Background: Diabetes constitutes an important faction of the health and economic burden worldwide and its occurrence continues to rise especially in developing countries. Aim: To study the distribution in dyslipidemia occurrence over a period of 1 year in a diabetic and non-diabe...
Aim: To measure creatine kinase – myocardial band (CK-MB) concentration in stable patients with chronic kidney disease who had not commenced hemodialysis and determine its relationship with cardiac Troponin I and cardiovascular risk factors. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. P...
Background: In many developed countries, acute rheumatic fever is eradicated through strong health promotion and prevention efforts; yet, it continues to cause serious health problems in many developing countries including Ethiopia. The main aim of the study was to assess the pre...
Aim: Atherosclerosis is the most common etiology of obstruction of the arteries leading to limb ischemia. Critical limb ischemia (CLI) in a young adult we need to consider non-atherosclerotic diseases. Case Presentation: We present a rare of cause CLI in a 35-year-old man who pre...
Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy are a leading cause of peripartum morbidity and mortality. Preeclampsia is a heterogeneous maternal syndrome. Large studies have pointed out the association of impaired spiral artery remodeling at the fetomaternal interphase in preeclampsia, bu...
Background: The sickle cell anaemia is a genetics sickness, autosomal, recessive, secondary to a punctual mutation at sixth codon level of globine gene with substitution of glutamic acid by valine. The prevalence of S hemoglobin is relatively high, reaching 40 % of central Afric...
Background: Assessment of carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) have evolved over the years to assume a key role in assessment of cardiovascular risk. However, there is paucity of data on CIMT among Nigerian. We assessed CIMT and its association with cardiovascular risk factors a...
Newer mechanisms of action of Acetyl Salicylic acid have been discovered in proresolving pathway of various disorders. Omega 3 fatty acids are also involved in the synthesis of resolvins via an aspirin triggered pathway. The present review aims to discuss the role of recently dis...

Background: Pregnancy Induced Hypertension is a multisystem heterogeneous disorder occurring in 4-7% of all pregnancies. Fetal villi in the intervillous space at fetomaternal interphase show ischemic, oxidative and immune mediated damage. This study was conducted to outline the r...
Aims: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) secondary to hypertension and aortic stenosis (AS) are often considered together to be pressure overload hypertrophy. We hypothesized that important differences could exist in the myocardial function with these 2 origins of pressure-overlo...
