In-person vs mobile app facilitated life skills education to improve the mental health of internally displaced persons in Nigeria: protocol for the RESETTLE-IDPs cluster randomized hybrid type 2 effectiveness-implementation trial.

Background: Internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Nigeria face a high burden of mental health disorders, with limited access to evidence-based, culturally relevant interventions. Life skills education (LSE) is a promising approach to promote mental health and psychosocial well-being in humanitarian settings. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of a culturally adapted LSE program delivered through in-person and mobile platforms among IDPs in Northern Nigeria.

A histopathological review of gynaecological malignancies in Katsina state North-Western Nigeria.

Background: Gynaecological cancers, which affect the female genital tract, constitute a significant public health problem, especially in developing countries. Some of these malignancies have known aetiology and premalignant stages making them preventable. Understanding the burden of gynaecological malignancies in our environment will provide baseline information and help form strategies for their control.

Comparative Study of Extrapyramidal Side Effects, Sexual Dysfunctions and Hyperprolactinaemia Using Typical and Atypical Antipsychotic Medications Among Patients with Schizophrenia in Maiduguri.

Background: Extra-pyramidal side effects, sexual dysfunctions and hyperprolactinaemia are major side effects with the use of antipsychotic medications that impede treatment adherence leading to relapse, increased cost of care and rehospitalization among patients with schizophrenia on antipsychotic medications. The study aims to compare the prevalence of extra-pyramidal side effects (EPSE), sexual dysfunctions (SD) and hyperprolactinaemia (HPRL) among patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders on typical and atypical antipsychotic medications. The secondary aim is to determine if any associations exist between extra-pyramidal side effects, sexual dysfunctions and hyperprolactinaemia.

Optimizing Electrodeposition of Polyaniline on Various Woven Steel Mesh Sizes for Enhanced Supercapacitor Performance.

The development of efficient supercapacitors hinges on the innovation of superior electrodes, which are pivotal in augmenting their energy storage capabilities. Supercapacitors, recognized for their high-power density and extended cycle life, play a crucial role as sustainable solutions in addressing energy storage challenges. A fundamental aspect of supercapacitor functionality involves the electrode material, which works in concert with other key components such as the current collector, separator, and electrolyte.

Levels and predictors of knowledge of epilepsy among patients attending the epilepsy clinic of a neuro-psychiatric facility in North-Eastern Nigeria.

Introduction: significant numbers of patients with epilepsy have poor knowledge of their disease. Patients' knowledge of disease is related to their success in coping with the disease and adherence to medication; which is one of the key factors that determined the success of pharmacotherapy in patient with epilepsy. In this study, we evaluate the level of knowledge of epilepsy among patient with Epilepsy in a tertiary mental health care facility.
