Spectrum of carotid arterial Doppler abnormalities among stroke patients at a tertiary care centre in North West Nigeria.

Background: Stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide. It also represents one of the most common causes of disability, affecting both children and adults. The identification of risk factors for stroke is critical in preventing its occurrence.

Doppler Sonographic Characteristics and Clinical Outcomes of Diabetic Foot Syndrome: A 5-Year Audit from a Tertiary Hospital in Northern Nigeria.

Background: Diabetes foot syndrome is one of the common complications of diabetes. Detailed information on the clinical and vascular characteristics of patients with diabetic foot disease in relation to the outcome of the care provided to these patients will be useful to policymakers and clinicians in early detection and timely interventions for the prevention of disabling complications.

Materials And Methods: This is a review of patients with diabetic foot managed in Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital over 5 years (January 2017-May 2022).

Auditing the Findings of Computed Tomographic Angiographic Examinations Using 160-Slice Scanner: Analysis of 5-Year Experiences from Northwestern Nigeria.

Background: Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) is a promising tool for the rapid characterisation of the anatomy and structural lesions of the vascular system.

Aim/objectives: The aims/objectives of the study were to determine the frequency and pattern of vascular lesions in northern Nigeria. We also set to determine the agreement between clinical and CTA diagnosis of vascular lesions.

Changes in opthalmic artery doppler velocimetry in women with preeclampsia in Kano, Nigeria.

Background: Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy are among the most serious complications of pregnancy and represent important contributors to maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Preeclampsia (PE)-eclampsia syndrome is the most important hypertensive gestational condition. Maternal ophthalmic artery Doppler velocimetry enables the identification of pregnant women with increased cerebral blood flow who are at risk of developing severe PE and eclampsia.

Doppler velocimetry indices of human immunodeficiency virus-positive pregnant women and their controls at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano.

Background: Nigeria is among the countries having a large number of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected people in Africa with growing number of HIV-positive children, mainly infected by their mothers. Traditional tests diagnose high-risk fetuses very late. Doppler sonography has a potential for detecting high at-risk fetus at a much early stage, so that appropriate measures could be instituted to improve outcomes.

Refractory bleeding from a giant de-differentiated liposarcoma of the chest wall: An indication for neoadjuvant chemotherapy and palliative resection? - A case report.

Introduction: Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) is a heterogenous neoplasm of variable histological grade. DDLPS uncommonly arises from the chest wall. There are limited data available about the tumor's response to chemotherapy and accessible reports indicate minimal benefits.
