Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the toxic effects of glyphosate-based herbicides on aquatic animals, focusing on haematological and biochemical impacts after exposing fish to different herbicide concentrations.
- - Seventy-five adult fish were acclimatised, then divided into control and treatment groups, with varying glyphosate concentrations administered over a 96-hour period for blood analysis.
- - Results indicated complex changes in blood parameters, with some showing initial increases but ultimately decreasing with higher glyphosate levels, and only the platelet values showed statistically significant effects.
The current work investigated emerging fields for generating and consuming hydrogen and synthetic Fischer-Tropsch (FT) fuels, especially from detrimental greenhouse gases, CO and CH. Technologies for syngas generation ranging from partial oxidation, auto-thermal, dry, photothermal and wet or steam reforming of methane were adequately reviewed alongside biomass valorisation for hydrogen generation, water electrolysis and climate challenges due to methane flaring, production, storage, transportation, challenges and opportunities in CO and CH utilisation. Under the same conditions, dry reforming produces more coke than steam reforming.

Tele-neurology has the potential to provide remote consultations and care for patients with neurological conditions, thereby reducing the burden of travel and improving access to medical care. Despite its growing popularity, there is a lack of research on patient's views on this mode of care delivery in Nigeria.

Most studies on the subject are urban based and among adults. This study was conducted to assess the perception, prevalence and perpetrators among in-school adolescents which represent a unique group and in a rural setting.
