ABSTRACT Isolated organs or tissues are body parts, organs, systems or tissues separated from the body and placed in an artificial nutrient medium similar to blood plasma in salt composition and osmotic pressure and temporarily retaining their principal functional properties. They are used to study certain aspects of organ activity, elucidate the action of medicinal substances and poisons, provides researchers with convenient biological models that are independent of the systemic influen...
ABSTRACT Insulin treatment is the use of insulin and similar proteins to treat diseases including diabetes and its acute complications as an effective way of lowering blood glucose level in individuals with impaired Islet beta cell functions. The Islets (Island) of Langerhans are small clusters of cells scattered within the pancreas of most vertebrates to bring about the secretion of the polypeptide hormone, Insulin, which is responsible for the evacuation of excess glucose in the blood strea...
Humans share an intimate and life-long partnership with a myriad of resident microbial species (fungi, protists and viruses), collectively referred to as the microbiota (Sampson & Marmanian, 2015). The microbiome co-evolved with its human host (Chrobak et al., 2016) and istransferred from the mother to the baby duringlabor, with method of delivery, diet, drugs and medications (especially antibiotics) as the major contributing factorto the process of microbiome developmentin the infant (Sekiro...

The thyroid gland is the largest endocrine gland (Moore et al,2010). It is derived from the Greek words “glandula thyreoidea” which means “Gland” “shield like” respectively (Thomas Wharton, 1659). It is brownish-red in colour (Henry Gray,2010). The thyroid gland is located at the throat below the voice box (larynx), Laryngeal prominence or Adam’s Apple to be specific. The laryngeal prominence is a lump that is formed by the angle of the thyroid cartilage surrounding the larynx. ...
ABSTRACTNitric oxide is produced in high amount from the break down of arginine by a group of enzyme called nitric oxide synthase. Nitric oxide is an intercellular messenger that has been recognized as one of the versatile player in the immune system. Cells of the innate immune system such as macrophages, neutrophil and natural killer use patterns recognition receptors to recognize the molecular patters associated with pathogens. The specific role nitric oxide plays depend on the place o...
ABSTRACT Cerebral palsy is a physical disability. It is the most common physical disability in childhood. Cerebral Palsy affects the way the brain controls muscles.

ABSTRACTObjective of the present study is to determine the health and safety in medical laboratory, the economic implications of safety precautions in laboratory practice make compliance difficult especially for laboratories in countries with poor economies. However, economic factors are not the only determinants of a safe work environment. Worker's perception of health and safety al...
ABSTRACTRadiological imaging is extremely valuable as a diagnostic tool in the pediatric population, but it comes with a number of distinct challenges as compared to the imaging of adults. This is because of the following: It requires dedicated imaging protocols to acquire the images, there is need for sedation or general anesthesia for longer procedures such as MRI, specific training is required for the healthcare personnel involved, thorough knowledge and expertise should be applied for eva...
