Efficiency of surgical treatment in patients with cancer of stomach, complicated with bleedeing in Nigeria

Gastric cancer (GC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in the world. GC more frequently accompanied by bleeding signaling an advanced development from the mucosa to different layers of stomach. Bleeding may result from ulcerated mucosa, local vessel damage in 60%–70% of patients with advanced cancer. Hemorrhage may occur as an acute catastrophic event, episodic major bleeds, or ongoing low-volume oozing

Difference in frequency obstetric fistula in nigerian and european women

An obstetric fistula is an abnormal opening between the vagina and organs of pelvis.Each year, more than a quarter million women in Nigeria die in pregnancy and childbirth, of those that do not perish, suffer from obstetric fistula (OF).OF caused by of obstructed labor, without timely medical intervention or Cesarean section. During this time, the soft tissues of the pelvis are compressed between the baby’s head and the mother’s pelvic bones. The lack of blood flow causes tissue to die, creating a hole between the mother’s vagina and organs of pelvis

The impact of ЕNРР1 gene K121Q polymorphism on the development of concomitant cardiovascular diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes

Proven the important role of ENPP1 gene in the development of calcification of the vascular wall and insulin resistance. This contributes to cardiovascular disease (CVD) on the one hand, on the other – type 2 diabetes (T2DM)

Recycling oriented vertical vibratory separation of copper and polypropylene particles

Vibration has been employed in various engineering processes for material handling. The famous Brazil nut effect, large particles tend to rise to the top under vibration, initiates various research about vibration induced particle segregation. Particle size and density are two determining factors for their behaviour under vibration. Previous research in University of Nottingham proves vertical vibratory separation to be a promising environmental friendly mechanical separation method for recycling metallic fraction from shredded Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) stream. A pilot scale thin cell vibratory separator has been developed to investigate the potential for WEEE recycling applications. Shredded copper and polypropylene particles have been chosen to mimic metallic and non-metallic fractions in WEEE. Vibratory separation experiment with controlled environment and addition of solid lubricant are presented in this paper. The result demonstrates the effect of relative humidity and solid lubricant on improving flowability of granular system hence successful vibratory separation. The proposed mechanisms for the presence of moisture and solid lubricant are lubricant effect and elimination of static electricity

Erodibility of Nanocomposite-Improved Unsaturated Soil Using Genetic Programming, Artificial Neural Networks, and Evolutionary Polynomial Regression Techniques

Genetic programming (GP) of four levels of complexity, including artificial neural networks of the hyper-tanh activation function (ANN-Hyper-Tanh), artificial neural networks of the sigmoid activation function (ANN-Sigmoid), evolutionary polynomial regression (optimized with genetic algorithm) (EPR), and intelligent techniques have been used to predict the erodibility of lateritic soil collected from an erosion site and treated with hybrid cement. Southeastern Nigeria and specifically Abia State is being destroyed by gully erosion, the solution of which demands continuous laboratory examinations to determine the parameters needed to design sustainable solutions. Furthermore, complicated equipment setups are required to achieve reliable results. To overcome constant laboratory works and equipment needs, intelligent prediction becomes necessary. This present research work adopted four different metaheuristic techniques to predict the erodibility of the soil; classified as A-7-6, weak, unsaturated, highly plastic, high swelling and high clay content treated with HC utilized in the proportions of 0.1–12% at the rate of 0.1%. The results of the geotechnics aspect of the work shows that the HC, which is a cementitious composite formulated from blending nanotextured quarry fines (NQF) and hydrated lime activated nanotextured rice husk ash (HANRHA), improves the erodibility of the treated soil substantially and consistently. The outcome of the prediction models shows that EPR with SSE of 1.6% and R2 of 0.996 outclassed the other techniques, though all four techniques showed their robustness and ability to predict the target (Er) with high performance accuracy
