Background Epilepsy is a chronic condition characterized by unusual, frequent, excessive, and self-terminating neuronal firing. Adherence to medication is crucial to achieve the intended therapeutic outcome. However, not much research has been done on drug adherence in our context. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the antiseizure m...
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypothyroidism are two prevalent endocrine disorders that significantly impact global health. The link between Diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism is multifaceted, with emerging evidence suggesting a bidirectional relationship between the two disorders. Objectives: This study aims to investigate the prevalenc...

Self-medication is increasingly popular among people in developing nations like Nepal where the expense of healthcare is relatively high and over-the-counter) medications are widely and easily accessible. Although this method has certain advantages, it is also clear that it has some drawbacks, including the potential for adverse drug rea...
Tree bark contains anti-microbial, antioxidant, and anticancer compounds and are therefore widely used by pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food industries as raw materials. Bark provides raw materials for adhesives, insulating materials, and even water purification. The article reviews the utilization of tree bark as a source of green chemicals and a...
Wood waste has the potential to be used in making a variety of goods, including engineered wood products, energy generation (heat and electricity), mulching, and animal bedding. These inexpensive and underutilized feedstocks have the potential to increase the added value of wood wastes. This paper aims to review the different possibilities on wood...
Wood anatomical traits of xylem are the characteristics of tree rings at cellular and subcellular scales providing important insights on structural features and their linkage to the environment. Therefore, studying the relationship between anatomical traits and environmental changes not only provide physiological explanations, but also provide a ne...
Medicinal plants, are subjected to a variety of environmental stresses during their growth. Different factors including temperature, carbon dioxide, lighting, ozone, soil water, soil salinity and soil fertility has significant impact on medicinal plants' physiological and biochemical responses. Secondary metabolites (SMs) are useful for assessing t...
Tree growth at high altitude in the Himalayan region is limited by cold temperatures and also strongly influenced by the seasonality of the Asian monsoon. Understanding whether the ongoing increase in temperatures and changes in precipitation regimes in the Himalayan region can stimulate or limit tree growth is of particular importance to predict t...
The Himalayas is one of the most ecologically sensitive and fragile areas in the world. The climate of the region is dominated by the monsoon seasonality, with typical dry winters and abundant summer precipitations. Here, forest vegetation spreads up to the world's highest elevations, where cold temperatures and early spring droughts represent the...
A complex relationship between the residents and protected areas continue to be an obstacle to successful conservation of protected areas. Conflicts between park authority and people living around the park pose a threat to conservation. Moreover, crop depredation due to wildlife incurs a severe economic loss to communities living in the close vicin...
The study was undertaken to investigate the physico‐chemical properties of pine needle in the preparation of biomass briquettes. Pine Needle Briquettes (PNB) were prepared using the piston press mold with clay as binder in the ratio of 80:20. Both the physical and combustion properties of the pine needle and pine needle briquettes were carried out...
The present study describes the structural and floral composition of the vegetation of Sikre Village Development Committee (VDC) at Shivapuri National Park. Systematic sampling technique was used to analyze the vegetation of the forest. A quadrat size of 10mx10m was plotted at respective point for tree study and within 5mx5m plots for shrubs and 1m...
