Prevalence of abnormal umbilical arterial Doppler indices in apparently normal pregnancies in Calabar.

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) may occur in the presence of normal fetal growth parameters, with resultant unanticipated perinatal morbidity and mortality. Umbilical arterial Doppler evaluation determines the fetuses susceptible to compromise by detecting IUGR early enough for successful intervention measures to be implemented. This study was aimed at determining the prevalence of abnormal umbilical arterial Doppler indices (UADI) in apparently normal pregnancies and to assess its correlation with amniotic fluid index (AFI).

Citizens lack access to healthcare facilities: How COVID-19 lockdown and social distancing policies boost roadside chemist businesses in South-Eastern Nigeria.

This study examines how COVID-19 lockdown and social distancing policies impacted on citizens' access to healthcare facilities and the level of patronage of chemist/pharmacies for self-treatment. A cross-sectional questionnaire survey method was used to collect data by asking individuals quantitative and qualitative questions in person which included 6 structured open-ended questions. Participants include operators of purposively selected three classes of small businesses/self-employed services in South-Eastern Nigeria.

Combined modality therapy including cytoreductive surgery and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy for synchronous low volume peritoneal carcinomatosis from adenocarcinoma of the tail of pancreas in a BRCA-2 carrier resulting in long-term disease-free survival: A case report.

Introduction: A BRCA-2 mutation carrier with a metachronous pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PC) and established peritoneal metastases is presented. Combined modality therapy including Cytoreductive Surgery (CS) and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) was associated with long-term disease-free survival.

Case Presentation: A 62-yr.

Assessment of Significant Bacteriuria, Bacterial Profile and Pyuria among Pregnant Women with Urinary Tract Symptoms in Enugu, South-Eastern Nigeria: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Urinary tract symptoms are common in pregnancy; thus, symptom-based diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) might not be accurate. Such women are often exposed to antibiotics without urine culture and antibiotics sensitivity. Identification of pyuria on urine microscopy of pregnant women with urinary tract symptoms may predict significant bacteriuria and guide such women's treatment in under-resourced settings.
