The protective effects of aqueous leaf extracts of Jatropha curcas (JC) and Hibiscus sabdariffa (HS) against hepatic toxicity resulting from lead acetate exposure were studied. The protective potentials of JC and HS were assessed by monitoring selected liver function and anti-oxidant indices. Sixty male Wistar rats were separated into ten equal groups. The first and second groups represented the normal and Lead acetate (PbA) (50mg/kg b.w) control groups respectively while groups 3 and 4 were given 100mg/kg JC and 200 mg/kg JC respectively. Groups 5 and 6 received 250 mg/kg HS and 500 mg/kg HS respectively. Groups 7-10 were given PbA (50mg/kg) and 100 mg/kg JC, 200 mg/kg JC, 250mg/kg HS, 500mg/kg HS respectively. Rats were orally administered their relevant doses for 28 days. Blood samples were collected from heart puncture at the end of the experiment (28 days) for hepatic function analysis. Results revealed that Pb exposure increased the gamma glutamyl transferase, total bilirubin, aminotransferase activities (AST and ALT), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and caused histological changes in the liver of the exposed rat groups. The concomitant treatment of PbA with aqueous extracts of JC and HS led to a significant protection from the deleterious effects of lead acetate.

This study compared the chemical compositions of two local varieties of rice in Wukari, Taraba state. The two local varieties of rice analyzed were, Jambawo and Faro, both cultivated in Wukari. The samples were analyzed for proximate composition on dry matter basis, mineral and phytochemical compositions. Gross energy composition was determined theoretically. Proximate composition of the samples were determined by Standard Methods of Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC), while Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) was used for mineral content determination. Phytochemical Screening and quantification were carried out using standard methods. The results of the proximate analysis showed that Jambawo had higher levels of moisture content (13.27%), ash (1.20%), crude lipid (9.08%), crude fibre (0.56%), and crude protein (6.12%) than Faro. However, moisture content, ash, crude lipid, crude fibre, crude protein and carbohydrate (NFE) were 12.41%, 1.04%, 8.17%, 0.30%, 3.02%, and 87.48% respectively. Apart from ash content which were observed to be 1.20±0.05 and 1.04±0.12 for Jambawo and Faro respectively, there were significant differences (p<0.05) in the proximate parameters analyzed for the two varieties of rice. Qualitative screening of array of phytochemicals and quantitative determination of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols and oxalate were determined. The oxalate content was 1.17% and 1.05% for Jambawo and Faro respectively, while the contents of flavonoids, alkaloids  and phenols, as well as that of oxalate (p<0.05) varied significantly. The investigation showed that Jambawo is more nutritious than Faro, this finding can be exploited by consumers and farmers in making choices based on the innovative information revealed.

Maskne is an emerging terminology within the society, derived from the word ‘Mask’ and ‘Acne’ that refers to the occurrence of Acne cause by wearing a mask. Maskne is a novel problem occur in the society due to the current global mask-wearing activity which is strictly recommended during the pandemic. Essentially, maskne is a part of mechanical acne, resulted from occlusions, frictions, and microenvironmental changes of the skin. The underlying mechanism of Maskne is almost identical to the general Acnogenesis, including increased sebum production, hypercornification of the pilosebaceous ducts, abnormal bacteria colonization, and the process of inflammation. Therefore, management and prevention of Maskne should be focused on reducing the potential impact of acne formation based on the acknowledged mechanism.

The analysis of proximate compositions and mineral values of four commonly eaten leafy vegetables in Hong were carried out. The minerals in the leafy vegetables were analysed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, while the proximate composition was determined following standard analytical procedures. The vegetables were Balanites aegytiace, Moringa oleifera, Bitter leaf and Blood plum. The results of the analysis of the proximate composition showed that moisture content, ash content, crude lipid, crude fibre, crude protein and carbohydrate ranged 5.00% - 6.50%, 7.50% - 17.00%, 2.84% - 9.33%, 4.15% - 7.52%, 22.8 – 30.55%, 37.6 – 50.59% respectively. The result of the mineral analysis revealed that the leafy vegetables contained the following minerals Ca (53.921 ± 0.22mg/kg - 203.542 ± 0.32mg/kg), Mg (28.921 ± 0.21mg/kg - 124.156 ± 0.11mg/kg), Mn (2.817 ± 0.05mg/kg - 13.085 ± 0.09mg/kg), Zn (0.851 ± 0.01mg/kg - 3.015 ± 0.11mg/kg), Pb (0.001 ± 0.00mg/kg - 0.007 ± 0.01mg/kg) and Cd (0.001 ± 0.00mg/kg - 0.007±0.01mg/kg). The four leafy vegetables were found to contain appreciable amount of minerals and proximate composition indicating they are good sources of nutrients to human body.

Preface: Coronaviruses are a group of viruses belonging to the family of Coronaviridae, which infect both animals and humans. Human coronaviruses can cause mild disease similar to a common cold, while others cause more severe disease (such as MERS - Middle East Respiratory Syndrome and SARS – Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). A new coronavirus that previously has not been identified in humans emerged in Wuhan, China in December 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic has already been declared as modern history’s gravest health emergency by many countries. The way the world is responding to this unprecedented global crisis will be part of history books. The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed the global environment in which United Nations Member States are implementing development policies to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.  In response, the United Nations in Libya assisted in delivering swift, cost-effective and life-saving services that not only save lives today but prevent needs that may arise in the future. Libya is facing economic collapse, political instability, and ongoing conflict between violent militias—and it remains Africa’s main departure point to Europe for migrants seeking safety and opportunity. The International Rescue Committee provides vital healthcare and protection to vulnerable people caught in an increasingly unstable country. Methods: data were collected from the published reports by 16 global organizations who worked in Libya. Results: the financial support provided by nearly 15 global organizations who worked in Libya reached 49,768,688 US dollars in addition to another sorts of logistic and training supports. The gap of finance reached 18,403,587 $ (36.97%) while the estimated finance recorded 31,365,101 (63.03%). On the other hand, three organizations (The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), UN Habitat and, Emergency Telecom Sector) did not provide there promised fund (1595800 $). Conclusion: the financial support provided by nearly 15 global organizations who worked in Libya reached 49,768,688 US dollars in addition to another sorts of logistic and training supports. The gap of finance recorded 18,403,587 (36.97%) of the total promised finance. With regard to the political problems and the military conflict in Libya, the provided efforts and the financial supports by the global organizations seems to be very low. So, more global efforts to support the Libyan people during this pandemic outbreak combining with a serious political effort should be take place.

Pseudo exfoliation (PEX) syndrome is a complex systemic disorder of the extracellular matrix primarily affecting the eye and visceral organs characterized by the deposition of fibrillar material on all anterior segment structures.Ocular involvement in PEX primarily manifests with anterior segment findings.The present cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in the Department of Ophthalmology, Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla among the selected patients of pseudo exfoliation with glaucoma over a period of one year with an objective of describing the ocular as well as intra-ocular findings among them. There were 46 study participants of which there were 24 males and 22 females with the mean age of 68.43±9.88 years. Majority of the patients had an IOP ranging between 10-20 mm Hg and a vertical cup-disc ratio between 0.3 and 0.4. The overall mean RNFL Thickness was found to be 89.47±13.52 µm.Mean Central Corneal Thickness (CCT) in our study participants was 496.74±30.873 µm, Mean Endothelialcell density (ECD) was 2586.33±505.156 cells/mm2, Mean Coefficient of variation (CV) 37.37 ± 4.25%, whereas the Mean Hexagonal Ratio (HR) was found to be 29.74 ± 9.15 %. There were more morphological abnormalities of corneal endothelial cells and decrease in RNFL thickness in patients with PEX. The RNFL thickness and Endothelial Cell Density seem to be reduced, thus leading to progressive corneal damage.

The recent Pandemic of COVID-19 seems to pose the greatest threat to present humankind. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. This pandemic affects every aspects of life of mankind. The pandemic has resulted in significant global social and economic disruption, including the largest global recession since the great depression. It has led to widespread supply shortages exacerbated by panic buying, agricultural disruption and food shortages, and decreased emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases. Numerous educational institutions and public areas have been partially or fully closed, and many events have been cancelled or postponed. Misinformation has circulated through social media and mass media. The pandemic has raised issues of racial and geographic discrimination, health equity, and the balance between public health imperatives and individual rights. This review aims to enlighten our understanding about the pathogen, its mode of infection, clinical manifestation, pathogenicity and possible treatment of this disease. This disease has also affected economy, both on local and global basis and this has severe impact on countries like India. The education system has also been affected. In this review we will also discuss about effect of corona virus pandemic in economy and educational sectors.

Background: Heart failure timely and effective diagnosis and treatment directly affects the prognosis of patients, so early diagnosis of heart failure treatment is very important. The current diagnosis of heart failure has yet to be further improved. To investigate the relationship between plasma levels of cystatin-C and NT-proBNP in cardiac structure and function in patients with heart failure (HF) and the early detection of failure. Methods: Patients were recruited from the coronary care unit (CCU) of Al-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital and were admitted and verified as cases of HF by specialist cardiologists. Between the 1st of November 2017 and the 1st of April 2018; 48 patients (29 males and 19 females), were diagnosed to have HF and were included in the study. The total number of HF patients admitted to the CCU of the hospital during the study period was 100 patients but 52 patients were ruled out according to the exclusion criteria of the study such as Acute Myocardial Infarction, active myocarditis, Drug abuse or an alcohol drinker, renal failure .Apparently healthy subjects were recruited from the staff of Al-Mustansiryah Medicine College. They comprised (40) subjects (30 males and 10 females). Each subject who was recruited in the control group has underwent a full history and physical examination with a recording of : age, gender, smoking, chronic diseases and medications. Any subject in control group must be fasting for 8-14 hours at the time of drawing of blood specimen. Consent was taken from all subjects in the control group after being told about the aim of the study. The plasma Galectin-3 and cystatin-C and NT-proBNP levels were compared between the two groups to observe the value of plasma Galectin-3 and cystatin-C combined with NT-proBNP in the diagnosis of heart failure. Results: the levels of plasma cystatin-C and NT-proBNP were significantly higher in patients with heart failure Compared with the healthy control group. The levels of plasma cystatin-C and NT-proBNP increased significantly (p<0.01). The area under the ROC curve for the combined detection of plasma cystatin-C and NT-proBNP was greater than the area under the NT-proBNP alone tests. Conclusion: The combined detection of cystatin-C and NT-proBNP has high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of heart failure and can be used as a new detection mode.

Sample collection 180 collect samples were collected equally between males and females, from patients attending consulting clinics and suffering from UTI for different ages and both sexes. Urine samples were collected in sterile and sealed plastic tubes and then the tubes were marked with numbers and urine samples were transferred to the laboratory within a period not exceeding 30 minutes. Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most important and most common pathogenic species for humans. Species belonging to the genus are responsible for a wide range of diseases such as boils, impetigo and wound abscesses resulting from surgery. Pathogenicity and its ability to invade the host's tissue and spread in it is due to its possession of many virulence factors. Genetic elements called plasmids are in the form of circular ring structures of a double strand of DNA. They have the ability to be inherited steadily and spread widely in the cells of different bacteria. PCR technique was used to investigate the hemolysin gens possessed by bacterial isolates. The HLA gene is the main virulence factor encoding its pathogenicity. It is active against a group of host cells, including red blood cells. It gives an indication of the role of these genes in the pathogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus among hospitalized patients. Hemolysin is one of the most important virulent agents for bacteria that cause infections outside the intestine. The hemolysin enzyme breaks down the membranes of the red blood cells by making small holes in their membranes. It provides the bacteria with the iron they need, and as a result of its toxicity to the cells, leads to the destruction of the host's kidney tissues.

Coronavirus has been recognized in October, 2019, but the first infection with the virus in Iraq was identified in the province of Najaf, about 160 km south of Baghdad, on February 24, 2020 and aim of the research Knowing the extent of coronavirus effect on liver function, especially liver enzymes, which play a vital role in the vital processes in the human body 60 samples were collected at Al-Furat General Hospital from patients with COVID-19, of which 38 samples were for men, and 22 samples were for women; the blood was separated to extract serum by the centrifuge, then the results were obtained by an Automatic Biochemistry Analyzer device with Accent-200 and (GPT, ALP, TSB, GOT enzymes) were identified for comparisons between control and patients Through taking a section, analyses were performed for 60 patients, average age was 46, and ages were between 23-75 years. The values of the statistical analyses were clarified when compared to healthy people: the nature of the relationship where it was shown that there is a negative relationship in the amounts of GOT, GPT, ALP Proven by sig, which is higher than 0.05 and research shows that Coronavirus has actual effects on liver function, and the majority of patients have high GOT, GPT ALP due to a clear impact of COVID-19 on the liver enzymes.

In routine endodontic practice, attempts are made to reach a file system for biochemical preparation of the root canals which provides better conditions for the irrigating solution to clean and disinfect the root canals, trying as much as possible to preserve the quality of the preparation. The root canal shaping time has been drastically decreased with the aid of mechanized instrumentation, especially with the reciprocal movement of a single file, providing much more comfort for the patient as for the professionals involved in the process. Nevertheless, the concern with the capacity to withstand cyclic fatigue still remains, since once within the root canals all instruments may be prone to fracture. This study aimed to review the current literature concerning the cyclic fatigue of endodontic instruments in the Reciproc system. For the accomplishment of this work, PubMed database was used, and the set of cyclic fatigue descriptors as well, namely: Reciproc, NiTi and their similars, only in English. The readings of the abstracts were conducted according to the inclusion criteria, which was the gathering of the journals which carried out experimental studies in vitro, with instruments belonging to the Reciproc system, from the periods ranging from 2012 and 2019. It was concluded that the reciprocating instruments from Reciproc System (VDW, Munich, Germany) that presented the best performance quality, after scrutinizing several aspects, was the Reciproc Blue R25 instrument (25/0.8).

A cyanobacterium Aphanocapsa biformis was isolated from the collected soil samples from different locations.  Identification was carried out using morphological variation and taxonomical approaches according to Desikachary [1]. The axenic culture of Aphanocapsa biformis was obtained in the laboratory .For the biomass production, different culture media were used namely BG-11, Fogg’s medium, Allen and Arnon medium, Zarrouk’s medium and CFTRI medium The biomass was harvested by filtration through double layered muslin cloth and dried using air blower.After harvesting, the biomass obtained was subjected to the growth analysis.Carotenoids were estimated by spectrophotometer method according to Gowenlock [2].Out of the different culture media used, BG-11 medium supported the growth of Aphanocapsa biformis species properly as compared to other media used. The carotenoids content was more in Aphanocapsa biformis grown in Fogg’s medium followed by the BG-11 medium.

The study investigates the effects and potency of administration of aqueous leaves extract of Massularia acuminata and of sildenafil citrate on liver and kidney function parameters in aluminum chloride-treated in male albino rats. Thirty-five male rats were completely randomized into 7 groups of 5 animals each. Rats in group A is the control and were administered with distilled water, those in group B were treated with aluminum chloride which served as a toxicant, those in group C and D were treated respectively with sildenafil citrate alone; and toxicant and sildenafil citrate; while those in groups E, F, and G were treated with various doses of the extract: 100, 300, and 500 mg/kg body weight of Massularia accuminata (Extract) respectively as an intervention against the aluminium chloride toxicities. At the end of the study, the kidney and liver were harvested and homogenized and both the homogenized sample and blood samples were taken for biochemical assays. It was observed from the results that, there was a significant statistical increase in the activity of ALT and AST (serum, kidney and liver) in aluminum treated group perhaps due to the ROS and toxicities generated to the organs by induced toxicant (aluminium chloride) whereas there was a noticeable decrease level of these enzymes in control group. Also, it was observed that there was a significant decrease in the activity of ALT and AST (Serum and kidney) in the group administered with extract of Massularia acuminata at 100 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg body weight respectively causes no damage to the tissue analyzed, however other group administered with extract (500mg/kg body weight) were significantly elevated. It was observed that, there was a significant decrease in the activity of ALP in the negative control group compared to the control group which is due to the induced toxicant (aluminium chloride). It was observed that there was a significant decrease in the activity of ALP in the animals administered with 100mg/kg body weight and 300mg/kg body weight of plant extract below the control group. It was also observed that there was no significant difference in the group administered 500mg/kg body weight of plant. It was observed that, there was a significant decrease in the activity of AST in the negative control group compared to the control group which is due to the induced toxicant (aluminium chloride). It was also observed that there was a significant decrease in the activity of AST and AST in the group administered different doses of Massularia acuminata when compared to sildenafil citrate, and sildenafil plus aluminum chloride groups. The haematology results show an increase or elevated level in erythrocytes (RBC), mean corpuscular haemaglobin concentration (MCV), Neutrophil, MCH leukocytes (WBC) and platetcrit (PCT) in the extract-treated groups and sildenafil-treated as does in the control groups. The histology results revealed that extracts of Massularia acuminata may restored the architecture of the liver membrane when compared with the toxicant groups. The result of the histology of the photomicrograph of the liver revealed a normal of the hepatocyte is observed across all the groups with clear central veins, which indicates that the extract of Massularia acuminata preserves the normal architecture of the hepatocytes and thus the cell functions. In conclusion, from the results obtained above, it could be inferred that the aqueous leave extracts of Massularia acuminata possess a great potential of ameliorating and restoring hepatocyte damage induced by toxic chemicals and the potency of the extract, also may also find a great influence in boasting the immune system and hematological parameters in the animals, which are the keys to survival of the cell to normal body physiological functions.

Background: An outbreak with unknown etiology was reported in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, in December 2019, associated with the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market. The causative agent of the outbreak was identified by the WHO as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), producing the disease named coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). The virus is closely related (96.3%) to bat coronavirus RaTG13, based on phylogenetic analysis. Human-to-human transmission has been confirmed even from asymptomatic carriers. The virus has spread to at least 200 countries, and more than 1,700,000 confirmed cases and 111,600 deaths have been recorded, with massive global increases in the number of cases daily. Therefore, the WHO has declared COVID-19 as a pandemic. Methods: data were collected from the published reports by 16 global organizations who worked in Libya. Results: total Medical procedures provided recorded were (45296) while, the Percentage of reached municipalities (57%) Percentage of reached municipalities in areas of severity scale higher than 3 recorded (42%).  The COVID-19 testing centers in Libya recorded is (14). Total number of hospitals (97) closed (16) functional (81). Number of established inpatient beds (20369). Number of Intensive e care unit (other than neonatal ICU) (79). Number beds in Intensive care unit (498). Conclusion: the provided efforts and the financial supports by the Libyan government and the global organizations seems to be very low. So, more efforts to support the Libyan people during this pandemic outbreak combining with a serious political efforts should be take place.

Introduction- For many years, exercise, along with diet and medication, has been considered 1 of the 3 cornerstones of diabetes therapy. By individualizing treatment and focusing on metabolic outcomes, health care professionals can assist persons with diabetes to make lifestyle changes and to achieve metabolic goals. Aim- To see whether the three lifestyle interventions namely Rajyoga meditation, diet and exercise can have a role to play in slowing down the progress of diabetes in T2DM. Method- This was a intervention, pre and post study. Diabetic patients in the age group of 30-60years, including both sexes  and taking treatment since 5 to 10 years  were selected for the study. By random selection 60 diabetic patients were allocated to the intervention group. The study group had 3 subgroups namely (A) Rajyoga meditation(RM) only, (B) Diet and Exercise only and (C)RM, diet & exercise all three combined. Each subgroup had 20 diabetic patients.  Result- A  significant finding  was  observed in  HbA1C and  HDL values in Group C  and a  significant decrease in LDL level   in Group B .Conclusion-. It can be inferred that  all three lifestyle modification measures  can be used in the management of T2DM  in conjugation with routine antidiabetic therapy.

Biomaterials are natural or artificial materials that are used to act as part of a living system or to work in contact with living tissue. Additionally being used instead of diseased or damaged organs or tissues, spine stabilizers are used to appropriate somebody's functions, and biomaterials such as contact lenses, pacemakers, hearing aids are used to rise the functionality of some organs. Biomaterials are used in many areas such as surgical threads, screws, skin implantation, silicones, braces, and dental implants with the development of silver technology. Although biomaterials continue to develop in technology, their biocompatibility is very important. Adverse situations may arise during contact with biomaterials used in medical applications with living tissue for a certain period of time or continuously. The processes to accomplish these problems and the production of biocompatible biomaterials cover a multidisciplinary field of work. In this work, basic biomaterial types, their use in medical applications, and the importance of the production of new-generation biocompatible biomaterials in the future are emphasized.
