Understanding their structure and function in the pathogenesis of stroke and in interventional neuroradiology due to luminal stenosis, atherosclerosis and wall stiffness is paramount. Doppler ultrasound scan plays key role in the early diagnosis of the pathologies of the arteries as it is an affordable, accessible, reliable and non-invasive clinical tool. Knowing normal average diameter of the carotid arteries among healthy individuals is important in making correct clinical diagnosis in any population. The aim of the study was to determine mean diameters of the carotid arteries among healthy adult Nigerians for reference. MATERIALS AND METHODS Prospectively studied 104 healthy Nigerians within the ages of 18 and 65 years by taking doppler scans of their carotid arteries (common, internal and external) on both sides and measured each diameter. Using a 95% confident level, P-value of ...

Good leadership is vital in maximising the effective management of patients in a clinical setting. While a good number of studies, though with small sample surveys, have researched the role of leadership in clinical setting quantitatively, qualitative investigations are yet to be done in Nigeria. This study aims to explore the attitudes, skills, and experience of ECDs in Nigeria on issues pertaining to leadership in a medical setting, using a mixed-method approach. (2) Methods: we conducted two sessions of key informant focus group discussion (FGD) that involved 14 ECD leaders in Nigeria, exploring their leadership experience in a clinical setting. Furthermore, we used a self-administered questionnaire to quantitatively survey 474 ECDs from seven Nigerian teaching hospitals to explore their attitudes, skills, and experience on issues pertaining to medical leadership. (3) Results: taking on leadership roles is a common phenomenon (52.7%) among the surveyed ECDs; however, the medical leadership position can be very challenging for ECDs in Nigeria. Despite the fact that many (91.1%) of the surveyed ECDs perceived leadership skills as essential skills needed by a doctr, many (44.1%) of them were yet to be formally trained on medical leadership. About three out of every 10 (23.6%) of surveyed ECDs that have ever held leadership positions in a medical setting experienced major leadership challenges while in such office due to their lack of training on leadership skills. Leadership skill acquisition programmes are highly recommended to become an integral part of medical training programmes in Nigeria. (4) Conclusion: there is a need for a structured leadership skill acquisition programme for ECDs in Nigeria. This programme will help in the robust delivery of highly effective healthcare services in Nigeria, as effective leadership is crucial to patient care services.

Sliding hernias are rare occurrences in our environment and are often associated with long standing history of herniation, widened internal ring, recorded only in female children and adult males. The aim is to report a rare occurrence of a sliding indirect inguinal hernia in an adult female.

directly and serves as a major vessel of interest to neurosurgeons, while the external carotid branch mainly supplies
structures in the neck, scalp and face.
Whereas, diseases like atherosclerosis and aneurysm of the extracranial or intracranial parts respectively appear to
affect the wall, they also have significant effect on luminal diameter and subsequent blood flow to the end organs like
the brain.
The aim of this review is to remind us of the importance of the anatomical knowledge of the vessel in clinical practice.
Articles from google data base and standard texts of recent publication were reviewed. The physicians and surgeons
managing patients with related conditions of the carotid artery and its branches will benefit from this review.
