Item A survey on the knowledge, attitude and acceptance of male sterilzation among men in Ogbomoso, South West Nigeria(College of Health Sciences, Osun State University, 2017) Ogunlaja, Olumuyiwa Ayotunde; Akinola, S.E; Aworinde, O.O; Ogunlaja, Idowu Pauline; Bojuwoye, Matthew OlumuyiwaBackground: Traditionally, majority of the family planning services and campaigns focus on women without much consideration given to their male partners. In our society, there is bias, myth and misconception about vasectomy, this has resulted in a significant reduction in the willingness of men to seek vasectomy as a means of family planning. This study aims to identify the level of awareness and acceptance of male sterilization among men in Ogbomoso, south west Nigeria. Methods: This study was a cross sectional survey carried out among men in Ogbomoso, participation was voluntary and three hundred men had the questionnaires complete and suitable for analysis. Result: This study revealed a high level of awareness of family planning methods among men in Ogbomoso. However, less than half of these men agreed that men should be involved in family planning despite a higher number of the respondents being aware of vasectomy as a means of contraception. The common reasons for not accepting of vasectomy varied from preference for other methods of contraception, cultural taboos, religious sentiments, similarity to castration , fear for surgery and surgical complications. Conclusion: Renewed effort has to be made which will be aimed at improving the level of information about vasectomy in the public domain especially by the media and health care workers. This effort should also be targeted at religious organizations, clerics and traditional institutions this is because most of these misconceptions have deep rooted religious and cultural sentiments. This can also be achieved by ensuring synergy between government, non governmental organizations, advocacy groups, traditional and religious rulers.Item Barriers to Placenta Donation for Bio-Medical Reasearch Purposes Among Pregnant Women in a Tertiary Health Institution in Nigeria.(College of Health Sciences, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, 2021) Ogunlaja, Olumuyiwa Ayotunde; Aina, A.S.; Ogunlaja, Idowu Pauline; Aina, I; Abiola, Olajide Olusegun; Bojuwoye, Matthew Olumuyiwa; Olasinde, Yetunde T; Bakare, Y.T; Ajari, O.OItem From traditional birth attendants to hospital: a maternal near-miss(South Sudan Doctors’ Association, 2017) Ogunlaja, Olumuyiwa Ayotunde; Fehintola, A.O., Ogunlaja, I.P., Idowu, A., Abiola, O.O. & Bojuwoye, M.O.; Ogunlaja, Idowu Pauline; Idowu, Ajibola; Abiola, O.O.; Bojuwoye, Matthew OlumuyiwaItem Knowledge and Uptake of Human Papilloma Virus Vaccine for Prevention of Cervical Cancer Among Secondary School Females in Ogbomoso, South West Nigeria(College of Health Sciences, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, 2018-01) Ogunlaja, Olumuyiwa Ayotunde; Akinola, S.E; Aworinde, O.O; Ogunlaja, Idowu Pauline; Bojuwoye, Matthew OlumuyiwaItem Knowledge and Uptake of Human Papilloma Virus Vaccine for Prevention of Cervical Cancer Among Secondary School Females in Ogbomoso, South West Nigeria.(College of Health Sciences, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, 2018-01) Ogunlaja, Olumuyiwa Ayotunde; Akinola, S.E.; Aworinde, O.O.; Ogunlaja, Idowu Pauline; Bojuwoye, Matthew OlumuyiwaItem Myomatous erythrocytosis syndrome: a case report in Ogbomoso, Southwest Nigeria(Sudan Medical Association, 2017) Ogunlaja, Olumuyiwa Ayotunde; Fehintola, A.O.; Ano-Edward, G.H.; Aworinde, K.F.; Abiola, O.O.; Ogunlaja, Idowu Pauline; Bojuwoye, Matthew OlumuyiwaItem Prevalence Of Human Immunodeficiency Virus & Hepatitis B Virus Co-Infection In A Population Of Apparently Healthy Pregnant Women In University Of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin(College of Health Sciences, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, 2016-01) Ogunlaja, Olumuyiwa Ayotunde; Fawole, Adegboyega Adisa; Bojuwoye, Matthew Olumuyiwa; Idowu, Ajibola; Ogunlaja, Idowu PaulineItem Ultrasound estimation of amniotic fluid and perinatal outcome in normotensive and pre-eclamptics at term in a Nigerian tertiary hospital(School of Medicine and Health Sciences, University for Development Studies, Tamale, Ghana, 2015) Ogunlaja, Olumuyiwa Ayotunde; Fawole, Adegboyega Adisa; Adeniran, A.

J.; Ogunlaja, Idowu Pauline; Bojuwoye, Matthew Olumuyiwa; Idowu, AjibolaPre-eclampsia is a subtype of hypertensive disorder in pregnancy which is described as a disorder of widespread vascular endothelial malfunction and vasospasm that manifest clinically after 20 weeks gestation and can present as late as 4-6 weeks postpartum. However, the focus in modern obstetric care is on reduction of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality through preventive strategies. The objective of this study was to determine the usefulness of ultrasound scan measurement of the amniotic fluid indices in determining perinatal outcome in normotensive and preeclamptic paturients at term. This was an observational study involving 120 consenting preeclamptics and 120 normotensive women. An analysis of the measures of perinatal outcome in this study revealed a statistical significant difference when meconium stained liquor, route of delivery, fetal outcome and birth weight in pre-eclamptic women were compared with those of normotensive women. Ultrasound estimation of amniotic fluid in pre-eclamptic and normotensive paturients has been found to be useful in the management of these patients with the aim of improving perinatal outcome. Hence, there may be a need to include this in the protocol of management; however, randomized control trials will be needed to further justify the finding of this recommendation.Item Venous thromboprophylaxis risk assessment amongst gynaecological patients in a tertiary health institution, south west Nigeria(Nigerian Medical Association Enugu State, 2020) Ogunlaja, Olumuyiwa Ayotunde; Abolarin, Ademola; Ogunlaja, Idowu Pauline; Aworinde, Olufemi; Olasinde, Yetunde; Akinola, Samuel; Bojuwoye, Matthew OlumuyiwaVenous Thromboembolism (VTE), is a major health concern that has continued to pose a challenge to clinicians. It is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in our environment. In recent years there has been renewed attention on the need for thromboprophylaxis to prevent VTE and its consequences. This is a prospective study carried out on the gynaecological in patients of Bowen University Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso. This study involved the use of a questionnaire with the details of the Caprini score in assessing patients. Our study revealed that 83 (58.5%) patients had low risk for VTE while 55 (38.7%) had moderate risk for VTE. Only 4 (2.8%) of participants had a high risk for VTE and none of the gynaecological patients could be classified as very low risk according to the Caprini index. There is a need to train and retrain health care givers on the importance of thromboprophylaxis. This training should include the development of local protocols similar to international guidelines meeting the local needs, this will go a long way to ensure it is user friendly to healthcare workers.
