This paper discussed on small and medium scale industries pathway to Nigeria economic development. It also point out the problems facing the entrepreneurship development of Nigeria economy. It also examines the importance of entrepreneurship in Nigeria. The methodology adopted was systematic review method. It also found that entrepreneurship can enhance economic development in Nigeria primarily by generating employment opportunity. The study also revealed that initiatives by government failed because of over bearing bureaucracies, corruption, inadequate and inefficient infrastructure facilities, financial backup and maladministration. The paper also recommended that government and banks should recognize the important entrepreneurship to her economic development growth by providing the enabling environment for small and medium scale industry to develop. Specifically, government should provide infrastructural facilities (electricity, road network, and communication). It is also recommended that government should reactivate all the institutions established to promote small and medium scale industries in Nigeria.

The present study aimed at the In Vitro Evaluation of Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitory Activity of Apium graveolens dulce and Bryophyllum pinnatum kurz. The activity was performed usingethanolic extract of leaves and stalk of Apium graveolens dulce and fresh juice of leaves of Bryophyllum pinnatum kurz at various concentrations (100µg, 200µg, 300µg, 400µg, 500µg, 600µg, 700 µg, 800µg). In this study Allopurinol was used as a standard drug. The results were noted in terms of highest percentage inhibition of Xanthine oxidase. The combination of ethanolic extract of leaves and stalk of Apium graveolens dulce and fresh juiceof leaves of Bryophyllum pinnatum kurz shows significant effect at highest concentration such as 800µg in combination group

The study empirically investigate the nexus between agricultural financing and economic growth in Nigeria from 1983 to 2015. Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test and the Phillip-Perron tests were used to establish which variable is stationary at different levels. Almost all the variables (Real Gross Domestic Product (RGDP) Agricultural credit guarantee scheme fund (ACGSF) Commercial Bank Loan and Advance on Agriculture (CBLAA) are stationary at first different form, that is they are integrated of order I (1) except interest rate (INTR) which is stationary at level, that is, it is integrated of order I (0), hence Bounds co-integration test was adopted since it allows combination of fractionally integrated variables i.e. combines variables of different orders of integration. The results reveal existence of long-run relationship between proxy of economic growth and the proxies of agricultural financing. Meanwhile, Auto Redistributed Lag (ARDL) results show both short and long run effect of agricultural financing schemes on the growth of Nigerian economy. In addition, various diagnostic tests (such as Jarque-Bera (JB) test, Breusch-Pagan Serial Correlation (LM) test, Ramsey test, and ARCH test) were conducted to fulfill some of both Ordinary Least Square and normality assumptions. Notably, the loan disbursement mechanism adopted by agricultural credit institutions have fail to drive the Nigerian economy towards real growth despite the long run nexus among the key variables, coupled with corruption, and policy summersaults in the sector. Therefore, there is need for proper channelization of loans across board with sustainable fiscal measures that can translate to actual growth.

Cytological examination of cavity effusions is extremely important as it highlight the cause, presence of metastatic cells, typing of unknown cases, prognosis and staging of cancer. To study and evaluate trends in cytological evaluation of cavity effusions for various pathological conditions in a tertiary health care centre. 2) To correlate their frequency in relation to diagnosis. Our Study was cross-sectional study performed in Department of Pathology, Sri Aurobindo Medical College and Post Graduate Institute from 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2014. Serous cavity effusions included in the study were pleural and peritoneal in origin. All other fluids (pericardial and synovial fluid) were excluded from the study. The history and relevant parameters were noted and correlated clinically. Cytospin and Conventional smear methods were performed on pleural and peritoneal fluids. Both air dried and wet fixed smears in methyl alcohol were used and stained with Papanicolaou (PAP) and May-Grunwald-Giemsa (MGG) stain. Out of 885 cases, 400 (45.19%) were pleural fluid, 485(54.8%) were peritoneal fluid .806 (91%) were of benign effusion and 79 (8.92%) were of malignant effusion. Total transudate cases in our study were 611 (69%) and exudates were 274 (30.9%). Male to female ratio was 1.5:1 with youngest patient 20 years old and eldest was 85years old. In younger age group benign effusions are common and malignant in older age group. Morphology and staining with May-Grunwald-Giemsa (MGG) and Papanicolaou (PAP) helped in better interpretation. Preliminary fluid analysis for cytology in resource limited settings, still remains the most convenient and cost effective method in arriving at the diagnosis, thereby reducing the need for invasive investigations and their related complications. Presence and absence of malignant cells at times can be the only clue to the presence of malignancy thereby affecting the prognosis and treatment outcome of the patient

Xanthogranulomatous gastritis is an extremely rare condition and only few cases have been reported in literature. It is an inflammatory tumor like lesion usually misdiagnosed preoperatively as an advanced gastric cancer. We report one such rare case in a 68 year old female who came with complaint of epigastric pain and vomiting for 15 days. Endoscopy revealed solitary elevated nodule in the gastric lesser curvature. Clinical diagnosis was suspicious of gastric carcinoma. Histopathologically foamy histiocytes with dense chronic inflammatory infiltrate were seen in gastric wall suggestive of xanthogranulomatous gastritis

As a remarkable Victorian novelist, Charlotte Bronte wrote four impressive novels including Jane Eyre and The Professor. Jane Eyre proves to be a typical Victorian book, fascinating and enduring, whereas The Professor, the first complete novel that Charlotte Bronte wrote has always been considered as minor and illconceived. Despite the totally different judgments of the two novels, there exists many similarities between Jane Eyre and The Professor. This paper aims at helping readers have a better understanding of The Professor by comparing with Jane Eyre from two aspects: genre and theme, and try to find out the similarities of Jane Eyre and The Professor, thus we can have a further understanding of Charlotte Bronte.

The increasing number of opioid users among chronic pain patients, and opioid abusers among the general population, makes perioperative pain management challenging for health care professionals. Anesthesiologists, surgeons, and nurses should be familiar with some pharmacological phenomena which are typical of opioid users and abusers, such as tolerance, physical dependence, hyperalgesia, and addiction. Further clonidine also reduces intraoperative requirement of opioid analgesics as compared to normal saline group. Total amount of rescue analgesia needed in 24 hour was also significantly less in clonidine group as compared to placebo group. Intraoperatively more fentanyl required in placebo group as compared to clonidine group (p<0.05).

They include Cell surface antigens; Cytoplasmic proteins, Enzymes, Hormones and most of them are proteins. They can be products of cancer cells themselves or of the body in response to cancer or other conditions. A marker represents a qualitative or quantitative alteration or deviation from normal of a molecule, substance, or process that can be detected by some type of assay. An elevated level of a tumor marker can indicate cancer; however there can also be other causes of the elevation. Thus, Tumour markers cannot be construed as primary modalities for the diagnosis of cancer. These tumor markers help in screening, diagnosing the diseased condition, staging of the disease, guiding and monitoring the treatment, to determine the prognosis and to prevent recurrence.

This study empirically examines the impact of economic growth and access to safe drinking water on life expectancy in Nigeria using Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) model as tool of analysis for the period 1980 - 2014. The result of this study indicates that economic growth and access to safe drinking water exert positive and statistically significant impact on life expectancy at birth. Consequently, upon the findings of this study, a number of recommendations are given which include: the need for the governments to intensify its existing policies in order to maintain inclusive economic growth that would increase employment generation and reduce poverty for better life expectancy. Moreover, there is also need for governments, Nongovernmental organizations, international development partners and philanthropists to intervene in improving access to safe and portable drinking water in both rural and urban areas through construction of boreholes, pipe water, public taps or standpipes, tube wells, protected dug wells, protected springs, and rainwater collection reservoirs.
