Abstract: Bone marrow examination is a vital study carried out to attain a positive diagnosis of hematological disorders in a resource low income country like Nigeria specifically in Ondo state. Bone marrow is a main spot of hematopoiesis. It is also a major tool used in diagnosis of non-hematological disorders. The main aim of this study is to examine the outcome of bone marrow aspiration in Ondo state. A retrospective 8 years study was carried out between 2012 till 2020 at the University of medical sciences (former Kidney care center, Trauma center and State specialist hospital, Akure) Ondo state. Age, sex, location of patients, bleeding disorders, various indications and diagnosis were analysed using SPSS version 23. A total of 115 bone marrow aspirations were done at University of medical sciences, Ondo. Majority of the patients were male (58.3%) while 41.7% were females. Most are aged above 45 (46.1%). The most common indication was Anaemia specifically the moderate anaemia (52.2%). Commonest diagnostic findings in our study was Leukemia (42%) followed by Megaloblastic anaemia and Multiple myeloma (12.1%). Given the increase in the prevalence of Megaloblastic anaemia and Iron deficiency anemia globally, our study showed high prevalence rate of leukemia specifically chronic myeloid leukemia. The predominance of leukemia among diagnostic findings in our study has been related to the proximity to tertiary health facility. Low number of cases of other diagnostic findings can be due to lack of accessibility to an improved health center especially those in the rural areas and low population of people in the state. Early diagnosis should be done for effective management of these hematological disorders. Good family support and improved health care system with well trained personnel will help in management of the disease.

Abstract: COVID-19 is one of the most relevant pathologies in recent months, becoming one of the most deadly pandemics that the world has faced; Since the detection of the first cases in Wuhan (China) until today, the evolution of those infected has been a bit unpredictable, although without a doubt comorbidities such as Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and Arterial Hypertension (HTN) have been an essential link in fatality of clinical evolutions and the main cause of transfer to intensive care units. A bibliographic analysis was carried out, using the Scielo, Scopus, EBSCO and Google Academic databases, where information was obtained from twenty-two bibliographic references in order to determine the influence of arterial hypertension and diabetes as risk factors in the evolution of patients with covid 19. Patients diagnosed with COVID-19 who have hypertension and diabetes as a personal medical history are more likely to develop complications during the course of the disease and even die. The control and isolation of these patients is of special importance, taking into account the risk posed by presenting these pathologies. The research work carried out in Cuba maintains the control and knowledge of the health personnel of the state of vulnerable patients.

Abstract: The aim at the current study was to determine that essential oils of mastic gum Pistacia khinjuk has some antibacterial activity. The essential oil was obtained with two methods (conventional and microwave method) for obtanining aqeous extract of gum essential oils with some biological activities from Pistacia khinjuk gum of Iraqıan. The analysis of highest essential oil yield of the gum for microwave method was in 200W for 90 min and the lowest yield in 500W for 60 min while in conventional method the highest yield was in 90 min and lowest was in 30 min. obtained from the study made in another laboratory in same university. Moreover, the analysis of physicochemical and phytochemical components of Pistacia khinjuk gum essentials oil by GC-MS in my colleaques’ research in Natural and Applied Sciences field. The main compounds were (+)-α-Pinene, (±)-β-Pinene, D- Limonene and Camphene. The antibacterial activity of essential oil provided by two methods were compared against different species of bacteria. The results of the antimicrobial activity tests (minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and agar-disk diffusion) indicate that essential oils of mastic gum Pistacia khinjuk provided by both methods have higher activity against the tested strains compared to Gentamicin and Ampicilin, confirming its traditional uses. Moreover, mastic gum oil was found to inhibit both gram-positive; Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 15313 and Bacillus cereus ATCC 23456 and gram-negative bacteria; Salmonella enterica NTCT 13, E coli O157:H7 ATCC 35130, Klebsiella pneumonia ATCC 700603 with the exception of Chronobactersakazakii ATCC 29544.
