Abstract:
Because of their articulated traits in the preferment of the health of patrons, diets encompassing fruits are exceedingly indorsed. Throughout harvest and/or post-harvest, fruits come in interaction with water, soil, dust, and so many other forms of management. This eventually exposes these fruits to a lot of microorganisms, some of which can be pathogenetic. The current study analysed the bacteriological content of some selected sliced fruits (pineapple, Pawpaw and watermelon) sold in Azare, Bauchi State, Nigeria. The samples were subjected to a variety of physiochemical, microbial and biochemical tests which include determination of temperature and pH, gram staining, catalase, coagulase, indole, and urease tests. Results showed the percentage frequency of the isolated bacteria to be; 26.5 %, 35.2 %, 14.7 %, 23.5 %, for E. coli, Pseudomonas spp, Staphylococcus spp, and Bacillus spp respectively. The most occurring bacterium observed in this study was Pseudomonas spp with the occurrence rate of 35.2 % while Staphylococcus spp and Bacillus spp had the least occurrence rates of 5.0 % and 8.0 % respectively.

Abstract:
The origin of the word hemorrhoid comes from Latin. It is formed by combining the words hem (blood) and roos (flow). Hippocrates is probably the first to use the name of hemorrhoids. Famous doctor revealed that hemorrhoidal bleeding comes from anal veins. The history of hemorrhoid disease draws a simultaneous appearance with the history of humanity. Anal pathologies have found a wide place in papyri written between 1700-1500 BC. Topical treatment is recommended for all anal diseases without specifying the type in the so-called Edwin Smith papyri. In these papiruses it has been reported that the slurry prepared by boiling ground acacia leaves in these papyrus is placed in the anus and a linen pad is placed on the patient, and the patient will recover quickly. When the studies on ethnobotany in Turkey are examined, it will be seen that the people use some plants to treat hemorrhoids with traditional methods. This paper consists of 231 plant taxa which are used for treatment hemorrhoids in the Turkey ethnobotany or traditional medicine. It is expected that this study will contribute to other studies on the subject.

Abstract:
Medicinal and aromatic plants are being used for the treatment of various respiratory ailments by the local peoples since earliest times. Many people in underdeveloped countries rely on their indigenous flora to heal a variety of diseases, including those that impact the respiratory system. Around the world, respiratory disease is a prevalent and significant source of illness and death. Respiratory disorders are a common illness in Turkey. As such respiratory disorders (asthma and bronchitis) are still causing several deaths each year, so phytochemical and pharmacological studies are important in this case. In traditional medicine people rely upon the indigenous and medicinal plant resources to cure different respiratory disorders. It is also important to increase access to traditional medicine, especially in rural areas. Threatened plant taxa, especially endemics need special attention for traditional herbal medicine to be exploited sustainably. In this research we remarked the diversity and importance of medicinal plants used to treat asthma and bronchitis disorders in the traditional health care system of Turkey with some plant taxa. The primary objective of this review was to assemble some available ethno-medicinal data of plants used for asthma and bronchitis, in Turkey. This paper consists of 170 plant taxa which are used for treatment asthma and bronchitis ailments in Turkey ethnobotany or traditional medicine.
