    Abstract: Irradiation results in a depression of the sperm count. The risk of damage to genes and chromosomal of spermatozoa exists and increases with increasing dose, potentially causing sterility or developments defects in children. Reputed to be a powerful natural antioxidant that may cause inhibition of radical processes, the protection of the macromolec... Show More

    Abstract: Magnetic water was used as an attractive reagent of snails, Monacha cartusiana, to pick more pesticides namely Thiamethoxam and Diafenthiuron, under laboratory conditions for 24 hours. Toxicity, synergism and food consumption rate were assessed in the presence and absence of magnetic water. Without magnetic water Thiamethoxam showed higher activity... Show More

    Abstract: G6PD deficiency is one of the most common human enzyme deficiencies in the world. It is particularly common in populations living in malaria-endemic areas. The aim of this study is to molecularly screen G6PD enzyme among deficient children (aged 0-5 years) with Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Katsina State, North-western Nigeria, and a region with...
