Article Synopsis
- Small intestine volvulus is more common in younger children and is difficult to diagnose in older children and adults; prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for positive outcomes.
- An unusual case is presented of an 11-year-old Nigerian boy who initially only showed signs of anasarca, but later developed acute abdominal symptoms leading to a diagnosis of small intestine volvulus after surgery.
- The case highlights that anasarca could potentially be the first indicator of small intestine volvulus, suggesting the need for careful evaluation in such cases.*
Background: This study aims to determine the relationship(s) of fetal liver length (FLL) to the gestational age, biometric parameters (BPD, FL, AC, HC), and fetal weight in third trimester pregnancies.
Methodology: This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study of 400 fetuses in normal third trimester pregnancies recruited from the Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of OAUTHC, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. The participants were between 20-45 years of age and their gestational ages ranged from 27-40weeks.
Purpose: To describe the relationship between renal artery resistance index (RARI) and liver function based on Child-Pugh system among patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) in Southwest Nigeria.
Methods: About 50 patients with LC and 50 controls were consecutively recruited into this prospective comparative case control study. Each LC patient was classed based on Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) system after relevant tests.
