. Determine association between use (and type) of antipsychotics and dyslipidaemia in newly diagnosed schizophrenia patients attending Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Enugu. . From sixty antipsychotic naive patients with schizophrenia and sixty first-degree relatives matched for gender and age, fasting blood lipid profiles were measured at baseline and after twelve weeks. Medical Outcome Study Short Form General Health Survey was administered to patients on both occasions. Fasting lipid profile changes of both groups were compared. . Mean endpoint of total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LD), and triglycerides (TG) in mmol/l for cases was significantly higher than initial values (TC 4.5 versus 4.3, = 4.3, < 0.0001), (LDL 2.8 versus 2.6, = 14.3, < 0.0001), and (TG 1.3 versus 1.0, = 12.1, < 0.0001). Mean endpoint of high density lipoprotein (HDL) in mmol/l for cases was significantly lower than initial values (1.1 versus 1.2, = 12.1, < 0.0001). Prevalence of dyslipidaemia for cases was 13%. Mean endpoint of TC, LDL, TG, and HDL in mmol/l for controls was not significantly different from initial values (TC 4.30 versus 4.27, = 1.09, = 0.279), (LDL 2.49 versus 2.46, = 1.28, = 0.205), (TG 0.96 versus 0.94, = 1.27, = 0.207), and (HDL 1.37 versus 1.38, = 1.61, = 0.113). Subjects on atypical antipsychotics had higher risk for dyslipidaemia. . Use of antipsychotics was significantly associated with dyslipidaemia.

Background: Contingency management (CM), an incentive-based intervention to encourage target behaviors, effectively promotes medication adherence. However, efforts to extend CM to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) have been lacking. As part of a randomized clinical trial to promote HIV Prevention among people who inject drugs (PWID), we examined the readiness of staff in community-based organizations serving PWID to implement CM for PrEP uptake and adherence in this population.

Background: The purpose of the study was to analyze the appearance of pelvic obliquity before total hip arthroplasty (THA) in adults who have Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) sequelae and its evolution in the first two postoperative years, identifying which factors influence its development.

Methods: The THAs performed between 2012 and 2021 at a single institution in adults who had LCPD during childhood were retrospectively identified. Each case was matched 1:1, based on age at surgery, sex, and body mass index, with a primary THA performed for hip osteoarthritis (primary OA).
