Maturity is a complex and multifaceted process shaped by brain development and external environmental influences. The paper aims to bridge gaps in understanding maturity by integrating perspectives from multiple disciplines through philosophical exploration. It introduces the Ogunlade Maturity Triangle, a conceptual model that draws upon the Pythag...

Maturology, an emerging interdisciplinary field, is underpinned by the seven elements of its symbol, an innovative metaphorical framework for describing human maturity. This symbol synthesizes multiple dimensions of human existence, growth, and development, offering a comprehensive perspective on the maturation process through interconnected compon...

Medical percussion is a free, low-risk procedure used by physicians during physical examination of patients. Although it is very useful procedure, a downside to manual percussion is that its results are subjective, with typically low inter-observer agreement. Not much work has been done, however, to create automated and reliable percussion devices...

Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a measure of atherosclerotic vascular disease and considered a comprehensive picture of all alterations caused by multiple cardiovascular risk factors over time on the arterial walls. We...

Introduction: The ABO blood group system is unique in immunology and haematology because it is the only system in which antibodies are consistently and predictably present in the serum of normal individuals whose red cells lack the antigens. Several epidemiological studies have reported that the Original Research Article Asafa et al.; IBRR, 9(2): 1...

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are top killers with heart failure as one of the most leading cause of death in both developed and developing countries.

Sudden cardiac death is an unexpected natural event so devastating to the society. In most cases, post-mortem examination, the hallmark of accurate diagnosis is not carried out to ascertain the cause of the deaths. As such, the diagnosis of sudden cardiac death in Nigeria is not commonly made in the general population. Hence, data on the incidence...

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events. Many methods are used to assess it but the reference standard is echocardiography. However, this facility is available only in a few hospital centres. A set of criteria based on voltage threshold as assessed by electrocardiogram, a more readily available and...

Background: Assessment of JVP is an important aspect of cardiovascular system examination.JVP measurement at bedside is desirable but often neglected due to lack of necessary tool for its assessment.The traditional 'two-ruler' method for non-invasive measurement of JVP is uneasy especially for junior doctors and medical students.Jugulometer is a ne...
