ABSTRACT Background: Myzus pe.rsicae (green peach aphids) are crop pests; they are among the most destructive insect pests on cultivated plants in temperate regions. Many of them are green in color, but others may be white wooly or black (McGravin,1993).Their damage to plants has made farming a complicated venture across the whole world. From the zo9logical standpoint, they are a highly successful group of organisms (Piper, 2007). The study was conducted to evaluate .the chemical composition ...
ABSTRACTPharmacovigilance is an essential phenomenon in the rational use of medicine, providing information about ADR in general population. Tracking ADR in" close system pharmacy" whichhas relied on use of yellow forms and feed back following exposure to drugs has been inadequate. Alternative methods are therefore required. In the present study, the use of a combination of two methods to determine possible interactionsprior to dispensing and adverse drug reactions following ex...
ABSTRACT. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity, to determine the most efficiency extractive solvents and phytochemical profile of Hot water, Methanol alcohol and Lemon juice extract of Lawsonia inermis (henna) leaf. The plant attracted the attention of researchers because of its use as anti-infective agent. The oily and alcoholic extracts of the plant Lawsonia inermis dried powdered leaves were separately obtained by maceration, while the aqueous was obtained b...
ABSTRACT Back ground: Staphylococcus aureus is a gram positive bacteria that exists on the skin as nonnal flora. It is classified as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), where MRSA is resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics. MRSA has become a predominant pathogen in the health care system causing outbreaks within the communities and hospitals. The infection risk of mortality and increases morbidity. Objective: To detennine the...
ABSTRACT Background: In Low and Medium income countries (LMICs) focus antenatal care (FANC) services are so low, below the recommended threshold. In Uganda, high maternal and neonatal mortalities have been attributed to the severe variations in F ANC coverage in rural communities. Aim: This study was to determine factors affecting utilization of FANC services in Kitagata Hospital of sheema district, Uganda. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study carried out for a period of 5 ...

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND People with advanced HIV I AIDS are vulnerable to infections and malignancies that are called opportunistic infections because they have a weakened immune system. Opportunistic infections continue to cause morbidity and mortality in patients with Human Immune Deficiency Virns (HIV)-1 infection. Some Ois only affect women or affect women more than men.Potent combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) has reduced the incidence of Ols for certain patients with access to care. H...
CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION Medicinal plants have been of great important to the health of individual and communities. The medicinal value of these plants had some chemical active substances that produce a definite physiological action on the human body. Nature has served as a rich repository of medicinal plants for thousands of years and an impressive number of modern drugs have been isolated from natural sources, notably of plant origin (Cowan, 1999) .Herbal medicine. based on their tradi...
ABSTRACT: Plants produce a good deal of secondary metabolites which have benefited mankind in various ways including treatment of diseases. The present study was carried out to identify and isolate the different phytochemicals present inS. campanulata stem bark aqueous methanolic extract, to quantify these phytochemicals, and to identify different fractions of the extract of S. campanulata. The study carried out was an experimental one, done at Kampala International University Western Campus...

ABSTRACT The Carica papaya (CP) is a member of the small family Caricaceae commonly grown globally. The different parts of the CP plant (the fruits, leaves, latex and seeds) can be eaten and also have been used for medicinal purposes as claimed traditionally for treatment of different ailments and wound healing. This research therefore was aimed at doing phytochemical screening of the components of the extracts of unripe fruit of CP and determining the antibacterial properties of CP on bacte...
