Background: Pregnant women infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) can transmit the infection to their fetuses and newborns. Neonates who contract HBV have about 90% risk of developing chronic HBsAg carriage (HBsAg: surface antigen) and liver disease. Neonatal immunization interrupts this vertical perinatal transmission. Objectives: To determine the seroprevalence among pregnant attending antenatal clinic at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH) and identify potential factors associated...
To study the pattern of gynecological malignancies in Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital.This was a retrospective observational carried out Gynecology Department Hospital (AKTH), Kano, Nigeria between October 2008 and September 2011. Case notes all patients seen with cancers were studied to determine pattern, age parity distribution.A total 2339 women during period, while 249 found have malignancy. Therefore proportion 10.7%. Out malignancies, most (48.6%) had cervical cancer, followed by ovarian...
Background/Objectives: Eclampsia is a major contributor to maternal and perinatal mortality worldwide. It much more common in developing countries like Nigeria where presentation usually late resources are scarce. The staggering figures of death (46%) reported by the Society Obstetricians Gynaecologists (SOGON) 2004 moved Kano State government initiate programs that will reduce state. objectives this report were; 1) determine prevalence eclampsia at Murtala Muhammad Specialist hospital...
Widespread use of ultrasound in early pregnancy has led to the detection incidental adnexal masses more frequently. This article reviews diagnosis and management options for pregnancy. The availability high-resolution made observation be a viable option some cases. However, those suspicious malignancy, at risk torsion, rupture, or clinically symptomatic, surgical treatment is warranted. Laparoscopy been successfully used safe experienced trained hands properly equipped units.

Objectives To determine seroprevalence, seroconversion, and mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) rates for dual triplex infections of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B (HBV), C (HCV) among pregnant women. Methods A multicentre prospective cohort study was conducted in six randomly selected tertiary hospitals from geopolitical zones Nigeria. Consenting participants were tested at recruitment followed-up till delivery. Retests performed delivery those who negative all three...

We explored the durations causes of delay in four common treatable types (breast, colorectum, head neck, uterine cervix) Nigeria. Methods Retrospective study based on interviews patients following Aarhus framework for designing reporting such studies.

Abstract Background: Nigeria contributes significantly to the global burden of HIV, Hepatitis B and C infections, either singly or in combinations, despite progress HIV care regionally globally. Although some limited data on mono infection virus infections do exists, that dual triplex including seroconversion mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) rates necessary for planning address scourge pregnancy are not available. Objectives: To determine seroprevalence, rate new MTCT triple viruses...
Hysteroscopic adhesiolysis is shown to significantly improve the outcome of intrauterine adhesions (IUA). The Minimally Invasive Surgical Unit (MISU) our Department recently acquired a hysteroscope which being used for hysteroscopic among others.There were 57 patients diagnosed have IUA 54 case notes available analysis, giving retrieval rate 95%. information extracted includes age, parity, and menstrual pattern, predisposing factors, treatment option, outcome, complications year procedure....

Background: There are no national data on hepatitis C virus awareness and burden among pregnant women to justify its routine screening. Objectives: To investigate awareness, seroprevalence risk factors for infection in Nigeria. Methods: A total of 159 from antenatal clinics across six geopolitical zones Nigeria consented anti-hepatitis testing which was confirmed using polymerase chain reaction technique. Confirmed positive were further tested B HIV. Participants evaluated virus. Odds...
Objective: To determine the hepatitis B vaccination coverage, full-dose (⩾3) coverage and associated factors affecting uptake among pregnant women. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study women attending antenatal care in six tertiary hospitals across all geopolitical zones of Nigeria. Pregnant who consented to completed screening questions about their status coverage. The main outcome measures were rate, dose, uptake. Bivariate analysis performed by chi-square test conditional logistic...
Background: Gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTD) is a spectrum of pregnancy-related premalignant disorders complete and partial hydatidiform mole, the malignant invasive choriocarcinoma, rare placental-site tumour. Objective: This study was carried out to determine incidence gestational disease, clinical features management outcome at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano, Nigeria. Materials Methods: retrospective demographic data as well all patients with disease managed between January,...
Pre-eclampsia (PE) is an important cause of maternal mortality. There have been several studies on risk factors assessment with conflicting reports across the globe this disease; however, rigorous recent evaluation these uncommon in region. The aim present study was to determine risks early-onset PE Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH), (Northern Nigeria). We conducted a case-control Nigeria between April 2009 and January 2010 identify associated women attending antenatal clinic AKTH....
Molar pregnancies in most instances develop within the uterine cavity, but may occur at any site. Ectopic molar pregnancy is a rare event. The objective of this study was to present case ruptured tubal gestation, discuss its clinical features and ways improve diagnostic accuracy. A 35-year-old woman presented with suggestive ectopic pregnancy. There neither evidence time presentation suspect nor β human chorionic gonadotrophin (βhCG) hormone estimation done, only clearview test carried out....
Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome is a congenital malformation characterized by failure of the mullerian duct to develop, resulting in missing uterus and upper part vagina women showing normal development secondary sexual characteristics 46, XX karyotype. It second most common cause primary amenorrhea after Turner’s syndrome. A 30 year old nulliparous lady who has been married for 13years presented with history amenorrhoea.

Colposcopy was first introduced in 1925 Germany by Hans Hinselman. A colposcopeworks on the hypothesis that magnifying cervix and applying good illumination, early stages of cervical cancer could be picked -up. Other workers field include Schiller, Papanicolou, Ayres who all contributed to detection cancer. The basic issue is transformation zone (TZ). It an area forms from squamous metaplasia columnar epithelium. where two epithelia meet referred as squamo-columnar junction SCJ. most...
Inversion of the uterus is a rare clinical problem. Non-puerperal inversion usually results from tumor arising fundus uterus.
