Mature teratomas are benign ovarian tumors, which are generally asymptomatic. They rarely cause ovarian torsion. A typical clinical picture associates an abdominal pain with adnexal sensitivity and palpable mass. The imaging aspect of mature teratoma or dermoid cyst is typical. The ultrasound, CT scan, and the MRI play a crucial role in the diagnosis of adnexal torsion with the ovarian teratoma.

Several historians of science have tried to undermine experiments conducted before and during the Renaissance period. They tend to suggest that some such experiments were not, strictly speaking, scientific experiments. The historians often reduce them to mere trial and error trifles within the occult hermitic or magical tradition. But this paper takes exception to this sort of historical interpretation of scientific experiments conducted within the Renaissance milieu. A milieu deeply rooted in thoroughgoing humanism. The central claim of this paper is that there is no break between the sorts of laboratory experiments conducted in the Renaissance period and those conducted in the modern and contemporary periods. The basic aim, here, is to analyse the experimental design of Paracelsus and re-interpret it in the light of contemporary experimental design in biomedical researches. As it stands, the Paracelsian experimental design holds a lot of ingenuity behind it and showcases Paracelsus as a true mechanistic/Promethean man of experiment. Rather than see Paracelsus as a mere non-interventionist hermitic/alchemical man of nature, one needs to see him as a model experimentalist of all times whose relevance overreaches procreation demand in Africa. The method adopted here is principally that of textual analysis, tinged with the historiographical approach of reconstruction.

Etu field is located along the proximal margin of the Coastal Swamp I depobelt, a subbasin within the Niger Delta clastic wedge formed by margin collapse into underlying undercompacted shale. A Petrophysical framework evaluation for Etu field was constructed by combining data from Seven (7) Well Logs within hundreds of meters thick, define layers of reservoirs and sealing strata formed during episodic progradational and retrogradation of deltaic shorelines. The quality of the reservoirs are moderate to good and in some distal reservoirs, they are excellent. The average porosity values are approximately the same, but have variation in permeability which could be as a result of compaction of older reservoirs on the proximal part of the field. A total of thirty seven (37) reservoirs between 3000-4500 (m) were demonstrated. Sixteen (16) of the reservoirs are oil bearing, Six (6) are gas bearing while Fourteen (14) are water saturated

Water is a very essential product in life and has always been the subject of special attention because of its capital importance in the life of man, in terms of its use or consumption. Hence the need for more studies and research in this vital area. Thus, in the context of this study, we also wanted to pay particular attention to the waters of undeveloped wells which proliferate everywhere in the city of Kisangani and which are often used by the population in case of need during rupture. of drinking water supply by Regideso and especially those who do not yet benefit from this water service in their communities.This study concerns the bacteriological and physico-chemical analysis of the water of the wells of the commune of Mangobo and aims to determine the quality of the waters of these wells. The waters from these two wells (1 and 2) were analyzed in the field and in the laboratory. After analysis and processing of the data, the results proved that, compared to the physico-chemical parameters, these waters were out of standard for temperature (?29.1°C), pH (?6.01) and did not contain chlorine (0). These waters therefore do not undergo any treatment and are true culture media in relation to their temperature. From a microbiological point of view, the water from well 1 is of suspect quality (contains an average of 30,000 total germs per 100 ml and 1,300 total coliforms per 100 ml) and is not given for human consumption, while that from well 2 is of fairly good quality. The contamination of these waters is of strictly human origin, therefore coming from its users.This study underlines the importance of carrying out physico-chemical and microbiological analyzes of well water before any consumption by the population of Mangobo because drinking water must not contain pathogenic microorganisms or toxic substances.

The majority of households in the town halls of Agbangnizoun and Za-Kpota do not have access to drinking water due to the non-existence of drinking water supply. Consequently, the communities of these two town halls use surface waters, traditional wells and cisterns to satisfy their daily needs without any prior treatment. This work was undertaken to assess the physico-chemical quality of these waters. Thus, over two successive years, twelve (12) rivers, eighteen (18) wells, twenty (20) cisterns and two (02) boreholes (witness samples) were sampled in the Districts of the two town halls. The physical parameters such as the pH, the temperature, the turbidity, the rate of dissolved solids (TDS) and the conductivity were measured in situ with a mobile multi-parameter device of the brand HANNA HI 9829 while the colour, the suspended matters (SM), the ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate and sulphate ions are measured in the laboratory by colourimetric method. The data collected were recorded in Excel and then treated with software R. The Student-Newman Keuls test with the significance level of 5% shows that surface waters are more polluted whereas well waters are highly mineralized. The waters consumed by the populations of Agbangnizoun and Za-kpota town halls do not respect drinking water standards.

Pimpri Sandas small village 1560.49 hectares in Haveli Tehsil. The survey of the locality has been done as a part of social activity and making general floristic awareness to the people from conservation point of view. In all total 18 plant species and 10 species of fungi and lichens were reported from which 08 are pure fungi and 02 are lichenised fungi. Basidiomycetous fungi and plants belongs to Fabaceae are found to be dominant in the locality. Some interesting saxicolous species like Caloplaca and Rhizocarpon are commonly found in this area.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by bilateral pulmonary lesions and poor lung compliance. Its basic treatment is mechanical ventilation. However, this last can lead to serious complications, including pulmonary barotrauma. Barotrauma is favored both by the underlying pulmonary pathology and by the use of excessive pressures delivered by the ventilator. The incidence of barotrauma during ARDS no longer exceeds 10% since the advent of tidal volume reduction and plateau pressure limitation.

The main objective of this study was to describe the epidemiological and evolutionary characteristics of children infected by Ferragat (PF) at the pediatric ward level of the Ibn Zohr Hospital in Marrakech over a three-year period from January 2013 to December 2015. 58 cases of (PF) were identified (7.97%) out of 727 cases of poisoning received. Children under one year of age were affected in 94% with a male predominance (70%) from the urban environment and observed in the winter and spring periods. Obstacles related to training, management and practice are among the factors hindering Poisonings by Ferragat care.

The diversity of birds in the Kokolopori Nature Reserve has not yet been the subject of scientific publications. However, a comprehensive knowledge regarding this fauna is necessary to formulate effective conservation strategies. In order to fill the aforementioned knowledge gap, a preliminary avian inventory was conducted within the Kokolopori Nature Reserve (KBNR). The sampling was random and stratified, and the method was mist netting, supplemented by observation at transect points. 69 bird species were recorded, spanning 29 families and 14 orders. Highlights included rare forest specialists like the Congo peacock and African grey parrot - species that rely on intact, primary forest ecosystems. These findings underscore the ecological value of Kokolopori and highlight the need for targeted conservation efforts to protect the Congo Basin’s avian diversity and the integrity of its remaining primary forests. They are of the utmost importance since produced for the first time in an unstudied area targeted for conservation.
