Hence, there has been increased interest to better understand the processes of how ICT diffusion is informing business practices and influencing performance in organizatio...

Insertion/deletion polymorphisms (InDels) are ubiquitous diallelic genetic markers that have drawn increasing attention from forensic researchers. Here, we investigated 30 InDel loci in Vietnamese and Nigerian populations and evaluated their usefulness in forensic genetics. The polymorphic information content of these populations ranged, respectively, from 0.164 to 0.375 and from 0.090 to 0.375...

BACKGROUND Baseline information on physical activity is relevant to controlling the epidemic of chronic noncommunicable diseases occurring in many African countries.

OBJECTIVE According to our previous studies, propolis of Nigerian origin showed some evidence of hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activities in addition to its ability to ameliorate oxidative-stress-induced organ dysfunction. This study was carried out to determine whether an ethanolic extract of Nigerian propolis (EENP) improves glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose, very low-d...

OBJECTIVE Despite the endemicity of hepatitis A virus (HAV) in Nigeria, genetic information on the HAV genotypes/subgenotypes circulating in the country remains unknown. The objective of this study was to investigate HAV strains using molecular epidemiological and genetic analyses among apparently healthy adult Nigerian subjects. METHODS Testing for HAV-RNA was performed on 114 serum samples ...

BACKGROUND In Nigeria, several challenges have been reported within the health sector, especially in training, funding, employment, and deployment of the health workforce.
