This was a retrospective, case series study at Eye Foundation Community Hospital, Ilese-Ijebu-Imushin, Ogun state of Nigeria. Inclusion and exclusion criteria: All patients 18 years and above operated for cataract surgery without comorbidity were included in the study. Pre-existing ocular comorbidities were grouped as corneal pathologies, retinal disease, glaucoma and others (non-glaucomatous optic nerve pathologies…
Staphylococcal isolates exhibiting resistance to both erythromycin (zone size d” 13mm) and clindamycin (zone size d” 14mm) with circular shape zone of inhibition around clindamycin (whenever present) were labelled as this phenotype. Vancomycin MIC was determined on Mueller Hinton agar using E-test strips (AB Bio-disk, Solna, Sweden) after incubation at 370C for 24 hours. The…
The isolation of the lactic acid bacteria was done following the pour plate technique. Samples were obtained directly from the 72-hour fermenting mash of the kunu-zaki made from each cereal type. The samples were collected in sterile carriers and stored on ice until delivery to the laboratory. Once delivered to the laboratory, they were kept…
This work is focused on the determination of H2 and CO2 and just a simple low-cost gas chromatograph for students was found to be sufficient to separate both compounds, although the column could be operated at room temperature only and thus the retention time reproducibility in the following chromatograms therefore may vary slightly with changing…
Overlapping and cutting of peptides: For the determination of an epitope in the allergen, the individual peptides are docked against the whole antibody. For this, the entire sequences of the allergen which were retrieved from UniProt are cut into short overlapping peptide fragments using Sigma-Aldrich tools [Peptide Library design and calculator tool]. Sigma Aldrich’s “Overlapping…
The expression profile, signaling and neuronal functions of the 5-HT2C receptor makes it a candidate of interest for the treatment of several neuropsychiatric diseases. The encoded ligand-gated G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) protein responds to cell signaling through several neurotransmitters. Signal transduction through G-proteins is a prominent feature of several eukaryotes. In this review and analysis…
An important consideration in foodborne outbreaks, particularly in MP fruits and vegetables, is that they are often investigated at the end of the food chain production. However, a more comprehensive approach involves investigating across human, animal, and environmental sectors, each informing the other synergistically. It is widely recognized worldwide that achievements in the areas of…
‘Protective cultures’ are antagonistic cultures used primarily for inhibiting the growth of pathogenic organisms and to extend the shelf life of the meat products without altering the sensory properties and can act as starter cultures as well in meat fermentation. With health-conscious consumers demanding minimally processed foods and a lack of refrigeration facilities in many…
Fresh serum samples from 1730 human cases of different age and occupational groups, and either sex, with PUO or manifesting signs suggestive of leptospirosis were received by the Leptospirosis Laboratory at the Department of Veterinary Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, Veterinary College and Research Institute, Namakkal from various hospitals in and around Namakkal district of Tamil…
A total of 200 clinically diagnosed cases of tinea infection, of all age groups and of both sexes, attending outpatient Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Chigateri General Hospital and Bapuji hospital were taken for this study. A detailed history of the patient was recorded. The affected part was cleaned with 70% ethyl alcohol, skin and…
