TL;DR: In the present investigation, the chemopreventive potential of aqueous extracts of the root and fruit of Tribulus terrestris (an Ayurvedic medicinal plant) on 7, 12 - dimethylbenz (a) anthracene (DMBA) induced papillomagenesis in male Swiss albino mice was studied.
Abstract: In the present investigation, the chemopreventive potential of aqueous extracts of the root and fruit of Tribulus terrestris (an Ayurvedic medicinal plant) on 7, 12 - dimethylbenz (a) anthracene (DMBA) induced papillomagenesis in male Swiss albino mice was studied. A significant reduction in tumor incidence, tumor burden and cumulative number of papillomas was observed, along with a significant increase in average latent period in mice treated orally with Tribulus terrestris suspension continuously at pre, peri and post-initiation stages of papillomagenesis as compared to the control group treated with DMBA and croton oil alone. Treatment with Tribulus terrestris suspension by oral gavage for 7 days resulted in a significant increase in the reduced glutathione content in the liver (P< 0.001 for both root and fruit extracts). Conversely, lipid peroxidation levels were significantly decreased (P< 0.001).

TL;DR: Roadside and garden soils were found to be the most suitable sites for almost all keratinophilic fungi, and the most predominant fungus isolated from pH range 6.5 to 9.5.
Abstract: Summary
Screening of 217 soil samples of different habitats, such as PG study centre, garden, farmhouse, nursery, roadside, hostel, animal habitat, bird habitat, marriage garden, temple, vegetable market and house dust, was carried out for the presence of dermatophytes and related fungi in relation to soil pH. A total of 461 isolates belonging to 26 genera and 34 species were recorded. Soil pH values vary from 3 to 10.5. Trichophyton verrucosum, Microsporum audouinii and M. canis were isolated for the first time in Jaipur from pH range 7.0 to 9.0. Chrysosporium tropicum (46.08%) was the most predominant fungus isolated from pH range 6.5 to 9.5. Trichophyton mentagrophytes (24.88%) was the second most common fungal species isolated from pH 6.5 to 9.5. Most of the keratinophilic fungi were isolated from pH 6.5 to 8.5. Only one isolate of Fusarium moniliforme was reported from a highly acidic site at pH 3. Roadside and garden soils were found to be the most suitable sites for almost all keratinophilic fungi.

TL;DR: All the antioxidant vitamins and fruits significantly decrease lipid peroxide levels and oxidant load in CHD patients, however, fruits are the best choice as they also favourably modify the lipid profile.
Abstract: OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of various antioxidant vitamins and a major dietary source of antioxidants (fruits) we performed a randomized controlled trial. METHODS 175 successive patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) presenting to our centre were recruited and using a Latin-square design divided into five groups of 35 each. The groups were matched for age, lifestyle and dietary variables, clinical diagnosis and drug treatment status. None of the patients was on lipid-lowering drugs. Supplemental vitamins were stopped for one month before study began and American Heart Association Step II dietary advice was given to all. At baseline, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and LDL cholesterol and lipid peroxide measured as thiobarbaturic acid reactive substances (TBARS) were determined. Group I received placebo capsules; Group II vitamin E 400 units/day; Group III vitamin C 1,000 mg; Group IV vitamin A 25,000 IU; Group V received 400 gm of fruit daily. Lipids and lipid peroxide levels were determined at 30 days follow-up. RESULTS Response rate in various groups varied form 86% to 91%. No significant changes in total, HDL, LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels were seen in Groups I, II, III and IV (paired t-test p > 0.05). In Group V there was a significant decrease in total cholesterol (-7.8 +/- 11.1%), and LDL cholesterol (-11.2 +/- 25.4%) and increase in HDL cholesterol (+12.9 +/- 20.1%) (paired t-test p < 0.01). Lipid peroxide levels decreased significantly in all the treatment groups (p < 0.01). This decrease was the highest in Group II (vitamin E; -36.4 +/- 17.7%) as compared to Group III (vitamin C -19.8 -/+ 10.8%); Group IV (vitamin A -5.4 +/- 17%) and Group V (fruits -13.1 +/- 12.0%). CONCLUSIONS All the antioxidant vitamins and fruits significantly decrease lipid peroxide levels and oxidant load in CHD patients. However, fruits are the best choice as they also favourably modify the lipid profile.

TL;DR: An Ambitious afforestation program including stabilisation of shifting sand dunes and creation of micro-climates through tree-screens and a huge canal, 649 km long was also introduced to the Thar desert for ecological restoration as mentioned in this paper.
