The continued search for natural antimicrobial substances as curing agents to tackle the scourge of antibiotic resistance was the impetus behind this work. The surface-curing effect of aqueous zobo leaf (Hibiscus sabdariffa) extract on a multidrug-resistant Proteus species pathogen was investigated in this study. With informed consent, 30 high vaginal swab (HVS) samples were randomly collected from selected female students of...

This study examined the relative influence of location and tree morphology on the fatty acid profiles of manually expressed seed (whole seed) and kernel (seed coat removed) oils of Allanblackia parviflora across its natural distribution range in Ghana. Using the same sampling framework as a companion study on oil stability, oils were extracted from seed and kernel materials collected from 157 trees sampled across 16...

Climate change and rapid urban growth are increasingly altering local climatic conditions in cities across the Global South. One important manifestation is the urban heat island (UHI) effect, whereby built-up urban areas experience higher temperatures than surrounding less-developed areas. This study examines the relationship between climate change, urban growth, and rising temperatures in Ikorodu, a rapidly expanding...
