 Abstract

Despite the high mortality and financial burden associated with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in Nigeria, gaps still exist on the epidemiology and management of this non-communicable disease in the country. This study sought to estimate the prevalence of CKD and its distribution in Nigeria using a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of community-based studies that were conducted across the six geopolitical zones of the country. The study employed global best standards and practices in conducting systematic review and meta-analysis. This involved drafting and registration of the work into PROSPERO which was which was reviewed and assigned the registration number: CRD42023441374; adherence to acceptable research philosophies, and use of the PRISMA Framework for identification, screening and selection of quality studies included in the review. The PECO question was raised to guide the study and search for key words while Zotero software was used to manage information that was transferred to Excel sheet (data extraction) before data analysis was done with Medcal Software version 20.009. A total of ten (10) studies that meet the inclusion criteria set in the protocol were used for the meta-regression. Seven thousand and ten (7,010) individuals formed the sample size for the study from the 10 selected articles across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria. Test for heterogeneity was conducted using the Cochrane's Q while test for publication bias was conducted using the Begg's test. Result showed that there was significant heterogeneity among the studies across the six geopolitical zones of the nation (P = 0.0001) despite low publication bias noted among the studies (P = 0.8510). This informed the use of the random effect model for the estimation of the pooled prevalence of CKD in Nigeria. The prevalence of CKD in Nigeria was found to be 15.432% (95% CI: 12.291% to 18.860%) which translates to 17,811,828 (95% CI: 14,186,442 to 21,768,473) Nigerians living with the condition. There is therefore an urgent need to scale up public health efforts such as health education and awareness creation against risk factors of the disease, health system strengthening, and innovations needed to manage the high burden of CKD in Nigeria.

 Abstract

This case report presents the dental management of a 21-year-old female patient with Down syndrome, who presented with chronic pain in the upper front region of the jaw. The patient had delayed developmental milestones and exhibited physical characteristics associated with Down syndrome. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she had been unable to receive previous dental treatment at a trust-associated dental clinic. The patient was referred to the M.A.R.D.C Pune for further dental evaluation and treatment. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed over-retained primary maxillary canine and chronic irreversible pulpitis in multiple teeth. This case report highlights the challenges and considerations in providing dental care for individuals with Down syndrome and emphasizes the importance of early intervention and regular dental visits for this population.

 Abstract

Plant-derived essential oils find widespread applications in the realm of medicine, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Essential oils, which have a liquid extracts obtained from fragrant plants are extensively utilized across various industries due to their versatile applications. Different techniques are employed to extract essential oils, each of which has its own benefits and yields information about the chemical and biological characteristics of the oils that are extracted. Due to their ability to lower stress, increase relaxation, elevate mood, and treat a variety of medical issues, essential oils are frequently used in aromatherapy. It delves deeply into the chemical complexity of essential oils, which are made up of a wide range of constituents like phenols, aldehydes, ketones, and terpenes. The review highlights the role of these compounds in not only imparting unique aromas but also in conferring These extracts possess therapeutic attributes like antibacterial, anti-swelling, pain killer effects. Moreover, safety considerations surrounding the utilization of essential oils are addressed, emphasizing the importance of proper dilution, adherence to recommended guidelines, and awareness of potential adverse reactions. Understanding these safety measures ensures their responsible and effective utilization.

 Abstract

A pre experimental study with one group pre and post test design was adopted for the study. Then using simple random sampling technique-lottery method 400 adolescent girls were selected from five govt high schools who met inclusion criteria. The overall pretest mean knowledge scores was 24.24 with SD of 2.98 and the post test mean knowledge scores was 38.09 with SD of 2.37. The obtained paired "t" test value was 72.44 which shows statistical significance at p<0.05%.

 Abstract

The Text File Translator is a software application designed to facilitate the translation of text from one language to another. It provides a user-friendly interface that allows users to load a text file containing the source text and select the target language for translation. The application utilizes advanced machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques to accurately translate the text while preserving its meaning and context .The objective of this project is to translate small and large amount of information very easily. The input information which is to be translated to desired language is taken in the form of text file and the expected output will be in the form of translated text file. For one line translation, we can directly give input text and get the output text which is translated to desired language. But for text file translation, input is given in the form of text file and we expect the translated text file as output. We use 'googletrans ' python library that implemented Google Translate API in this project. By using this language translator any text and text file can be translated to any desired language. The language translator's job is to take content from one language and put it into another. It builds bridges between cultures. Language translation makes possible getting all information we need in our native language. Translation creates a sensation of global integration. It is done efficiently using language translator. We can say language translator is the task of automatically converting one natural language into another, preserving the meaning of the input text, and producing fluent text in the output language. It is mainly used for text and text file translation in real-time. The Text File Translator supports a wide range of languages and offers various translation options, including automatic translation, manual editing, and language-specific customization. Its intuitive user interface makes it easy for users to navigate through the translation process, providing suggestions and correction tools to enhance the accuracy of the translations. Overall, the Text File Translator is a powerful tool that streamlines the translation process, empowering users to efficiently and accurately translate text files across different languages.

 Abstract

The project's objective is to develop a tool for predicting traffic data accurately and promptly. This encompasses various factors such as trains, accidents, races, and road maintenance that can impact road traffic, potentially causing disruptions. By providing highly accurate predictions in advance for these scenarios and other daily situations affecting traffic, the tool aims to empower drivers and passengers to make informed decisions. Furthermore, this predictive capability is envisioned to contribute to the advancement of autonomous vehicles. As the volume of car data has surged in recent years, there is a transition toward leveraging car data. Although existing traffic prediction methods employ various models, they still face challenges in addressing real-world applications effectively. This challenge underscores the need to investigate traffic issues using advanced data and models. Given the substantial volume of available traffic data, the project proposes the use of machine learning, genetic algorithms, soft computing, and deep learning algorithms to analyze transportation big data with minimal reductions. Additionally, the project incorporates image processing algorithms in the driver recognition process, ultimately enhancing the training of autonomous vehicles.
