Prevalence of Group B Colonisation and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern among Pregnant Women Attending a Tertiary Health Facility in Ogun State, Southwest Nigeria.

Background: Genital colonisation by group B (GBS) in pregnant women in their third trimester has been shown to be a known risk factor for morbidity and mortality among newborns.

Design: Longitudinal cohort study.

Labour pain perception: experiences of Nigerian mothers.

Introduction: Labour pain perception is influenced by a variety of factors; hence women experience and cope with labour pain differently. This study was designed to assess labour pain perception among parturient.

Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 132 pregnant women who had vaginal delivery at two tertiary hospitals in south west Nigeria.

Progestogen-only injectable contraceptive: Acceptor prevalence and client experience at Sagamu, Nigeria.

Context: Progestogen-only injectable contraceptive is a long-lasting contraceptive given at interval of two or 3 months. It is effective, safe and convenient. Menstrual irregularity is a recognised side effect.

Palivizumab for prophylaxis against respiratory syncytial virus infection in children with cystic fibrosis.

Background: Respiratory syncytial virus infection causes acute lung infection in infants and young children worldwide, resulting in considerable morbidity and mortality. Children with cystic fibrosis are prone to recurrent lung inflammation, bacterial colonisation and subsequent chronic airway disease, putting them at risk for severe respiratory syncytial virus infections requiring intensive care and respiratory support. No treatment currently exists, hence prevention is important.

Active cycle of breathing technique for cystic fibrosis.

Background: People with cystic fibrosis experience chronic airway infections as a result of mucus build up within the lungs. Repeated infections often cause lung damage and disease. Airway clearance therapies aim to improve mucus clearance, increase sputum production, and improve airway function.

A review of nutritional factors in hypertension management.

Hypertension is a major health problem worldwide. Its attendant morbidity and mortality complications have a great impact on patient's quality of life and survival. Optimizing blood pressure control has been shown to improve overall health outcomes.

Impact of tobacco control interventions on smoking initiation, cessation, and prevalence: a systematic review.

Background: Policymakers need estimates of the impact of tobacco control (TC) policies to set priorities and targets for reducing tobacco use. We systematically reviewed the independent effects of TC policies on smoking behavior.

Methods: We searched MEDLINE (through January 2012) and EMBASE and other databases through February 2009, looking for studies published after 1989 in any language that assessed the effects of each TC intervention on smoking prevalence, initiation, cessation, or price participation elasticity.

Evaluation of guideline recommendations on oral medications for type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review.

Background: Clinical practice guidelines have an important role in guiding choices among the numerous medications available to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus, but little is known about their quality.

Purpose: To assess whether guidelines on oral medications for type 2 diabetes are consistent with a systematic review of the current evidence and whether the consistency of the guidelines depends on the quality of guideline development.

Data Sources: MEDLINE, CINAHL, and guideline-specific databases were searched between July 2007 and August 2011, after the 2007 publication of a peer-reviewed systematic review on oral diabetes medications.

A systematic review of randomized controlled trials: Web-based interventions for smoking cessation among adolescents, college students, and adults.

We performed a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of smoking cessation to evaluate the efficacy of Web-based interventions in adults, college students, and adolescents.

Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and PsycINFO were searched from January 1, 1990 through February 12, 2010 for RCTs examining the efficacy of Web-based smoking cessation programs.
