Background: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is usually underestimated in many developing countries, Nigeria inclusive.
Introduction: ED is associated with stigma and poor health seeking behaviour and is assumed not to be life-threatening. This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of ED and the pattern among adult males.
Background: Maternal anaemia results in morbidity and mortality in both the mother and the unborn child.
Introduction: Several factors have been found to determine anaemia among pregnant women but vary from place to place depending on the population and setting of the study. We thus set out to determine predictors of anaemia among pregnant women at booking in FMC, Bida.
Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, inflammatory, and itchy skin condition that develops in early childhood in the majority of cases.
Aim: The objective of this study is to determine factors associated with atopic dermatitis among children aged 6 months to 14 years seen at the General Out-Patients Clinics of a tertiary hospital in north central Nigeria as well as predictors of having AD.
Patients And Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study of 490 eligible children recruited using the systematic random sampling technique.
Background: The literature is replete with overwhelming evidence that being obese is a predictor of hypertension risk. Obesity can be defined by anthropometric indices, such as Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist Circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR), and waistheight ratio (WHtR). Despite wide use of BMI as indicator of obesity, it does not reflect central fat distribution, whereas WC, WHR, and WHtR are used as surrogate markers for body fat centralization.

- - Bullous Pemphigoid is primarily seen in older adults but can rarely occur in adolescents, making this case significant.
- - The condition is an autoimmune skin disorder characterized by blisters and burn-like areas, which can sometimes look like Erythrodermic Psoriasis that typically presents with massive scaling.
- - In this case, the initial symptoms of itching and scaling transformed into the characteristic vesicles and blisters of Bullous Pemphigoid, confirming the diagnosis through histology tests.
