This study examined the accessibility of mobile point of care ultrasound among doctors in Nigeria. The objectives of the study were to determine the awareness and availability of mobile point of care ultrasound devices among doctors in clinical practice in Nigeria. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study of which both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods were applied. Data was obtained using a self-administered questionnaire. Data was collected from 396 doctors engaged in active clinical practice across Nigeria. Findings from the study revealed that, whereas 92.6% of these doctors require ultrasound services in their practice, only 58% have direct or indirect access to ultrasound services in their facilities. For 23.1% of the doctors, their patients are sent away to other recommended facilities to access ultrasound services, while 16.9%, do not know where their patients source their ultrasound services. The study further revealed that 55% of the doctors are unaware of the existence of any form of mobile point of care wireless ultrasound devices. However, an overwhelming 93.1% of doctors are convinced that using the device in their practice could enable them improve on the clinical assessment of their patients. Whereas 68.3% of doctors are willing to procure and use the device where available, 31.7% are concerned about the affordability of the mobile device. It is evident that mobile wireless ultrasound device is an innovative technology that is sure to significantly improve clinical diagnosis and case detection, enhance service delivery and overall patients outcome especially for those in resource poor environments. This device has the potential to practically eliminate barriers to accessibility of ultrasound guided diagnosis for prompt case detection for population in remote communities. There is therefore the need for increased investment in making this technology widely available to clinicians wherever they are needed. Further research would be required to ascertain the general ultrasound knowledge of these clinicians and routine capacity building provided to continually strengthen their ultrasound guided diagnostics skills.

Viral DNA quantification of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is crucial in treating and managing patients with chronic HBV disease. Although serological testing has contributed immensely to the disease diagnosis, molecular methods such as the quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) are vital in viral load determination. This quantification technique is important for physicians to monitor the progress of antiviral therapy and determine future therapeutic options. In this study, we evaluated the detection efficiency of commercially available kits used in qPCR detection for the HBV viral load quantification. Serum cell-free circulating DNA of 37 patients that have been serologically confirmed positive for HBV and 13 healthy controls were extracted, and qPCR viral load determination was carried out. The results showed that only 13.51 % of the total HBV-positive samples were sufficiently high to be detected with viral load ranges from 0.87 – 1012 IU/mL. The high number of undetected cases 86.49 % may be attributed to the qPCR kit sensitivity as well as variations in the region of detection of viral genome found in the Nigerian population since these kits were designed for a different populace. This necessitates further studies that will validate the underlying mechanisms for the detection of the virus and see the need for indigenous detection kits to address the disease burden of HBV in Nigeria.
