Article Synopsis
- Rodents pose a significant threat to humans, prompting the need for cost-effective and eco-friendly control methods, leading to a study on the anti-rodent activity of a methanol extract from a specific fruit.
- The fruit was processed through drying and extraction, with various phytochemicals identified and quantified, while the extract's effectiveness was tested on 25 mice using specific dosages over a week, assessing both toxicity and mortality.
- The study found that the extract contained several phytochemicals and exhibited high acute toxicity, indicating its potential effectiveness in rodent control through the combined action of its phytochemical constituents.
Background: Many low- and middle-income countries lack resources for well-functioning emergency care systems. Emergency nurses interact with injured and critically ill patients as the first contact in many health care settings. However, insufficient training limits nurses from providing ideal emergency care.
