Introduction: given the significant disruption in educational activities during the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainties about the post-pandemic future, coupled with increasing demand for the healthcare workforce, e-learning may bridge the gap in training medical students. It was imperative to survey the perception and readiness of the trainers on the use of e-learning for undergraduate medical training in Nigeria.
Methods: this cross-sectional study was conducted among teachers of medical students in Nigeria.

Herein, the design and fabrication of an anticancer nanoplatform (LBG/PRA-NG) based on locust bean gum-stabilized nanogold and functionalized with Phyllanthus reticulatus anthocyanins was described. LBG/PRA-NG was prepared in an eco-friendly, one-pot approach at room temperature, mediated by the anthocyanins and gum as bio-reductant and stabilizer, respectively. The nanostructure was elaborately characterized by FESEM, TEM, UV-visible, DLS, Zeta potential, FTIR, XRD, TGA/DTG, and XPS analysis.

- Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) is a frequent complication following treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis, particularly in tuberculosis-endemic regions like Nigeria, where monitoring for CPA is lacking.
- A study conducted in Lagos from June 2021 to May 2022 assessed 141 patients previously treated for tuberculosis, revealing a significant increase in CPA cases over time, with an overall prevalence of 49.7% and an incidence rate of 6.1%.
- The findings highlight the importance of recognizing CPA as a common outcome of tuberculosis treatment, urging healthcare providers to incorporate CPA evaluations into tuberculosis patient care.
Background: Anemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and has been shown to worsen as CKD advances. CKD negatively impacts patients' health-related quality of life. It is therefore necessary to determine the impact of anemia on the quality of life in patients with CKD.
