It also identified co-existing intestinal parasites. A total of 900 participants from Nasarawa, Doma, and Akwanga LGAs were sampled. Urine and stool specimens were examined using standard filtration and Kato-Katz techniques. The overall prevalence of schistosomiasis was 11.3%, with S. haematobium (9.3%) more prevalent than S. mansoni (2.0%). Males had a significantly higher infection rate (16.7%) compared to females (5.4%), and the highest prevalence was recorded among children aged 10–14 years (16.5%). Other intestinal parasites identified included Entamoeba coli, Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia intestinalis, hookworms, Ascaris lumbricoides, and Trichuris trichiura. These findings confirm that schistosomiasis and other parasitic infections remain significant public health issues in Nasarawa State, stressing the need for integrated and targeted control strategies.</p> Rabiu Suleiman Amuga Aduk Gideon Yako Andrew Bmibmitawuza Copyright (c) 2025 Rabiu Suleiman, Amuga Aduk Gideon, Yako Andrew Bmibmitawuza https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 2025-07-12 2025-07-12 5 2 1 11 10.55529/jpdmhd.52.1.11 https://hmjournals.com/ijaap/index.php/JPDMHD/article/view/5912 <p>Supracondylar fractures of the humerus are common among children and can be managed using various treatment methods depending on fracture type. A prospective cross-sectional observational study was conducted over six months at a selected medical hospital. Patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled. Data were collected using a pretested semi-structured questionnaire after obtaining informed consent from legal guardians. Confidentiality was maintained, and participants could withdraw at any time. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0. The study included patients aged 4–12 years, with a mean (± SD) age of 7.6 ± 2.2 years. Most patients were male (31, 73.8%), and fractures were primarily caused by falls (27, 64.3%). A significant proportion (30, 71.4%) attended the hospital on the day of injury. Most fractures were non-rotational (34, 81%) and managed with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (37, 88.1%). The majority of patients (31, 73.8%) achieved excellent functional outcomes. Overall, supracondylar fractures are common in male Muslim children, usually resulting from falls and less frequently from RTA. Most cases are non-rotational and successfully treated with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning, while a few require open reduction. Physiotherapy is often unnecessary, and outcomes are generally excellent.</p> Dr. Md. Asadullah Ripon Dr. Md.
