Abstract: The article reveals the determination of the volume of the cavities of the heart ventricles by echocardiography, which is important in cardiology. Paper focuses on the left ventricle of the heart, which has the most correct and most accessible form of visualization. Measuring the ultrasonic probe by setting it in the parasternal short-axis positions at the end of the mitral valve determines the area of the cavity length and by. Then, the ultrasonic sensor is installed in the apical four-access. The image is recorded, investigated the cavity of the long axis is split evenly n segments. Parallel lines held perpendicular to the interventricular septum at each point of division. Each short axis corresponds to the definition area of the cavities of the ventricles, which are also perpendicular to the interventricular septum. Corresponding to each segment of the ventricular cavity volume is determined by calculating the approximate cubature formula for Simpson. Then, summing up all the calculated amounts, we finally obtain the formula for determining the volume of the cavity of the ventricles of the heart. It states that this method is more accurate and reliable than other existing methods.

Abstract: Some elements may take part in the initiation of stone crystallization or inhibitor in urine, in this study; we estimated some of trace elements in patients and control groups to correlate between the distributions of trace elements in the serum with kidney stone formation in Sudanese's patient. This is descriptive cross-sectional study correlated during 1st May to 30ty September 2014 and was conducted in Khartoum State hospitals. Sixty blood samples were collected from the patients at Urology unit along with forty blood samples as a control, the mean ± SD of the age in patients were 41.75 ± 2.03 and for the control were 42.95±1.67, this study included both gender. Biochemical analysis of serum samples was carried out for the patients and the control group to estimate some of the trace elements (Zn, Cu, Mg and Mn) concentrations. It was found that there is a statistical significant difference in Zn and Mn concentration between the two groups with P value in Zn (0.003) and in Mn (0.000), but not in Mg and Cu concentration, P value in Mg (0.074) and in Cu (0.273). Our study suggested that increase of Zn and decrease of Mn associated with increased risk factor of kidney stone disease.

Abstract: Salvadora persica (SP) has been used as a medicinal purpose among global Muslim community. The present study was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant activity of aqueous extract of SP in male albino rats subjected to forced swimming test (FST) and related biochemical parameters. These activities were tested at dose of 900 mg/kg extracts of SP administered orally for 28 successive days. Rats were divided into two groups (12 animals/group): control group (distilled water) and extract group (SP aqueous extract at 900 mg/kg for two weeks. On day 14, animals will be further classified into four equal groups (six animals each): Undepressed control, depressed rats, extract plus undepressed rats and extract plus depressed for next two weeks. The weight of the animals will be measured every week. HPLC analysis revealed the profile of SP extract. It was found that extract significantly (p<0.001) increases mobility time in rats. It also showed significant (p<0.001) decreased in blood glucose and DNA fragmentation as compared to depressed group. Additionally, there was an imbalance of oxidants/antioxidants level in brain of depressed rats and a significant inhibition on serum butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) activity in rats exposed to FST. The obtained results revealed that SP extract has got significant antioxidant activity. Hence, aqueous extract of SP may be explored further for the management of mental depression.

Abstract: The present study was designed to access the reproductive status of Isa-brown cockerel breeders raised in Gwagwalada by comparing the semen quality of the cockerels raised in Gwagwalada and those raised in Jos. Twelve Isa-brown cockerels of (18-24 months) weighing between (3-4 kg) were used. Six cockerel breeders were randomly selected from three different breeder farms in Jos and six from Gwagwalada during the dry season. Environmental parameters that were measured were mean daily temperatures (T°C) and mean relative humidity (%) of study zones. After acclimatization semen samples were collected from the cockerels by cloaca massage into a graduated tube and analysed. The parameters that were analysed for semen quality included: motility, mass activity, percentage live, morphological defects, semen volume, pH and colour. Results showed that the cockerels from the two zones, had similar semen characteristics. The mean values for all the parameters measured werenot significantly different between the two zones (p>0.05). The average ambient temperature and relative humidity at the time of study were 37.5°C and 54% for Gwagwalada versus 20°C and 60% for Jos. It was concluded that the variations in the climatic conditions of the two zones had real effects on cockerel semen quality comparing the volume of semen obtained from the cockerels. High environmental temperature recorded in Gwagwalada was not combined with high humidity. Recommendation was that conscious effort must be made in terms of poultry house design and provision of facilities in other to shield the effect of heat stress on breeder farms in Gwagwalada.

Abstract: Fundamental knowledge of biomedical science, engineering, and technology, including insights into the complex real world phenomena, into the mechanisms behind the working of the biological systems and modern devices, advanced biomaterials and a wide range of environmental influences, are expected to affect learners’ thought processes in a special way. Modern biomedical instruments provide data for disease forecasts. They monitor different stages of disease development from localized or regional spread to distant spread and during incubation, prodromal, illness, decline, and convalescence periods. This paper presents 150 multiple choice questions and answers relating to the biomedical field that eventually helps us to understand natural phenomena, biochemical concepts, principles and processes, design and development of modern medical devices, diagnostic tools, treatment techniques, advances in medication and constructive applications. The purpose is to generate curiosity among learners to know more about the biomedical field and to highlight its importance in the real world around them so that they can take informed decisions in the future. The paper will facilitate learner self-evaluation and knowledge development in the biomedical field through various facts and figures in the form of questions and answers. This questionnaire is intended to promote interest among wider audiences from science students to health activists, and it will set the stage for further tangible progress in capacity building essential to their future ability to use biomedical ideas effectively.
