Article Synopsis
- Researchers hybridized a human parasitic fluke with a livestock parasite in a lab setting, but the ecological extent of this hybridization is still uncertain in the wild.
- Analysis of 34.6 million genetic variations from 162 samples across 18 African countries showed a significant genetic divide between northern and southern populations, with no recent hybridization evidence but signs of past admixture events.
- The study found that while gene flow barriers exist, 15 introgressed genes are becoming fixed in northern populations, and certain genomic regions, especially on sex chromosomes, resist hybridization, highlighting the importance of interspecific hybridization in shaping the genetics of these medically and agriculturally significant parasites.
Background: Admissions over the years have been largely due to preventable aetiologies and the possible outcomes are discharge, death, referral or discharge against medical advice. This study aimed to understand the patterns of postneonatal paediatric admissions and outcomes from a public tertiary health facility in South-West Nigeria.
Methodology: A descriptive retrospective study of paediatric admissions over a 2-year period.
Stercoral colitis is an uncommon inflammatory condition primarily affecting individuals with chronic constipation, immobilization, and advanced age, occasionally manifesting in pediatric patients. It arises from the accumulation of impacted fecal matter, leading to colonic distension and subsequent fecaloma formation, culminating in pressure necrosis and perforation. Mortality rates can exceed 60% in vulnerable populations due to complications such as colonic perforation and ischemia.

Objective: To determine the SUA levels of hypertensive students and randomly selected controls and find the association, if any, between SUA level and blood pressure (BP) among secondary school students in Ido-Osi Local Government Area (LGA).
Methodology: The study was a nested case-control study conducted among selected secondary school students in IdoOsi LGA from June 2017 to March 2018.
Background: Anaemia in pregnancy remains a severe public health problem in sub-Saharan African countries including Nigeria.
Objectives: To assess factors associated with anaemia in pregnancy among Nigerian women.
Methods: A secondary analysis of the 2018 Nigeria demographic health survey was conducted to determine the predictors of anaemia among Nigerian pregnant women (N=1522).
