Public Health Policy and Health Human Resource Preferences in North Central Nigeria: A Costly Paradox?
Hassan Achimugu
Nigeria has some of the most disturbing health indicators in sub Saharan Africa and indeed the world. The WHO estimates that about 157 out of 1000 Nigerian children annually die before their fifth birthdays, from preventable/treatable diseases. This is aside the fact that Nigeria contributes about 10% of global maternal mortality though it hosts just 2% of the world female population. This narrati
Seroprevalence of Cryptococcus Neoformans in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Positive Patients attending Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital Kano, Nigeria

The HIV pandemic has greatly contributed to the emergence of opportunistic fungal infections. Over the last two decades Cryptococcus neoformans infection is estimated to cause more than 500,000 deaths annually among HIV positive subjects in sub-Saharan Africa. However, in this environment scant attention has been paid to the screening of this infection. This study was therefore designed to determi
Deriving Optimal Mean Indoor Concentration Threshold Levels of PM2.5 and VOC for Detecting Respiratory Symptoms among Pregnant Women in Ndola and Masaiti, Zambia
David Mulenga 1*, Seter Siziya 1
The burden of air pollution-related morbidity and mortality in developing countries will continue if limited air monitoring and lack of air quality standards continue. This paper focuses on deriving optimal mean indoor threshold concentration levels of particulate matter (PM2.5) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for detecting respiratory symptoms among pregnant women in Ndola and Masaiti, Zamb
Parallel Evolution in the βA Globin Gene of Black Kite, Bar-Headed Goose and Graylag Goose: Deciphering Hemoglobin Adaptation to High Altitude Hypoxia Using Birds as Models
Hylemariam Mihiretie Mengist, Ahmed Mohammed, Yuxi Wang,Tengchuan Jin, Lei Cao
Parallel evolution involving historically independent amino acid substitutions in hemoglobin (Hb) is expected among closely related lineages; however, such studies in distantly related species are limited especially from the structural point of view. Here we reported structural and phylogenetic based parallel amino acid substitutions in the βA globin gene of the Black kite (BK), Bar-headed goose (
Ubidercarenone Decelerates the Manifestation of Experimental Cerebral Malaria in C57BL/6J Mice by ameliorating the Host Inflammatory Response
James N. Nyariki, Lucy Ochola, David O.Bosire, Alfred O. Isaac
Cerebral Malaria (CM), a highly lethal form of severe malaria is known to cause inflammation that exacerbates pathology in the brain predominantly due to inflammatory immune response as a result of Plasmodium falciparum infection. There is limited progress in the development of new approaches for the treatment of CM. Therefore, in this study we investigated whether oral Ubidercarenone (Ubn) can re
Evaluation of Glycaemia, Creatininaemia and Uraemia in Rabbits (Oryctolagus Cuniculus) Fed with Spirulina
Kambou Sansan Philippe , Kouassi Konan Armand Marcelin, Eba Krou Philippe, Cisse- Camara
Spirulina is a micro-alga which has been consumed worldwide for centuries as a nutritional supplement due to its richness in nutrients. We set ourselves the objective of evaluating the impact of consuming this micro-alga on certain biochemical parameters. In this study, rabbits of Oryctolagus cuniculus species were used. Different doses of spirulina were administered intraperitoneally to the rabbi
