Spring 2015: 2004 Grad With Nigerian Team in Challenging Conjoined Twins Surgery
Get PDFThe “2004 Grad With Nigerian Team in Challenging Conjoined Twins Surgery” article from St. Norbert College Magazine’s Spring 2015 issue honors Dr. Oluyemisi Fowode-Adeyemi ’04 for her role in a landmark 26-hour surgery to separate conjoined twins at Texas Children’s Hospital. As part of a 24-member team—including three U.S.-based Nigerian doctors—Fowode-Adeyemi contributed her expertise as a pediatric and adolescent gynecologist. The article highlights the international recognition of the team’s work, the complexity of the procedure, and Fowode-Adeyemi’s deep sense of purpose and faith, reflecting the impact of St. Norbert alumni in global medical advancements.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/snc_magazine_archives_2013-2018/1248/thumbnail.jp

The Culture Specific Application of Sound in Nigerian Video Movies
No full textNigerian video movies an important urban popular culture, have in recent times become a major object of attraction in terms of artistry, patronage and socio-economic values. The success of this industry could not have been complete without the inputs from scriptwriters, actors, film makers sound engineers and the musicians, who supply the needed music. This paper critically examines the use of sound( both musical and non musical) in Nigeria's video based movie industry, with a view to identifying its nature and functionality vis-à-vis the culture milieu. The need for relevant music led to the rise of video movie music composers like Tope Alabi and Shola Allison. The culture specific character of sound in the movies generally include background score, dialogue, songs, noise, sound expressing emotion and silence. However, there is still need to improve the sound quality of the movies by employing veritable sound designers.

Inorganic nanoparticles kill Toxoplasma gondii via changes in redox status and mitochondrial membrane potential
Get PDFOluyomi Stephen Adeyemi,1,2 Yuho Murata,1 Tatsuki Sugi,1 Kentaro Kato1 1National Research Center for Protozoan Diseases, Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, Obihiro, Japan; 2Medicinal Biochemistry and Toxicology Laboratory, Department of Biological Sciences, Landmark University, Omu-Aran, Nigeria Abstract: This study evaluated the anti-Toxoplasma gondii potential of gold, silver, and platinum nanoparticles (NPs). Inorganic NPs (0.01–1,000 µg/mL) were screened for antiparasitic activity. The NPs caused >90% inhibition of T. gondii growth with EC50 values of ≤7, ≤1, and ≤100 µg/mL for gold, silver, and platinum NPs, respectively. The NPs showed no host cell cytotoxicity at the effective anti-T. gondii concentrations; the estimated selectivity index revealed a ≥20-fold activity toward the parasite versus the host cell. The anti-T. gondii activity of the NPs, which may be linked to redox signaling, affected the parasite mitochondrial membrane potential and parasite invasion, replication, recovery, and infectivity potential. Our results demonstrated the antiparasitic potential of NPs. The findings support the further exploration of NPs as a possible source of alternative and effective anti-T. gondii agents. Keywords: antiparasite, drug screening, nanomedicine, toxoplasmosi

On the estimation of the black-capped vireo (Vireo atricapillus) territory density using geographic information systems technology, 1996
Get PDFThis study is based on a 1994 survey of the nesting and territory preferences of the black-capped vireo, a small migratory songbird, within Fort Hood, Texas. By Federal Government Order 51 FR 44808-44812 of 1987 (Tazik et al., 1992), these birds were declared an endangered species based on a series of studies by J. D. Cornelius in 1985 and 1986 (Tazik et al., 1993). In this study, it has been shown that the vireo nesting and territory preferences are not uniform across Fort Hood installation grounds, rather the preference is towards the north to northwest. The vegetation in this region consists of oak woodlands, with grassy undergrowth; the elevation is at most 260 meters above sea level; and the geology yields loose and chalky limestone. In addition, the territory intensity, ?ij(s), for each point s(x,y) in the ijth grid cell on the military installation, has been estimated. For each such grid cell, the probability of a successful territory is given by Geographic Information Systems (GIS) raster color maps of territory distribution of the vireo have been produced. These maps were overlaid on the slope, aspect, soils, elevation, vegetation, and military activities coverages. With the density estimate of nesting success and the GIS maps, territory position preferences were identified, thus, helping in the Land Management Plan for the preservation of the black-capped vireo on the Fort Hood Military Installation
