Background: Normal pregnancy is usually associated with weight gain. Abnormal gain in could result adverse neonatal and maternal outcome. Studies related to this Nigeria are limited.Objective: The aim was evaluate the pattern of feto-maternal outcome among women different body mass indices attending antenatal clinic Federal capital territory (FCT).Study design: This a longitudinal, multicentre ...

Background: Neonatal sepsis remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among neonates clinical manifestations are non-specific. Delayed identification inappropriate treatment remain as key factors causing high neonatal mortality. Increasing emergence multidrug-resistant organisms reduces antibiotic options. Hence there is need for institutional guidelines based on local microbial preval...

UNLABELLED There is insufficient evidence on optimal neonatal feeding intervals, with a wide range of practices. The stomach capacity could determine feeding frequency. A literature search was conducted for studies reporting volumes or dimensions of stomach capacity before or after birth. Six articles were found, suggesting a stomach capacity of 20 mL at birth. CONCLUSION A stomach capacity o...

Hypoglycaemia is a common barrier to optimal glycaemic management and often feared among adults with type 1 diabetes. The aim of this systematic review was summarize current evidence regarding the impact hypoglycaemia on quality life (QoL) related outcomes. Electronic searches MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Cochrane Database Systematic Reviews, Central Register Controlled Trials were conducted. Pee...

ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels are critical for the maintenance of glucose homeostasis. They are essential for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells, contribute to the mechanisms by which hypoglycaemia stimulates glucagon release from pancreatic alpha-cells, and are involved in glucose uptake into skeletal muscle, glucose production and release from the live...
