210 stool samples were collected from primary school children (100 male and 110 female).The stool samples were processed by wet prepration, formal ether concentration technique and saturated sugar flotation technique. The result revealed that out of 210 stool samples, 52 were found positive for intestinal parasites. This constituted an overall prevalence rate of 24.8%. The study revealed that the prevalence of intestinal parasites was 29% among males while it was 20.9% among females. The highest prevalence rate (35%) was reported among the 6-8 years age groups, while the lowest prevalence rate (10.3%) was reported among 12-14 years age groups. The prevalence rate of different parasites was as follow: Giardia lamblia (16.6%), Hymenolepis nana (6.7%), Taenia species (0.5%), Ascaris lumbericoides (0.5%) and Entamoeba histolytica (0.5%). The prevalence of intestinal protozoa (17.1%) was higher than the intestinal helminthes (7.6%). The study showed that 23.3% were infected with single infection and 1.4% was infected with mixed infection. Formal ether concentration technique was considered as the gold standard in detection of intestinal parasites. The sensitivity and specificity of saturated sugar flotation technique were 75% and 100% respectively

The aim of this study was to formulate and evaluate the chemical, functional, microbial and sensory attributes of complementary food from blends of sorghum, pumpkin seed and carrot. Sorghum and pumpkin seeds in the ratio of 70:30 (A), 60:40 (B), respectively were co-fermented aerobically for 24, 48, and 72 h at room temperature (30 oC). In the same ratio as samples (A) and (B), control (C) and (D) were unfermented. Carrots (20% W/W) was added to all the samples. The samples were subjected to chemical, anti-nutritional, functional, microbial and organoleptic properties using standard methods. The protein content of the fermented samples was higher than that of the unfermented samples. Tannins and phytates decreased after fermentation. Microbial counts decreased as fermentation progressed to 72 h. Water and oil absorption capacity, solubility index, bulk density and least gelation concentration were within the acceptable ranges for complementary food. Leucine and Lysine contents were high in all the samples. Histidine, isoleucine and methionine were higher in co-fermented samples than unfermented samples. The carotenoid value in co-fermented mixture was comparable to recommended daily allowance (RDA) for complementary food value for 10–20 months infants. Organoleptically, co-fermented samples scored higher in general acceptability, and unfermented samples scored higher than the co-fermented in terms of colour, aroma and taste. It could be concluded that co-fermented sorghum, pumpkin seed fortified with carrot blend diet had a better nutritional quality than the unfermented counterparts based on the overall findings.

Value-added pharmacy services (VAPS) are not connected with traditional pharmacy activities and do not include services, related to dispensing of medicines and professional consultation. A cross-sectional study that included pharmacists working in the community pharmacies in Bulgaria was carried-out. The pharmacists` attitudes toward VAPS and an implementation of remuneration were studied. The most commonly offered VAPS were blood pressure (BP) measuring with confirmation of 67.4% of the respondents and blood glucose (BG) measuring - 12.9%, but 42.9% of the pharmacists were willing to provide the different VAPS. Most of the respondents (63.5%) did not support the idea of implementation of a fee for BP measuring, but 53.7% considered it is necessary to charge a fee for BG measuring. VAPS are proven to have added value from societal, healthcare and economic point of view, but additional remuneration should be provided.

Now days, research studies have concentrated on complementary (alternate) medicine in treating a large number of infectious and non-infectious diseases, including cancer. The attention of research now shifted towards alternative natural medicine and is being preferred to the toxic effects of the synthetic drugs that are used to treat such diseases. Studies have shown that many natural plant products like amygdalin extracted from apricots and almonds to have shown anticarcinogen effect on many types of cancers including oral cancer. Herein we made an attempt to evaluate the anti-carcinogenic property of Muntingia Calabura proteins against Oral cancer cell lines. Oral cancer cell lines (KB cell line) were used in the present study. The proteins were extracted from Muntingia Calabura roots and the antiproliferative and cytotoxic activity on KB cell line was evaluated using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-YL)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay. The crude proteins of Muntingia Calabura roots showed cytotoxic and anti-proliferative activity on KB cell lines at a maximum efficacy at 100 μg/Ml is about 58% and maximum IC50 value is 52 μg/Ml. The crude proteins of Muntingia Calabura roots effective as an antiproliferative agent, who caused apoptosis in oral cancer cell line.

Background: The term undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD) is used when people have symptoms and laboratory results suggestive of systemic autoimmune disease, but lack enough characteristics of a well defined connective tissue disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma and rheumatoid arthritis. Disease in patients with undifferentiated CTD most commonly evolve into a specific defined form while others remain unchanged. Methods: This was a prospective study of patients seen in a tertiary rheumatology clinic. The study was done over three years between July 2013 to June 2016. Patients with symptoms and signs suggestive of UCTD were included in the study. Only those with significant titre of antinuclear antibody (ANA) were included. Excluded from the study were patients with definite diagnosis of specific CTD. Socio-demographic characteristics of the patients were documented. Family history of autoimmune diseases and the time of diagnosis of UCTD were also documented. Results: Five hundred and two patients were seen in the rheumatology clinic over a period of 3 years. There were 79 patients diagnosed of connective tissue diseases with a period prevalence of 15.7%. Undifferentiated connective tissue disease constituted 10.1%. There were 4 females and 2 males. Patients were aged from 18 to 64 years, with a mean age of 42±5 years. Three patients presented with lupus-like symptoms. Arthralgia was the leading symptom. ANA was uniformly positive and the patient with positive anti Ro/SSA presented with sicca symptoms. Conclusion: UCTD is not completely rare in our environment. A high index of suspicion is however needed to diagnose them.

This research sought to find out the influence of appropriate instructional resources on retention of pupils with disabilities in mainstreamed Primary Schools in Bomet County, Kenya. The challenge that this study sought to address was low retention of Pupils with Disabilities (PWDs) in mainstreamed schools. This study was embedded in Systems Theory by Von Bertalanffy [1]. It adopted survey research design. The target population was 840 teachers. Yamane formula was applied to get a sample size of 278 teachers. Multi-stage sampling procedure was applied. The findings of the study revealed that appropriate instructional resources significantly influenced the retention of PWDs by = 42.1% (p<0.05). The study also reports a positive and statistically significant relationship between appropriate instructional and retention of pupils with disabilities (r = 0.842; p<0.05). The study concludes that appropriate instructional resources positively and significantly influence the retention of pupils with disabilities. Therefore, when appropriate instructional resources are provided, retention of pupils with disabilities increase and conversely, in the absence of these resources, retention of pupils with disabilities will be challenging. The study recommended that appropriate instructional resources such as textbooks, supplementary curriculum support materials, learning devices or aiders including braille kits, printouts, pointers, embossers friendly to pupils with disabilities be supplied to improve their retention in mainstreamed primary schools.

This study focused on organizational core issues and strategic implementation in public tertiary institutions in Nigeria. A survey research design was adopted with mixed instruments of questionnaire and interview; primary data were gathered through the administration of 94 copies of the questionnaire instrument combined with in-depth interviews with 6 administrators of the studied organizations; purposive sampling was used for data collection. Descriptive analytical tools were used to analyze data profile. Inferential statistics, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were used to test research hypothesis. The results revealed that the application of strategic management by these institutions is still at its infancy. The study also revealed that organizational issues, namely leadership (Beta=.301, t=3.071, p<0.05) organizational structure (Beta=.213, t=2.766, p<0.05), organizational culture (Beta=.323, t=3.845, p<0.05) and resource allocation (Beta=.233, t=2.427, p<0.05) had significant positive influence on strategic implementation in public tertiary institutions in Nigeria. It was recommended that managements of public tertiary institutions in Nigeria should benchmark the strategic management practices of their peers in the developed economy in guiding their administration; that the capacity of administrators of these institutions be strengthened through relevant exposure and training in strategic management; that in view of the significant positive influence of organizational issues on strategic implementation, these variables should be properly managed to achieve comparative advantage.

Efficient travel in terms of distance, time and cost are the needs of every traveler. Not all travelers always make careful planning before going on a trip and it could be that the trip is done unexpectedly. In order to help travelers to get a well-planned trip, technological utilization is needed so that travelers can easily get the shortest distance on the route. Smaller distances can optimize usage costs and possibly travel time. One of them is the creation of the website-based shortest route search destination search application with a mobile friendly display. The dijkstra algorithm is one of the algorithms for determining the shortest route from one tourist attraction to another. The calculation of the dijkstra algorithm begins with determining the node (point) that will be formed into a graph.

Background: Haemotological abnormalities were common in patients with HIV infection. The common peripheral blood findings include anemia, thrombocytopenia, leucopenia or pancytopenia. These abnormalities may be attributable to the direct toxic effect of the virus on progenitor cells, ineffective hematopoiesis, opportunistic infections, immune mechanisms and drug reactions. Methods: It was a hospital based observational descriptive study conducted in department of medicine and ART centre at S P medical College Bikaner and associated group of hospital.

Rehabilitation of a patient with moderate attrition after restoring his vertical dimension is a complex procedure. Therefore, the vertical dimension should be assessed in such a case. This clinical report describes the full-mouth rehabilitation of an elderly patient who was clinically monitored for 30 months to evaluate his adaptation to a removable occlusal splint to restore his vertical dimension. Provisional restorations were then cemented to evaluate the aesthetic and functional outcome to the new occlusion for a time period. Metal ceramic prostheses were cemented. The patient’s tolerance to changes in the existing occlusion was confirmed before proceeding to the next steps. During follow-up visits, the patient’s family reported a marked improvement in his facial appearance, dental aesthetics, speech articulation, and social life.
