Purpose: The prevalence of themes linked to delay in presentation of breast cancer (BC) and their underlying factors vary considerably throughout Africa. Regional differences and trends are largely unreported. The purpose of this research was to provide summary estimates of the prevalence and distribution of the themes and underlying factors linked to delay in the presentation of BC, regional variation, and trends in an effort to identify targets for intervention.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLymphatic filariasis is a global health problem endemic in Nigeria. Peripheral blood smears are frequently negative for microfilariae in a significant number of infected patients in whom conventional diagnostic methods may also fail to identify the disease. In such cases, fine needle aspiration cytology may play an important role in disease identification.

- This study investigates the relationship between the histological findings of excised appendices and intra-operative observations during open appendectomy, focusing on cases of uncomplicated appendicitis.
- Results show that the presence and condition of the greater omentum and peritoneal exudates can predict the histological state of the appendix, with high positive predictive values indicating a reliable connection between visible inflammation and acute appendicitis.
- The findings suggest that the macroscopic assessment of the appendix during surgery can significantly inform the need for further exploration or intervention.
Introduction: Prophylactic mastectomy (PM) is uncommon in our practice. This study documents the knowledge and attitude of patients and relation to prophylactic mastectomy.
Methods: Adults attending surgical outpatient unit were interviewed.
Background: Wire localization for planned surgical treatment in the management of breast cancer is underutilized in our environment. The objective of this study is to assess the role of ultrasound-guided wire localization of breast masses detected on screening mammography and its impact on biopsy and breast conservative surgery in our environment.
Materials And Methods: A prospective study of 189 women who presented for screening mammography following a health campaign on breast cancer within a six-month period.
