A systematic review on COVID-19 pandemic with special emphasis on curative potentials of Nigeria based medicinal plants
No full textDespite the frightening mortality rate associated with COVID-19, there is no known approved drug to effectively combat the pandemic. COVID-19 clinical manifestations include fever, fatigue, cough, shortness of breath, and other complications. At present, there is no known effective treatment or vaccine that can mitigate/inhibit SARS-CoV-2. Available clinical intervention for COVID-19 is only palliative and limited to support. Thus, there is an exigent need for effective and non-invasive treatment. This article evaluates the possible mechanism of actions of SARS-CoV-2 and present Nigeria based medicinal plants which have pharmacological and biological activities that can mitigate the hallmarks of the pathogenesis of COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 mode of actions includes hyper-inflammation characterized by a severe and fatal hyper-cytokinaemia with multi-organ failure; immunosuppression; reduction of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) to enhance pulmonary vascular permeability causing damage to the alveoli; and further activated by open reading frame (ORF)3a, ORF3b, and ORF7a via c-Jun N- terminal kinase (JNK) pathway which induces lung damage. These mechanisms of action of SARS-CoV-2 can be mitigated by a combination therapy of medicinal herbs based on their pharmacological activities. Since the clinical manifestations of COVID-19 are multifactorial with co-morbidities, we strongly recommend the use of combined therapy such that two or more herbs with specific therapeutic actions are administered to combat the mediators of the disease.Fil: Oladele, Johnson O..

Effects of a pathogenic canine herpesvirus on canine brain cell cultures and cerebellar expiants
No full textExamination over a period of 72 hours from inoculation showed that lesions developed first in astrocytes. where nucleolar changes. the appearance of three types of inclusion bodies, virus antigen and virus particles preceded cell degeneration and virus release. Less numerous inclusions were found in oligodendrocytes, but none in neurones, although these were irreversibly damaged. The in-vitro results obtained agree closely with other in-vivo studies on the course of the disease.-MRC..Source type: Electronic(1) http://upei-resolver.asin-risa.ca?sid=SP:CABI&id=pmid:&id=&issn=&isbn=&volume=&issue=&spage=97&pages=97-113&date=1970&title=Acta%20neuropath&atitle=Effects%20of%20a%20pathogenic%20canine%20herpesvirus%20on%20canine%20brain%20cell%20cultures%20and%20cerebellar%20expiants.&aulast=Johnson&pid=%3Cauthor%3EJohnson%2c%20G%20R%3bKoestner%2c%20A%3bKindig%2c%20O%3bLong%2c%20J%20F%3C%2Fauthor%3E%3CAN%3E19702204833%3C%2FAN%3E%3CDT%3EJournal%20article%3C%2FDT%3

Author Doug Melville’s multigenerational biography presents the little-known story of his family and two of its military veterans who always believed in the American dream—Brigadier General Benjamin O. Davis Sr., the first Black US Army general, and his son, General Benjamin O. Davis Jr., the first Black US Air Force brigadier general. Dr. Wylie W. Johnson reviewed the book because he was so impressed when he heard then–Brigadier General Benjamin O. Davis Jr. speak in chapel at his evangelical college.

O artigo trata das
razões que levaram o Partido<span

papel da repressão política desencadeada<span

ressalta os fatores internos<span
style="font-weight: normal;"> que tornaram
possível o enfraquecimento gradativo<span
style="font-weight: normal;"> dos Panteras Negras. O autor
argumenta que as
disputas intrapartidárias, erros estratégicos e o<span
style="font-weight: normal;"> culto à
personalidade constituem elementos até então<span
style="font-weight: normal;"> pouco explorados na
análise da experiência do BPP. Os<span

principais fases do Partido,<span
style="font-weight: normal;"> desde sua
criação, em 1966, até a
extinção, em<span
style="font-weight: normal;"> 1982, são
analisados à luz da teoria da elite, segundo<span
style="font-weight: normal;"> a qual as

à

The article deals with the reasons that led to the
decline of the BPP - Black Panthers Party. It analyzes the role of the
political repression triggered by the FBI and highlights the internal
factors that led to the Black Panthers’ gradual weakness. The
author states that the disputes within the party that turned Panthers
against one another, the strategic errors and the cult to the
personality were not properly taken into consideration in analyzing the
BPP experience at that time. The facts that stressed the four main
stages of the Party, from its creation in 1966 up to its extinction in
1982, are reviewed in view of the “theory of the
elite”,
according to which the political organizations may tend to an
oligarchic process that concentrates power, information, knowledge and
competency with a small group of leaders.
KEY WORDS: Black Panthers, social movements, Huey P. Newton, elite,
black organizations

Effects of a pathogenic canine herpesvirus on established thyroid adenoearanoma cell cultures
No full textEarly lesions in these cultures (3-10 hours after virus inoculation) consisted of nucleolar sweating and disruption; there was loss of RNA from the nucleo-lus and segregation of nueleolar components (demonstrated by electron microscopy). During the middle phase (10-34 hours) three types of eosinophilic intranuclear inclusion appeared; the inclusions seemed to be formed by progressive transformations. Viral antigen was demonstrated in the nucleus by immuno-fluorescent staining, with viral replication observed at the same time by electron microscope. The late phase (34-72 hours) was manifested by cellular degeneration and viral release into the cytoplasm..Source type: Electronic(1) http://upei-resolver.asin-risa.ca?sid=SP:CABI&id=pmid:&id=&issn=&isbn=&volume=&issue=&spage=289&pages=289-308&date=1969&title=Pathologia%20vet&atitle=Effects%20of%20a%20pathogenic%20canine%20herpesvirus%20on%20established%20thyroid%20adenoearanoma%20cell%20cultures.&aulast=Johnson&pid=%3Cauthor%3EJohnson%2c%20G%20R%3bKoestner%2c%20A%3bKindig%2c%20O%3bShad%20duck%2c%20J%20A%3C%2Fauthor%3E%3CAN%3E19702201709%3C%2FAN%3E%3CDT%3EJournal%20article%3C%2FDT%3

Identifying idiolect in forensic authorship attribution: an n-gram textbite approach
No full textForensic authorship attribution is concerned with identifying authors of disputed or anonymous documents, which are potentially evidential in legal cases, through the analysis of linguistic clues left behind by writers. The forensic linguist “approaches this problem of questioned authorship from the theoretical position that every native speaker has their own distinct and individual version of the language [. . . ], their own idiolect” (Coulthard, 2004: 31). However, given the diXculty in empirically substantiating a theory of idiolect, there is growing concern in the Veld that it remains too abstract to be of practical use (Kredens, 2002; Grant, 2010; Turell, 2010). Stylistic, corpus, and computational approaches to text, however, are able to identify repeated collocational patterns, or n-grams, two to six word chunks of language, similar to the popular notion of soundbites: small segments of no more than a few seconds of speech that journalists are able to recognise as having news value and which characterise the important moments of talk. The soundbite oUers an intriguing parallel for authorship attribution studies, with the following question arising: looking at any set of texts by any author, is it possible to identify ‘n-gram textbites’, small textual segments that characterise that author’s writing, providing DNA-like chunks of identifying material
