    Ulcer is one of the world‟s major gastrointestinal disorders affecting a good percentage of the populace in industrialised and developing countries. Plant extracts are some of the most attractive sources of new drugs and have shown promising results for the treatment of gastric ulcer as they possess a variety of natural therapeutic products. This study aimed to look at the effect of combining Anacardium Occidentale and Psidium Guajava on the management of gastric ulcer. The extracts of the leaves of Anacardium occidentale and Psidium guajava were tested in ethanol-induced ulcer models in rats. Oral administration of these plant extracts and reference drug was done for two weeks for 30 male Wistar rats divided into five (5) groups. The treatment with the combination of the extract stock solutions at a dose of 150mg/kg each exhibited a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in gastric volume, 2.1x10-3 mEq/L and ulceration, 2.0±0.26 than the individual extract groups when compared to control 4.0x10-3 mEq/L and 5.2±0.60 respectively while cimetidine at the dose tested had the highest percentage reduction. The efficacy of the extracts presented here confirms that the combination of Anacardium occidentale and Psidium guajava possess better synergistic ulcer healing and gastro protective effects than the individual components. This affirms their efficacy in the management of ulcers

    (Library and Publication Committee, University of Ilorin, 2018) Oladoye, O.D; Uthman, M.M.B; Oladiji, F; Ameen, H.A; Oyabambi, A.O
    The Police force is crucial in the local and national level emergency response through the 21st century and beyond. Emergency preparedness will be viewed as a protective process which encompasses all measures taken before a disastrous event aimed at minimizing the loss of life, disruption of critical services and damage to infrastructure and the environment, enabling governments, communities and individuals to respond rapidly and efficiently to disasters. The study assessed the knowledge, preparedness and response of police personnel towards emergency in Ilorin. A descriptive cross-sectional study of 400 policemen and officers was carried out, utilizing a semi-structured questionnaire in selected police formations. Descriptive and inferential statistics was carried out using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20 with level of significance set at p<0.05. It revealed a higher proportion: 221 (55.2%) of the respondents with average knowledge of emergencies, good level of emergency preparedness: 207 (51.8%) and average level of response to emergencies: 334 (83.5%). The study also showed that worn-out equipment, inadequate facilities and insufficient relevant training were the major challenges that the police force face in emergency preparedness and response activities in Ilorin. The need to constantly train policemen in view of the dynamic and evolving nature of emergencies in Nigeria is therefore advocated. http//www.unilorin.edu.ng/centrepoint Volume 24, No.1, pages 85-100
