Psychiatric morbidities and Quality of Life Among Surgically Treated Noma Survivors. Preliminary observations in Nigerian cohorts.
J Stomatol Oral Maxillofac Surg
March 2025
Introduction: Facial disfigurement, a sequelae of Noma, has the potential to impact the mental and social well-being of survivors, predisposing them to psychiatric morbidities and low health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The aim of the study is to determine the psychiatric morbidities and QoL among Noma patients in Nigeria.
Material And Methods: A total of 41 participants were recruited and sociodemographic data were collected.
Introduction: Childhood pneumonia is a leading cause of child mortality in Nigeria and poor quality of care is a persistent issue. We aimed to understand whether introducing primary care stabilisation rooms equipped with pulse oximetry and oxygen systems alongside healthcare worker (HCW) training improved the quality of care for children with pneumonia in Lagos State.
Methods: : Ikorodu local government area, Lagos.
Nasal Corticosteroid Delivery Methods in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Polyps: A Systematic Review.
Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
February 2025
Objective: This systematic review evaluates and compares the efficacy and safety of different intranasal corticosteroid delivery methods for treating chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).
Data Sources: Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PubMed, and Web of Science were systematically searched from January 1, 1980 to January 9, 2024.
Review Methods: Two independent reviewers searched 4 databases for English-language, prospective randomized controlled trials (RCT), comparing different delivery methods of corticosteroids for the treatment of CRSwNP.
Background: Titration of oxygen therapy to target safe oxygen saturation (SpO) values is a vital part of care for preterm infants, but is difficult to achieve, particularly in settings in which oxygen, monitoring technology, and human resources are scarce. We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of automated titration of oxygen therapy partnered with a low-cost continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device versus manual oxygen control in preterm infants requiring CPAP in a high-mortality, low-resource setting.
Methods: In this open-label, randomised, crossover trial, preterm infants with a gestational age younger than 34 weeks (or a birthweight <2 kg if gestation was unknown) who were aged 12 h or older and required CPAP and oxygen were recruited at two hospitals in southwest Nigeria.
Level of knowledge, and risk perception of mpox disease among primary healthcare workers in Nigeria: a cross-sectional study of Jigawa, Oyo and Lagos States.
Pan Afr Med J
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- A study in Nigeria examined primary healthcare workers' knowledge and perception of mpox, noting limited research on the topic despite rising cases from 2017 to 2022.
- The survey assessed knowledge across various areas, revealing that while 78.3% were aware of mpox, understanding of its transmission was notably low, especially in Lagos compared to other regions.
- Most healthcare workers recognized that mpox could affect anyone, but nearly half felt that they couldn't protect themselves from it, highlighting gaps in knowledge and perceived vulnerability.
