Abstract

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) cannot be called a particular diseases or infection, but it could rightly be referred to as a phenomenon or syndrome that breaks through the body defense mechanism gradually which exposes the body to all kind of diseases resulting in Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). This Study focused on the prevalence of malaria and Hepatitis B surface Antigen (HBsAg) in people living with HIV. The result of the study has revealed that out of 148 HIV patients attending clinic at government house clinic Jalingo, 114 (77%) tested positive for malaria and 13 tested positive to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) with a prevalence of 8.8%. An association between HIV and occupation was evaluated, high risk occupation, based on the exposure to associated risk factor (student, civil servants and business men) accounted for high prevalence of 75.6%, while low risk occupation (housewives and farmers) accounted for 24.5%. 91(61.4%) of the patients reside in the rural areas while 57(38.5%) reside in the urban area. It was observed that male of both rural and urban area within the age group of 26-30 and 41-45 years presented a higher prevalence of 39% and 18.2% respectively while patients of both rural and urban area within the age group of 0-5 and 11-15 years accounted for a lower incidence rate with only 2.4% and 4% respectively.

Abstract

Mushrooms represent an ancient group of heterotrophic organisms classified under Thallophytae, and based on their chemical composition and utility, they are broadly categorized as edible or poisonous. Edible mushrooms can further be divided into wild and cultivated types. This study compares the amino acid profiles and proximate compositions of two edible mushrooms, tea tree mushroom (Agrocybe aegerita) and oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus), collected from Takum Local Government Area of Taraba State, Nigeria. Freshly harvested samples were air-dried for three days, pulverized, and subjected to amino acid analysis using isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and proximate analysis following standard protocols from the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC). Results showed that Agrocybe aegerita exhibited higher concentrations of amino acids compared to Pleurotus ostreatus, with a non-significant decrease (p > 0.05) observed in Pleurotus ostreatus for essential and non-essential amino acids including lysine, methionine, threonine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, valine, tryptophan, histidine, arginine, serine, cysteine, tyrosine, alanine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, and proline. Conversely, Pleurotus ostreatus demonstrated slightly higher values in proximate components such as carbohydrate, fiber, ash, and moisture, whereas Agrocybe aegerita showed higher but non-significant values in protein, fat, and energy content. The study concludes that Agrocybe aegerita is nutritionally superior in terms of amino acid composition, while Pleurotus ostreatus is marginally better in proximate nutritional content, supporting their complementary roles in dietary applications.

Abstract

Delonix regia (Flamboyant) is a multipurpose tree species indigenous to semi-arid regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. It is being exploited to local extinction due to high dependence for fuel wood and other uses. The present study explored different pre-treatment methods for enhancing seed germination and growth of Delonix regia (Flamboyant) in Taraba State, Northern Nigeria. The experiment employed a 4 × 4 factorial design with seeds subjected to four pre-treatments (50% sulphuric acid concentration, 98% sulphuric acid concentration, cold water and hot water) at four pre-treatment time durations. Number of germination and plant height varied significantly between pre-treatments with cold water treatment recording the highest plant height (3.5cm) and the 98% sulphuric acid concentration recording the least (1.3cm). Germination rate had a moderate positive relationship with plant height. The study recommends seed immersion in cold water for 48 h as the most efficient pre-treatment for Delonix regia (Flamboyant).
