Introduction: To choose whether to end the pregnancy and how to deliver the baby, obstetricians require a precise estimation of gestational age. Other criteria can be useful when inaccurate menstrual history cannot be utilized to estimate gestational age. One such element is the fetal sacral length, which may be measured using ultrasound. Numerous criteria have been utilized in conjunction with ultrasonography to estimate gestational age. However, only the first and second trimesters of pregnancy are when all of these metrics are trustworthy. They become less accurate as the pregnancy goes on for a number of reasons, with the third trimester having the most fluctuation at around 3 to 3.5 weeks. Methods: A total of 200 pregnant women participated in this prospective observational study at the Department of Radiology and Imaging, Bangladesh Institute of Research and Rehabilitation in Diabetes, Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders. The research was carried out between January 2001 and December 2002. Result: The participants' average age was 24.54 years. Only 3% of the participants were in the oldest age range of 36-40 years, with 38 percent of the participants being between the ages of 21 and 25. The average height of the participants was 150-154 cm in 52 percent of the cases. The mean SD height and weight were 152.40±3.44 cm and 54.80±4.45 kg, respectively. There is a strong positive relationship between fetal sacral length and gestational age, according to BPD and FL. The relationship between gestational age and fetal sacral length was demonstrated to be statistically significant. There was no statistically significant relationship between fetal sacral length and maternal height. Conclusion: Fetal sacral length and gestational age are closely connected. Sacral length can be used consistently as an extra metric during pregnancy in conjunction with other established parameters if it is assessed precisely with a high-resolution ultrasound scanner.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the ethanolic extract of Persea americana (avocado) on the haematological parameters of male Wistar rats. The rats were randomly divided into three groups of five rats each. They were treated with ethanolic extract of Persea americana (except the control group). Group 1 received distilled water, Group 2 received 200mg/kg of the extract and Group 3 received 400mg/kg of the extract. The administration was done for 21 days. At the end of the administration, the rats were sacrificed under chlorofoam aneaesthesia and blood samples obtained and sent to the laboratory for analysis. The statistical analysis was done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences software version 21.0. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) test was used to compare means. There was a significant (p<0.5) increase in packed cell volume (PCV), red blood cell count (RBC) and haemoglobin (Hb) concentration. There was no significant change in platelet count, white blood cell count, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, mean corpuscular volume, neutrophils count, lymphocytes count, eosinophil and monocyte count, Result of the present study has shown that the ethanolic stem bark extract of Persea americana improved the red cell series and may be useful in treatment of anaemia because of its ability to cause a significant increase in PCV, RBC and Hb concentration.

Yoga is a way to achieve complete balance between the body, mind, and soul. The Sanskrit word yuj, which implies union, is where the word yoga first appeared. Fusion of the individual and the collective mind. Practicing yoga can help you keep your equilibrium. Avoiding various health issues requires proper equilibrium. Your body gains a lot from yoga. Your ability to focus and how you approach problems both increase. It's a lifetime choice rather than just an activity. Your mind, body, and spirit will all benefit from it in various ways.

Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are major public health problem in both developing and developed countries. Medical students should have adequate knowledge about STI as they will be dealing with patients in future. The objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and attitude about STIs among medical students. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among the 184 medical third year students of private medical colleges of Dhaka. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire on sociodemographic information, knowledge of STIs and attitude towards it. The response format was based on a 3-point Likert scale. Frequency distribution was calculated for statistical analysis. Results: One hundred and eighty-four students participated in this study of which 76 (41%) were males and 108 (59%) were females. All of the respondents had ever heard about STIs. Internet was the most frequently source of information for STIs. Most of the students had fair knowledge about the sign and symptoms, transmission, complication and prevention methods of STIs but there were also students who didn’t knew and had misconceptions. Attitude of the students towards STIs was variable. Conclusion: This study indicates the gaps in the knowledge of medical students about STIs. Further research should be performed to investigate the reason behind this gap. Moreover, additional emphasis on the knowledge of STIs and prevention should be implemented into the curriculums.

Maritime trade is dynamic and indispensable for economic growth and development around the World. This trade if not well monitored can become a threat to development considering the illicit and criminal transactions that surrounds the sector. In Cameroon, this informal trade has degraded customs income and promoted the infiltration of contraband goods into the country via local anchorage sites where custom services are weak. This trade has affected the State pricing policy of certain goods especially fuel. It is against this background that this study sets out to investigate, seaborne trade, and the illegal transactions that are common along the Fako coastal belt of Cameroon. Data for the study have been gathered from secondary and primary sources. Secondary data were gleaned from soft and hard copies of both published and unpublished documents, newspapers, and decrees relevant to maritime transport and trade. Primary data were sourced from field surveys where a simple random sampling technique was used to administer 278 copies of questionnaires to 10 localities along the Fako coastal belt of Cameroon using a convenient sample size. Supplementary primary data was gotten via interviews and observations in the three seaports along the coast. Results revealed that the Limbe, Tiko and Idenau ports though secondary, handles thousands of tonnes of cargo annually making Fako Division where they are located in Cameroon an eminent trading hub. Statistics from the Limbe Port Authority (PAL) indicated an increasing trend of export and imports annually in thousands of tonnes. The results shows that illicit seaborne trade is very common along this coastal belt with over 67 percent of the goods coming in from neighbouring Nigeria. The illicit product identified are petroleum products (46.2%), pharmaceutical products (30 %), food items (16.7%) and chemical fertilizers and others (5.3% and 3.8%) respectively. The results also revealed that in the year 2021 between January and August, over 18 cases of illicit goods were intercepted along this coastline with petroleum products destined to Limbe, Tiko and Idenau ports dominating. The reasons for the persistency of this illicit trade were corruption and the existence of a network of illegal organisation that transact the goods. This study recommends that custom and naval services be reinforced along this coastal belt to ascertain the type and originality of the products entering the country via the sea. Also, the State should investigate and dismantle illicit and organised illegal seaborne trade chains and charge officials at the maritime frontiers to be responsible and corruption free.

Illicit financial flows remain a serious problem to both developed and developing countries with tremendous negative impact on the economy. Although the police is there to investigate offences, certain offences are more sophisticated in nature thereby, necessitating the establishment of specialized agencies to investigate such offences. Nigeria and Cameroon have very common similarities when it comes to corruption and efforts to eliminate it led to the creation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the National Agency for Financial Investigation (ANIF). These agencies have the mandate to fight against money laundering and terrorist financing but the mandate of the EFCC is more extended with tremendous powers to investigate and directly prosecute offenders. ANIF does not have such powers and only report to the prosecution after investigation. This is attributed to the fact it is Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) whose functions are usually limited to collection, analysis and dissemination of information related to money laundering, associated predicate offences and the financing of terrorism. Cameroon has opted for the administrative model lodged within the Ministry of Finance. The objective of this paper is that it seeks to make a comparative study of the EFCC and ANIF in the fight against financial crimes and to draw a line as to the model that is more efficient. To achieve this, a qualitative research approach was adopted. Accordingly, the doctrinal method was used which enabled us to do an on desk analysis of the available secondary and primary data on the EFCC and ANIF. This paper recommends that more sophisticated means should be given to the EFCC and that the CEMAC sub region should adopt the Nigerian model which has proven to be more successful in combating illicit financial flows.

Diabetes is a growing health concern worldwide and now emerging as an epidemic world over. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia or increased blood glucose levels, resulting from insufficient or inefficient insulin secretion, with alterations in carbohydrate, protein and lipid metabolism. Type-2 diabetes is the most prevalent form, of the total diabetics about 90% have type-2 diabetes, which is characterized by post-prandial hyperglycaemia (increase in blood sugar level after a meal). Many medicinal plants are reported to have insulin-mimetic effect, modulation of insulin secretion and inhibition of carbohydrate digesting enzymes. The currently available anti diabetic agents include sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones and alpha glucos idase inhibitors and are widely used to control the hyperglycemia. These drugs fail significantly to alter the course of diabetic complications. They have limited use because of undesirable pathological conditions and high rates of secondary failure. This it is essential to look for more effective antidiabetic agents with fewer side effects. Traditional medicinal plants having anti diabetic properties can be a useful source for the development of safer and effective oral hypoglycaemic agents. More than 350 traditional plants are used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus, which have been recorded. Only a small number of these have received scientific and medical evaluation to assess their efficacy. However, plant remedies are the mainstream of treatment in underdeveloped regions. This review focuses on diabetes mellitus and the role of plants in the treatment of diabetes mellitus.

This study presents a systematic empirical review of the two language variation studies. This review presents a comparison between a recent African study and a study that serves as a leading light in sociolinguistics. Employing phonological variation studies as the methodology with the data purposively selected, this study discusses the variation studied by (Labov, 1966), (Cyril et al, 2014). The study reveals the results of studies conducted in similar ways but yields varying results. This is premised on the fact that while one was conducted in North America, the other was conducted in Africa.

“Laugh” verbs rank almost first when people express their emotions. There are many “laugh” verbs in English, for learners with a relatively low proficiency level, it is quite difficult to choose the appropriate one to describe their states of mind. Due to their subtle differences, it is more difficult for learners to grasp their usage and meanings. This present paper aims to analyze the differences of some widely used “laugh” verbs through componential analysis.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of audio-visual technology on students’ academic achievement and interest in electrical installation and maintenance works in Technical Colleges in Anambra State. The design of the study was quasi-experimental design involving pretest, posttest non-randomized control groups. The study was carried out in technical colleges in Anambra State. The population of the study was 316 (150 males and 166 females) students purposively sampled from two technical colleges that have male and female students in the state. The instrument for data collection was electrical installation and maintenance works achievement test (EIMWAIT) and interest scale adapted by the researchers from the NABTEB past questions between 2010 and 2020. Due to the fact that the instrument was standardized (past examination questions), no further validation was made. Reliability of the instrument was determined using Kuder-Richardson Formula 21 with a reliability coefficient of 0.77 was obtained. Data collected were analyzed using mean scores to answer the research questions and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance and appropriate degree of freedom. The study revealed among others that students in experimental group achieved higher than those in control group. There is a significant difference in the mean achievement scores of students taught electrical installation and maintenance works with audio-visual technology as compared to those taught with conventional method. Thus, it was recommended that there should be a regulatory policy to encourage absorbance of female students into electrical installation and maintenance works trade.

Background: Post-partum hemorrhage is defined as excessive bleeding following a vaginal delivery or cesarean section of more than 500ml and 1000ml respectively. Post-partum hemorrhage is a potentially life-threatening complication of vaginal and cesarean delivery. The aim of the study was to identify the causes of PPH cases and find out modalities and maternal outcomes of PPH cases and different presentations of PPH patients, to identify the causes of primary & secondary PPH. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Dhaka Medical College & Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from July 2011 to December 2011. The total number of patients in the present study was 200. Patients were selected from those who developed PPH after vaginal delivery or LSCS or instrumental delivery. Patients who were admitted as cases of PPH after home or other institutional delivery. The data were entered into a computer and statistical analysis of the results was obtained by using windows-based computer software devised with Statistical Packages for Social Sciences version 24. Results: During the study period, 407 PPH cases were admitted and the incidence of PPH was 5.72% of the total obstetric cases. Out of 407 cases, 317 (77.89%) were primary PPH cases and 90 (22.11%) were secondary PPH. Among the study people, 89% of patients developed primary PPH, and only 11% developed secondary PPH, 77% of the patients developed no complications other than PPH. 0.5% of patients expired remaining 23% of the patients developed some kind of complication following PPH. Conclusion: Maternal mortality has been used traditionally as a measure of the quality of health care. Recently maternal mortality is being taken into account to assess the burden of the disease. Safe motherhood policies, systematic evaluation, aggressive and appropriate treatment, prompt resuscitation, and volume replacement minimize the potentially serious outcomes associated with PPH. Most of the patients can be managed at the upazilla level by properly trained personnel. Only one-tenth of the patients require surgical management with active management of third-stage labor. So detecting the complications as early as possible and early referred to the tertiary level hospital would be able to reduce the complications and will improve the maternal outcome.

The purpose of this study is to find out and understand the problems of overcoming the increase in Cyber Crime during the Covid-19 pandemic. The existence of Internet media that is so large and easy if not used wisely will give birth to crime in cyberspace or known as Cyber Crime. The problems that will be discussed in this study are how are the problems of overcoming the increase in Cyber Crime during the Covid-19 pandemic and what is the role of the Prosecutor in providing legal policies against Cyber Crime perpetrators, especially children. The findings of this study are that during the Covid-19 outbreak, it is certain that the number of Cyber Attacks that haunt the community will spike sharply and require immediate anticipation. This is because technological developments that are increasing demand the role of the government to carry out reforms to deal with Cyber Crime problems. Therefore, this problem can be done with the politics of criminal law in the scope of penal policy and non-penal policy.
