Environmental impacts of oil production in the Niger Delta: Remote sensing and social survey examination - A. Ayanlade; MT Howard (African Geographical Review, 2016)
This study examines environmental change in Tsekelewu, Niger Delta Region. Both remote sensing and social survey methods were used to assess the impacts of oil exploration activities around the Tsekelewu community. Landsat data between 1984 and 2011 were used for spatiotemporal change in the environment around the community while mixed method approaches were used to collect social data. The results show that several mangrove forest areas were degraded around Tsekelewu during the 1980s and 1990s while the vegetation appeared regenerated during the 2000s, although, at a very slow rate. The rate of regeneration noted from 1999 to 2011 has not fully compensated for the mangrove loss that occurred during the 1980s and early 1990s. After 15 years of uncontrolled forest destruction, little vegetation regeneration, the area was taken over by brackish water mangrove.

The impact of genetic polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics of efavirenz in African children - A. Bienczak; A. Cook; L. Wiensner; Olagunju, A; V. Mulenga; C. Kityo; A. Kekitiinwa; Owen, A; S. Walker; D. Gibb; H. McIlleron; D. Burger; et al. (British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 2016)
AIM: To characterise the efavirenz steady-state pharmacokinetics in African children using model-based approach, quantifying demographic and genotypic effects on the drug's disposition, and conduct simulations allowing prediction of optimised doses of efavirenz in this population. METHODS: We modelled the steady-state population pharmacokinetics of efavirenz in Ugandan and Zambian children using nonlinear mixed-effects modelling. Individual mid-dose efavirenz concentrations were derived and simulations explored genotype-based dose optimisation strategies. RESULTS: A 2-compartment model with absorption through transit compartments well described 2086 concentration-time points in 169 children. The combined effect of SNPs 516GT and 983TC explained 44.5% and 14.7% of the variability in efavirenz clearance and bioavailability, respectively. The detected frequencies of composite CYP2B6 genotype were 0.33 for 516GG|983TT, 0.35 for 516GT|983TT, 0.06 for 516GG|983TC, 0.18 for 516TT|983TT, 0.07 516GT|983TC and 0.01 for 516GG|983CC. The corresponding estimated clearance rates were 6.94, 4.90, 3.93, 1.92, 1.36, and 0.74 L/h for a 15.4 kg child and median (95% CI) observed mid-dose concentrations 1.55 (0.51-2.94), 2.20 (0.97-4.40), 2.03 (1.19-4.53), 7.55 (2.40-14.74), 7.79 (3.66-24.59) and 18.22 (11.84-22.76) mg/L, respectively. Simulations showed that wild-type individuals had exposures at the bottom of therapeutic range, while slower metabolisers were over-exposed. CONCLUSIONS: Dosage guidelines for African children should take into consideration the combined effect of SNPs CYP2B6 516G > T and 983 T > C.

Impact of Weather on Road Traffic Accidents in Ondo State, Nigeria: 2005 -2012 - M.O.Olawole (Analele Universităţii din Oradea – Seria Geografie, 2016)
Road traffic accidents and their related deaths have become a major health problem and concerns. Studies have examined the impact of weather on road traffic accidents and casualties. However, the effect of weather on road traffic accidents in the existing literature is scanty in Nigeria. In the light of the growing interest in understanding the interrelationship between climate change and transportation including road traffic accidents, this study examines the impact of rainfall and temperature on road traffic accidents in Ondo State, Nigeria between 2005 to 2012. Secondary data on monthly road traffic accidents, rainfall and temperature were derived for the study duration from the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) and Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET). A total of 337 road traffic accidents occurred between 2005 and 2012, 30.83% were fatal, 52.56% were serious and 16.60% were minor accidents. The main finding is that the total road traffic accident is a function of several other factors than rainfall and temperature. Specifically, correlations between road traffic accidents and elements of weather were generally low and never exceeding 0.41. Both rainfall and temperature were negatively and positively correlated on yearly bases. Similarly, multiple linear regression models between road traffic accidents and the weather elements on yearly bases show that the variations in road traffic accidents accounted for by rainfall and temperature are equally low never exceeding 25.7%. In order to determine whether or not the weather effects on road traffic accidents are significant, continued research using additional weather and no weather variables is needed to replicate this study in the country.

Influences of wind speed and direction on atmospheric particle concentrations and industrially induced noise - A. Ayanlade; EF Oyegbade (SpringerPlus, 2016)
Purpose In this study, the spatial and temporal relationship of wind speed, atmospheric particles concentration, and the industrial-induced noise levels during different times of the day were examined, using sawmill industrial location around Ile-Ife in Osun of Nigeria as a case study. Methods Mobile devices were used to measure noise level and basic meteorological parameters were examined and their influences on the noise levels distribution were assessed. The maximum and minimum sound levels; Lmax and Lmin, the PM10 and PM1 particle concentrations, wind speeds and directions were measured in the morning (7–9 a.m.), afternoon (12–2) and evening (4–6 p.m.) over 14 consecutive days. Results The results revealed that the noise level varies spatiotemporally, much more consistent spatial distribution along the vicinity of sawmill industries. A higher level of noise occurred during the weekday (WD), Leq > 70 dB(A), compared to weekends (WE). Extreme average noise levels are associated with the immediate neighbourhood of sawmill industrial areas during WD compared to streets and road annexes of the study area. The results also show a very weak relationship between noise and PM10 and PMcoarse for both WD and WE with r < 0.35 for PM1 and r < 0.20 for PMcoarse. There appears to be a moderate significant correlation between noise level and PM1 during some meteorological conditions with r > 0.51. Conclusion The slight relationship between noise and PM1 is perhaps a result of wind movement that carries particles from the source region since booth noise and particles mostly originate from the sawmill. The study concludes that wind speeds and directions have a significant influence on both noise level and particle concentration within the study sites.

Landuse Change within Okomu and Gilli-Gilli Forest Reserves, Southwestern Nigeria: its climatic and societal implications - A. Ayanlade (Tropical Ecology, 2016)
The study evaluated the climatic and societal implications of vegetation degradation in Okomu and Gilli-Gilli Forest Reserves (OGFRs) of Nigeria. Both remote sensing and non-remote sensing data and methodologies were used. Landsat data between 1984 and 2011 were used as quantitative data while social survey was carried out for qualitative data collection and assessment. Both remote sensing classification and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) methods were used in this study. The results show that deforestation resulting from farmland encroachment has increased in Okomu Forest Reserves (OFR) but was relatively low in Gilli-Gilli Forest Reserves (GFR). In 1984, about 17 % of the reserves were deforested, and this increased to 37 % in 2011 in OFR. These values reveal a massive deforestation. Forest disturbance within the GFR is much less than OFR possibly because high rate of illegal oil palm development in OFR. The result shows no significant impacts of vegetation degradation on local climate, but people in the communities around the reserves reported several climatic extreme events as a result of vegetation removal. However, the study could not reveal direct significant impact of vegetation degradation on local climate but there were rather indirect impacts from climate events. The results from social survey show that over 80 % of local people perceived high rate of heavy erosion and flooding mostly from year 2000 to 2011. It is obvious from the social survey that unrestrained felling of forest in the region has also rendered the soil vulnerable to erosion and flooding since forests tend to reduce the impact of erosion and floods. There is a need for proper enforcement of forest conservation laws in order to reduce the rate of deforestation, not only in OFR and OGR but also in all forest reserves in the country.

Mode Choice of Undergraduates : A Case Study of Lecture Trips in Nigeria - M.O.Olawole; O.M.Olapoju (Indonesian Journal of Geography, 2016)
Travel behavior and determinants of mode choice of university students in Nigeria are neither well understood nor well represented in literature. This study model `modal choice of undergraduates, using data from students travel survey and logistic regression to determine factors influence modal choice of undergraduate students in Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife, Nigeria. The results indicate that walking dominate modes for on-campus and commercial bus for off-campus students, while motorcycles taxi is used by few of the sample. Mode choices are influenced by a combination of socio-economic and trip factors. A key finding is extent that these variables positively affect the odds of using walk and commercial bus modes especially with reference to student residence: on and off-campus. The results suggest investment in pedestrian infrastructure and development of intermodal transport system as a means of making the university livable and attractive.

Pharmacogenetics of nevirapine excretion into breast milk and infants' exposure through breast milk versus post-exposure prophylaxis - Adeniyi Olagunju; Khoo, Saye; Andrew Owen (Pharmacogenomics, 2016)
Aim: The influence of genetic factors on nevirapine (NVP) breast milk pharmacokinetics and breastfed infants’ exposure were investigated. Patients & methods: Associations between nine SNPs in NVP disposition genes in mothers and its plasma and breast milk concentrations were explored in nursing mother–infant pairs. Results: NVP pharmacokinetics in maternal plasma, breast milk and infant exposure indices were influenced by CYP2B6 516G>T and 983T>C. The median (range) milk-to-plasma area under the curve (AUC0–12) ratio was 0.95 (0.56–1.5). Calculated as percentages of pediatric treatment, infant postexposure prophylaxis and maternal weight-adjusted doses, the maximum exposure indices were 3.64% (1.99–9.88), 26.0% (9.93–79.1) and 13.8% (5.77–27.7), respectively. Infant plasma concentration as a result of exposure through breast milk (n = 93), pre-exposure prophylaxis (n = 10) and both (n = 27) were 660 (104–3090), 1020 (401–3325) and 2720 ng/ml (1360–7290), respectively. Conclusion: The clinical significance of the observed differences between routes of infants’ exposure warrants further investigation.

Pregnancy affects nevirapine pharmacokinetics – evidence from a CYP2B6 genotype-guided observational study - Adeniyi Olagunju; Bolaji, Oluseye; Neary Megan; David Back; Khoo, Saye; Andrew Owen (Pharmacogenetics and Genomics, 2016)
OBJECTIVES: Previous studies on nevirapine pharmacokinetics during pregnancy reported contradictory findings. METHODS: The magnitude of pregnancy-induced changes in nevirapine pharmacokinetics was investigated in a genotype-guided study preceded by a pharmacogenetic association study of six genes involved in its disposition. RESULTS: CYP2B6 516 G>T and 983 T>C were associated independently with plasma nevirapine concentrations in pregnant (n=110) and postpartum (n=122) women and were used for stratification. NR1I3 540C>T and P450 oxidoreductase 1508C>T were associated with lower and higher plasma concentrations in pregnant and postpartum women, respectively. In the intensive pharmacokinetic phase, apparent clearance (CL/F) was higher in pregnant (n=31) than postpartum (n=28) women (P=0.022) and AUC0-12, Cmax and Cmin were significantly lower. When stratified on the basis of composite CYP2B6 516 G>T and 983 T>C genotypes, CL/F was similar between pregnant (n=6) and postpartum (n=9) women with no variant alleles, but Cmin was below target (3400 ng/ml) in most patients in both groups. In women with one variant allele, clearance was 40.6% higher (P=0.0009) and Cmin was below target in 58% (11/19) of pregnant and 0% (0/10) of postpartum women. Similarly, clearance was 51.7% higher (P=0.008) in pregnant compared with postpartum women with two variant alleles. Cmin was below target in 50% (3/6) of pregnant and 0% (0/10) of postpartum women. CONCLUSION: Nevirapine exposure is significantly reduced during pregnancy. The pharmacodynamic consequences in patients at risk of suboptimal exposure and potential dose optimization strategies warrant further investigation.

SEA LEVEL RISE AND ITS POTENTIAL IMPACTS ON COASTAL URBAN AREA: A CASE OF ETI-OSA, NIGERIA. - AM Agboola; A. Ayanlade (Annals of the University of Oradea - Geography Series, 2016)
This study examines the spatial extent of coastal urban development and its potential sensitivity to sea-level rise. The main aim of the study is to critically examine the extent of growth in Eti-Osa over time, and the potential impacts of sea leve rise. Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) imageries of years 2000 and 2015 were used to evaluate the different land use type identified. Post-classification change detection method was used to evaluate the output of the maximum likelihood supervised classification analysis done. This was also used to estimate the changes induces through urban development on the environment which accounts for the biodiversity loss. ASTER GDEM 2 imagery of 2011 was used to generate the elevation data used for the inundation analysis. Thus, both Land use map of Eti-Osa in 2015 and the down scaled Sea-level rise scenarios (at 0.5 to 15 meters) were used for the inundation mapping. Results obtained from this research affirms that indeed EtiOsa has been subjected to gross urban expansion giving room for diverse forms of environmental degradation among which are huge replacement of natural land cover with built-up, reclamation of wetlands and sand filling of water bodies. This basically illustrates growth but also the risk that accompanies the advent of excessive alteration of natural ecosystem as Sea-level rise projections imply in this research.

Seasonality in the daytime and night-time intensity of land surface temperature in a tropical city area - A. Ayanlade (Science of the Total Environment, 2016)
Variations in urban land surface temperature (LST) links to the surrounding rural areas result to urban heat island (UHI), which is a global problem challenging both cities in develop and developing countries. Satellite data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), covering the period between 2002 and 2013 were analysed to examine seasonal variability in the daytime and night-time intensity of urban heat island (UHI), using Lagos metropolitan city of Nigeria as a case study. Contribution index (CI) and landscape index (LI) were used to estimate the LST contributions from non-urban and urban areas to UHI and assess the relationship between the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and LST. The LI showed that both non-urban and urban areas contribute greatly to strengthen the intensity of LST during the daytime (with LI < 1.0) and much more during the daytime in the dry seasons (LI = 0.13 in the year 2013). The correlation analysis showed seasonal variation in the relationship (R2) between NDVI and the LST for both day and night times. The highest R2 values were recorded for daytime, especially during the wet season (R2 > 0.90), while R2 were very low in the night-time especially during dry season. The study indicates that reduction in vegetal cover in Lagos urban areas altered the terrestrial thermal and aerodynamic processes hence resulted in an intensification of UHI in the metropolitan city.

Variation in diurnal and seasonal urban land surface temperature: landuse change impacts assessment over Lagos metropolitan city. - A. Ayanlade (Modeling Earth Systems and Environment, 2016)
Removal of vegetation to give space for urban expansion might result in the temperature rise in cities. The present study compares the LSTs derived from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) with observed air temperature from ground weather data. The natures of the materials that are usually found in the urban area are typically concrete and asphalt materials which affect the urban atmospheric system. In this study, variation in urban land surface temperatures (LST) using MODIS and in-situ meteorological data were examined. MODIS data and daily rainfall, minimum (Tm) and maximum (Tmx) temperature from ground weather station were used. The results reveal that average LSTs during the dry season are noticeably higher for both daytime during November: 34.62 °C, December: 33.75 °C, January: 34.68 °C, February: 35.02 °C and March: 34.87 °C. There are notable differences in the LST observed between daytime and nighttime for both MOD11A2 and MYD11A2 and that of maximum and minimum air temperature from in-situ meteorological data. MOD11A2 is a better proxy for daily maximum and minimum air temperature than MYD11A2, though seasonal variations in the extent of LST occurs during the wet and dry season. The study shows that the contribution of the urban LSTs was comparatively smaller at night than the day, perhaps as result of the variations in the amount of solar radiation received by the day and night times.

Oral Health Inequalities between Rural and Urban Populations of the African and Middle East Region - Ogunbodede, Eyitope; A Kida, I; S Madjapa, H; Amedari, M; Ehizele, Adebola; Mutave, Regina; Sodipo, B; Temilola, S; Okoye, L (Advances in dental research, 2015)
Although there have been major improvements in oral health, with remarkable advances in the prevention and management of oral diseases, globally, inequalities persist between urban and rural communities. These inequalities exist in the distribution of oral health services, accessibility, utilization, treatment outcomes, oral health knowledge and practices, health insurance coverage, oral health-related quality of life, and prevalence of oral diseases, among others. People living in rural areas are likely to be poorer, be less health literate, have more caries, have fewer teeth, have no health insurance coverage, and have less money to spend on dental care than persons living in urban areas. Rural areas are often associated with lower education levels, which in turn have been found to be related to lower levels of health literacy and poor use of health care services. These factors have an impact on oral health care, service delivery, and research. Hence, unmet dental care remains one of the most urgent health care needs in these communities. We highlight some of the conceptual issues relating to urban-rural inequalities in oral health, especially in the African and Middle East Region (AMER). Actions to reduce oral health inequalities and ameliorate rural-urban disparity are necessary both within the health sector and the wider policy environment. Recommended actions include population-specific oral health promotion programs, measures aimed at increasing access to oral health services in rural areas, integration of oral health into existing primary health care services, and support for research aimed at informing policy on the social determinants of health. Concerted efforts must be made by all stakeholders (governments, health care workforce, organizations, and communities) to reduce disparities and improve oral health outcomes in underserved populations.© International & American Associations for Dental Research 2015.

Aso-Òkè and Its Social and Economic Significance among the Yoruba of Southwest Nigeria - Babasehinde A Ademuleya (Journal of Culture, Society and Development, 2015)
The paper examined the place of Aso-Òkè among the Yoruba. It viewed the use of aso-òkè and its economy, which has been enhanced by the cloth’s prestige status over time. It observed that the elevation of aso-òkè as the symbol of Yoruba national identify has been a strong factor in the sustenance of its usage thus making it essential to the social, political, economic and cultural life of the people. The study noted the nationalist renewed appreciation of interest in African culture in their struggle for political independence led to their search for cultural emblem. It viewed that the search led the Yoruba elite, like their other educated Nigerians from the main ethnic groups to consciously identify themselves with cloths and mode of dresses peculiar to their areas. It concluded that as long as aso-òkè remains a material of value and prestige and more importantly an identity of the typical Yoruba person(s) home and abroad, it shall continue to be a relevant binding factor among the Yoruba and of a strong social and economic significance.

ASPECTS OF THE WATER RELATIONS OF FIVE MOSSES FROM SAVANNA AREA OF UPPER OGUN, SOUTHWEST NIGERIA - Olubukunola O. Oyesiku (Ife Journal of Science, 2015)

Assessing wetland degradation and loss of ecosystem services in the Niger Delta, Nigeria - A. Ayanlade; U Proske (Marine and Freshwater Research, 2015)
The Niger Delta, being the most extensive freshwater wetland and aquatic ecosystem in West Africa, provides numerous services both to local people and to the West African economy. Ongoing environmental pressure exerted by large-scale oil extraction and illegal timber logging, however, are suspected to have had a substantial impact on the Delta’s ecosystems over the last decades. Knowledge on impact of these activities on the region’s wetlands now or in the past is scarce and patchy. To address this lack of knowledge, this study assesses spatiotemporal changes in two wetlands in the region by using satellite data from 1984 to 2011 and GIS methods. The results show that both wetlands have experienced substantial degradation, particularly with respect to the area of forest lost. Although comprehensive environmental protection laws were introduced in 1988, ecosystem services of up to US$65 million in value were lost over the study period. The introduction of new legislation in 2007, however, is potentially a first step towards a more ‘wise use’ of wetlands in Nigeria.

Breast milk pharmacokinetics of efavirenz and breastfed infants' exposure in genetically-defined subgroups of mother-infant pairs: an observational study - Adeniyi Olagunju; Bolaji, Oluseye; Amara, Alieu; Catriona Waitt; Laura Else; Ebunoluwa Adejuyigbe; Marco Siccardi; David Back; Khoo, Saye; Andrew Owen (Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2015)
Background. The antiretroviral drug efavirenz is widely used during breastfeeding. Evaluating its safety requires an understanding of its breast milk pharmacokinetics, level of breastfed infants' exposure and potential influence of polymorphisms in drug disposition genes. Methods. For this observational study, we investigated plasma and breast milk pharmacokinetics of efavirenz and breastfed infants' exposure in HIV positive nursing mothers and their breastfed infants. We also evaluated potential variability due to genetic polymorphisms in CYP2B6, NR1I3, CYP2A6, ABCB1, ABCB5 and ABCG2. Results. CYP2B6 516G>T was independently associated with efavirenz concentrations in maternal plasma, breast milk and infant plasma (n=134). When stratified based on CYP2B6 516G>T (n=29 ; 11 GG, 10 GT and 8 TT), EFV pharmacokinetic parameters in plasma and breast milk differed significantly between patient groups. The median time averaged milk-to-plasma concentration ratio was 1.10 (range: 0.57-1.71). The estimated maximum infant efavirenz dose from breast milk was 809 µg/kg/day (215-2760) and paediatric dose weight-adjusted exposure index was 4.05% (1.08-13.8). Infant plasma concentrations did not change significantly during the dosing interval, 157 ng/mL (28.6-1360) in pooled analysis and 315 ng/mL (108-1360) in CYP2B6 516TT group. Infant plasma concentrations were highest up to 8 days of age at 1590 ng/mL (190-4631) and decreased by about 90% in the age stratum day 9 to 3 months. No efavirenz related toxicity was reported. Conclusions. Most breastfed infants are exposed to less than 10% of the weight-adjusted therapeutic paediatric dose, the safety threshold for exposure to maternal drugs from breast milk.

OBJECTIVES: Antiretroviral pharmacokinetics is defined by numerous factors affecting absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination. Biological processes underpinning drug distribution are only partially characterized and multiple genetic factors generate cumulative or antagonistic interactions, which complicates the implementation of pharmacogenetic markers. The aim of this study was to assess the degree to which heredity influences pharmacokinetics through the quantification of the relative genetic contribution (rGC) for key antiretrovirals. METHODS: A total of 407 patients receiving lopinavir/ritonavir, atazanavir/ritonavir, atazanavir, efavirenz, nevirapine, etravirine, maraviroc, tenofovir or raltegravir were included. Intra-patient variability (SDw) and inter-patient (SDb) variability were measured in patients with plasma concentrations available from more than two visits. The rGC was calculated using the following equation: 1 - (1 / F) where F = SDb(2) / SDw(2). RESULTS: Mean (95% CI) rGC was calculated to be 0.81 (0.72-0.88) for efavirenz, 0.74 (0.61-0.84) for nevirapine, 0.67 (0.49-0.78) for etravirine, 0.65 (0.41-0.79) for tenofovir, 0.59 (0.38-0.74) for atazanavir, 0.47 (0.27-0.60) for atazanavir/ritonavir, 0.36 (0.01-0.48) for maraviroc, 0.15 (0.01-0.44) for lopinavir/ritonavir and 0 (0-0.33) for raltegravir. CONCLUSIONS: The rank order for genetic contribution to variability in plasma concentrations for the study drugs was efavirenz > nevirapine > etravirine > tenofovir > atazanavir > atazanavir/ritonavir > maraviroc > lopinavir/ritonavir > raltegravir, indicating that class-specific differences exist. The rGC strategy represents a useful tool to rationalize future investigations as drugs with higher rGC scores may represent better candidates for pharmacogenetic-pharmacokinetic studies.

Development, validation and clinical application of a novel method for the quantification of efavirenz in dried breast milk spots using LC-MS/MS - Adeniyi Olagunju; Oluseye O Bolaji; Amara, Alieu; Catriona Waitt; Laura Else; Julius Soyinka; Babatunde Adeagbo; Ebunoluwa Adejuyigbe; Marco Siccardi; David Back; Andrew Owen; Khoo, Saye (Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2015)
Objectives This manuscript describes the development, validation and clinical application of a novel method for the quantification of the antiretroviral drug efavirenz in dried breast milk spots using LC-MS. Methods Dried breast milk spots were prepared by spotting 30 μL of human breast milk on each circle of Whatman 903 Protein Saver cards. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a reverse-phase C18 column with 1 mM ammonium acetate in water/acetonitrile using a solvent gradient at a flow rate of 400 μL/min and detection was by TSQ Quantum Access triple quadrupole mass spectrometer equipped with a heated electrospray ionization source. The method was applied to characterize the breast milk pharmacokinetic profile of efavirenz in HIV-positive nursing mothers receiving regimens containing 600 mg of efavirenz once daily. Results The assay was validated over the concentration range 50–7500 ng/mL. Accuracy ranged between 95.2% and 102.5% and precision ranged between 1.05% and 9.53%. The average recovery of efavirenz from dried breast milk spots was 106.4% and the matrix effect was 8.14%. Stability of efavirenz in dried breast milk spots and processed samples at room temperature, −40°C and −80°C was demonstrated. In the pharmacokinetic study, the mean (SD) AUC0–24, Cmax and Cmin of efavirenz in breast milk were 59 620 ng·h/mL (17 440), 4527 ng/mL (1767) and 1261 ng/mL (755.9), respectively. The mean (range) milk-to-plasma concentration ratio over the dosing interval was 0.78 (0.57–1.26). Conclusions The dried breast milk spot method is simple, robust, accurate and precise, and can be used in settings with limited resources.
