Benign breast disease and breast cancer risk in African women: a case-control study.

Purpose: To examine the association between benign breast disease (BBD) and breast cancer (BC) in a heterogeneous population of African women.

Methods: BC cases and controls were enrolled in three sub-Saharan African countries, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Uganda, between 1998 and 2018. Multivariable logistic regression was used to test the association between BBD and BC.

Chest X-ray Features in Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis Patients in Nigeria; a Retrospective Record Review.

Chest X-ray (CXR) characteristics of patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) depend on a variety of factors, and therefore, identifying the influence of these factors on the appearance of DR-TB in chest X-rays can help physicians improve diagnosis and clinical suspicion. Our aim was to describe the CXR presentation of patients with DR-TB and its association with clinical and demographic factors. A retrospective analysis of the CXRs of DR-TB patients in Nigeria between 2010 and 2016 was performed, reviewing features of chest radiographs, such as cavitation, opacity and effusion, infiltration and lung destruction.

A RARE CASE OF PREPERITONEAL ABSCESS IN A NIGERIAN FEMALE: ULTRASOUND DIAGNOSIS AND PERCUTANEOUS CATHETER DRAINAGE.

A preperitoneal abscess is an uncommon manifestation of extraperitoneal collection. We present a case of an anterior abdominal wall preperitoneal abscess in a 30-year-old Nigerian female with abdominal pain and purulent abdominal wall discharge ten days after an initial admission for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. This report underscores the role of ultrasound in diagnosis and follow-up and percutaneous ultrasound-guided continuous percutaneous catheter drainage and management of an extraperitoneal abscess.

A 5-YEAR REVIEW OF ULTRASONOGRAPHIC EVALUATION OF OCULAR DISEASES AT THE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE HOSPITAL IBADAN, SOUTH-WEST, NIGERIA.

Background: Orbito-ocular diseases are a major public health issue, often causing visual impairment with serious socioeconomic implications on individual lives. Ocular ultrasonography is an invaluable diagnostic tool when clinical examination of the ocular fundus is difficult.

Objectives: To describe the indications, sonographic findings, and contribution of orbito-ocular ultrasonography to the management of orbito-ocular diseases in the University College Hospital, Ibadan.
