Background: Umbilical cord care is an important aspect of newborn health, and different practices exist around the world, often influenced by cultural, healthcare infrastructure, and socioeconomic factors. The objective of this systematic review is to synthesize current literature on umbilical cord care practices in Nigeria, with an emphasis on the impact of cultural beliefs, healthcare infrastructure, and socioeconomic factors.
Methods: A comprehensive search for literature was performed across PubMED, MEDLINE and Google scholar for studies published between 2010 and 2023.
Aim: To determine the causes of tractional retinal detachment (TRD) in Nigerians.
Materials And Methods: A prospective, multicentre study evaluating eyes diagnosed to have TRD. History, clinical examination (including visual acuity, intraocular pressure measurement, anterior segment examination and dilated fundoscopy) and systemic evaluation (including previous diagnosis of diabetes, hypertension, sickle-cell disease and others) were performed in TRD eyes out of a cohort of retinal detachment eyes.
Background: Exudative retinal detachment (ERD) is a rare type of retinal detachment (RD), and information on its causes and presentation in Nigerians and Black Africans is scarce.
Aim: To report the prevalence, vision at presentation, and causes of ERD in a cohort of RD patients.
Materials And Methods: A prospective, multicentre, hospital-based study.
The fellow eye of retinal detachment patients: Vision and clinical presentation.

Background: The fellow eye of a retinal detachment is at risk of developing a retinal detachment and other visually debilitating disease.
Aim: To investigate the rate of bilaterality of retinal detachment (RD), the presenting visual acuity (VA), and the presence of ocular morbidity in the fellow eye of patients with RD.
Patients And Methods: A multicenter, prospective, cross-sectional study examining the fellow eye of consecutive patients who were diagnosed with different types of RD.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the prevalence and patterns of retinal vascular occlusions in sub-Saharan Africa, highlighting that previous research largely concentrated on retinal vein occlusion only.
- A total of 8614 new patients were examined in Nigeria, revealing a 0.9% prevalence of retinal vascular occlusions, primarily affecting older individuals with significant associations to hypertension and diabetes.
- The findings indicate that retinal vascular occlusions are a growing concern in SSA, occurring at younger ages, and further research is needed to better understand retinal artery occlusion in this region.
