In order to establish the prevalence and impact of helminths in domestic animals in Vom, Central Nigeria between January 2009 - December 2010, a total of 1,508 faecal samples from various breed of domestic animals viz: cattle, sheep, dogs, pigs, horses, rabbits and goats were carefully examined using formal ether concentration technique. Out of the 556 cattle faeces examined, 480(31.8%) were infected and positive for multiple helminthic infection, Strongyle-like eggs (43.2%) and Eimeria bovis (13.3%) Moniezia worms (0.5%). From 204 of Canine (dogs) faecal samples examined, 52 (3.5%) were infected. Ancylostoma braziliense (12.8%), Troglotrema salmincolo 0.5%). Caprine (Goats) faecal samples indicated Eimera parvi (19.3%) and Nematodirus spathiger (0.5%), Oesophagostomum columbianum (0.5%). Equine (Horse) samples indicated Strongylus spp (92.3%) while Triodontophorus tenuicollis (7.7%). In Laprine (Rabbits), Eimeria stiedia was (66.7%) while E. intestinalis was (33.3%). Ovine (Sheep) had Eimeria species (65.1%) and Strongyle-like eggs (66.3%) while Taenia hydatigena (1.2%); Swine (Pig) samples, Oesophagostomum dentatum (20.8%) and Schistosoma suis (0.4%) respectively. In all, 963 samples were positive for different parasites with the overall prevalence of 63.8%. The study revealed that gastrointestinal parasites and their eggs are still endemic in the study area which is indicative of a neglect of simple management practices which has a negative impact on Livestock production in Nigeria

Routine and strategic control measures should be factored into production to increase profit and good health

Abstract: The concept of Africanity traverses many decades, being a socio-political ethos or cogitation perceived as manifest reaction against slavery and colonization. As a resistance mode, imbuement of the Africanity philosophy has shaped people of African descent in the Diaspora and many post-slavery generations all over the world in maintaining their African roots identity. This paper examines the concept of Africanity in the 21st Century Africa, using the Nigerian popular music scene as a paradigm. Against the backdrop of the present mainstream Hip hop music style referred to as ‘Afro hip hop’, the study will use music and video analytical procedures with the objective of identifying the various media through which hip hop artistes project their Africanity. It is quite evident that music artistes still strive to maintain their African identity despite subscribing to a Western originated music style. This is made manifest through language use, nomenclature, message, visual projection, and sonic arrangement among other parameters.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with increased metabolic processes and oxidative stress. The trace elements are important co-factors in these events. Thus this study was conducted to compare serum levels of lipid profile, Zinc and HbA1c between type 2 diabetic patients and normal controls. The study was designed to find out the relation between lipid profile levels to severity and complication of diabetes mellitus. Degree of lipid profile with antioxidants and blood glucose in Sudanese with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Total 400 human subjects, out of which100 healthy individuals of age group (years) were taken as control and 300 diabetic subjects of age group (years) were taken as cases. There was significant increase in the lipid profile except HDL cholesterol, which is decreased, also significant decrease in trace elements chromium and Zinc. Impaired metabolism of these minerals may have a contributory role in the progression of DM and later development of complications

Abstract: This study sought to understand and explain the effect of Motivation and Job Satisfaction on the teachers of Mentari School Bintaro (MSB). Sampling method used was purposive sampling, using 97 teachers as samples out of a population of 129. The use of 97 samples was the researcher’s justification based on the fulfillment of respondent response requirements for the eligibility of questionnaire data to be processed further. Eligible questionnaire data shall have corresponding response for each statement proposed and it shall not be outlier. Data collection method used was in the form of questionnaires, using Likert scale. Validity and reliability testing included the Pearson product moment and statistic Cronbach’s Alpha tests. Analytical method used to answer the hypotheses was multiple linear regressions. The results of the study showed that motivation and job satisfaction simultaneously had significant and positive effect on performance. In partial, motivation had significant and positive effect on the performance of the teachers. Likewise, job satisfaction also had significant and positive effect on the teachers’ performance. The highest correlation was between the dimension of extrinsic motivation found in motivation variable and the dimension of learning evaluation in performance variable. Improving teacher’s motivation by involving them in the school’s decision making, coupled with the school’s management support is expected to improve the teachers’ productivity, thus enabling the school to achieve its goals.

The occurrence of monoclonal gammopathy of undeterminate significance (MGUS) in an autoimmune disease such as systemic lupus is not common but it is not as rare as the occurrence of a malignant disease such as Multiple myeloma. The complexity of this association lies in the challenges of monitoring MGUS’s patients who are likely to progress towards malignant hemopathy. Some risk factors for this progression have been described (rate of monoclonal compound, paraprotein isotype, medullary plasmacytosis or even light chains). However, none of these factors taken independently allows us to correctly categorize patients. Scores combining several of these factors have been proposed to define groups of patients with different evolving risks. The aim of this work is to report this association (systemic lupus and MGUS) in a 52 year old woman, in order to alert the clinicians about this eventuality when monitoring their lupus patients.

UV spectroscopy shows that dextromethorphan, guaifenesin and caffeine bind to ferrous gluconate, causing their spectra to shift. From this change, it is calculated that the binding energy is in the order of caffeine > guaifenesin ≈ dextromethorphan. This is consisternt with the electrochemical/potentiometric data obtained in a previous study which detected electrons emitted from these drug-iron complexes if they were irradiated by UV light or connected to solutions having different electrochemical potentials. Based on the result of this study, ferrous gluconate is more useful for the rapid screening of the drug-heme or drug-iron interactions in biological/pharmacological systems than free (unbound) iron. It may also find utility in energy production, bio-sensing and photo-electronics.

Education is critical for the development of any country the world over. Countries have been striving at improving what is considered quality education for the purpose of realizing the benefits of such education. In Tanzania it is a prerequisite for the heads of department to have a master degree. This paper therefore expounds the relevance of master degree program in local government council of Tanzania with a focus on Mbeya city and Mbeya district councils. It is a mixed methods study, which utilizes interview, documentation, experiential and observation as the major information collection tools. The analysis of information has observed descriptive strategy, which apprehends logical reasoning through systemic thinking. It is a multi-case study which includes the two districts which are Mbeya city and Mbeya district coucil. Thirty workers have been subjected in the study. 15 workers from each council who hold a master degree participated in the study. Hence, the total sample was 30. This was 100 percent of the workers with master degree at the headquarters of each council. Percentiles and relevant analytical tools have been used to provide required information for consumption of the entire continent through analysis. The paper concludes that 96% of the interviewed indicated that the programs they studied could not help them in improving their work at the councils. The findings further reveal that what they have gained is the status quo of being seen educated and thus being able to maintain the positions as heads of department and or candidates for being nominated as heads of department. We therefore suggest that it is imperative for the turnaround on the programs we teach at university levels for the purpose of providing relevant knowledge which provides answers to the problems we face in our societies.

Malaria is a mosquito born disease caused by protozoa belonging to family Plasmodium. According to the WHO, involvement of liver in Plasmodium falciparum is not an uncommon feature and presence of jaundice (bilirubin ≥ 3 mg/dl) is one of the signs of malaria. Involvement of liver in malaria is a common feature and may manifest as jaundice, hepatomegaly & elevated liver enzymes like aspartate & alanine transferase. Detection of malaria positive cases and correlation of all malaria positive cases with Liver Function Test (LFT). The study was performed on 100 malaria positive patients. Collection of blood sample was done by venipuncture under aseptic conditions in the EDTA vial for the diagnosis of malaria and in the plain vial to perform liver function test. Malaria was diagnosed by the microscopy of PBS. The LFT was performed using auto analyzer and Erba diagnostic kit, according to manufacturer instructions. Out of 100 malaria positive patients total 70 (70%) patients were found having liver function test deranged while rest 30 (30%) patients were having normal liver function test. 48 (48%) patients showed deranged level of Total bilirubin, 59 (59%) patients showed deranged level of deranged level of SGOT, 57 (57%) patients showed deranged level of SGPT while deranged level of ALP is showed by 34 (34%) patients. Liver dysfunction in malarial infection ranged from mild elevation of liver enzymes and serum bilirubin (≥ 3 mg/dl) to acute hepatitis. It indicates severe illness with high frequency of complications and mortality rates and P. falciparum malaria is more effective to cause hepatic dysfunction that P. vivax malaria.

Emotional intelligence (EQ) plays a vital role in psychological and social adjustment of individuals. Present study was designed to make analysis of the facet of EQ in context of differently able employees. The main objectives of this study is to measure EQ level of differently able employees, to investigate the role of employees demographic variations of age, education, experience and income is determining their index of EQ. Baron emotional inventory developed by Baron was used to measure the EQ, it has 133 items and 5 subscales named as interpersonal skills, intrapersonal skills, Stress control, Adoptability and General mood and manner. A simple random sample of 50 employees was taken from Govt. and public sectors. Among them 39 were male and 11 were female, whose aged ranged from 25 to 50 years. Findings revealed that younger employees have higher EQ as compared to elder employees. It was also revealed that professionally educated empolyees are having low emotional intelligence compared to other categories. Hence, it is concluded from the result that when the level of education increases.

An attempt was made in the present study to test for in vivo Brine Shrimp Lethality Assay (BSLT) and molecular docking studies of some newly synthesized 2-substituted 4,6 di chloro 1,3 triazine-chalcone hybrids as potential cytotoxic gents. Cytotoxicity was evaluated in terms of LC50 (lethality concentration). Thirty nauplii were added into three replicates of each concentration of the synthesized compounds. After 24 hours the surviving brine shrimp larvae were counted and LC50 was assessed. Schrodinger Mastero docker was used for insilico molecular docking studies on selected cancer protein Targets. The results drawn from the preliminary studies showed that the compounds TCH-9, 12 and 20, 24 were potent against the brine shrimp with minimum LC50 values of 3.125, and 6.25μg/mL respectively. These findings suggest that the synthesized 1,3,5 triazine chalcone hybrids possess potential cytotoxic activity.

Legibility and accuracy are the key features of every handwritten prescription. Large number of medication errors and even death of patients may occur due to illegible prescriptions. The present study was undertaken to assess the handwritten O.P.D. prescriptions of a tertiary care Medical College and Hospital in India, focusing the aspects of legibility and accuracy. For this study, scanned copies of 1268 O.P.D prescriptions were taken from hospital pharmacy over a period of 6 months (Feb 2015 to July 2015) and analyzed. Results were expressed in percentages. About 98% prescriptions scored 3 and 2% prescriptions scored 4.There was no prescription with miss-spelt drug names. Formulations and drug strengths were not mentioned in 11.1% and 7% of cases respectively. Abbreviations of names of medicines were written by 11% of prescribers. Seventy nine percent of prescribers preferred to use archaic terminology. Twenty percent of the prescribers did not put the leading zero where applicable and only 4% of the prescribers used capital letter. Generation of an error-free and legible prescription requires adequate care and attention about the multiple components which affect the legibility and accuracy of prescriptions. E-prescribing and computerized documentation may eliminate errors in prescribing.

We describe a case of calciphylaxis in a 54 years old man known Diabetes Type II, Hypertensive and post cadaveric transplant in the year 2000. Patient became hemodialysis dependent after the diagnosis of calciphylaxis was confirmed. Patient was treated with sodium thiosulfate in addition to intensive wound care. The pathology of the calciphylaxis is poorly understood and an effective treatment is not yet well established. Our observation in this case report that sodium thiosulfate failed to show response probably due to the fact that patient has multifactorial risk factors to associate with calciphylaxis before patient deteriorate and passed away four weeks after the diagnosis of calciphylaxis
