The study investigated factors responsible for the low performance of female students in integrated science in some selected Junior High Schools (JHS) in the Aowin Municipal of Western North region of Ghana. The study employed descriptive research design to investigate the determinants of female students’ poor performance in the subject. The sample size for the study comprised 375 JHS female students selected from five educational circuits in the Aowin Municipal. A four-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree) was developed and administered to the participants. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics, specifically, mean and standard deviation. Findings revealed poor psychological state, teachers’ teaching practices/procedures and students’ socio-economic background as possible factors responsible for female students’ low academic performance in integrated science subject. It was recommended among others that the Municipal education office should organize workshops and seminars on the state-of-the-art procedure of teaching science subjects in the basic schools with particular emphasis on how to create a good learning atmosphere for the female students.

Published: April 2022

Aims: To determine the saving and spending attitudes of college students.
Study Design: Descriptive and semi-quantitative.
Place and Duration of Study: Malita, Davao Occidental, Philippines during the first semester of 2019-2020
Methodology: The respondents of the study were chosen using the Slovin formula. One hundred thirty-three college students were involved. Data were gathered through an adapted survey questionnaire.
Results: Generally, the mean age of the respondents was 20.54. Most of them were female. The respondents saved money regularly for emergency use. Their parents were their usual source of money and they kept their savings in the piggy bank. The money they obtained was commonly spent on school projects. Others did not have savings due to lack of money. Only few of the respondents deposited their savings in the banks. It was also found that age determined the saving attitude. Conversely, if considered individually, saving attitude had no significant difference with gender and marital status but when grouped together, saving attitude had significant difference with gender and marital status. It implicated that saving money should be introduced early among the children.

Published: April 2022

Background: The reduction of dataset dimensions for better presentation, visualization, postulation testing, and clarification has not been reported by researchers in Nigeria COVID-19 cases. To realize the impact and magnitude of coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, univariate statistical analysis is monotonous in describing daily reported datasets. However, to truly understand the events and contrasting outcomes for different states in developing nations like Nigeria, multivariate analytical tools were applied to envisage and differentiate states more specifically and precisely. We made use of data analysis tools that can display the arrangement of data points in fewer proportions while keeping the dissimilarity of the original data to a feasible extent, and cluster states according to their results on the established proportions.
Methods: Pearson's correlation coefficient, principal component analysis, and hierarchical cluster analysis analyzed the data from 36 states of Nigeria and the FCT-Abuja; with COVID-19 cases for 6 months, eligible states included in the analysis are those with total cases of 20 or more with no irregular data.
Results: After performing Pearson's correlation coefficient, it reveals that the month of July, August, and October correlated with the discharged cases and active cases among the states but increased in the last quarter of 2020. The principal component analysis identified that total death emerged as the principal component for Lagos state was from October through December while Delta, Edo, Rivers, and Kano state were behind. Hierarchical cluster analysis associated the EndSars protest to have equally contributed to the striking clusters in some other states like Rivers, Enugu and Delta.
Conclusions: In summary, accurate multivariate analyses have shown to be of great value and can simplify concepts, impacts, communicate research findings, and reinforce decision-taking and public-policy drivers.

Published: April 2022

This study assesses the natural radioactivity as well as their derived health implication in locally produced palm kernel oil in Osun State, Nigeria. A total of 16 samples were collected from eight major factories in four towns in the study area. Thallium-doped sodium iodide (NaI (Tl)) scintillation detector was used to determine the activity concentration of these radionuclides and the results obtained were used to calculate radiological impact parameters. The results show that the radionuclides detected and quantified in this study came from the naturally-occurring radionuclides 238U and 232Th decay series, as well as non-series 40K. The overall mean concentrations for 40K, 232Th and 238U in all the samples were 14.68 ± 1.55, 6.03 ± 1.74 and 5.55 ± 2.09 Bq L-1, respectively. The range of measured activities in the palm kernel oil varies within the same factory which may be due to the fact that the production processes and most especially the source of the palm kernel used by the factories and nature of the soil where the palm tree is planted varied. The estimations of all radiological impact parameters were found to be lower than their respective world average values. These low values imply that the probability of suffering serious radiation hazards is low in the areas.

Aims: To evaluate Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection treatment outcome using the levels of white blood cells, haemoglobin, platelets counts and other red cell indices of HBV positive treatment naïve, on treatment at 3- and 6-months subjects attending gastro-enterology clinic in Federal Medical Centre Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria
Study Design: Cross-Sectional and longitudinal study.
Place and Duration of Study: Federal Medical Centre Asaba (FMC) and Iykenson Medical and Diagnostic Co. Ltd, Awka. Federal Medical Centre, Asaba, between August 2019 and September 2020.
Methodology: A total of one hundred and fifteen (115) adults aged 22 – 64 years participated in this study. The study sites for this work comprised of Federal Medical Centre Asaba (FMC) and Iykenson Medical and Diagnostic Co. Ltd, Awka. The cross-sectional study consists of fifty (50) confirmed hepatitis B negative subjects as negative controls whereas, the follow-up study consists sixty-five (65) treatment naïve HBV positive subjects which were followed-up at three and six months on treatment with tenovofir respectively. Four (4) of the participants (two in three months post treatment and two six months post treatment) dropped-out of the research due to time constraint. Blood samples were collected from the subjects in EDTA bottles and were used for the analysis of white blood cell (WBC count), haemoglobin concentration, packed cell volume (PCV), mean cell volume (MCV), mean cell haemoglobin (MCH), mean cell haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and platelet count (PLT). Statistical Package for social Science (SPSS) software version 26 was used in the analysis of data and P<.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: There were no significant difference (P>.05) in neutrophil, lymphocyte, eosinophil and monocyte in the study population among the four groups whereas, the level of total white blood cell counts was significantly lower in the HBV naïve, one month post treatment and three-month post treatment when compared with the control group. The levels of haemoglobin, packed cell volume, mean cell volume, mean cell haemoglobin and mean cell haemoglobin concentration were significantly lower in the HBV naïve, three months on treatment and six-months on treatment when compared with the control group (P<.05).
Conclusion: In conclusion, it is possible that HBV infection has effect on iron metabolism and production of haematological precursor cells which are reflected in low levels of haemoglobin, PCV, MCV, MCH and MCHC as such these parameters could be used as co – markers to viral load in monitoring the treatment outcome of HBV infection in Nigeria.

Concept and Therapeutic Approach of Intermediate Hyperglycemia with Special Reference to Unani Medicine
Authors: Nasir Abdul , Fatma Gazala 
Published: April 2022

Intermediate Hyperglycemia is a category of glucose tolerance representing an intermediate stage between normal glucose tolerance (NGT) and diabetes. Within this category are two subcategories: impaired fasting glucose (IFG; 100 –125 mg/dl) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT; defined as a 2-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) plasma glucose concentration of 140 –199 mg/dl). Intermediate Hyperglycemia is not specifically mentioned in Unani medicine, however some classical Unani physicians have described the initial symptoms and factors leading to the pathology. In Unani medicine the risk factors are described in terms of ‘Su-e-mizaj’ as per the concept of Tibb. So, it is considered in the context of Zeyabutus which is described as a disease which develops due to Su-e-mizaj haar (abnormal hot temperament) by the majority of scholars. The two major pathophysiologic defects responsible for losing glucose tolerance are insulin resistance and β-cell glucose insensitivity, both appearing in subjects of Intermediate Hyperglycemia. Symptoms mentioned in Unani medicine may be increased frequency of micturition (ants and flies are attracted to urine), increased thirst, nocturia, dryness of mouth and whole body, fatigue, loss of weight, malaise, cramps in lower extremities.
The drug based approach for management of Intermediate Hyperglycemia is associated with inherent drawbacks, including toxicity, tolerability, cost and efficacy. Oral hypoglycemic drugs are also associated with various side effects as Biguanides cause gastrointestinal upsets, anorexia, nausea, diarrhea and lactic acidosis. There are a number of single Unani drugs like Jamun (Syzigium cuimini), Karela Bark or Bitter Gourd (Momordica charantia), Neem (Azadirachta indica), Methi (Trigionella foenum), Bael Leaves (Aegle marmelos), Kalonji (Nigella sativa), Tabasheer (Bambusa arundinaceae), Gurmar booti (Gymmema sylvestre) and compound formulations like Qurs Ziyabetus, Qurs Tabasheer, Qurs Kafoor, Qurs Gulnar.

Authors: Dinalli Francisco Amanda , Sande Miguel Thiago , Luiza Mansur Souto Ana , Almeida da Costa Daniel , Bastos Pereira Maurício 
Published: April 2022

Aims:To describe a Axenfeld-Rieger Syndrome.
Presentation of Case: MCL, 7 years old, female, brown, was taken to the ophthalmology outpatient clinic of the Hospital Universitário Antônio Pedro, Brazil by her parents, complaining of low visual acuity and malformation of the pupil perceived since birth.
Discussion: Axenfeld-Rieger Syndrome is a rare and hereditary disease. Clinically, Axenfeld's anomaly is characterized by the presence of posterior embryotoxon, and there may be adherence of iridian tissue in its periphery. In addition to Rieger's anomaly, posterior embryotoxon is added to iris hypoplasia and iris thickness defects, uveal ectropion and pupillary alterations, such as corectopia. Rieger's syndrome is associated with extraocular changes, of which hypodontia, myicrodontia, maxillary hypoplasia, telecanthus, hypertelorism and hypospadias stand out.
Conclusions: Therefore, the importance of early diagnosis, follow-up and adequate treatment becomes evident in order to preserve the visual function of patients and thus avoid an unfavorable evolution.

AbstractSuture materials are the most common bioimplants in surgical and clinical practice, playing a crucial role in wound healing and tendon and ligament repair. Despite the assortment available on the market, sutures are still affected by significant disadvantages, including failure in mimicking the mechanical properties of the tissue, excessive fibrosis, and inflammation. This study introduces a mandrel‐less electrodeposition apparatus to fabricate continuous microfiber wires of indefinite length. The mandrel‐less biofabrication produces wires, potentially used as medical fibers, with different microfiber bundles, that imitate the hierarchical organization of native tissues, and tailored mechanical properties. Microfiber wire morphology and mechanical properties are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, digital image processing, and uniaxial tensile test. Wires are tested in vitro on monocyte/macrophage stimulation and in vivo on a rat surgical wound model. The wires produced by mandrel‐less deposition show an increased M2 macrophage phenotype in vitro. The in vivo assessment demonstrates that microfiber wires, compared to the medical fibers currently used, reduce pro‐inflammatory macrophage response and preserve their mechanical properties after 30 days of use. These results make this microfiber wire an ideal candidate as a suture material for soft tissue surgery, suggesting a crucial role of microarchitecture in more favorable host response.
