A Review of Scrotal Ultrasonography in Uyo, Nigeria.

Background: Scrotal ultrasonography is a useful, sensitive, readily available and safe imaging modality in the investigation of scrotal pathologies, including those possibly contributory to male infertility. The aim of this study was to review the scrotal ultrasound scans (SUSS) done in the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital over a period of 18 months from July 2018 to December 2019.

Methodology: This was a retrospective study of all the SUSS performed in the Department of Radiology of University of Uyo Teaching Hospital (UUTH) within an 18-month period.

Custodial status and self concepts of Nigerian inmates remanded to prison custody.

60 male Nigerian prison inmates (30 with convicted status and 30 awaiting trial) and 210 male noninmates were administered the Tennessee Self-concept Scale to test the hypotheses that (1) inmates with convicted status would obtain higher self-concept scores than those with ¿awaiting trial¿ status, and (2) the self-concept scores of prison inmates generally would be lower than those of noninmates. The two hypotheses were strongly supported for this sample. It was concluded that self-concept scores were not only related to delinquency by also to custodial status.

British delinquents and nondelinquents on seven domains of the self-concept.

British male delinquents (n = 90) were compared with their nondelinquent counterparts (n = 12) in terms of scores on seven socialization-related domains of the self-concept. Ss were subgrouped according to both social class and "openness" of delinquent institution. The hypothesis that delinquents would have poorer self-concepts than nondelinquents was strongly supported with respect to five of the seven domains.
