wall MI. Identifying the reversibility of complete heart block (CHB) is crucial for guiding clinical management, particularly in determining the need for temporary or permanent pacemaker implantation. Objective: To determine the frequency of rev...

Antiplatelet therapy is a cornerstone in managing patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to prevent thrombotic complications. Prasugrel and clopidogrel are two commonly used agents, but their comparative efficacy and safety remain a subject of ongoing research, particularly in elective PCI cases. Objective: This study aimed to...

In an era of global environmental change, the treeline shift triggered by recent climate warming has been reported worldwide. However, it is still unknown how site-specific microclimatic conditions regulate the soil-vegetation relationship at treelines, which constrains our capacity to down-scale broad global trends in the treeline shift at regiona...

Treeline ecotones, the transition zone between the upper closed forest limit (timberline) and treeless alpine vegetation, are the most conspicuous features of mountain ecosystems around the world. Understanding the patterns of plant species richness in the treeline ecotones is crucial in accurately assessing and monitoring the treeline shifts and v...

Noise exposure has reached an alarming degree over the years because of rapid growth in the industry, transportation, and urbanization. Therefore, it is a dire need to provide awareness of the sources and mitigation strategies of noise, and to highlight the health, and socioeconomic impacts of noise. A few research studies have documented this emer...

Globally, the treelines at higher elevations in mountains are reported to be advancing up-slope in response to recent climate warming. However, little is known about the treeline advancement in the Himalaya due to paucity of baseline vegetation data with which to compare, thus making their assessment and monitoring challenging. To fill this knowled...

Background: In Islam, nature feeds the incorporeal and physical needs of humankind. From the Quranic point of view, humans are created to serve the creator which actually intends to serve the highest quality for themselves, the community, and the world. This point of view is part of the establishment of Islamic environmental ethics. The posture of...

Environmental and toxicological problems have significantly increased from the last couple of decades due to non-judicial agrochemicals. There is a drastic decrease in the growth and yield of most crops due to diseases and infections, and globally the insects and pests reduce the overall crop production by nearly 20%. In the wake of all this, the n...

Soil health management is essential for ensuring optimum crop and ecological diversity. Fertilizers emerged as necessary evil for crop industry, particularly the synthetic fertilizers which tend to persist in the soil system, affecting both soil microbial flora and fauna, thus damaging the soil health. Soil health is affected by a broad range of so...

This review deals with the interaction between solid waste and climate change. Unaccountable dump structures or even some landfills do not include methane collecting systems, in developing countries. In this condition, the greenhouse gas escapes to the atmosphere. The methane emissions from landfills in India are ranked second next only to coal min...

The concentrations of micronutrients and rare earth elements in soil profile of paddy fields in Kulgam district (J&K) were assessed in this study. Standard methodology was adopted to analyse the soil samples using WDXRF. The concentrations of various elemets in the paddy soil profile were recorded in the order of Zn(79.3 ppm)> Ni (47 ppm) >Cu (31.5...

This review article will offer compelling evidence that global climate change caused by global warming is already underway and is need of our immediate attention. Convincing evidence that the Earth's climate is undergoing significant and alarming, changes has accumulated rapidly in recent years, especially during the past three decades. The conclus...

Cadmium (Cd) toxicity is one of the major abiotic stresses that adversely affect the growth, development, productivity of crop plants. It is highly soluble in water and therefore is an extremely powerful pollutant. Cadmium disturbs the function of chloroplasts by accumulating to higher levels in aerial parts. It inhibits the enzymes needed for chlo...
