Fish is an important and cheap protein source for human consumption in developing countries. It is the second most popular source of protein diet in both rural and urban communities in Nigeria. Fisheries resources contribute about 5.40% to the nation's gross domestic product (GDP) through income generation, employment, food security, and foreign exchange earnings. Despite the significant contributions of fisheries to the Nigerian economy, the aquatic ecosystem is prone to pollution from human activities which increases the chances of transmission of parasitic infections, which are detrimental to aquatic and human life. The present study assessed the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminths of tilapia fish from different market sources in the Maiduguri metropolitan council of Borno State, Northeastern Nigeria. Samples of fresh Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fish (n= 125), comprising 50 juveniles and 75 adults, were screened for gastrointestinal helminths using standard parasitological methods. Twenty-nine (23.2%) harboured at least one helminth parasite. Of the 29 positive individual fish samples, 16% (n=20), 4% (n=5), 2.4% (n=3), and 0.8% (n=1) were infected by Acanthocephala, Cestode, Nematode, and Trematodes, respectively. The infection rate was higher in adults (26%) than juveniles (18%) and in females (23.5%) than males (22.8%). Fish samples from Baga markets showed higher infection rates than the other two market sources. Sex, age, and location were not significantly associated with parasite recovery rate (p>0.05). The study concluded that Nile tilapia fish sold in Maiduguri metropolis were infected with different groups of helminths, underscoring public health risks to farmers, sellers, and consumers. Therefore, fish farmers should regularly consult veterinarians for advice on good fish management practices and observe proper hygienic handling of harvested fish at the farm level, during transportation to fish markets, and processing. The public should thoroughly clean and properly cook fish for human consumption.

Reconciliation with Nature through the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Authors: Podger Owen Main 
Published: November 2023

The people of Bali offer sacrifices daily for the peace they experience with nature. But nature is not at peace with the people of Bali, or anywhere else, because people use technologies of past industrial revolutions that harm the balance with nature, and nature is responding with harm to humanity. This paper asks how can we change, using the capabilities of the fourth industrial revolution, to placate nature. Misuse of technology is not confined to Bali and the Balinese, but to all humanity. After describing some key ways we do nature harm by misuse of old technology, and nature’s retribution (including climate change, air pollution, plastics, abuse of land and water) the paper suggests some distinctly Balinese and Indonesian ways to address them, and a summary of the political and administrative changes that this would require. It concludes with thoughts on the relevance of this for the rest of the world.

Objectives: Prompt diagnosis and management of hypertension, particularly in younger patients, are crucial to reducing complications, mortality, and expenses. A thorough history and careful physical examination are key steps. This article illustrates one such unusual case that had a subtle presentation and went undiagnosed until it was brought to our attention.
Methodology: A 30-year-old male patient with a history of fatigue, poor exercise tolerance, and mild headaches was diagnosed with hypertension. He was commenced on amlodipine and had no family history of cardiac diseases or secondary hypertension. The patient appeared weak and thin, with a BMI of 16.6 kg/m2. His radial pulse was regular and 98 bpm, and his brachial blood pressure was recorded at 190/90 mmHg. Further examination revealed weak lower limb pulses, a radio-femoral delay, and an ankle blood pressure of 100/60 mmHg. A 3/6 systolic murmur was noted at the aortic area. Routine laboratory investigations revealed a chest x-ray showing notching of the ribs and an absent aortic knob. A transthoracic echocardiogram was performed, but it did not provide conclusive results. A CT angiography of the chest revealed a complete interruption of the aorta just below the left subclavian artery in a "rat tail fashion." The aortic valve was normal, and no other aortic or cardiac pathology was found. The patient was diagnosed with IAA type A and surgical correction was suggested. Antihypertensive medication was given to achieve blood pressure control, and surgical correction was done involving end-to-end anastomosis. The patient's postoperative period was uneventful, and at four weeks, his symptoms subsided, and his blood pressure was 130/80 mmHg without antihypertensive medications.
Results: The patient had an interrupted Aortic Arch type A and underwent treatment with antihypertensive medications and surgical correction. After a month, symptoms subsided, blood pressure was 130/80 mmHg, and pulses were bilaterally normal. Post-op CT Aortogram showed good anatomic continuity and no complications.
Conclusion: Mild symptoms might only be the tip of an iceberg, calling for further exploration. IAA, despite its rarity, should be considered a potential cause of hypertension.

Objectives: To assess reasons for lack of awareness regarding rheumatic heart disease among patients diagnosed with rheumatic heart disease.
Methodology: In this cross-sectional study was conducted at the outpatient department of a tertiary care cardiac centre. We included consecutive patients of either gender between 18 to 60 years of age with the established diagnosis of RHD. Their knowledge and awareness regarding the disease itself and regarding its primary and secondary prevention and treatment options was assessed with the help of a structured self-developed questionnaire. Collected data was entered and analyzed using IBM SPSS 19.
Results: A total of 502 patients were enrolled with almost equal number of male and female patients. Mean ± SD for patient age was 37.3 ± 10.9 years. Majority had received primary school education or above. 40% of the patients were not aware of rheumatic valvular heart disease as their diagnosis. Less than half of patients knew childhood fever and sore throat as cause of their disease. 72.6% of the patients were not aware of prophylactic treatment for the disease. 77.2% were referred to a cardiologist after more than four weeks. 47.9% of patients were not properly counselled about their disease.
Conclusion: There was a very high incidence of lack of awareness regarding RHD among affected patients. Moreover, there was high incidence of inadequate physician-patient counselling about the disease and late referral to cardiologist. Healthcare providers should educate their patients, fostering community-based interventions this ultimately will lead to decrease morbidity and mortality among patients diagnosed with RHD and will help in early detection and prevention of RHD.
