CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background of the study: The neck represents anatomically a small part of the human body between the head and the thorax. Due to its unique position, it conveys vital structures that communicate between the head and other parts of the human body. It contains conduit of respiration, deglutition and blood to and from the brain as well as important endocrine and neural structures. The structural development of the neck...
SONOGRAPHIC DETERMINATION OF GESTATIONAL AGE IN THE SECOND AND THIRD TRIMESTER FROM TRANSVERSE CEREBELLAR DIAMETER AMONG PREGNANT WOMEN
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study: Accurate knowledge of fetal gestational age (GA) is important for the attainment of best possible antenatal care and successful pregnancy outcome. Ultrasound is a useful modality for the assessment of gestational age (GA) and this can greatly impact on obstetric management and improve ante partum care (Robin et al., 2009). The routine use
of diagnostic ultrasound in obstetrics may be largely due to its...
SONOGRAPHIC ESTIMATION OF GESTATIONAL AGE BY PLACENTAL THICKNESS AMONG PREGNANT WOMEN IN ENUGU, NIGERIA
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study: The placenta is an organ that connects the developing fetus to the mother. The placenta performs respiratory, excretory, nutritional and endocrine functions for the fetus. It transfers gases, such as oxygen and carbondioxide, waste products like urea, nutrients like glucose and hormones between the maternal and fetal circulation (Kelvin, 1994). In addition, the placenta protects the fetus from immune attack by the mother and ind...

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background to the Study: Urolithiasis is the development of calculi anywhere in the urinary system which may result in many complications including renal failure (Tempkins, 1999). Renal calculi can cause obstruction and urinary stasis that ultimately leads to infection and possible destruction of renal parenchyma. They may be solitary or multiple and can vary in size from small stones to large staghorn calculous that fills the coll...

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY: Medical imaging is a rapidly developing branch of modern medicine. It has in the past few decades evolved into a highly sophisticated diagnostic tool. It has improved the study of human internal anatomy and to an extent physiology and detection of pathologies which were previously impossible. The field has kept pace with other rapidly developing branches of medicine. At thi...

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION: Background of the Study
The human eye is the sense organ with which we view the world. We use our eyes in almost every activity we perform whether reading, working, watching television, writing a letter, driving a car and in countless other ways (Lauterbur, 2003). Most people probably would agree that sight is the sense they value more than all the rest. The eye allows us to see and interpret the shapes, colours a...

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION: Background of the Study
In contemporary clinical practice, neck pain according to Rana et al., (2011), is prevalent in approximately 15% of the general population. Cervical spondylosis is a disorder of the cervical spine and it is a common cause of neck pain (Takagi et al, 2001). It is characterized by chronic intervertebral disc degeneration, abnormal wear on the cartilage and bones of the cervical spine. According to Okada et al., (2009), cervic...

View DetailsSONOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF GONGRONEMA LATIFOLIUM ON GASTRIC EMPTYING OF SEMI - SOLID MEALS IN HEALTHY, DIABETIC AND GASTROPARETIC DOGS
ABSTRACT
Gongronema latifolium is an edible tropical rainforest plant traditionally used as a spice, staple vegetable and in the treatment and management of diabetes. Extensive studies have established its hypoglycaemic effect. However, scanty information is available on the mechanism by which it exerts its hypoglycaemic effect. Studies have noted the presence of saponin in G. latifolium, a component noted to affect gastric emptying (GE). Presently, the possible effect of G. latifol...

ABSTRACT: This study was aimed at establishing a relationship between prostate volume (PV) and prostate specific antigen (PSA).This was a cross -sectional survey design involving 500 asymptomatic male subjects aged 30 -45 years in Port Harcourt, South-South, Nigeria between January, 2014 and October, 2015. This was conducted with a view to establish the basis for inferences when screening the populations for benign prostatic hyperplasia and other prostatic pathologies such as...
View DetailsSONOGRAPHIC ASSESSMENT OF RENAL PARENCHYMAL AND MEDULLARY PYRAMID THICKNESSES AMONG HEALTHY CHILDREN IN SELECTED SCHOOLS IN ENUGU, NIGERIA
ABSTRACT: Renal parenchymal thickness (RPT) and renal medullary pyramid thickness (MPT) are important renal size parameters and there is no existing ultrasound normogram for RPT and MPT among children in our locality. Thus, this study was aimed at establishing normal values for RPT and MPT among children in Enugu metropolis; establishing the relationship between RPT and MPT with age, height, body weight, body mass index (BMI) and body surface area (BSA) among the subjects; es...

View DetailsA COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THERAPEUTIC EFFICACY OF DOUBLE – MODALITY THERAPY, PHONOPHORESIS AND CRYOTHERAPY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF MUSCULOSKELETAL INJURIES IN JOS
Abstract
Musculoskeletal injuries ( MSIs ) account for approximately 25% of
patients‟ complaints in the primary health care settings and are a leading cause of work absenteeism world-wide. Physical treatments like phonophoresis ( PH ) and cryotherapy ( CRYO ) are being used to reduce pain, control swelling and improve function. The recognition of the importance of pain control in the recovery from MSIs has prompted clinicians to continue to explore more aggressive pain man...
