Investigation of Parameters Determining Thermosyphon Flow-Velocity in a Simulated Solar Water Heater
Abstract: Real life experimental investigations that involve natural variables are essential and necessary in determining the performance characteristics of systems that depend on them but they are not easily repeatable under the same conditions. The alternative approach is the modelling and simulation of such systems. This work however, is concerned with the experimental investigation of the performance characteristics of thermosyphon solar water heating system using an electrically simulated collector. Heating rate …

Appendiceal Tie Syndrome
Abstract: Introduction: Appendicular tie/knot syndrome is a very rare presentation of acute appendicitis causing intestinal obstruction. The literature has described intestinal knot syndromes such as ileosigmoid knots and ileal-ileal knots. We present a case of an appendico-ileal knot, an uncommon type of closed-loop blockage, caused by a lengthy, inflamed appendix wrapping around a loop of the ileum. Aim: to increase clinical awareness of this issue among medical professionals so that it …

Anthropometric Measurements as Cardio-Metabolic Risk Factors Did Not Associate with Echocardiography Determinants in Type 2 Diabetes
Abstract: Obesity and Type 2 diabetes (T2D) are risk factors for cardiovascular events. Anthropometric measurements are considered as independent risk factors for these events. This study aimed to assess the link between anthropometric measurements that are considered as risk factors for cardiovascular events and echocardiography determinants in T2D. A total number of 50 T2D patients (20 males and 30 females) with a median age of 58.8 years were included in this …

Thyroid Abscess: Presentation and Management: A Case Report in Adult Patient
Abstract: Introduction: Thyroid abscess is an uncommon condition. This is due to: 1) anatomical factors in the form of rich blood supply and well developed capsule; and 2) physiological factors such as high iodine content. Both Acute Suppurative Thyroiditis (AST) and thyroid abscess represent 0.1 to 0.7% of the thyroid lesions managed surgically. Aim: To raise the clinical suspicion of this condition among clinicians so that it can be diagnosed early …

Trends Analysis of Temperature and Rainfall over Nguru, a Floodplain of Hadejia-Nguru Wetlands, Nigeria
Abstract: Abstract:This paper present the trends of meteorological parameters over Nguru, floodplain of Hadejia- Nguru Wetlands, Nigeria, with the aim of revealing increasing or decreasing trend within a 40 years monthly time series data of minimum temperature, maximum temperature, average temperature and rainfall. A non-parametric Mann-Kendall trend test and Sen’s slope estimate was used to analyse trends exhibited by the variables. The results reveal annual increasing (upward) trends of temperatures (minimum, …
