Effects of Hydrotherapy Programmes on Knee Osteoarthritis
Abstract: Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a progressive degenerative disorder characterized by the breakdown of articular cartilage, joint margins, and surrounding structures. It is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions affecting weight-bearing joints, leading to functional limitation, pain, stiffness, and reduced quality of life. Although OA is irreversible, early intervention and appropriate therapeutic strategies can slow its progression and help delay invasive procedures such as total joint replacement. Hydrotherapy …

Combustion Characteristics of Waterlily (Nymphaea lotus Linn.) Briquettes
Abstract: The effect of binder types (bananas, yams, and cassava) and binders proportion on thermal properties of waterlily (Nymphaea lotus Linn.) briquettes were investigated. Peels from bananas, yams, and cassava were collected from agro processing cottage industry. The peels were washed, sun-dried, and ground using a disk mill and Tyler sieves to a particle sizes of 0.50 mm. The waterlily plants were collected from the river using a drag net, sun-dried, …

Fenvalerate Toxicity on Fish: A Review
Abstract: As a new class of agricultural insecticides, synthetic pyrethroids are widely used to control insect pests. Synthetic pyrethroids have shown to enter the aquatic environment from agricultural runoff or drift from aerial and ground-based spraying applications posing threat to fishes, which are less tolerant to pesticides through direct exposure. These insecticides interfere with the sodium channel of the nervous system resulting in prolonged sodium tail current. Widespread application of these …

A study of The impact of Antibiotic Pollution and The types of Environmental Pollution It causes
Abstract: Antibiotics are essential biological drugs for human health and are the cornerstone of treating infections caused by various bacteria and viruses. However, they also pose a significant risk if misused, as each antibiotic is designed for a specific type of bacteria. Sometimes, due to the evolution of bacteria, many antibiotics have become ineffective and resistant to contamination and infection. Therefore, they can have the opposite effect, polluting the environment instead …
