Both time and concentrations had affected significantly the growth parameters of plants. Maximum days to flowering (42.67), fruit per plant (77.69), plant height (77.78 cm), fruit weight (71.15 gm), number of branches (12.33) per plant and iota! yield (26840 kg haG 1 ) were recorded in the plants sprayed with 60 mg/lit of gibberellic acid 10 days before transplantation, while minimum values were noted in controlled treatment. Maximum fruit drop per plant was found for control treatment and minimum for the plants treated with gibberellic acid at 60 mg/lit. It is suggested that tomato should be supplied with gibberellic acid at 60 mg/lit. 10 days before transplantation under the agroclimatic conditions of Peshawar.

Background: Dengue viral infection is a global public health issue. Several viral and other host factors are the contributed factors including the ABO blood group for transmission of dengue virus (DENV). ABO blood groups have been shown to involve in the intensity of DENV. This study aims to find the association ABO and Rh blood group with DENV infection. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in tertiary care hospital. All DENV NS-1 positive patients were included irrespective of age and gender. The blood group of all DENV-infected patients was determined through ABO and Rh anti-sera (forward blooding grouping). Descriptive data were analyzed through SPSS and Microsoft Excel. Results: Among a total of 105 dengue-infected patients, male were 68 patients and female were 37 patients. The highest number of cases were found in the age group 21-30 years and 11-20 years. The predominant blood group was found A positive in dengue viral infected patients while AB negative blood group was found common in Rh negative blood groups. Conclusion: Blood group A positive and AB negative patients in Rh positive and Rh negative blood groups had more risk of dengue viral infection as compared to other blood groups. Further studies are necessary to find the severity of patients with different blood groups. Based on their differential distribution in the community and their correlation with mosquito performance, it can be deduced that the risk of contracting dengue infection differs with the ABO and Rh blood groups. Additional study is necessary to determine whether HLA, dengue serotype, and ABO are experimental/predictor factors, and whether certain blood subgroups are associated with a disproportionately higher risk of dengue virus infection.

Background: Dengue viral infection is the most prevalent infection particularly in the months of September to December in different region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of dengue viral infection in district Peshawar. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted and recruited two hundred suspected dengue viral infected patients. Blood were collected for diagnosis of dengue viral infection through immunochromatograpy technique. All the collected data analyzed through Microsoft Excel 2020. Results: A total of 200 suspected dengue viral infected patients participated. Among total, 59.5% were male and 40.5% were female patients. Out of total, 61 were found positive through NS-1 strips. IgG antibodies were more found in male than female. Whereas, IgM antibodies were more prevalent found in female patients. Conclusion: Overall, the prevalence of dengue viral infection is more in our region. The prevalence of dengue viral infection is greater in male patients as compared to female patients. It is important to arrange different prevention programs including seminars, workshops and conference throughout the district. Implementation of control and surveillance programs are highly essential to determine regarding the dengue level. Health policy makers need to pay attention towards the dengue disease and to provide different training session to health care providers and physician.

Background: One of the major causes of mortality in females worldwide is breast cancer. It is evident from previous studies that breast cancer is significantly different clinicopathologically in young women than in older women. In contrast, other studies have found no such evidence. Objective: The current study's purpose was to compare breast cancer prevalence among young women to that in older patients regarding clinicopathological features and prognostic factors. Material and Methods: All the included patients with lesions in the breast were diagnosed via sonography/mammography and later subjected to histopathological biopsy. Who had undergone mastectomy or surgery for breast conservation, Adjuvant chemotherapy, tamoxifen, and radiation therapy as possible treatment choices. Tumour size, lymph node condition, histological grade, mitotic rate, oestrogen p53, the MIB-1 proliferation index, the prevalence of levels of estrogen receptors, c-erbB2 expression, and these components were analyzed using immunohistochemistry and histopathology. Prognostic comparisons were performed to those for women with this disease 60 years of age and older with a focus on it occurring or appearing again, Results: Clinical and pathological evaluations were performed on 40 patients with operable breast cancer under 40 and 80 patients older than 60 years. Elderly patients with breast cancer had a more aggressive phenotype than younger ones, with larger tumours (with 25 (31.25%) patients diagnosed with tumour size more than 5 cm), more lymph nodes involved, and greater levels of c-erbB2 (42 (52.5%) patients). However, these were typically only present in more advanced stages. Despite higher positive ER (34 (42.5%) patients) and PR (34 (42.5%) patients), additionally, a greater MIB-1 proliferation index (54 (67.5%) individuals) was observed in the elderly group compared to younger patients. Even though tamoxifen treatment and adjuvant chemotherapy became more popular. The rates of setback or re-appearing of the tumour, metastasis (30 (37.5%) individuals), and mortality (30 (37.50%) participants) were still more remarkable in elder patients. Conclusion: It is concluded that in Pakistan, the prognosis associated with breast cancer in young adults is poor. Keywords: p53, MIB Breast cancer, women – 40, fibroadenoma, papilloma
