Abstract

The medical term used for blood pressure is Hypertension (HTN). Hypertension is a common problem faced by most people today. The leading danger for many diseases such as CVD (cardiovascular) disorder and stroke is high blood pressure. Major diseases like CHF (congestive heart failure), renal disease and blindness can also be caused by HTN. Awareness of plant-based medication therapeutics is continuously increasing day by day. Morinda citrifolia L (Noni) has been used in folk remedies by Polynesians for over 2000 years, and is reported to have a broad range of therapeutic effects. The purpose of this study is to investigate the hypotensive potential of Morinda citrifolia L (Noni) (Family: Rubiaceae) in both normotensive and hypertensive rats. Methods: Aqueous-methanol (70:30) extract of Morinda citrifolia L stem-bark extract at doses of 25, 50, 75 and 100 mg/kg was evaluated for its effect on blood pressure and heart rate using non-invasive blood pressure measuring apparatus. After initial screening, 100 mg/kg dose that produced a maximum effect was selected for the antihypertensive study. Median lethal dose (LD50) and sub-chronic toxicity of the extract were also determined. Various biochemical parameters and organ weight were measured using standard procedures. Results: The extract produced a significant (p < 0.01) decrease in systolic blood pressure (SBP), mean blood pressure (MBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart rate of normotensive rats at all test doses with maximum effect at 100 mg/kg. Similarly, a significant antihypertensive and negative chronotropic effect was observed in both hypertensive models. LD50 of the extract was 200 mg/kg in mice. The extract also exhibited a reduction (p < 0.05) in serum alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels while a significant (p < 0.05) increase in high density lipoproteins (HDL) level was observed. Conclusion: It seems that the aqueous-methanol stem-bark extract of Morinda citrifolia L possesses active compounds which may be responsible for the antihypertensive and negative chronotropic effects in rats.

Abstract

Achyranthes aspera (Amaranthaceae) is an important medicinal herb found as a weed throughout Nigeria. Though almost all of its parts are used in traditional systems of medicines, leaves, seeds, roots and shoots are the most important parts which are used medicinally. The present article gives an account of updated information on its phytochemical and pharmacological properties. The Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is still contributing significantly in morbidities and mortalities in the world today. The drugs normally used to treat the infection are costly, toxic, and less effective due to resistance by HIV. Thus, the assessment of gp120-CD4 binding inhibition potential of Achyranthes aspera leaves extract was conducted using gp120-CD4 capture ELISA kits. Aqueous, methanol, and petroleum ether extracts were prepared at 1000, 500 and 250 μg/ml and tested for gp120-CD4 binding inhibition. Sub-cute toxicity assay was done using albino rats; Biochemical parameters including alanine amino transferase (ALT), aspartate amino transferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) as well as bilirubin for liver and urea, electrolytes and creatinine for kidney functions were evaluated. The results of the effect of crude aqueous, methanol and petroleum ether Achyranthes aspera leaves extract against gp120-CD4 showed inhibition ranging from 1.4 – 17.2 %. with 1000 μg/ml showing highest percentage of inhibition. There was no significant difference (P = 0.862) in terms of percentage inhibition between the three concentrations tested. Methanol extract demonstrated the highest percentage inhibition of gp120-CD4 bindings (17.2 %). No significant difference (P = 0.124) between the three extracts against gp-120-CD4 bindings was observed. The results of the sub-acute toxicity study have shown that, there were no physical changes in animals treated with 500 mg/kg of all the extracts. The result of liver function test revealed that, ALT, AST and ALP were within the normal range (12U/L) for both the high and low concentrations of the extracts including the control. Also result for total protein, albumin, globulin for the test albino rats and that of the control rat were found to be within the normal range 5.1-6.1, 4.2-5.3, and 3.1-3.8 g/dl respectively. For serum electrolyte level, sodium and potassium ions for the various concentrations of the extracts tested and control were also found to be within normal range. The result of kidney function test revealed that, urea, creatinine and direct and total bilirubin of the rats tested and control were all found to be within normal range. In conclusion, ether Achyranthes aspera leaves extract possessed some levels of HIV-1 gp120-CD4 binding inhibition potentials and the extracts was found to be non-toxic at 250 and 500mg/ kg body weight. It can be recommended that, the bioactive compounds should therefore be isolated and tested for gp120-CD4 binding inhibition activity.

Abstract

The attachment theory suggests that the parental-child relationship is the building block for future relationship patterns and immediate security and comfort. A securely attached child will likely have healthy relationships as an adult, with better emotional awareness, empathy, and capacity to create long-term love relationships. On the other hand, insecurely attached children may go on to experience issues with attachment into adulthood, leading to relationship difficulties, emotional dysregulation, and greater risk of mental health difficulties such as personality disorders, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, it has been proven that the attachment system itself is also dynamic and changes depending on a wide range of relational and environmental circumstances. The type of attachment relationships can be influenced by a variety of factors, such as parenting style, societal context, cultural expectations, and even the occurrence of outside stressors like trauma or divorce. For instance, therapies that foster secure attachment can effectively decrease the negative impacts of early trauma and adversity and allow children to be resilient.

Abstract

Epilepsy-related seizures can range greatly, from focal seizures that can impact certain brain areas to widespread tonic-clonic seizures. Although the exact origin of epilepsy is sometimes unknown, the underlying reasons are many and include genetic factors, brain damage, infections, stroke, tumors, and developmental abnormalities. The goal of both pharmaceutical and non-pharmacological treatments for epilepsy is to avoid seizures. With the aim of controlling seizures, antiepileptic medications (AEDs) are the first line of treatment for the majority of patients. However, about one-third of individuals with epilepsy suffer from drug-resistant seizures, which can cause cognitive, psychological, and social issues and have a significant impact on their quality of life. In these cases, alternative treatments like deep brain stimulation, vagus nerve stimulation, ketogenic diets, and surgery may be considered. New insights into the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying epilepsy have created opportunities for personalized medicine, allowing for more focused therapeutic approaches. New treatment approaches have been made possible by the discovery of certain genetic mutations, changed ion channel function, and neuroinflammation in some forms of epilepsy. Even with these developments, there are still obstacles in the way of attaining ideal seizure control and raising epileptic patients' quality of life. Because individuals with epilepsy may experience stigmatization, discrimination, and obstacles to social integration, work, and education, the illness also has significant social ramifications. To improve outcomes for individuals with epilepsy, comprehensive care models, enhanced diagnostic technologies, and public awareness campaigns are essential. Additionally, the burden that epilepsy causes on people and society may be lessened with continued study into the neurobiological processes of seizures and the creation of more potent therapies.

Abstract

Lassa fever is a viral hemorrhagic disease that poses a significant public health threat in Nigeria and West Africa. This review assesses the epidemiological trends, health impacts, and socioeconomic consequences of Lassa fever in Nigeria while proposing strategies for effective management and prevention. The natural reservoir of the Lassa virus, the multimammate rat (Mastomys natalensis), is prevalent in Nigerian households, facilitating transmission through direct contact with the rodents or their excreta, which often contaminates food. Consumption of these rats as a delicacy further exacerbates the risk. Current epidemiological data reveal that Lassa fever is endemic in Nigeria, with seasonal outbreaks primarily occurring in the dry season. The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) reported 80 deaths and 413 confirmed cases across 11 states during Epidemiological Week 6 of 2025, with Taraba, Ondo, Bauchi, and Edo states accounting for over 73% of these cases. The Case Fatality Rate (CFR) for Lassa fever has risen to 19.4% in 2025, compared to 17.5% in 2024, likely due to factors such as underreporting and limited healthcare access. Notably, the CFR can range from 1% to 50%, influenced by healthcare access and early detection. The urgent nature of Lassa fever necessitates enhanced public health interventions, community education, and effective surveillance systems to mitigate its incidence and socioeconomic impact in Nigeria, thereby contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal target 3.3 to eliminate epidemics of Lassa fever and other neglected tropical diseases by 2030.

Abstract

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) is an innovative area of research and development that includes biomaterials, cells, scaffolds, scaffolding structures, and even bioactive substances to restore, repair or regenerate damaged tissues along with organs. The scope of synthetic skin expansion has now progressed to engineering kidneys, hearts, and lungs. Use of stem cell therapies or extracellular matrices for organ healing and regeneration are other; notable shifts toward tissue engineering paradigm are towards healing adn regeneration rather than the development of reconstructive surgery. While research has shown promise, there are still concerns regarding its clinical use citing complications such as immune system rejection of newly implanted tissues, ethical issues and the economical creation of engineered tissues. The efforts being made in Asia demonstrate emerging potential in TERM. Enhanced collaboration across disciplines is essential to pave new ways towards realizing current restrictions and bold influencing ideas alongside breakthroughs.

Abstract

One such common disorder is gastritis, that is bound to cause acute or chronic inflammation of the stomach lining. It is primarily caused due to the long duration use of NSAIDs, Helicobacter pylori infection or many other reasons. Alcohol consumption, stress, bile reflux and some immunological processes also play a role in causing gastritis. While some relatives remain asymptomatic, most relatives experience symptoms such as epigastric discomfort, vomiting, and, in some cases, gastrointestinal bleeding. H. Pylori detection, endoscopic examination, and histopathology are the primary techniques for diagnosing gastritis. Another method of treatment is the use of proton pump inhibitors along with lifestyle changes, or antibiotics. Gastritis and its symptoms can be mitigated by employing primary prevention strategies like proactively treating H. Pylori infections or reducing NSAIDs consumption.

Abstract

Marburg virus disease (MVD), a severe viral hemorrhagic fever, was first identified in 1967 following simultaneous outbreaks in Marburg and Frankfurt, Germany, and Belgrade, Serbia. The initial cases were linked to laboratory exposure to African green monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) imported from Uganda for scientific research. Since then, sporadic cases and outbreaks have been reported across sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Angola, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and, more recently, in West African countries such as Ghana. Human-to-human transmission occurs through direct contact with the blood, secretions, organs, or other bodily fluids of infected individuals, as well as via contaminated materials like bedding and medical equipment. The incubation period ranges from 2 to 21 days, after which patients typically present with hemorrhagic manifestations, shock, and multiorgan failure. Currently, there is no approved antiviral treatment, and management is limited to supportive care, including fluid resuscitation, electrolyte balance, oxygen therapy, and treatment of secondary infections. Early diagnosis, case isolation, contact tracing, and stringent infection control measures are essential to containing outbreaks. Due to its high case-fatality rate, potential for epidemic spread, and lack of licensed therapeutics or vaccines, MVD is designated a priority pathogen by the World Health Organization (WHO). In the context of increasing global attention to emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, this review emphasizes the urgent need for investment in health system strengthening, improved diagnostic infrastructure, and the acceleration of vaccine and therapeutic development to mitigate future outbreaks.
