Objective: This study explores and describes the lived experiences of postpartum women of Obstetric Violence (OV) in selected secondary health facilities in Oyo State, Nigeria.
Methods: The study utilized a qualitative research design. A purposive sampling technique was used to recruit thirty participants for the study.
Objective: To describe midwife leaders' (i.e., midwives in managerial positions) perspectives on the forms of obstetric violence (OV) women experience in hospitals in Nigeria.

The midwifery service managers, as custodians of patient care in maternity centres are in a prime position to develop and implement effective obstetric violence prevention interventions. This study explored the midwifery service managers' level of readiness for the prevention of Obstetric Violence in three maternity centres at three separate hospitals in Oyo State, Nigeria.

Impact of polyethylene microplastics exposure on kallikrein-3 levels, steroidal-thyroidal hormones, and antioxidant status in murine model: protective potentials of naringin.
Sci Rep
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- Microplastics, particularly polyethylene microplastics (PE-MPs), are prevalent environmental pollutants that can adversely affect human and animal health, particularly disrupting hormone levels and antioxidant defenses.
- A study on male Wistar rats showed that PE-MPs exposure significantly altered hormonal parameters (increased kallikrein-3, decreased testosterone and thyroid hormones) and negatively impacted antioxidant enzyme activities.
- Naringin (NAR), a compound explored for its therapeutic potential, demonstrated the ability to normalize these hormonal disruptions and enhance antioxidant defenses, indicating its potential as a protective agent against damage caused by microplastics.
