  The acute toxicity and effects of diazinon on some haematological parameters of kutum (Rutilus frisii kutum, Kamensky, 1901) weighing 613.33 ± 157.06 g were studied under static water quality conditions at 15 °C ± 2 ºC. These experiments were carried out based on the standard TRC, 1984 method over 4 days, and controlled for the effective water physicochemical factors having pH rangesof 7-8.2,...

AIMS Ebstein's anomaly (EA) involves a displaced and dysplastic tricuspid valve resulting in an atrialized portion of the right ventricle and an enlargement of the functional right ventricle and right atrium. Biomarkers targeting heart failure such as brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) or haematological parameters [haemoglobin (Hb) and haematocrit (Hct)] are upregulated in states of pulmonary hypo...

Even though studies investigating the effect of road transportation on haematological parameters in goats from temperate and hot tropical environments are numerous, few studies have focused on the recovery rate following transportation, especially in the hot, humid tropical environment. This study investigated the haematological parameters and oxidative stress response of goats subjected to 7 h...

DESIGN Retrospective survey of patients treated for chronic myeloid leukaemia. SETTING Kenyatta National hospital, Nairobi, Kenya, between April 1990 and August 2000. SUBJECTS Patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia. RESUL...

Most rural and urban-based communities in Africa rely on traditional remedies for their primary healthcare. One probable reason this is the assumption that they are free of harmful side effects toxicity, compared to orthodox drugs. However, very few plants have been thoroughly evaluated toxic effects. Adansonia digitata (A. digitata) also known as (Baobab) a member Malvaceae family. Almost all ...

Background: The effects of aqueous extract of Fadogia agrestis stem at the doses of 18, 36, and 72 mg/kg body weight on alloxan-induced toxicity was investigated in Wistar rats. Methods: In total, 35 rats of both sexes (132.80±7.22g) were randomized into five groups (A-E): animals in group A received 0.5 ml of distilled water orally on daily basis for 15 days while the alloxanized rats in gr...
