Abstract: Qualitative phytochemical composition of Limonia acidissima leaf and heamatological indices of phenylhydrazine (phz)-induced anaemic wistar rats were investigated. A total of forty two (42) wistar rats of both sexes weighing between 150-200g were used. The animals were randomly divided into seven (7) groups of six rats each. Folic acid and Vitamin B12 were used as reference drugs. Aqueous extract of Limonia acidissima leaves was administered to the rats for four (4) weeks period.Qualitative phytochemical analysis on the dry leaf samples revealed the presence of the following in low abundance:  Alkaloid, Saponins, Cardiac glycoside, Steroids, Phenols, Terpenoids and Proteins while flavonoids were in high abundance. Induction of anaemia significantly (p<0.05) decreased Haemoglobin (Hb) levels, Red Blood Cell (RBC) concentration, Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) and White Blood Cell Count (WBC) of Phenylhydrazine-Induced non- treated rats compared to normal control. In the groups treated with aqueous extract of Limonia acidissima at the doses of 100mg/kgbw, 200mg/kgbw and 300mg/kgbw, Hb, MCV,WBC and RBC were significantly (p<0.05) elevated in the first two weeks of the investigation while a further significant (p<0.05) increase occurred in the fourth week in comparison to the Phenylhydrazine-induced anemic non- treated rats. A significant increase (p<0.05)  in the haematological parameters was also observed in the groups treated with folic acid and vitamin B12 when compared to the Phenylhydrazine-induced anaemic non- treated groups at the first two weeks and the fourth week.This outcome illustrates the anti-anaemic potential of aqueous extract of the leaf of Limonia acidissima and its possession of hematopoietic properties and that at a dose of 300mg/kgbw, it has the most anti-anemic potentials.

Abstract: The experiment was conducted at the Student's Research Farm, Khalsa College, Amritsar during Rabi season 2013. The soil of experimental field was categorized as sandy loam. The soil tested low in organic carbon and available nitrogen (N) but high in available phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). The soil pH and electrical conductivity values were within the normal range. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design (RBD) having 10 treatments comprising three levels of N (100,125 and 150 kg/ha) along with three levels of K (100, 125 and 150 kg K₂O/ ha) and one control. All the fertilizer treatments gave higher growth, yield, net returns and B: C ratio as compared to control. Among different treatments of fertilizer, treatment T⁶ (N_125% + K_125%) recorded maximum total tuber yield (454.5 q/ha) and net returns (166144.01 Rs/ha).

Abstract:The objective of this study was to try to find out effect of resource planning on project implementation in the energy sector in Kenya. The specific objectives of this study were: to determine effect of resource technology on project implementation; to evaluate effect of financial planning on project implementation; to assess effect of project time planning on project implementation and finally to determine effect of human resource planning on the project implementation. The study adopted a case of research design. The target population of the study was 58 and particularly in the following departments: Finance, supply and chain, Operations management and Administration and Security and Integrity Departments. The sample size of the research study was 35. The research study adopted a stratified sampling technique in selecting the sample. The main instruments for data collection was a questionnaire (structured) that allowed uniformity of responses to questions. The data that was collected was analyzed using SPSS whereby, descriptive statistics such as the frequency distribution and percentage was used to summarize data, which was presented in tables, graphs and pie charts. Regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between the independent and dependent variables of the study that were already set out in the objectives of the research study. The regression analysis revealed that resource technology contributed 30.5%, financial planning contributed 31.9%, project time planning contributed 86.3% and human resource planning 76.5% to project implementation at KenGen Murangá County branch.  Therefore, this study confirmed that there was a positive association between resource technology, financial planning, project time planning and human resource planning and project implementation at KenGen Murangá branch. The study recommended that the stakeholders should have a good planning framework that will positively influence the project implementation. The study established that project time planning influenced highly the project implementation at KenGen Murangá branch. The researcher, therefore, recommends that project time planning should be effective to improve the project implementation.

Abstract:The efficacy of Distilled water, ethanol, and acetone extracts of wild and in-vitro plants of Tetrapleura tetraptera on some selected Bacteria was investigated using standard biological methods revealed significant (P<.0.05) inhibitory effect of plant extracts, on the test bacteria with ethanol extract having the highest antibacterial activity followed by acetone and distilled water extract. Ethanol extract had higher zones of inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus (14.31mm) but lowest against Pseudomonas oryzae (8.37mm) for in-vitro plant extract, while the maximum inhibitory activity against P. oryzae (10.31mm) and a minimum inhibitory activity against E. coli (5.53mm) were recorded for acetone in-vitro extract of plant. Also, the in-vitro leaf extract of distilled water showed the least activity against Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli with 8.40mm and 2.75mm respectively. Similarly, for the wild plant leaf, ethanol extract produce higher zones of inhibition against S. aureus (17.25mm) and lowest against Ralstonia solanacearum (9.34mm), while higher inhibitory activity reflect against Bacillus cereus (10.95mm), and a minimum inhibitory activity against E. coli (7.34mm) were shown for acetone extract. Distilled water extract of wild leaf showed highest activity against Enterobacter aerogenes (6.91mm), but lowest activity against P. aeruginosa (4.41mm). For sensitivity of Bacteria to different concentrations of wild, in-vitro plant and antibiotic disc, Ofloxacin antibiotic disc gave higher inhibitory effect against Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In 100mg and 80mg concentration Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Pseudomonas oryzae were highly susceptible at the range of 10.93mm to 15.91mm for 80mg and 100mg concentration. P. oryzea was found to be more susceptible to acetone than ethanol extract. However, the in-vitro leaf extract of acetone was more susceptible compared to wild plant extract.

Abstract:Approach for laparoscopic surgical management of Ectopic Pregnancy(EP) is exemplary. More recent evidence suggests that laparoscopic treatment is the safest and most effective for suitably trained and experienced staff.
Aims and objective: The objective of current study was to evaluate numerous laparoscopic methods for treatment of tubal ectopic pregnancy.
Materials and Methods: A total of 22 patients with EP were enrolled and all were treated with laparoscopic procedure.
Results: Patient’s age was 27 ± 17.68 years. Out of 22 patients, 6 patients were found with EP in isthmus, 12 patients were found with EP in ampullary, 3 patients were found with EP in fimbrial and 1 patient was found with EP in ovarian. Mean post-operative hospital stay in this study was observed 3 ± 2.83 days. Reasons for ruptured EP were due to infertility in 08 patients, tubal surgery in 02 patients, intrauterine devices (Cu-T) in 01 patient, abdomen pelvic tuberculosis in 08 patients and previous ectopic in 03 patients.
Conclusion: With adequate practice and surgical experience in operative endoscopy, most patients with EP possibly treated effectively by laparoscopy regardless of gestation size, location or existence of tubal rupture.
