Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection is one of the important causes of hepatitis
in developing countries. It is transmitted through feco-oral route. They pose major
health problems. To determine the prevalence of HAV in patients presenting with acute
viral hepatitis. Serum samples of the patients presenting with fever, nausea, vomiting,
and jaundice were collected and analyzed by using commercially available
RecombiLISA ELISA kit for the detection of immunoglobulin M (IgM) against HAV.
A 20 months retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Microbiology,
Shri M. P. Shah Govt. Medical College, Jamnagar, Gujarat (India). Of the 532 serum
samples subjected to RecombiLISA ELISA for detection of anti-HAV IgM in patients,
157 (29.51%) were found to be positive. The prevalence was found to be more in male
patients than in female patients, that is, 81(51.59%) and 76(48.41%), respectively, and
was predominantly seen in the 6–15 years of the school-going age group. Peak cases
were found in the monsoon season. Regular monitoring of clinical, serological and
molecular characteristics would help in understanding the epidemiology of HAV and in
planning the intervention studies.

Mature cystic teratomas comprise of 10-20% of ovarian neoplasms.
Malignant transformation in a dermoid cyst occurs in 0.17-2% of cases. Primary ovarian
melanoma arising in a dermoid cyst is an extremely rare entity. It must be differentiated
from a metastatic melanoma which is more common. A fifty nine year old female
presented with lower abdominal pain and heaviness. A right adnexal mass was noted on
Computed tomography (CT) scan. Left ovary and uterus were normal. She underwent a
right salpingo-oopherectomy. Histopathological examination along with
immunohistochemical analysis and clinical correlation serves the diagnostic purpose
and surgery with adequate margin clearance plays an important role in management.
We report a rare case of primary malignant melanoma arising in a mature cystic
teratoma.

This study was aimed at comparing the height predicted from ulna lengths in the adults (aged between 20 to 50 years old) from the two different ethnic groups. Analysis of stature of 600 healthy males and 600 females from Ikwerre and Kalabari ethnic groups, both in Rivers State, Nigeria, Height was measured using a stadiometer, while ulna length was taken with a sliding vernier calliper. The measurements were recorded in centimetres to the nearest 0.1 cm. A multiplication factor i.e ratio of the stature to the respective physical measurements was then calculated for each measurement. The multiplication factors were multiplied with the ulna length to give the estimated value which correlated with the measured stature. The mean male Ikwerre stature was 173.1 while the female was 160.77. The mean stature for Kalabari male was 166.83, while the female was 158.83. Correlation coefficient in the study for Ikwerre males is 0.96 and females 0.997 I and that of the Kalabari males is 0.996 and females 0.996. Regression coefficient for Ikwerre males is 7.89 and females 6.48 and that of Kalabari males is 6.31 and female 6.15. The observed data was subjected to „z‟ test for correlation coefficient. The value for „z‟ test was found to be statistically not significant. It was concluded that ulna length can be used as a surrogate in measuring height. Also, there was no significant difference in the stature of the two different tribes.

In the present world, due to tremendous development in technology, a huge
amount of information is available everywhere. Therefore, it is difficult for the users to
understand the main content of the entire document as it takes a lot of time. In this work
we use extractive text summarization which uses a method to give the version of
summary for one or more file or document. Here we give an approach that maps
sentences to nodes of a hierarchical ontology. Ontology explains what exists in a
particular domain. For the ontology creation, vocabularies are collected. It is used as
background knowledge and helps to find the related meaning of the terms which occur in
the source documents. Text mining is the technique from which high quality information
is derived from text. Clustering is a significant task. The clustering method groups similar
or related terms into a single group. In the first stage, data collection takes place. The preprocessing stage includes stemming and stop words removal.TF-IDF process occurs after
which clustering takes place. In the ontology creation, first the determination of the main
sub topics of the article of interest is done. We classify sentences to nodes which have a
predefined hierarchical ontology. Each ontology node has bag-of-words from a web
search. We represent sentences by sub trees that permit to apply measures of similarity
and find relations between sentences. The ontology used in this work is not domainspecific; it does not require labelled data. this work can be extended to topics focused on
summarization framework to news articles or blogs and to also to various machine
learning approaches

In the present study, the isolated compound Punicaflavone (PF) from the methanolic flower extract of Punica granatum (Linn.) was subjected to toxicity assessment in Wistar albino rats. Sub-acute toxicity studies were carried out by oral administration of the PF from Punica granatum (Linn.) for a period of 28 days at different dose levels of 50, 100 and 200mg/kg body weight. No major changes in body and organ weight, behavioural, haematology and histology were observed at the end of 28 days of daily oral administration. Biochemical parameters such as the levels of Glucose, Protein, Urea and Creatinine in serum were found to be well within the normal limits. Histopathological examination of the major vital organs (heart, liver and kidney) revealed no significant pathological alterations in the treated group of rats. The sub-acute toxicity studies of the PF showed no mortality and no symptoms of toxicity or behavioral changes at the maximum dose (1000mg/kg). The results indicate that the PF is safe up to a dose of 1000 mg/kg.

nutritional values of some selected edible mushrooms collected in Ekiti State, Nigeria
such as Pleurotus sajor-caju, Termitomyces robustus, Lentinus squarosullus,
Termitomyces microcarpous, Termitomyces clypeatus, Lentinus tuber-regium and
Polyporus sp. Proximate composition, mineral composition as well as vitamins A and
C contents of the mushrooms were determined using standard methods. Results
revealed significant differences in the nutritional composition of the mushrooms
though some had similar compositions. The overall nutritional composition of the
mushrooms was quite good suggesting that they have potentials to address the nutrient
deficiency prevalent in the state, particularly among the low income earners. The
values (%) ranged from 6.61-9.75 for moisture content, 1.07-3.89 for fat, 1.61-10.60
for total ash content, 1.61-10.81 for crude fibre, 8.67-37.31 for protein and 49.90-
75.35 for carbohydrates. The mineral composition (mg/100g) ranged between 24.96-
126.66 (Na), 478.30-789.64 (K), 33.06-153.43 (Mg), 38.17-440.20 (Ca), 1.23- 14.03

This study focused on the analysis of birth weight (BW), weaning weight
(WW), weaning age (WA) and average daily gain (ADG) between birth and weaning
of 950 Borgou cattle using data over five years from the Okpara Breeding Farm. The
BW, WW, and ADG of animals including 513 males calves and 437 females calves
were determined based on the variation factors. A general linear model (GLM) was
used to determine the effects of the factors of variation: sex, season of birth, calving
number, year of birth, and birth park. The weaning age of animals was also considered
as a factor in order to determine its influence on WW and ADG. The results showed
that the average weaning age of Borgou cattle was 392.49 ± 71.51 days. The weaning
age had an effect on weaning weight and ADG of the animals. The BW and WW
ranged from 16.11 ± 0.20 kg to 22.28 ± 0.20 kg and from 107.80 ± 2.50 kg to 125.46 ±
1.17 kg, respectively. As for the ADG, it varied between 212.06 ± 7.56 kg and 330.78
± 6.47 kg. The sex, birth season, calving number, and park influenced birth weight, the
weaning weight, and the average daily gain. The year influenced the weaning weight
and the ADG (p<0.001) but had no effect on birth weight (p>0.001). Male calves
showed higher weaning weights and daily weight gains than female calves (p<0.05).
Animals born during the transition period between the rainy season and the dry season
were heavier (p<0.05). Animals from 6th calving number had the best birth weights,
the best weaning weights and the best ADGs (p<0.05).
