Cytochrome oxidase I gene of the mitochondrial DNA was used for the identification of species.

Background: The calf muscles pump is the primary mechanism to return blood from the lower limbs to the heart. During exercise, the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) contract and compress the intramuscular and deep veins. Calf muscles pump efficacy is dependent on the power of the moving ankle joint and flexibility of these muscles. Presence of gastrosoleus tightness may affect, alter the efficiency of this muscle in venous return thereby influencing heart rate. So this study aims to evaluate effect of gastrosoleus stretching on heart rate in normal individuals.

We are presenting a case of fourth Gravida with history of previous three spontaneous late first trimester miscarriages. She was diagnosed with protein S Deficiency in non-pregnant state after screening for thrombophilia. The prophylactic therapy with low molecular weight heparin along with Aspirin was introduced from the 6th week of gestation after fetal cardiac activity was appreciated on ultrasound & continued for whole of the gestation. She underwent planned caesarean section at 38 weeks of gestation resulting in the delivery of a healthy male new born of 2.6 kg body weight.

Applications of queuing theory enhance congestion assessment of in-patient facilities in hospitals and can improve significantly on the impact of quality healthcare as well as on patient satisfaction. This study examined the congestion situations which include the length of stay (LOS) for admissions and discharges of male and female in-patients at Psychiatric Unit of Specialist Hospital (PUSH), Yola. Data were obtained from a secondary source and analyzed with EasyFit software, IBM-SPSS, TORA and MS-Excel.

Background: Hemodialysis (HD) is a protein catabolic procedure. During dialysis the diaphragm as a skeletal muscle is affected by protein breakdown leading to its weakness and limitation of its movement and affecting the oxygenation. Objective: to find out the efficacy of Respiratory Muscle training on arterial blood gases in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: This randomized clinical study was conducted on thirty patients of both genders undergoing hemodialysis, their age ranged from 35-45 years old. The 30 patients received respiratory muscle training.
