    Cervical Cancer: A Review on Young Women
    (Eurasian Experiment Journal of Biological Sciences, 2023) Emmanuel Ifeanyi Obeagu; Carine Byukusenge; Getrude Uzoma Obeagu
    Cervical cancer among young women refers to the occurrence of cervical cancer in individuals who are in their younger age groups, typically ranging from late teenage years to their 20s or early 30s. While cervical cancer is more commonly diagnosed in older women, it can still affect young women, albeit at a lower frequency. Cervical cancer is a significant concern among young women, although it is more commonly diagnosed in older age groups. While the overall risk is relatively low, several important factors should be considered. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, primarily transmitted through sexual activity, is the primary risk factor. Engaging in sexual activity at an early age or having multiple sexual partners can increase the risk. Regular cervical cancer screening, such as Pap smears and HPV testing, is vital for early detection and intervention. Vaccination against HPV is highly recommended for young women to prevent infection and reduce the risk of cervical cancer. Promoting awareness, education, and safe sexual practices are crucial to prevention. Overall, young women should prioritize their sexual health, receive appropriate vaccinations and screenings, and seek medical advice for any concerns or symptoms to ensure early detection and effective management of cervical cancer.

    Eclampsia: A Review on Risk Factors, Management and Outcome
    (Newport International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences (NIJRMS), 2023) Emmanuel Ifeanyi Obeagu; Stella Malot; Getrude Uzoma Obeagu; Carine Byukusenge
    Eclampsia is when a person with preeclampsia develops seizures (convulsions) during pregnancy. Eclampsia remains a major cause of maternal mortality, particularly in teenage pregnancies. The prevalence of eclampsia globally is reported to be 0.3% but data from individual countries suggest that prevalence and mortality risk vary depending on region and socio-economic status. Family history of Hypertension, preeclampsia, low serum quantity of Calcium and Magnesium, are also risk factors.
