Dataset on rbcL-based intra-specific diversity and population structure of (Jacq.) in Nigeria.

African locust bean () is a multipurpose leguminous tree species of nutritional and pharmacological value. The plant is widely distributed in Africa and across Nigeria's major agroecological areas (AEAs). Amidst declining cultivation and production, is genetically threatened in its natural habitats due to overexploitation, deforestation, wildfires and lack of improved tree management practices.

Assessment of heavy metal bioremediation potential of bacterial isolates from landfill soils.

Indiscriminate disposal of wastes on landfills has led to increase in heavy metal contamination in landfill soils. However, the ability of the indigenous microorganisms to remediate the polluted environment can be of great influence in reclamation of such soils. The objectives of this study were to assess the bioremediation potential of the screened indigenous bacteria and evaluate the effects of carbon source and pH in the enhancement of the bioremediation process Bacterial isolates from landfill sites were screened for their capability to utilize heavy metal (Cd and Pb).

Significance of African Diets in Biotherapeutic Modulation of the Gut Microbiome.

Diet plays an essential role in human development and growth, contributing to health and well-being. The socio-economic values, cultural perspectives, and dietary formulation in sub-Saharan Africa can influence gut health and disease prevention. The vast microbial ecosystems in the human gut frequently interrelate to maintain a healthy, well-coordinated cellular and humoral immune signalling to prevent metabolic dysfunction, pathogen dominance, and induction of systemic diseases.

Facial approximation: evaluation of dental and facial proportions with height.

Background: Fabrication of complete dentures requires the use of certain guidelines which are placed on the bite blocks to assist the clinician to have the maxillary anterior teeth restored to optimal dento-labial relations, in harmony with the overall facial appearance.

Objective: To explore if any relationship exists between dental and facial proportions as well as the height of the individuals.

Methods: Two hundred and four dental students of the Obafemi Awolowo University volunteered to participated in the study.

Awareness of warning signs among suburban Nigerians at high risk for stroke is poor: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Although stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Nigeria, there is no information on awareness of its warning signs. This study was designed to assess awareness of stroke warning signs in Nigerians at increased risk.

Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study conducted at Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, in southern Nigeria.
