| Authors | : | Mehnoor Farheen || Chakrapani Rmesh |
Abstract: Type 1diabetes is associated with damage to the liver, kidney and pancreas of patients. The damage varies in proportion and susceptibility among diabetic patients of type 1 class. This study assessed the hypoglycaemic and antihyperlipidemic activities of whole ethanolic leaf extract of Pedilanthus tithymaloides in alloxan-induced diabetic albino Wistar rats. Extraction of the ethanolic extract of Pedilanthus tithymaloides was performed by maceration. Thirty rats were divided into five groups. Group I consists of normal rats that were given only normal saline solution and served as a control group. Group II consists of normal rats that were given alloxan monohydrate (150mg/kg B.W)..

| Title | : | Socio-Economic and Agricultural Factor In Control of Trypanosomiasis in Nigeria A Review |
| Country | : | Nigeria |
| Authors | : | A. Abubakar || H.A Ibrahim || M. Abdullahi || H. M Sabo || I. L Haruna || L.Umar |
Abstract: Trypanosomiasis is a widespread disease in the middle belt states and southern part of Nigeria. Socio-economic activities such as herding, fishing, crop-rotation, collection of fire wood predisposed inhabitant to the disease. A good knowledge and understanding of tsetse dynamics, its habitats, routes of infection parasite life cycle, and available control methods forms an important background in decision making processes within the community and government agencies for successful tsetse and trypanosomiasis control. Biological control using sterile insect technique (SIT), chemotheraphy using trypanocidal drugs, vector control methods through ground and aerial spraying of insecticides, used of trypanotolerant livestock and cultural methods which include shifting cultivation and bush fallow.

| Title | : | Comparative Larvicidal and Residual Activity of Bacillus Thuringiensisvar. Israelensisand Temephos (1.0 % Sg) In Granules Against Culex Pipiens Pallens (Diptera: Culicidae) In Semi-Field Tests |
| Country | : | Kenya |
| Authors | : | Martha W. Kiarie-Makara || Dong-Kyu Lee |
Abstract: The study looked at comparative larvicidal activity and residual effects of granular formulations of Bacillusthuringiensis var. Israelensis (Bti); a bio pesticide and temephos (Abate); phosphorus based non-systemic pesticide. The study was carried out in semi-field station and used rainwater to simulate natural conditions. Mosquitoes of; Culexpipienspallens Coquillett; a member of the Culex pipiens complex were used. The third instar larvae were used to allow observations before pupation and adult emergence. The methods used were a modification of those used by Thavara et al [24] and Laws et al [20]. Abate applied at concentrations;1.0mg/l, 2.0mg/l and 4.0mg/l of 1% SG showed that the residual activity of abate is dependent on the concentration used in the treatment. Bti was applied at 0.4g/l, 0.8g/l and 1.6g/l.

| Title | : | Retrograde Cystourethrogram Findings in Patients with Suspected Uretharal Strictures In Yenagoa, Nigeria |
| Country | : | Nigeria |

Abstract: A retrograde cystourethrogram (RCUG) in conjunction with a voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) or intravenous urethrogram (IVU) serve as the gold standard for the diagnosis of a urethral stricture. In this study, we reviewed the findings in 25 patiets who had RCUG done for suspected urethral strictures. The mean age of the patients in this study was 51.44 ±17.67 and bulbomembranous junction stricture was the commonest pathology noted.
