Traditional Medicine in Contextual African Society: On-Going Challenges: (OAJOM)-Lupine Publishers

Traditional Medicine in Contextual African Society: On-Going Challenges by Kingsley Akarowhe in  Open Access Journal of Oncology and Medicine in Lupine Publishers

The role of traditional medicine in contextual African society cannot be overemphasized. Due to the less financial implication on the part of patients(s) patronizing the medicine to treat a particular ailment. In recent time, attention by government and relevant stakeholders in the health sectors in African tend to shift their compendium effort to improve modern health medicine, this has yielded little effort. In light of this a greater percentage of African population still resorts to traditional medicine due to the less financial implication and accessibility. Over the years, traditional African medicine seems to face some ongoing challenges. It is due to these recurring mitigating challenges that this paper intend to explore and map-out modalities to surmount the challenges. The challenges farfetched by the researcher were lack of usage of information communication technology (ICT), lack of adequate funding, lack of sufficient awareness, religion/cultural interference, unethical practices, deforestation of plant medicine. Similarly, way forwards out the challenges were map-out. It was concluded that, the possible solutions as pointed-out by the researcher if given prior attention will help to remedy the bedeviling challenges facing traditional medicine.

Percutaneous nephrostomy in the management of malignant ureteral obstruction: an alternative using central venous catheter and “zero irradiation”: (OAJOM)-Lupine Publishers

Percutaneous nephrostomy in the management of malignant ureteral obstruction: an alternative using central venous catheter and “zero irradiation” by Juan C Astigueta in Open Access Journal of Oncology and Medicine (OAJOM) in Lupine Publishers

Introduction and Objective: Percutaneous Nephrostomy (NP) is a procedure that involves the placement of a drainage catheter in the renal pelvis by puncture through the skin guided by an imaging method. The objective of the work is to present our experience in PN with ultrasound guidance (zero irradiation) in patients with ureteral obstruction secondary to oncological pathologies, showing the step-by-step technique and the usefulness of the 7 French central venous catheter set (CVC-7F).


Cancer and Advantages of Immunosuppression: (OAJOM)-Lupine publishers


As oncologists learn to target the immune response to “self and non-self,” a delicate therapy balance will eventually be achieved with predictable outcomes, benefits, and toxicity in the fightThe study of how the immune system recognizes friend and foe, or as the immunologist Sir Macfarlane Burnet phrased it, “distinguishes between self and non-self,” has driven important discoveries that are transforming our ability to treat cancer.
