Abstract:-

Over 60% of all hospitalized patients require peripheral venous (PVC). catheterization. Reported failure rates, or unscheduled restarts, range from 33% to 69%. Reliable securement of PVCs is an important factor in its maintenance. The aim of the study is to compare the effects of transparent polyurethane dressing and adhesive dry dressing at peripheral intravenous catheter insertion site on the incidence of PIVC failure

Lepidopteran floral visitors as documented at an agro-ecosystem near Bikaner, Rajasthan, India

Harshwardhan Bhardwaj & Meera Srivastava

Abstract:-

Insects visit flowers for nectar and pollen and in turn act as pollinators. Amongst pollinators, key role is played by lepidopteran insects.Ideally, pollination investigations are necessary in each general locality where crop is grown and the present study was therefore planned to study the diversity and rhythmicity of lepidopteran insects visiting different crops in an agro-ecosystem at Bikaner. The crops cultivated in the field during the study period comprised of ornamental plant marigold (Compositae or Asteraceae), cucumber, bottle gourd, ridged gourd, pumpkin (Cucurbitaceae), coriander (Umbellifareae or Apiaceae), mustard (Brassicaceae) and brinjal (Solanaceae).In all 14 lepidopteran representatives of 10 families were documented to visit different flowers during the course of study.
