A Comparative Study of Uterine Artery Doppler Parameters and Endometrial Characteristics in Women with Unexplained Infertility and Fertile Women at a Nigerian Teaching Hospital.

Objectives: To investigate the uterine artery Doppler parameters and endometrial characteristics in women with unexplained infertility.

Methods: A prospective case-control study of 42 women with unexplained infertility and 42 fertile controls. Their mid-luteal phase transvaginal Doppler parameters of both uterine arteries and endometrial characteristics (endometrial blood flow, thickness and volume) were investigated and analysed.

A 5-YEAR REVIEW OF ULTRASONOGRAPHIC EVALUATION OF OCULAR DISEASES AT THE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE HOSPITAL IBADAN, SOUTH-WEST, NIGERIA.

Background: Orbito-ocular diseases are a major public health issue, often causing visual impairment with serious socioeconomic implications on individual lives. Ocular ultrasonography is an invaluable diagnostic tool when clinical examination of the ocular fundus is difficult.

Objectives: To describe the indications, sonographic findings, and contribution of orbito-ocular ultrasonography to the management of orbito-ocular diseases in the University College Hospital, Ibadan.

Breast Cancer Knowledge Assessment of Health Workers in Ibadan, Southwest Nigeria.

Purpose: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, and in low- to middle-income countries late-stage diagnosis contributes to significant mortality. Previous research at the University College Hospital, a tertiary hospital in Ibadan, Nigeria, on social factors contributing to late diagnosis revealed that many patients received inappropriate initial treatment.

Methods: The level of breast cancer knowledge among health practitioners at various levels of the health system was assessed.

Intima-media thickness of femoral arteries and carotids among an adult hypertensive Nigerian population: A case-control study to assess their use as surrogate markers of atherosclerosis.

Background: Increased intima-media thickness (IMT) is an established and important surrogate marker for atherosclerosis. Intima-media thickening in the femoral arteries occur earlier and reflect the true extent of generalized atherosclerosis better than in the carotids. Aims: To study the ultrasound-detected morphological changes in the common femoral versus carotid artery wall.

Sonographic evaluation of axillary lymph nodes in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer at the university college hospital Ibadan, Nigeria.

Background: Axillary lymph node (LN) status of patients with breast cancer is important in the surgical management. Sonographic evaluation of axillary LNs in newly diagnosed breast cancer is required to predict prognosis.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the morphologic features by sonographic evaluation of the cortices and sinuses as well as patterns of blood flow of axillary LNs and correlate same with the clinical staging in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer in a tertiary referral centre.
