The determination of phenolic acids’ and flavonoids’ content in daily food rations (DFRs) of a selected group of male and female students and the development of chromatographic conditions is the primary goal of the study. The presence of 7 phenolic components were confirmed in the prepared extracts from all diets reconstructed within a period of 3 years. The highest concentrations were determined for hesperidin (124 and 55.6 mg for women and men, respectively), naringin (47.6 mg in female and 37 mg in male diets) and chlorogenic acid (19.7 and 19.8 mg for women and men). The antioxidant potential of the daily food rations, measured with a DPPH test, was higher for women (range 47.1‒78.8%) than for men (range 34.5‒78.0%) and was found to strongly correlate with the total phenolics content of the samples (Folin-Ciocalteu test) (correlation coefficient 0.90).

The populations of microorganisms that exist around the roots of plantain in the various farm locations across Toru Orua metropolis of Bayelsa, Nigeria are different due to difference in ecological locations. This paper assessed the different microorganisms in the Rhizosphere region of the sample plantain. Roots samples collected in University of Africa Toru-Orua (UAT) farm, Angalabiri farm and Koroye farm contain high population of bacteria compared to other Area in Toru-orua. In those locations where we have higher population of microorganisms like UAT farm, Angalabirir farm and Koroye farm, there was evidence of good nutrition in those locations. So, microorganisms in essence characteristically enhance the nutrition of plants Nitrobacter winogradkyi was found in roots samples collected in UAT, Angalabiri and Koroye farm due to the presence of cover crops around the plantain. These varieties of fungi were also isolated. The fungal population follows the same trend. They include aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus. These are the largest of all microorganisms in the soil. Others were Rhizobium, Nitrobacter, Winogradkyl, Azomona argillis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Practices that would enhance nutrition of the plants and the proliferation of bacteria and fungi around the roots of plantain are recommended such as organic matter accumulation in form of green manuring, zero tillage and non-use of chemicals and burning.

We perform an update about nutritional measures that have been adopted in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). The nutritional support is an essential part of treatment in AP. When the AP is mild or moderate, there is no doubt that is not necessary to use an artificial nutritional support, and it is recommended that oral nutritional support should begin as soon as possible. If the AP is severe, the best way to provide nutritional support is through enteral nutritional (EN) because it reduces infection, length of hospitalization and mortality rate. Parenteral nutrition (PN) should be used only when EN is Impossible. However, there is no scientific evidence for recommending the most optimal route necessary to administer this type of nutritional support; we seek to uncover whether this is by gastric or jejunal route and the proper formula to use. There is an international agreement that the nutritional support should begin quickly, within the first 24 and 72 hours of hospitalization. As conclusion, more research needs to be done concerning nutritional support in AP, and many questions are not been answered yet.

The most common form of dementia in the elderly population is Alzheimer’s disease (AD). World Health Organization (WHO) thus defines Alzheimer’s disease: “a set of neurodegenerative brain symptoms, resulting in progressive impairment of memory, thinking, cognition, counting, language, ability to learn and assessing situations, which disturb everyday life”. It usually develops in 65+-yearolds, and the risk of AD in 85+-year-olds is as high as 50%. It has become a considerable threat to the society, given the longer life expectancy and an increase in the retirement-aged population. AD prevention and treatment methods described in this paper are still being developed and perfected. Studies on genesis of the disease aim at comprehensive understanding of its causes. New, alternative treatment methods are still sough. Researchers develop and test biomarkers that could facilitate early diagnosis.

The quantity and quality of these constituent may not usually be the same under certain conditions, so fruits sold in Owerri where heavy pollutant abound were analysed, three samples of each water melon, Pawpaw, pineapple and orange fruits were bought from Owerri commercial centre and their juices extracted and stored in screw cap bottles prior to analysis. The physiochemical parameters revealed that fruits were of good quality but showed positive and negative significant relationship correlation ships such as pH-FW (0.958), pH-SG (-0.025), TS-MC (-0.999), TA-FW (-0.987). Vitamin C content ranged from 13.14 ± 0.39 mg/100g to 75.46 ±1.72 mg/100g for water melon and orange respectively. In conclusion, fruits studied showed good quality and a good source of vitamin C and mineral content. Such analysis needs to be carried out periodically to ensure quality and create awareness to the public.
