“…In females, the reproductive activities were high as at when they were caught which is an indication that spawning is likely to be in the rainy season and the male might have released their milt during fertilization. The reproductive cycle is annual as reported by [48][49][50]. The result obtained is in agreement with the findings of [51,52].…”

This study was carried out to compare and assess the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) and Milt Volume of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) from four population strains in the North-East of Nigeria. The broodstocks for the experiment were collected from lake Alau in Borno State, Lake Dadin Kowa in Gombe State, Lake Maladumba in Bauchi State and Lake Mayo Ranewo in Taraba State. The experiment was carried out at the hatchery complex of the Department of Fisheries, University of Maiduguri. A total of eighty C. gariepinus, twenty from each lake were collected. Standard methods were used to determine the gonadosomatic index and milt volume of the broodstock fish. The result obtained showed that the highest GSI value in males was 0.48±0.14 for fish caught from Lake Mayo Ranewo and the lowest GSI in males value was 0.28±0.01 for fish caught from Lake Maladumba. While the highest GSI value in females was 9.18±2.48 for fish caught from Lake Maladumba and the lowest GSI in females value was 4.06±0.65 for fish caught from Lake Dadin Kowa. There was a significant difference (P<0.05) on the GSI among the males and females fish broodstocks among Lakes The highest milt volume 2.66±0.16 was recorded for fish caught from Lake Mayo Ranewo and the lowest milt volume in males value was 2.32±0.11 and 2.32±0.11 for fish caught from Lake Alau and Lake Dadin Kowa respectively. The results obtained in this study have increase our knowledge on the reproductive biology of wild C. gariepinus from the North-East of Nigeria and have also provided relevant information for fisheries and aquaculture management as well as breeding programmes.

“…The sample size (n) was determined using n = 2 x (Z α + Z β ) 2 x P x (1-P) / (P 0 –P 1 ) 2 [ 17 ], with Zα = 1.96 at 95% confidence level, power of 80% and 41.2% [ 16 ] as the utilization of postnatal services in Nigeria as well as 10% attrition rate, the calculated sample size was 150 in each arm. However, 400 women participated in the study.…”

Postnatal care services use by mothers: A comparative study of defaulters versus attendees of postnatal clinics in Enugu

et al. 2023

Introduction Despite much emphasis on the reproductive health of women, maternal mortality is still high, especially in postnatal period. Objective To assess the prevalence of postnatal care use and reasons for defaults among mothers attending the child immunization clinics in Enugu, Nigeria. Methods This was a cross-sectional comparative study of 400 consecutive nursing mothers who presented at the Institute of Child Health of UNTH and ESUTH, Enugu for Second dose of the Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV2) for their babies at 10 weeks postpartum. Data was collected using Interviewer-administered questionnaire and subsequently analyzed with version 22.0 IBM SPSS software, Chicago, Illinois. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Result The prevalence of the 6th week postnatal clinic attendance among the mothers was 59%. The majority of the women (60.6%) who had antenatal care by skilled birth attendants attended postnatal clinic. Unawareness and being healthy were the main reasons for not attending postnatal clinic. Following multivariate analysis, place of antenatal (OR = 2.870, 95% C.I = 1.590–5.180, p < 0.001) and mode of delivery (OR = 0.452, 95% C.I = 0.280–0.728, p = 0.001) were the only significant predictors of postnatal clinic attendance (p < 0.05). Conclusion Postnatal clinic attendance by women in Enugu is still suboptimal. The main reason for non-attendance of the 6th week postnatal clinic was lack of awareness. There is need for healthcare professionals to create awareness about the importance of postnatal care and encourage mothers to attend.

Background: While patient satisfaction is a core index for the assessment of health quality, waiting time and payment mode in hospitals could influence outpatients’ flow and as well as their level of satisfaction. Objective: This study compared the waiting time of insured and uninsured patients seeking general outpatient care in a tertiary hospital. Methods: A total of 166 insured and 166 uninsured ambulatory adult patients seeking outpatient services were recruited by systematic random sampling and followed through their consultation at the outpatient clinic. Descriptive and inferential statistics were conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Science (version 20.0) at a 5% alpha level and power of 80%. Results: There were more males (54.8%) among the insured and more females (53.0%) among the uninsured, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P = .153). There were significant differences in mean total idle time during outpatient visits (md = 65.7 min; 95% CI: 69.1, 162.8; P < .001) and total time spent (md=106.6 min; 95% CI: 204.8, 211.8; P < .001) in favor of insured patients. The time spent during the consultation was not significantly different (md = 0.8 min; 95% CI: 0.2, 1.7; P = .107). The insured patients were significantly more satisfied with the time spent waiting for nurses’ and doctors’ attention ( P < .001). Conclusion: Significant variations exist in the time spent and level of satisfaction with time spent by insured and uninsured ambulatory patients. Findings call for improving efficiency in patient flow management especially for uninsured patients attending outpatient clinics in public hospitals.
