INTRODUCTION: the use of endoscopy in the surgical management of a wide range of ailments has revolutionised the practice of surgery. Endoscopy however has been underutilised in developing nations. Optimal training exposure during the residency training program is considered as very crucial to the improvement of endoscopy practice in this region. The objective of this study was to evaluate the perception and endoscopy training exposure of resident doctors in gynaecology, general surgery and urology in four residency training centres in Abuja...

This study examines the mental health of migrants under international legal texts and clinical practice. It highlights to what extent the right to mental health of migrants is guaranteed in international legal texts. It then relates this right to national practice in France. It determines practice guidelines addressing migrants' mental health. The purpose of this clinical study is to identify the adequacy of international legal texts to guarantee this right as an integral part of human rights. The individual in his or her singularity is at the heart of our work...

INTRODUCTION: cancer is a potentially serious disease. The announcement of a cancer diagnosis is bad news. This diagnosis is experienced differently from one person to the next. Patient's behaviour and compliance reflects specific behaviors of relatives. Alternative treatments are commonly used in oncology in some African countries. The purpose of this study was to establish cancer patients' experience, the extent of the use of alternative treatments and factors influencing their choices...

INTRODUCTION: we compared the antimicrobial resistance profile of young infants' clinical isolates (from blood samples) of Staphylococcus epidermidis and haemolyticus with those colonizing mothers, clinical staff, and students. Also, screened for resistance to the watch and reserve classified groups, antibiotics not prescribed in the Ho Teaching Hospital (HTH), Ghana. METHODS: a cross-sectional study was conducted from March to June 2018 to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of twenty-one antimicrobials for 123 isolates consisting of 54 S...

INTRODUCTION: malaria remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developing tropical and subtropical nations. Due to the emergence and spread of drug resistance to currently available drugs, there is a need for the search of novel, safe, and reasonably affordable anti-malarial medications. The objective of this study was to assess the in vivoanti-malarial effectiveness of Avicennia marina stem bark extracts in a mice model. METHODS: guidelines 425 of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development were used to determine the extracts' acute toxicity...

INTRODUCTION: World Health Organization (WHO) has developed HIV specific quality of life tool called World Health Organization Quality of Life brief questionnaire in HIV population (WHOQOL-HIV BREF) for assessing the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Despite its sound validity and reliability from several studies, the developers recommend it to be validated in different cultures to assess its psychometric properties before its adoption. The study aimed at evaluating the validity and reliability of the Kiswahili version of the WHOQOL-HIV BREF questionnaire in Tanzania among people living with HIV/AIDS...

Aortic dissection is an uncommon yet frequently fatal illness. Patients generally present with tearing chest pain with possible acute hemodynamic instability. Hence, early diagnosis and intervention is critical for survival. This is a case of a 62-year-old male who was transferred to our emergency department for severe chest pain, left side hemiplegia, left hemianopsia, left facial weakness, suggesting a right-sided stroke. A chest computed tomography angiogram showed an extensive circumferential aortic dissection of the intimal layer involving the great vessels...

Central pontine myelinolysis is a demyelinating disorder mainly affecting the central pons. In some cases, it is associated with extrapontine myelinolysis. It is usually caused by rapid correction of hyponatremia and osmotic shock. We here report the case of a 3.5-year-old girl diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia admitted to our Oncology Unit with neutropenic fever and diarrhea. Laboratory tests showed mild neutropenia, normochromic normocytic anemia. Electrolyte tests were normal without hyponatremia...

INTRODUCTION: atherosclerosis develops insidiously, offering time and opportunities for early detection. Screening for subclinical atherosclerosis via structural wall changes and flow velocities among apparently healthy adults using carotid ultrasonography may help its early detection, offer timely intervention and reduce morbidity and mortality. METHODS: a cross-sectional study of 100 participants with a mean age of 56.1 ± 6.9 years, were enrolled from a community population...

Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most common congenital cardiac anomaly with a prevalence of 1.17 per 1000 live births. Haemodynamically significant VSDs require closure either surgical or transcatheter. We report a case of transcatheter device closure of a moderate-sized perimembranous ventricular septal defect (PmVSD), the first of its kind in Nigeria. The procedure was performed on a 23-month-old female weighing 10 kg who had presented with a history of frequent pneumonia and poor weight gain and signs of heart failure...

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has stretched the medical resources of both developed and developing countries. The global focus on COVID-19 may lead to the neglect of other infectious diseases such as malaria which is still endemic in many African countries. Some similarities in malaria and COVID-19 disease presentations may also lead to late diagnosis of either disease which could complicate the effects. Here, we present two cases of a 6-year-old child and a 17-year-old female who presented to a primary care facility in Ghana with a clinical and microscopy-confirmed diagnosis of severe malaria complicated by thrombocytopenia...

INTRODUCTION: food-producing animals harbour pathogenic and antibiotic resistant bacteria which can be transmitted to humans. Resistance to carbapenems may complicate treatment resulting to debilitating consequences. This study aimed at determining the susceptibility of Enterobacteriaceae to carbapenems and to compare the resistant patterns of E. coli strains isolated from clinical and zoonotic sources. METHODS: this was a cross-sectional study involving patients presenting at the Bamenda Regional Hospital and abattoir samples...

INTRODUCTION: lack of adequate sanitation facilities remain a major concern in developing countries. While around 41% of Cameroonians lack access to improved sanitation facilities, the 2011 National Survey revealed a diarrhoea incidence rate of 21% in children under five years, two weeks before interview. This study aimed at evaluating the influence of latrine coverage and usage on diarrhoeic disease outcomes among children under 5. METHODS: a cross-sectional study was carried out in March 2016 in pre-selected slums areas of Douala 5th district...
