OBJECTIVE This study aims to assess the Pap smear screening method’s accuracy in detecting precancerous lesions. METHODOLOGY After fulfilling inclusion criteria patients were selected, patient’s bladder was emptied and put a dorsal position, Cusco’s speculum introduced after lubrication followed by insertion of Ayer’s spatula, applied on transformational zone, rotated 360 degrees. Specimen smea...

Background: Diarrheal infections are one of the leading causes sickness and death all over world. It is second-most common cause under-five mortality, accounting for half a million deaths annually. In Abeokuta, etiology diarrheagenic bacteria viruses has not been well studied.
 Objective: To determine prevalence Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli Rotavirus Antigen among Diarrheic Children a...

Abstract Dental radiography is an important diagnostic tool for the detection and assessment of extent dental caries accurate treatment planning. There no safe limit X-ray exposure. The associated risks exposure are higher in children due to a rate cell proliferation them, compared with adults. This study aimed assess genotoxic cytotoxic effects radiographic modalities on buccal mucosal cells c...

Abstract The female of the biting midge Forcipomyia paludis is a dipteran ectoparasite West Palaearctic damselflies and dragonflies, sucking haemolymph mainly from wing veins their hosts. This tiny remains firmly attached to wings even during fast flight aerial fight maneuvers as shown in present paper by field studies large dragonfly, Cordulegaster boltonii . Since individuals F. attach themse...

The alligator gar (Atractosteus spatula) is the largest freshwater fish inhabiting rivers draining into the Gulf of Mexico. This primitive fish shows a fast growth rate since its early larval stages. This is attributed to the action of growth hormone (GH), an anterior pituitary gland hormone responsible for linear growth in vertebrates that can also be expressed in extrapituitary adult tissues ...

A key innovation of flowering plants is the female reproductive organ, the carpel. Here, we show that a mechanism that regulates carpel margin development in the model flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana was recruited from light-regulated processes. This recruitment followed the loss from the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor SPATULA (SPT) of a domain previously responsible for its n...

Background and aim: Increased rate of micronucleus in buccal mucosa cells and its correlation with carcinogenesis is worth consideration. Recently, occupation in dental laboratories has been proposed as a predisposing factor. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of occupational exposure on buccal mucosa cells of dental laboratory technicians. Materials and methods: This ...


 The birds and chewing lice relationship depends on environmental conditions that cause morbidity by feeding feathers, irritating them, hence affecting their economic importance. In the present work, statistical taxonomical analysis of was done using population distribution, prevalence host-parasite interaction. (Phthiraptera) were planned to study burden infestation rate in ducks geese l...
