Risk factors for mild cognitive impairment among older adults in a hospital in southern Nigeria.

Background: About 63% of people living with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia live in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Emerging evidence suggests that early risk factors for the development of MCI and dementia can be modified by public health and preventive intervention approaches.

Aim: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of MCI in older adult patients and its relationship with some risk factors.

Sensitivity and specificity of malaria rapid diagnostic test (mRDT CareStatTM) compared with microscopy amongst under five children attending a primary care clinic in southern Nigeria.

Background: Malaria diagnosis using microscopy is currently the gold standard. However, malaria rapid diagnostic tests (mRDTs) were developed to simplify the diagnosis in regions without access to functional microscopy.

Aim: The objective of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of mRDT CareStatTM with microscopy.
