PERCEPTION AND WILLINGNESS TO THE UPTAKE OF COVID-19 VACCINE AMONG HOUSEHOLD-HEADS IN A RURAL COMMUNITY OF SOUTH-WESTERN NIGERIA.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic and its vaccine have been met with varying perceptions that may have both negative and positive effects on the willingness to uptake the COVID-19 vaccine. The study is set to determine the perception and willingness of the household heads to the uptake of COVID-19 vaccine in a rural community in Southwestern, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 409 household heads selected through a multistage sampling technique. The instrument of data collection was a semi-structured interviewer-administered questionnaire using the Health Belief model constructs. Data were analyzed with IBM SPSS version 21.0 and Pearson's Chi-square test was used to determine the association between perception and willingness to uptake vaccine. P<0.05 was taken as significant at 95% confidence interval. Results: The majority of the unvaccinated respondents in the study were not willing to take the COVID-19 vaccine (60.1%). There was a poor perception of the susceptibility/severity of unvaccinated respondents to COVID-19 infection and a poor perception of the benefit/barrier to the uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine. Perception of susceptibility and severity of COVID-19 infection were statistically related to the willingness to uptake the COVID-19 vaccine. Conclusion: There should be an increase in awareness campaigns to change the perception of people positively to COVID-19 infection and uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The descriptive review, from recurrent respiratory papillomatosis of the disease, an enigmatic / A revisão descritiva da papilomatose respiratória recorrente da doença, um enigmático

INTRODUCTION: The recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), which is caused by the human papilomavirus type 6 and 11, is the most common benign neoplasm in the larynx among infants and the second more frequent cause of the hoarseness in childhood. Is a enigmatic disease that can be devastating for those whom are affected. Is way misunderstood, and the investigation is still on matter. OBJECTIVE: This review had as objective provide a global vision and an update of what is recognized about the RRP and that is ahead of interns therapies. This surgical and adjuvant was performed through the research of database PubMed, MEDLINE, Cumulative index to nursing and health, Allied Literature and Cochrane. Eletronic library sought to use the headers of the subject "Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis", "Juvenile Laryngeal Papillomatosis", "Respiratory Papillomatosis", "Pediatric Laryngeal Obstruction" and "Airway Management". The obtained results were analyzed of relevance for the theme. DISCUSSION: The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a little DNA virus that contain. The recurrent respiratory papillomatosis can affect people of any age, with the younger patient identified in a day of age and the oldest with 84 years. The most common presentation is the supporter of the RRP, it is the hoarseness. The therapy has been repetitive and debulking. The objective is to erradicate the disease, without damaging the normal structures. None modality has proven effective in the eradication of RRP. CONCLUSION: Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis is a frustrating disease, capricious with the potential of the morbid consequences by the cause of involvement of the airway and the risks of malignant degeneration.

INTRODUÇÃO: A papilomatose respiratória recorrente (PRR), que é causado pelo papilomavírus humano tipos 6 e 11, é a neoplasia benigna mais comum da laringe entre as crianças ea segunda causa mais frequente de rouquidão na infância. É uma doença enigmática que pode ser devastadora para aqueles a quem ela afeta. É muito mal compreendido, e investigação continua na ativa assunto. OBJETIVO: Esta revisão teve por objectivo proporcionar uma visão global e uma atualização do que é conhecido sobre RRP e que está à frente de interms therapies.This cirúrgica e adjuvante foi realizada através de pesquisa das bases de dados PubMed, MEDLINE, Index cumulativa de Enfermagem e Saúde Allied Literatura e Cochrane biblioteca electrónica procurou usar os cabeçalhos de assunto ''papilomatose respiratória recorrente'', ''papilomatose laríngea juvenil'', ''papilomatose respiratória'', ''obstrução laríngea pediátrica'' e ''gestão das vias aéreas''. Os resultados obtidos foram analisados de relevância para o tema. DISCUSSÃO: O papilomavírus humano (HPV) é um pequeno vírus de DNA que contêm. A papilomatose respiratória recorrente pode afetar pessoas de qualquer idade, com o paciente mais jovem identificado em um dia de idade eo mais velho de 84 anos. A apresentação mais comum é o sustentáculo da PRR é hoarseness. The de terapia tem sido repetida debulking. O objetivo é erradicar a doença, sem danificar as estruturas normais. Nenhum única modalidade tem mostrado ser eficaz na erradicação da PRR. CONCLUSÃO: Papilomatose respiratória recorrente é uma doença frustrante caprichoso com o potencial para consequências mórbidas por causa de seu envolvimento das vias aéreas eo risco de degeneração maligna.

Rhinometry: spectrum of nasal profile among Nigerian Africans.

UNLABELLED: Nasal parameters measurements are useful in anthropology to distinguish people into racial and ethnic groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional survey among Nigerians aged 18 to 70 years of Nigerian parentage randomly selected at the ENT Clinic of the University of Ilorin teaching hospital (U.I.T.H.), Ilorin, Nigeria without gender discrimination had measurement of their nasal parameters done using a sliding caliper: Nasal height, width, tip protrusion, alar thickness, nasal septal thickness and nares diameter. RESULTS: 105 subjects were seen, the age range 18 to 70 years (mean of 28.63 + 13.06 years). There were 58 males and 47 females with a male/female ratio of 1.2:1. The mean nasal width/height (Nasal index -NI) was 90.7 in males and 88.2 in females. Males had a higher NI compared to female (p < 0.03). The commonest type of nasal variability is Type A (70.5%), Platyrrhine nose, Type B (26.7%) especially in females (mesorrhine) and Type C (leptorrhine) (2.8%). CONCLUSIONS: There is significant association between the sex of an individual and type of Nose. Platyrrhine nose, among males and mesorrhine among females, only 2.8% being leptorrhine. The nasal indices were higher in males than in females.

As medidas de parâmetros nasais são úteis em antropologia para distinguir pessoas em grupos étnicos e raciais. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Pesquisa transversal entre nigerianos com idades entre 18 e 70 anos, filhos de pais nigerianos, aleatoriamente selecionados na clínica de otorrinolaringologia do Hospital Universitário de Ilorin (U.I.T.H.), Ilorin, Nigéria; sem discriminação de gênero, tiveram seus parâmetros nasais medidos usando-se um compasso deslizante: altura nasal, largura, protrusão da ponta, espessura alar, espessura do septo nasal e diâmetro das narinas. RESULTADOS: 105 indivíduos foram avaliados, e suas idades variaram entre 18 e 70 anos (média de 28,63 + 13,06 anos). Havia 58 homens e 47 mulheres, com coeficiente entre homens de mulheres de: 1.2:1. A medida largura/ altura nasal média (Índice nasal - IN) foi de 90,7 em homens e 88,2 em mulheres. Os homens tiveram IN mais alto quando comparados às mulheres (p < 0,03). O tipo mais comum de variabilidade nasal foi o Tipo A (70,5 por cento), Platirrinia, Tipo B (26,7 por cento), especialmente em mulheres, (mosorrinia) e o Tipo C (leptorrinia) (2,8 por cento). CONCLUSÕES: Há associação significativa entre o gênero do indivíduo e seu tipo nasal. A platirrinia, entre homens, e a mosorrinia, entre mulheres; somente 2,8 por cento sendo leptorrinia. Os índices nasais foram mais altos em homens do que em mulheres.
