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.

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.

Background: Salpingitis is the inflammation of the fallopian tubes with consequences such as tubal occlusion, infertility, tubal ectopic pregnancies and chronic pelvic pain. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of salpingitis induced ectopic pregnancies in females who have undergone salpingectomy and their specimen sent for anatomical pathology analysis. Methods: Ninety four specimens were collected from 01st February to 31stDecember 2006.

The field trial was initiated at R&D farm, Vasantdada Sugar Institute, Pune during 2020 to assess the effect of different harvesting period on ratoon productivity of different sugarcane varieties. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design, comprising three harvesting periods in main plot (10 months, 12 months and 14 months) and ten sugarcane varieties in sub plots (early maturing MS10001, CoM 9057, Co 09004, CoC 671, VSI434 and midlate maturing VSI 08005, CoVSI18121, VSI12003, CoM 0265, Co 86032).

Une grossesse précoce et non désirée, en particulier à un très jeune âge, reflète un échec à fournir un environnement sûr aidant les jeunes filles à atteindre l'âge adulte. Nul n’ignore que la population mondiale augmente en progression géométrique. Cette situation préoccupe au plus haut point le gouvernement, les institutions (étatiques, confessionnelles, privées) et les différents peuples afin de régulariser les naissances. Chaque entité aborde ses problèmes de différente manière: sociale, politique, économique et démographique.

Aim & background: Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy has completely altered the therapeutic concerns of Endocrinologists and gynecologists. The case discussed below is a prime example of their success. Case description: A 46-year-old woman suffering from perimenopausal conditions presents in the clinic.

The increasing complexity and intensification of human life in the epoch of digitalization and escalation of social and political conflicts on both the international and national levels is constantly enhancing the existence of the individual. This situation results in an acute socio-psychological and pedagogical problem of providing effective and qualified aid to people by releasing their existential tension.

Introduction: The role of Interleukin-5(IL-5) in immunity and its involvement in cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a subject of growing research. IL-5 plays a role in the differentiation and maturation of eosinophils and has atheroprotective effects. Objective: The levels of serum Interleukin-5, and CRP in beer drinkers in Nnewi, Anambra State., were assessed. Materials and methods: Questionnaires were used to understand the amount of daily and weekly beer bottles consumed by subjects, and obtain their socio-demographic information.

The objective of this study was to compare the reproductive parameters of N'Dalores and N'Dama in order to measure the degree of blood supply from the N'Dalore breed to the N'Dama animals reared at the Kila ranch. 18 male and 32 female N'Dalores and 16 male and 28 female N'Dama were monitored from puberty to breeding. The data collected was analysed and processed using R software version 2. The comparison of the modalities of the variables studied by analysis of variance and the test of comparison of means were done by the Tukey test.
