Adverse birth outcomes among women exposed to intimate partner violence in pregnancy in Ikere-Ekiti, South-west Nigeria: A prospective cohort study.

Objective: Studies on birth outcomes associated with intimate partner violence in pregnancy in Nigeria are scarce. We aimed to evaluate adverse birth outcomes among women exposed to intimate partner violence in pregnancy in a Nigerian population.

Study Design: We performed a prospective cohort study involving 363 women with singleton pregnancies presenting for antenatal care between March 2019 and September 2019.

Predictors of postpartum depression among an obstetric population in South-Western Nigeria.

Background: Perinatal maternal depression is the most common mood disturbance associated with pregnancy. It has grave consequences on both maternal health and wellbeing of offsprings, albeit usually neglected in low- and middle-income countries.

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between antenatal depression(APD) and postpartum depression(PPD) and predictors of postpartum depression among an obstetric population in South-western Nigeria.

Structural Basis of Antisickling Effects of Selected FDA Approved Drugs: A Drug Repurposing Study.

Introduction: Sickle cell disease is characterized by a point mutation involving substitution of glutamic acid at position 6 to valine. Encoded in this hydrophobic mutation is both an intrinsic capacity for the beta globin molecules to assemble into thermodynamically favoured polymeric states as well as a rational way of interrupting the aggregation.

Methods: In this work, starting with a theoretical model that employs occlusive binding onto the beta globin aggregation surface and using a range of computational methods and an effective energy for screening, a number of FDA approved drugs with computed aggregation inhibitory activities were identified.
