Breastfeeding Awareness among the Females.
First 1000 days of life are to create human resource intelligent, healthy and productive.

Sexual Dysfunction among Psychiatric Patients on Antipsychotic Medications.
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between use of antipsychotics and the occurrence of sexual dysfunction and hyperprolactinemia among patients. From a sample of 70 patients (43 males and 27 females) taking antipsychotics for at least 3 months and an equal number of psychotropic naïve controls matched for sex and age (±5 years), demographic, clinical, and medication information were collected. Sexual function was assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function and Female Sexual Function Index among male and female respondents, respectively. Serum prolactin level was also assayed. The mean daily dose of antipsychotics was 303.81 mg; mean prolactin level was 24.50 ng/ml and 12.66 ng/ml among the subjects and controls, respectively. The prevalence of hyperprolactinemia was 38.6% among the subjects and 1.4% among the controls (χ2 = 0.637, df = 1, p = 0.000). The prevalence of sexual dysfunction was higher among the subjects (67.2%) than the controls (40%) (χ2 = 0.173, df = 1, p = 0.796). The presence of hyperprolactinemia (χ2 = 12.904, df = 1, p = 0.000), use of antipsychotic combination (χ2 = 6.656, df = 1, p = 0.013), and daily dose of antipsychotics (t= -3.986, df = 65.229, p = 0.000) were found to be significantly associated with sexual dysfunction. Hyperprolactinemia was the strongest predictor of sexual dysfunction (Wald = 6.30, df = 1, OR = 1.131, 95% CI = 1.027 to 1.245, p = 0.016). Sexual dysfunction and hyperprolactinemia were more prevalent among subjects than controls. These findings should guide psychiatrists in antipsychotics prescription.

A good review of the Pattern of Hematological Malignancies in a Tertiary Hospital.
Hematological malignancies are clonal diseases of blood, with leukemia and lymphoma seen as the commonest. Hematological malignancies are caused majorly by genetic disorders or mutations occurring in somatic cells which may be caused by environmental agents such as viral agents, chemicals, and ionizing agents. They are also associated with immunodeficiency states, viral, and bacterial infections. This study is aimed at determining the pattern of hematological malignancies in a tertiary hospital in Ondo State, Nigeria, and compares findings of this research with those reported in other parts of the world. The retrospective study was carried out from 2012 to 2020 at the University of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital (former Kidney care center), Trauma center, and State specialist hospital, Akure, Ondo State. Patient’s case notes, bone marrow aspiration results, and histopathology results were materials used for this study. Analysis was done using SPSS version 21. Chi-square analysis was done to determine significant association of the disease with age and sex. A total of 60 cases of hematological malignancies were seen during the 8-year review. Females were more affected than males, and patients over 45 years were most affected. The most common presenting feature was anemia (98.3%). Leukemia was the most common hematological malignancy seen in the study with CML being the most common of all (28.3%). About 58.3% of the patients were married, while 48.3% were unemployed. The present study has shown an increase in the prevalence rate of leukemia cases among the hematological malignancies seen in the State. This could be traced to various factors such as age, sex, and environment. Early diagnosis should be done for effective management, and financial support should be provided by the government.

The Effect of Infertility From Some Biochemical Parameters in Eugenol and Ocimum sanctum Linn. Leaf ... Extract on Female Albino Rats.
The aim of the present study is to investigate infertility activities in albino female rats, Eugenol and Ocimum sanctum Linn. effects of leaf extracts on some biochemical parameters in ovary and uterus. Healthy female albino rats are provided with EUG (99% pure) with a dose of 0.4 ml/ day/ rat and O. sanctum Linn. leaf extract with a dose of 500 mg/kg body weight/day/rat orally for 15 days. Data revealed that oral administration of Eugenol and Ocimum sanctum also gets an anti-fertility effect in ovary and uterus. On day 15, all the animals were sacrificed and biochemical parameters were estimated. The results suggest that it is known that the provision of estrogen has an uterotropic effect on female rat. The uterine physiology and pathological conditions of infertility, endometrial cancer, and polycystic ovarian syndrome.
