Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the main cause of cervical cancer and other cancers such as anogenital and oropharyngeal cancers. The prevention screening and treatment of cervical cancer has remained one of the top priorities of the World Health Organization (WHO). In 2020, the WHO came up with the 90-70-90 strategy aimed at eliminating cervical cancers as a public health problem by the year 2030.

Here, we used a rat model susceptible to pregnancy loss (full-litter resorption; FLR) and eye malformations (anophthalmia, microphthalmia) to test 11 DBPs, including trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids (HAAs), and nitrogen-containing DBPs (N-DBPs).
Methods: Timed-pregnant F344 rats received gavage doses of chloroform, chlorodibromomethane, iodoform, chloroacetic acid, bromoacetic acid, dibromoacetic acid (DBA), diiodoacetic acid (DIA), trichloroacetic acid (TCA), dibromonitromethane, and iodoacetonitrile on gestation days (GD) 6-10.
Article Synopsis
- This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the relationship between sugar intake and dental caries in Nigeria, as there were no existing national data on this issue.
- A thorough search in various scientific databases yielded 14 relevant studies, predominantly from Southwest Nigeria, assessing factors like sugar consumption frequency and dental health in both children and adults.
- Results indicated that while sugar intake seemed to slightly increase caries risk (18% higher odds), this association lacked statistical significance, suggesting further research is needed to clarify the link between sugar and dental health in the Nigerian population.
Background: After the first Avian Influenza H5N1 outbreak in Nigerian poultry in 2006, subsequent waves of outbreaks occurred, causing substantial losses. Despite effective control measures by 2008, a resurgence in 2015 led to further losses and required depopulation efforts.
Aim: The aim of this study was to do pathology and molecular detection of influenza A subtype H9N2 virus in commercial poultry in Nigeria during 2024.
Article Synopsis
- * There were no significant differences in overall cardiac or noncardiac complications between patients treated at CTS and non-CTS hospitals, with both settings showing similar safety profiles.
- * One-year rates of AF recurrence were also comparable between the two groups, indicating that catheter ablation is effective regardless of the availability of onsite CTS.
