Introduction: Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures that severely impact quality of life. The increasing need for safer and more effective anticonvulsant therapies has led to the exploration herbal remedies. This study investigates neuroprotective properties Psidium guajava leaf extract using pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) model induced in rats. Methods: Twenty-five male Wistar rats were divided into five groups: normal control, an epileptic standard drug...
Aim: the aim of this study was to elucidate effect alkaloid-rich fraction Dacryodes edulis on body weight, blood glucose level and microanatomy hippocampus STZ-induced Diabetic Wistar rats. Methodology: 25 adult male rats were used for experiment. These randomly assigned into 5 groups, each containing designated as A, B, C, D E. A group served normal control allowed access drinking water food adlibitum. Diabetes induced in groups B E through intraperitoneal administration 60 mg/kg...
Background: Penetrating abdominal trauma (PAT) typically involves the violation of cavity by a gun-shot wound (GSW) or stab Recently several studies have favored more conservative approach as opposed to mandatory exploratory laparotomy. Methods: Patients admitted in University Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH), Calabar, with PAT from January 2008 December 2010 were prospectively studied based on questionnaire. The total number patients was compared emergencies, traumatic injuries and seen...
Gossypiboma though uncommon is under-reported. It an infrequent but avoidable surgical error. The retained sponge induces two types of reactions, fibrinous response resulting in granuloma formation and exudative leading to abscess formation. This serious medical condition may result significant morbidity mortality with medico legal implications. We present cases guaze(gossypiboma) seen a busy unit within three months. pathogenesis due gauze induced adhesions that cause intestinal obstruction...
Background: Road traffic injury remains a major source of blunt abdominal trauma (BAT). and other forms have become health problem throughout the world especially in low middle-income countries. In previous study (2005-2007), constituted 79 (4.8%) cases; BAT, 40 (53%) penetrating (PAT), 39 (47%). Effective policies on road safety should be developed based local research not adapted models. We present this to highlight possible effect legislation ban use motorcycles trauma. Methods: Patients...
The relative rarity of gallbladder disease has been documented in various parts Africa. Recently the incidence reported as rising some African countries. We undertook this study to evaluate indications for cholecystectomy our center and compare with others.This is a retrospective 18 open cholecystectomies 10 years.The ages ranged from 13 65 years (mean 39.2 years). There were 15 females 3 males (F:M? = ?ratio 5:1). Calculous cholecystitis 9 (50%) patients, acalculous 8 (44.4%) patient...

Two with lesions located in anterior triangle neck, while third had bilateral posterior neck. All were referrals without prior diagnosis...
Abstract Background Local Nigerian men use Auricularia polytricha (wood ear mushroom) growing in farm lands and dead woods to manage sexual dysfunction this practice has been going on for ages without supporting evidence from scientific experiments. This study was investigate the ameliorative effect of ethanolic extract male sex hormones (FSH, LH, testosterone), sperm parameters (sperm count, motility, morphology), histopathological examination testis using Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced...
The actual underlying mechanism of alterations in testicular histomorphometric parameters resulting from diabetes-induced oxidative stress is still not well understood because the absence supporting evidence scientific experiments. This study was conducted to investigate correlation between serum markers with and reticular fiber density Streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wistar rat. experiment included twenty eight adult male rats sorted into four groups, Group A (Control), other animals were...
<title>Abstract</title> Purpose Pediatric low-grade gliomas (pLGG) are the most common brain tumors in children and achieving complete resection (CR) is important prognostic factor. There multiple intraoperative tools to optimise extent of (EOR). This article investigates discusses role ultrasound (iUS) magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) treatment pLGG. Methods The tumor registries at Tuebingen, Rome Pretoria were searched for pLGG with use iUS data on EOR. Liverpool Tuebingen iMRI where...
An edible mushroom, Aricularia polytricha is used by local Nigerians in managing diabetes-related complications including infertility and diabetic neuropathy, but this age-long practice has been going on without the corresponding clinical trial acceptable experimentation. β-D-Glucan polysaccharide a bioactive fractionate of Auricularia polytricha, an mushroom with nutritional therapeutic property. This study was intended to investigate neuroprotective effect hyperglycaemia-induced cerebral...
