Abstract The rising homicide rates in Nigeria underscore the necessity for comprehensive post‐mortem interval (PMI) estimations to enhance reliability of forensic investigations. This study investigates impact Marabunta ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) on decomposition process and PMI estimation pig carcasses during wet season Okuku, Nigeria. Using two juvenile domestic pigs, we employed a controlled experimental approach at Department Anatomy Forensic Anthropology Research Facility. spanned...
Post mortem interval refers to the time taken for a body (carcass) completely decay; and this begins immediately at death. This timeline is affected by several factors but especially climatic factors. means that post varies from one climate or region another. Therefore, determine affect in Guinea forest-savannah vegetation of Nigeria, decomposition study was carried out using domestic pigs. Data were collected four animals scored according Total Body Score (TBS) scale. Pearson correlation...
Cannabis, derived from the Cannabis sativa plant, has seen a surge in global use, particularly medicinal and recreational contexts, over past decade. The VTA, critical component of brain’s reward system, plays pivotal role motivation addiction through its dopaminergic pathways. While research examined behavioral neurochemical effects cannabis, there is limited exploration cannabis-induced histological changes thus, this study investigated chronic cannabis ethanol extract exposure on anxiety...
Abstract Background The prostate gland plays a vital role in the production of seminal fluid, which serves to nourish and transport sperm. Prostate-related conditions, particularly benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) cancer (PC), represent significant health concerns among men globally, with notable impact African regions. This study investigated prevalence BPH PC suburban towns Cross River State, Nigeria. research aims provide critical data for healthcare planning intervention. Methods A...
Preeclampsia is a significant hypertensive disorder in pregnancy, characterized by elevated blood pressure and proteinuria after the 20th week of gestation. It affects 5-8% pregnancies poses substantial risks to both maternal fetal health. This study investigates association between preeclampsia, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), pregnant women attending Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki, Ebonyi State. A cohort 33 preeclampsia was enrolled, with measurements used...
This study analyzed the differences in decomposition patterns and post mortem intervals of hanged surface carcasses using domestic pigs as human analogues. Six weighing between 25kg–30kg were separated into two groups comprising three each. Three on branches trees at research facility; whereas other placed soil surface. Daily periodic observations noted scored for a period 30 days alongside accumulated degree days. There is statistically significant (P = 0.001) difference pigs. The...

Decomposition timeline refers to the time taken for a body (carcass) completely decay; and this begins immediately at death. This is affected by several factors but especially climatic factors. means that decomposition should vary from one climate another. Therefore, study carried out an investigation in Guinea forest-savannah vegetation of Nigeria using adult Sus scrofa domestica so as determine affect its decomposition. Findings showed statistically (p<.05) influenced rate are atmospheric...
