We investigated the influence of soil properties on availability or otherwise micronutrients in agricultural soils impacted by inorganic and organic manures South-South Area Nigeria. The levels pH, matter (OM), cation exchange capacity (CEC), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn) understudy were examined. measured OM, CEC, Cu, Fe, Mn Zn revealed: 6.04±0.49, 17.68±4.78 %, 7.97±0.81 C...

Aims: This study was aimed at investigating the protective potential of ethyl acetate fractions Persea americana (PA) seed and Bryophyllum pinnatum (BP) leaf binary combinations against indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers.
 Methodology: Fifty (50) male Wistar rats were used in this study; they assigned into 10 groups five animals each respective received a standard rat diet drinking water ...

Fifty one soil samples werecallected from some wadis i.e.,(El Sheikh Soliman,Sidri,El-Arishia and Bodra) of AduRudeis district, which is lies between mountain chains. These were collected to determined their physical chemical properties assess total available contents Fe, Mn, Zn Cu in a fairly intanse sampling scheme.The results indicate that the texture class varies sandy clay loam, The conten...

The aim of this prospective, uncontrolled clinical study was to evaluate the tolerability and the efficacy of levetiracetam as add-on treatment in 78 adults and 44 children with intractable epilepsy. The patients' seizure frequency in the 8 weeks baseline period was compared to their seizure frequency after a mean follow-up of 8 months of treatment.A greater than 50% reduction in seizure freque...

Chronic nicotine (NIC) pretreatment has been shown to enhance NICinduced locomotor stimulation, an effect that seems critically dependent on activation of brain dopamine (DA) systems. In the present study the effects of chronic, intermittent NIC treatment were examined in the rat to establish whether such behavioral sensitization is associated with specific, regional changes in brain dopaminerg...

BACKGROUND A retrospective study of rabbits treated against cheyletiellosis was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of selamectin or ivermectin in clinical practice. METHODS Medical records from 53 rabbits with microscopically confirmed Cheyletiella infestation were collected from two small animal clinics. The rabbits were divided into three groups, based on treatment protocols. Gro...

The study was conducted to evaluate hydraulic conductivity functions in relation to some soil chemical properties in an oxisols of the tropics. Field and laboratory studies were carried out and data collected, subjected to statistical analytical procedure for computing coefficient of variability and correlation among soil properties. Results of the study showed that hydraulic conductivity funct...

Nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated in large number of pathologies ad in normal physiological function of the brain. The aim of this study was to recognize the effect of Nitro-L-Arginine Methyl Ester mHC1 (NAME) and L-Arginine Ethyl Ester.HC1 (ARGININE) on reactivity of the central DA Dg receptor to agonist (Quinpirole) in rats. For this reason we have been used specific behavioural procedure...

A complex sensitivity of afferent nerves in the mesentery of the rat jejunum to systemic administration of histamine has recently been demonstrated. In the present study, we aimed to characterize subpopulations of mesenteric afferents that mediate this afferent nerve response. Multi-unit afferent discharge was recorded from mesenteric nerves supplying the proximal jejunum in anesthetized rats. ...

A percepção dolorosa, avaliada funcionalmente através do sistema analgésico endógeno, reflete a atividade nociceptivo, o qual depende nível de excitabilidade nervoso, portanto, procura vias e formas que reduzam deste tornou-se uma preocupação humana para assim aliviar da dor. Objetivo: Determinar limiar excitação nociceptivo em animais (camundongos) submetidos tratamento com diferentes doses cl...
