Loranthaceae are epiphytic hemiparasitic plants that cause considerable damage to cultivated and spontaneous woody plants around the world. These plants are also used locally to treat many health problems. The aim of this work is to identify the various potentials of Phragmanthera capitata exploited by tradi-practitioners of traditional medicine. An ethnobotanical survey based on direct and semi-structured interviews was conducted among 121 tradi-practitioners in the city of Douala. About 52.9% of the surveyed tradi-practitioners knew only P. capitata as a hemiparasitic plant while 47.1% knew about other Loranthaceae species. In the latter group, 56.2% differentiated them only through flowers. 26 plant species have been recognized as host plants to P. capitata, 73.1% of which are woody species. The most cited species were Persea americana, Dacryodes edulis and Psidium guajava. 64.5% of the tradi-practitioners surveyed used P. capitata only for medicinal purposes (UV = 0.64) and the rest added ritual practices (UV = 0.71). The inventory identified 38 health problems treated by this species among which, hypertension, diabetes, nerve pain, cancer, heart disorders and mystical diseases are the most concerned. The leaves (93.3%) and stems (56.7%) are mostly used. This study showed the importance of P. capitata in the traditional pharmacopoeia of Cameroon despite its pernicious nature. Phytochemical and pharmacological investigations are envisaged to highlight certain medicinal properties of P. capitata.

This study critically examines the procurement Act 663, its impact on accountability and transparency of officers in the public sector. Specific research objectives were set to determine the laid down procedures for procurement Act; determine the competence of procurement staff in the procurement sector and to review the budgetary perspective of the procurement entity in Ghana. As methodology, the study adopted a quantitative research approach while employing a case study approach. Overall, 380 questionnaires were administered as well as face-to-face interviews conducted. The study findings revealed that the staff lacked professional knowledge on procurement service as the financial budget allocated for staff training was vastly inadequate. The study also revealed that a varied level of compliance existed among the procurement institute studied in respect of part II of the Act. It was also established that, whereas there was a high level of compliance in areas of well-established tender committees among significant others, prior mandatory days before scheduled date for meetings and professional expertise in procurement practice showed relatively low compliance. Furthermore, even though high education levels were indicated in the study; little was revealed about the acquisition of professional qualification in procurement among staff in the entity. The study recommends among others that an operational manual for procurement Act should be given to all procurement staff to guide and make them conversant with the procedures that guide procurement profession.

The choroidal macular neovascularisation (NVC) of the young subject is a serious condition that threatens visual function. The decrease in marked visual acuity is related to the foveolar or juxta-foveolar localization of the neovessels. The therapeutic management of idiopathic NVC of the young subject is difficult due to frequent recurrences despite the treatment. The use of anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) represented a turning point in the management of this condition. The intravitreal (IVT) injection of bevacizumab appears to be effective and well tolerated.

Pregnancy related acute kidney injury (PRAKI) contributes to 3.7% of overall acute kidney injury cases in Indian subcontinent. It is a major cause of maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality in developing countries. To find out the maternal and foetal outcome in cases of pregnancy related acute kidney injury. A total of 50 patients with PRAKI were enrolled in this hospital based observational study. Cases were divided according to KDIGO criteria and maternal and foetal outcome were analysed in relation to age, parity, pregnancy status, mode of delivery, etiological factors and need for dialysis. Out of 50 cases mortality was 14% (7 cases). Aetiology was found to be multifactorial with sepsis in majority of cases (92%) and maximum cases were in the postpartum period. All the expired cases belonged to multipara group and all having anaemia and toxaemia of pregnancy. Out of 17 dialysed patients 29.4% (5 cases) expired

Fatigue is often cited as a contributing factor in air incidents and accidents. Usually, the words "fatigue" and "sleepiness" are used by aircrew to describe the same feelings, a questionnaire has been developed for subjective level assessment of fatigue and sleepiness among Moroccan aircrew. A 4-month prospective study including all aircrew (civilian, military) and air traffic controllers was conducted at the Aero-medical center of Rabat during their review visit. The questionnaire included the Pichot scale for fatigue and Epworth scale for sleepiness. It was filled anonymously. Out of more than 400 cards distributed, only 200 were exploitable. 23% of the subjects in the study had moderate fatigue. 6.5% of the sample presented moderate sleepiness and 4.5% had excessive daytime sleepiness. These two states seem to be preponderant in young aircrew population especially cabin crews. The occurrence of fatigue and daytime sleepiness in aircrew especially at the beginning of their career can be explained by the difficulty of adapting to aeronautical constraints. It is important to remember the countermeasures of fatigue to preserve aviation safety

AO type, A fractures were only studied with the majority of the fractures (66.6) were falling into AO type A3 (burst fractures). DENIS pain scale scores in conservative treatment, category 8 (53.3%) of patients were in the P3 category similarly in operative treatment 46.67 % of patients were in P1 category...

The malignant hyperthermia is a rare autosomal dominant disease of the skeletal muscles. Triggered by volatile anesthetics and succinylcholine which leads to excess release of calcium from sarcoplasmic reticulum that leads to hypermetabolic status of the body and it could be fatal. The incidence between 1:10000 and 1:250000 anesthetics. It is more common in males than females, and the young more than old people. MH cause by mutation in RYR1, CACHA1S or STAC3 genes. Symptoms of MH are muscle rigidity, tachycardia, hypercapnia, hypoxemia and hyperthermia. The symptoms of MH could be mistaken by other conditions and therefore delay the treatment. Treatment is by stopping the triggering agent, symptomatic treatment to prevent complications and the only pharmacological agent that reverses the MH is Dantrolen. IVCT is the gold standard to diagnose MH but it is invasive. Genetic testing is less invasive and also help in diagnosis of MH and identification of the affected gene, but it does not replace IVCT.

Nasal obstruction (NO) is defined as a single or bilateral nasal breathing disorder, recent or old, permanent or intermittent. It is a frequent problem in pediatrics and underestimated because of the absence of complaint in young children or unknown when the complaint is unilateral [1]. Although the majority of causes of ON belong to the infectious pathology, one must know to think of a syndrome malformative or tumoral [2]. The ON can cause significant troubles both locally and generally [1]. It is necessary to objectify the cause quickly especially in the newborn because of the vital consequences that this obstruction can cause [1].
