Abstract To evaluate the value of using trans- oral rigid endoscopic examination of nasopharynx after conventional curettage adenoidectomy for complete removal and prevention of recurrence. A Prospective study of 50 children with adenoid hypertrophy was done at Misurata Central Hospital. They  presented clinically with symptoms of nasal obstruction, mouth breathing and snoring confirmed radiologically with […]

Abstract The Costus speciosus belonging to family Coastaceae, is a substantial medicinal and ornamental plant used traditionally to cure different diseases. Aim: The current studies were sought to determine the antimicrobial activities of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Costus speciosus rhizome (CSEE and CSAE) against nine bacterial strains (P. aeruginosa, S.  epidermidis, S. pygenes, E. […]

Abstract Mangoes are an important source of vitamins all over the world. However, their production has been endangered by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides that causes anthracnose of mangoes. This study was aimed at isolating the fungus from infected mangoes followed by testing the sensitivity of the fungus to essential oils from eucalyptus, sage and rosemary plant. Infected […]

Abstract In this study, 1-(morpholine-4-yl-methyl)-3-(p-methoxybenzyl)-4-(4-isopropylbenzylidenamino)-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-one molecule was optimized by using the B3LYP/HF 6-31G(d) and B3LYP/HF 6-311G(d) different two method. This optimized structure used to calculation of the various theoretical properties of the compounds. IR absorption frequencies of analyzed molecule were calculated by two methods. Then, they were compared with each other and experimental data, which […]

Abstract Momordica foetida (Cucurbitaceae) is a plant mainly used in Cameroon’s folk medicine for management of many diseases including malaria, cancers and diabetes. This study aimed at evaluating the antioxidant content and activity of the methanol extracts of the whole plant and fruit of M. foetida. The results revealed the presence of antioxidants in whole […]

Abstract In current study Lemna Minor (LM) has been utilized as the adsorbent for the removal of a reactive red 120 (RD-120), from aqueous solution using the batch adsorption technique under different conditions such as temperature, contact time and initial dye concentration at pH fixed 7. The optimum sorption conditions were found as following: contact […]

Abstract Due to increased pharmaceutical sewage, the cost efficient adsorbent is extremely needed for medical wastewater treatment. Bentonite which is consists essentially of clay minerals of the smectite group; have a wide range of industrial uses. In this study, a simple approach to adsorb Tetracycline (TC) from aqueous solution by exchangeable cation by bentonite clay […]

Abstract Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a potentially serious infectious disease that mainly affects the lungs. The bacteria that cause tuberculosis are spread from one person to another through tiny droplets released into the air via coughs and sneezes. Once rare in developed countries, tuberculosis infections began increasing in 1985, partly because of the emergence of […]

Abstract This study was carried out to evaluate the nutritional properties of Solanum macrocarpum (garden egg) stalk using standard methods. Sulphates and chloride were the most abundant anions while calcium and magnesium were the predominant mineral cations. Results for the proximate composition showed high carbohydrates (27.70 %), fibre contents (22.94 %), and ash (18.83 %) […]

Abstract A series of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridinyl-chalcones (5a–k) have been synthesized by claisen chimdt condensation between  3–acetyl-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (3) and various benzaldehydes (4a–k). The structures of all the synthesized compounds have been confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectral data. The antibacterial activities of these synthesized compounds were tested against sensible and clinical strains of Gram-positive […]
