Legumes provide good source of protein, complex carbohydrate, dietary fibre, essential vitamins and minerals and are used as food and feed purposes. In most of the developing countries, animal protein is expensive and as an alternative, legumes are consumed majorly as a source of protein. They further complement proteins from other plant sources, such as, cereal grains where they contribute essential amino acids to the diets in different parts of the world. Aside the nutritional content, they also possess nonnutrients components otherwise known as the bioactive compounds, which include inhibitors of proteases and amylases, lectins, saponins, phytic acid and phenolic compounds. Out of all these bioactive compounds, phenolic compounds are of great importance because, apart from contributing to the seed colour and sensory characteristics of the seed, they also provide several biological properties with proposed health-related benefits. Phenolic compounds are natural bioactive compounds found in legumes used for combating free radicals and reducing the oxidative damage responsible by chronic diseases.

Blunt abdominal trauma presents a challenge for diagnosis because it may be associated with multiple organ injuries thus physical examination alone may result in an improper diagnosis. Ultrasonography is one of the important tools in the examination of such patients. The aim of the present study was to determine the accuracy of Focused Assessment Sonography for Trauma [FAST technique] in blunt abdominal trauma patients. Methods: The study involved 120 Abdominal trauma patients admitted to Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences and Hospital. Every patient was examined by abdominal sonography in those patients who required urgent management because of serious injuries were excluded from the study. All the patients based on clinical assessments were suspected of abdominal trauma. The sonographies were done using the FAST technique “Focused Assessment Sonography for Trauma" in which six areas of the abdomen were examined. Results: Out of the 120 patients 94 were diagnosed as positive after abdominal sonography out of which 73 were confirmed as positive by CT, DPL, and explorative laparotomy and remaining 21 were found to be negative. Similarly out of 24 diagnosed as negative by sonography 2 were found to be positive by CT, DPL, and explorative laparotomy. The mean sensitivity in all patients was found to be 97.33% with 95% Confidence Interval ranging from 90.70% - 99.68%, the specificity was 53.33% 95% CI 37.87% - 68.34%, the positive predictive value PPV was 77.66% range 71.73% - 82.64% the negative predictive value NPV was 92.31% range 74.85% - 97.98%, the overall accuracy was 80.33% and range was 72.64% - 87.44%. Conclusion: within the limitations of the present study it can be concluded that abdominal ultrasonography with FAST technique is fairly reliable and accurate method of evaluation in blunt abdominal trauma. Abdominal ultrasonography is a valuable tool after clinical examination of the patients with blunt abdominal trauma. It has a relatively high negative predictive value that prevents the patients from undergoing unnecessary tests after blunt abdominal injuries.

The ferment of cassava is prepared according to various methods by the producers of Attiéké, according to the ethnic group. During the investigation, five main methods of preparation of the cassava ferment, used for the production of Attiéké, were identified. The method of preparation of the ferment from the raw cassava, begin with the cutting roughly or small cylindrical pieces of the not peeled cassava tubers, before the fermentation by all of the producers of Attiéké of the ethnic group Abouré (9.4 %). The fermentation time is of 3 days for the whole boiled and braised peeled cassava, of 2 days for the cassava cut in pieces boiled and of 4 days for the braised not peeled and raw cassava. The packing material is constitutes in the majority of the cases (51.1 %) of bag of polypropylene (collectively called bag of rice or salt). The fishing net and the bag of jute are particularly also used for the ethnic groups Adjoukrou and Abouré. However, the plastic bag is used to create the waterproofness of the packing material and the envelope of the bark of the palm tree to favor the colonization of the cassava by germs fermentatives for the ethnic group Attié. Only the ferment of cut boiled cassava in certain cases, does not undergo cleaning before its use in the process of preparation of Attiéké.

Majority of the drugs used for the treatment of various diseases are administered by oral route using conventional delivery. The major drawback of the oral administration is the poor bioavailability due to the poor water solubility, chemical stability and pre-systemic metabolism. Numerous researches are going on for the improvement of oral bioavailability of drugs using novel drug delivery systems as an alternative to conventional delivery systems. Majority of the novel delivery system includes; solid dispersion, sustained, controlled buccal, gastro retentive, nano carrier delivery systems such as lipid nanoparticles, and self-emulsifying systems. The oral bioavailability improvement by these delivery systems might be due to the increased particle size, improved dissolution and/or permeation and subsequently bioavailability of the drugs. In this review, we attempt to discuss the various novel delivery systems developed for the enhancement of oral bioavailability of poorly water soluble therapeutics.
