Item The Determinants of Utilization of Insecticide Treated Nets Among Pregnant Women Attending Antenatal Clinic at University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Nigeria(Biomedical Science Direct Publication, 2012) Omokanye, Lukman O.; Saidu, R.; Olatinwo, Abdulwaheed O.; Jimoh, A.A.G.; Salaudeen, A.G.; Balogun, O.R; Ijaiya, M.A.; Panti, Abubakar A.Background and Objective: Malaria remains a disease of public health importance in the developing countries. The purpose of this study was to determine factors influencing the utilization of ITNs among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at the UITH, Ilorin. Materials and Methods: This study was a cross-sectional survey of pregnant women carried out in the antenatal clinic of UITH. The subjects were selected at booking and administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Epi-Info software version 3.4.1 of computer. Results: The findings were that 85.2% knew about ITNs and 29.6% did not know where to obtain ITNs. About 74% did not know the cost of ITNs, and 81.5% and 79.8% were of the opinion that ITNs are used to protect against mosquito bites and effective in prevention of malaria respectively. One third (33.7%) of respondents had ever used ITNs. The reasons for non-utilization of ITNs were among others, lack of knowledge, lack of interest, unavailability and use of other methods of prevention. About half of ITNs users used it every day and only 7.9% have been using it for over three years. Statistical analysis showed that marital status, parity, and education had significant influence on utilization of ITNs, where as age and gestational age at booking did not. Conclusion: ITNs coverage is abysmally low among the most vulnerable group. There is need for government to increase enlightenment campaign and intensify advertisement on media that would inform and educate individuals about the usefulness of ITNsItem Evaluation of sexual hormones of male rats treated with garlic aqueous extract and high fatty diet(Department of anatomy, faculty of basic medical sciences, 2011) Omotoso, G. O.; Jimoh, A.A.G.; Olawuyi, T.S.; Olorunfemi, O.J.Item Female surgical sterilization at University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin: 10-year review(Nigerian Medical Association, Anambra state, 2012) Omokanye, Lukman O.; Salaudeen, A.G; Jimoh, A.A.G.; Panti, Abubakar A.; Saidu, R.; Balogun, O.RBackground: Given technological advances over the past few decades, female surgical sterilization has become a safe, convenient, easy, and highly effective birth control method for the long term. Objective: This study aims at determining the uptake, indications, timing, surgical technique and complications of voluntary surgical sterilization in Ilorin. Methodology: A retrospective study involving all clients who have undergone female sterilization by mini-laparotomy at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital Family Planning Clinic between January 2002 and December 2011. Clinical data were retrieved from the case notes and the information obtained was analyzed with SPSS version 16 of the computer. All the case notes had adequate information for the study, and none was missing. Results: There were 25,418 deliveries with 205 cases of female surgical sterilizations out of which 95 were through mini-laparotomy, giving an incidence of 8% and 3.7 per 1000 deliveries, respectively. The mean age at sterilization was 38.9years. Grand-multiparity and completed family size were the main indications. Seventy-nine percent of the clients had interval procedure and Pomeroy’s method was used among 70.5% of the clients. Local infiltration was used for most (60%) of the clients. Complication attributable to the procedures occurred in 5.3% of the clients. These include, wound sepsis (2.1%), urinary tract infection (1.05%) and one failed sterilization (1.1%). Conclusion: Concerted efforts at female reproductive health education and counseling will help to dispel some of the rumours and misconceptions associated with the procedure.Item Pattern of sexually transmitted infections in human immunodeficiency virus positive women attending antenatal clinics in north‑central Nigeria(Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto, Nigeria, 2014) Isiaka-Lawal, S.A.; Nwabuisi, C.; Fakeye, O.; Saidu, R.; Adeshina, K.T; Ijaiya, M.A.; Jimoh, A.A.G.; Omokanye, Lukman O.Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are prevalent during pregnancy and may have adverse sequalae in both mother and fetus. Interactions between these infections and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) synergize and may cause adverse pregnancy outcomes and reverse the gains of prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV. Objectives: The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of candidiasis, trichomoniasis, gonococcal infection, syphilis, and bacterial vaginosis in HIV pregnant women and compare with HIV negative controls. Materials and Methods: A case‑control study was conducted during the period from April to December 2010 at the Department of Obstetrics/Gynecology of University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital and three Primary Health Centers in Ilorin. A total of 160 HIV positive pregnant women attending antenatal clinics were recruited, along with the same number of HIV negative matched controls. A structured proforma was used to collect information from patients, vaginal examination was performed and samples were taken from the endocervix and the posterior vaginal fornix with swab sticks. Results: STIs were recovered from 142 women, giving overall prevalence of 44.4%. HIV infected women had a higher prevalence (60%) compared to uninfected (28.8%). The most prevalent STI was vaginal candidiasis (29.1%), followed by bacterial vaginosis (9.7%), and trichomoniasis (5.6%). The prevalence of candidiasis, bacterial vaginosis, and trichomoniasis was higher among HIV positive pregnant women compared to HIV negative controls (P < 0.05). No woman had syphilis or gonorrhea. Conclusion: The prevalence of candidiasis, bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis was higher in HIV infected pregnant women compared to uninfected. Routine screening of HIV infected pregnant women for these organisms is advocated.Item Prevalence of Congenital Malaria in Ilorin, Nigeria.(2009) Kolawole, O.M.; Jimoh, A.A.G.; Babatunde, A.S.; Balogun, O.R.; Kanu, I.G.Abstract A Seven months (March-September 2006) study on the prevalence of congenital malaria was carried out at the labour unit of three different hospitals within Ilorin metropolis: Eyitayo Hospital, Surulere Medical Hospital and Children Specialist Hospital Centre Gboro Ilorin. A total of 130 blood samples were collected from the mothers and their newborn babies and examined for malaria parasite using both thin and thick films. Maternal packed cell volume (PCV), and genotype was also determined using haematocrit method and cellulose acetate electrophoresis respectively. The prevalence rate of maternal, fetal, placental and cord parasitaemia were 37(28.46%), 29(22.31%), 33(25.38%) and 30(23.08%) respectively. Malaria infected maternal blood had a mild reduction in PCV level (p<0.05). Genotype showed strong correlation with maternal, fetal, placental and cord parasitaemia (p<0.05). However, the effect of malaria prophylaxis was shown to be more protective for the placentalparasitaemia (p<0.05). Finally maternal age and parity did not show strong correlation with Maternal, fetal, placental and cord parasitaemia (p>0.05).Item Randomized controlled trial on Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation(Society of Gynaecology and Obstetrics of Nigeria, 2014) Omokanye, Lukman O.; Jimoh, A.A.G.; Salaudeen, A.G; Sulaiman, Z.A.; Durowade, K.A.; Adewara, E.O.Item Role Of Laparo Endoscopic Surgeries In Patients Undergoing Assisted Reproductive Technology Treatment In Ilorin, Nigeria.(Nigerian Fertility Society, 2013) Jimoh, A.A.G.; Omokanye, Lukman O.; Biliaminu, S.A.; Balogun, O.R; Saidu, R.; Raji, H.A.; Ijaiya, M.; Ezeoke, G.; Olarionye, O.; Dare, J.; Okesina, S.Item Sperm Bank Scheme And Surrogacy Institution;-willingness And Utilization Of Assisted Reproductive Technology Among Women Of Reproductive Age Group In Ilorin.
