Anti-NMDA encephalitis is a rare autoimmune disorder that affects the central nervous system. We report a case of a 22-year-old male patient with a history of prodromal flu-like symptoms followed by brief aggression episodes, paranoid symptoms, and stereotypic movements. Routine blood work, a brain MRI, and an EEG wer…

During an investigation of amoeba rDNA sequences, a group I intron was identified in the 18S rDNA of Thecamoeba aesculea (Amoebozoa; Discosea) at position S956. Secondary structure of Thecamoeba intron and phylogenetic analysis suggest that it is affiliated with other S956 introns occurring in distantly related amoebae…

The Measurement of Heart Rate Variability is the most accurate method for quantitative assessment of both divisions of the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic) as well as sympatho-vagal balance.…

The clamour for socio-political restructuring of Nigeria has reached its climax, hence scholars of diverse field have engaged themselves in the debate, resulting to barrage of extant literatures. The major concentration of these literatures is the socio-political and economic restructuring, which may lead to regionaliz…

Neurodevelopmental disorders are a group of pathologies with increased frequency in pediatric practice. During the last decade, genetic studies such as CGH arrays have aided in the search for genetic gains or losses that may help explain the symptoms.There are CNVs, like the 15q11.2 microdeletion between BP1 and BP2, t…

The plant genus Morus (Mulberry) has been used by humans for many centuries. All parts of the trees are used, but the fruits have the highest nutritional values. Most of the species of this genus were studied for various medicinal and biological activities, as well as many other properties, including chemical compositi…

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune condition caused by chronic inflammation of central nervous system and demyelination of neurons. At present, microRNAs (miRNAs) are recognised as a diagnostic and prognostic indicator of the diseases. But they are also a new and innovative goal in gene therapy. Therefore, the ai…

Skin is the vastest organ harboring principle functions to protect from external stimuli and internal moisture desorption. The loss of functions might bring about diseases and senescence and well maintained metabolisms are recognized as crucial points to prevent those situations. But due to complexities of skin tissues…

By reviewing the literature on the efficacy of tannins in traditional Chinese medicine in the last decade or so, we have classified the anti-tumor mechanism of tannins in conjunction with the latest mechanism exploration in the field of oncology. Tannins, a class of multi-phenolic compounds widely present in the diet, …

Eating habits and lifestyle were the areas of life most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in patients with migraine, whose triggers for their crises are related to these factors. Thus, the aim of this study was to systematically review the association between eating habits, lifestyle and migraine attacks du…

The liver is an important metabolic organ consisting of four different sized lobes in our bodies. The important function of liver includes the elimination of toxic material, detoxication and regulation of the blood, blood clotting, and manufacture of vital hormones. It also plays a crucial role in other activities, suc…

The impact of lighting in buildings on managing behavioural and psychological symptoms, particularly in older adults, is significant as it affects visual and circadian systems. With age-related changes in eyes and circadian system, specialized lighting design is crucial to promote mood and overall well-being in older p…

Last year in Brazil, lung cancer was the third most common tumor in men and the fourth in women, without counting non-melanoma skin cancer. It is the first in the world in incidence among men and the third among women. When we talk about mortality, it is the first among the male audience and the second among the female…

The Cannabidiol (CBD) are extensively used owing to their potent antibacterial effects. We developed CBD-loaded poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles using an emulsion process technology, resulting informing the PLGA@CBD nanoparticles. The emulsion parameters were optimized using three-dimensional surface…

European Otter (Lutra lutra), is an aquatic and semi-aquatic animal from the carnivores and sub-family from Lutrinae of the Mustelidea family that lives alongside rivers and wetlands. Lutra lutra is an indicator species, and its loss somehow threatens human life, because one species is the head of the food chain and it…
