    Abstract Background: Commercial poultry farming is expanding every day and contributing to the provision of affordable and high-quality protein. However, this sector is confronted with many diseases of which coccidiosis is among the most important. There are many registered patents affirming the health benefits of Garcinia kola in poultry.
    Objective: Evaluation of in vitro anticoccidial activities of the extracts and fractions of Garcinia kola against Eimeria tenella oocyst was carried out.
    Methods: Fresh seeds of G. kola were collected, dried under shade at room temperature, and pulverized using a mortar and a pestle. The powder was exhaustively extracted with a soxhlet apparatus using 70% methanol, and the crude methanol extract (CME) was concentrated to dryness using a rotary evaporator. The CME was further partitioned using butanol, ethylacetate, and n-hexane. The CME, butanol fraction (BTF), ethylacetate fraction (EAF), and hexane fraction (HXF) were concentrated in vacuo and tested for the presence of phytochemical constituents using standard procedures. Similarly, the CME, butanol, ethyl acetate, and hexane fractions were evaluated in vitro for oocyst sporulation inhibition.
    Results: Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of cardiac glycosides, saponins, carbohydrates, steroids/triterpenes, tannins, flavonoids, and alkaloids in the CME and BTF. The EAF contains all the metabolites mentioned except saponins. Similarly, HXF contains only cardiac glycosides, tannins, and steroids/ triterpenes. The CME and BTF caused a concentration-dependent increase in the inhibition of sporulation of unsporulated oocysts of E. tenella. In the acute toxicity studies, the CME did not produce any toxic effect or mortality at doses between 10 and 5000 mg/kg. The CME was then considered safe, and the LD50 was assumed to be >5000 mg/kg.
    Conclusion: The data obtained in this study suggested that the crude methanol extract (CME) of G. kola could be an appreciable beneficial effect as an anticoccidial agent against Eimeria tenella oocyst.

    Abstract [Purpose] This study evaluated the effects of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation of the soleus muscle on spinal cord and peripheral motor nerve excitability. [Subjects and Methods] Twelve healthy adults (mean age 22 years) who provided written informed consent were administered repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation for 10 min. Pre-and post-stimulation latencies and amplitudes of H- and M-waves of the soleus muscle were measured using electromyography and compared using paired t-tests. [Results] Pre- and post-stimulation latencies (28.3 ± 3.3 vs. 29.1 ± 1.3 ms, respectively) and amplitudes (35.8 ± 1.3 vs. 35.8 ± 1.1 mV, respectively) of H-waves were similar. Pre-stimulation latencies of M-waves were significantly higher than post-stimulation latencies (6.1 ± 2.2 vs. 5.0 ± 0.9 ms, respectively), although pre- and post-stimulation amplitudes were similar (12.2 ± 1.4 vs. 12.2 ± 1.3 mV, respectively). Motor neuron excitability, based on the excitability of motor nerves and peripheral nerve action, was increased by M-waves following magnetic stimulation. [Conclusion] The lack of effect of magnetic stimulation on the amplitude and latency of the H-reflex suggests that magnetic stimulation did not activate sensory nerve synapses of α motor neurons in the spinal cord. However, because motor nerves were stimulated together with sensory nerves, the increased H-wave amplitude may have reflected changes in peripheral rather than in α motor nerves.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Immunotherapy has had a significant impact on the treatment of an increasing number of cancers as well as in inflammatory, rheumatological and gastroenterological conditions.Recreational nitrous oxide use is now a global epidemic. Linezolid is now recommended for the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB); neuropathy is a significant cause of morbidity.Global warming will result in increasing toxin exposure, such as ciguatera, in previously unaffected areas.
    Recent findings: With increasing experience, the pathophysiology underlying the neuropathic complications of these drugs has become clear with guidelines now available, for the complications of immune check-point inhibitors and nitrous oxide toxicity. The optimum dose and duration of treatment for resistant TB with regimens, including linezolid, has been ascertained.
    Summary: Although neuropathic complications with immunotherapy are relatively rare, it is essential that they are recognized and treated early. Nitrous oxide toxicity should be in the differential diagnosis for all patients, particularly those of younger age, presenting with a neuropathy or myleo-neuropathy. Ciguatera toxicity is under recognized and its geographical spread will increase due to global warming. Further research is necessary on the mechanisms and treatment of both acute and chronic effects, which at present, are only symptomatic.

    Abstract We report a baby with neonatal herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis concurrent with Rrhesus (Rh) incompatibility. He was delivered by a Ggravida 2 mother with a history of miscarriage in her previous pregnancy at a gestation age of 4 months. She had Bblood group 0 and Rrhesus negative. The baby was noticed to have jaundice on day one1 of life accompanied by generalised petechiae on the face and upper chest. A full blood picture revealed severe anaemia and severe thrombocytopaenia and HSV 1/2 IgM was positive. MRI of the brain showed multiple extensive haemorrhagic lesions on the frontal-temporal regions.

    Abstract We report a newborn with neurocristic cutaneous hamartoma of the scalp. He was delivered at term via caesarean section due to a previous scar and presented at the neonatal unit on the fifth day with giant congenital nevi on the scalp and disseminated melanocytic nevi throughout the body. The MRI scan of the brain showed a defect at the occipital region with herniation of the occipital lobes and ventricles through the defect, with infratentorial brain parenchyma exhibiting normal signal return and intact cerebellum. The initial diagnosis was a giant haemangioma, which has ruptured, and possible cytomegalovirus infection, causing 'blueberry muffin' syndrome. On follow-up, the hamartoma/haemangioma-like mass regressed, and a large well-demarcated melanotic patch on scalp and large encephalocele were seen. This infant is now being scheduled for neurosurgical intervention.

    Abstract We report a severe form of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type VIII from a lower-middle income country. This is the first case report of this type in Tanzania. The term neonate was delivered normally via spontaneous vaginal delivery and presented at the neonatal unit with features of shortened limb girdles and macrocephaly. The long bones had multiple fractures. He was diagnosed clinically to have OI or a type of metaphysial dysplasia. A plain X-ray showed multiple fractures of the long bones. The eyes did not have blue sclerae. Clinically, the generic diagnosis of OI was made.Genetic testing revealed typical prolyl 3-hydroxylase 1 (

    Abstract Caudal regression is a rare complex disorder impacting the formation of the caudal segment of the spine and spinal cord. We report a preterm newborn baby who was referred to us due to respiratory distress syndrome and bilateral knee contracture. A clinical examination and a radiographic skeletal survey revealed a short spinal cord with complete agenesis of the lumbar, sacrum and coccygeal spine, and hypoplastic iliac bones with bilateral knee contractures. The mother did not have diabetes. The long-term outcome is not well-known in our set-up.
