Medial tibial plateau fractures generally present as simple metaphyseal fractures; however, certain cases may present as comminuted articular fractures.Medial and posteromedial anatomical plates have traditionally been used for their management; nevertheless, not all cases can be successfully managed using these implants.We present a comminuted pos

Heavy Metal Contamination of Foods by Refuse Dump Sites in Awka, Southeastern Nigeria
The impact of heavy metals from refuse dumps on soil, food, and water qualities in Awka, Nigeria was studied.Soil samples (top and 1.35 m deep) were collected from five refuse dumps digested with conc.HNO3 and HClO4.The heavy metals (lead, manganese, arsenic, chromium, cadmium, and nickel) in vegetables (spinach, fluted pumpkin), root crop (cocoyam
Parameterisation and application of dynamic energy budget model to sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus
The sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus is an important aquaculture species in China.As global interest in sustainable aquaculture grows, the species has increasingly been used for co-culture in integrated multitrophic aquaculture OSTEOMOVE EX STRENGTH (IMTA).To provide a basis for optimising stocking density in IMTA systems, we parameterised and v
Comparative transcriptomics of tropical woody plants supports fast and furious strategy along the leaf economics spectrum in lianas
Lianas, climbing woody plants, influence the structure and function of tropical forests.Climbing traits have evolved multiple times, including ancestral groups such as gymnosperms and pteridophytes, but the genetic basis of the liana strategy is largely unknown.Here, we use a comparative transcriptomic approach for 47 tropical plant species, includ
