ABSTRACT:
Background: The successes of modern obstetrics practice could not have been achieved without a well-cultured and planned antenatal care. These achievements could be noticed in the developed countries where properly organized antenatal surveillances are priorities for both government and the populace, which has remarkably improved fetomaternal outcome. The aim of this study is to evaluate factors contributing to late booking and hindrances to ANC in rural Nigeria. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study with the aid of a structured questionnaire and a sample size of 190 pregnant women attending antenatal clinic in the Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital, Okolobiri. Result. A total of 190 pregnant women enrolled at booking, average age was 29.67±4.8 years, average gestational age was 31±6.2 weeks, 28.41% have pensionable jobs, while 12.63% were housewives, and 58.23% had previous delivery at TBA. 63.68% had previous ANC attendance, while 49.37% have delivered at least once in a government hospital. 53.68% had abdominal massage and fear of surgery caused 23.4% to choose TBA in earlier pregnancies. Socio-cultural values and cost also affected decisions 12.03% and 10.76% respectively, 9.80% found abdominal massage useful, while 61.05% would like to book in antenatal, if free. Conclusion: Antenatal booking is still low, despite many public enlightenment campaign programs, due to ignorance and misconception about pregnancy. It is therefore necessary to revisit the currently adopted pattern of health education in the much affected population with more rigorous awareness propaganda about the need for early booking, which may bring improvement of the present state..

ABSTRACT:
Background: Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage. It is always a subjective experience. Pain has been a major concern of human kind and it has been the object of ubiquitous efforts to understand and to control it. Regional anaesthesia of the extremities and of the trunk is a useful alternative to general anaesthesia in many demanding situations. The main drawback of long acting local anaesthetic drugs such as Bupivacaine was delayed onset of action.
Methods: This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 100 orthopaedic cases of upper limb surgery to study the effect of adding dexmedetomidine to bupivacaine for supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks on the onset time and duration of motor and sensory blocks
Results and conclusion: From our study, we conclude that, the addition of Dexmedetomidine (1μg/kg) as an adjuvant to bupivacaine (0.5%) has following effects: Faster onset of sensory block, Faster onset of motor block, Longer duration of sensory block, Longer duration of motor block, Less number of rescue analgesics in post-op 24 hours and no significant difference in haemodynamic variables i.e., pulse rate, systolic BP, diastolic BP and O2 saturation.

ABSTRACT:
To evaluate self-perception of pain for elastomeric separators at various time intervals. Ten patients who required fixed orthodontic treatment participated the study with Duraseps™ and Ring separators inserted for two days on the inter-proximal surfaces of upper first permanent molar on both sides. Questionnaire was used before, upon insertion and upon removal of the separator to register the pain perceptions at chewing and rest using a ten point scale and questions about impact of pain on daily routines. The mean scores revealed no significant differences between both separators at chewing or rest during baseline, upon insertion and during removal (p>0.05). The mean pain scores on the second day were higher in chewing than resting for both Duraseps™ (p=0.012) and Ring (p=0.026). ( Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test ). Among daily routines, none of the respondents was affected of leisure activities and work. One respondent was affected in sleep and one had taken analgesic to relieve pain. Four respondents had changed their diet to soft food. Both separators cause no statistically significant difference in pain experience throughout the period of separators placements. Patients should be advised to take soft diet to avoid unnecessary pain during the separation period.

ABSTRACT:
The present study was carried out to identify the phytocomponents present in the methanolic extract of Hildegardia poplifolia by GC-MS analysis to learn it’s usage by the traditional healers as ‘a plant possessing medicinal properties’. Eighteen compounds were identified. The major constituents are 3, 7, 11, 15-Tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol (43.96%), Olean-12-ene (11.55%) n-Hexadecanoic acid (10.56%) and 4-Pyrimidinamine, 2, 6-dimethyl- (4.34%). Many of them are used in pharmacy for various uses like antioxidant, anti-diabetic, malaria, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and antimicrobial.
