Abstract

Background: Pneumonia remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly among children and older adults in low-resource settings. Diagnosis based on chest X-ray interpretation often depends on radiologist expertise, which may be limited in availability and prone to subjectivity. Deep learning offers a promising alternative to improve diagnostic efficiency and consistency.Aims: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the ResNet-50 architecture for pneumonia detection using chest X-ray images by comparing transfer learning with frozen layers and partial fine-tuning strategies.Methods: A total of 5,856 chest X-ray images were obtained from a public dataset and divided into training, validation, and testing sets using stratified sampling. Data preprocessing included resizing, normalization, and augmentation. Two models were developed: (1) a frozen ResNet-50 model, where all convolutional layers were fixed, and (2) a fine-tuned ResNet-50 model, where the final convolutional layers were retrained. Performance was evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and area under the ROC curve (AUC). Statistical tests were conducted to assess performance differences between the two models.Results: The frozen model achieved an accuracy of 62.50% and an AUC of 0.4819, indicating weak classification performance. In contrast, the fine-tuned model demonstrated substantially higher accuracy of 85.90%, F1-score of 0.8967, and AUC of 0.9510, showing strong discriminative capability. Statistical analysis confirmed that the performance improvement in accuracy was significant.Conclusion: Fine-tuning significantly enhances the applicability of ResNet-50 for pneumonia detection. Without feature adaptation, pretrained models struggle to generalize to medical imaging domains. Fine-tuned transfer learning provides a more reliable framework for developing computer-aided diagnostic systems, particularly in clinical environments with limited expert availability.

Abstract

Abstract Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) remains a critical public health challenge in Nigeria, particularly in Lagos and Kano, where prevalence is high. Although hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an advancing global cure, awareness and acceptance of stem cell therapies in Nigeria are alarmingly low.Aims: This study examines public knowledge and attitudes toward stem cell research and treatments in Lagos and Kano. It also explores barriers to acceptance and evaluates the role of advocacy and institutional programs in promoting awareness.Methods: A mixed-method approach was adopted. Quantitative data were collected from 400 respondents using structured questionnaires, while qualitative insights came from key informant interviews with healthcare professionals and advocacy staff. Four SCD centers were also assessed for their stem cell awareness programs.Result: Findings show that only 32.5% of Lagos respondents and 18.7% of Kano respondents had prior awareness of stem cell research, with far fewer demonstrating accurate knowledge of its applications and safety. Major barriers to acceptance include cultural beliefs, ethical concerns, financial constraints, and misinformation. Of the four centers evaluated, only one had a structured awareness program, while advocacy efforts were hindered by inadequate funding, limited technical training, and weak engagement with healthcare institutions.Conclusion: Public awareness of stem cell therapies in Nigeria is critically low. Strengthening advocacy capacity, implementing targeted education campaigns, and expanding government support through policy and financing are essential to improve access, acceptance, and utilization of novel stem cell treatments for SCD.

Abstract

Delayed care processes, lack of attention, and limited knowledge in receiving patient information often lead to poor communication among nurses. The World Health Organization recommends SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) as a structured communication tool to convey critical information requiring immediate action. This study aimed to determine the implementation of SBAR communication among nurses during handovers between shifts before and after a mini seminar in the Mawar Inpatient Ward, West Kalimantan. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was applied and described descriptively. The results showed that before the mini seminar, 50% of respondents applied SBAR communication incorrectly, while 50% applied it correctly. After the mini seminar, there was a significant improvement, with 100% of respondents applying SBAR communication appropriately. These findings indicate that the mini seminar successfully improved the implementation of SBAR communication among nurses during shift handovers. In conclusion, the mini seminar was proven to enhance the professionalism of nursing services by optimizing communication, reducing the risk of medical errors, and supporting better quality of care in the inpatient ward.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Phyllanthus amarus is among the most significant medicinal plants found in tropical and subtropical regions, commonly used in the treatment of diseases affecting the stomach, liver, kidneys, and spleen. This study aimed to identify the phytochemical constituents and evaluate the antimicrobial activities of the leaves of Phyllanthus amarus METHOD: The powdered leaf sample was extracted using ethanol at a sample-solvent ratio of 1:3. The resulting crude extract was then fractionated using four different solvents: petroleum ether, chloroform, acetone, and methanol. Each of the four fractions was subsequently subjected to phytochemical screening and antimicrobial activity evaluation. RESULTS: The results indicated that the plant leaves contained all the phytochemicals tested. The petroleum ether fraction showed the presence of all the phytochemical constituents. The chloroform fraction contained alkaloids, saponins, polyphenols, and glycosides only. The acetone fraction exhibited all the phytochemicals except saponins, polyphenols, and terpenoids, while the methanol fraction contained alkaloids, steroids, polyphenols, and glycosides. Antimicrobial analysis revealed zones of inhibition against the tested organisms, with the chloroform fraction demonstrating the highest activity. These findings suggest that the plant possesses both physiological and medicinal significance for humans, consistent with previous research reports CONCLUTION: The antimicrobial evaluation of four fractions showed zones of inhibition on the tested organisms, which verified their uses in the treatment of various ailments may be attributable to some of its phytochemical constituents with high drug properties.

Abstract

Background: Cerebrovascular accidents following Hymenoptera stings are exceptionally rare, with most reported cases involving multiple stings. This case study presents an unique case of acute ischemic stroke triggered by a single wasp sting and highlights the critical role of early intensive physiotherapy in achieving excellent functional recovery.Case Presentation: A 55-year-old previously healthy electricity lineman sustained a single wasp sting over the neck. After initial symptomatic treatment at a primary health center, he returned to work but collapsed within two hours, presenting with right side weakness, mild aphasia, and apraxia. Brain imaging showed subtle small-vessel ischemic changes without large-vessel occlusion. Extensive thrombophilia and cardioembolic workups were normal. The stroke was attributed to venom-induced vasospasm and inflammatory/thrombogenic effects. The patient was managed with intravenous corticosteroids, dual antiplatelet therapy, and low-molecular-weight heparin. Structured inpatient physiotherapy commenced on the patient who stays in the wards, good progression was noted as the day passes.Results: At the time of discharge the patient was walked with minimal assistance. At one-month follow-up, he achieved modified independence in activities of daily living, with ongoing gradual recovery of hand function. Functional Independence Measure (FIM) on admission it was 13, later it improved to 39 at the time of discharge, and the follow-up of the patient rose to 52. scores improved markedly since the admission to the follow-up.Conclusion: This case demonstrates that even a single wasp sting can precipitate acute ischemic stroke via vasospasm and inflammation. Prompt medical stabilization combined with early, intensive, goal-directed physiotherapy can yield rapid and substantial functional recovery.
