Bedside critical care training: A quasi-experimental study in the paediatric emergency department of a referral hospital in Nigeria.

Background: There is a need for critical care services outside intensive care units (ICUs), especially in emergency departments (EDs). However, there is a paucity of skilled manpower for ED critical care or emergency critical care (ECC) in resource-limited settings.

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of bedside training on emergency critical care practices of clinical staff.

Gender Differences in Clinical Characteristics and Lifestyle Behaviours of Overweight and Obese Adolescents.

Background: Energy intake and energy expenditure are different in boys and girls, especially during the adolescent period, a critical period for the development of obesity. However, gender-specific lifestyle behaviours that may influence the development of obesity among adolescent have not received sufficient attention.

Aim: To determine gender differences in male and female overweight/ obese adolescents concerning their clinical parameters, dietary, sedentary and physical activity lifestyle behaviours.

An Enhanced Hyper-Parameter Optimization of a Convolutional Neural Network Model for Leukemia Cancer Diagnosis in a Smart Healthcare System.

Healthcare systems in recent times have witnessed timely diagnoses with a high level of accuracy. Internet of Medical Things (IoMT)-enabled deep learning (DL) models have been used to support medical diagnostics in real time, thus resolving the issue of late-stage diagnosis of various diseases and increasing performance accuracy. The current approach for the diagnosis of leukemia uses traditional procedures, and in most cases, fails in the initial period.

Clinical predictors of circulatory failure and coexisting morbidities in children seen in an emergency room in Southern Nigeria.

Background: Circulatory failure (shock) is a life-threatening emergency referring to a state of poor tissue perfusion and resultant anaerobic respiration at a cellular level. It is a common pathway for several severe pediatric morbidities.

Aim: We evaluated the clinical predictors of shock and coexisting morbidities in acutely-ill children.

Caregivers' perception and determinants of delayed presentation of children with severe malaria in an emergency room in Benin City, Nigeria.

Introduction: Severe malaria is a leading cause of mortality due to late presentation to health facilities. Hence, there is a need to identify and mitigate factors promoting delayed presentation with severe malaria.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate determinants of delayed presentation of children with severe malaria in a tertiary referral hospital.
