A comparative study of two surgical management methods for cervical incompetence at the University College Hospital, Ibadan
(Nigerian Medical Association, Akwa Ibom State Branch, 2007-02) Oladokun, A.; Adesina, O. A.; Odukogbe, A. A.; Morhason-Bello, I. O.; Adewole, I. F.
Incompetence of the internal uterine cervical os is associated with recurrent pregnancy loss. Different surgical techniques are in practice to correct the defect. The objective of this study therefore was to review the outcome of pregnancies following cervical using either of the two procedure among patients diagnosed as having incompetence of the cervix. A comparative study of 2 standard methods of cerclage used in our hospital, McDonald & Shirodkar, in a group of 80 patients was done. All the patients had cervical cerclage insertion done between the 14 & 16 weeks of gestation using either of the two methods. There was no significant morbidity with either of the 2 methods. The overall success rates, as measured by continuation of the pregnancy to term, were similar. Both methods of cervical cerclage are equally effective in producing the desired outcome, but since the McDonald method is technically simpler to perform, it may be desirable to adopt this approach more frequently.

Serum adiponectin levels in normotensive and pre-eclamptic women at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria
(College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, Nigeria, 2018) Akinpelu, O. M.; Bello, F. A.; Awolude, O. A.; Adetayo, C. O.; Akinwunmi, B. O.; Odukogbe, A. A.
Background: Adiponectin is a hormone produced mainly by adipocytes. The levels of adiponectin are inversely related to insulin resistance, hypertension and obesity. Physiological insulin resistance is exaggerated in pre-eclamptic women. The objective of the present study was therefore to compare serum adiponectin levels in pre-eclamptic patients and normotensive patients. Methods: This prospective study was conducted among one hundred and twenty women. Purposive sampling technique was used to select all consenting participants, consisting of sixty pre-eclamptic patients as cases and sixty normotensive pregnant women at comparable gestational age as control. Concentration of serum adiponectin was measured by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Results: Serum levels of adiponectin were significantly higher in the pre- eclamptic group(p<0.001). Body mass index was also significantly higher in women with pre eclampsia (p<0.01).In the pre-eclamptic patients, serum levels of adiponectin showed a weak negative correlation with BMI (r= -0.16, p= 0.22) and no correlation was found in normotensive patients. Conclusion: This study showed a clear distinction in the serum adiponectin concentration between preeclamptic and normotensive pregnant women. The impact of BMI on serum adiponectin in both groups also differs. Therefore, serum adiponectin may be useful in predicting pre-eclampsia.
Sixty-one day twin to twin birth interval in a low technology setting
(College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, 2002) Odukogbe, A. A.; Adesina, O. A.; Babarinsa, I. A.; Onifade, R. A.; Adewole, I. F.
Multiple pregnancy, whether spontaneous or from artificial reproductive techniques, is regarded us high risk. Limiting the twin-twin birth interval to within 30 minutes has been widely practised. However, conservative management of the retained live, immature second twin may be worthwhile. We report a case lasting sixty-one days in a low technology setting.
Stressors and counseling needs of undergraduate nursing students in Ibadan, Nigeria
(Slark incoporated, 2004-09) Omigbodun, O. O.; Onibokun, A. C.; Yusuf, B. O.; Odukogbe, A. A.; Omigbodun, A. O.
Existing evidence suggests that nursing students have high levels of stress and that counseling and other support services should be made available to them. However, the stressors and counseling needs of undergraduate nursing students in Nigeria have yet to be explored. This study used a questionnaire to investigate the: stressors, counseling deeds, and desired counseling facilities of undergraduate nursing students at the University of Ibadan. Common stressors included excessive school work; financial 'problems, inadequate recreational facilities, and overcrowded accommodations. There was an association between reporting inconsiderate, insensitive lecturers as stressors and evidence of psychological distress. Nearly 60% of the respondents felt counseling would help them, and most desired counseling for academics, finances, and relationships. Most (78%) of the respondents preferred an independent facility with trained counselors. Desired characteristics for the services included accessibility, affordability, confidentiality, and a friendly atmosphere. Educators and administrators should use this information to design counseling facilities for students
A survey of preference of parturients in labor
(Nigerian Medical Association, Akwa Ibom State Branch, 2007-02) Oladokun, A.; Adesina, O. A.; Odukogbe, A. A.; Morhason-Bello, I. O.; Kolawole, K.; Adewole, I. F.
Background: There is a growing concern among parturient women to have labour management modified to accommodate some of their preferences based on their previous experience of information obtained from others. Objectives: As service care providers, we sought to identify women's attitude to some important aspects of childbirth, namely: the preferred place or environment of delivery; reasons for dislike of modem labour management; as well as attitudes (cognitive, affect and behaviour) to operative delivery, particularly caesarean delivery. Methods: A survey of women's attitude to some important aspects of childbirth was carried out with the use of questionnaires among women attending antenatal clinic at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria. Results: The study showed a great desire by women to have someone they already know in labour (spouses 58.80%; mother/mother figure 88.68%). Forty percent of those who prefer to deliver outside hospital settings would do so due to unfriendly attitudes of doctors and midwives. Conclusion-There is the need to appropriately train doctors and midwives who attend to women in labour as regards the anxieties and needs of the women in labour.
