Differences in Ocular Axial Length Between Genders and Refractive Error Groups: A Cross-Sectional Study at the Yaoundé Central Hospital, Cameroon.

Background: Refractive errors are a common global health issue. Previous studies in Cameroon have predominantly identified hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism as the primary refractive errors. This study aimed to determine ocular axial length (OAL) values in Cameroonian adults and to evaluate differences between genders and refractive error groups.

A Multicentric Cross-Sectional Study Investigating the Profile and Motivations of Women Seeking Unsafe Abortions in Yaoundé, Cameroon.

Background: Unsafe abortions represent a significant public health issue in Cameroon, often resulting in severe health consequences. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, motivations, and factors associated with unsafe abortions among women in Yaoundé, Cameroon.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among women of childbearing age attending three urban health facilities in Yaoundé, Cameroon.

Prevalence, complications and factors associated with severely elevated blood pressure in patients with hypertension: a cross-sectional study in two hospitals in Yaoundé, Cameroon.

Introduction: severely elevated blood pressure significantly increases cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in hypertensive Black patients. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence, complications and factors associated with severe high blood pressure in hypertensive patients in Yaoundé, Cameroon.

Methods: we conducted a cross-sectional study in the outpatient and cardiology units of two teaching hospitals in Yaoundé.

Pancreatic and splenic tuberculosis mimicking a pancreatic cancer with splenic metastases in an immunocompetent adolescent: a case report.

We present a case of pancreatic and splenic tuberculosis (TB) in a 15-year-old human immunodeficiency virus-negative patient who was initially misdiagnosed as suffering from a pancreatic carcinoma with splenic metastases. Pancreatic and splenic TB are extremely rare in young immunocompetent patients, with a nonspecific clinical presentation, making the diagnosis elusive.

Clinical predictors of significant intracranial computed tomography scan findings in adults experiencing headache disorder.

Introduction: Radiological assessments for adult headache disorder show significant intracranial findings in 2.5% to 10% of performed computed tomography scans (CT-scans), leading to an overuse consideration for CT-scan requests by physicians in headache-experiencing patients. Therefore, we undertook this study in order to determine predictors of significant intracranial CT-scan findings in adults experiencing headache disorder; in order to help physicians better select patients who need imaging, which would subsequently decrease the costs of headache disorder management and the useless irradiation rates.
