https://ojs.ijemd.com/index.php/BiomedicalCR <p>International Journal of Emerging Multidisciplinaries: Biomedical and Clinical Research (IJEMD-BMCR) publishes research and review articles in the areas of theoretical and experimental studies in all fields of Biomedical Sciences. IJEMD-BMCR is an open access, free publication and peer-reviewed journal. Subscribed users can read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles. Furthermore, there is no Article Processing Charges (APC) for publication of research articles. Authors must submit articles that have not been published elsewhere with a similarity index of less than 20%.</p> <p>The goal of IJEMD-BMCR is to publish original quality research papers that bring together the latest research and development in all areas of BS. IJEMD-BMCR is published based on Continuous Article Publication (CAP) model. All research articles are indexed through unique links using the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) system by CrossRef. Estimated publication timeframe is within 2-4 months.</p> Publishing House International Enterprise en-US International Journal of Emerging Multidisciplinaries: Biomedical and Clinical Research 2957-8620 https://ojs.ijemd.com/index.php/BiomedicalCR/article/view/555 <p>This study focused on the use of Baobab pod fibres as a potential reinforcement material for Low density polyethylene (LDPE) polymer. The fibre reinforced composites were produced using compression moulding at a temperature of 150⁰C for 30 min and a formulation of Baobab pod fibre (BPF) to Low density polyethylene (LDPE) ratios of 10-90 wt%, 20-80 wt%, 30-70 wt% and 40-60 wt% were used respectively. The mechanical properties namely; tensile strength, impact strength, flexural strength and hardness of the composites produced were then investigated. The composite with 10-90 wt% BPF/LDPE ratios was found to have the best mechanical properties with tensile property of 75.72 MPa, Impact strength of 4.46 J/mm², flexural strength of 17.24 MPa and hardness of 26.7 HV. Based on the results obtained, it shows that Baobab pod fibres have excellent properties for use as polymer reinforcement that can be used for various applications.</p> Akilu A. * Abdullahi M.S.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of transportation on chemical and microbiological status of frozen imported fish purchased in Wukari markets, Taraba State. Proximate composition analysis and microbial assays were conducted. The highest protein content was recorded in frozen marine fish samples from Marmara market, followed by New market and Old market respectively. The bacterial count in New market was 1.94 x 104, Old market it was 0.97 x 104, and Marmara market was 1.1 x 103. The fungal count in New market was 5.0 x 103, Old market it was 4.0103, and Marmara market was 4.1 x 103. <em>Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, </em>and<em> E. coli</em> were isolated from both New market and Old market, with a percentage occurrence of 37.50%; however, <em>E. coli </em>and<em> S. aureus</em> were present in Marmara market with a percentage occurrence of 25%. Nonetheless, the results obtained from the sampled fish species fell within a safe range for human consumption.</p> Muhammad Sani Abdullahi * Naziru Dahiru Abdulrazak Akilu Umar Dalhatu Abdurrahman Isa Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Emerging Multidisciplinaries: Biomedical and Clinical Research 2026-01-04 2026-01-04 4 1 13 13 10.54938/ijemdbmcr.2026.04.1.554
