Genetic variability in a crop population is important for successful plant breeding.Sixteen cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) genotypes were evaluated the early and late planting seasons to estimate magnitude of their genetic heritability.Genotypes also classified into groups based on performance determination highest discriminating trait that accounted greater using cluster analysis principal component (PCA), respectively.The measured agronomic traits vine length, number branches, leaves, leaf...
Prostate cancer remains a significant public health issue globally, with considerable disparities in diagnostic and management practices, especially Africa. Traditional methods such as transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsies have limitations accuracy are associated potential complications. Emerging targeted biopsy techniques promise improved detection rates reduced morbidity but face adoption challenges across the African continent due to variable access advanced imaging technologies...
PURPOSE Optimal survival outcomes of prostate cancer are best achieved through high-quality care for curable disease. In Nigeria, various barriers may impede the curative treatment cancer, yet their impact on and patient remains anecdotal. This study assessed quality, outcomes, interhospital differences these metrics among patients with clinically localized in Nigeria. METHODS A retrospective clinical stage T1-T3a, M0 at three tertiary hospitals Nigeria over a 3-year period was conducted....
The objective of this work was to evaluate four parental lines cucumber which included: 'Zeina' (Zna), 'Beit Alpha' (BA), 'Straight 8' (Strght 8) and 'Calypso' (Capso) six F1s generated by diallel cross, using randomized complete block design with three replications study heterosis combining ability for yield component traits. Estimated showed that cross 'Zna × Capso' had the highest Better Parent (BP) in total fruit yield/ha while 'BA Mid (MP) same trait. Significant general (GCA) specific...
Vegetative propagation of Gongronema latifolia Benth commonly used as a forest leafy vegetable and spice, was studied in three rooting media (sawdust, ricehull and soil) under two seasons Nsukka. The study showed that G. could be effectively propagated by stem cuttings. There significant reduction number days to shoot initiation growth sawdust medium the wet season. Sawdust soil gave better performance cuttings opening apical buds, of shoots, percentage rooted cuttings, vines, vine length...
Abstract Background Prostate cancer mortality rates are high in Nigeria. While prostate is highly curable with early detection and effective multidisciplinary management, the quality of care suboptimal this setting. Sustainable delivery high-quality for patients localized needed to save more lives. To inform future interventions improve care, study aimed identify barriers facilitators that influence management Methods Six focus group discussions (FGDs), stratified by stakeholders were...
Parental lines, F1 generation of domesticated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) and Lycopersicon pimpinellifolium L. were evaluated at Department Crop Science, University Nigeria, Nsukka for improvement in their quantitative traits. The experiment was laid out a randomized complete block design with three replications. Data collected on the traits fruit yield. Better Parent Heterosis (BPH), genetic variances, gene effects heritability estimated hybrids. BPH result showed that Wild × Petomech...
Eleven rice genotypes obtained from National Cereals Research Institute, Badeggi, Nigeria, and a local variety were evaluated under field culture in Nsukka for period of two years (1998 1999). Multiple correlation path coefficient analysis used to study yield components. Genotypic stability was performed on the traits most related using mean yield-coefficient variation (CV). The genotype, ITA 324 had highest grain percentage fertile spikelets both years. All components significantly (p =...
The variability among 18 accessions of Telfairia occidentalis were studied by examining their yield and component traits. collected from four local government areas in Enugu State, Nigeria. experiment was performed a randomized complete block design replicated three times. Ih-M accession gave the highest fruit circumference average weight that significantly higher than Ih-L accession. Ib-S total number fruits per hectare. PCA result showed first principal components explained 86.91%...
The understanding of yield and the interaction with its components is very important for selection in early generations crop breeding. Twelve maize genotypes were collected from International Institute Tropical Agriculture (IITA) along seven landraces order to identify contribution different traits improvement. experiments carried out two seasons (March/April-early July/August- late) a randomized complete block design three replications. Early season planting had higher grain than late...
Sixteen exotic and indigenous cucumber genotypes (Cucumis sativus L.) were evaluated under early late seasons planting. This was to characterize the based on their performance in derived savannah of Southeast Nigeria agro-ecological zone estimate character association contribution towards total fruit yield per hectare. The vegetative traits, such as vine length, number branches, leaves leaf area measured at 8 weeks after phonological traits were: days flower initiation 50% flowering....
To determine the significance of intravesical prostatic protrusion in evaluation bladder outlet obstruction from benign enlargement Jos, Nigeria. A hospital based cross-sectional prospective study that included patients who presented to Urology clinic Jos University Teaching Hospital, Nigeria with clinical features BPE. Each had IPSS, Qmax, IPP, PV, PVR and PSA measured. IPP was measured through transabdominal ultrasound scan along mid sagittal view millimetre using a curvilinear probe 3.5...
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is accepted as the first-line treatment of advanced prostate cancer. This study sets out to determine outcomes ADT in reducing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) patients with cancer and also quality life (QoL) patients.This was a prospective carried at Jos University Teaching Hospital. All consecutive who had LUTS due were recruited into study. completed international symptom score (IPSS) questionnaire, including QoL assessment. Post-void residual (PVR)...

Background: Urinary stones affect 8%–15% of the world population. In Nigeria, contemporary reports have shown that incidence urinary is rising. The distal ureter has been described as most common location ureteric stones. This study seeks to review our experience in ureteroscopic management with a view appraising stone clearance rate and complications seen patients. Patients Methods: descriptive reviewed record 21 patients, who had semirigid ureteroscopy pneumatic lithotripsy for between...
Studies were carried out to determine seed germination and dormancy of Solanum melongena cv. Ngwa local large and methods overcome during maturation (midful seed=MS; full seed=FS; sign of ripening=SR; greenish red=GR red=FR). Seed was tested for fresh, dried stored seeds processed by cut fruits squeeze (Csq), dry; fruits, ferment, wash dry (CF) on whole fruit (DOF). Seeds reached physiological maturity (maximum weight) at the FR stage. Germination fresh showed that all developmental stages...
Introduction: St Mary’s Mission Hospital manages many inflammatory and traumatic urethral strictures. Previously, we treated strictures with dilatation, but high recurrence poor patient satisfaction necessitated adoption of reconstructive procedures since 2017.Objective: To review the scope, outcome complications urethroplasties using data collected prospectively.Methods: All cases one-stage urethroplasty were included. Patient biodata pre-operative adverse factors analyzed.Results: 23 male...
An experiment to ascertain the influence of fruit size on yield fluted pumpkin (Telfairia occidentalis Hook F.) was conducted in 2011 and 2012 at Nsukka. The mature fruits T. were graded into three length groups: large (more than 50 cm), medium (34-50 cm) small (less 34 cm). laid out randomized complete block design with six replications. following data collected: longest vine, number leaves/plant, vine diameter, marketable leaf yield.
