West Afr J Med
June 2024
Surgery Department, University of Osun Teaching Hospital, Osun State, Nigeria.
Article Synopsis
- The study looked at whether patients who had emergency surgeries can eat food sooner (early feeding) or if they should wait longer before eating (delayed feeding).
- They found that more patients who started eating early had problems with their feeding, and many needed a tube to help them.
- Overall, patients who ate early spent more time in the hospital compared to those who waited to eat.
A comprehensive review of heart failure: Unraveling the etiology, decoding pathophysiological mechanisms, navigating diagnostic modalities, exploring pharmacological interventions, advocating lifestyle modifications, and charting the horizon of emerging therapies in the complex landscape of chronic cardiac dysfunction.

Ring Road State Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria.
Article Synopsis
- Heart failure (HF) is a complex health issue requiring a deep understanding of its causes, including genetics, hypertension, and coronary artery disease, as well as how it affects the heart's function over time.
- The review discusses important diagnostic tools like advanced imaging and biomarkers, alongside traditional and new medications that are changing HF treatment approaches.
- It also highlights the importance of lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, while exploring innovative therapies currently being researched to improve patient outcomes in managing heart failure.
The Iron Status of Children with and without Sickle Cell Disease at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Nigeria.
West Afr J Med
October 2023
Department of Paediatrics & Child Health, University of Ilorin and University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, PMB 1515, Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria.
Background: Children with sickle cell disease (SCD) are at potential risk of iron overload from chronic transfusion and probable iron deficiency due to accelerated growth. However, only few studies on the iron status of children with SCD in Nigeria are available.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study compared the iron status of 109 children with sickle cell disease with 109 age and sex-matched haemoglobin AA controls at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital.
Diphtheria in two Nigerian Hospitals: What is New and the Implications for Control.

We recorded three cases of faucial Diphtheria in two Nigerian hospitals between 2021 and 2022. Hitherto, no infections were documented in these hospitals in the prior ten years. All infected children missed their routine childhood vaccinations and presented with reduced feeding, a bull neck and a light yellowish throat or tonsillar pseudo-membrane.

Global Health Research Unit for the Genomic Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance, Department of Pharmaceutical Microbiology, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.
bloodstream infections are typically attributed to a limited number of lineages that carry virulence factors associated with invasiveness. In Nigeria, the identity of circulating clones is largely unknown and surveillance of their antimicrobial resistance has been limited. We verified and whole-genome sequenced 68 2016-2018 bloodstream isolates from three sentinel sites in South-Western Nigeria and susceptibility tested 67 of them.
