Priapism in southwestern Nigeria.

OBJECTIVES To determine the aetiology, pattern of presentation, treatment regimen and outcome of management of priapism in our environment and to compare our findings with previous studies in this country and elsewhere. DESIGN A 10-year retrospective study from January 1991 to December 2000. SETTING Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Complex, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. PATIENTS AND METHO...

Distribution Pattern and Antibiotics Susceptibilities of Some Aquatic Soil Microbes in Akungba-akoko Community, Nigeria

Different soil samples were examined for the isolation of microorganisms and their susceptibility to different antibiotics. The places of collection include Akungba and Ayepe, Oka Akoko area. Area of collection includes; Alakuduru stream, Pond, Apex water, spring, Alakuduru stagnant water. The study shows that Alakuduru stagnant water has the highest colony forming unit of bacteria ranging betw...

Gneiss domes and gneiss dome systems

Various mechanisms have been proposed for the dynamic cause and kinematic development of gneiss domes. They include (1) diapiric fl ow induced by density inversion, (2) buckling under horizontal constriction (i.e., extension perpendicular to compression), (3) coeval orthogonal contraction or superposition of multiple phases of folding in different orientations, (4) instability induced by vertic...

Urban Gully Development in Southwestern Nigeria

This study examined the development of urban gullies in a part of Southwestern Nigeria. This was done with a view to determine the volume and amount of sediment loss from the 1 and 2 order gullies in a cascade system. Twenty (20) towns were randomly selected from where thirty (30) gully systems comprising forty (40) 1 order and five (5) 2 order gullies were measured with Tape and Total Station ...
