Abstract

This study developed a 6-dimensional nonlinear ordinary differential equation model to investigate the criminal activity associated with narcotic drug abuse in Nigeria. The model was structured around the dynamics of disease transmission, with the goal of limiting and potentially eliminating the threat posed by drug abuse crimes. The analysis of the basic reproduction number, R0, revealed that narcotic drug abuse will die out when R0<1, and become endemic when R0>1. The model’s stability analysis showed that the narcotic drug abuse-free equilibrium is asymptotically stable when the Routh-Hurwitz criteria are satisfied. The study emphasizes the importance of consistent law enforcement, effective rehabilitation programs, and a coordinated, multi-sectoral approach to addressing the escalating narcotic drug abuse crisis in Nigeria. The findings of this research are recommended for consideration by policymakers, public health professionals, and community stakeholders to mitigate the far-reaching consequences of this pressing issue. The use and trafficking of narcotic drugs have emerged as a growing public health and social concern in Nigeria in recent years. The misuse of narcotics, including substances such as opioids, cannabis, and cocaine which is alarming in the preval_ence of narcotic drug abuse across the country, with profound implications for individual well-being, public safety, and socioeconomic development.

Abstract

Hypertension is a preval_ent health condition worldwide, posing a significant risk for cardiovascular diseases. This study investigates the effect of treatment on blood pressure in individuals with hypertension, aiming to compare blood pressure levels before and after treatment, eval_uate the effectiveness of different treatment modalities, and assess the impact of treatment on other health outcomes. A quasi-experimental design is utilized, with participants recruited through convenience sampling. Data on blood pressure measurements are collected from medical records, and descriptive statistics and paired t-tests are used for data analysis. The results indicate a significant decrease in blood pressure levels after treatment, supporting the effectiveness of lifestyle modifications and pharmacological interventions in managing, emphasizing the importance of early detection and individualized treatment plans. Future research should focus on exploring the long-term effect of treatment and optimizing treatment strategies for specific patient populations.
