A rare case of Gardner syndrome in an African adult male: A case report.

Gardner's syndrome with the complete manifestation of colonic and extracolonic features is uncommon. Therefore, every clinician should view extracolonic features with a high index of suspicion. This may be key to early diagnosis, definitive management in these patients and importantly, helps prevent malignant transformation of existing colonic polyps.

Unlocking the potential of novel RTS, S/AS01, and R21/Matrix-M™ malaria vaccines in African nations.

Introduction: Mass malaria vaccination, rather than vaccinating only children below age 5, has been proven to have the potential to reduce morbidity and mortality among those vaccinated, both young and old. Addressing vaccine scepticism and misinformation is crucial in African nations to build public trust in malaria prevention. Therefore, including a wider range of demographics in vaccine trials is necessary for equitable representation and achieving herd immunity against malaria.

Zirconium ferrite incorporated zeolitic imidazolate framework-8: a suitable photocatalyst for degradation of dopamine and sulfamethoxazole in aqueous solution.

The complete removal of pharmaceutical wastes from polluted water systems is a global challenge. Therefore, this study incorporates zirconium ferrite (ZrFeO) into zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) to form ZrFeO@ZIF-8. The ZrFeO@ZIF-8 is a photocatalyst for removing dopamine (DOP) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) from an aqueous solution.

Synthesis of neodymium ferrite incorporated graphitic carbonitride (NdFeO@g-CN) and its application in the photodegradation of ciprofloxacin and ampicillin in a water system.

Purification of antibiotic-contaminated drinking water sources is faced with limitations. Therefore, this study incorporated neodymium ferrite (NdFeO) in graphitic carbonitride (g-CN) to form NdFeO@g-CN as a photocatalyst for removing ciprofloxacin (CIP) and ampicillin (AMP) from aqueous systems. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed a crystallite size of 25.

Urethral steinstrasse: Day case care.

Urethral steinstrasse is rare. Only a few cases of spontaneous or postinterventional urethral steinstrasse have been reported in pediatric and adult patients. We report a case of a 52-year-old Nigerian man with a secondary urethral steinstrasse, and the treatment options possible, as day case procedures, under caudal anesthesia.

DNA barcoding of economically important freshwater fish species from north-central Nigeria uncovers cryptic diversity.

This study examines the utility of morphology and DNA barcoding in species identification of freshwater fishes from north-central Nigeria. We compared molecular data (mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I () sequences) of 136 de novo samples from 53 morphologically identified species alongside others in GenBank and BOLD databases. Using DNA sequence similarity-based (≥97% cutoff) identification technique, 50 (94.

Effect of freeze-thaw cycles on the nutritional quality of some selected Nigerian soups.

Freezing and thawing are heat transfer processes, involving chemical changes which may greatly affect product quality. Due to sparse literature on freeze-thawed cycles and its effects on soups quality, the effect of freeze-thaw cycles on the nutritional quality of selected Nigerian soups has to be investigated. Soups (Ila, Ewedu, Ogbono, and Kuka) were prepared using standard recipes.

The incidence and distribution of Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat vegetables in South-Western Nigeria.

The study investigated the incidence of Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat (RTE) vegetables: (Cucumber, Cucumis sativas; Cabbage, Brassica olerecea; Carrot, Daucus carota; Tomato, Solanum lycopersicum; Lettuce, Lactuca sativa) in six states in South-Western Nigeria. A total of 555 composite samples were collected from 30 traditional markets within the states and only 244 L. monocytogenes species were isolated by standard methods.
