However not much has been studied about university lecturers.Aim: To obtain the prevalence and determine predictors of burnout and job satisfaction among lecturers in public universities in Enugu State, Nigeria.Methods: It was a cross sectional analytical study. The participants were academic staff from University of Nigeria Nsukka and Enugu State University of Technology who met inclusion criteria. They were selected using multistage sampling technique. Data were collected using Oldenberg Burnout Inventory for burnout and Job Descriptive Index for job satisfaction.Results: A total of 392 lecturers were studied: The males were 221 (56.3%), and the modal age group was 41-50 years: 152 (38.8%). The majority were married 303 (77.3%) and had worked for ≤10 years (65.8%). The prevalence of burnout was 57.7%. In general, 150 (38.3%) had a high level of job satisfaction. However, in most facets, < 50% were satisfied. Most socio-demographic variables were not associated with either burnout or job satisfaction. There is significant association between burnout and job satisfaction. Almost all 205 (90.7%) who had burnout had low job satisfaction and this was statistically significant (p value = 0.011). Present work condition, pay, opportunities, supervision were used as predictors to level of burnout. Present condition of work was a significant contributor (p = < 0.001).Conclusion: The prevalence of burnout was high and many had low to moderate job satisfaction.

Patients using ultrasound and injection pressure manometer were divided as Group USP, and those using ultrasound, injection pressure manometer, and neurostimulator were divided as Group USPN. After block was applied, sensory and motor block levels were measured on a numeric scale. The block was considered successful when the desired score was reached or general anesthesia was not required intraoperatively.

The shaft of his tracheostomy tube (TT) was fractured and subsequently aspirated while he was attempting to remove and clean the inner tube that morning. He has used the TT for about 6 years and lost to follow-up clinic visits. The chest radiograph showed the metallic foreign body lodged within the trachea. He had an emergency rigid bronchoscopy via the tracheostomy stoma, and the object was retrieved. All respiratory symptoms subsequently resolved, and a check radiograph showed normal findings.Conclusion: Tracheostomy tube fracture and aspiration should be ruled out in every tracheostomized patient with sudden onset acute respiratory symptoms.

The CD group was divided into adherent (n = 31) and nonadherent (n = 24) to GFD. Participants underwent tympanometry and pure tone audiometry assessments covering frequencies from 500 to 4000 Hz.Results: Patients with CD showed significantly higher air and bone conduction hearing averages compared to the control group at frequencies of 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz for air conduction, and at 500 Hz for bone conduction (P < 0.05). Celiac patients, those who fully adhered to GFD, had notably higher air conduction hearing averages at 500, 2000, and 4000 Hz compared to healthy controls (P < 0.05). However, there was no difference in bone conduction hearing averages between the two groups. In contrast, celiac patients who did not comply with GFD had statistically significantly higher air and bone conduction hearing averages than the control group (P < 0.05), at frequencies of 500, 1000, and 4000 Hz for air conduction, and at 500 and 1000 Hz for bone conduction (P < 0.05).Conclusions: The study suggests that nonadherence to GFD may elevate the risk of hearing loss in children with CD.

The cephalic index (CI) refers to the ratio of width to length in any skull.Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the frequency and types of OS. It also aimed to determine the mean CI and the distribution of skull types using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). And to determine if there was a relationship between the cephalic index and the presence and types of OS.Methods: CBCT scans from 523 patients were included in the study. OSs were classified as type 1 (flat), type 2 (crest), and type 3 (spine). Skull length and width were measured on axial sections and the CI was calculated. Based on the cephalic index (CI), skull types were classified as dolichocephalic (CI < 75), mesocephalic (75 < CI < 80), brachycephalic (80 < CI < 85), and hyperbrachycephalic (CI > 85).Results: The most common cranial types in the study group were brachycephalic (44.7%), mesocephalic (28.3%), hyperbrachycephalic (21.2%), and dolichocephalic (5.7%).
