Radiological assessment of traumatic bone injuries secondary to motorcycle accidents in Ghana: a multi-center cross-sectional study

Philip Narteh Gorleku, Frank Quarshie, Manasseh Nuer, et al. · African Journal of Emergency Medicine

Klintaps researchers reviewed the X-ray reports of 1,736 people injured in motorcycle accidents across several Ghanaian centres between 2020 and 2023. Leg and thigh bones were broken most often, passengers were hurt worse than riders, and the number of cases rose every year, adding pressure on emergency departments.

Sonographic diagnostic accuracy and imaging patterns of testicular torsion in a quaternary facility in Ghana: a five-year retrospective study

Philip Narteh Gorleku, Frank Quarshie, Samuella Nyarkoaa Gyasi, et al. · BMC Medical Imaging

Testicular torsion is an emergency where every hour counts. Reviewing five years of surgically confirmed cases at a Ghanaian quaternary hospital, the team found that scrotal ultrasound correctly identified about 87% of cases, but most patients, mainly teenagers, arrived more than six hours after symptoms began.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Anemia in Pregnant Women Attending Antenatal Clinic at a Medical Center in Accra, Ghana: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Gifty Amewudah, Frank Twum Aboagye, Frank Quarshie, et al. · Health Science Reports

More than half of 152 pregnant women attending antenatal care at an Accra medical centre were anaemic. Women who ate too few iron-rich foods, had sickle cell disease or carried intestinal worms were far more likely to be anaemic, which supports routine screening and nutrition support in antenatal care.

Margaret Duah Atuahene, Frank Quarshie, Christian Arhinful, et al. · Sage Open Pediatrics

In a study of 265 children and their mothers in Cape Coast, one in five children was stunted. Stunting was more common where mothers had less education, lower income or no job, and less common among children who were exclusively breastfed for their first six months.
