This study is to determine the concentrations of IL-6, TNF α, and C reactive protein (CRP) in women with severe preeclampsia, compare those gestational age- matched normotensive pregnant correlate CRP levels markers organ damage preeclampsia.This was a case control fifty preeclampsia age normal blood pressure. The were drawn from Antenatal Clinic Lagos University Teaching Hospital. Severe pre eclampsia defined as systolic pressure ≥ 160 mmHg and/or diastolic 110 2 + proteinuria. After...
Cooking with dirty-burning fuels is associated health risk from household air pollution. We assessed the prevalence of and factors use cooking fuels, attitudes barriers towards liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). This was a cross-sectional, population-based survey conducted in 519 households Lagos, Nigeria. used structured questionnaire to obtain information regarding choice fuel LPG. Kerosene most frequently (n = 475, 91.5%; primary n 364, 70.1%) followed by charcoal 159, 30.6%; 88, 17%) LPG 86,...
Depression is a major issue in heart failure (HF). present about one five HF patients, with 48 % of these individuals having significant depression. There wide variation reported prevalences because differences the cohorts studied and methodologies. are shared pathophysiological mechanisms between The adverse effects depression on outcomes include reduced quality life, healthcare use, rehospitalisation increased mortality. Results from metaanalysis suggest twofold increase mortality patients...
The hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) phenotype was introduced as a means of identifying individuals at risk developing metabolic syndrome well cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. However, studies surrounding the prevalence its relationship with established markers cardiometabolic risk, especially in Nigerian population, remain sparse. This study aimed to determine HTGW explore markers, namely Castelli Risk Indices I II (CRI-I CRI-II), Atherogenic Index Plasma (AIP) serum triglyceride-HDL...
Background: Professional drivers are known to be at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).This study was carried out highlight these factors and their predictors among male long-distance professional bus in Lagos, southwest Nigeria, with a view improving health awareness this group.Methods: Socio-demographic data, anthropometric indices, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose levels lipid physical activity profiles 293 were measured.Results: Mean age the population 48 ± 9.7 years; 71.0...
Echocardiographic screening for Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) in Africa has revealed prevalence rates the range of 0.5-7.4%. There are no recent large population-based studies Nigeria. The objective study was to determine RHD a sample Nigerian school children.Using portable transthoracic echocardiography and auscultation, children aged 5 years 16 Lagos, Nigeria were screened RHD. Diagnosis based on 2012 World Federation echocardiographic criteria.The 4107 had mean age 11.3 (SD = 2.6) 2206...
The impact of Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in worsening outcomes is profound, especially the presence comorbid conditions. This study aimed to describe proportion patients at a high risk OSA our practice setting.The STOP BANG questionnaire and Epworth Sleepiness scale were used assess for excessive daytime sleepiness respectively. Hospitalized out-patients recruited. Intergroup differences continuous variables compared using analysis variance. with was presented as frequencies group Pearson...
Background: Heart failure (HF) is a common, chronic clinical syndrome with appreciable impact on both prognosis and lifestyle of patients. Two main aims management include preventing disease progression improving quality life (QoL). Not much work has been done in this area Sub-Saharan Africa most the available specific instruments were developed using Caucasian population. Aim: We therefore evaluated QoL stable HF patients attending cardiology clinic Lagos University Teaching Hospital...
Congenital heart disease (CHD) in low-and-middle income countries (LMIC) is often characterized by late presentation resulting from inadequate screening and healthcare access these regions. Accurate estimates of the burden CHD among school children are lacking. The objective this study was to determine prevalence distribution two communities (urban semi-urban) south western Nigeria. Using clinical assessment portable echocardiography, 4107 aged 5 years 16 Lagos, Nigeria, were selected using...
Studies exploring the relationship between serum uric acid (sUA) and cardiovascular risk in Nigerian population remain sparse. The study aimed to assess association sUA levels two measures of risk, namely Framingham 10-year Cardiovascular Risk Score (FRS) Atherogenic Index Plasma (AIP).
Professional drivers are known to be at high risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) on account of the higher prevalence co-occurring factors they harbour. Chronic kidney (CKD) and CVD share similar factors. Both impact each other adversely. The renal profile professional in Nigeria is not well characterised. We decided study positive CKD screening amongst male long distance Lagos, Southwest so as quantify burden its predictors. Two hundred ninety-three were recruited. Details their...
Background: Factors associated with tobacco smoking are useful in designing control programs. Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of and factors among long-distance drivers.Methods: A cross-sectional study. Stratified cluster sampling approach was used to select drivers based on if they received annual health screening (AHS) or not (non-AHS). We a structured questionnaire obtain information weighted resulting observations derive population estimates. Association between socio-demographic...
Background: Cardiovascular morbidity is a major burden in Nigerian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).Aims and Objectives: The aim of the present study was to compare cardiovascular risk scores diabetics those individuals metabolic syndrome healthy controls examine impact glycemic control lifestyle on risk.Subjects Methods: This cross-sectional adult Nigerians diabetes, syndrome, age- sex-matched controls. Written informed consent obtained from all participants. Ethics Committee...

Background Simultaneous presence of elevated waist circumference and hypertriglyceridemia (HTGW) is a simple low-cost measure visceral obesity, it associated with plethora cardio-metabolic abnormalities that can increase the risk cardiovascular diseases incident Type 2 diabetes mellitus. We decided to study prevalence, patterns, predictors metabolic in Nigerian hypertensives HTGW phenotype. Methods The medical records 582 complete data interest were retrieved analyzed for study.

Background: Faking and counterfeiting occurs throughout the world with claims that it is more common in some developing countries weak regulatory programs. It estimated than 10% of drugs worldwide are counterfeit, up to 50% countries. Heightening vigilance awareness one measure for combating faking. Rationale: The aim this study was document perceptions various healthcare providers regarding problem faking/counterfeiting including perceived levels, affected drugs, implications, measures...
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is very prevalent among heart failure (HF) subjects and now recognised as an independent predictor of poor prognosis. There a paucity data in our environment about the frequency correlates PH HF. We aimed to determine HF patients academic hospital assess its using echocardiography.A total 219 NYHA functional class II IV, without co-morbidities that could cause PH, were consecutively recruited. Demographic, clinical echocardiographic obtained from all subjects.The...
Abstract Background: Gene–environment interactions play a major role in the phenotypic expression of complex disease traits such as those for cardiovascular diseases. Aims: This study aimed to determine gene–environment that underpin relationship between interleukin-10 (IL-10) single-nucleotide polymorphism (1082 G/A [rs1800896]) with lifestyle on risk adult Nigerians type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).
