Issue: 
Vol 67, Issue 3: 2018
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.362
Pages: 
229-32
Synopsis: 
The aim of this article was to examine post-burn bone loss and determine whether it was local or diffuse. These injuries caused systemic bone loss. This bone loss could not be correlated with the severity of the burns.

A Thirteen-year Retrospective Analysis of 179 Odontogenic Tumours in a Nigerian Tertiary Healthcare Facility

Issue: 
Vol 67, Issue 3: 2018
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.375
Pages: 
233-7
Synopsis: 
Odontogenic tumours are derived from epithelial and mesenchymal elements that are part of the tooth-forming apparatus. A retrospective study of patients with a histopathologic diagnosis of orofacial tumours was conducted. Odontogenic tumours constituted 179 (15.3%) cases out of a total of 1170 orofacial tumours.

ABSTRACT

Background: Tumours of odontogenic origin (OTs) resulting from epithelial and mesenchymal elements that are part of the tooth-forming apparatus must be considered as a differential diagnosis when analysing jaw lesions. They may be cystic, myxomatous or sometimes have a mixture of cystic and solid areas.

Bone Mineral Density Measurements of Women in a Black African Population in Lagos, Nigeria Using Accudexa Bone Mineral Density Assessment System: A Preliminary Study

DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.374
Synopsis: 
This study was conducted to justify the need for a bone mineral density(BMD) database for African women in Nigeria whilst testing the appropriateness of using the African-American database as a reference. The preliminary results suggested that they might be inappropriate.

ABSTRACT

Objective: No normative database for bone mineral density (BMD) exists in Nigeria. This study aims to provide the basis for the creation of a normative reference BMD database for women in Nigeria while assessing the appropriateness of applying normative data for African American women to Nigerian females.

Association of Intermittent and Continuous Hypoxaemia with Carotid and Brachial Arterial Intima-Media Thicknesses

Issue: 
Vol 69, Issue 7: 2022
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.370
Pages: 
478-82
Synopsis: 
In this report, we investigated whether or not the effect of intermittent and continuous hypoxia on carotid and brachial artery intima-media thicknesses (IMTs) is similar. We showed that both intermittent and continuous hypoxia result in remarkable alterations in carotid-IMT and brachial-IMT.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To assess the carotid and brachial arteries’ intima-media thicknesses (IMTs) in cases with intermittent (obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS)) and continuous (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)) hypoxaemia together with other confounding demographic and biochemical factors.

Maternal and Fetal Outcomes in Caesarean Sectıons Repeated Fourth and Fıfth Tımes

Issue: 
Vol 69, Issue 5: 2021
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.461
Pages:

Synopsis: 
Women with caesarean sections (CS) repeated four or five times have increased risks for perioperative complications. Placenta previa, with or without accreta, and intra-abdominal adhesions seem to be the major causes of increased morbidity.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the maternal and fetal outcomes associated with caesarean sections (CS) repeated fourth and fifth times.

A Potential Role for the Antidiabetic Drug Metformin in the Treatment of Platinum Resistant Ovarian Cancer

Issue: 
Vol 66, Issue 6: 2017
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.456
Pages: 
674–78
Synopsis: 
The ability of metformin to enhance the cytotoxic profile of carboplatin in platinum resistant OVCAR3 ovarian cancer cells was evaluated alone and in the presence of the FAK inhibitor PF-5733228. Metformin significantly increased OVCAR3 sensitivity to both carboplatin and PF-573228.

Is Imatinib Protective Against to Osteoporosis? - A Comparative Study in Terms of Bone Densitometry on Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia Patients and Healthy Volunteers

DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.447
Synopsis: 
Previous studies have shown that imatinib affects bone metabolism in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients. We aimed in this study to investigate whether the inhibition of tyrosine kinase is a new potential target against osteoporosis which is an important issue for public health.

The Role of FLT3-ITD and CEBPA Mutations on the Prognosis of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in Turkish patients

DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.446
Synopsis: 
In this article, we evaluated the prognostic value of FLT3-ITD and CEBPA mutations in ALL. We did not detect any relationship between FLT3-ITD and CEBPA mutations as prognostic factors. However, FLT3-ITD mutation may affect the response to chemotherapy.
