Extreme values of climatic variables (winds) present challenges in terms of the stability of built structures and environmental risks. In fact, estimating the recurrence of extreme wind speeds and basic natural speeds provides essential information for the design of certain civil engineering structures, such as buildings, bridges and others, with a view to ensuring their self-stability and, ultimately, the protection of the population and their environment.

Environmental and biodiversity risks were greatly increased by toxic heavy metal pollution, The various water samples environmental with a history of heavy metal toxicity resulting from human activities or natural origin released in the environment. Ensure representative sampling from various depths and locations within the fields. Their widespread distribution in the environment as a result of their numerous industrial, household, agricultural, medical, and technical applications has sparked worries about their possible consequences on the environment and public health.

Ischemic heart disease is the most prevalent cause of myocardial infarction, a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Hyperlipidemia is a condition of abnormalincrease inserum LDL, cholesterol and triglycerides levels. The main aim of the current study is to assess the cardioprotective, anti-hyperlipidemic, and anti-oxidant properties of Vernoniaelaeagnifolia's methanolic extract.

Orthognathic surgery which involves the surgical repositioning of maxilla & mandible is typically performed to correct skeletal discrepancies &improve facial esthetics, function & airway patency. This review aims to provide an overview of maxillary procedures commonly performed in orthognathic surgery, highlighting the surgical techniques & considerstiond involved in repositioning of maxill to achievr optimal function & esthetic outcomes.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness between Betadine (Group I) and Normal saline dressing (Group II) for catheter care among patients with indwelling catheter. Hypothesis: There is a significant difference between the pre test level of urinary tract infection among patients with indwelling catheter in Group I,& Group II. There is no statistically significant association between the urinary tract infection among Group I, Group II patients with indwelling catheter with their selected socio demographic and clinical profile. Design: Quasi experimental design.

La présence d’une fraction dangereuse dans les déchets biomédicaux mérite toujours une attention particulière sur les sources potentielles de production. L’objectif de la présente étude était de caractériser les sources de production de déchets biomédicaux (DBM) basée surles fractions dangereuses contenues. L’étude a été conduite dans la ville de Bobo-Dioulasso au Burkina Faso autour d’un échantillon detrente-un (31) établissements sanitaires publics et privés. Le principe du « système à trois bacs » catégorisant les déchets généraux considérés a été utilisé.

Ongoing discovery and development of effective strategies to treat emerging and often drug resistant strains of viral and microbial pathogens presents one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. Despite nearly a century of progress in developments in antimicrobial and antiviral therapies, infectious diseases still account for a substantial proportion of deaths worldwide, including over 100 million globally in the recent pandemic to date.

Aim: The study was carried out to determine the ecology, diversity and biological functions in soil ecosystems. Study Design: The study was done to explore the ecological importance and response to environmental changes. Place and Duration of Study: The samples were collected from Anambra garden soil between July to December 2018. Methodology: The soil invertebrates were extracted using three different methods: the Berlese funnel technique, direct observation, and sedimentation method. Microsoft Excel 2003 package was used to analyse the prevalence of soil invertebrates.

In Antioxidants are compounds possessing the capability to neutralize or stabilize free radicals. In general, plants from the Fabaceae family have antioxidant activity. The research aimed to determine the antioxidant activity of the Fabaceae family plant based on maceration extraction using the DPPH method as seen from IC50. The method used was the narrative review method, where the selected articles were based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and obtained from Google Scholar, PubMed and ScienceDirect databases published between 2011-2021.

Ivermectin (IVM), a lipid-based anthelmintic agent, effectively manages both endoparasites and ectoparasites. There is a clear association between instances of Ivermectin (IVM) overdoses, concerns over its effectiveness, and the emergence of resistance. The co-administration of Ivermectin (IVM) and Ascorbic Acid (AA) in the treatment groups exhibits a significant improvement at elevated dosages. The main objective of this study was to assess the possible interaction or viability of co-administering ascorbic acid and ivermectin at a uniform dosage.
