Placental Site Trophoblastic Tumour Mimicking Placenta Previa.

We present a 42-year-old Nigerian woman who had three previous caesarean sections and is being managed conservatively for placenta previa. She underwent a caesarean hysterectomy on account of uncontrollable bleeding, and histopathology revealed a placental site trophoblastic tumour.

Spermatozoa Survival in Egg Yolk-Based and Soybean-Based Extenders at Ambient and Chilling Temperature in Domestic Turkeys .

Populations of many galliform species have declined mainly due to habitat loss and over-hunting, notably the Congo peacock, which has been classified as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The domestic turkey, being a species of least concern, which has been reported to be closely related to peacocks, could serve as a model for the optimization of assisted reproductive technologies for the Congo peacock. This study was aimed at developing a suitable turkey semen extender for artificial insemination in field conditions.

Preoperative sonographic prediction of intra-abdominal adhesions using sliding sign at repeat caesarean section at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Nigeria: a prospective observational study.

Objective: To determine if the presence or absence of sonographic sliding sign preoperatively is a good predictor of the presence and type of intra-abdominal adhesions; and to determine the time taken to demonstrate this sign.

Design: A prospective, observational, triple-blind study using tests of diagnostic accuracy.

Setting: Single-centre tertiary health institution in north-east Nigeria.

Trusted authorities can change minds and shift norms during conflict.

The reintegration of former members of violent extremist groups is a pressing policy challenge. Governments and policymakers often have to change minds among reticent populations and shift perceived community norms in order to pave the way for peaceful reintegration. How can they do so on a mass scale? Previous research shows that messages from trusted authorities can be effective in creating attitude change and shifting perceptions of social norms.

Prevalence of human papillomavirus genotypes in cervical cancer in Maiduguri, Nigeria.

Introduction: Cervical cancer is the commonest gynaecological malignancy and the second most common cancer among women worldwide. Several epidemiological, clinical and molecular studies have strongly implicated oncogenic high-risk human papillomavirus infection in the aetiopathogenesis of cervical cancer. The objectives of this study were to determine the cervical HPV prevalence and genotype distribution in cervical cancer in Maiduguri, Nigeria.
