Building a research culture among nigerian medical students: the modus operandi of the college research and innovation hub.

Africa, with 18.3% of the world's population, faces a significant research output gap, contributing only 2% of global research despite bearing a substantial disease burden. This discrepancy is partly due to inadequate research infrastructure, limited funding, and a shortage of physician-scientists.

Prevalence of dementia in Nigeria: a systematic review of the evidence.

Background: The burden of dementia is poorly understood in Nigeria. We sought to gather available epidemiologic evidence on dementia in Nigeria to provide country-wide estimates of its prevalence and associated risks.

Methods: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Global Health, Africa Journals Online (AJOL) and Google Scholar for epidemiologic studies on dementia in Nigeria from 1990 to 2018.

Is the likelihood of spousal violence lower or higher among childless women? Evidence from Nigeria demographic and health surveys.

Background: Few studies have been able to determine whether the likelihood of spousal violence is higher or lower among childless women compared with women who have children. This is because most studies linking childlessness and spousal violence were either qualitative or were conducted among childless women attending fertility clinics. In the fewer quantitative studies that linked childlessness and spousal violence, results are mixed and yet to be verified in Nigeria using nationally representative sample data.

Microbial Diversity in the Gut of Cashew Stem Girdler, Analeptes trifasciata Fabricius (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), in Ibadan, Nigeria.

The cashew stem girdler, Analeptes trifasciata, is a major insect pest of cashew in Nigeria causing economic damage in cashew plantations even at low density. In this study, newly emerged adults of A. trifasciata reared from field-infested cashew stems were collected from the rearing cages, sexed, and dissected to reveal the internal structures of the insects.
