    Abstract: Electrocardiograph during anaesthesia provides information on cardiac electrical activity which may affect cardiac function. This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of prolonged volatile anaesthesia using halothane and isoflurane on the electrographic and anaesthetic profiles in Nigerian dogs. They were prepared for anaesthesia and connected to a 5-lead patient monitor (GMI®). Venous access was secured and lactated ringer's solution administered at a maintenance flow rate of 5mlkghr-1.Tracheae were intubated following induction with thiopentone and anaesthesia maintained with 0.5% halothane (group A) and 2.0% isoflurane (group B) in 2liters/minute oxygen respectively with the animals breathing spontaneously. The readings were taken, prior to induction of anaesthesia (control) and every 30 minutes thereafter for six hours during anaesthesia. Data were presented as mean and standard deviation.Differences were considered significant at p≤0.05. The values of ST segment (sec) and P-waves (sec) were both low, 0.068 ± 0.013 and 0.064 ± 0.017 and 0.020 ± 0.001 and 0.020 ± 0.001 respectively for isoflurane and halothane. However the values of P-waves (mV) and P-R intervals (sec) were significantly higher in group A, (0.193 ±0.136 and 0.046 ±0.01) compared to group B, 0.193 ± 0.98 and 0.039 ± 0.01 respectively. Isoflurane produced prolongation of Q-T intervals (sec) and QRS complex (sec), 0.123 ± 0.018 and 0.023 ± 0.008 compared to halothane, 0.121 ± 0.023 and 0.021 ± 0.005. The ECG parameters measured revealed no adverse effect of halothane or isoflurane on the heart in Nigerian local dogs.There was prolonged QT interval in group B. In conclusion, halothane appears a better drug of choice in prolonged anaesthesia in Nigerian dogs.

    Abstract: A White Fulani cow whose record reveals three-year old, weighing about 350kg belonging to DUFARMS of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta was presented with a swelling on the left flank. Clinical evaluation of the animal revealed the following: rectal temperature, 38.2oC, heart rate, 60bpm and respiratory rate, 35bpm. A rectangular shaped mass, soft and warm to touch was palpated on the left flank. Pus was aspirated from the swelling with a sterile needle and syringe, and taken for biogram. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from the aspirate which was sensitive to antibiotic, enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin and gentamycin (Table 1). Total surgical extirpation of the encapsulated abscess was carried out aseptically under sedation and local anaesthesia and managed chemotherapeutically using antimicrobial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory agents post operatively.

    Abstract: Rabbits are easily stressed. Stress can be caused by pain, disease, unfamiliar surroundings, transport, rough handling or proximity of potential predators. Thus, this study was conceived to evaluate the effective sedative and analgesic doses of dexmedetomide gluconate in rabbits using the constant rate infusion (CRI) technique. Eight healthy adult New Zealand White rabbits with an average weight of 1.93 ± 0.33kg were used for the study. They were starved of feed for three hours before the experiment but were supplied water sufficiently. The CRI infusion was prepared by adding 1mcgkg-1 into 500mL bags of lactated ringer's solution. Each rabbit received an initial dose of 20mcgkg-1 dexmedetomidine® intramuscularly at the thigh muscle. Venous access was secured fifteen minutes later and the fluid prepared for CRI was connected to the cannular, the fluid was set to flow at daily fluid maintenance rate of 90mlkgday-1 for one hour. The procedure was repeated replacing 20mcgkg-1 with 40mcgkg-1. Neither sedation nor analgesia was achieved with 20mcgkg-1 dexmedetomidine® while 40mcgkg-1 gave mild to moderate sedation, however, no analgesic effect was observed with the two dose regimes. In conclusion, sedation was achieved with 40mcgkg-1 but no analgesic effect was achieved in both doses used.

    Abstract: Background: Early detection and intervention programs for children with hearing loss have proven to be beneficial in developed countries, whereas in Nigeria, it takes an average of 1 to 5 years to identify hearing loss in children. Objective: The aim of this study is to objectively assess children with supposed hearing loss as seen in the otological clinic of LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, Nigeria. Methods: A retrospective study of 52 Children who presented at the otological clinic of LAUTECH Teaching Hospital with supposed hearing loss. Otoacoustic Emissions (MAICO ERO SCAN) and Auditory Brainstem Response (MAICO MB 11) were used to assess their hearing abilities. Analysis of data was done through simple percentage using SPSS 16. Results: OAE results revealed that only 7 (13.5%) passed bilaterally while the remaining 45 (86.5%) were referred. ABR reports revealed on the right ears that 6 (11.5%) patients had normal hearing while the remaining 46 (88.5%) were abnormal and on the left ears, 4 (7.7%) patients were normal while 48 (92.3%) were abnormal. Out of the 52 patients seen, 49 (94.2%) accounted for and they received the best management that could be offered while the remaining 3 (5.8%) were lost to follow up. Conclusion: In developing countries like ours, early screening of neonates is hampered by lack of appropriate equipment and appropriate national policy, hence devastating consequences are recorded whereas in developed countries, newborn hearing screening programs enable early hearing loss detection and intervention which produce long-lasting beneficial effects in every aspect of life endeavor.

    Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is an endocrine and metabolic disorder of humans and animals characterized by hyperglycemia and low blood insulin levels or insensitivity of target organs to insulin and it’s a major health problem affecting patient’s quality of life due to its many complications. Infertility is one of the major secondary complications in diabetes. Although numerous drugs have been used for intervention studies on diabetes-induced infertility worldwide, there are currently no treatments for diabetes associated infertility in humans. This study was performed to investigate the effects of Annona muricata ethanolic leaf extract (AMELE) on fertility of male diabetic rats and levels of blood glucose. Twenty male Wistar rats (150-200g) were randomly distributed into 4 groups (n=5) treated thus: CTRL (control), DNT, DT1 and DT2 (diabetic, single intraperitoneal injection, streptozotocin, 60 mg/kg). Group DT1 and DT2 received AMELE orally at 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg respectively daily for fourteen days. Data were analysed using ANOVA at α0.05. The animals were sacrificed after 2 weeks via thiopental injection and testicular weights were recorded. Fasting blood glucose was determined using a digital glucometer. Sperm count, motility, viability and morphology were assessed microscopically. Testes were histologically evaluated. The results showed that oral administration of AMELE at 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg to diabetic male rats for fourteen days significantly decreased blood glucose level and also ameliorated diabetes-induced decreases in sperm functions in streptozotocin-induced diabetic male rats.

    Abstract: Background: Patients with ORL lesions sometimes present to the general emergency room. This study reviews the common ENT admissions via emergency room in a sub-urban town in Nigeria. Methods: A retrospective study spanning five years from January 2009 to December 2013. Results: A total of 211 cases consisting of 131 (62.1%) males with male: female ratio 1.6: 1 and a mean age of 32.8 ± 22.4 years. About a quarter of the patients were children, the peak age was 21-40 years (in 37%). The common indications for emergency otorhinolaryngological admissions were Epistaxis (16.1%), Nasal/facial trauma (14.7%), pharyngo-esophageal foreign bodies (13.3%) and upper airway obstruction (8.1%). Majority 16 (57.1%) of the Pharyngo-esophageal FBs occurred in children. Most of the airway obstructions in children were due to juvenile recurrent respiratory papillomatosis while laryngeal cancer was the major cause among the adult. Sixty percent had surgical procedures, 86.7% had satisfactory outcome and mortalities were recorded in 1.4%. Conclusion: Majority of causes for ORL admissions via emergency unit are of pharyngo-esophageal origin. There is apparent reversal of the otological origin trend in ENT admissions via A & E unit.
