Omphalocele: experience in the African tropics.
Omphalocele, the congenital anomaly of the anterior abdominal wall in the newborn, is a serious condition with a grave prognosis. Sac rupture, occurring in 25% of cases in Ibadan is associated with a high mortality. Although its embryogenesis is now better understood, its underlying aetiology remains obscure. Prematurity and low birth weight have no causal relationship to the condition, but a p...

متن کاملDevelopment and Application of a Mesoscale Climate Model for the Tropics: Influence of SST Anomalies on the West African Monsoon
A mesoscale climate model (MCM) is developed from the Pennsylvania State University/ National Center for Atmospheric Research (PSU/ NCAR) MM5 model to simulate the West African summer monsoon. Results from the MCM are compared to observations, a reanalysis, and GCM output to show that the MCM reasonably simulates the West African monsoon climate and its variability, and improves on many shortco...
متن کاملProminent Signs of Oestrusin the West African Dwarf Goat
In order to study the signs of œstrus in the West African Dwarf goat, 28 non pregnant females younger than 24 months of age were used. Most of them (94.7%) had waggled the tail during heat. The frequency of micturition was higher in the presence of the male. The swelling of the vulva was observed in 68.4% of goats in heat. The cervico-vaginal mucus was significantly (P≤0.05) abundant and elasti...
