Socio-demographic data of patients were also collected and analyzed using STATA/IC. A total of 615 seropositive blood samples were collected from three hospitals. The female to male ratio was found to be 2:1 of which age bracket 20-40 years had the highest infective number (63.3%) among other age categories. There was higher HIV occurrence among the married (52%) than the single (26.8%), while those with primary or secondary education had the highest (42.4%) compared to tertiary education (36.7%) and no formal education (9.1%). The CD4 count of infected cases showed that 51.2% had CD4 count between 100-200 cells/µL with 5.2% above 200 cells/µL. Also only 47.3% of the total infected cases placed on ART had a mean CD4 cell count (132.1±4.23) higher than those not on ART (CD4 count = 98.67±3.56).

In some beam calibration protocols, a tissue-phantom-ratio at depths 20 cm and 10 cm (TPR20,10) in a phantom is used to determine the beam-quality conversion factor for different ion chambers. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the efficiency of Monte Carlo code in the determination of beam quality of high radiation energy beams similar to what is expected in clinical settings. Electron Gamma Shower National Research Council in Canada (EGSnrc) Monte Carlo Code was used to design complex ion chamber geometries according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Phase space files were used as x-ray beam radiation sources. Two set-ups (SAD and SSD) methods were used for the determination of TPR20,10 to conform to the accepted clinical procedures. Beam collimation was 10 cm by 10 cm field size with an ionization chamber placed at 20 cm and 10 cm in the water phantom to obtain doses at two points respectively. The TPR20,10 of each energy was obtained using the appropriate equations. The obtained results showed no significant difference between the measured and available TPR 20,10 data (p = 0.995). Ion chamber configurations and specifications were also found not to have a significant effect (p = 0.33) on the TPR 20,10 obtained values. The results obtained in this study are in agreement with the recommended standard values. The findings of this study show that the Monte Carlo codes can be used as a tool in determining x-ray beam quality indices of designed clinical linear accelerator (Linac) machines.","PeriodicalId":194209,"journal":{"name":"Nigerian Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences","volume":"15 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138604200","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}

The purpose of this research, was to determine the frequency of occurrence of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus in salads sold in the cafeteria on the campus. A total number of 13 samples of salad were obtained and screened for the possible presence of pathogenic bacteria. Identified bacteria isolates were then tested for virulence traits such as antibiotic resistance, motility, biofilm and possession of blaTEM and blaCTX-M genes. All the sought for organisms were found in all collected samples. The total heterotrophic count ranged from 0.74 ± 1.3 ×103cfu/g to 28.2 ± 1.75 × 103cfu/g. The frequency of occurrence of these microorganisms in the salads from the cafeteria stalls ranged from 0(0%) to 5(41%). S. aureus and E. coli had the highest occurrence at 34%. The result of the antibiotic susceptibility test showed complete resistance of all isolates to amoxicillin clavulanate and cefotaxime and complete sensitivity to gentamycin and ofloxacin. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and S. aureus isolates showed multi-drug resistance. Multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) index ranged from 0.16 to 0.83. Out of all the isolates, only one E. coli of all the E. coli isolates showed the ability to produce biofilm. Amplification of the ESBL genes (blaTEM and blaCTX-M genes) in S. aureus, E. coli and P. aeruginosa isolates showed that they possess the gene which encodes for their resistance to cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, penicillin and cephalosporins.

With an estimated ruminant population of 18.4 million Cattle, 43.4 million Sheep, and 76 million goats, livestock production is one of the largest agricultural sub-sectors of the Nigerian economy, contributing more than one-third of Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Despite this, diseases of varying morbidity and mortality have plagued livestock and seasonally, threaten to wipe out specific animals in some areas in Nigeria. These outbreaks and epizootics are often unreported, unconfirmed, or poorly documented. Thus, this review provides information on the role of pathogenic microorganisms in ruminant mortality and production losses in Nigeria. A scoping review method was utilised to generate baseline data on ruminant diseases and interventions for the control and eradication of diseases of high mortality in ruminants in Nigeria. Overall, brucellosis, contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) and foot and mouth Disease (FMD), were identified as the major ruminant diseases in Nigeria. Mortalities were mostly associated with CBPP and brucellosis in cattle. FMD constituted the other impediments of moderate to high morbidities and mortalities to ruminant production in Nigeria. The endemicity of these diseases is driven by poor herd health management systems, inadequate financial support from the government, animal movement, border porosity, poor surveillance activities, inadequate outbreak reporting mechanisms, animal identification and quarantining activities, insufficient number of vets and paravets working in the government and public services.","PeriodicalId":194209,"journal":{"name":"Nigerian Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences","volume":"36 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138601252","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}

Using the pour plate technique, bacteriological analysis of the samples was performed. Total coliform counts were counted on MacConkey agar, total bacterial counts on Nutrient agar, and total fungal counts were counted on potato dextrose agar. Phenotypic and biochemical assays were used in identifying the bacterial isolates. Disc diffusion techniques were used to test the isolates' antibiotic susceptibility, and the MAR index of the isolates was determined. The total bacterial count, total coliform count and the total fungal count of the samples varied from 1.5 to 8.8×103cfu/g, 0.3 to 6.6×103cfu/g and 1 to 7.3×104cfu/g respectively. The organisms recovered were enteric, Gram-negative members of the Enterobacteriaceae family. Multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) to four to seven different antibiotics was developed by the isolates. The research area has a high overall rate of multiple drug resistance pathogens isolated from the kulikuli samples. The MAR Index was higher than 0.2, however a MAR index that is greater than 0.2 suggested high-risk sources, like places where bacteria have been repeatedly exposed to antibiotics or where the use of antibiotic is common. In conclusion, in order to avoid consuming these pathogens and harmful toxins together with the products, kulikuli should be sold in hygienic conditions and environments, be sealed, and not be exposed to air. This is because the organisms identified in this study indicated health risks that would be harmful to consumers.","PeriodicalId":194209,"journal":{"name":"Nigerian Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences","volume":"17 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138603835","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}

Traditionally, the leaves are consumed as part of diets, however, there is paucity of scientific information on the use of ADCOL based-diet (BD) against CA. Thus, the study investigated the effects of ADCOL BD in cellular system of irradiated rats. The objectives of the study were to determine the secondary metabolites in ADCOL, induce cellular alterations in rats and evaluate the protective, ameliorative and toxicity of ADCOL BD on rats. A total of 72 rats (186 ± 4.90g) were used in the 2 phases of this study. In the ameliorative phase, 36 rats were assigned into 6 groups of 6 each; Group I were fed with rat chow and distilled water only, all other groups were irradiated, such that, Groups II III, IV, V & VI were fed rat chow only, 80% inclusion of ADBD, 80% inclusion of COBD, 80% inclusion of combined ADCOLBD and Vitamin-C-BD respectively. Similar design was adopted for protective phase, except that, the rats were initially fed the inclusion diet before irradiation. Micronuclei status were viewed by automated electron microscope, p53 level was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and antioxidant status of rat were determined by standard methods. Data were analysed using Duncan multiple range test at p<0.05.
