The field of nano science plays a crucial role in modern research and technology, offering unparalleled opportunities for innovation. Spondias mombin extract is used in this study as a bioreducing agent for the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The properties of these nanoparticles are compared. As the color of the extract changed from colorless to brown and then dark silver during synthesis, the reduction of AgNO3 confirmed the effectiveness of S. motherbin extract as a bio-reduc...
The use of herbal medicines, despite the advancement in production of orthodox ones, has been on the increase, both in underdeveloped, developed and developing countries like Nigeria in particular. The approval of these herbal remedies by regulatory bodies like the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration Control, (NAFDAC) in Nigeria has further encouraged the use of herbal remedies by almost everybody. This research targets the estimation of the concentration of‘heavy metals’ in ...
Human anxiousness as well as the quest to improve survival chances and gain better control over their environment has indeed succeeded through man’s constant exploration, exploitation and alteration of the natural environment. This has enabled man to achieve urbanization, industrialization and development in general. These developments have not come without a very high price due to the vindictive nature of the environment. The result or implication of human development is the evolution of s...
ABSTRACT Lemon grass (Cymbogon citratus) is an abundant, locally available plant. In this work, essential oil was extracted from it using solvent extraction method. In this work two methods of extraction was used, solvent extraction and enfleurage methods were used to extract essential oil from lemongrass. Solvent extraction method yielded 2.08% and effleurage method yielded 1.96% essential oil respectively. From the analysis solvent extraction gave the highest yield because of the less e...

ABSTRACT This study was carried out to investigate the effect of leachate toxicity on the male reproductive parameters. The research objective was to determine the effect of leachate exposure on body weight, reproductive organs weight, serum level of testosterone and luteinizing hormone, semen variables including sperm count, motility, and morphology of adult male Sprague-dawley rats. Thirty adult male Sprague-dawley rats weighing between 180-250g were used for this study and they were r...
Abstract Areca catechu (also known as betel nut) is a common masticatory in tropical and subtropical countries. Its seeds contain condensed tannins (Procyanidins) called arecatannins, which are reported to be carcinogenic. Virgin Coconut Oil is a colourless to brown-yellow edible oil obtained from fresh, mature kernel of Cocos nucifera (coconut). It has been reported to possess antioxidant, hepatoprotective and antimicrobial properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of virgin coco...
PROPOSAL: ABSTRACT Background: Currently stroke represents a serious problem in public health as one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide [1-3] with developing countries accounting for 85% of global deaths from stroke [1, 3-5]. A very good example explains how stroke seems to be increasing in Nigeria and the case fatality is unacceptably high [6]. Good perceptions and knowledge of stroke; a population’s knowledge of the stroke risk factor profiles, and good quality...
Brain disorders have been linked with heavy metal toxicity such as lead toxicity. Solanum lycopersicum has been reported to be useful in the treatment of brain disorders. However, there are few reports on it's effect on neurotoxicity induced by lead acetate in rats. . This study was designed to investigate the effect of ethyl acetate extract of Solanum lycopersicum (EESL) on neurotoxicity and oxidative stress induced in male wistar rats
ABSTRACT: The unique function of the nurse is to assist the individual sick or well in the performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery (or to peaceful death) that he would perform unaided if he had the necessary strength, knowledge or will, and to do so in such a way as to help him regain independence as quickly as possible” (Virginia Henderson, 1966). The rationale behind a care study is to assist a patient to regain health (or peaceful death) and present a repor...
