Item Clomiphene Resistant Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: Analysis of Outcomes following Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling in Infertile Women in Ilorin, North-Central, Nigeria.(African Health Research Organization, 2017) Omokanye, Lukman O.; Olatinwo, Abdulwaheed O.; Panti, Abubakar A.; Ibrahim, S.; Oyedepo, O.O.; Ige, O.A.; Adegboye, M.B.Background: Laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) is one‑off treatment modality for clomiphene citrate (CC)‑resistant polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) avoiding the need of medical therapy and its attendant complications. Aims and Objectives: This study aimed at determining the efficacy of LOD in women with anovulatory infertility secondary to CC‑resistant PCOS and factors influencing reproductive outcomes. Materials and Methods: A cross‑sectional study of infertile women who underwent LOD on account of CC‑resistant PCOS between January 2012 and December 2015 at a tertiary institution. Results: Patients aged 24–38 years (29.7 ± 3.6 years) and their body mass index (BMI) ranges from 20 to 35 (26.3 ± 4.3). The majority (90.5%) were nulliparous. Most (61.3%) had primary infertility. Their duration of infertility ranges from 1 to 13 years (4.3 ± 2.7) and ovarian volume ranges from 10 to 24 cm3 (mean, right ovary = 15.2 ± 3.2; left ovary = 16.3 ± 3.2). The number of drills per ovary ranged from 4 to 14 (mean, right ovary = 7.4 ± 2.1; left ovary = 7.3 ± 2.1) and the luteinizing hormone/follicle stimulating hormone (LH)/FSH ratio ranges from 2 to 6 (3.2 ± 1.4). All achieved spontaneous resumption of menses and ovulation with mean durations of 4.0 ± 1.8 days and 5.3 ± 3.2 weeks, respectively. Eighty‑three (60.6%) clinical pregnancies were recorded, of which 68 (49.6%) resulted to live births (61 singletons and 7 twin births) and 14 (10.2%) early first trimester miscarriages. The mean time interval from LOD to pregnancy was 4.4 ± 1.1 months. There was a significant association between BMI, duration of infertility, FSH/LH ratio, and pregnancy outcomes (P < 0.05). Conclusion: LOD is the most preferred treatment modality for CC‑resistant PCOS as it resulted in higher pregnancy rate.Item Effect of Spinal Anaesthesia on QT interval: Comparative study of severe pre eclamptic and normotensive parturients undergoing caesarean section.(Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria., 2022) Adedapo, O.A.; Bolaji, B.O; Adegboye, M.B.; Kolo, P.M.; Suleiman, Z.A., Adedapo, O.O., Jimoh, O.S.,Aim: This study aimed to compare the effect of spinal anesthesia on QT interval in severe pre-eclamptic and normotensive parturients who underwent cesarean section in a Nigerian tertiary hospital. Patients and Methods: Twelve-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) was obtained before, and at intervals after spinal anaesthesia on fifty severe pre‑eclamptic (Group A) and fifty normotensive parturients (Group B) who underwent caesarean section. The effect of spinal anaesthesia on QT interval was compared. Results: The preoperative (baseline) mean QT interval was longer in group A than in group B; 453.10 ± 34.11 ms versus 399 ± 18.79 ms, P < 0.001. The prevalence of prolonged QT interval in the severe pre‑eclamptic group before spinal anesthesia was 80% while in the normotensive group it was 0%, P < 0.001. At 5, 30, 60, and 120 min after the establishment of spinal anesthesia, the mean QT interval in the severe pre-eclamptic group was shortened and maintained within normal limits; 414.74 ± 28.05, 418.28 ± 30.95, 411.18 ± 19.21 and 401.36 ± 17.52 ms with P < 0.001 throughout. In the normotensive group, there was no significant change in the mean QT interval. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the QT interval was more prolonged among the severe pre‑eclamptic parturients. Spinal anesthesia using 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine normalized the QT interval and maintained it within normal limits during the study period.
