Article Synopsis
- Understanding plant growth is crucial, especially with restrictions like COVID-19 hindering field studies, making modeling a valuable tool for predicting plant performance in limited conditions.
- The study focused on rubber plants grown in two types of acidic soils treated with different magnesium sources, assessing their growth through metrics like height, stem diameter, and biomass, using specific mathematical models to analyze growth rates.
- Results indicated that magnesium-rich synthetic gypsum (MRSG) significantly enhanced rubber seedling growth compared to other treatments, especially in Ultisol soil, suggesting MRSG could effectively replace traditional magnesium fertilizers for sustainable growth.
Background: Gender imbalance and poor representation of women complicate the anesthesiology workforce crisis in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This study was performed to obtain a better understanding of gender disparity among medical graduates and anesthesiologists in SSA.
Methods: Using a quantitative, participatory, insider research study, led by female anesthesiologists as the national coordinators in SSA, we collected data from academic or national health authorities and agencies.
Background: Isoflurane and propofol are routinely used for the maintenance of general anaesthesia. However, recently, they have been implicated in hepatotoxicity resulting in acute liver failure.
Objective: We compared the effects of isoflurane and propofol on liver enzymes; aspartate transaminases (AST), alanine transaminases (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and total bilirubin (Tbil) following general anaesthesia.
Background Knee arthroplasty is one of the most common reasons for hospitalizations in the United States. Diabetes mellitus is thought to be associated with adverse perioperative outcomes. We sought to demonstrate the effect of comorbid diabetes on hospitalizations involving patients with knee osteoarthritis who had knee arthroplasty.

January 2016
Background: Informed consent is an integral part of a surgical and anaesthetic procedure, failure to obtain it may result in grave medico-legal implications.
Aim: To determine the attitudes of Nigerian anaesthetists to informed consent.
Methodology: The study population included physician anaesthetists who attended a continuous medical education programme in November 2015.
