Published: May 2022

Introduction and Aim: Cervical Radiculopathy involves the compression of nerve roots causing an alteration of neurological functions in the upper limb. Neurological deficits like numbness, muscle weakness and loss of fine movements of the upper limbs were noted. Hand eye coordination is the ability to use motor and visual skills to produce a coordinated movement. The aim of this study is to compare the Hand eye Coordination in patients with Cervical Radiculopathy, nonspecific neck Pain and Normal healthy individuals.

Materials and Methods: Ninety participants who volunteered for the study were obtained from the Out Patient Department of UCA College of Physiotherapy, and they were divided into 30 without any neck pain for the past 1 year, 30 with nonspecific neck pain (no radiating pain) and 30 with radiating pain on one side. All were given two tasks on hand eye coordination, a) Balloon tossing test and b) Wall ball toss test. Two trials were given to all the participants and after a rest period they were asked to perform the task for three repetitions, and the mean was taken and noted for analysis.

Results: The collected data were analysed using SPSS 21.0. The result of the study shows that there was a significant difference P < 0.0001 in both the test on cervical radiculopathy participants when compared with other two groups.

Conclusion: This study concluded that Cervical Radiculopathy has strong influences on hand eye coordination and also strongly stated that there was some difficulty in doing appropriate movements when compared with the normal or nonspecific neck pain counterparts.

Introduction: Periodontitis and Diabetes Mellitus type 2 (DMII) are chronic diseases treated by conventional practices and traditional medicine. In many cases, when conventional medicine cannot offer a satisfactory treatment, increases the demand for alternative therapies in chronic conditions. The aim of this study randomized was to compare and evaluate for one year clinical and serologic parameters the effects of homeopathy as an adjunct of conventional periodontal therapy in individual with periodontitis and DMII. Materials and Methods: 85 individuals, of both genders, between 35 and 70 years old, participated in this randomized study, which 70 were eligible in Institute of Endocrinology and Diabetes of Rio de Janeiro-Brazil. They were divided into two groups G-1: individuals with periodontitis without systemic conditions and G-2: individuals with periodontitis and DMII. Both groups received homeopathic treatment and were evaluated in clinical and laboratorial examinations. The medication used was chosen based on the similarity principle, following the Berberis 6CH protocol (2 tablets, 2 times a day for 45 days), Mercurius Solubilis / Belladona / Hepar Sulfur - 6CH (2 tablets, 3 times a day for 15 days) and a Pyrogenium 200CH biotherapeutic (single weekly dose, 2 weeks). Medications are prescribed in diluted low concentration doses for all signs and symptoms, while biotherapy is used for chronic stimulation Results: Both groups showed significant improvements throughout the study, clinical and laboratorial, at 1 year baseline: reductions in total cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, glycated hemoglobin, uric acid and CPR. Statistical and descriptive analyzes were performed. The data obtained after laboratory analysis were tabulated and then submitted to the SPSS 17.0 software for Windows (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL) and significance level with p <0.05. For most of parameters, G-1 performed better than G-2 (p<0.05). Conclusion: After 1 year follow-up this clinical trial suggest that homeopathy therapy, as an adjunct of periondontal treatment, improves local and systemic parameters and can provide better health condition.

Introduction: The purpose of this trial was to assess the influence of homeopathy products on the diet of quails based on egg quality when submitted to different storage periods. Methodology: Two hundred, 45 day old Japanese quails and 80% of production were used, in a completely randomized design comprised of a 4x3 factorial, and 4 diets (basal feed, inert vehicle and 2 homeopathic products: Fertsigo® (Sulphur 10 CH, Sepia 15CH ) and Ovosigo® (Belladonna 12CH,Silicea 12 CH, Natrum mur. 30CH, Calcarea phos. 30CH, Sulphur 12CH) and 3 storage periods (0 days, 7 days and 14 days) with ten repetitions of three eggs per treatment. The weight, percentages of yoke, albumen and shell, albumen height and yolk color, specific gravity, Haugh unit, yolk index and shell thickness were evaluated. The data were submitted to variance analysis to verify whether there was a interaction effect between homeopathy factors and storage time, and when absent, the isolated effects. Results: An interaction between the homeopathic products and time was found for the parameters of albumen height and yolk, Haugh unit and yolk index, which reduced over time. For egg weight, yolk, albumen and shell, a significant effect (p<0.05) was found only in the case of homeopathy for the percentages of albumen and shell. For egg and albumen weights, yolk and albumen percentages, specific gravity and colorimetry there was an effect for time, however these parameters reduced over the storage time in days. The addition of the homeopathic based products Ovosigo® and FertSigo® are indicated for the diets of Japanese quail during the laying phase since it resulted in better weights for the egg and its components. Conclusion: The different homeopathic products did not have an influence on conserving the quality of the Japanese quail eggs during the periods evaluated.

Green leafy vegetables are gaining significant interest due to their nutritional value and disease-preventing potential. The Kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala) is known as the queen of vegetables in some parts of the world due to its higher nutritional value. The current comparative study evaluated total phenols, total flavonoids, glucosinolates, and antioxidant activity in thirty different genotypes of kale grown across the Kashmir valley in different environments. The leaves were collected at the edible stage, and the extracts were made using three different solvent systems (80% methanol, 80% ethanol, and water). The majority of the genotypes of kale indicated a difference in the content of bioactive compounds. Based on the accumulation of nutraceutical important phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, and sterols, the 30 genotypes of kale indicated a difference in bioactive compounds' content. The aqueous extract of K-29 demonstrated the phenolic content (71.68mg/gallic acid/g DW) and 60.98μMol/g DW glucosinolate content. Moreover, the methanolic extract of the K-29 genotype also indicated the higher phenolic content (85.56 mg/gallic acid/g DW), flavonoid content (16.64 mg/quercetin/g DW) as well as antioxidant activity (92.56 μMol FRAP/g DW). The higher antioxidant potential of K-29 is corroborated by its higher metabolic content of phenols and flavonoids.

Aims: We assessed the population abundance, density and habitat preference of sclater’s guenon (Cercopithecus sclateri) in Aboh-Mbaise communal forest to inform conservation efforts for the species now and in the future.
Study Design: We used the point count sampling method to estimate population size.
Place and duration of study: The study was carried out in Lagwa communal forest, Aboh-Mbaise Local Government Area, Imo State, between December 2019 and November 2021.
Methodology: We laid-out eight 2.5-km transects in a land area of 28,500km2. We enumerated and measured trees using the point-centered quarter method.
Results: Results of this study indicated that they were 738 individual monkeys, 392 in dry and 346 in the wet seasons. The population density was 0.04 ± 0.01 individuals/km2, with troop sizes of 4.09±0.83 and 3.68 ± 0.75 for dry and wet seasons, respectively. The monkeys were sighted mostly in secondary forest, sacred groves, and economic trees. Most of the trees were within the diameter-at-breast-height class of 21cm-30 cm. A total of (304) plant species were used by the monkeys for cover in both seasons; these included Dacryodes edulis, Elaeis guinensis, Magnifera indica, Treculia africana and Pterocarpus erinaceous.
Conclusion: The findings of this research is a prelude to understanding the population dynamics and habitat structure of the sclater’s guenon in the study area. Massive sensitization of the locals, regeneration of the remaining fragmented habitat and establishment of a wildlife sanctuary are needed to allow conservation of the species and its habitat.

Authors: Iniakpokeikiye Thompson , Fawei Biralatei 
Published: May 2022

The structure, variety and quantity of some current web content are limited in efficient exploration due to difficulty in searching and locating a specific content. A case is the Niger Delta University where there is no unified online structure holding relevant university data. This is because there is no common data model to manage the data for which such query can easily be interpreted semantically. Therefore, this paper presents the application of semantic web technology for the unification of university data management. This research prepares the ground for the advent of software agents and other applications that require structured data for their computational processes. The ontology development follows an iterative path of the Object-Oriented System Analysis and Design (OOSAD) methodology. SPARQL was used as the query language for testing the ontology. The result is a semantically structured data that is deployable and can be expanded and adapted in other institutions.
