Abstract: A study was conducted in Plant Science garden in Modibbo Adama University of Technology Yola to evaluate the influence of organic soil amendment on girth, shoot height and number of branches of groundnut (Arachis hypogae L.) infected by nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) in Girei local government area. Azadirachta indica, Cassia siamea and Cassia fistula extracts with the concentrations of 50, 100, 150 and 200g were used as soil amendments to treat Meloidogyne incognita. There was significant difference (p<0.001) observed between the treatments and best growth was observed at dose 150g for C. fistula, A. indica and C. siamea with 2.1138cm, 2.0988cm and 2.1388 respectively for the girth. At dose 200g, the best shoot height was 19.25, 17.71 and 19.73 C. fistula, A. indica and C. siamea respectively. The treated plants had the higher number of branches produced at dose 200g for C. fistula (12.95%), while highest number of branches was observed at dose 100g for A. indica and C. siamea with 12.30% and 11.95% respectively......

Abstract: Background: Invasive plant species are today among the greatest threats of protected areas integrity and their fight is a challenge which requires knowledge of the potential areas of distribution. The objective of this study is to draw the spatial distribution and to determine the potential distribution area of the invasive alien species as well as the environmental variables affecting their geographic distribution in Banco national park. Materials and Methods: The principle of "Maximum Entropy" was used to draw the habitats of Chromolaena odorata (L.) RM King & H. Roxb (proven invasive species) and Hopea odorata Roxb(potential invasive species) under current and future climatic conditions (2050 horizon of RCP 8.5 scenario). These species were chosen on the one hand based on the number of occurrences and on the other hand on their significant proportions in the park. The coordinates of presence of the species were collected and combined with environmental data (bioclimatic and topographical). The distribution surface area of potentially favorable or not zones, was calculated for each species.

Abstract: Résumé : L'Anémie de Blackfan -Diamond (ABD) est l'unique formed'érythroblastopénie congénitale reconnue, ses mécanismes de survenue restent encore obscures. La découverte inattendue d'une protéine ribosomique « protéine ribosomique S19 (rps19) » a fait de cette pathologie une vedette des ribosomopathies. Cette mutation n'est retrouvée que chez 25 % des patients. Elle présente une grande variabilité clinique (forme typique et atypique), mais surtout pose un réel problème lié auxcomplications et à l'accessibilité thérapeutique dont l'allogreffe de la moelle reste le seul moyen curatif.Nous rapportons un cas atypique d'ABD révélé par un syndrome anémique chez un nourrisson, au Centre Hospitalier Universitaire (CHU) Hassan II de Fès au Maroc.......

Abstract: Background: 2019-nCoV/SARS-CoV-2 or most commonly novel coronavirus has become extremely important considering the pandemic situation declared by WHO on 11th March 2020. It has become a prime aim to the researchers to understand it's pathological, clinical, structural and transmission parameters. Though the report was first registered from Wuhan, China but gradually it has spread worldwide. In the present work the role of meteorological variables dependent immune system with the severity of the outbreak was surveyed on a world wide scale. This meteorological correlation model will provide some important information to any government for their future plan of action to get control over the rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2. The confirmed case counts of COVID-19 and meteorological variables were collected systematically from World Health Organization and website and World Meteorological......

Abstract: Background:In neonates, it is very important to determine different antibiotics used and the antibiotic resistance pattern in each hospital in order to made guidelines used in treatment of different cases of neonate's illness. Aim :Is to correlate between antibiotics really used in treatment of different neonatal illness and the adherence of that with the guidelines provided by ministry of health and population in order to avoid antibiotics resistance. Subjects and methods:Prospective cross sectional observational study was conducted on 80 neonates infants admitted to pediatric intensive care unit in Tertiary Hospital with sepsis , respiratory distress or pneumonia. Results:15% of cases were inconsistent empirical antibiotics used with culture results and 85% of caseswere consistent with culture results .The mostly used empirical antibiotic combination was Vancomycin plus Cefotaxime by a percent of 56.3......

Abstract: Coronavirus is a single stranded enveloped RNA virus having a nucleocapsid of helical symmetry.Due to the the characteristic appearance of halo in the viron it is known as corona.It is also the largest RNA virus.It is a zoonotic infection having flu like symptoms.Three strains of coronavirus which produce potentially severe symptoms are-MERS-CoV,SARS CoV,SARS CoV2 or Novel coronavirus 2019.WHO has recently declared novel coronavirus 2019 also known as COVID19 as pandemic.This paper deals with COVID19, its symptoms, effects on human civilization ,prevention and control.As no confirmed treatment is available at present ,Social distancing is the best available measure to be strictly followed to contain it.

Abstract: Water has curious and unusual properties, and plays an important role in living systems. Thus, "No life without water" is a common saying. Microorganisms get into natural waters from air, soil, sewage, organic wastes, dead plants and animals, etc. Thus almost any type of organisms may be found in water. For the present study water samples were collected regularly for a period of one year at random from the Kolleru Lake. Ciliates are well-known as water pollution indicators and the presence or absence of some ciliates can be interconnected to specific environmental surroundings. Growing environmental population and constant growth of new chemicals and.....

Abstract: Present investigation deals with the Indigenous medicinal practices for curing orthopaedic sports injuries and other injuries. Physical exercise is an important and essential thing for wellbeing of mental and physiological aspects of a person. Several field trips to the study area were made to collect information by the aboriginal and others through interviewing local chiefs, priests, vaidyas, herbal practitioners, elderly people and educated youths. The methodology was adopted as described by earlier scientists. A total of 83 species belonging to 75 genera and 42 species have been recorded which are being potentially exploited by the tribal and non-tribal groups in treating sports injuries. There is an urgent need for follow-up ethno pharmacological screening based on tribal claims and beliefs and formulates and standardizes some herbal medicines based on ethno therapeutics either with single......
