A total of 260 high vaginal swabs were collected from women attending gynaecological and antenatal clinics in Uyo, Nigeria. The samples were subjected to standard parasitological method of diagnosis of Trichomonas vaginalis. The result showed that 46 (17.7%) of the women examined were infected with T. vaginalis. Age related prevalence of infection showed that subjects aged 21 � 25 years had the highest prevalence of infection (26.9%) while those aged >40 years had the least prevalence (3.6%) and this was statistically significant. Traders (33.3%) had the highest infection rate when compared with other occupational groups (p<.05). Other statistically significant risk factors included, no formal education, single status, pregnant women, primigravidity and the third trimester of pregnancy. Trichomonas is associated with significant obstetric and gynaecological morbidity, there is need for education of at risk women on the modes of transmission as a strategy for prevention and control.","PeriodicalId":89628,"journal":{"name":"The Internet journal of mental health","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76814115","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}

This work attempts to provide the pharmacological basis for the ethno medical use of the plant in the treatment of diarrhoea. The methanolic leaf extract was screened for anti-diarrhoeal activity on whole mouse gastrointestinal tract. The Phytochemical screening of the plant and acute toxicity were also carried out.Two models were adopted for anti diarrhoea evaluation: Measure of intestinal transit time and Measure of Inhibition of castor oil induced diarrhoea.The results obtained in the intestinal transit model showed that the percentage distances travelled by the charcoal were: 83.82%±4.6, 52.75%±5.8, 33.68%±10.1, 17.31%±4.9, and 36.12%±9.5 for groups A, B, C, D and E respectively. While the results obtained in the castor oil induced diarrhoea model showed the average number and weight of stool per group over 4 hours were: 14.25±0.48 : 0.3391g, 6.50±0.86 : 0.59g, 6.75±2.175 : 0.2793g, 2.25±0.75 : 0.1834g and 7.75±0.75 : 0.2353g for groups A, B, C, D and E respectively This result shows that the extract inhibits gastrointestinal motility and its antidiarrhoeal property is dose dependent.Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of carbohydrate, reducing sugars, Saponins , anthracene derivatives, tannins and cardiac glycosides.The extract at 4g/kg produced no acute toxicity even after being monitored for 5 days.

Total 27 episodes of hospitalization were reported in recall period of one year. Out of this 33.3 % were due to surgical cases and 25.95 were due to infectious diseases. 66.6% received treatment at the general hospitals.Total 31 episodes of chronic illnesses were reported in recall period of one year. Irregularity of treatment was the important aspect of chronic illnesses.Antenatal care was mainly received from general hospitals.

This study was to compare the teratogenic effect of maternal administration of various doses of beer and fermented palm wine on the histological features of the fetal cerebral cortex of wistar rats. The percentage of alcohol in beer was experimentally found to be 6.1%. The estimated alcohol content in five days fermented palm wine was 4.5%. Female rats of proven fertility were caged with sexually matured male rats. The presence of sperm in the vaginal smear obtained the following morning confirmed coitus and the sperm positive day was designated as day zero of pregnancy. Oral doses of 4ml, 8ml of beer and 4ml, 8ml of five days fermented palm wine was administered respectively from 7th to 13th day of gestation. On the 20th day of gestation, and the rats were sacrificed and the fetuses removed. The cerebral cortex were removed and fixed in Boiun,s fluid, stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin method and examined under the microscope.Histological result showed marked distortion and disappearance of the intermediate zone of the developing cerebral cortex, a merging of the subventricular and intermediate zone and reduction in the cortical and subventricular zones in the treated groups. These observations were more severe in sections from rats whose mothers received 8ml of beer and 8ml of 5days fermented palm wine. Our results suggest that fermented palm wine and beer is teratogenic to the developing cerebral cortex of wistar rats.","PeriodicalId":89628,"journal":{"name":"The Internet journal of mental health","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79109625","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}

For the purpose, total one hundred eighty subjects of both genders, between the ages 40~50 years were recruited randomly. Anthropometrical measurement like height, weight and waist to hip ratio was measured by standard techniques. To determine whether an adults weight is appropriate for his height, Body Mass Index (B.M.I.) was computed. For socio-economic characters, a number The respective information was collected through questionnaire cum interview method. The dietary intakes were taken for all selected subjects by 24 hr recall method for three consecutive days. All data so obtained was coded, tabulated and statistically analyzed. The obesity was found more prevalent in women than men and urban compared to rural dwellers. Urbanization, gender, loneliness and divorced or widowed status were the strong predictors of obesity. The present dietary data indicated that obese peoples were consuming highly imbalanced diets containing more protein, fat and calcium and less amounts of fiber, iron than the Recommended Dietary Allowances. A community based approach using multiple strategies including appropriate education will be required to address the problem.","PeriodicalId":89628,"journal":{"name":"The Internet journal of mental health","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85337293","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}
