The efficacy of bismuth quadruple therapy, sequential therapy, and hybrid therapy as a first-line regimen for Helicobacter pylori infection compared with standard triple therapy
Conclusion: In terms of eradication, HT had the best rate, whereas the lowest rate was in the sTT treatment group. This study does not recommend using sTT because of the low eradication rates. This study recommends HT for overcoming antibiotic resistance and better results. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)

Correlation between prostate volume and prostate-specific antigen in Nigerian men with symptomatic histologically-diagnosed benign prostatic hyperplasia
Conclusion: There is a statistically significant correlation between PV and PSA (both free and total) in men with symptomatic histologically diagnosed BPH. This finding showed that larger benign prostate glands elaborated greater amounts of PSA. It may, therefore, be appropriate to say that it is not in all cases of elevated serum tPSA that the possibilities of malignancy or inflammation should be entertained.

A novel scarless laparoscopic method for morgagni hernia repair
Conclusions: In conclusion, our method is characterized by a shorter operation time, early return to feeding, early discharge, excellent cosmetic results, low cost, and low recurrence rate. Further prospective trials are needed to compare our novel scarless technique to other methods. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)

A comparison of peripheral blood smear microscopy and detection of histidine-rich protein 2 in blood in the diagnosis of malaria in pregnancy
Conclusions: The diagnostic performances of both tests were comparable; however, RDT-HRP2 had a higher sensitivity and accuracy than PVBSM for the diagnosis of malaria in pregnancy. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)

Comparison of propofol-fentanyl and propofol-ketamine for sedoanalgesia in percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy procedures
Conclusion: Propofol-ketamine should be preferred for sedoanalgesia during PEG procedures because of the lower dose of propofol, more stable blood pressure, and greater peripheral oxygen saturation. In addition, we believe ketamine-propofol is safer based on its low complication rate. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)

Effects chemical disinfectants on surface roughness of conventional impression materials used for dental prosthetic procedures
Conclusion: Among all impression materials, polyvinyl siloxane showed the least surface roughness following disinfection procedures. Impression disinfectants that are specially designed for disinfecting dental impressions resulted in less surface roughness in all impression materials. With this study, it was aimed to obtain a smooth and clear model for the production of correct and compatible prostheses in the laboratory while at the same time purifying the impressions from microorganisms.

Finite element analysis of optimal design of distal geometry of cementless femoral prosthesis
Conclusion: The bottom “cross” groove of the distal femoral prosthesis can change the stress distribution in the prosthesis-distal femoral region and reduce the stress concentration at the distal prosthesis. Wherein, the grooved design of length ratio 1:1 is more advantageous. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)

The antibacterial activity of nasturtium officinale extract on common oral pathogenic bacteria
Conclusion: N. officinale extract effectively inhibited the growth of the tested oral bacteria at different concentrations but was more effective against S. mutans, E. faecalis, and S. aureus and so may be effective in managing some oral microbial infections.

Posterior quadratus lumborum block versus posterior transversus abdominis plane block for unilateral inguinal hernia surgery
Conclusion: It is concluded that both pQLB and pTAPB provided effective pain relief after unilateral inguinal hernia surgery. pQLB was superior to pTAPB due to lower pain scores and analgesic consumption. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)

Effects of total knee arthroplasty on balance and fall risk in elderly patients with severe gonarthrosis: An age- and sex-matched comparative study
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that total knee arthroplasty provided statistically significant improvement in the clinical, radiological, and fall risk results of the patients. Although there was a decrease in the frequency of falls compared to the control group, it was statistically insignificant. In addition, in our study, it was evaluated that the most important risk factor for falling was advanced age. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)
