Abstract Recurrent ischemic priapism is a common complication of sickle cell disease (SCD). We assessed the burden, characteristics, and types priapism, including sexual dysfunction, in cohort men with those without SCD, to test hypothesis that dysfunction more prevalent SCD. In Kano, Nigeria, we conducted comparative cross-sectional survey included 500 250 18 40 years age, respectively. The used Priapism Questionnaire International Index Erectile Function for function assessment. All...
We consider the problem of initiation a propagating wave in one-dimensional excitable fibre. In Zeldovich-Frank-Kamenetsky equation, a.k.a. Nagumo key role is played by "critical nucleus'' solution whose stable manifold threshold surface separating initial conditions leading to propagation and decay. Approximation this its tangent linear space yields an analytical criterion which good agreement with direct numerical simulations.
Abstract In this paper, we introduce a new iterative scheme by hybrid method and prove strong convergence theorem of common element in the set fixed points finite family closed quasi-Bregman strictly pseudocontractive mappings solutions to system equilibrium problems reflexive Banach space. Our results extend important recent announced many authors. MSC: 47H09, 47J25.
We consider the problem of ignition propagating waves in one-dimensional bistable or excitable systems by an instantaneous spatially extended stimulus. Earlier we proposed a method (Idris and Biktashev, PRL, vol 101, 2008, 244101) for analytical description threshold conditions based on approximation (center-)stable manifold certain critical solution. Here generalize this to address wider class systems, such as multicomponent reaction-diffusion with non-self-adjoint linearized operators,...
In high-income countries, premarital genetic counseling for Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a standard practice. However, in Nigeria, there no formal program available SCD. We conducted series of focus group discussions with health care professionals, patients SCD, and parents the or without SCD to gain an understanding their attitudes beliefs towards SCD/Sickle Trait Data were analyzed using Charmaz’s constructivist grounded theory approach. Two themes highlighted analysis as follows: (1)...
We consider the problem of initiation propagating wave in a one-dimensional excitable fiber. In FitzHugh-Nagumo theory, key role is played by ``critical nucleus'' and pulse'' solutions whose (center-)stable manifold threshold surface separating initial conditions leading to propagation those decay. present evidence that cardiac excitation models, this front'' solutions.
Despite priapism being one of the most frequent complications sickle cell anemia (SCA) in male individuals, little has been reported about impact this population. The authors used a sequential independent mixed-methods design, which both international multicenter focus group discussions (n=35) and quantitative patient-reported outcome measure (n=131) to determine on men with SCA Nigeria United States. analyzed data from groups using an iterative inductive-deductive approach. Comparison...
We conducted one of the first prospective studies to test hypothesis that clinical history priapism underestimates incidence compared with a pain diary. Eligibility criteria were men sickle cell anemia (SCA) between 18 and 40 years age who have had at least 3 episodes in past 12 months. Seventy-one SCA completed diary for The months included analysis. A total 298 recorded, 80% (57 71) participants 1 event. Priapism severity was reported range moderate worst imaginable 81.5% (263 298), 57...
Background: Quantitative and qualitative abnormalities of platelets are common among patients with malaria infection, these correlate severity. Few studies documented platelet changes in uncomplicated the endemic regions. This study aimed to describe counts (PLTs) automated indices infection a Nigerian population. Materials Methods: is comparative cross-sectional 152 presenting symptoms general outpatient Department Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano, Nigeria. Malaria diagnosis was made...
Study’s Excerpt/Novelty This study introduces a novel economic order quantity (EOQ) model for managing non-instantaneous deteriorating items under two-phase demand rates and linear holding costs, incorporating constant partial backlogging two-level pricing strategies within trade credit framework. The uniquely addresses the complexities of time-dependent quadratic before deterioration afterward, providing optimal solutions maximizing total profit by determining best timing positive...
Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has emerged as an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The aim this study is to identify the clinical predictors among patients with COVID-19 pneumonia during first second waves in a treatment center northwestern Nigeria. Methods This was retrospective cohort 195 hospitalized between April 2020 March 2021 at designated isolation Kano State, Northwest Data were summarized using frequencies percentages. Unadjusted odds ratios 95%...
In some classical inventory models for non-instantaneous deteriorating items, it is tacitly assumed that the selling price before and after deterioration sets in same. However, real practice, when in, retailer may decide to reduce encourage more sales, cost of holding stock, attract new customers losses due deterioration. This research developed an economic order quantity model items with two-phase demand rates, linear cost, complete backlogging rate two-level pricing strategies under trade...
Context: Nigeria has the highest burden of sickle cell disease in world. Premarital counseling (PMC) programs to reduce hemoglobinopathies have been successfully implemented Muslim predominant countries with similar religious and cultural practices northern Nigeria. Religious leaders a significant role play success PMC Aims: To assess knowledge perception premarital genetic for (SCD) among culturally religiously sensitive environment. Settings Design: A cross-sectional (pre post) study was...
Sickle cell disease is often complicated by retinopathy, which can be proliferative or non proliferative. Proliferative sickle retinopathy potentially leads to blindness. There a paucity of data on disease-related from Africa, where the most prevalent. We aimed determine clinical, ophthalmic, and laboratory predictors in an African population. conducted cross-sectional study 262 participants, aged 13 years above, with disease. Demographic clinical were collected using structured...

Introduction: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency (Gd−) is the most common enzymopathy, which inherited as an X-linked recessive disorder. Individuals with Gd− are prone to hemolysis upon exposure oxidant stress. Leprosy a chronic granulomatous disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. Both leprosy and in Nigeria, treatment of dapsone can precipitate Gd−. Aims: The aims this study were determine prevalence Gd−, compare hematological biochemical indices G6PD-replete (Gd+) male...
