Development of the African Digital Health Library (ADHL): Experience at the Medical Library, University of Ibadan, Nigeria
(Journal of Health Information and Librarianship, 2020-07-12) Grace Ada Ajuwon, Michael Chinweike Chigbundu, Godwin Omogbai, Patrick Agwu
The African Digital Health Library,(ADHL) is a collaborative project involving five African institutions namely Bamako University of Science and Technology, Kenya Methodist University, Universities of Ibadan, Nairobi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The University of Ibadan Nigeria component of the ADHL (ADHL-UI) is described in this paper. Funded by the Office of Global AIDS Coordinator of the United States Department of State, the goal of ADHL-UI is to store, preserve, make accessible through an institutional repository, theses and dissertations by postgraduate students of the institution’s College of Medicine. The ADHL-UI has over 1000 theses and dissertations accessible on the internet. Creation of the ADHL-UI, a repository of theses and dissertations in the Medical Library, University of Ibadan, is a major contribution to research development and preservation of institutional scholarly heritage. Effective use by students and faculty will help in reducing duplication of research efforts and create visibility for the authors and the institution.

Developing an integrated library management system with agile methods, the University of Ibadan experience
(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2022-06-20) Patrick Uzodinma Agwu, Ihuoma Sandra Babatope, Oluwatosin Fisayo Idowu, Rita Dumbiri
Agile methods is the software development methodology and practices used in software industry in
which the elements and principles of agile methods are used. Generally, the agile development process
is an incremental work process that promotes the importance of customer satisfaction, collaboration,
communication, teamwork, good quality and planned follow-up practices. The paper aims to discuss
these issues. This paper first presents an overview of agile methods, addresses the most relevant ones
for developing library management system then discusses the utilization of these methods in the context
of the development of an integrated library management system presenting the case of Kenneth Dike
Library, University of Ibadan. The Kenneth Dike Library, University of Ibadan after several attempts
at automating its processes since the early 90’s eventually resolved to develop an in-house Library
Automation System in 2015 using agile methods. The paper refers to definite initiatives taken to improve
development processes as well as discuss the benefits and challenges when applying the agile methods
in order to change traditional working culture and encourage end user participation in the building
process. The following elements of agility can be considered the most effective and relevant:
appreciating the needs of the customers, end-user participation and satisfaction, quality assurance,
ability to redesign and make decisions fast and empowering the team, eliminating of waste. The paper
finally highlights what the library can achieve by adapting a fresh approach for developing, evaluating
and managing its operations and how the library staff can benefit from the agile way of working.

What’s in your hands? A systematic review of dietary assessment methods and estimation of food sizes in a Primary Care Clinic
(Wolters Kluwer - Medknow, 2018) Ogunbode, A. M.; Owolabi, M. O.; Ogunbode, O. O.; Ogunniyi, A.
Introduction: Many patients with non-communicable diseases such as obesity are attended to in Family Practice Clinics where quick dietary assessment along with estimation of food sizes as part of lifestyle modification and appropriate intervention could be offered. We performed a systematic review to determine the dietary assessment methods with the best evidence that can be employed in a Family
Practice Clinic. Methods: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines were used to conduct a systematic review of PubMed, Google, and Google Scholar databases from 1992 to 2017. Results: We found 730 original research articles, case–control studies, review articles, proceedings, transactions, and textbooks. Thirty-seven articles were selected out of which two were secondary data, 12 were review articles, 10 were descriptive surveys, and one was a prospective cohort study. There were two randomized controlled trials, two mixed study designs, one working paper, and seven guides. Food portion size estimation using household objects and the hand guide, then the food pyramid guide along with the food-sized plate intervention was documented. Conclusion: In view of the busy nature of Family Practice Clinics in several countries, in performing dietary assessment, food portions can be estimated using household measures and the hand portion guide. The pyramid guide and the portion-sized plate can then be used for intervention.
Haematological and fibrinolytic status of Nigerian women with post-partum haemorrhage
(BioMed Central(BMC), 2018) Roberts, I.; Shakur, H.; Fawole, B.; Kuti, M.; Olayemi, O.; Bello, A.; Ogunbode, O.; Kotila, T..; Aimakhu, C. O.; Olutogun, T.; Hunt, B. J.; Huque, S
Background: Early treatment with tranexamic acid reduces deaths due to bleeding after post-partum haemorrhage.
We report the prevalence of haematological, coagulation and fibrinolytic abnormalities in Nigerian women with postpartum haemorrhage.
Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of the WOMAN trial to assess laboratory data and rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) parameters in 167 women with postpartum haemorrhage treated at University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria. We defined hyper-fibrinolysis as EXTEM maximum lysis (ML) > 15% on ROTEM.
We defined coagulopathy as EXTEM clot amplitude at 5 min (A5) < 40 mm or prothrombin ratio > 1.5.
Results: Among the study cohort, 53 (40%) women had severe anaemia (haemoglobin< 70 g/L) and 17 (13%) women had severe thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 50 × 109/L). Thirty-five women (23%) had ROTEM evidence of hyper-fibrinolysis. Based on prothrombin ratio criteria, 16 (12%) had coagulopathy. Based on EXTEM
A5 criteria, 49 (34%) had coagulopathy.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that, based on a convenience sample of women from a large teaching hospital in Nigeria, hyper-fibrinolysis may commonly occur in postpartum haemorrhage. Further mechanistic studies are needed to examine hyper-fibrinolysis associated with postpartum haemorrhage. Findings from such studies may optimize treatment approaches for postpartum haemorrhage.
