Sodium Imbalance among Post-operative Traumatic Brain Injury Patients: A Descriptive Study
Abstract: Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the damage to the brain resulting from external mechanical force, such as rapid acceleration or deceleration or penetration by a projectile object. Electrolyte imbalance, especially sodium is very common due to the abnormal biochemical changes which occur after TBI. Nurses should have the knowledge about the changes in electrolyte levels in order to understand the principles of treatment and to prevent common complications in …

Synthesis and Characterization of pH-Sensitive Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic Acid) Hydrogels for Controlled Release of Doxorubicin
Abstract: pH-responsive polymeric hydrogels have attracted significant attention as intelligent biomaterials for site-specific and controlled drug delivery in cancer therapy due to their ability to respond to the acidic tumor microenvironment. In the present study, poly (N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) [P(NIPAM-co-AAc)] hydrogels were synthesized via free radical copolymerization and systematically characterized to evaluate their suitability for controlled delivery of doxorubicin, a widely used chemotherapeutic agent. The copolymer hydrogels were prepared using N-isopropylacrylamide and …

Damage Assessment in Reinforced Concrete Structures
Abstract: Reinforced concrete structures are subjected to a pattern of loading in addition to deterioration with age during their service life, which lead to damage of the structure. Damage assessment is an integral part of structural health monitoring (SHM) which aims to detect, locate and quantify the damage as well as predict the remaining service ability of the structure. Damage assessment technique can be classified into either global or local methods. …

Performance Evaluation of Modified Cold Mix Asphalt by Some Waste Materials
Abstract: The aim of study is to evaluate modified CMA volumetric, mechanical and durability properties by some waste materials. Previous studies described that the mechanical properties of CMA are shown to be influenced by different factors including base bitumen grade, porosity of the mix, curing time and additives. The current research is designed to use the waste and by-product materials as filler to enhance the conventional CMA early age strength. Hence, …

Nitrosamine Accumulation, Processing Variables, and Indigenous Plant Inhibitors in Nigerian Traditionally Processed Meats
Abstract: N-nitrosamines are classified as probable or possible human carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Carcinogenic N-nitrosamines — principally N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) — are formed in abundance during the preparation of widely consumed Nigerian traditional processed meats including suya, kilishi, and balangu. This original investigation combined a six geopolitical zone of Nigerian market survey with laboratory-controlled model system experiments, effects of processing parameters on N-Nitrosamine formation …
