It is only of recent that attempts are being made to know the profile of cancers seen in clinical practice in our environment. This study was done to establish the pattern of upper gastrointestinal cancers at Kano, North-Western Nigeria. Records of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy carried out at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital over a period of 5 years (2002- 2006) were retrieved from the endoscopy register and reviewed. Demographic information and finding at endoscopy were retrieved for all cases of endoscopically diagnosed cancers. Histological findings of all such cases were also retrieved from Histopathology records. Over the five year study period, 1343 patients had diagnostic oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD). The mean age of all patients endoscoped was 38.24 + 13.96 years. There were 592 females (44.1%) and 751 males (55.9%). Thirty two (32) of the 1343 patients endoscoped had upper gastrointestinal tract cancer, hence giving a prevalence of 0.024%. Gastric cancer was found in 19 of the 32 cancer cases, while the remaining 13 had oesophageal cancer. The mean age of patients with gastric cancer was 51.3 + 14.2 years (range 30 to 85), while that of oesophageal cancer was 56.8 + 14.96 years (range 47 to 83). There were significantly more male patients with gastric cancer; 16 (84.2%) than females; 3 (15.8%), P 0.05. Most gastric cancers were located in the antrum while oesophageal cancers were more in the middle third. Intestinal type adenocarcinoma (89.4%) and squamous cell carcinoma (69.2%) predominated histology in gastric cancer and oesophageal cancer respectively. Helicobacter pylori were present in 94.7 % of gastric cancer cases. Upper gastrointestinal tract cancers are probably not very prevalent in North-Western Nigeria. However, gastric cancer appears to occur at relatively young age groups. Therefore younger patients with dyspepsia who responds poorly to empiric therapy should be endoscoped early.

Data on the prevalence of Low Back Pain (LBP) on commercial motorcyclists is unknown. This study examined the prevalence of LBP among commercial motorcyclists in urban Kano, northwest, Nigeria. We interviewed 600 commercial motorcyclists using self structured questionnaire. Information retrieved from respondents was on personal data and work related information on LBP. Percentages and frequencies were used to summarize the data obtained. Out of the 600 commercial motorcyclists interviewed about 36% reported LBP. The result indicated that age, duration in years of practice as a commercial motorcyclists and duration in hours/day spent riding are all attributable to frequency of LBP among respondents. Our finding shows that duration in years as motorcyclists, duration in hours/day and age commercial motorcyclists are typical factors influencing the frequency of LBP among commercial motorcyclists. We therefore, advocate further studies to investigate how these factors individually and collectively predispose to LBP.

Recent public awareness on common female cancer such as breast, cervix, liver etc has shown an upsurge of cancer in women. This study aims to describe common cancers in Nigerian women and highlight strategy for cancer prevention. All records of histologically confirmed cancers were analyzed from the cancer registry in the department of Pathology, Jos University Teaching Hospital, between the periods of 1985 and 2004 (20 years). The cost of screening common cancer in women was also noted. There were a total of 5606 cases of confirmed cancers. Out of these numbers 3503 (62.5%) accounted for cancers in women. The average peak age prevalence was in 5th and 6th decades. The common cancers were breast, cervix, liver, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and colorectal cancers. Breast and cervical cancers accounted for 74% of all female malignancies. The cost of screening for breast and cervical cancer was $150 each. In a country like Nigeria with per capita income of less than $1 per day, most patients could not afford the cost. Preventive measures directed at these two most common female cancers could significantly reduce cancer morbidity and mortality.
