Conclusion: OPP was lower in POAG subjects than in NG subjects. The observed relationship suggests that reduced OPP may play a role in the development of POAG. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)

Ki-67, p-53, E-Cadherin, and & #946;-Catenin expression of advanced glotto-subglottic and supraglottic larynx carcinomas
Conclusions: With these results, our study differs from some studies in the literature, and we think that this difference could be because the cases in our study consisted of advanced stage tumors and the groups investigated had similar survival rates.

A novel combined index of D-dimer, fibrinogen, albumin, and platelet (FDAPR) as mortality predictor of COVID-19
Conclusions: This study revealed that the FDAPR index could be used as a mortality marker of COVID-19 disease. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)

Incidence and causes of early hospital readmissions after living donor renal transplant & #8211; A single centre study
Conclusions: Renal transplant recipients with hospital admissions 90 days before transplant and readmissions within 30 days of discharge after transplantation are at high risk of morbidity and should be treated as high-risk category and should have more stringent follow-up protocols.

Serum immunoglobulins, C-reactive protein, and trace element level in preeclamptic Nigerian subjects
Conclusion: This study therefore reveals significantly lower levels of immunoglobulins and trace elements among the preeclamptic subjects. These micronutrient deficiencies and low levels of immunoglobulins could be risk factors for the development of high blood pressure and PE. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)

Determination of the level of von willebrand factor and ADAMTS13 in sickle cell anaemia patients in steady state
Conclusion: There was no significant difference between VWF.Ag, ADAMTS13, and VWF.Ag: ADAMTS13 antigen ratio in SCA in the steady state and control. There is a need for further research to determine their functionality. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)

Differences in SUV39H1 and androgen receptor distribution in adenomyomatous hyperplasia and prostatic adenocarcinoma
Conclusion: In our study, AR expression was greater in AH compared to PCa samples. This situation is inverse to the known mechanism and cannot be clearly explained. It needs to be supported with large series and other prognostic parameters. This study observed increased SUV39H1 values in PCa compared to AH and from this aspect, it may be considered an important poor prognosis parameter. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)

Traumatic bone cyst in the mandibular ramus & #8211; A diagnostic dilemma
Y Thelekkat, SA BasheerNigerian Journal of Clinical Practice 2022 25(8):1382-1385
Traumatic bone cysts (TBCs) are uncommon, nonneoplastic lesions occurring more commonly in the metaphysis of the long bones and contribute to only 1% of the cysts occurring in the jaws. Seen more commonly in the mandible between the canine and third molar, their occurrence in the ramus-condyle region is very rare. The radiographic appearance of this lesion is like odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) or ameloblastoma and, therefore, extremely challenging to diagnose. Misdiagnosis often results in aggressive treatment for an otherwise inno...

Coloboma of the retina, choroid and iris co-existing with cardiac & #38; Skeletal anomalies in a male Nigerian: A case of noonan syndrome
YO BabalolaNigerian Journal of Clinical Practice 2022 25(8):1377-1381
A 19-year-old male undergraduate presented to the eye clinic with a history of poor vision in the left eye since childhood. The best-corrected visual acuity was 6/6 in the right eye and hand movement in the left eye respectively. Examination of the anterior segment of the right eye was essentially normal, whereas the anterior segment examination of the left eye revealed a small globe, microcornea, and an iris coloboma inferiorly at the 6 o'clock position. Binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy of the right eye revealed a pink disc, normal vessels ...

An adolescent with ileum herniation through foramen of winslow: A case report and literature review
Conclusions: Through the review of the literature, it is clear that herniation through foramen of Winslow (HFW) is a more challenging condition to diagnose preoperatively, which can be achieved with the help of complementary diagnostics especially CT. As a category of diseases with a very low postoperative recurrence rate, clinical experience tells us that only three-trocar laparoscopic surgery can successfully return HFW.

Rapid herpes zoster infection on latissimus dorsi flap following breast reconstruction: A case report
EC Karadag Sari, S YazarNigerian Journal of Clinical Practice 2022 25(8):1369-1371
In addition to the esthetic outcomes, autologous breast reconstruction offers satisfactory functional results via sensory recovery of the flap. A herpes zoster infection developed after an autologous breast reconstruction provides objective evidence of spontaneous reinnervation in a reconstructed breast. One previous case of a herpes zoster infection on autologous latissimus dorsi flap has been reported to date; the infection developed 2 years after the breast reconstruction operation. However, our case presents a herpes zoster infection de...
