Item An assessment of essential maternal health services in Kwara state, Nigeria(African Journal of Reproductive Health., 2013) Saidu, R.; Euna, M. M.; Amina, P. P. Saka, M.J. & Jimoh, A.A. G; Saka, M.J; Jimoh, A.A.GItem 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 Ectopic Pregnancy in Ilorin, Nigeria(National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria, 2013) Omokanye, Lukman O.; Balogun, O.R.; Salaudeen, A.G.; Olatinwo, Abdulwaheed O.; Saidu, R.Aims and Objectives: This is to study the incidence, predisposing factors, clinical presentation and management of ectopic pregnancy that presented over a four year period. Patients, Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study of 98 ectopic pregnancies managed at the gynaecological unit of University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin from 1st January 2004 to 31st December 2007. Information was obtained from the case notes, theatre and labour ward registers. Results: A total of 10,054 deliveries were recorded while 1,430 gynaecological patients were admitted. Ninety eight patients had ectopic gestation accounting for 1% of all deliveries and 6.9% of all gynaecological admissions. The peak age group was 25-29 years (33%); 70 (74.5%) were married and 16 (17%) were students mostly undergraduates. Previous pelvic inflammatory disease 78 (83%), previous pelvic surgery 7 (7.4%) and previous history of ectopic pregnancy 2 (2.1%) were the most common risk factors in the patients. Lower abdominal pain 90 (95.7%), missed period 82 (87.2%), dizziness/fainting attack 57( 60.6%) and vaginal bleeding 50 (53.2%) were the predominant symptoms at presentation. There were 2 (2.1%) bilateral ampullary tubal ectopic with one unruptured ectopic which was treated with linear salpingostomy. Only one (1.1%) case of heterotrophic pregnancy. Open abdominal surgery was the treatment employed in all the patients. No Mortality was recorded. Conclusion: The incidence of ectopic pregnancy can be reduced by putting in place measures to reduce induced abortion and pelvic inflammatory disease. In addition, early presentation, prompt diagnosis and efficient blood transfusion services will decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with ectopic pregnancy.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 Hysterectomy at University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Nigeria: a ten year review(SAME ventures, 2012) Omokanye, Lukman O.; Saidu, R.; Aboyeji, P.A.; Balogun, O.R; Ijaiya, M.A.; Jimoh, A.A.GItem An improvised endotrainer for low resource settings(College of Health Sciences, Osun state University, NIgeria, 2013) Omokanye, Lukman O.; Olatinwo, Abdulwaheed O.; Salaudeen, A.G.; Balogun, O.R; Saidu, R.Training in minimal access surgery has always been difficult in developing countries with limited resources, paucity of animal laboratories, unaffordability/unaffordable conventional endotrainer and limited number of trained endoscopic surgeons to help the trainee. Objective: To design an endotrainer for use in resource- poor settings with the aim of domestication of laparoscopic surgery. Materials and Methods: A fabricated endotrainer box with a camera, a bulb for adequate illumination powered by electricity connected to a television was designed at affordable price to improvise for the conventional endotrainer for low resource settings. Results: The fabricated endotrainer model was found to be an effective training tool for improving psychomotor skills and dexterity of movement, especially for suturing in difficult areas. This is comparable to the sophisticated virtual reality simulator. Also, it is far less expensive compared to the expensive virtual reality simulator, thus affordable. Conclusion: It is concluded that this model should be employed by other low resource setting to improve the skills of surgeons in endoscopy surgery and facilitate the training of new hands.Item Menopause perception and care of menopausal women in Nigeria(Nigeria journal of guidance and counselling, 2011) Saka, M.

Objective: To determine the prevalence, partner disclosure and HIV serology pattern among HIV positive antenatal clinic attendees. Design: A descriptive (retrospective) study. Setting: The antenatal clinic of a tertiary center in Ilorin, Nigeria. Subjects: HIV positive women receiving antenatal care at the study site from September 1, 2010 to February 28, 2013. Materials and Methods: The case fi les and the antenatal clinic records of all participants were retrieved, relevant data were extracted and presented in tables and charts. Results: Of the 7,342 antenatal clinic attendees during the study period, 237 were HIV-positive (prevalence 4.9%). The modal age group was 30–34 years (42.6%), adolescents were three (1.3%), 206 (86.9%) were educated, 192 (81%) were employed, 96 (40.5%) were diagnosed during index pregnancy while 141 (59.5%) were diagnosed and commenced antiretroviral therapy prior to conception. The modal age for male partners was 35–44 years (54%), 228 (96.2%) were aware of the woman’s HIV status, 211 (89%) of these men were aware of their own HIV status while the 26 (11%) refused testing; the serodiscordance rate was 56.7%. Conclusion: The high serodiscordance rate for HIV infection portends a signifi cant risk for transmission between partners; thus, higher awareness during and outside pregnancy should be improved upon to educate on strategies for preventing partner and mother to child transmissionsItem 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 Perception and Care of Menopausal Women in Nigeria(Nigerian Journal of Guidance and Counseling, 2001) Saka, M.J.; Jimoh, A.A.; Saka, A.O.; Saidu, R.; Yahaya, L.A.; Abdul, I.F.; Latinwo, A.W.Menopause is one area that has been shrouded in myths and taboos, especially as it related to the behavior of women.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 Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS)(Nigerian Fertility Society, 2013) Omokanye, Lukman O.; Jimoh, A.A.G; Saidu, R.; Balogun, O.R; Ijaiya, M.A.; Raji, H.A.; Okesina, S.Item Sperm Bank Scheme And Surrogacy Institution;-willingness And Utilization Of Assisted Reproductive Technology Among Women Of Reproductive Age Group In Ilorin.
