P53 marker expression in epithelial ovarian tumours in a centre in Nigeria - a descriptive study.

Background: p53 is a tumor suppressor gene. p53 expression in epithelial ovarian tumors (EOTs) is correlated with their biological behavior and predicts patient overall survival. However, there is a dearth of knowledge regarding p53 expression in these tumors among women from southwest Nigeria.

Effect of community treatment initiative on antiretroviral therapy uptake among linkage-resistant people living with HIV in Northern Nigeria.

Background: Community Treatment Initiative (CTI) was developed in northern Nigeria as an intervention to link a cohort of people living with HIV (PLHIV) who refused antiretroviral treatment through a conventional linkage method to care and treatment. The CTI attempted to take treatment to PLHIV in the community.

Methods: This was a non-control interventional study that evaluated the proportion of linkage-resistant PLHIV linked to treatment through the CTI in nine geographical areas.
