This study had the objective of evaluating the effect of water deficit on the
Physiological Parameters and Water Use Efficiency on soybean plants under different
planting densities. It was conducted during winter and summer seasons of 2014-2015.
The different plant densities designated as D1, D2 and D3 (5, 10 and 15 cm between
plants) under three watering regimes (W1,W2 and W3) irrigation every 7,14 and 21
days. The experimental design was a complete randomized blocks design in split trail
with three replications. All physiological parameters (LAD, RGR,CGR, NAR) and
relative water content of soybean plants tended to decrease with prolonged watering
interval (W3) or in high planting density (D1).Water use efficiency for dry mater
(WUEdm) was higher in moderate watering interval (W2) as compared to frequent
and pronged watering regimes (W1 ,W3). An interaction treatment (W1D3) increased
RGR,CGR, NAR while the highest WUEdm was recorded in (W2D3).the result
revealed that, the improvement in water availability with low planting density
stimulated plant growth and caused increase in dry matter accumulation and longer
leaf area might explain the higher CGR, NAR. In conclusion, sowing soybean in
wider spacing under frequent irrigation can increase most of the physiological
characters measured in this investigation.

The study is on the rate of Unemployment in Nigeria as a result of the
failure of Public Enterprises. The objective of the study therefore is to identify the
impact Public Enterprises failure had on Unemployment rate in Nigeria. This was
achieved through the analysis of secondary sources of data and other documentary
evidences on the issues. The study discovered that the failure of Public Enterprises
in Nigeria had contributed immensely to the Unemployment rate. Conclusively, the
Privatization of Public Enterprises in Nigeria had led to massive loss of jobs due to
lack of stable trade unions that will negotiate workers disengagement or exit in
accordance with the law. The study therefore recommended that in order to provide
employment to the unemployed in Nigeria, Public Enterprises should be revamped
and managed in the spirits of State Capitalism or purely on full commercialization
basis.

The main objective of this study is to contribute to the knowledge of plants
with antifungal and antibacterial potentials. Ethnobotanical surveys on the uses of
plants cited in the traditional pharmacopoeia against vaginal infections are conducted
in the markets and districts of four Cameroonian cities. The botanical data collected
was recorded in the Excel 2010 version spreadsheet and processed statistically. A
dendrogram showing the similarity of use of anti vaginitis plants by city and by
respondents was established using the Jaccard similarity coefficient using the XlStat
software. A total of 73 respondents were interviewed. The analysis of the dendrogram
of similarity between the uses of plants in the four cities reveals a comparison
between the knowledge of the respondents of the cities of the Center region and the
dissimilarity between those of the Littoral. Thirty-four (34) plant species belonging to
twenty-eight (28) plant families have been identified and the first is Asteraceae. The
Guineo-Congolese phytogeographic type (12 citations) predominates. Fourteen (14)
diseases and/or symptoms related to the female plant were obtained; Vaginal
infections (33 citations) the first. Traditional medicines prepared are mostly preserved
at room temperature (41%). Sexual intercourse comes first (37%), as a prohibition
that can damage the treatment. Given the upsurge in vaginal infections in Africa, it is
essential to develop a strategy to find effective means of control and especially at a
lower cost to propose an alternative to conventional therapy.

Myasthenia gravis is a rare disorder of autoimmune origin, caused by dysfunction of neuromuscular transmission. Clinically it manifested by a muscular weakness accentuated to the effort. We report the results of a retrospective study of 18 cases of myasthenia gravis in the department of neurology of the military hospital Moulay Ismail of Meknes during a period of 10 years. The sex ratio for our patients was 3.5. 67% of them were between 20 and 40 years old. The average deadline to diagnosis was two years. A personal history of Graves’ disease was present in 11% of our patients and type 1 diabete in siblings in 11% of cases. The inaugural symptoms were progressive in 50 % of the cases, affecting mainly the eye (94 %), the pharyngo-laryngeal region (67 %) the jaw (44 %), the roots of the members (33 %), the infringement of the respiratory muscles (22 % of the cases) and the fall of the head (6 %). The generalized form of the disease predominated at the time of diagnosis (67%), and the search for anti-acetylcholine receptor (anti-RAch) antibodies was positive in 89% of the cases. Thoracic imaging revealed thymoma in 33% of cases and thymic hyperplasia in 17% of cases. All patients received an acetyl cholinesterase inibitor. 33% of the patients in our series required a background treatment, consisting of corticosteroids alone (22%) or corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents (11%). Thymectomy was performed in 56% of our patients

This work aimed to study the effect of laser irradiation on bee honey
(Seder) physical and chemical properties. Four honey samples were used in this study
with 250 g of each; three of them were irradiated by He-Ne laser with output powers
1 mW, 1.5 mW and 2 mW for 5 minutes for each sample. Analysis included
measuring of some honey physical and chemical properties for the irradiated and no
irradiated samples particularly electrical conductivity, refractive index, density,
viscosity, moisture, Ashes, wax, monocular sugars, total sugars, glucose, fructose,
maltose, sucrose and acidity, it also included estimation of some elements like Na,
Ca, K, Fe, Mg. The results show that irradiation by He-Ne lead to upward effect for
some physical and chemical properties like electrical conductivity, monocular sugars
and density, and it lead to downward effect for ashes, wax, sucrose and density, while
it lead to no significant differences (P>0.05) on refractive index, viscosity.

Chitala chitala (Hamilton, 1822) is an indigenous fish of freshwater lotic
ecosystem belonging to the family Notopteridae of the Order Osteoglossiformes. This
fish species has relatively larger market demand presumably because of having rich
lipo-proteinaceous tissue at the ventral side of the body. Wild variety of Chitala
chitala (Hamilton, 1822) was identified at the lower reach of Muhuri river of Tripura,
India. As per IUCN criteria this fauna may be considered near threatened fish species
in North-east India in general and Tripura in particular. In various corners of India
this species was considered as preferred fish species. Morphometric character of the
fish specimen showed hump-like structure just behind the head area, bar, transverse,
silver at dorsal body area. Greatly compressed body, laterally, oblong and tapering
towards caudal area. Dorsal fin, significantly smaller. Anal fin, very long; originated
with the fusion of pelvic fin and also ended by fusion with caudal fin. Scales, tiny,
sharp at ventral area of head. A specific fin formula was noticed in Chitala chitala
(Hamilton, 1822).

Cardiac problems are encountered in the clinic more nowadays. Many of the cardiac problems and procedures have impact on the Sinu-atrial nodal artery which is the pace-maker of the heart. Variations of Sinu-atrial nodal artery and its knowledge is must in understanding cardiac problems and conducting clinical practices. Thirty hearts from the cadavers were taken for the study. The hearts were dissected, Sino-atrial nodal artery were exposed and analyzed. Sinu-Atrial nodal artery did not arise from arteries other than the right coronary artery. The level of origin differed in different specimens. In 10% of the specimens, it originated from the length interval of 6-10 mm, in 40% from the length interval of 11-15 mm, in 23.33% from the length interval of 16-20 mm, in 13.33% from the length interval of 21-25 mm and in 10% from the length interval of 26-30 mm from the origin of right coronay artery. In one of the specimen it was found to originate from the right coronary artery at a length of 55mm from its origin which was near the inferior margin of the heart. The course was retrocaval in all of the specimens. No extra origin of the artery was found

Mediastinal teratoma is a germinal tumor that results from embryologic disorders or germ primitive cells in the mediastinum. It’s a retrospective study concerning 5 patients addressed to our center for mediastinal tumor. Main symptoms were chest pain, dyspnea and pleural effusion syndrome. Computer tomography and chest x-rays were done for 4 patients. We found a bulky mass in left pleura, an anterior and right mediastinal Cyst, an anterior and left upper mediastinal Cyst, a bulky mass anterior in the mediastinum. In one patient, echocardiography showed a pericardial effusion with compression of cardiac chambers. Surgery was cystectomy through a posterolateral thoracotomy in many cases or a median sternotomy in one case. There was any major complication. Mediastinal teratoma have to be suspected in a tumor at the chest x-rays of a young adult. Its treatment remains complete resection of the tumor by surgery to avoid a recurrence tumor

Colon cancer is currently the third most common cancer in both men and
women after lung and breast cancer. Incidence and mortality rates have been
declining since the 1980's, partially due to improvements in screening and
prevention. Colon cancer is the cancer that formed in the tissues of the colon (the
longest part of large intestine). Most colon cancers are adenocarcinomas. Many
studies have been done to elucidate the ability of iron to rule out colon cancer. Some
of these studies encouraged using iron status as early predictors of gastrointestinal
tumors. The aim of this study was to estimate level of serum iron and ferritin among
colonic cancer patients according to gender, age, Hb and weigh levels. This study
included 100 patients diagnosed as a colonic cancer. The majority of patients were
male, 67 representing 67 % of respondents and only 33 were female representing
33%. Age distribution among patients demonstrates a majority of the age interval
(40-60) years representing 46 %. The association between serum iron and ferritin
was found to be significant with the level of Hb. In the distribution of study
population according to weight, the majority was shown in weight between (51-70)
kg representing 57 % of total respondents. Regarding correlation between serum
iron, ferritin and weigh, no significant was found to be observed.

Eyebrow reconstruction is very challenging especially in cases of large defects exceeding half of the eyebrow length. In such cases, hair grafting is the first choice in women, whereas hair-bearing flaps are used in male patients desiring a wider and fuller eyebrow. We report a case of a female in whom a superficial temporal artery island flap allowed one-stage eyebrow repair with a very good aesthetic outcome

Different forms of allogenous and autogenous bone grafts have been
studied for their potential use as bone substitutes. Although autogenous bone grafts is
a treatment alternative for bone regeneration and repair they have several
disadvantages like limitation of graft volume available, donor site morbidity and is
technique sensitive. Thus, use of other materials like processed bovine dentine and
Bone Xenograft (Bio-Oss) presents an alternative and a relatively simple technique
for bone regeneration and repair. The main aim of this study was to determine the
role of Processed Bovine Dentine and Bone Xenograft (Bio-Oss) in bone
regeneration and repair and to compare these two groups histlogically. A total of ten
healthy adult Albino male rats, aged 4 weeks weighing between 150 – 200gms were
used in the study. Three round surgical defects of approximately 1mm in diameter
were drilled in both the right and left femur. Processed bovine dentine was placed in
the right femur and Bio-Oss was placed in the left femur. Group I: - Processed
Bovine Dentine.Group II: - Bone Xenograft (Bio-Oss). Bio-Oss graft displayed
osteoconductive properties and the best bone formation with complete resorption and
organization of the grafted materials. Based on histological findings, though
Processed Bovine dentine displayed osteoconductive properties its effect on bone
formation was slower compared to that of Bio-Oss. The results of the present study
supports that the use of Processed Bovine Dentine seems to be an alternative bone
substitute, although less effective than Bone Xenograft (Bio-Oss).
