Routine medical screening usually involves periodic history taking, physical examination, and laboratory tests on a regular basis for asymptomatic individuals for continuing self-health care. ⋯ The practice of routine medical screening by the health care workers in our region is poor despite the demonstration of a good knowledge. The major factors affecting uptake of routine medical screening were sex, history of being managed for a health condition, and financial constraint. Staff of the hospital should be better enlightened on the use and importance of the Contributory Health Scheme in routine medical screening.

Case Reports
Diagnostic challenge and surgical management of multiple pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors - A case report.
Insulinoma is the most common functional solitary, benign pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. In this paper, we share our experience of triple pancreatic insulinomas, with an idea to highlight the fact that despite the high frequency of solitary insulinoma, there is the possibility of multiple lesions and point out the need for a systematic and detailed radiographic and clinical examination. A 33-year-old woman was admitted to our clinic due to chronic fatigue, sweating, sporadic episodes of palpitations, unsteady hands, and blurred images, which resolve spontaneously after a few minutes. ⋯ Intraoperative exploration by manual palpation and ultrasonography revealed two more lesions. In the case of sporadically distributed lesions in the pancreas and if it is not possible to accurately differentiate those that represent the insulinoma for sure, the surgical procedure should be delayed. Additionally, tests such as selective arterial calcium stimulation testing should be carried out, and then, with more information in hands, make a re-plan of the potential surgical treatment which should be made.

Although its etiology is not fully known, the accepted view is that bruxism is a multifactorial disorder. ⋯ The findings revealed that, although bruxism was common among dental students, gender and psychosocial factors are also mostly associated with the etiology of bruxism. In this context, during the challenging dentistry education period, it is important to direct students who are found to have high levels of psychological symptoms to psychological counseling and guidance services.
