Abstract The Rice shell was used as a low cost adsorbent to produce activated carbon (AC) for the removal of sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) from aqueous solution at batch systems. Equilibrium data were fitted to Langmuir, Freundlich, Redlich–Peterson and Sips isotherms. The equilibrium data were best represented by the Langmuir isotherm. maximum monolayer capacity of AC obtained […]

Abstract Synovial sarcoma is uncommonly documented in the pelvis. Rarely, such cases have dealt with molecular analysis. A 32-year-old boy presented with pain and swelling in his left lower limb of two three duration. He developed acute urinary retention four days prior to his hospital admission, wherein radiological examination unraveled a large soft tissue mass […]

Abstract Aqueous extract of Azadirachta indica is drunk by the Igbos as medicine for curing malaria fever. The dried leaves are kept at strategic places to drive away insects. In this research the effect of two solvent extracts of A. indicia were investigated on five micro-organisms that attack the skin. These micro-organisms include; Malassezia globosim, […]

Abstract The seed of Pentaclethra macrophylla benth are seen plentifully during the plants’ seasonal fruiting. Though the nutritional value of this seeds had been analyzed, the seed oil had not been characterized to see if it should be of high industrial importance. In this work, the author tried to extract and characterize P. macrophylla seeds […]

Abstract This study was aimed at investigating the effect of Trévo dietary supplement (TDS) in caffeine induced oxidative stress in albino rat models. Thirty healthy male albino rats of 12 weeks old were divided into five groups with six rats in each group using a completely randomized design (CRD). The rats were treated with combinations […]

Abstract Many compounds were isolated from Cotoneaster racemiflora included racemiside A; cotonoate A; cotonoate B;  7,8-dimethoxy-6-hydroxycoumarin; 3,3,4-Tri-o-methylellagic acid; cereotagloperoxide; scopoletin; β- sittosterol; ursolic acid;    β- sittosterol 3-o-β-D-glucopyranoside;  aromatic esters (cotonoates A and B); methyl 3,4-dihydroxy-5-methoxybenzoate; Racemiside, scopoletin, 7,8-dimethoxy-6-hydroxycoumarin, 3,3′,4′-tri-o-methylellagic acid,  cereotagloperoxide,   a manna-like substance (shir-khist); sugars and phenolic  compounds. The pharmacological investigation revealed that Cotoneaster […]

Abstract Coronilla varia and Coronilla scorpioides were the species of Coronilla grown in Iraq. They contained many pharmacologically active metabolites. Coumarins (scopoletin, daphnoretine, umbelliferon), cardiotonic glycosides (deglucohyrcanoside, hyrcanoside),   a toxic constituent, β-nitropropionic acid and potent neurotoxin, were also isolated from Coronilla varia. Coronilla scorpioides  produced several compounds included cardenolide glycoside (hyrcanoside, hyrcanogenine, coronillin, corotoxigenin, frugosid, […]

Abstract In this paper, the chemical analysis of some local clay samples used for the production of electrical porcelain insulator has been investigated. Test samples were made by varying the quantities of feldspar and silica required to form a mouldable plastic body with each clay sample. The investigation was carried out because some local clay […]

Abstract The protozoan Toxoplasma gondii is one of the most common infectious pathogenic parasites and can cause severe medical complications in infants and immune-compromised individuals. In the current study, Toxoplasma gondii was isolated from the placenta of aborted women and the suspension of placenta was inoculated into the peritoneal cavity of male and female laboratory […]

Abstract This paper examined the possibility of applying ozone (O3) and O3 combined with ultraviolet (UV) to degrade the content of seawater containing Direct Yellow 50 dye. The Experimental parameters such as initial dye concentration and time of reaction were assessed in a batch reactor to achieve the optimum operating circumstances. The Results of this […]
