A high index of suspicion, combined with meticulous review of clinical and radiological findings, is essential to make an accurate diagnosis of cervical pregnancy. The success of conservative treatment depends mainly on early diagnosis. Such cases would be best managed at specialist tertiary referral centers and preferably, where available, Early Pregnancy Assessment Units, whether medical, surgical, or combined treatment modalities were attempted.
Sugarcane is a long-duration crop of 10-12 months and therefore is liable to be attacked by several insect pests. The present study aimed at assessing the ovicidal, oviposition, and larvicidal potential of two medicinal indigenous plants. Bioefficacy of Nerium indicum Mill. and Murrya koenigii L. spreng leaves extracts were tested against Chilo auricilius D. sugarcane stalk borer. The plant extracts prepared by sequential extraction method using a different solvent like, petroleum, chloroform, methanol, distilled water, and acetone at different concentrations were used. Ovipositional behavior of adult moths and the hatching percentage of the eggs were recorded using the choice method for each fraction of the plant extract. The chloroform extract of N. indicum 2.66% eggs/female and chloroform/petroleum ether extracts of M. koenigii 9.33% eggs/female were found to be effective, and reduced oviposition as compared to other extracts. At 20% concentration, petroleum ether and distilled water extracts of N. indicum 52.00 and petroleum ether extract of M. koenigii gave the lowest larval survival (74.00,72.00 and 70.00%) after 24, 48, and 72 h of exposures, respectively. However, petroleum ether extract of N. indicum at 8, 10, and 20% concentration survival of three days old eggs were registered at 60, 58, and 56%, whereas petroleum ether extract of M. koenigii at similar concentration recorded 77, 47, and 72% survival.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
