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

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

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
Ubidercarenone Decelerates the Manifestation of Experimental Cerebral Malaria in C57BL/6J Mice by ameliorating the Host Inflammatory Response
James N. Nyariki1*, Lucy Ochola2, David O.Bosire1, Alfred O. Isaac3
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
