Background: Surgical androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) to treat advanced prostate cancer can be achieved either by bilateral total orchidectomy (BTO) or bilateral subcapsular orchidectomy (BSCO). However, biochemical and clinical equivalence between BTO and BSCO among native Africans is undocumented.
Objective: To compare the biochemical response (testosterone and prostate specific antigen) in patients who had BTO and BSCO for advanced prostate cancer.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effects of leachate from the Oke-Tage waste dumpsite on groundwater quality by analyzing groundwater and soil samples for various physicochemical and geochemical properties.
- Findings showed that groundwater was contaminated with high levels of Cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb), and physicochemical measurements indicated elevated Electrical Conductivity (EC) and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in the water.
- Although the health risk assessment found no significant risks from metal exposure due to HI values lower than 1, the researchers advised caution in using water from this area for drinking and similar purposes due to overall contamination levels.
This study analysed aeromagnetic and satellite imagery data over parts of northern Nigeria to delineate magnetic and surface lineaments associated with fault system trends. The aeromagnetic data were analysed using the Fast Fourier transform technique for reduction-to-equator, total horizontal derivative, analytic signal amplitude and Euler deconvolution. Landsat-8 OLI and SRTM data have been enhanced using spatial filtering and hill-shading techniques for the delineation of lineament features.

- Prostate cancer is a significant health issue for men globally, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, where it often occurs alongside other cancers, complicating treatment.
- A study examined the medical records of patients from 2012 to 2014, focusing on those with prostate cancer and additional primary tumors, revealing six patients affected by various types of cancers.
- Although the reasons for this co-existence remain unclear, further research may uncover links that could improve patient management.
Outpatient flexible urethrocystoscopy - initial experience at university of ilorin teaching hospital.

Background: Endourology has revolutionized urological practices worldwide. This is not so in many urological centers in the West African sub-region. Although, some centers have made progress in the level of urological services that they offer; many of such centers provide rigid urethrocystoscopy services and only a few centers provide flexible urethrocystoscopy services.
