Abstract: The objective of this paper is to determined the concentration levels of some mineral elements, vitamins and proximate composition of the roots of goose grass (Eleusin indica) and pawpaw (Carica papaya) to ascertain their nutritional and medicinal potentials, using standard methods. The result obtained showed the concentration level of calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), sodium (Na), Magnesium (Mg) and potassium (K) in pawpaw (Carica papaya) to be (0.05±0.01 g/100g, 0.00±0.00 m/100g, 0.01±0.02 g/100g, 0.00±0.03 g/100g and 0.01±0.01 g/100g, respectively; while those of goose grass (Eleusin indica) were 0.04±0.02 g/100g, 0.00±0.00 g/100g, 0.01±0.01 g/100g, 0.00±0.01 g/100g and 0.01±0.03 g/100g respectively. The concentration levels of vitamin A, B1, C and D in pawpaw (Carica......

Abstract: Background: Analgesia, one of the components of triad of anaesthesia, has now extended to relief of postoperative pain, chronic pain and cancer pain. The spinal cord has taken the center stage in analgesia practice and Spinal anaesthesia is the commonly used technique for lower limb surgeries as it is easy to administer, economical and causes less hemodynamic variation than general anaesthesia. Hence different additives can be used to increase the duration of postoperative analgesia. Since there are no studies comparing Buprenorphine and Nalbuphine, we have selected this study to evaluate the effect of intrathecal Bupivacaine with Buprenorphine compared with Nalbuphine.......

Abstract: The present research was conducted to evaluate antioxidant potentials of Alpina muricata leaf extracts. Extracts were prepared from the leaf of the plant with aqueous, ethanolic and ethylacetate solvents system at 5.0% concentration. Free radical scavenging ability using 2,2-diphenyl-2-pricrylhydrazyl [DPPH] and metal chelation ability of the leaf extracts were assessed. Results revealed significantly (P<0.05) high antioxidant potential obtained from both aqueous and ethanolic extracts which was comparatively higher than that obtained from ethylacetate extract. Highest DPPH inhibition (97%) was exhibited by aqueous leaf extract of Alpina muricata plant, followed by (60%) ethanolic extract while the least DPPH inhibition (56%) was obtained in ethylacetate leaf extract. Besides, highest metal.......
Key Word: Alpina muricata, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl, metal chelation, antioxidant potential.
