Utilizing mechatronic agilent gas chromatography to validate therapeutic efficacy of against oxidative stress and inflammation.

The quest for novel antioxidant and anti-inflammatory medications from medicinal plants is crucial since the plants contain bioactive compounds with a better efficacy and safety profile than orthodox therapy. This study harnesses the capabilities of mechatronics-driven Agilent Gas Chromatography, deploying , and in silico models to unravel the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory attributes within ethanol extract (CPEE). Employing gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS), our analysis efficiently segregates and evaluates volatile compound mixtures, a technique renowned for identifying organic compounds, as exemplified by its success in detecting fatty acids in food and resin acids in water.

Biodiesel production from agricultural biomass wastes: Duroc breed fat oil, rind, and Sorghum Bagasse.

This research study synthesized a base catalyst from the waste rind (WCLR) for the synthesis of biodiesel from the waste pig fat oil. The high-acid-value oil (high free fatty acid: FFA) was converted to low-acid-value oil through adsorption in sorghum bagasse ash with high particle sizes. The developed base catalyst was obtained from the WCLR and was characterized via thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD-FT), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) adsorption analysis.

Probing the Therapeutic Efficacy of Extract and GC-FID-Identified Phytochemicals as Novel Agents for Diabetes Mellitus.

Objectives: Oxidative stress is implicated in several metabolic cascades involved in glucose control. Hence, investigating antioxidant and antidiabetic activities is crucial for discovering an effective diabetes mellitus (DM) agent. This study was aimed at probing the therapeutic efficacy of hydro-ethanolic extract of (HECP) and gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID)-identified phytochemicals as novel agents for DM.

Perceptions of organizational value and unethical/deviant behaviors among lecturers in Archeology and Religion and Cultural Studies: An intervention study.

Background: Understanding an organization's ethical standards assists employees in abiding by stipulated rules and regulations and reduces the prevalent rate of inappropriate behaviors. Unfortunately, some workers do not know and as a result, they become dysfunctional, affecting their professional identities. Given this, scholars have called for psychoeducational strategies that coach workers to improve their perceptions.

Immunomodulatory effects of epiphytic Loranthus micranthus leaf extracts collected from two host plants: Psidium guajava and Parkia biglobosa.

Background: Immunological abnormalities are implicated in the pathogenesis of many chronic diseases. Due to the drug-related adverse effects of currently available orthodox immunomodulators, natural immunomodulators are being looked upon as potential agents to replace them in therapeutic regimens. This research aimed to investigate the immunomodulatory potential of L.

Changes in nutritional, health benefits, and pharmaceutical potential of raw and roasted tropical almond (Terminalia catappa Linn.) nuts from Nigeria.

Tropical almond (Terminalia catappa Linn.) is highly distributed within the tropics, but appears rather underutilized in developing countries like Nigeria. Specifically, relevant information regards the nutritional, health benefits, and pharmaceutical potential of roasted T.

Health-promoting properties of bioactive proteins and peptides of garlic (Allium sativum).

Garlic is a popular food spice with diverse and well-established medicinal properties. Many research interests have been directed toward the biological activities of the phytochemical constituents of garlic. However, prospects of its bioactive proteins and peptides have been understudied to date.

Utilization of eye care services in an underserved community in Enugu State, Nigeria.

Background And Aim: To determine the utilization of eye care services in an underserved community in Enugu State, Nigeria.

Materials And Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among adults aged 18 years and older. A structured questionnaire was used to collect information on the utilization of eye care services within the last two years.

Phytochemical Characterization, Functional Nutrition, and Anti-Diabetic Potentials of (pers) Decne Leaves: In Silico and In Vitro Studies.

The geometrical increase in diabetes mellitus (DM) and the undesirable side effects of synthetic drugs have intensified efforts to search for an effective and safe anti-diabetic therapy. This study aimed to identify the antioxidant and anti-diabetic agents in the ethanol extract of (EELH). The phytochemicals, antioxidant vitamins, and minerals present in EELH were determined using standard procedures to achieve this aim.

A Computational Approach to Elucidate the Interactions of Chemicals From Targeted Toward SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease Inhibition for COVID-19 Treatment.

The inhibitory potential of , a well-known antimalarial herb, against several viruses, including the coronavirus, is increasingly gaining recognition. The plant extract has shown significant activity against both the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and the novel SARS-CoV-2 that is currently ravaging the world. It is therefore necessary to evaluate individual chemicals of the plant for inhibitory potential against SARS-CoV-2 for the purpose of designing drugs for the treatment of COVID-19.

Effect of peer tutoring on social adjustment among English learners with hearing impairments in special primary schools.

Background/objective: Different studies have shown the prevalence of high level of social adjustment among English learners with hearing impairment. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of peer tutoring as a social adjustment intervention among English learners with hearing impairment in special primary schools in Enugu State, Nigeria.

Method: The area of the study was Enugu State.

Mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets of hyperinflammatory responses in SARS-CoV-2.

Coronavirus infection is now the leading cause of death globally. Despite the several bedsides- to- bench investigations carried out by researchers all over the world to identify the best prophylactic and therapeutic options for this deadly virus, no novel vaccine or treatment drug has been developed. Accumulating evidence suggests that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is associated with hyper inflammation characterized by excessive release of pro-inflammatory cytokines known as a cytokine storm.

Effects of a rational-emotive health education intervention on stress management and irrational beliefs among technical college teachers in Southeast Nigeria.
