Abstract: Since 2015, Côte d’Ivoire has been the world’s largest cashew producer. However, cashew orchards in Côte d’Ivoire are infected by fungal diseases that weaken production. And the contribution of weeds to the spread of these diseases is not yet understood. This study was initiated with the aim of establishing the role of weeds in the proliferation of pathogenic fungi in orchards. It consisted of a survey of weeds showing disease symptoms in cashew orchards in Côte d’Ivoire from February 2021 to July 2022. The itinerant method was used for the weed inventory. Symptomatic leaves were collected and sent to the laboratory for diagnosis on PDA (Potatoes Dextrose Agar) medium. In total, 50 species in 46 genera and 23 families were recorded. Laboratory diagnosis of the samples showed that 80% of the weeds identified harboured pathogenic fungi. The highest infection rates were obtained on Danielia oliveri R. (99.33% to 100%), Vitellaria paradoxa G. (100%), Pterocarpus erinaceus P. (83.91% to 99.33%), Micuna pruriens L. (98.33% to 100%) and Isoberlinia doka C. et S. (56.33% to 100%). The diagnosis revealed the presence of Lasiodiplodia sp, Colletotrichum sp, Pestalotia sp, Alternaria sp and Curvularia sp on weeds in the cashew orchard in Côte d’Ivoire.

Abstract: Imatinib mesylate, showed encouraging activity in chronic myelogenous leukemia. However, there are few data regarding his efficacy and response monitoring in Sub-Saharan African patients. Our objective was to assess response to imatinib mesylate (Glivec) in C？te d’Ivoire patients with newly diagnosed Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML). From May 2005 to September 2009, we treated 42 patients (40 years; range 16–69) with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph+) positive in chronic phase CML with oral imatinib mesylate at daily doses of 400 mg. Overall survival (OS) and frequency of complete or major cytogenetic remission (CCR/MCR) were evaluated. At a median follow up of 32 (range 7.6–113) months, the CHR rate in our study group was 76%. A major CR was found in 19 patients (45%) with 17% and 29% complete and partial CR respectively. There were no significant differences in the incidence of major cytogenetic response by known prognostics factors. Median time to CHR was 8 months (range 0.4–25), and 16 months (range: 0.1–36) for CR. Projected 5-year OS rate was 72% (95%CI 42–88). We conclude that imatinib therapy sub-Saharan African CML patients is very promising and has favorably changed the prognosis for black African patients with CML. 1. Introduction Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal myeloproliferative disorder of a pluripotent stem cell1 first described by John Hughes Bennett in 1845. It was the first malignancy that had a specific chromosomal abnormality uniquely linked to it after the discovery of a minute chromosome now known as the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome, later defined to result from a t(9;22) reciprocal chromosomal translocation [1]. Of critical importance was the demonstration that this translocation involved the ABL1 (Abelson) proto-oncogene in chromosome 9 and the BCR (breakpoint cluster region) gene in chromosome 22 [2]. Clinically, CML progresses through three distinct phases: a chronic phase that is easily controlled by conventional chemotherapy followed by an ill-defined unstable accelerated phase, leading to a terminal blastic phase. The latter phase resembles acute leukemia and is highly refractory to chemotherapy with under 20% response rate and a median survival of 3–6 months [3]. Since then, a constant stream of clinical and basic advances has made CML one of the most extensively studied human malignancies. Imatinib mesylate (STI571, Gleevec; Novartis Pharmaceuticals, East Hanover, NJ) is a selective Bcr-Abl protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor against c-abl, bcr/abl, c-kit, and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGF-R).

Abstract: Background: Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is the first-line investigation among infertile women in Cameroon. There is a dearth of studies on the use of HSG in Cameroon. The aim of this study was threefold: 1) to describe the indications; 2) findings of hysterosalpingography and 3) factors associated with abnormal findings on HSG at the Douala General Hospital, Cameroon. Methods: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study of 242 files of patients who underwent hysterosalpingography at the Radiology Department of the Douala General Hospital from January 2012 to December 2016. We collected data on the sociodemographic, obstetric variables and indications of HSG using a pretested data collection form. We also interpreted HSG films during the study period. Data analysis was with EPI-INFO version 7. Results: The age range was 19 - 46 years with a mean age of 33.16 ± 5.45 years. Majority 138/242 (57.1%) were in the age group 30 - 40 years. The main indication of HSG was infertility 87.2% (211/242). Most of the cases 95.87% (232/242) had abnormal findings at HSG. Tubal and uterine abnormal findings made up 133/232 (57.3%), and 97/232 (41.81%) of cases, respectively. Tubal occlusion and hydrosalpinges were found in 99/232 (42.67%) and 19/232 (8.19%) while uterine fibroids and uterine synechiae were found in 57/232 (24.97%) and 30/232 (12.93%), respectively. The factors independently associated with abnormal findings at HSG were: a history of recurrent pregnancy loss (AOR 2.95; 95% CI: 1.19 - 7.32, p = 0.02) and infertility (AOR 0.24; 95% CI: 0.06 - 0.92, p = 0.038). Conclusions: Infertility constituted the main indication, with tubal occlusion resurging as the most common abnormal finding on hysterosalpingography in this study. A history of recurrent pregnancy loss and infertility were factors independently associated with abnormal findings on hysterosalpingography. Therefore, HSG should be associated with hysteroscopy for uterine pathology and laparoscopy or selective salpingography to decrease the false-positive results of tubal patency in infertile women in Cameroon.

Abstract: The study investigates water service provision in Owerri-a Nigerian city. For the study both primary and secondary data were obtained and analysed. Secondary data were obtained from Imo State Water Corporation (ISWC) and the Works Department of Owerri Municipal Council. While, primary data were obtained from all the 17 wards that constitute Owerri city, i.e. the municipal area. Key informants were identified and interviewed using a structured interview schedule. The analysis of variance employed showed that there are significant differences in the water service provision pattern in the seventeen wards in Owerri city. The study found that though most residents of Owerri city rely heavily on commercial borehole owners and water tanker drivers/water peddlers for their daily supplies, the government through its SWA is in control, and there is an absence of a popularly acceptable regulatory framework/water policy. It recommends that Water decree 101 from 1993 (water legislation) be reviewed to address growing challenges. In order to enhance regular water supply at less cost, the study recommends that government should collaborate with the private sector and other community based organizations in a tripartite partnership. A new regulatory framework that will carry out government ownership and control of water resources and participatory aspects of water management should be produced by ISWC.

Abstract: The ageing population is more predisposed to chronic diseases and functional disabilities with an increased level of dependence. The delivery of adequate health care services to the ageing population requires enquires into their quality of life. This cross-sectional study therefore investigated the relationship between some selected risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and the quality of life of aging adults. Using a convenient sampling technique, one hundred and forty six (146) adults of ages 50 years and above from varying locations within the Metropolis of Enugu State, Nigeria were recruited. The parameters obtained were participants’ blood pressure, height, body weight, waist circumference and blood sugar level. Health-related quality of life was assessed using the WHO-QOL BREF and physical activity level was assessed with the IPAQ. Data were summarized using descriptive statistics of frequency and percentage while the statistical measures of relationship (Pearson’s moment correlation and spearman rho correlation) were used to calculate the relationship between obtained data. The result revealed a positive relationship between waist circumference (obesity indicator) and the environment domain of quality of life measure (r = 0.227, p = 0.006). Surprisingly, no relationship was found between obesity indicators (waist circumference and BMI) and physical/psychological health status. The result also found a positive relationship between physical activity levels and quality of life; a weak negative relationship between casual blood sugar levels and the social relationship domains of quality of life and a weak negative relationship was also observed between age and physical activity and psychological health. Therefore, reduced physical activity level influences a poor quality of life. We recommend physical activity participation among the older population, as well as detailed similar studies for higher degree of certainty.

Abstract: Textural characterization and heavy mineral studies of beach sediments in Ibeno and Eastern Obolo Local Government Areas of Akwa Ibom State were carried out in the present study. The main aim was to infer their provenance, transport history and environment of deposition. Sediment samples were collected at the water–sediment contact along the shoreline at an interval of about 3m. Ten samples were collected from study location 1 (Ibeno Beach) and twelve samples were collected from study location 2 (Eastern Obolo Beach). A total of twenty–two samples were collected from the field and brought to the laboratory for textural and compositional analyses. The results showed that the value of graphic mean size ranged from 1.70Ф to 2.83Ф, sorting values ranged from 0.39Ф – 0.60Ф, skewness values ranged from -0.02 to 0.10 while kurtosis values ranged from 1.02 to 2.46, indicating medium to fine grained and well sorted sediments. This suggested that the sediments have been transported far from their source. Longshore current and onshore–offshore movements of sediment are primarily responsible in sorting of the heavy minerals. The histogram charts for the different samples and standard deviation versus skewness indicated a beach environment of deposition. This implies that the sediments are dominated by one class of grain size; a phenomenon characteristic of beach environments. The heavy mineral assemblages identified in this research work were rutile, zircon, tourmaline, hornblende, apatite, diopside, glauconite, pumpellyite, cassiterite, epidote, garnet, augite, enstatite, andalusite and opaque minerals. The zircon-tourmaline-rutile (ZTR) index ranged from 47.30% to 87.00% with most of the samples showing a ZTR index greater than 50%. These indicated that the sediments were mineralogically sub-mature and have been transported far from their source. The heavy minerals identified are indicative of being products of reworked sediments of both metamorphic (high rank) and igneous (both mafic and sialic) origin probably derived from the basement rocks of the Oban Massif as well as reworked sediments of the Benue Trough. Therefore, findings from the present study indicated that erosion, accretion, and stability of beaches are controlled by strong hydrodynamic and hydraulic processes

Research Journal of Environmental and Earth Sciences , 2011,
Abstract: People of low-income in Nigerian towns/cities rely on the informal sector for survival because the sector provides ample opportunities to support their livelihood. W hether analysts are considering specific aspects of the urban informal sector in Nigeria or the role of that sector in general, it is important to understand how the sector develops and changes over time, and how it interacts w ith, and affects the environment. W e already know in a general way the many problems associated with wastes generated from urban informal economic activities; but, there are only few well documented case studies of environmental degradation associated with informal sector activities. This study draws attention to some neglected aspects of informal sector research, especially one which relates to the environment, an area which should be further investigated by researchers undertaking field research on the informal sector in N igeria . By focusing on specific sub-sectors of the informal sector, and how they affect the environment, we will be in a better position to formulate new policies that will aid environmental management and sustainability in Nigerian towns.

Abstract: Consumption of ice cream produced from dairy products has been reportedly associated with health hazards. To circumvent this, this study was undertaken to formulate plant-based ice cream using kunu-zaki and soymilk (as substitutes for dairy milk) fortified with mango, banana and avocado. Standard method for the preparation of ice cream was modified to formulate three variants of kunu-zaki ice cream designated as B (40% kunu-zaki, 40% banana pulp and 20% soymilk); C (40% kunu-zaki, 40% mango pulp and 20% soymilk); D (40% kunu-zaki, 40% avocado pulp and 20% soymilk), while control sample A was commercial dairy-based ice cream. Analyses of proximate, mineral and vitamin compositions were carried out on the samples following standard procedures. The results showed lower fat content in all the formulated ice cream samples, which ranged from 0.60 - 0.96 g/100g compared to the control sample with fat
