Acute gastroenteritis and the usage pattern of antibiotics and traditional herbal medications for its management in a Nigerian community.

Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is the highest cause of mortality worldwide in children under the age of 5 years, with the highest mortalities occurring in low-to-middle income countries. Treatment can involve use of unregulated herbal medication and antibiotics. A cross sectional study was carried out to investigate the use of antibiotics and traditional herbal medications in the management of AGE among Yòrùbá-speaking communities in Kwara State, Nigeria.

Membraneless electrolyzers for the simultaneous production of acid and base.

This study investigates the use of membraneless electrolyzers based on angled mesh flow-through electrodes for the simultaneous production of acid and base (lye) from aqueous brine solutions. These electrolyte-agnostic flow cells are capable of producing a wide variety of acids and bases with precisely controlled pH using a simple cell design.
