The present study was conducted to evaluate the suitability of date seed powder for preparation of churan and to studysensory characteristics and nutrient composition. The powder of seeds obtained from four varieties of date fruit, namely Hillawi, Khadrawi, Medjool and Shamran were used for preparation ofchuran.Three types of churan were prepared: Type-I churan was prepared by using 5% seed powder, Type-II by 10% seed powder and Type-III by using 15% seed powder. It was observed that churan prepared from seed powder of all the varieties were acceptable in terms of all the sensory characteristics, however the scores were higher in Type-I churan as compared to Type-IIand Type-III churan.Thefindings of the study showed that churan prepared from seed powder of khadrawi variety was highly acceptable. The nutrient composition revealed that there was a non-significant (P≤0.05) difference in the crude protein and fat content of churan prepared using seed powder of all the varieties of date fruit.Crude fiber content was highest in churan of Khadrawi variety (9.75%) followed by churan of Hillawi variety (9.27%), churan of Shamran variety (8.71%), churan of Medjool variety (8.23%) and control churan (7.04%). There was non-significant (P≤0.05) difference observed in the ash content of the churan prepared using seed powder of different varieties of date fruit.

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is an insidious chronic scarring disease of the oral cavity and occasionally affects the pharynx. Knowing the clinical and histopathological features of OSMF helps the patients in giving the better prognosis. As there are several classifications published in the literature based on the clinical and histopathological features, here we have taken a chance to put all the classifications under one roof which would be easy for the post graduates, clinicians, surgeons and pathologists in revising this lesion. We had even attempted a newer classification for OSMF which is the mixture of the other classifications and is important as it would give the gist of all other classifications published in the literature.

This study investigated the determinants of income diversification among rural households in Surulere Local Government Area, Oyo State. To achieve this main objective, the study examined the socio-economic characteristics of the household, identified the determinants of income diversification among rural household, investigated the reasons for income diversification in rural areas and determined the constraints to engagement in income diversification. A sequential multistage sampling technique was employed and a mixed method of both descriptive and inferential statistical tools was used in analyzing the data to achieve the objectives of the study. Primary data was collected from the respondents through the administration of a well structured interview schedule. The information collected was based on the stated objectives of the study. The findings of the study revealed that the mean age was calculated as 49 and 60% of the respondents were male. Also, 51.1% of the respondents were practicing Islam while 63.3% of them were married and 56.7% of the respondents had between 1-5 members in their households. Below half (36.7%) of the respondents had completed Secondary education and 57.2% of the respondents were engaged in farming activities as their major occupation. Most (66.7%) of the respondents employed the use of hired labour on the farm from which 44.4% of the respondents were children. The findings also revealed that the mean income was #30,566.67 and 95.6% of the respondents agreed that the major reason for diversifying their income was to provide a means to survive when the major income is not sufficient. Also, 98.9% of the respondents agreed that increased income was the major determinant of income diversification while lack of credit facility was a major constraint to income diversification WMS = (2.62). The result of findings further shows that household income diversification was influenced by the age (-.038), gender (.049), marital status (-.028*) at 5% level of significance and household size (-.074**) at 10% while 50% of household income diversification was explained by the determinants of income diversification in the regression model. The study therefore recommends that provision of credit facilities should be made available and improved access to markets should be provided in the study area to promote income diversification and increase rural income.

Background The present study investigate the impact of the occupation and family structure on marital. Hypothesized the, better marital adjustment in nuclear family for working women and poor marital adjustment in joint family for working women. Better marital adjustment in joint family for non- working women and poor marital adjustment in joint family for non-working women. A better economic resource leads to better marital life and resultantly improves the quality of marital adjustment. Methods Sample of the study considered of 32 married women. The first sample of 16 working women was drawn which was further dived into, living in nuclear family system (n=8) and joint family system (n=8). The sample of 16 non-working women was drawn which was equally divided in nuclear family (n=8) and joint family system (n=8). Result Results shows the no significant difference between marital adjustment, occupation and family structure so the our hypothesis (better marital adjustment in nuclear family for working and poor marital adjustment in joint family for working women, better marital adjustment in joint family for non-working women and poor marital adjustment in joint family for non-working women and economic resources leads to better marital life and resultantly improves the quality of marital adjustment) reject.

Background Much psychiatric co-morbidity still go un-noticed or unrecognized by the attending physician and referral seemed to be related to the severity of illness or previous history of psychiatric illness. Objective This study therefore attempts to examine various issues of consultation- liaison psychiatry in a Nigerian Teaching Materials and Methods A proforma was used to record issues such as referral pattern, communication process and intervention by the referring team and final disposal. Subjects were all inpatients in non-psychiatric wards of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, Nigeria for which consultation was sought over a 6-month period. A detailed psychiatry interview was done by using the structured clinical interview according to DSM IV to generate AXIS I diagnosis. Results A total of seventeen patients were referred over the 6 months study period. This gives a referral rate of 1.8%. The mean age was 39.5+19.3yrs and more females 10 (58.8) were seen during the study period than males 7 (41.2%). The commonest diagnosis made was organic brain syndrome in 11 (64.7%). Most of the patients, 11 (64.7%), were seen within 24 hours. Three (17.3%) were actually transferred to the psychiatry ward, 4(23.5%) died on admission while final disposal of other patients were not known. Conclusion There is need for earlier detection of psychiatric morbidity associated with physical illness so that referral in the early stage can be undertaken.
