Abstract Background Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 is ongoing causing human and socioeconomic losses. Objective To know how far the virus has spread in Niger State, Nigeria, a pilot study was carried out to determine seroprevalence, patterns, dynamics, risk factors state. Methods A cross sectional design Clustered-Stratified-Random sampling strategy were used select 185 test participants across IgG IgM Rapid Test Kits (Colloidal gold immunochromatography...
The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 is causing ongoing human and socioeconomic losses.To know how far the virus has spread in Niger State, Nigeria, a pilot study was carried out to determine seroprevalence, patterns, dynamics, risk factors state.A cross-sectional design clustered, stratified random sampling strategy were used select 185 test participants across state. IgG IgM rapid kits (colloidal gold immunochromatography lateral flow system) presence or absence of antibodies blood...
Shea nut cake (SNC) is the solid residue produced after shea butter extraction process. The SNC could provide a low-cost substrate for bacterial lipase production. Greater yield are among benefits Solid State Fermentation (SSF). However, there have been less instances of production by bacteria than fungi in SSF. current study aimed at improving on SSF using Response Surface Methodology. Lipase-producing (LPB) were isolated from mill effluent pond and screened tributyrin agar plate. influence...
The gene for aromatic amino acid aminotransferase (ArAT) from Paracoccus denitrificans was cloned, sequenced, and overexpressed in Escherichia coli cells. sequence differed that reported previously [Takagi, T., Taniguchi, Yamamoto, Y., Shibatani, T. (1991) Biotechnol. Appl. Biochem. 13, 112–119]. enzyme (pdArAT) purified to homogeneity, characterized. It similar aspartate (AspAT) ArAT of E. (ecArAT) many respects, including gross protein structure spectroscopic properties. pdArAT showed...
Synthetic agrochemicals are increasingly being relied upon as the easiest of way eliminating pests on our farm.However, synthetic chemical increases heavy metals in soil, which is then likely transferred to plants that grow such soils, with associated risks long term toxicity humans consume them and other biota ecosystem.Nonetheless, some like neem plant have been reported contain components natural pesticides.This study was therefore determine comparative presence concentration Jute leaves...
The study investigate a series of selected heavy metal pollution soil, the extent their uptake by Telfairia occidentalis and Amaranthus cruentus as well ecological risk around dumpsite in Chanchaga Minna, Niger State, Nigeria. Soil samples were collected at 15 cm depth with aid soil auger vegetable from other no activities served control. random physicochemical parameters such pH, total nitrogen, phosphorus, organic matter, carbon exchangeable cations (i.e., K+, Mg2+ Na+) using standard...
The effects of the aqueous leaf extract Combretum micranthum were studied on gastro intestinal smooth muscle rodents. was screened using isolated rabbit jejunum, guinea pig ileum and rat uterus. produced relaxation jejunum ileum. inhibited by phentolamine. effect may involve adrenergic receptors. had no pregnant non-pregnant result preliminary phytochemical screening showed that, contains alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, saponins, tannins phlabotannins. properties be due to presence these...
Ficus capensis plant and its parts have diverse trado-medicinal application in Nigeria folklore. This study was designed to investigate the vitro phytochemical anti-typhoid potential of root, stem leaves as an attempt proffer solution challenges faced by modern medicine especially complete cure microbial-associated diseases a result their abrupt unpredictable genetic mutations. The powdered leaf, root were extracted with various solvents viz., n-hexane, chloroform, methanol water serial...
The leaves of cissus multistriata were collected, air-dried for two weeks and pulverized into powder; this was folowed by extraction with either chloroform or water phytochemical screening the extracts revealed presence carbohydrates, proteins, vitamin C, saponins, steroids, cardiac glycosides, lipids E; whereas balsam, anthraquinone, tannins alkaloids, cardenolides phlobactannin completely absent. aqueous extract administered to experimental rats at doses 100, 200, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400...
Cities in Nigeria have been experiencing exceptional changes terms of population and spatial extent. The rapid rate these growths the inadvertent expansion cities resulted several negative consequences. This research is aimed at evaluating physical commuting pattern selected peri-urban settlements. objectives are to examine availability utilities, services infrastructure; assess characteristics; appraise characteristics between city design adopted mixed method which involves investigation...
The incorporation of phytoactive compounds in the management malarial vectors holds promise for development innovative and efficient alternatives. Nevertheless, molecular physiological responses that these bioactive substances induce remain underexplored. This present study investigated toxicity different concentrations aqueous methanol extracts Ocimum tenuiflorum against larvae Anopheles gambiae (sensu stricto) unraveled possible underlying pathways responsible observed effects. FTIR GCMS...
Abstract Background Serum proteins designated as liver function biomarkers are used to evaluate patients for hepatic dysfunction. Hepatic effect of Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) needs further studies in HIV mono-infected patients. In this study, clinically defined patient datasets were analysed protein levels HIV-1 seropositive with and without ART. Materials Methods Data collected the study groups, consisting control group ART statistically differences among groups. All subjects groups...
Herbal medicine despite its increase usage globally is being plagued by inadequate research on their effectiveness. Stachytarpheta indica commonly known as snakeweed used locally in the management of asthma, headache, alopecia, bronchitis, bruise, chest cold, constipation, itch, diarrhea, skin sore, vermifuge, dysentery, dysmenorrhea among others. This study investigated phytochemical composition, quantitative proximate parameters and vitro anti-inflammatory activity leaves S. using...
