This study assesses the radiological risks associated with phosphate fertilizer application on farmlands in Ondo State, Nigeria. Soil samples from ten agricultural towns were analyzed for radionuclide concentrations using gamma-ray spectrometry. Primordial radionuclides such as 238U, 232Th, and 40K were examined, with 40K showing the highest concentration due to the potassium-rich nature of phosphate fertilizers.

- SMA syndrome is a rare condition causing duodenal obstruction due to the overlying superior mesenteric artery, with a case review identifying seven patients (one male, six females) with an average age of 17.1 years who presented primarily with vomiting and abdominal pain.
- The diagnosis was typically not suspected until after radiological evaluations, which included gastrografin/barium meals and CT scans; four patients responded to medical treatment, while three required surgical interventions (two open duodenojejunostomy and one laparoscopic dissection).
- The study emphasizes that, despite shared symptoms with other conditions, SMA syndrome has distinct radiological features, and initial conservative treatment is recommended, followed by surgical options if necessary for a lasting cure.
