Data on the prevalence of risk factors for chronic kidney disease from sub-Saharan Africa are scanty, more so in the northern part of Nigeria. There are several risk factors for CKD which include, obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and some nephrotoxic agents. Preventive strategy through early detection and treatment has been advocated for CKD especially in our own setting where majority of patients present late and cannot afford the cost of renal replacement therapy which again is not readily available. \u0000Method: This study was conducted among the staff of Bingham University Teaching Hospital (BHUTH), Jos, as part of a screening exercise during the World Kidney Day (WKD) program of 2021, to determine the prevalence of modifiable risk factors for CKD. Adult subjects of 18 years and above, who consented to the study were mobilized after a sensitization talk. The parameters assessed were demographics, body mass index, blood pressures, proteinuria, fasting plasma glucose and plasma creatinine. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated using CKD-EPI Creatinine Equation 2021. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. The level of statistical significance was set at a p-value of < 0.05. \u0000Results: 150 adult volunteers participated in the study. The mean age of the participants was 43.3±11.32 years (18-71 years), with 61.3% being females and 38.7% were males. The frequency of the risk factors of CKD observed were obesity in 45 (30.0%) of the participants and diabetes mellitus found in 44 (29.3%) of the participants, Proteinuria and glycosuria were found in 49 (32.7%) and 9 (6.0%) of the participants respectively while a whopping 37 (24.7%) of the participants had haematuria. The number of participants found with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of <60ml/min/1.73m2 were 55 (36.7%). There was an independent association between older age (p = 0.010), being widowed/divorced (p = 0.041), and having diabetes (p = 0.006) with an eGFR <60ml/min/1.73m2. \u0000Conclusion The prevalence of CKD risk factors in this study population was high. Therefore, there is the need for adequate and continuous sensitization and routine screening in our various clinics for early detection and early management by lifestyle and risk factor modification to halt or reduce the growing burden of CKD with its attendant morbidity and mortality in Nigeria.","PeriodicalId":29646,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Health Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43004337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Again, electroencephalography (EEG) is an important investigation in epileptology and more so in monitoring seizure remission. Thus, in a resource constrained country like Nigeria, our study aimed to determine the epileptiform activities using routine EEG recordings on subjects in seizure remission compared to those subjects with active seizures. \u0000Methods: In our study, and following ethical approval, standard EEG recording was carried out on convenient samples of equal number (131) of subjects with active seizure and those in seizure remission using the “Neurofax” Electroencephalography, EEG-1200 (R) machine. The EEG machine was used to carry out an awake 22-channel EEG scalp recording on each subject. \u0000Results: Among subjects with active seizures, the mean duration of seizure was 2.80±2.44 years, with range of 0.5 to 12.0 years. For subjects in seizure remission (SSR), the mean duration of remission was 2.41±1.03 years, with range of 1 to 5 years. Out of the 131 subjects with seizure, 37 (28.3%) had normal EEG recording; and 94 (71.7%) had abnormal EEG recordings with various forms of epileptiform activities. On the other hand, of the 131 subjects in seizure remission (SSR), nearly half, 62 (47.3%) had normal EEG recording and 69(52.7%) had abnormal (epileptiform activities) recording.

Knowledgeable health care workers are pivotal to this, and it therefore becomes imperative to assess health workers in this regard. The objective of this study was to ascertain the level of knowledge, the kind of attitude towards and practices of disease prevention among health-talk giving primary health care workers in Osogbo, south western Nigeria. \u0000Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study done among 204 respondents from 13 primary health care centres in Osogbo selected using multi-stage sampling technique. The research instrument used was a self-administered questionnaire analysed with SPSS 23.0. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were done as appropriate and a p-value of <0.05 was taken as statistically significant. \u0000Results: The results of this study revealed that at least nine out of ten respondents had good knowledge (90.2%) and positive attitude (94.1%) towards disease prevention. A greater proportion of doctors (100%) had good knowledge of disease prevention compared to other health workers while nurses took the lead in having a positive attitude (97.4%). Respondents had varying responses in their practices towards disease prevention, but generally speaking, most respondents who had good knowledge and positive attitudes also exhibited good practices. The only identifiable predictor of respondent's knowledge was level of education, (p=0.024 OR=0.157). \u0000Conclusion: The fact that about a tenth of respondents had poor knowledge and about 5% had negative attitude towards disease prevention is a major cause for concern. Since health talk-giving health workers interact directly with the populace, the potentially huge negative effects that this minority can have cannot be underestimated. Therefore, there is a need for close-monitoring and regular review of the kind of information given to clients as well as training and re-training of health workers.","PeriodicalId":29646,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Health Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42595200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
