Oral Selenium Supplementation Ameliorated Khat-Induced Hematotoxicity, Hepatotoxicity and Nephrotoxicity in a Mouse Model
Dismas Mogere Ombati, Kennedy Chepukosi Wekesa, James Nyabuga Nyariki*
Khat abuse in Kenya by young people is rapidly rising despite the much-publicized toxicological effects of khat. Furthermore, little research has focused on mediation strategies against khat-induced toxicities. Chemicals present in khat have been associated with multiple forms of toxicities. This study investigated the impact of khat on physiological and biochemical parameters and the putative rol
Model for Estimating the Life Expectancy of West African Countries
David O. Ogwumu
In this research, the development of a model for estimating life expectancy of the West African countries and the analysis of factors influencing life expectancy of countries was addressed. Thereafter, the proposed model was optimised to confirm whether or not there could be a maximum or minimum life expectancy value. But the result of the model optimisation established that there is neither a max
In-silico studies of the Inhibitory Activities of Agerantum conyzoide against Schistosoma mansoni
Omolara Olubunmi Adeboye*, Nathaniel Ejikeme Onyenwe, Rachael Oluwatoyosi Farayola, Chioma Nnenna Nwofor, Philip Iyiola Farayola
Characterization of the phytochemicals and Molecular docking of the inhibitory activities of Agerantum conyzoide against Schistosoma mansomi was investigated. Geometry optimization of the phytochemicals and the synthetic drugs was carried out, Molecular mechanics force field (MMFF) was carried out to obtain the most stable structure, bond length and infra-red spectroscopic characterization using S
Hydrogeophysical Survey and Vulnerability Assessment of some Communities in Okigwe Local Government Area, South-east Nigeria
Ahamefule Y.C., Agbodike Ifeanyi I.C., Ogbonna T.L.
Detailed hydrogeophysical and vulnerability studies of the aquifer systems in Okigwe area with focus on communities such as Aku, Agbobu, Ihube and Umulolo was carried out using the vertical electrical sounding (VES) method and the DRASTIC model. A total of twelve (12) vertical electrical sounding (VES) were acquired using the digital Omega Terrameter 0198. The Schlumberger configuration with a max
