Antibiotics are substances that can be produced by a particular microorganism or synthesized either through synthetic or semi-synthetic processes, thereby inhibiting the development of alternatives. Microorganisms are essential bioactive and chemotherapeutic classes of compounds used for the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections in humans and animals. In veterinary medicines, antibiotics are generally used to improve or maintain the health of animals.

Iodine is a chemical element with the symbol I and atomic number 53. It is a micro nutrient required for proper functioning of the vertebrate endocrine system and plays similar roles in numerous other organisms. The recommended daily intake by WHO-UNICEF is between 90 mg/kg to 250 mg/kg in adults. The aim of the work is to determine the Iodine concentration in selected freshly harvested fish species namely Sole fish (Solea Solea), White Catfish (Ameiurus Catus), Croaker fish (Scianidae) and…

Hormonal therapy is the standard treatment for advanced androgen-dependent prostate adenocarcinoma. If tumor regression is not achieved early, the adenocarcinoma inevitably evolves toward androgen independence. This is due to the development of resistance mechanisms and the incomplete tissue-level cessation of androgen deprivation. Current research is focused on combined therapeutic strategies that will increase the effectiveness of androgen deprivation and delay recurrence. Androgen…

Background: Only 24.4% of students engaged in hands-on dissections, 42.7% observed, and 31.7% relied on manuals. Some cadavers are incompletely dissected, a need for a deeper understanding of medical students’ perceptions and the underlying cause of these behaviors with an of improving engagement and optimizing learning outcomes.

Methods: A qualitative study was conducted with first- and second-year medical students at Makerere University. Data were collected through focus group…

Date fruits (Phoenix Dactylifera) are increasingly gaining recognition in Nigeria as both staple and medicinal fruits due to their high nutritional and therapeutic value. This study assessed the proximate and mineral composition of dried dates obtained from two major local markets (Agbara and Iyana-iba) in Lagos State, Southwest of Nigeria, to provide scientific evidence of their dietary relevance and potentials in food and health industries. Carbohydrates were the dominant nutrient, with…

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains a major complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA), total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and fracture surgery. While anticoagulants such as low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are standard, aspirin (ASA) is increasingly considered due to its convenience, safety profile, and low cost.

Methods: We systematically reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and…

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a global health burden traditionally regarded as a metabolic disorder driven by insulin resistance, genetics, and lifestyle factors. Although scientific research has made considerable progress in identifying molecular mechanisms and therapeutic strategies, the disease is still widely considered irreversible. These approaches, however, overlook the deeper karmic origins of illness, which explain why patients are unable to restore normal pancreatic function or escape…

Introduction: Scabies, a contagious skin disease caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei, is a pressing public health issue, particularly in overcrowded and unsanitary environments like the Rohingya refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. The dense living conditions, limited access to clean water, and inadequate healthcare infrastructure foster the rapid transmission of scabies, resulting in severe itching, rashes, and secondary infections. Beyond its physical symptoms,…

Nanomaterials and biomaterials are becoming increasingly important in current scientific and industrial communities. Nanomaterials are beyond the perception of the human eye. Thus, to determine the structure, morphology, and exact formation of materials on the nanoscale, an authentic technique is required. Nanomaterials find extensive uses in various scientific disciplines. Textile Engineering is one of the important area of research. Today in various smart textiles different types of…

Purpose of this study is to improve knowledge of the physicochemical traits that determine the degree of soil fertility in Eastern Cameroonian farming systems. Using an auger and a completely randomized block design, soil samples were taken from the 0–30 cm stratum in accordance with a randomization procedure. In the laboratory, sixteen identified and conditioned samples were analyzed. According to the analyses, the texture of cocoa is clayey-sandy, that of oil palm is sandy clayey, that of…
