Background: There is increasing evidence of an association between early term birth and adverse neonatal outcomes. However, there is a paucity of data on the true neonatal outcomes following term deliveries in lower-income countries, including Nigeria.
Objectives: This study compared the neonatal outcomes of early and late-term deliveries in a tertiary hospital in Lagos, Nigeria.
Background: Nigeria has one of the lowest antenatal care (ANC) utilization rates compared to other low- and middle-income nations. In order to ensure a , the World Health Organization recommends at least eight ANC visits during pregnancy.

The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of GBS colonization of the genital tract in women living with HIV infection and antibiotic susceptibility of GBS in the genital tract.
Method: This cross-sectional study recruited 244 pregnant women (122 women living with HIV infection and 122 HIV-uninfected women) between 35 and 37 weeks of gestation.
Article Synopsis
- In Nigeria, around 150,000 babies are born with sickle cell disease (SCD) each year, and this number could double by 2050 without proper screening and management strategies.
- *The study assessed the feasibility and acceptance of screening infants for SCD during immunization visits, finding that 86% of mothers were supportive, with a prevalence rate of 0.8% among the infants tested.
- *The HemoTypeSC diagnostic test was shown to be effective, offering 100% sensitivity and specificity compared to the traditional HPLC method, indicating a promising, cost-effective approach for early detection of SCD in infants.
Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are of public health importance as over 1 million STIs are acquired daily worldwide. One-third of the new cases of curable STIs affect younger persons aged less than 25 years. Sexually transmitted infections can lead to severe complications beyond the immediate impact of infections as such.
