Assessment of Total Serum Prostate Specific Antigen (TPSA), Anti Mullerian Hormone (AMH) Level among Sudanese Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Abstract Back ground: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the commonest endocrine disorders in women of reproductive age group, cause of androgen excess in women. (PSA) may be a new one diagnostic tool for PCOS. Serum AMH is synthesized by small antral follicles, which are precisely those seen on ultrasound and could help us to diagnose PCOS. The aim of this study to evaluate the levels of serum TPSA, AMH among Sudanese women with polycystic ovary syndrome and to determine the perfor...

Products Contamination And Quality Control Analysis

SYNOPSIS Quality control can be seen as the activities that sustain the quality of a product in order to satisfy a given requirement or meet certain standards. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary, 2003). It is applicable in all phases of the production cycle. In food products, qualities such as composition, structure (molecular, microscopic and macroscopic), physicochemical and sensory attributes are all analyzed.  These analyses are carried out both to satisfy customers’ and meet regulatory stan...

ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITIES OF LOCALLY PRODUCED SOAP AGAINST SOME PATHOGENIC ORGANISMS.

ABSTRACT The evaluation of antimicrobial activities of five (5) brands of differentlocally produced soap sold in Owo Local Government Area of Ondo state was carried out against some selected pathogenic organisms (Staphylococcus aureus,Enterobacteraerogenes,Bacillus cereus,Shigelladysentaries,Salmonella typhin, Candida albicans,Aspergillusfumigatus). Usually, the antimicrobial analyses of the soap samples were analysed. The analysis of antimicrobial activities of locally produced soaps again...

Bioefficacy Study Of Mosquito Repellent Produced From Ocimum Basilicum Using Aerosol Propellant As Carrier

ABSTRACT Mosquito borne disease is a major public health problem globally, particularly the tropics being the major spot in the spread of malaria. The development of resistance to chemical insecticides has necessitated the research and development of natural mosquito repellent. The aim of this study is to extract, characterize and test the larvicidal activity of essential oil, produce mosquito repellent using the essential oil as its active ingredient and study the bioefficacy of the produced...

COMPOSITION AND NUTRITIONAL PROPERTIES OF SEEDS FROM TROPICAL ALMOND (Terminalia catappa)

ABSTRACT Tropical almond (Terminally catappa) fruit used in Eastern Nigeria have an impressive range of multipurpose medicinal uses with nutritional values. However, to be clinically used, more scientific data are needed. The goal of this study was to investigate the composition and nutritional properties of tropical almond. The seed of tropical almond was grind and analyzed for its proximate compositions and nutritional potentials and the results of this study showed that, the seed containe...

EVALUATION OF MICROBIOLOGICAL QUALITY OF TANK WATER AT THE INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY {IMT} CAMPUS III ENUGU

ABSTRACTThe evaluation of microbiological quality of tank water at the Institute of Management and Technology campus III Enugu was carried out by using ten samples of water obtained from ten different tank waters. For viable plate count for the presence of pathogenic organisms and organisms indicating organic matter pollution, plating technique of pour plates were used, also presence of coliform groups and Escherichia  coli were examined using the Presumptive, Confirmatory and Completed  co...

EXPLORATION OF ANTI-INFLAMMATORY POTENTIAL OF CITRUS MAXIMA (SHADDOCK) LEAF ON RAT.

ABSTRACTCitrus maxima (shaddock) is a medicinal plant used in Asia, and in some parts of Africa, because they are rich in flavonoids and some other phytoconstituent which contributed to their wide range of biological activities ranging from anti-inflammatory activity, antioxidant activity and anti tumor activity. Inflammation is the biochemical and cellular response that occurs in all vascularized tissues whose health is threatened either by internal or external source such as pathogens, dama...

ISOLATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF MICROBES ASSOCIATED WITH SPOILAGE CANNED FOOD SOLANUM LYCOPERSICUM

ABSTRACT Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) associated with gaseous spoilage of modified – atmosphere – packaged, raw, tomato – marinated boiler meat striped were identified on the basis of a restriction fragment. Lactic acid bacteria are the dominant spoilage organisms in vacuum or modifies atmosphere – packaged meat products. Spoilage is mainly caused by lactobacillus. The activities of these organisms at stationary phase produce the compounds associated with sensory spoilage. The present s...

EFFECT OF BIOREMEDIATION ON THE ENVIRONMENT

ABSTRACT In early times, we believed that we had an unlimited abundance of land and resources. Today, however, the resources in the world show in greater or lesser degree, our carelessness and negligence in using them.  The problem associated with contaminated sites now assume increasing prominence in many countries.  Contaminated lands generally result from past industrial activities. When awareness of the health and environmental effects connected with the production, use and disposal of ...

THE PRAVALENCE OF ENTERIC FEVER AMONG CHILREN IN THE PAEDIATERIC CLINIC (A CASE STUDY OF UNTH ITUKU OZALLA, ENUGU)

ABSTRACT Enteric fever is caused by a rod-shaped gram-negative bacteria with Pesitrichus flagella known as Salmonella Typhi.  Entero bactrioceal and unhabit the large bowel of human including children.  They are found in most food poisoning and traceable to fecal contaminants.  They grow both acrobically and anaerobically and are the main cause of enteric fever in children.   Micro-organism in the blood sample from paedeatric patients of UNTH Ituku Ozalla, Enugu were tested for salmonella...

THE USE OF HYDROGEN AS A HARMLESS SOURCE OF ENERGY

ABSTRACT Hydrogen is an energy carrier that can transform our fossil fuel dependent economy into a hydrogen economy; t can provide an emission free transportation fuel.  Hydrogen has the highest combustion energy per batter relative to any other fuel. It is more efficient on a weight basis than fuels used currently. It offers 2-3 times more energy than most other common fuels.  It combines readily with oxygen releasing considerable energy as heat and water Hydrogen storage and transport are...
