Terminalia ivorensis (TI) is used in West African ethnomedicine for the treatment of conditions including ulcers, malaria and wounds. Despite its widespread use, phytochemical profile TI remains largely undetermined. This research investigated effects extraction method, season, storage on composition to contribute towards understanding potential benefits.TI bark was collected September 2014, 2018 February during rainy or dry seasons Eastern Region, Ghana. Samples were extracted sequentially...
Abstract Background Non-toxic approaches to enhance radiotherapy outcomes are beneficial, particularly in ageing populations. Based on preclinical findings showing that high-fibre diets sensitised bladder tumours irradiation by modifying the gut microbiota, along with clinical evidence of prebiotics enhancing anti-cancer immunity, we hypothesised dietary fibre and its microbiota modification can radiosensitise via secretion metabolites and/or immunomodulation. We investigated efficacy...
ABSTRACT Hand hygiene (HH) is the most effective way to curb spread of healthcare-associated infections. Nonetheless, healthcare personnel encounter difficulties in adhering WHO HH recommendations. This study aimed investigate compliance and adherence after implementation an action plan a municipal hospital Moscow. An initial evaluation among clinical health workers was carried out June 2022 according guidelines followed by 3-month re-audit practices. The results were compared baseline...
Abstract Alpha-onocerin is a triterpenoid derived from Huperzia phlegmaria which used in ethnomedicine for the treatment of fever, headaches, pains and malaria. This study was conducted to evaluate safety, antipyretic anti-plasmodial activity alpha-onocerin artesunate (ART) co-administration ICR mice use traditional medicine. The effects (10, 30, 100, 300 mg/kg) ART (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 were assessed P. berghei -infected mice. /ART administered with fixed dose combination their median effective...
Background . Despite the high antenatal care attendance rate in Ghana, skilled birth is relatively low. There limited evidence on whether translates into Ghanaian research discourse. This study investigates birth. Methods We extracted data from 2014 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey. Data were analysed using descriptive binary logistic regression analyses at 5% confidence interval. Results The findings indicated a vast variation between attendance. Skilled was consistently low across...
Preoperative fasting is recommended by international guidelines as a means to minimize the risk of aspiration gastric content during induction anesthesia or surgery. Prolonged preoperative is, however, discouraged due associated side effects such dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, which can negatively impact recovery after An initial quality improvement study revealed poor implementation best practice on in three departments hospital an institutional action plan was devised enforce...

Abstract Background Non-toxic approaches to enhance radiotherapy outcomes are beneficial, particularly in ageing populations. We investigated the efficacy of high-fibre diets combined with irradiation C57BL/6 mice bearing bladder cancer flank allografts. Result Psyllium plus inulin significantly decreased tumour size and delayed growth following compared 0.2% cellulose raised intratumoural CD8 + cells. Post-irradiation, control positively correlated Lachnospiraceae family abundance....
The plant Terminalia ivorensis is used in traditional medicine as a diuretic and the management of renal failure. We reported previously that ethanol stem bark extract protects against gentamicin-induced hepatic damage rats. To further elucidate mechanism its renoprotective activity, we studied effects on Potassium dichromate–induced nephrotoxicity present study assessed effectiveness - oxidative injury evoked by potassium dichromate. Adult Sprague Dawley rats pre-treated with (100–1000...
Pharmacovigilance may be defined as the continuous monitoring of reaction between a drug agent or combination drugs patient took and steps taken to prevent any associated risk. Clinical trials conducted before approval cannot uncover every aspect health hazards approved drugs. People with carefully selected characteristics are monitored for safety efficacy drug; hence, common adverse reactions (ADRs) following proper use medication can detected. This calls report undocumented ADRs during...
Sexual violence against women is commonly justified in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) despite international commitments to halt it. This study investigated the association between healthcare decision-making capacity and justification of sexual among SSA. We used current datasets 30 African countries published January 2010 December 2018. The sample included 259,885 who were unions. extracted analysed data with Stata version 14. Chi-square test multilevel logistic regression models analyse data....

This study utilizedadvanced topic modeling techniques to analyze a wide range academic literature the role dietary in treatment. It highlights significant preventive therapeutic benefits fibers, especially their influence gastrointestinal health, immune system modulation, inflammation reduction. employed approach provide insights into...
Abstract Colorectal cancer is a global killer that causes approximately 940 thousand deaths annually. Terminalia ivorensis (TI) tropical tree, the bark of which used in African traditional medicine for treatment diabetes, malaria and ulcer. This study investigated TI as potential anticancer agent human colon cells vitro. was extracted sequentially with petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate ethanol. Antioxidant activity assessed by DPPH FRAP, differential effects on cell viability,...
Renal diseases pose a tremendous economic burden worldwide, and the only treatment options are renal transplantation dialysis, which remain unaffordable to low-income people. This study evaluated potential of polyherbal tea extract (RTE) as remedy for kidney disease using gentamicin-induced damage model in guinea pigs. Polyherbal was purchased from market extracted with 70% ethanol. RTE phytochemicals were screened qualitatively chemoprofiled by High-performance liquid chromatography. Acute...
Objective: Although all marketed antiretrovirals (ARVs) have proven efficacy, genetic differences can result in varied effectiveness. This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of different Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) combinations among patients attending HIV clinic at a Major Teaching Hospital Ghana.
 Methods: The retrospective involving 500 an Ashanti Region Results: Twelve major antiretroviral for HAART were prescribed center. most drug AZT+3TC+EFV and...
