Dermatophytic fungi and other non-dermatophytic fungi are the most common causes of superficial infections. The current research focuses on dermatophytes and non-dermatophytes isolated from superficial mycoses and their recognition. One hundred and fifty (150) clinical specimens were examined with potassium hydroxide (KOH) before being cultured on SDA media. Dermatophytes are classified using macroscopic and microscopic…

The bioactive metabolite of the branched-chain amino acid leucine, -hydroxy-methylbutyrate (HMB), is a common dietary supplement among athletes who engage in daily resistance training for muscle gain and strength. HMB, on the other hand, has gotten less publicity for its effects on inflammation, oxidative stress (OS), and cardiovascular risk factors after resistance exercise. As a…

Okpoka Creek in the Niger Delta’s Upper Bonny Estuary is a tidal creek that receives organic anthropogenic effluents from its surroundings. The study looked into the impact of low and high tides on phytoplankton species structure, diversity, abundance, and distribution. From May 2004 to April 2006, surface water and phytoplankton samples were collected monthly from…

The aim of this research is to determine the diversity of Acanthaceae species in Ivory Coast, as well as the effect of climate change on their distribution. Variations in climatic variables including precipitation and temperature are likely to have an effect on biodiversity and the spatial distribution of species-friendly ecosystems. The habitats of Dicliptera alternans…

The virtually universal neglect of what is arguably the most strategically placed structure in the central nervous system (CNS), an elusive, thread-like accumulation of glycoproteins originating from the centre of the brain called Reissner’s fibre, is one of the most amazing ongoing stories in the history of neuroscience (RF). It is an anomaly that has…
