- Ancient Athens was reputed to be a bright intellectual, educational and cultural center all over ancient Greece and beyond. The primary objective of its education was the cultivation of the person's mental, physical and moral qualities, with a view to helping the youth to become cerebral, physically strong, decent and then useful to his city and fellow citizens. The emphasis of Athenian education was preparing well-rounded citizens who were conscious of lofty values behind performing whatever task was asked of them. In contrast with many contemporary schools that focus on short-term outcomes, the Athenian school system took a lifelong view. Educational approach that aims at producing quality leaders and value-oriented people is hard-fought today. The place of proper values in relation to educational goals has been given very little attention by most educational institutions. Attitudes of growing number of parents and teachers are no help. In the attempt to attain personal goals, all eyes seem shut to development of those personal qualities that are most crucial to real community development: honesty, integrity, and the ability to work collaboratively. This article reviews the Athenian approach to education and posits that the values embedded in the Greeks’ basic education dictated the societal outcome of schooling in the ancient time. Then, with a discussion on Pericles’ Funeral Oration, a value assessment is presented. In sum, emphasis is placed on the social need for a value-driven education that involves an entire community in the article to demonstrate that coping effectively and creatively with emerging national and world trends requires more than possession of new knowledge and skills. 2 results 2

- Background: To document the pattern of ophthalmic congenital anomalies and their associated systemic anomalies in Nigeria’s foremost university teaching hospital. Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study conducted at the University College Hospital, Ibadan from January 2009 to December 2013. Clinic and ward registers of various departments and units in the hospital were reviewed to identify children with any structural abnormality, present at birth, which involved the eye and/or its adnexae. Results: Two hundred and forty eight children with 259 ophthalmic congenital anomalies were studied. The median age was 1.2 years with an interquartile range of 4.6 years. The male to female ratio was 1.27:1. Congenital cataract was found in 109 (44%) patients; 40 (15.4%) children had congenital glaucoma, and whole globe anomalies were observed in 18 (6.9%) children. Eighteen (7.9%) children had a family history of congenital anomalies. Associated systemic congenital anomalies were seen in 32 (12.9%) patients with the most common being cardiovascular anomalies in 13 (5.2%) patients. Children who had congenital cataracts were more likely to have multiple associated systemic anomalies (p<0.005). All the children who had associated cardiovascular anomalies had congenital cataracts (p= 0.001). Conclusion: The commonest ophthalmic congenital anomaly presenting for tertiary care in Ibadan is congenital cataract. Cardiovascular anomalies are the commonest systemic association of ophthalmic congenital anomalies. There is an urgent need for the establishment of a registry for congenital anomalies with effective screening and active surveillance within the Nigerian health system. 2 results 2

- Covid-19 infection predominantly affects the respiratory system; however, other systems and organs are also affected. The kidneys are among the organs commonly affected by SARS-CoV-2 and this has been reported to be a predictor of increased severity, need for intensive care (ICU), admission, and death. We presented two cases of COVID-19 that were associated with co-morbidities that include diabetes mellitus, systemic hypertension and impaired kidney function. The relationship of the multiple co-morbidities particularly the impaired kidney function with the outcomes of COVID-19 infection and the challenges of offering dialysis for patients with COVID-19 infection with kidney failure were discussed. The two cases presented also highlighted the state of preparedness for the management of COVID-19 and its various complications and co-morbidities, particularly kidney failure in a tertiary hospital in Nigeria at onset of the COVID-19 outbreak.
