Background: Acute appendicitis is one of the main causes of abdominal pain that requires surgical treatment, it occurs at any stage of life with a lifetime risk of 7% in general population; clinical findings are usually sufficient to make diagnosis, but definitive diagnosis is made at the moment of surgery; there isn´t a reliable marker of acute apendicitis but it has been hypothesized that serum bilirrubin levels increase in complicated appendicitis cases and that it can be measured before appendectomy to predict severity levels.

Environmental degradation is a process which lowers the current and/ or the potential capability of land to produce goods or services in terms of qualitatively. Soil degradation and deterioration of the physical chemical and biological characteristic of soil is one facet of environmental degradation since soil is an integral component of environment. The rate at which environmental degradation occur differs from a climatic zone to another in terms of its causes, short and long term consequences.

The first step in drug discovery is, in many cases is to test compounds in cell culture to find out the activity in terms of pharmacological actions. In vitro cell culturebasedstudies in the non-clinical laboratory serve various functions along the path from the discovery of new molecular entities to approval and marketing of a therapeutic.

Background of the study: As the world is battling the COVID-19 pandemic, frontline health care workers (HCWs) are among the most vulnerable groups at risk of mental health problems.

Background: Healthcare burden is rising steadily globally across nations. Individuals and governments are in search of effective and affordable solutions. Evidence has shown that some seeds with food values also have medicinal potentials. Aims: A comparative analysis of the phytochemical composition of eight seeds used to control diseases in Eastern Nigeria. To support suitable choices and easy access of clinical evidence to busy healthcare professionals and decision makers. And to promote exploration of nutritional and economic values of the seeds.

Background: Healthcare burden of nations across the globe are on a steady rise, governments and individuals are seeking solutions, which are efficient and affordable and evidence shows that leaves have something to offer. Aims: A comparative analysis of the nutritional and chemical composition of seven leaves used to manage diseases in south eastern Nigeria were analyzed. The findings will help to encourage right choices and easy access of consensus evidence to healthcare professionals and decision makers. Study design: Systematic Review.

Vocational schools play a pivotal role in training skilled professionals for specific careers through two-year education programs that offer multiple semesters annually, ultimately granting associate degrees (1). Among these institutions, Health Vocational Schools specialize in diverse health-related disciplines, such as anesthesia, audiology, medical imaging, pharmacy services, and more (2). The focus of this study is the anesthesia program within the Vocational School of Health Services, a critical 2-year program ranked third in university preference for 2022 (3).

Introducción: El hábito alimenticio, es el conjunto de comportamientos repetidos que adopta un individuo a lo largo de su vida en torno a la ingesta de su comida. Objetivo: Comparar los hábitos alimenticios que practican los estudiantes universitarios de ingreso y final de Carrera.

Background: Postoperative shivering is a common and distressing complication. Although it’s a protective reflex mechanism to hypothermia, it’s also seen in normothermic patients. It is important to prevent and treat postoperative shivering as it is associated with many adverse effects. Aims: The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of prophylactic dose of 1 g paracetamol IV to prevent shivering in patients undergoing abdominal surgeries under general anaesthesia.
