Abstract: In the present study we have investigated antioxidant activity ofdoum(Hyphaenethebaica) fruit by using soxhlet apparatus for 9 hours to each of ethanol and ethyl acetate solvents. The antioxidant activity was done by using(DPPH) 2, 2 - diphenyl, 1- picrylhydrazyland ( FRAP) ferric reducing antioxidant power assays.(BHT)butylatedhydroxytoluene was used as control. The results show that the scavenging effects of both extracts from our plant on DPPH radicals increased by increasing theconcentration. Ethyl acetate extract of the H. thebaica showed strong DPPH scavenging activity at concentrations (400, 600, 800 μg/ml)more than ethanolic extract and BHT which were 70.20, 88.70 and 95.80% respectively. Ethyl acetate extract showed highest FRAP scavenging activity at concentration...........

Abstract: Prenatal exposure to carbamazepine has been shown to interfere with the normal morphogenesis and differention of the various fetal organs when applied in management of various maternal conditions like bipolar disorders, trigeminal neuralgia, andseizures associated with epilepsy among others.Such perturbations on normal development of the fetal organs in-utero can help in explainingthe cause of some of the structural, behavioral and functional mental disorders observed in adulthood whose cause is yet to be established. Such disorders of embryological origin are currently a major contributor to the disability-adjusted life years (DALY) in adulthood.Though, the existing literature has linked the prenatal exposure to alteration in various growth and development parameters......

Abstract: Phenytoin is an antiepileptic drug with no sedative effects widely used in treatment of convulsive disorders. However, its use in pregnancy has been associated with various fetal malformations and impairment of fetal growth.Many factors have been attributed to these effects including phenytoin capacity to cause hypoxia in embryonic tissue, interference with maternal folate metabolism, maternal hemodynamic alterations, its inhibition on potassium channels among others,these consequently affect various developing fetus structures and organs that be associated with currently common postnatally problems of unknown cause such as growth retardation, congenital rickets ,congenital.........

: | 10.9790/3008-1404013234 |
Abstract: Essential oils are concentrated natural extracts derived from plants, which were proved to be good sources of bioactive compounds with antimicrobial properties. Olibanum essential oil has become increasingly popular in skin care. The current study exhibited the effect of this essential oil on curing resistant plasmid of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from burned skin. The oil was extracted by using Clevenger apparatus.Alkaline lysismethod was done to determine the antiplasmid activity. Loss of plasmid band was confirmed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The curing efficiency of olibanum essential oil was found to be 100% in all concentrations (0.5%, 1%, 3% ) as compared with control. In conclusion, the essential oil of Boswellia resin may be considered as a natural source for antimicrobial and antiplasmid agents and could be used for application in pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract: Background- Problems related to ethanol (alcohol) ranks among the global public health concerns andIn-utero exposure to alcohol directly or indirectly perturb maternal organ functions like liver and placental among others. This perturbation has been shown to occurs through different mechanisms including alteration of maternalprotein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, as well as placental blood vessel vasoconstriction which in turn may interferes with fetal blood supply and oxygenation hence placing the fetus at risk of weight deficit, congenital defects among others.ThoughMany factors likethe genetic inheritance of mutant genes, nutritional status and many other factors have been shown toinfluence the range and severity of the maternal alcohol outcomes, data on whether the observed maternal alcohol outcomes are dose and time dependent are not well elucidated hence forming the basis of this study............

Abstract: Paracetamol a commonly used analgesic has been associated with liver toxicity and resultant alteration of its histomorphology with eventual liver malfunctions. This hepatotoxicity has been shown to be as a result of prolonged use or overdoses of paracetamol. On the other hand LIV52 also known as livercare, a herbal formulation has been shown to have restorative effects on the liver induced hepatotoxicity. However there is paucity of data on its restorative histo-morphological effects on the acute induced liver hepatotoxicity or its chronic usage. In addition, Data on the restorative effects of LIV52 on the liver induced hepatotoxicity when used in varied doses is also lacking. This study aimed at determining the histo- morphological and morphometric restorative effects of varied doses of LIV52 following the liver hepatotoxicity induced with paracetamol. The research was..........

Abstract: Motor neuron disease is vary hazards disease in recent time, MND (Motor Neuron Disease) basically it shows clinical presentation to ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) considered is most neurodegenerative disease. In MND basically loss of nerves in the spine and brain is not working so it is Refferd to neurodegeneration. It is recorded as in last past year we have seen lots of changes related to patient care treatment improving and drug safety but also rapid scientific advances is there, so that rational therapies based on key pathogenic mechanisms now seem plausible. ALS have both properties in heterogeneous. it occurs 1 year to delay from first symptoms...........

Abstract: The aim of this study was to optimize different chitosan nanoparticles to improve sumatriptan brain uptake. Different chitosan nanoparticles (CS NPs) were prepared by cross linking CS with tripolyphosphate (TPP). The NPs were statistically optimized by Box-Behnken design using Design Expert® software (Version 9.0.6.2, Stat-Ease Inc. Minneapolis, MN, USA). The influence of CS and TPP concentrations as well as stirring speed on particle size and entrapment efficiency (EE%) were evaluated. The optimized formulae were evaluated concerning zeta potential, TEM and in vitro release. Plasma pharmacokinetics and brain deposition were also investigated following intranasal............

Abstract: Access to safe drinking water is scarce in most developing countries. As a result most communities depend on underground water sources such as well and boreholes. The aim of this research was to analyze the bacteriological quality of water used in Ndar and Butura communities in Bokkos, Plateau State. Thirty water samples from 15 wells and 15 boreholes were analyzed using standard water evaluation techniques. The physicochemical analysis of the water samples reveals that most of the water samples were colourless, odourless and tasteless, contain no particle with a pH range of 6.5 to 8.4. This is within the acceptable standard limit of 6.5 -8.5for drinking water. The most probable number (MPN)/ 100ml of both the wells and boreholes ranged from 12 -24/100ml.........

Abstract: Brunner's gland hyperplasia is a benign lesions of duodenum. Most of case are revealed by obstructive signs. They are usually small less than 1cm in diameter. When Brunner's gland hyperplasia does not have common dimensions, it may also mimic a malignancy and it can lead to over treatment. We report the case of 60-years old man with a large Brunner's gland hyperplasia mimicking a malignancy which lead to excessive treatment by a partial gastrectomy.

Abstract: A burn is a thermal injury caused by biological, chemical, electrical and physical agents with local and systemic repercussions. They have a greater incidence in economically and culturally marginalized countries. Knowing the kind of burn is vital for effective management. Following a burn, there's a huge production of free radicals that is harmful and involved in inflammation, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, immunosuppression...........

Abstract: Garlic (Allium sativum ) is one of the most researched and bestselling herbal product in the market. For centuries it was used as a traditional remedy for health related disorders. Also, it is widely used as a food ingredients, spice and aphrodisiac. The garlic plant's bulb is most commonly used part of the plant. Garlic bulbs are normally divided in to numerous fleshy sections called cloves. These cloves are consumption (raw or cooked) or for medicinal purpose. They have a characteristic pungent, spicy flavor that mellows considerably with cooking. The distinctive aroma is mainly..........
