Item Hematological prediction study of peritonitis following laparotomy in goats(THE JAPANESE SOCIETY OF VETERINARY SCIENCE, 2020-03-24) ALIMI, O.A.; ABDULWAHAB, W.F.; AMID, S.A.; ABDULKADIR, S.Z.; LAWAL, F.M.; ALIYU, A.; ADEDIRAN, S.O.; AJADI, A.A.; BOLAJI, M.; UTHMAN, H.O.; ADEYANJU, J.B.Surgical trauma to the abdominal wall and peritoneum during celiotomy is expected to cause postoperative inflammation. However, complications after abdominal surgery are hardly detected in the early stage. Hematological analysis of blood has been considered beneficial in disease diagnosis and prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate the hematological parameters predicting peritonitis in goats and to determine the post-surgery day that hematology is significant. Six apparently healthy West African Dwarf goats were included in this study. After 2 weeks of acclimatization, blood samples were obtained daily for 3 days for hematological analyses, which served as the baseline data. The right flanks of the animals were aseptically prepared routinely for exploratory laparotomy. Restraint and anesthesia were achieved using xylazine and lignocaine using an inverted “L” block technique. Laparotomy was performed, and the incision was left for 20 min and then closed routinely. Blood samples were collected for hemogram 24 hr postoperatively and daily for 7 days. Based on the post-surgery hematology results, relative neutrophil (P=0.015) and lymphocyte (P=0.006) counts significantly increased and decreased on day 5 respectively. Significant differences were also observed for red blood cell count, hemoglobin concentration, and packed cell volume on days 5, 6, and 7 respectively. It could therefore be concluded that the diagnostic result for hematology post-laparotomy can be obtained on the fifth and sixth dayItem LIBRARIANS’ AWARENESS OF INFORMATION ETHICS IN SERVICE DELIVERY IN PRIVATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES IN OSUN STATE, NIGERIA(Faculty of Arts, Lead City University, Ibadan, 2022) JACOB, P.A.; OGUNJIMI, T.; ALIYU, A.Information evolution with advancement in information technological tools has increased the risk of librarians upholding the professional code of ethics. The present study aims at ascertaining the level of librarians’ awareness of ethics of information for service delivery and identifying the ethical issues in information service delivery among librarians in private Universities, specifically, Osun State. The study adopted a survey design while questionnaire was administered to 81 librarians in the 15 private universities. Data was analyzed using frequency distribution. The study revealed increasing consciousness of professionals on intellectual property rights, information accuracy, confidentiality, and privacy, as ethics of information to be ensured when delivering services. However, challenges such as equity in access to and use of information, issues of copyright, plagiarism, and providing accurate information were identified to impede effective information service delivery. Thus, increasing awareness on the need for librarians to be guided by information ethics, through training and local policies is recommended.
