An over-all lower cost implantable chronic venous access is readily accomplished using the Cath-finder and implantable P.A.S. Port. This system has few complications and is less expensive, time saving and easy to maintain. The Cath-finder system allows the surgeon to access accurately the central venous circulation without the use of a fluoroscope. The implantable P.A.S. Port has wide acceptance with many types of patients, including those with tumors, cystic fibrosis and AIDS.

Background: Perceived age (PA) has been associated with mortality, genetic variants linked to ageing and several age-related morbidities. However, estimating PA in large datasets is laborious and costly to generate, limiting its practical applicability.
Objectives: To determine if estimating PA using deep learning-based algorithms results in the same associations with morbidities and genetic variants as human-estimated perceived age.
Pulmonary artery sarcoma (PAS) is a rare and aggressive mesenchymal tumor with an overall poor prognosis1-5. Due to similar clinical and radiologic findings, PAS is often misdiagnosed as a pulmonary embolism (PE) frequently leading to prolonged anticoagulation therapy, which delays the correct diagnosis 1-3. By presenting this clinical case our objective is to emphasize characteristic CT findings that favour a neoplastic origin of a pulmonary intravascular filling defect.

Climate change and anthropogenic stressors are redistributing species and altering community composition globally. Protected areas (PAs) may not sufficiently protect populations of species undergoing distributional shifts, necessitating that we evaluate existing PAs and identify areas for future protection to conserve biodiversity across regional and temporal scales. Coastal waterbirds are important indicators of marine ecosystem health, representing mobile, long-lived, higher trophic-level consumers.

Pulmonary artery sarcoma is a rare type of tumor and is easily misdiagnosed. We report a case of pulmonary artery sarcoma in a 26-year-old young man who presented with acute onset of dyspnea. Computed tomographic angiography of the chest had revealed a large filling defect within the main pulmonary artery (PA) that extended into both right and left PAs.

Background: Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) describes the abnormal adherence of the placenta trophoblast to the myometrium and is associated with high foeto-maternal morbidity and mortality. This study was aimed at determining the prevalence, and trend of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), as well as its association with sociodemographic/obstetrics factors at the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital (RSUTH).
Methodology: An analytical cross-sectional study of all recorded cases of placenta accreta spectrum managed at RSUTH from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2021.
