Abstract: This study was conducted to determine the perceptual learning style preferences of the clinical laboratory science students. Descriptive methodology was used where questionnaires were distributed and analyzed using mean and ANOVA. The results revealed that the predominant overall learning style preference of the students was kinesthetic. There was no significant difference in the learning style preferences for visual, auditory, kinesthetic, tactile and individual. However, there was a significant difference in the learning style preference of the students when it comes to group learning.

Abstract: Background: Motorcycle injuries constitute a major but neglected emerging public health problem in developing countries. In Kenya, Commercial motorcycling has become a popular mode of transport in both rural and urban areas since 1990s but traced to 1960s. However, its related injuries cause significant morbidity and mortality. Many road users have viewed their presence in the roads as the cause of congestion, confusion, fear, and decreased safety in the road system. Few community-based studies have investigated the problem leading to inadequate data to inform prevention strategies. Objectives: The primary objectives were; to determine the demographic characteristics of motorcyclists in Butula sub county, determine the, environmental and human factors associated with commercial motorcyclist's crashes and injuries..........

Abstract: Ocular toxoplasmosis is an incurable infectious disease caused by a inevitably intracellular protozoan called Toxoplasma gondii and is probably the most common cause of posterior segment infections in many countries. The authors report a case of a 30-year-old woman who consulted for bilateral oculalgia, tickling and decreased visual acuity; Visual acuity without correction by far was 10 /10th in the right eye and 10 / 10th in the left eye. Ophthalmoscopic and retinographic evaluation reveals a chorioretinal scar in the right eye suggesting the diagnosis of ocular toxoplasmosis. Ocular toxoplasmosis is one of the major causes of posterior segment infection. Inactive cases may be asymptomatic and the diagnosis requires a complete examination of the eye for better management........
