ABSTRACT — In the present investigation, it was revealed that treatment with paclobutrazol (PBZ) @ 2.5, 5.0, 10 and 20 µg mL–1 resulted in shoot length and shoot dry weight to decrease significantly under normal condition, but increased significantly in salinity (4 dSm-1 and 8 dSm-1) with respect to control. Treatment with PBZ resulted in significant increase in root length and root dry weight as compared to control under both normal (PBZ) and saline conditions. Total chlorophyll was recorded to increase significantly at vegetative and flowering stages as compared to control. Hydrogen peroxide decreased significantly at vegetative and flowering stages. Treatment with PBZ resulted in significant increase in protein and total sugar content at
vulgaris plants, via the formation of a standard curve prepared using varying concentrations of bovine serum albumin (BSA) solution. Following absorbance readings of the various BSA solutions, they were plotted against their concentrations providing an indirect measure for determining protein concentrations of the plant samples within the assay tubes, and through further calculations the sample protein concentration. The mean protein concentration for the control group was calculated to be 3.34 ± 1.30 mg/mL, while the mean treated group concentration was 2.01 ± 1.26 mg/mL. These results similarly like the chlorophyll results correlate with the literature articles, as a reduced protein content within the Paraquat treated plants can be expected to some extent (Chia et al., 1981). This reduction in protein concentration is the result of those superoxide anions produced by Paraquat, disrupting the chloroplast membranes and allowing for intracellular components including some proteins to leak out, hence the decrease in protein concentration in comparison to the non-treated plants (Qian et al., 2009). A slight outlier may exist within the treated groups protein concentrations as one of the groups provided a negative value for protein concentration which is not valid, but even after exclusion of that data value, results are still supportive of the expected outcome. Though these results support the claim of Paraquat toxicity causing membrane deterioration and leakiness, protein concentration values are rather more purposeful when used to analyze malondialdehyde (MDA) values on per mg of protein
Texas Legislature passed the first Texas Pharmacy Act in 1907 in order to bring consistency and centralization to pharmacy practice regulation. The Act established the Texas State Board of Pharmacy as an independent state regulatory board responsible for the licensing or registration of Texas pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies. Its mission is to promote, preserve, and protect the public health, safety, and welfare by promoting the development of quality pharmaceutical care to the citizens of Texas through there regulation of the practice of pharmacy, operation of pharmacies, and distribution of prescription drugs in the public interest. The Board consist of eleven members appointed by the governor with the approval of the Senate

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADHD, is one of the most frequent psychiatric conditions recognized in children (Am, 2007). There are concerns with over-diagnosing children with ADHD and over-treating them with medication, even among some professionals. Society is often unaware of the effects of pharmacological treatment for children with this disorder and early health interventions. Through research, this paper will address the long-term effects of pharmacological treatment for children with ADHD. Despite the fact that symptoms are relieved by medication, the question that still remains is how health and educational outcomes are affected by pharmacological treatment? Conversely, several medications and their side

Clopidogrel is a medication used to restrain blood clusters for those patients experiencing coronary course illness and other circulatory infections prompting to strokes and heart assaults. Smoking appears to help clopidogrel carry out its occupation better.
Controlled substances, including methamphetamine, marijuana, cocaine and other drugs, are illegal in the state of Texas. The penalties for possessing such substances can be serious, with life changing effects. When people stand accused of manufacturing these drugs, however, the potential consequences are even more severe.

Abstract: Human Pharmaceuticals have been found in today’s environment due to the lack of knowledge on how to dispose of them properly. Experiments carried out to measure the effects of ibuprofen subjected radish to .002 M concentration of ibuprofen soltion twice a week over the course of three weeks. Growth rates were compared to see if ibuprofen had any effect on peroxidase activity and growth rate. By statistically using ANOVA it was found that Ibuprofen does not affect plant peroxidase but does affect growth levels.
Naproxen (Naprosyn) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) used to treat joint pain. M.H. was previously prescribed Naproxen to reduce the bilateral wrist pain and associated inflammation. Naproxen is mainly used to reduce inflammation, stiffness, and pain. NSAIDs block the formation of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are involved in the body’s normal function and inflammatory response. Proteins, Cox-1 and Cox-2, control these prostaglandins. Cox-1 controls the formation of the prostaglandins involved in the normal function of the body’s organs. Cox-2 controls the formation of the prostaglandins involved in the body’s inflammatory response. By preventing the body from producing prostaglandins, NSAIDs reduce swelling and pain.

Allelopathy originates from the Greek language; Allele means two sided harm, and pathy means suffering (Willis, 2010). The release of chemicals by one plant that can affect the growth of another plant is called allelopathy (Ferguson, 2003). The chemicals released from a plant which possess allelopathic influences are termed allelochemicals or allelochemics (Johnson J, 2012). Different parts of a plant can secret allelochemicals. They can also be released naturally (Cipollini, 2012). They can be found in leaves, pollens, roots, fruits, or stems (Martin, 2012). According to Heisey (1996), species can be affected by these chemicals in many different ways. The toxic chemicals may inhibit shoot or root growth, they may inhibit the uptake of food, or they may disrupt a symbiotic relationship thereby destroying the plant's usable source of a nutrient. Allelopathic plants may also have beneficial effects (Cipollini, 2012). They are used as a means of survival in nature, and decrease the competition between plants nearby. According to James J (2003), chemicals found to inhibit the growth of a species at a certain concentration may stimulate the growth of the same species or another at a lower concentration. For example, many trees use allelopathy to protect their space by using their roots to pull more water from the soil so other plants cannot thrive (Willis, 2010). In other words, some use their allelochemicals to inhibit germination or to prevent development
austriacum were taken as explants. The result of the present study shows that TDZ is most effective for direct shoot regeneration from decapitated cotyledonary-stage seedlings and cotyledon explants. Experiments on the decapitated cotyledonary-stage seedlings and cotyledon explants demonstrated that the greatest shoot formation was on the medium containing 0.25 mg l-1 and 0.5 mg l-1 TDZ, respectively. Thidiazuron (TDZ), a substitute of phenyl urea (N-phenyl-1,2,3–thidiazol-5-ylurea) is a potent cytokinin used in experiments related to in vitro shoot induction (Mok et al., 1982; Thomas et al. 1986) and its ability to induce multiple shoot formation has been demonstrated in other plant systems (Kerns and Meyer, 1986; Fellman et al., 1987; Fiola et al., 1990). Adventitious shoots elongating over… cm in length, which were easy to handle and suitable for transferring to rooting medium, were also obtained most efficiently with a lower concentration of TDZ, while further addition of TDZ concentration resulted in decreased shoot regeneration and elongation. Higher TDZ concentrations lead to reduction of shoot regeneration and resulted in stunted shoots. Previous studies have been reported the inhibitory effects of high concentrations of TDZ on shoot elongation (Preece and Imel, 1991; Malik et al. 1992; Feyissa et al., 2005; Raghu et al., 2006; Kumar and Reddy, 2010; Kumar et al., 2010a,b, 2011a,b), and our results are in agreement with the above
