    Abstract The study analyzed farmers' level of adoption and perception of phosphorus based fertilizers for cowpea production in Katsina state, Nigeria. A total of 153 cowpea farmers were sampled using a multi-stage sampling technique. Primary data was utilized in the study. The data was collected using a structured questionnaire by trained enumerators. Descriptive statistics, Kendalls’ coefficient of concordance and acceptability index were employed for data analysis. The results showed that the mean age for cowpea farmers was 41 years. Distribution of the respondents by gender reveals that 85.6% were males and the remaining 14.4% were females. The result of farmers’ perception of phosphorus-based fertilizer used shows a moderate agreement of 0.30 which indicates different perceptions among respondents. The study further revealed that the acceptability index of 6.54% was very alarming because cowpea farmers committed a small portion of their farmland toward adopting the technology. The level of knowledge of the cowpea farmers on phosphorus based fertilizers was very low, leading to a very low level of acceptance of phosphorus fertilizers in the study area. It was recommended that be made available and affordable to the cowpea farmers as this will increase the rate of technology adoption in the study area.

    Abstract Objective: A case description of a rare occurrence of female genital schistosomiasis affecting the upper genital tract that presented with features mimicking an ovarian neoplasm.
    Case report: Female genital schistosomiasis is a neglected clinical manifestation of the water-born parasitic disease which occurs due to the presence of schistosome eggs in the genitalia of women. A 23-year-old nulliparous woman presented with progressive abdominal distension. An abdominopelvic CT scan revealed a multilobulated right adnexal mass with gross ascites. Diagnosis of schistosomiasis was made by histology of biopsied specimens following laparotomy. Cervical colposcopic findings were consistent with female genital schistosomiasis. She was successfully treated with praziquantel.
    Conclusion: Female genital schistosomiasis of the upper genital tract can mimic an ovarian malignancy. Hence there is a need for its consideration as a differential diagnosis in patients with non-classical presentations of pelvic tumours in schistosomiasis-endemic areas.

    Abstract Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a widespread pathogenic bacterium, impacting over 4 billion individuals globally. It is primarily linked to gastric diseases, including gastritis, peptic ulcers, and cancer. The current histopathological method for diagnosing H. pylori involves labour-intensive examination of endoscopic biopsies by trained pathologists. However, this process can be time-consuming and may occasionally result in the oversight of small bacterial quantities. Our study explored the potential of five pre-trained models for binary classification of 204 histopathological images, distinguishing between H. pylori-positive and H. pylori-negative cases. These models include EfficientNet-b0, DenseNet-201, ResNet-101, MobileNet-v2, and Xception. To evaluate the models' performance, we conducted a five-fold cross-validation, ensuring the models' reliability across different subsets of the dataset. After extensive evaluation and comparison of the models, ResNet101 emerged as the most promising. It achieved an average accuracy of 0.920, with impressive scores for sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, F1 score, Matthews's correlation coefficient, and Cohen's kappa coefficient. Our study achieved these robust results using a smaller dataset compared to previous studies, highlighting the efficacy of deep learning models even with limited data. These findings underscore the potential of deep learning models, particularly ResNet101, to support pathologists in achieving precise and dependable diagnostic procedures for H. pylori. This is particularly valuable in scenarios where swift and accurate diagnoses are essential.

    Abstract Introduction: This study examined the effectiveness of mobile phone reminders in improving the completeness and timeliness of childhood immunization.
    Method: We conducted a parallel arm cluster randomized controlled trial in four primary health care facilities in Nigeria. Reminders were sent to eligible participants in the intervention group at specific intervals when their children were scheduled to receive the vaccines administered at the sixth, 10, and 14 weeks after birth. Immunization records of all participants' children were then tracked to assess their immunization status.
    Results: The immunization status of the intervention (n = 275) and control (n = 261) arms was analyzed. Completeness and timeliness of the vaccine series were significantly higher (p < .001) among children of participants in the intervention (n = 169, 61.5% and n = 138, 50.2%) than those in the control group (n = 35, 13.4% and n = 13, 5%) arm.
    Discussion: Mobile phone reminders were established to be effective in increasing the completeness and timeliness of childhood immunization.

    Abstract Tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis have been a major challenge for medical and healthcare sectors in many underdeveloped countries with limited diagnosis tools. Tuberculosis can be detected from microscopic slides and chest X-ray but as a result of the high cases of tuberculosis, this method can be tedious for both microbiologist and Radiologist and can lead to miss-diagnosis. The main objective of this study is to addressed these challenges by employing Computer Aided Detection (CAD) using Artificial Intelligence-driven models which learn features based on convolution and result in an output with high accuracy. In this paper, we described automated discrimination of X-ray and microscopic slide images of tuberculosis into positive and negative cases using pretrained AlexNet Models. The study employed Chest X-ray dataset made available on Kaggle repository and microscopic slide images from both Near East university hospital and Kaggle repository. For classification of tuberculosis and healthy microscopic slide using AlexNet+Softmax, the model achieved accuracy of 98.14%. For classification of tuberculosis and healthy microscopic slide using AlexNet+SVM, the model achieved 98.73% accuracy. For classification of tuberculosis and healthy chest X-ray images using AlexNet+Softmax, the model achieved accuracy of 98.19%. For classification of tuberculosis and healthy chest X-ray images using AlexNet+SVM, the model achieved 98.38% accuracy. The result obtained has shown to outperformed several studies in the current literature. Future studies will attempt to integrate Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) for the design of IoMT/AI-enabled platform for detection of Tuberculosis from both X-ray and Microscopic slide images.

    Abstract Background and Purpose: Malaria is one of the most deadly and life-threatening parasitic infections in the world. Pregnant women and their unborn children are among the most vulnerable people to malaria, which causes maternal anemia and parental mortality. This research was carried out to investigate the prevalence of malaria parasites in pregnant women attending the Antenatal Clinic, Gumel General Hospital, Jigawa State, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 pregnant women were selected using simple random sampling and examined for malaria infection from July to September 2021. The study questionnaires were administered to the respondents whose blood samples were collected. The outcome variables for this research were malaria infection (assessed using rapid diagnostic tests) and pregnant women with any Plasmodium species. The independent variables include age, social status, number of deliveries, pregnancy trimester, malaria transmission modes, and control measures of the mosquitoes/malaria. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the chi-square test. The differences and similarities between study parameters were presented in relevant tables. Results: A total of 64 samples (64%) were infected with Plasmodium falciparum. The samples aged 15-20 years demonstrated the highest prevalence of the infection (71.4%). Social status indicated that homemakers were more infected, with 66.3%. On the number of deliveries, those that delivered three times and above showed the highest prevalence of infection with 72.5%. Finally, those in the third trimester were the most infected, with 62.2%. Conclusion: The current study showed that malaria is prevalent in pregnant women in Gumel. The associated factor with malaria infection comprised forgoing insecticide-treated bed nets, inadequate environmental sanitation, and living near stagnant water. Therefore, the future mothers should be motivated to participate early in focused antenatal care services to protect themselves from the possible harm of ...

    Abstract Primary mesenteric angiosarcoma is a rare soft tissue tumour accounting for 1%–2% of soft tissue tumours. Because of the ubiquity of blood vessels and lymphatics, it can occur anywhere with a poor prognosis. To the best extent of our literature search, this type of tumour is sparsely reported in our environment; we hereby report a case of primary mesenteric angiosarcoma in a 32-year-old man who presented with acute abdomen, intraperitoneal haemorrhage, and shock. Abdominal ultrasound revealed intraperitoneal collection, and intraoperative findings revealed haemoperitoneum 1.5l with vascular cystic tumour at the mesentery close to the duodenojejunal junction. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed angiosarcoma. The patient was seen last at follow-up in early 2022.
