Pre-operative radiomics model for prognostication in resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma with external validation.

Objectives: In resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), few pre-operative prognostic biomarkers are available. Radiomics has demonstrated potential but lacks external validation. We aimed to develop and externally validate a pre-operative clinical-radiomic prognostic model.

Correlation of ultrasound placental diameter & thickness with gestational age.

Background & Objectives: Estimation of fetal maturity is common in obstetric practice especially when the women do not keep accurate menstrual records. An accurate establishment of expected date of delivery is fundamental to the management of both high risk and normal pregnancies. The objective of this study was to determine the placental diameter (PD), placental thickness (PT) and to establish a correlation between PD, PT and gestational age.

Abdominal aortic diameter and its determinants among healthy adults in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.

Background: The abdominal aorta is the largest artery in the human body. Sonographic assessment of the abdominal aortic diameter is presently the preferred screening method for an aortic aneurysm. However, there are no customized nomograms for our population and the recommended cutoffs for screening may be inappropriate.

Proximal femoral focal deficiency - a rare congenital entity: two case reports and a review of the literature.

Background: Proximal femoral focal deficiency is an extremely rare congenital anomaly with an incidence of 1.1-2.0 in 100,000 live births.

Geometrical Analysis of the Proximal Femur and the Clinical Application in Total Hip Replacement: A Study of the Igbo Population of South East Nigeria.

Background: Adult hip reconstruction following trauma and hip pathologies depends on a sound knowledge of the proximal femoral geometry (PFG), which varies from one ethnic population to another.

Aim: The aim of the study, therefore, was to evaluate parameters of the proximal femoral geometry in Igbos of South Eastern Nigeria.

Methodology: A 5-year review of normal X-rays of the pelvis showing both hips of patients' age 18-64 between 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2016 at Radiology Department of University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Enugu was done.
