Cervical cancer remains a major health problem, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection serving as the primary precursor. Despite global efforts to combat cervical cancer, including vaccination, critical knowledge gap persists regarding HPV prevalence, genotype distribution, their correlation lesions LMICs. This study has assessed prevalence of infection, identified most common genotypes, evaluated at University Teaching Hospital...
Many people in sub-Saharan Africa suffer from protein malnutrition; this results negative health and economic impacts. Winged bean ( Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC.) is a tropical underutilized legume with beneficial nutritional characteristics such as high content, which may help to alleviate these problems. The proximate composition (fat, moisture crude protein, ash, carbohydrate) antinutrient (tannin phytate) level of winged seeds tubers were determined using 50 accessions. In the...
The phytochemical and antimicrobial analysis of the crude extract oil gotten from seeds Citrullus colocynths were carried out using standard methods. result photochemical screening showed that contains alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, terpenoids anthraquinone. bacterial activity was assessed against a panel pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi Staphylococcus aureus. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) Bactericidal (MBC) results...
Abstract Underutilized, or orphan legumes, are widely distributed across farming landscapes in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) but often have low yields and do not fulfill their potential due to very limited research, breeding, development, marketing, awareness of benefits. These advantages include nutritional quality climate resilience. In this review, we focus on Bambara groundnut, African yam bean, Kersting's groundnut. Knowledge the challenges rewards exploiting them will provide opportunities...
African yam bean ( Sphenostylis stenocarpa (Hochst ex. A. Rich.) Harms) is an annual legume with the capacity to produce seeds in a pod and tubers varying seed patterns colors. It suggested have potential significantly boost food security sub-Saharan Africa due its considerable nutritional qualities but still yet underutilized. Many farmers show limited interest production owing knowledge of profile, income generation for small-holder farmers’, processing, other related utilization concerns....
Despite the increasing morbidity and mortality associated with fungal diseases in low-income sub-Saharan Africa countries, it is apparent that most of pathogens involved have been omitted from dilated list neglected emerging tropical (NETDs). Because these are inextricably linked other underlying such as tuberculosis AIDS, main causing viz. Pneumocyctosis meningitis categorized deadly AIDS-associated opportunistic infections, they often coexist tuberculosis. In addition, infections like...
Abstract. Tamasi AA, Shoge MO, Adegboyega TT, Chukwuma EC. 2021. Phytochemical analysis and in-vitro antimicrobial screening of the leaf extract Senna occidentalis (Fabaceae). Biofarmasi J Nat Prod Biochem 19: 57-64. Due to use as an antimalarial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, antibacterial agent traditionally, this study examined phytochemical composition activity isolated methanol, ethyl acetate, hexane fractions leaves occidentalis. Qualitative quantitative analyses...
Abstract. Adegboyega TT, Abberton MT, Abdelgadir AH, Mahamadi D, Olaniyi OA, Ofodile S, Babalola OO. 2021. Variation in winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) growth parameters, seed yield, nodulation, and nitrogen fixation. Asian J Agric 5: 61-71. Underutilized legumes are widely distributed tropical agriculture associated with low yield. Thus they have not really been fully explored due to lack of research investment, breeding programs targeting crop improvement, marketing, awareness...
