Abstract Microbiological quality of some selected brands of tablets and syrups produced in Nigeria was carried out. The drugs were purchased from different chemist stores at different towns in the South West of Nigeria. The samples were serially diluted and plated on Nutrient and Saboraud Dextrose Agar by Pour plating method. The plates were incubated […]

Abstract The subcapsular hematoma of the liver (HSCF) idiopathic spontaneous is a very rare desease, which most often occurs during pregnancy as part of HELLP syndrome.  The idiopathic remains exceptional. We report the case of an 80 years  hypertensive woman , admitted to the emergency pain of sudden onset of right upper  quadrant ; the […]

Abstract Fluoroquinolones, despite their use as antibiotics of choice in the treatment of several microbial infections have been associated with the risk of the development of Torsades de pointes (Tdp). This study was conducted to evaluate the comparative effect 2 fluoroquinolone antibiotics, Ciprofloxacin and Levofloxacin, orally administered over a period of 14 days on QT […]

Abstract The plant Anastatica hierochuntica is widely used for the treatment of difficult childbirth, gastrointestinal disorders and many other medical conditions. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the histological effects of Anastatica hierochuntica in mice female liver tissues where total of (30) mice females at the ages of (4-8 weeks) and body weight of […]

Abstract Acacia nilotica is used in traditional formulation in Nigeria for the treatment of infectious diseases. The susceptibility of bacteria strains against Acacia nilotica leaves extracts was determined using the disk diffusion method. The result showed A. nilotica leaves to possess antibacterial activity against S. typhi, P.  aerugonisa, E. coli and S. aureus. At the […]

Abstract Agricultural and industrial residues obtained after isolating essential oil very often constitute more than 99% of the raw material and represent a potential natural source for antioxidants and other valuable substances; however, nowadays they are poorly exploited. For the first time, this study investigated antioxidant properties and bioactive compounds in the deodorized residue extracts […]

Abstract This research investigates the effects of four oral antiretroviral drugs on erythrocyte catalase activity and the relative stability of the erythrocyte membrane in wistar rat. Sixty (60) rats with average body weight 100 grams were allowed to acclimatize for two weeks and were distributed into four (4) groups. Blood samples were collected from the […]

Abstract This study was performed to assess the effect of deltamethrin (DLM) insecticide on male fertility in rats and to examined the possible protective role of vitamin E. Twenty five sexually mature male rats were randomized into 5 groups; one group was kept as a negative control. In the remaining 4 groups, DLM was orally […]

Abstract In the present report it is shown that a chemometric analysis of near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) data obtained for hair samplescan be successfully employed to differentiate between smoker and nonsmoker persons. It is worth noting that only NIR data are enough to such identification, with no kind of classical chemical analysis been necessary. Such […]

Abstract Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) used as absorbents to remove Acid Red 88 (AR88) dyes from wastewater have been investigated here because they are effective in removing organic pollutants. The adsorption process was affected by various experimental conditions such as pH, contact time and biosorbent concentration. Maximum dye removal was observed at pH 3 and […]
