Fetal gestational age calculation has been found to be influenced by differences in race. Discrepancy has been noted on previous studies done on fetal neck circumference and area measurements which were attributed to racial difference. This study was aimed at correlating fetal neck circumference and area with common gestational age predictors in second and third trimesters and to determine whether there is racial difference between Nigerians and Caucasians. This prospective cross ...

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of axial T2 and axial 3D FIESTAmagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences in the evaluation of cervical spondylosis.Thespecific objectives were to: (i) compare the accuracy of axial T2 and axial 3D FIESTA MRIsequences in the diagnosis of cervical spondylosis, (ii) compare the quality of images (signal-tonoiseratio, contrast-to-noise ratio and artefact due to flow) produced from both sequences and(iii) ascertain the association...
ABSTRACTGongronema latifolium is an edible tropical rainforest plant traditionally used as a spice,staple vegetable and in the treatment and management of diabetes. Extensive studies haveestablished its hypoglycaemic effect. However, scanty information is available on themechanism by which it exerts its hypoglycaemic effect. Studies have noted the presence ofsaponin in G. latifolium, a component noted to affect gastric emptying (GE). Presently, thepossible effect of G. latifolium on ...
AbstractRegional variations in splenic size and spleen parenchymal echo-texture among sickle celldisease (SCD) patients have been documented in various publications. The objectives of thisstudy were to: determine and compare the spleen size of SCD patients with those of the control;characterize the spleen parenchymal echo-texture of SCD patients; and ascertain the relationshipsof age, height and weight with the spleen sizes of SCD patients and the controls.This was a cross sectional pro...
This study is analytic and descriptive study done in the Western Kordofan Town of Elnohud in the period from June 2016 to September 2016, to evaluate first trimester pregnancy with vaginal bleeding by using gray scale ultrasound. The main purpose of this study is to determine the causes of first trimester vaginal bleeding and to correlate between patient age ,gravids and ultrasound findings. This study used the Universal Protocol in the work of ultrasound fo...
Spleen is enlarged in a variety of clinical conditions including infectious, infiltrative, immunologic and malignant states. Evaluation of splenic size is important in every physical examination of the abdomen by a physician.Determination of its size by palpation can be extremely inaccurate because spleen is never palpable till it is enlarged 2 to 3 times its own size. The accurate diagnosis of splenic enlargement is a matter of considerable importance as it is a usef...

The main goal of the study is to obtainment good CT abdomen can been diagnosable on bowel pathologys and bowel wall problems...
ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to assess the normal thyroid volume among children in studypopulation by ultrasonography and compare with values from previous works. The research wasa prospective cross sectional study. A sample population of children between 2months to 17yearswas selected. They were volunteers drawn from daycare centres, nursery, primary and postprimary schools in Uyo metropolis. Those that met the inclusion criteria were scanned at theschool clinics where their height ...
ABSTRACT Introduction: Over the years, ultrasound imaging has been used to diagnose neurological abnormalities of neonates in general and premature infants in particular. This is because the anatomy of the neonatal brain can be demonstrated on ultrasound images with high precision. Neonatal sonography is possible because the fontanelles of the skull allow ultrasound beam to penetrate to the brain tissue. In Ghana, little or no data is available on the prevalence of neuro abnormalitie...
ABSTRACT Harvesting rainwater for domestic use is one of the oldest technologies developed by man. In Ghana, groundwater utilization challenges posed by dry wells and high levels of contaminants such as iron, fluoride and other minerals in some geological formations makes harnessing of rainwater for household use inevitable. Whiles researchers are looking for efficient ways of dealing with contaminants associated with these water sources, focus is gradually shifting to the developme...

ABSTRACTA six weeks old infant presented with scalp ulcer and fever, and on examination was found to have resonant percussion notes bilaterhlly. The initial chest radiograph revealed multiple lucencies which were initially thought to be due to diaphragmatic hernia, but the dilemma was resolved bf; Computerised tomography which revealed the lucencies to be multiple cysts characteristics of Congenital Cystic Aaenomatiod Malformation (CCAM) type II.
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a functional neuroimaging technique for mapping brain activity by recording magnetic fields produced by electrical currents occurring naturally in the brain, using very sensitive magnetometers. Arrays of SQUIDs(Superconducting quantum interference devices) are currently the most common magnetometer, while the SERF(pin exchange relaxation- free) magnetometer is being investigated for future machines.
