This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of using Condensed Molasses Soluble (CMS) on the gut microba, pH and viscosity of hybrid ducks. One hundred and sixty hybrid ducklings (Day Old Duck) initial body weight 55 grams were randomly divided into 5 treatments with 4 replicates (8 each) in a Completely Randomized Design. The […]
The global livestock sector is facing mounting pressure to adopt sustainable and efficient feed alternatives that can meet the growing demand for animal protein. Among the emerging options, Hermetia illucens (Black Soldier Fly, BSF) oil presents a promising candidate due to its bioactive compound richness and capacity to upcycle organic waste into nutrient-dense biomass. This […]
This study aims to analyze the accounting information system for cash disbursements in enhancing the effectiveness of internal control activities at the Medan Plus Rehabilitation Foundation. Financial management, particularly in cash disbursement, is a crucial aspect in ensuring accountability and operational efficiency within the organization. The current financial recording system, which relies on Microsoft Excel, […]
Background: Coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) are rare (0.3 – 4.9 % of angiograms) and most often due to atherosclerosis. Granulomatous infections such as tuberculosis (TB) are an exceptional cause. Case summary: A 53-year-old Mexican man presented with an extensive anterior ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography revealed an 8-mm fusiform aneurysm in the proximal left-anterior-descending artery […]
AIM: The purpose of this study was to compare the availability and distribution of the various cadres of eye care workforce in Orlu, a sub-urban setting and Owerri metropolis, an urban setting in Imo State, in South Eastern Nigeria, using Vision 2020 standards as benchmarks with Literature review. Methodology: Two areas in Imo State, namely […]
Current evidence regarding the use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in the presence of left ventricular thrombus is primarily derived from observational studies with positive results in different meta-analyses that suggest a possible role for treatment. We present the case of a 54-year-old female with a history of arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus recently diagnosed, […]
This review explores rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder whose immunopathology involves a convergence of genetic susceptibility (notably HLA-DRB1 shared epitope alleles) and environmental exposures (smoking, infections) leading to an aberrant immune response. RA is a prevalent autoimmune disease globally, and though historically considered uncommon in Africa, emerging data show it is an important and likely […]
Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) is an emerging and controversial condition characterized by a multi-system, multi-symptom illness triggered primarily by biotoxin exposure, particularly from water-damaged buildings (WDB). First described by Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker, CIRS is thought to result from a genetically predisposed individual’s inability to eliminate biotoxins effectively, leading to chronic immune activation. Despite increasing […]
STEAM-based learning modules are a phenomenon as a medium for developing critical thinking skills in learning Science of Nature and Social Sciences (IPAS) in elementary schools (SD). The purpose of this study was to describe the feasibility of developing STEAM-based IPAS learning modules as a medium for developing critical thinking skills. The type of research […]
This study aimed at evaluating the acute and subacute toxicity of the aqueous leaf extract of Euphorbia hirta in experimental animals. For acute toxicity assessment, mice were orally administered single doses of 2000 and 3000 mg/kg body weight (bw), with the administration volume set at 1 mL/100 g bw. A limit test was conducted to […]
