Applications of queuing theory enhance congestion assessment of in-patient facilities in hospitals and can improve significantly on the impact of quality healthcare as well as on patient satisfaction. This study examined the congestion situations which include the length of stay (LOS) for admissions and discharges of male and female in-patients at Psychiatric Unit of Specialist Hospital (PUSH), Yola. Data were obtained from a secondary source and analyzed with EasyFit software, IBM-SPSS, TORA and MS-Excel.

Introduction: The main purpose of the surgery of thyroid tumors is to cut the pathological portions of the gland, which at the same time carried an important part of the healthy parenchyma, the seat of possible recurrences. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of thyroidectomy performed at Bangui, identify the indications, and describe the surgical procedure and the post surgical complications.

The authors present one case of gall-bladder tumor diagnosed after laparotomy. The pathology analysis has given the diagnosis of gall-bladder primitive carcinoma. For this case, according to literature review, the authors present the diagnostic and therapeutic problems.so that they recommend the treatment of any diagnosed cholelithiasis as prophylaxis of gall-bladder carcinoma.

We are presenting a case of fourth Gravida with history of previous three spontaneous late first trimester miscarriages. She was diagnosed with protein S Deficiency in non-pregnant state after screening for thrombophilia. The prophylactic therapy with low molecular weight heparin along with Aspirin was introduced from the 6th week of gestation after fetal cardiac activity was appreciated on ultrasound & continued for whole of the gestation. She underwent planned caesarean section at 38 weeks of gestation resulting in the delivery of a healthy male new born of 2.6 kg body weight.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate effect of 2 different pre-treatment procedures before silanization on the fracture resistance of parapost fiber white system. Methods and Materials: Root canal treatment was performed on thirty human single rooted premolars. Post space was prepared and samples were divided into three groups of 10 each according to different treatment viz: Group-I Negative control, Group-II37% phosphoric acid+Silane and Group-III 7th generation bonding agent (Xeno V) +Silane.

The non-compact myocardium also called "spongy left ventricle" is a rare cardiomyopathy characterized by excessive and prominent trabeculations associated with intertrabecular recesses communicated with the ventricular cavity. Since its real prevalence is still imprecise, the most frequent clinical manifestations range from ventricular arrhythmias, thromboembolism to heart failure; echocardiography has remained the traditional diagnostic tool, but magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly used.

Male of 36 years of age, when being in a sports activity, suffers fall of his support plane with support on his right ankle in investment and forced varus, WITH bone deformity in the lateral region of the ankle, with inability for the mobility arcs. In the emergency department, a right deformity with varus deformity was observed, with significant edema of the lateral region of the ankle, with incapacity for mobility, without distal neurovascular compromise. X-rays are requested and a lateral closed dislocation of the talus is observed, with integrity of both malleoli.

Naturopathy has recently been defined as a system of primary care (Wardle, Adams, Lui and Steel, 2013) defined not by the substances it prescribes but rather by the values and principles that underpin and govern its practice. Hence, Wardle et al. (2013), as well as Wardle, Sibbritt, Broom, Steel and Adams (2016), make the claim that naturopathic medicine is best defined as an art, science, philosophy, practice of diagnosis, treatment strategy, committed to the prevention of illness.

Brain tumor is one of the most devastating forms of human illness, especially when occurring in the posterior fossa cranial tumors. Posterior fossa tumors are considered critical brain tumors primarily because of the limited space within the posterior fossa tumors and the potential involvement of vital brain stem nuclei. The objective: To describe and evaluate the magnetic resonance imaging pattern of posterior cranial fossa tumors and to determine their clinical Presentations.

Background: Shoulder Impingement syndrome (SIS) is the second common musculoskeletal pain condition. Shoulder girdle muscle imbalance, tight posterior capsule and cervical core instability have been implicated as contributing factors. The alignment of the cervical spine is important to the forces transmitted through the upper extremity and the shoulder joint, However the effect of cervical core stability in treatment of SIS are not conclusively studied.
