The aims of this study are to analyze and find weaknesses in the regulation of legal protection for wives who have been talak divorced by their husbands due to their husband's mistakes and to find a reconstruction of legal protection regulations for wives who are talak divorced by their husbands due to the husband's mistakes based on the value of justice in a research that uses constructivism paradigm. The approach method used is empirical juridical, namely the application of normative legal provisions in action on divorce legal events, especially divorce divorces. The data used are primary data, secondary data, and tertiary data which were analyzed descriptively. The legal theory used is the theory of Islamic justice, the theory of the legal system and the theory of legal protection. The results of the study show that the weakness of the regulation of legal protection for wives who got talak divorced by their husbands due to the husband's fault lies in the unclear article on the type of reason for the divorce and its consequences, especially when the husband who handed down the divorce was the perpetrator of the affair, and the wife as the victim did not receive compensation. therefore, the legal reconstruction can be done by adding new norms to Article 41 of Law no. 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, and also Article 149 of the Presidential Instruction (INPRES) No. 1 of 1991 concerning the KHI, namely: "The ex-husband is obliged to provide compensation in the form of a year's income to the ex-wife if the divorce is due to the husband's fault, but if the husband is unable to fulfill it then he must make a statement of incapacity and apologize to the wife for not being able to do so able to pay for it.”

In order to treat Hyperlipidaemia, Rosuvastatin, a Dyslipidaemia drug, inhibits the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme. However, the calcium form of Rosuvastatin (RST) has low bioavailability, undesirable dissolving characteristics, and issues with absorption. Thus objective of the study is to increase the solubility and dissolution rate of Rosuvastatin calcium a poorly water-soluble 3-hydroxy 3-methyl glutaryl CoA (HMG-CoA) Reductase inhibitor through inclusion Complexation with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). Therefore, the goal of the current study was to create a Rosuvastatin tablet formulation for oral dissolution. Rosuvastatin immediate tablets were developed using the direct compression showed good results, the prepared inclusion complex with β-CD by kneading method exhibited greatest enhancement in solubility and fastest dissolution (97.363) % RST release in 15 min. The inclusion complex contains RST: β-CD (1:1) and (1:2) was formulated into tablets using super disintegrants like Sodium starch glycolate, Cross povidone and Croscarmellose. All the mentioned batches were prepared and granules were evaluated for pre-compression parameters such as bulk density, tapped density and compressibility index. Tablets were evaluated for weight variation, thickness, hardness, friability; disintegration time and were found to be within the limits. In vitro dissolutions were carried out in 0.05M phosphate buffer with a pH of 6.8.

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the body's system. AIDS could be a chronic potentially life threatening condition caused by HIV. This article provides a summary of studies assessing the pharmacokinetics of antiretroviral drug Darunavir. Darunavir is a BCS class II drug which inhibits the HIV protease enzyme by forming an inhibitor-enzyme complex there by preventing cleavage of the polyproteins. This research work aims to increase the penetration of Darunavir into deeper layers of skin by formulating cubosomes of Darunavir into a genital Gel that helps in enhancing the Bioavailablity by providing first pass metabolism. Cubosomes were prepared by the Top- down approach (Emulsification method) employing GMO as a lipid phase vehicle, poloxamer 407 as a stabilizer and distill water as an aqueous phase. Darunavir is an antiretro viral drug with good bioavailablity. The prepared cubosomes were characterized by Visual examination, Entrapment efficiency, Particle size, Zeta potential, In-vitro drug release studies. Optimised formulation (F4) showed good response among all the opposite cubosomal preparation. This (F4) cubosomal prepration was made as Gel using Carbopol 974 BP,and are studied for pH, Drug content,and Diffusion studies. Among all the prepration DARf6 was found for example the utmost drug release. This novel cubosomal genital gel would be promising system for effective drug delivery.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are common in patients with Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Lack of exercise and obesity in the population; the main causes of T2D prevalence. Therefore there is a need for joint treatment of diabetes and CVDs. Calcium-channel-blocking drugs and angiotensin-converting–enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are considered very effective. Angiotensin-converting–enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are thought to be very efficient in reducing the risk of death and hospitalization in patients with HF (heart failure). These inhibitors act as potential regulators of insulin and cardiac failure. This review article focused on the mechanism of action of two the action of drugs, Enalapril (angiotensin-converting–enzyme (ACE) inhibitors) and nifedipine (Calcium-channel-blocker), and their clinical effect on reducing the CVDs and heart failure in T2DM patients. Furthermore, novel immuno targets are needed to discover in future that may lower the risk of deaths among diabetes patients.

This paper explores the prevalence of sleeping sickness in British Southern Cameroons and examines the various preventive measures implemented by the colonial administration to slow down the scourge of the disease in Southern Cameroons. The disease had a deep rooted impact on the indigenous population and was recognized as public health problem in the territory. Hence there was the need to implement preventive measures against the prevalence of the disease. The British were obliged by articles 2 and 10 of the mandate and trusteeship agreements respectively to ensure the social advancement of the people. It was in this context that the colonial administration and native authorities faced with the scourge of the disease engaged preventive measures to control the disease. This explains why preventive measures including population resettlement, travel restrictions fly depopulation and bush clearing was primordial in the fight against the disease. This paper argues that preventive measures succeeded to an extent in rolling back the scourge of sleeping sickness in British southern Cameroons. Preventive measures impeded the advancement of socio-economic activities in most disease prevalent areas.

Introduction: Oligohydramnios or decreased amniotic fluid volume (AFI<5cm) is associated with adverse maternal & Pregnancy outcome. Amniotic fluid is a very complicated yellowish fluid located between the amniotic sac and the fetus. Oligohydramnios is associated with adverse Pregnancy outcome in the form of meconium staining, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), caesarean section for abnormal fetal heart rate tracing, low Apgar score and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission. Objective: To evaluate the pregnancy outcome of oligohydramnios and borderline amniotic fluid index. Methods: This was a prospective study was carried out at Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Rangpur Medical College & Hospital, Rangpur, Bangladesh from January 2022 to June 2022. Total number of sample size will be taken 100. Among them 50 patient of oligohydramnios and 50 patients with borderline amniotic fluid index will be taken as group-A & group-B respectively. 100 singleton pregnancies beyond 28 weeks of gestation with AFI< 8 cm, delivered within seven days of admission. Patients were divided in two groups, those with AFI ≤ 5 cm and borderline AFI of 5.1 to 8 cm. Pregnancy outcome was studied in the form of onset of labor, mode of delivery, fetal heart rate variations, meconium staining and lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) for fetal distress, Apgar score, birth weight, NICU admission and neonatal mortality. Results: Amongst the study group, 50% of cases had oligohydramnios (AFI ≤5 cm) as against 50% with marginal or borderline AFI. There was no statistical difference in age, parity and gestational age in both the groups. The mean amniotic fluid index in the first group with AFI ≤5 cm was 3.48±1.10 and that of second group with AFI of 5.1 to 8 cm was 6.69±0.75. On comparison of mode of delivery in between both the groups, a statistically significant difference was observed for caesarean section in oligohydramnios with AFI ≤ 5 cm group compared to AFI of 5.1 to 8 cm group. Patients with oligohydramnios with AFI ≤5 cm were significantly associated with IUGR and presence of abnormal umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry (p <0.05). Adverse Pregnancy outcome was seen in higher percentage of patients having AFI ≤5 cm than with borderline AFI. The difference was statistically significant for overall caesarean delivery rate and LSCS for fetal distress (p <0.05). Conclusion: An amniotic fluid index of ≤5 cm is commonly associated with intrauterine growth restriction and abnormal umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry studies. Adverse Pregnancy outcome is seen in higher percentage of patients having oligohydramnios than that of borderline AFI. Statistically significant difference for overall caesarean delivery rate as well as LSCS for fetal distress mandates the need for close antepartum and intrapartum monitoring.

When the Administration of Criminal Justice Act,2015 was enacted, the purpose among others, was the protection of the rights of the suspect/defensdant and the society from crime. In the prosecution of its purpose, the Act provides for the defendant’s right to bail subject to the discretion of the court to stipulate deposit of money among other terms as a condition for the bail. Further more, the Act provides for the establishment of professional surety regime whereby registered bondsmen are allowed to stand surtety for defendant on the payment of fees to be detrmined on agreement with the defendant. The consequence is the growth of bail industry at Abuja and other cities of Nigeria, where bondsmen force relations of defendants to contribute money in payment of their charges in the same manner as ransom is contributed to kidnappers for the freedom of their loved ones in detention. In this paper, the writer appraised the security implication of the new bail regime on Nigeria and its implication on the right of the defendant to presumption of innocence enshrined in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as ameded). In the course of so doing, the writer uses the doctrinal research method and drew from the American experience on the subject before arriving at conclusion.

Public authorities, bodies and institutions are established by statutory legislations and must therefore carryout their functions and operations in accordance with those prescribed statutory provisions. At any point those public authorities act outside those statutes, the general public should have unrestricted access to courts in order to checkmate those exegesis. The courts therefore have supervisory jurisdiction on public bodies and institutions under the realm of judicial review to determine the legality or otherwise of public institutions’ decisions affecting the general public or their properties. This article critically analyses the principles of judicial review in the United Kingdom and in Nigeria to see if there is anything the latter can learn form the former.
