    Background. The central role of males in female reproductive health issues in patriarchal societies makes them an important group in the eradication of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C). Objectives. To determine knowledge about and attitudes to FGM/C among male adolescents, and their preparedness to protect their future daughters from it. Methods. A cross-sectional survey among male adolescent students in Ilorin, Nigeria. Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire after consent had been obtained from them or their parents. Statistical analysis was with SPSS version 20.0 (IBM, USA). A p-value of <0.05 was taken as significant. Results. Of 1 536 male adolescents (mean age 15.09 (standard deviation 1.84) years, range 14 - 19), 1 184 (77.1%) were aware of FGM/C, 514 (33.5%) supported female circumcision, 362 (23.6%) would circumcise their future daughters, 420 (27.3%) were of the opinion that FGM/C had benefits, mostly as a necessity for womanhood (109, 7.1%), and 627 (40.8%) perceived it as wickedness against females; 546 (35.5%) were aware of efforts to eradicate FGM/C, and 42.2% recommended education as the most important intervention to achieve this. Conclusion. Education and involvement in advocacy may transform male adolescents into agents for eradication of FGM/C.

    (The Journal of the International Federation of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (FIGO), 2015) Musa, Abdulkarim; Ijaiya, Munir'deen; Saidu, Rakiya; Aboyeji, Abiodun; Jimoh, Abiodun; Adesina, Kikelomo; Abdul, Ishaq
    Objective: To compare the efficacy of oral misoprostol with that of oxytocin for active management of the third stage of labor (AMTSL). Methods: A double-blind randomized control trial was undertaken at a center in Ilorin, Nigeria, between January and June 2013. Every other eligible patient (in the first stage of labor at term, to have a spontaneous vaginal delivery, and no/low risk of postpartum hemorrhage [PPH]) were randomly assigned with computer-generated random numbers to receive oral misoprostol (600 μg) plus placebo injection or oral placebo plus oxytocin injection (1 mL of 10 IU) in the third stage of labor. The primary outcome was amount of blood loss during delivery. Results: Mean postpartum blood loss was 325.85 ± 164.72 mL in the 100 patients givenmisoprostol and 303.95±163.33 mL in the 100 patients given oxytocin (P=0.391). PPH(≥500mL blood loss) was recorded in 15 (15.0%) patients given misoprostol and 14 (14.0%) given oxytocin (P = 0.841). Shivering, pyrexia, and diarrhea were all significantly more common in the misoprostol group (P b 0.01 for all). Conclusion: The efficacy of oral misoprostol was similar to that of intramuscular oxytocin. Adverse effects associatedwith misoprostol were transient and self-limiting. Thus, oral misoprostol is efficacious and a good alternative to oxytocin for AMTSL

    (International Society for Obstetric Medicine & The Royal Society of Medicine U.K., 2011) Adesina, Kikelomo; Aderibigbe, Sunday; Fawole, Adegboyega; Ijaiya, Munir'deen; Olarinoye, Adebunmi
    Background: Obesity is a nutritional disorder that is fast becoming a public health issue in the developing world. It is associated with increased incidence of maternal complications and adverse perinatal outcome. Methods and results: This is a case-control study of obesity in pregnancy carried out in the maternity wing of University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Nigeria. The subjects and controls were 156 obese and 80 non-obese women booked at this hospital for antenatal care. The controls were matched for age and parity. Obesity occurred more commonly among the well educated (P ¼ 0.00) and those in social classes I and II (P ¼ 0.00). The occurrence of other medical conditions was not significantly different. The obese women also had more caesarean sections (P ¼ 0.00), more assisted vaginal deliveries (P ¼ 0.00) and fewer spontaneous vaginal deliveries (P ¼ 0.00) than the non-obese parturients. The mean birth weight of infants of the obese mothers was 4.06+0.13 kg (mean+SD) while the mean for the controls was 3.36+ 0.49 kg. The difference was statistically significant (P ¼ 0.000). Also, the obese parturients had more macrosomic babies (defined as birth weight .4.2 kg) than the non-obese (P ¼ 0.00). The risks of perinatal asphyxia, birth trauma, neonatal admission and low birth weight were not increased among obese women in this study. Conclusion: This study suggests that in our community, obesity occurs more commonly among women of high socioeconomic status and is a risk factor for maternal and fetal complications.
