The increased clinical state of malaria infection may be due to poor nutritional status most especially as a result of micronutrients deficiency. Micronutrients play vital role both in combating anaemia and other adverse effects of malaria infection in humans and animals in developing resistance against the disease. This research was aimed at establishing the effect of malaria parasite on neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio and some essential plasma electrolytes (calcium, magnesium and iron) as well as vitamins (vitamin B12 and folate) of children. Ethical approval was gotten from ministry of Health, Benin City, Edo State. Test group was recruited from the paediatric ward of Central Hospital, Benin City.

This project entails the design construction and test evaluation of an energy efficient go-cart engine and transmission system. A target of 100km/l of fuel is set, having the knowledge that weight plays a major role in the efficiency of any vehicle using internal combustion engines; and also the aerodynamics of the vehicle body design is equally important as well. Aluminium profiles are used to construct and fabricate the chassis while wooden board is used for floor covering. Care is taken to reduce any excessive weights by cutting off parts that do not contribute to the structural integrity of the vehicle or which its contribution is highly negligible.

Heavy metals include both non-toxic and toxic elements. Iron (Fe), Cobalt (Co) Copper (Cu) Manganese (Mn) Molybdenum (Mo) and Zinc (Zc) Magnesium(Mg) are the trace elements and are required in a very minute amount, whereas other metals are non-essential, toxic to animals and even fatal when accumulated these metals includes; Mercury (Hg), Arsenic (As), Lead (Pb) Plutonium (Pu), Vanadium (v), Tungsten (w) and Cadmium (Cd), (Deevikaet al., 2012).

Clinical features similar to diabetes mellitus were described about 3000 years ago by the Third Dynasty Physicians of ancient Egyptian decent. The term "diabetes" was first coined by a Greek doctor known as Araetus of Cappodocia (81-133AD). Later, the word mellitus (honey sweet) was added by Thomas Willis, a British in 1675 after rediscovering the sweetness of urine and blood of patients, first noticed by the scholars of both ancient Indian and Chinese decent. It was only in 1776 that Mathew Dobson an English doctor first confirmed the presence of excess sugar in urine and blood as a cause of their sweetness. In modern time, the history of diabetes coincided with the emergence of experimental medicine. An important milestone in the history of diabetes in 1857 by the French scientist Claude Bernard is the establishment of the role of the liver in glycogenesis, and the concept that diabetes is due to excess glucose production.

Natural product derived from plants has remained central to traditional medicine and has helped serve as sources of new drugs with good therapeutic effect and low toxicity. Unfortunately, the sleeping giant of pharmaceutical industrystill has several of thousands of plants species yet to be investigated for their phytoconstituents and invariably, their biological potentials(Hambuger and Hostetham, 1991). Therefore, the need for continuous search into the phytochemicals or such plants cannot be undermined. Nauclea latifolia is a shrub or small tree native to tropical Africa. The leaves are glabrous, opposite, rounded-ovate, glossy green with tufts of hairs. The fruits are usually fleshy, shallow-pitched, with numerous and brownish with a pleasant taste but could be emetic if taken in excess (wu,1993).

Gastrointestinal parasitic infections (GIPI’s) enjoy a wide global distribution. They are estimated to affect 3.5 billion people, most of whom are children residing in developing countries (WHO 2000). The major intestinal parasitic infection of global public health concern are the protozoal species Entamoebahistolytica and Giardia intestinalis and the soil transmitted helminthes Ascarislumbricoides, Trichuristrichiura, and hookworm (WHO l999;WHO 2000). The incidence and prevalence of these parasitic pathogens varies both between and within countries.
