Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of rectal diclofenac for managing postoperative pain in women undergoing diagnostic hystero-laparoscopy and dye test.
- In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 108 participants, pain levels were measured at various time points, showing diclofenac provided slightly lower pain scores but not significantly better than the placebo.
- Overall, while rectal diclofenac was deemed safe, it did not substantially enhance pain relief or patient satisfaction when compared to placebo treatments following surgery.

Objective: We systematically identified the prevalence of triplex infections (combined human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV)) in pregnancy.
Methods: To gather information on the frequency of triplex infections, we searched the databases of PubMed, CINAHL, and Google Scholar. Without regard to language, we utilized search terms that covered HIV, HBV, HCV, and pregnancy.
Objectives: To determine the efficacy of zinc sulfate supplementation in managing dysmenorrhoea.
Methods: In total, 103 high school students were randomised into an experimental arm (52 students) and a control arm (51 students) and received 40-mg zinc sulfate or placebo, respectively, over three cycles.

PLoS One
May 2023
Background: To our knowledge, there is no prior randomized trial on the efficacy of Mojeaga remedy (a special blend of Alchornea cordifolia, Pennisetum glaucum and Sorghum bicolor extracts) when co-administered with standard-of-care for correction of anemia in obstetrics practice. This study determined the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Mojeaga as adjunct to conventional oral iron therapy for correction of anemia in obstetric population.
Methods: A pilot open-label randomized clinical trial.

To systematically review literature and identify mother-to-child transmission rates of human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus, and hepatitis C virus among pregnant women with single, dual, or triplex infections of human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus, and hepatitis C virus in Nigeria. PRISMA guidelines were employed. Searches were on 19 February 2021 in PubMed, Google Scholar and CINAHL on studies published from 1 February 2001 to 31 January 2021 using keywords: "MTCT," "dual infection," "triplex infection," "HIV," "HBV," and "HCV.
