Published: December 2022

Context:Adolescent children are provided with lesser exercise duration and intensity due to academic priorities.Suryanamaskar(SN) may be a time-saving solution for their fitness enhancement.Aim:To determine the duration and number of SN required by adolescent children to match the exercise intensity of their regular physical education (PE) session.Materials and Methods:A cross-over study was conducted on 50 children, both genders, with a mean age of 13.9 ± 0.7 years, by a simple random sampling process. Their pulse rate (PR), respiratory rate (RR), and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) were measured pre- and immediately post participation in their routine PE session. After 24-h washout period, participants performed slow 12-step SN to match the PE session RPE post which their PR, RR, and number of SN performed were measured. Furthermore, their weekly duration of involvement in PE was documented. The PR, RR, and duration of PE/SN were compared using unmatchedt-test with α set at ≤0.05 at 95% confidence interval.Results:Adolescent children achieved RPE of 1.9 ± 1.4 post a 33.0 ± 9.0 min PE session which was matched in 9.4 ± 2.3 min of SN session (p< 0.05) at a similar PR (p= 0.25) and RR (p= 0.08). These children were found to be engaged in 75.6 ± 20.3 min of PE activity/week.Conclusion:A 9-min session consisting of nine SN matches the exercise intensity of a routine 33-min PE session in adolescent children.

La thrombose porte est rarement associée à l’anémie ferriprive au cours de la pancréatite chronique. Dans cet article, nous discutons d’une possible interaction entre la thrombose porte et l’anémie ferriprive survenue chez un homme de 56 ans porteur d’une pancréatite chronique, admis pour une douleur abdominale aiguë. Le scanner abdominal avait visualisé une thrombose porte associée à une pancréatite chronique. La seule anomalie biologique mise en évidence était une l’anémie ferriprive.

Published: December 2022

This study was conducted to investigate expression of neurons, glia and connective tissue markers in the habenulae and mammillary body of the Greater Cane Rat (GCR) using histological and immunohistochemical techniques. Four apparently healthy males GCR obtained from Lagos Nigeria were used for this experiment. The brains were harvested after perfusion, carefully dissected and post-fixed in 10% neutral-buffered-formalin (NBF) at 40C for 48 hours. Subsequently, tissue sections were prepared and stained using Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), Cresyl-violet, ionized calcium-binding-adapter molecule 1 (Iba1; microglia), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP; astrocytes), neuronal nuclei (NeuN; neurons) and collagen type 1 (Collagen1) antibodies. H&E and Cresyl-violet staining showed the neuronal nuclei and their fibres in the habenulae, mammillary body, and pial capsule that surround the mammillary body ventrally. Astrocytes in the habenulae showed positive immunoreaction to anti-GFAP while the mammillary body revealed expression of perivascular astrocytes and capsular astrocytes. Also, in the mammillary body, the perivascular microglia and meningeal microglia in the pial capsule showed immunopositive reaction to anti-Iba1 while the fibres within blood vessels and capsule were immunopositive to collagen type 1 antibody in the same structure. This work has provided the first cytoarchitectural features and clear description of expression of these specific markers in habenulae and mammillary body in the GCR, which are similar to other rodents but with slight variations.

Early cardiac development is governed by transcription factor genes. TBX5, a T-box transcription factor gene, plays an important role in the development of the second heart field during cardiac septation by promoting cell cycle progression through the enhancement of Cdk6 and hedgehog signaling pathways. TBX5 binds to the promoter region of genes, enhancing the expression of alpha cardiac myosin heavy chain 6 (MYH6), which is a predominant isoform found in human cardiac tissue. TBX5 gene mutations are postulated to cause congenital heart diseases. A casecontrol TBX5 mutational analysis was performed to provide insight into the etiology of sporadic congenital heart diseases in our setting. We used a magnetic induction cycler (mic-PCR), which is a next-generation tool for polymerase chain reaction-high resolution melting assays, to detect mutations in children with sporadic isolated congenital heart diseases. A retrospective casecontrol study was conducted at the Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute. The peripheral blood samples were collected, and DNA was extracted using the Quick-DNA Miniprep Kit. The primers were designed using Primer 3 software, validated using the program BLAST, and checked for hairpin and homo-hetero-dimerization using the IDT oligo analyzer. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-high-resolution melting assays for screening TBX5 gene mutations were done using a magnetic induction cycler. We found two (2) TBX5 mutations in exon 5, among patients with Atrial-Ventral Septal Defects (ASVD) and Atrial-Septal Defects (ASD) and none among controls. TBX5 exon 5 is a molecular hotspot for isolated congenital heart diseases.

The horseshoe kidney (HK) is a very rare renal malformation. It designates a transposition by fusion of the parenchymas of the two poles of the kidney. Its discovery is incidental to an autopsy. However, it is most often asymptomatic. Thus, we report a case of horseshoe kidney accidental discovery in a 58- year-old man. We take this opportunity to review the literature on embryological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of this malformation, which is one of the renal ectopies diagnosed in sub-Saharan Africa.

A true estimation of gestational age (GA) plays an important role in quality maternity care and scheduling the labor date. This study was to evaluate the application of kidney length (KL) measurement to the determine GA between the 14th and 40th weeks and to compare its accuracy with that of other fetal biometric indices. This study has been designed as a prospective descriptive cross-sectional study in Khartoum and Gezira states - Sudan. 389 Sudanese healthy pregnant women, age between 15 – 45 years were examined by ultrasound with normal and wellbeing fetuses. Linear regression models for estimation of GA were derived from the biometric indices and kidney length. Also, stepwise regression models were constructed to detect the best model for determining GA between 14 and 40 weeks. Comparisons were then made between the accuracy of these models in the determination of GA. The equations derived from linear regression analysis when the individual variables were considered separately. Among the variable parameters considered in this study, the most accurate was the kidney length with a standard error (SE) of (0.04) day, after that the biparietal diameter with (SE=0.10 day) and femur length, (SE=0.13 day). While the least accurate one was the abdominal circumference with an SE of 1.35 days. A significant correlation was found between GA and KL (r=0.72, P<0.002). The Kidney length is the easy to identify and measure. It is the most accurate parameter for estimating GA than other biometric indices in late 2nd and 3rd trimesters.

Bronchial distribution and functional arterial vascularization of the upper lobe of the right lung are subject to many anatomical variations. The control of these variations is essential for endoscopic and agiographic examinations. It also offers a better guarantee for safe and controlled surgery. In this preliminary work, the exploitation of 15 heart-lung blocks treated by the injection corrosion method allowed us to study the general arrangement of the broncho-arteries of the right upper lung lobe and their anatomical variations in the Senegalese population. Our results were as follows: the right upper lobar bronchus was born on average at 1.25 cm from the tracheal bifurcation, with an average length of 1.13 cm. It ended with trifurcation into apical (B1), dorsal (B2) and ventral (B3) segmental bronchi in 10 cases (66.66%); in 3 cases (20%), it ended with bifurcation into the dorsal segmental bronchus and the apico-ventral trunk (B1+B3) (1 case), the apico-dorsal trunk (B1+B2) and the ventral segmental bronchus (B3), finally, in ventral and dorsal segmentary bronchi giving each one an apical branch (1 case); in a last case, it ended by quadrifurcation, giving an external parabronche. The right upper lobe was vascularized by 1 to 4 arteries, with eight modes of vascularization. It received more frequently two arteries. The anterior mediastinal artery was the most common (100%). These results allowed us to discuss anatomical variations in the bronchial tree of the right upper lung lobe and the pulmonary arterial distribution in that lobe. These variations must be taken into account during endoscopic examinations of imaging and surgery of pulmonary excision, under penalty of accidents.

Published: December 2022

This research was aimed at determining the efficacy of solar radiation as a good source of reducing microbial load in water and the determination of Bisphenol- A concentration in bottled water and sachet water. The parameters evaluated are: Total bacterial count, Total fungi count, Salmonella Shigella, Coliform, Bisphenol A, pH, Dissolve oxygen, Total dissolve solid, Turbidity, total hardness. The bacteria genera isolated are; Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas sp, Echerichia coli, Klebsiella sp, Salmonella sp, Bacillus sp. Micrococcus sp. Proteus sp. Corynebacterium sp. The fungi genera isolated are Penicillium sp, Aspergillus niger, Mucor sp. Cadida sp. Fusarium sp. These organisms reduce as the number of hours of exposure increases. The Bisphenol A concentration increases as the exposure time increases. The study revealed that solar radiation (sunlight) is a good source of water disinfection. The study however recommends the use of PET Polyethylene Terephthalate bottle in water purification using sunlight since PET bottles contains much less additives than bottles made from Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC)

Authors: Onyeodi IA , Akintelure S , Oladipo AT , Fashola TO 
Published: December 2022

Background: Prostate cancer is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Prevalence rates of prostate cancer within Africa show Nigeria is ranked among countries with the highest prevalence. Improvement in the knowledge and attitude towards screening practices prevents millions of deaths yearly with a potential to prevent much more. This study assessed the knowledge, attitude and screening practices for prostate cancer among men in an urban community in Lagos, Nigeria.
Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study among 270 men selected by multistage sampling technique. Data was collected using pretested intervieweradministered questionnaire and analyzed using Epi info 7.2 statistical software. Chisquare and Fisher’s exact tests were used to determine statistical associations. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The mean age of the respondents was 49.4±8.0 years. Sixty-seven (24.8%) had no knowledge of risk factors for prostate cancer. Overall, 33 (15.2%) of the respondents had good knowledge while 28 (58.4%) had positive attitude. Only 24 (11.0%) had ever been screened. The major reason for lack of prostate cancer screening was lack of knowledge about the disease. Good knowledge (p<0.001) and positive attitudes (p=0.003) were significantly associated with good screening practices.
Conclusion: Although knowledge of prostate cancer was poor, attitude to prostate cancer screening was majorly positive. Sadly, this did not translate into good screening practices. There should be increased public awareness on prostate cancer and screening modalities available by relevant stakeholders to enhance uptake of prostate cancer screening to ameliorate the burden of the disease in Nigeria.

Published: December 2022

Background: Respectful maternity care (RMC) is an effective strategy for improving the quality of care experienced by women during facility-based childbirth. A lack of RMC is a key factor driving both the low proportions of facility-based deliveries and high maternal and neonatal mortality. This study was conducted to assess the experiences and predictors of RMC among women of reproductive age in Benin City, Edo State.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among mothers in Benin City, who had facility-based childbirth within three months of the study. Respondents were selected using a two-stage sampling technique. Data was collected using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire. RMC was assessed using 15-item RMC scale in four domains and analysed using IBM SPSS version 22.0. Binary logistic regression was conducted to determine significant predictors of RMC. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: A total of 393 women with a mean age (SD) of 33.42 (7.4) years participated in the study. Overall, 141 (35.9%) of respondents experienced RMC. Friendly care, abuse free care, timely care and discrimination free care were experienced by 147 (37.4%), 211 (53.7%), 252 (64.1%), and 124 (31.6%) respectively. Formal education [AOR = 0.318 (0.106-0.956)], primiparity/multiparity [AOR = 0.527 (0.294-0.945)] and use of public facility for childbirth [AOR = 1.623 (1.047-2.516)] were significant predictors of RMC.
Conclusion: The proportion of respondents who experienced RMC was low in the studied population. Effective communication and engagement of health care providers is essential for the provision of RMC in all contexts and settings.

Birkaç Kültepe metinde tanrılara ve tanrıların heykel veya temsillerinin bulunduğu kutsal odalara ait kült eşyaları konu edilmiştir. İlk kez bu makalede tanıtılan, 1949 yılı kazılarında bulunan Kt b/k 93+167 numaralı belgede de hangi tanrıya ait oldukları belirtilmemiş kült eşyaları listelenmiştir. Puzur-Aššur adlı bir şahsa teslim edilen bu eşyalar arasında, metinlerde ilk kez geçen, anlamı bilinmeyen bazı nesneler, kuş ve boğa başı biçimli kadeh ya da kaplar, muhtemelen tanrısal simgeler olan bir yay ve topuzu altın ve meteor demirinden yapılmış bir hançer bulunmaktadır. Belgede yeterli bilgi olmaması bu listenin bağlamı ile ilgili doyurucu bir yorum yapılmasına imkan vermese de, eşyaların bir tüccarın kişisel şapeline ait olduğu düşünülebilir.
1949 yılı Kültepe kazılarında 850 civarında çivi yazılı belge bulunmuştur. Belgeler üzerinde henüz detaylı bir çalışma yapılmamış olmakla birlikte, Amur-Aššur ve Karriya’nın oğlu Ennam-Aššur isimleri arşiv sahibi olarak ön plana çıkmaktadır. Bu şahısların aynı aileden mi olduğu yoksa birbirinden bağımsız iki farklı tüccara ait arşivlerin mi söz konusu olduğu belgeler üzerinde devam eden çalışmalar sonunda netleşecektir.

Kenyataan yang sangat memprihatinkan ini disaksikan sendiri oleh peneliti ketika mengadakan prapenelitian di SD Negeri 3 Macorawalie Kabupaten Sidrap. Peneliti melakukan observasi pada guru kelas V. Dari hasil observasi, diketahui bahwa murid kesulitan dalam menerjemahkan soal cerita dalam kalimat matematika. Selain itu, murid sulit mengecek hasil yag diperoleh. Hal ini tentu berdampak pada rendahnya kualitas pembelajaran. Berdasarkan permasalahan di atas maka diperlukan pertimbanagan untuk menggunakan metode yang dapat membantu siswa memahami pelajaran FPB dan KPK dalam bentuk soal cerita. Metode yang dimaksud adalah metode accelerated learning (pemercepatan pembelajaran). Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan penelitian tindakan kelas (classroom action research). Subjek penelitian adalah siswa kelas V SD Negeri 3 Macorawalie Kabupaten Sidrap dengan jumlah siswa 25 orang yang terdiri dari 15 siswa laki dan 10 siswa perempuan. Data dikumpulkan melalui metode tes, wawancara, dan metode observasi. Pada siklus I belum dikatakan berhasil. Hal ini dapat dilihat dengan perolehan nilai tes formatif yang berkisar 7 orang yang memperoleh nilai minimal 70 dengan ketuntasan belajar 28%. Pada siklus II sudah mengalami kenaikan yaitu ada 13 orang memperoleh nilai minimal 70 dengan ketuntasan belajar 52%. Pada siklus III, sebanyak 25 orang (semua siswa) telah memperoleh nilai rata-rata 70 dengan ketuntasa belajar 100%. Pembelajaran melalui metode accelerated learning dapat meningkatkan hasil pembelajaran FPB dan KPK dalam bentuk soal cerita siswa.
