STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The recent alarm on rising global incidence of biopsies by the World Health Organisation (WHO) should worry areas prone to gynaecological biopsies. Cancer killed 7.6 million persons in 2008 worldwide, and there is indication that the figure could double to 13 million by 2030 (Jemal et al., 2011). According to WHO, cancer accounts for 13 percent of all deaths registered globally and 70 percent of that figure occurs in middle and low-income countries (WHO, 201...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Due to increase in development of resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobial drugs in recent time, search for plants with antimicrobial activity have gained increasing importance. Globally, the last two decades have witnessed an unprecedented increase of drug resistance by pathogenic organisms as well as the appearance of undesirable side effect of certain antibiotics (Akunyili et al., 1991; Anegbeh et al., 2006). Other limitations of modern chemotherapeutic...

Statement of the Problem
Previous studies have shown that normal pregnancy is associated with profound changes in haematological profile which appears to be pathological in the non-pregnant state (Chandra, 2012), coagulation profile, which may lead to excessive maternal bleeding during delivery (Ibeh et al., 2015) and immunological parameters, which may cause complications in pregnancy (Chatterjee et al., 2014). Studies conducted by Akinbami et al., (2013), showed that in normal pre...

ABSTRACT
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection weakens the immunity of an individual; reduces lymphocyte population, alters cytokine secretion and impairs B and T cell function. The physiological status of pregnant women predisposes them to HIV progression hence the use of HAART for suppressing HIV replication, multiplication and restoration of the immune system. One of the ways to access the immune system is by invitro stimulation assay which specifically determines lymphocy...
