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…

Climate change is the greatest threat to humanity this century. The impact of dairy cows on climate change is currently being intensively discussed. There are several ways to reduce methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions on dairy farms. The aim of this study was to present some aspects of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in dairy farms to mitigate climate change. It has been found that methane emissions from dairy farms could be reduced by using feed additives such as the…

Background: Type D personality (negative affectivity and social inhibition) is associated with poor outcomes in cardiovascular and orthopaedic populations. Recent studies show significant associations with chronic back pain. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), particularly in its non-invasive form of transcutaneous auricular stimulation (taVNS), has emerged as a promising neuromodulatory approach to restore autonomic balance and attenuate inflammatory signaling.

Methods: A systematic…

Lumbar Disc Herniation (LDH) is a common and debilitating condition that often persists or recurs despite conventional medical treatments. It imposes substantial physical, psychological, and social burdens on patients. Modern medicine can offer temporary relief through conservative therapy or surgery, but these approaches do not address the deeper karmic causes that underlie LDH, such as killing karma and the attachment of spirits (souls of deceased humans or animals), which can lead to…

Our DFT calculation provided the first theoretical investigation on TfOH-mediated cascade cyclization from ethyl (E)-2-(2,3-diphenyl-1H-inden-1-ylidene)acetate. The triple bond was activated via protonation forming carbocation intermediate followed by rate-limiting 6-endo-dig cyclization resulting in six-membered ring. The naphthalene ester was generated via aromatization and concomitant recover of TfOH. The ester group is activated under acidic condition, from which two paths are…
