The periosteum is a composite tissue comprising an outer protective fibrovascular layer and an inner cambium regenerative pluripotent layer. The regenerative function of periosteum has been put to clinical use by dental surgeons to manage alveolar ridge reduction and by tissue engineers to produce autologous micrograft and collagen used to manage complex wounds and scars. The essence of this study is to add to the body of knowledge on clinical use of periosteum to treat bone defects from the orthopaedic perspective. We highlight a case series to demonstrate the use of periosteum in managing bone defects caused by benign bone tumour, chronic osteomyelitis, tibial hemimelia and traumatic bone loss of the distal tibia in Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Oghara. Treatment of bone defects by this means is cost effective and the outcome is very satisfactory. Key words:  Periosteum, mesenchymal stem cells, bone defects, distraction histiogenesis.

AbstractRadiofrequency ablation (RFA) is one of the first developed minimally invasive definitive cancer therapies. The safety and efficacy of RFA is well documented and has led to its incorporation into multiple international societal guidelines. By expanding on the body of knowledge acquired during the clinical use of RFA, alternative ablative technologies have emerged and are successfully competing for locoregional therapy market share. The adaption of newer ablative technologies is leading to a rapid decline in the utilization of RFA by interventional radiologists despite the lack of proven superiority. In their 2010 article, Hong and Georgiades stated “… RFA is likely to remain the mainstay of ablations for small tumors until sufficient experience emerges for the widespread acceptance for alternative ablative modalities.” Within a decade of this publication, has this time arrived?

The digital age together with the political and economic agenda to make higher education more accessible and cost effective are challenging teaching academics worldwide to rethink and redesign their pedagogical practices. The challenges include how to respond to increasingly diverse twenty first century learners who demand flexibility, and the requirements of a more service driven economy. For a program to be successful in higher education's current learnscape, teaching and learning need to optimise students' experiences and learning outcomes. The exploratory study discussed in this chapter investigates seventy-three postgraduate students' experiences with blended learning in guidance and counselling programs in one Australian university with an offshore branch campus in Singapore. The study aims to inform the future design and delivery of teaching and learning within blended learning spaces with a focus on pedagogical practices for student engagement. As such, it contributes to the body of knowledge about learning design that enhances student learning experiences.

Background: Interferential therapy (IFT) is the application of two medium frequency currents to the skin to stimulate and activate different systems in the body using specific frequencies and frequency ranges. IFT aims to reduce myalgia in the chest and upper back, reduce muscular fatigue and induce mucus expectoration. This study is designed to test the efficacy of IFT on asthma patients recently exposed to SARS-CoV-2 virus. Methods: Twenty-eight (28) patients aged 18 and above with bronchial Asthma attending the respiratory clinic at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja (LASUTH) will be assessed for the study eligibility. The study design will be a double-blinded, randomized control trial with two intervention groups and two parallel placebo control groups. IFT will be administered as an intervention to asthma patients with and without a history of COVID-19 exposure for 20 minutes. Six continuous outcome variables at different points will be utilized as an outcome measure. Selected Baseline Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) and Cardiopulmonary Variables (CVS) will be assessed on entry into the study, Quality of life and asthma control will be evaluated every two (2) weeks of the study. Data obtained will be analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics of repeated ANOVA; P<0.05. Discussion: The study outcome will compare the efficacy of IFT on Bronchial Asthma patients with Post COVID-19 exposure, identify the relationship between the Intervention on Asthma patients with or without COVID-19 exposure.

Freight Forwarding

Freight forwarding is the movement of all intermodal commodities on behalf of shippers. Although the freight forwarding industry's contribution to a country's national output may not be as competitive as other sectors, the role that this industry plays in supporting an economy's activity cannot be underestimated. Furthermore, the stiff competition in the freight forwarding industry requires companies to continue to excel to survive and compete with the competitors. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to assess current literature and practices in the freight forwarding industry regarding tracking practices. Furthermore, it is expected that the documentation, freight readiness, route and technology capabilities will serve as a foundation for more effective operations and practices in Malaysia, ensuring the freight forwarding industry's sustainability. The study contributes to the body of knowledge on freight forwarding performance and can assist managers in reacting appropriately to create cost-effective logistic solutions.

Cancer is a collection of diseases which involves the abnormal growth of cells with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. The aim of this study is to access the antioxidant status of women with female predominant cancer (breast, cervical and ovarian) in relationship with their menopausal stages. Blood samples were collected from 180 freshly diagnosed female patients of breast, cervical and ovarian cancer at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Idi- Araba, Mushin, Lagos and Lagos State University Teaching Hospital Ikeja, Lagos and 60 relatively healthy subjects at different menopausal stages. Serum catalase (CAT), Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activites, Reduced Glutathione (GSH), Vitamin C and E concentrations were evaluated in subject’s blood sample using standard established methods. The results obtained were subjected to statistical analysis (p<0.05). However, the results of the female cancer patients at each menopausal stage were compared to premenopausal, menopausal and postmenopausal control groups, while the results obtained from the menopausal and postmenopausal control subjects were compared to the premenopausal control subjects. There was significant decrease (p<0.05) in the activities of CAT, SOD and in the concentrations of GSH, Vitamins C and E in all the menopausal stages when compared to the control groups. However, MDA concentrations showed significant increase (p<0.05) in all the menopausal stages in comparison to the corresponding control groups. These findings suggest that cancer patients might be at risk from oxidative cell damage. Therefore, further research is required in this field with a view of improving the management of cancers predominant in females.
