Housing across the world has remained an indispensable phenomenon that affects every facet of humans. Its relevance is so evident that it imparts on man’s socio-physical and mental welfare irrespective of his socio-economic status, colour or creed. The correct socio-economic position is linked to people seeking inexpensive and decent housing. This study assessed the socio-economic characteristics of households and their housing condition in the Bauchi metropolis. The study adopted a quantitative approach where 380 questionnaires were administered to house hold-heads in this study. The households were sampled through stratified random sampling to generate data on their socio-economic characteristics, housing conditions, existing facilities and amenities, physical and environmental characteristics. The data collected were subjected to descriptive statistics with mean ranking and ordinal regression to examine the significance of the various variables. The findings of the study revealed that socio-economic characteristics affect housing conditions in the study area. The study also revealed that compared with the medium and high-density areas where the housing situation and all basic infrastructures are fair and foul, the low-density area had its housing condition with all basic infrastructures in good condition. It was recommended that the government provide adequate social facilities as a matter of urgency, renovate the declining ones, and implement development control standards in the medium and high-density areas. Furthermore, individuals should incorporate a good maintenance culture for their property to improve housing and environmental characteristics.

This study looked at the impact of a resident’s physical attributes on housing satisfaction in Ilorin to figure out how to uncover the significant relationship in Ilorin. The research took a quantitative method. A questionnaire was designed and distributed to 126 household heads, with 94 responses. Households were polled using systematic random sampling to collect information on socio-economic variables and housing satisfaction. To analyze the effect of variables, the data were subjected to descriptive statistics and linear regression using SPSS. The study found that physical factors have a substantial impact on home satisfaction in the studied area. The study discovered that toilet facilities, rendered and painted walls, tiles, a well-equipped kitchen, no finishing wall, electricity and generator as an alternative means of lighting a kitchen without modern facilities, concrete, and a pit toilet are all factors that influence residents’ satisfaction. It was also discovered that the most excellent mean score was for bathroom facilities, rendered and painted walls, and tiles. It was suggested that the government make the missing social amenities available and rehabilitate the deteriorating ones as urgent. To improve resident satisfaction in the study region, proper routine management of social amenities should be done.

✓ Case histories of 61 patients receiving multimodality therapy for primary malignant brain tumors were reviewed for factors visible on the computerized tomography (CT) scan that correlated with the interval of time from diagnosis and pretherapy evaluation to the time of documented tumor progression. The initial pretreatment CT scan of each patient was reviewed. Midline shift, peritumor low density (edema), the greatest diameter of tumor enhancement, and the greatest diameter of the intratumor low-density area were measured prior to radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Using a Weibull survival probability model, time to tumor progression was most satisfactorily fitted using two covariates, the volume of enhancing tumor (for instance, contrast-enhancing tumor less intratumor low density), and the presence of a peritumor low-density area. Patients who exhibited a small amount of contrast-enhancing tumor with peritumor low density tended to have a longer time to progression than patients with large contrast-enhancing tumor volume and no peritumor low density. Midline shift was not as important a variable as the extent of tumor contrast enhancement or peritumor low density.
