Evaluation of Treatment Coverage and Enhanced Mass Drug Administration for Onchocerciasis and Lymphatic Filariasis in Five Local Government Areas Treating Twice Per Year in Edo State, Nigeria.
Abstract The western region of Edo state in southern Nigeria is highly endemic for onchocerciasis. Despite years of mass drug administration (MDA) with ivermectin (IVM), reports suggest persistently high prevalence of onchocerciasis, presumably because of poor coverage. In 2016, twice-per-year treatment with IVM (combined with albendazole for lymphatic filariasis in the first round where needed) began in five local government areas (LGAs) of Edo state. We undertook a multistage cluster survey within 3 months after each round of MDA to assess coverage. First-round coverage was poor: among 4,942 people of all ages i...

Social representations of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and its prevention in narratives by young Africans from five countries, 1997 –2014: Implications for communication
This study examines how young Africans made sense of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) and PMTCT and related barriers and facilitators between 1997 and 2014 in the context of these complex and changing recommendations. It uses a distinctive data source: 1343 creative narratives submitted to HIV-themed scriptwriting competitions by young people aged 10–24 from 5 African countries (Senegal, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Kenya, and Swaziland) between 1997 and 2014. The study triangulates between analysis of quantifiable characteristics of the narratives, thematic qualitative analysis, and narrative-based approaches. MTCT occurs ...

Computed tomography scanner census and adult head dose in Nigeria
ConclusionComputed tomography scanners distinctly located in Nigeria were 183. The first installation in the country was in 1987, suggestive of an annual average of 6 installations. Dose from different facilities showed wide variations. The establishment of national diagnostic reference levels (nDRLs) to reduce arbitrariness in dose administration is imperative. While this is awaited, radiographers have a moral and ethical obligation to pay more attention to optimization of patient protection.
