The research aimed to analyze systemic technical approaches to nipping crime in the bud. Police Primary School was employed. Recruitment was 100 pupils. They were five classes in all, and each classroom had 20 pupils. The pupils stayed in their classrooms. The research is in two phases: Phase 1 is voice recognition, and phase 2 is the truth serum approach. Phase 1 was to test the ability of students to recognize each other through a voice from spoken words between close associates. Each class was allocated twenty seconds for the ear witness voice recognition. The pupils in each class block utter sounds (speak), one after the other, and the other class block keenly listens to their voices for identification. In phase 2, pupils receive items as an enticement for the truth. This item is mind-altering, and the crime's identity is known. The research analyzed information obtained from the pupils after inducement to ascertain the doer of the crime. In phase 1, pupils in the same classrooms' voice recognition scored above 70%, while pupils in different classrooms scored above 60% in all the classrooms demonstrated. Only Classrooms B and D were non-significant from other classrooms (P>0.05) in the same classrooms, while non-significant differences in the different classroom settings were observed. Pase-2 revealed above 60% of the crime doers. Only two classrooms were not significant. The most frequent crime is noise making. The divulging of information on crime doers was comparable in all.

Despite a variety of methods available to assess injuries of the knee joint, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) continues to play a major role. This study evaluated the spectrum of MRI findings in a relatively low resource environment, with limited access to MRI modality. The outcome should justify further investment in MRI services in this locality. The study involves retrospective analysis of MRI reports of 198 clinically symptomatic patients referred for imaging in a Port-Harcourt. All examinations were performed using GE BRIVO MR 235 machine with 0.35 Tesla field strength in a well-coupled standard knee coil. All images were analyzed for normality or otherwise and radiological reports generated by competent radiologists. The most common findings are traumatic in origin, notably cruciate ligament tears (37.37%) and meniscal tears (33.3%) as well as quadriceps tendon tears (3.03%). The medial meniscus and anterior cruciate ligaments were more frequently involved. Furthermore, patients in the 3rd and 4th decade of life were more commonly involved, with a male preponderance. The less common findings of Synovial chondromatosis, cyst-like lesions, tumors and loose bodies, all buttress the importance of routine MRI in atraumatic cases. The spectrum of MRI findings in this study is a reflection of growing interest and confidence in MRI of the diseased knee joint in our environment. The outcome would be a justification for future investments in MRI.

Prostate cancer is the most diagnosed cancer among men and causes mortality and morbidity in elderly males. The present study was carried out to determine the pattern of prostatic lesions in male patients at Gadarif Advanced Medical Diagnostic Centre, Gadarif State, Eastern Sudan from October 2017 to September 2019. For this retrospective descriptive investigation, the analysis of histopathological records of 167 cases of prostate lesions showed the mean age of 71±9.6 years; most of the patients being in the age group 61-70 years represented 67(40.1%) cases. The most common patterns of the prostatic lesions were benign prostatic hyperplasia accounted for 124 (74%) cases, 85(68.5 %) of them having chronic prostatitis on top of the benign prostatic hyperplasia, the second pattern was adenocarcinoma which accounted for 42 cases. 32(19.2) malignant cases showed PSA levels >24 ng/ml, which revealed strong correlation between the increase in PSA levels and malignant lesions (p= 0.000). The most frequent Gleason scores were 7 and 9 and Gleason’s grade 3 was the most common histologic grade found in 16 (41%) cases.

Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial properties of saponins-rich extract of Z. zanthoxyloides leaf. The extraction of saponins from the methanolic extract of Z. zanthoxyloides leaf was done using standard procedure. The antimicrobial property of the extract was also tested by agar well diffusion method for activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia and Moraxella catarrhalis isolated from clinical samples. The susceptibility patterns of test isolates against the saponins-rich fraction were determined at extract concentrations of 100, 125 and 250 mg/ml, respectively. Ciprofloxacin was used as positive control while methanol was used as the negative control. Phytochemical screening of the crude methanol extract of the leaf of Z . zanthoxyloides showed the presence of saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids and tannins. The antimicrobial results revealed that the extract had no inhibitory effect on S. aureus at all the concentrations but the largest zone of inhibition for the extract was recorded with K. pneumoniae and M catarrhalis with mean diameter zone of inhibition of 15.04±0.167 mm at 250 mg/ml. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the extract on M. catarrhalis, S. aureus and K. pneumonia were at 50, 125 and 500 mg/ml, respectively. The apparent antimicrobial activity of the saponins-rich fraction of Z. zanthoxyloides , as shown by the results of this research, suggests its potential usefulness in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases.","PeriodicalId":143393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical and Biological Science Research","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123879247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Healthcare professionals (HCP) are at the frontline in the battle against this deadly virus. Their knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) are pivotal in the fight against the disease. A hospital-based cross-sectional survey was carried out to assess KAP of HCP in Sudan towards COVID-19. The study was conducted in Omdurman Military Hospital (OMH) during April 2020. A total of 112 HCP constituted the sample size and were selected through simple random sampling. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS software version 26. Females constituted 62.5% of the study sample, while 37.5% were males. 57.1% were between 23 to 30 years of age. Nurses were the highest represented category with 34.8%, followed by physicians and pharmacists with 26.8% and 20.5%, respectively. The mean knowledge score among females was 4.84 out of 6 and for males 4.52 (p-value 0.05). The difference in knowledge score concerning the age group or profession carried no statistical significance. 93.8% of the study participants showed good knowledge about the disease. And 81.3% had a positive attitude towards preventive measures. This study spotted the light on the awareness and skills of the front-liners in the battle against the deadly virus.
