This study was carried out with the objectives to study the feasibility of laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection, to observe short term outcome such as recovery parameters, oncologic safety, morbidity and mortality, and to analyze the experience of laparoscopic colorectal surgery in a teaching hospital. Between January 2007 and July 2009, all consecutive adult cases admitted to our department for colorectal cancer were assessed for eligibility. The ethical committee approved the protocol at the Sterling Hospital. Out of 31 patients,17 were males and 14 females. The mean age was 59 years. The most common clinical presentation was weight loss and altered bowel habits. Rectum (51.61%) was the most commonly involved organ followed by cecum (22.58%). - median time to liquid diet was two days (range 1-22), and a solid diet was three days (range 3-30). The median time to first flatus was two days (range 1-5), and the first stool was five days (range 3-7). The postoperative stay was eight days (range 6-30) median time to mobilization was 2.5 days. The postoperative stay is cumulative and includes patients who underwent reoperation for the anastomotic leak. The median operating time was 240 mins (range 116 – 520). The median length of incision was 6 cm (range 4 – 10 cm). The median blood loss was 170 ml. Blood loss was higher in patients with hemorrhage and tumor adhesions, and both of them were converted to open. These patients incidentally had a more extended hospital stay. The laparoscopic technique for colorectal cancer is feasible and safe. Laparoscopic colorectal surgery (LCS) is associated with short term benefits like the earlier return of gastrointestinal function and shorter length of hospital stay. From the oncologic point of view, tumor resections are adequate, taking into context numbers of lymph nodes retrieved and resectional margins in context to oncologic safety. The decreased postoperative wound infections and early recovery facilitate appropriate adjuvant therapy. Advanced laparoscopic surgery requires a team approach with proper case selection. Transvaginal delivery of specimens can give scar-less surgery and the option for assisted natural orifice surgery.
本研究旨在探讨腹腔镜结直肠癌切除术的可行性,观察近期预后指标、肿瘤安全性、发病率、死亡率等,分析某教学医院腹腔镜结直肠癌手术的经验。在2007年1月至2009年7月期间,我们对所有因结直肠癌连续入院的成人病例进行了资格评估。伦理委员会在斯特林医院批准了这项协议。31例患者中,男17例,女14例。平均年龄59岁。最常见的临床表现是体重减轻和排便习惯改变。直肠(51.61%)是最常见的受累器官,其次是盲肠(22.58%)。液体饮食的中位时间为2天(范围1-22),固体饮食为3天(范围3-30)。首次放屁的中位时间为2天(范围1-5),首次大便的中位时间为5天(范围3-7)。术后住院时间为8天(范围6-30天),到活动的中位时间为2.5天。术后住院时间是累积的,包括因吻合口漏而再次手术的患者。手术时间中位数为240分钟(范围116 - 520分钟)。切口中位长度为6cm(范围为4 ~ 10cm)。中位失血量为170 ml,出血和肿瘤粘连患者失血量较高,均转为开放。这些病人的住院时间也更长。腹腔镜技术治疗结直肠癌是可行、安全的。腹腔镜结直肠手术(LCS)具有较早恢复胃肠功能和较短住院时间等短期效益。从肿瘤学的角度来看,肿瘤切除是足够的,考虑到肿瘤安全背景下淋巴结的数量和切除边缘。术后伤口感染的减少和早期恢复有利于适当的辅助治疗。先进的腹腔镜手术需要一个团队的方法与适当的病例选择。经阴道送标本可以提供无疤痕手术和辅助自然孔手术的选择。

Injuries in children are a well-known occurrence and often lead to fractures. The fractures may affect long bones, occur in all ages and could be accidental or non-accidental with associated injuries that may cause disability or permanent deformity. Lack of epidemiological research on causes, mechanism of injury and site of long bone fractures in children in our environment prompted this study. The study evaluates variables that maybe responsible for long bone fractures in children and document them accordingly for use in planning injury prevention strategies in children. The study was carried out in a tertiary hospital in a metropolitan city (Enugu State University of Science and Technology [ESUT] Teaching Hospital, Enugu, Nigeria). Medical records of patients, ward admission register, accident and emergency register and theatre registers were used for data collection. Children under 16 years who presented to the hospital with long bone fractures between January 2015 and December 2017 were part of the study. Eighty-five children with 86 long bone fractures out of 258 children that presented and were admitted into the orthopedic service were noted. Mean age of patients was 7.2 years + 1.8 years. The commonest long bone fractured was the femur n- 23 (26.7%). Males-female ratio was 1.15:1. Fall from height was the commonest cause of injury and abrasion/laceration the commonest associated injuries. Long bone fractures in children occur mostly due to falls from height and affects the femur more than any other bone. Bimodal annual occurrence rate has been noted and caregivers ought to be more vigilant during those times to help reduce the rate of long bone fractures in children.
儿童受伤是一种众所周知的现象,经常导致骨折。骨折可能影响长骨,发生在所有年龄,可能是偶然或非偶然的相关损伤,可能导致残疾或永久性畸形。我国环境下儿童长骨骨折的病因、损伤机制和部位缺乏流行病学研究,促使本研究的开展。该研究评估了可能导致儿童长骨骨折的变量,并相应地记录了它们,以用于规划儿童伤害预防策略。该研究是在一个大城市的一家三级医院(尼日利亚埃努古埃努古国立科技大学教学医院)进行的。数据收集使用了患者的医疗记录、住院登记簿、事故和急诊登记簿以及医院登记簿。2015年1月至2017年12月期间因长骨骨折入院的16岁以下儿童是研究的一部分。在258名儿童中,85名儿童有86例长骨骨折,并被骨科收治。患者平均年龄7.2岁+ 1.8岁。最常见的长骨骨折是股骨n- 23(26.7%)。男女比例为1.15:1。从高处坠落是最常见的损伤原因,擦伤/撕裂伤是最常见的相关损伤。儿童长骨骨折主要是由于从高处坠落造成的,股骨比其他骨骼受影响更大。双峰型骨折的年发生率已经被注意到,护理人员在这段时间应该更加警惕,以帮助减少儿童长骨骨折的发生率。

Case Report: Levodopa - induced creative awakening in a patient with Parkinson’s disease 病例报告:左旋多巴诱导帕金森病患者的创造性觉醒
Pub Date : 2021-08-02 DOI: 10.4314/ijmu.v14i1.4

Parkinson’s disease is primarily a neurodegenerative disorder and presents with neurological symptoms but it can also have  accompanying psychiatric symptoms. In addition, in some patients with Parkinson’s disease there can be an awakening of their creativity, which can take several forms. Such creativity can be seen in art-naïve patients or in whom the creativity lay dormant. Although the precise mechanism for this phenomenon is not understood, treatment with levodopa and dopamine agonists have been considered responsible in some cases. Here, we describe a patient with Parkinson’s disease in whom levodopa treatment triggered a latent creative skill that was dormant since childhood. Through the patient’s own and his wife’s eyes, we discuss the clinical benefits of this phenomenon.
帕金森氏症主要是一种神经退行性疾病,表现为神经症状,但也可能伴有精神症状。此外,在一些帕金森病患者中,他们的创造力可能会觉醒,这种觉醒可以采取几种形式。这种创造力可以在art-naïve患者或创造力处于休眠状态的人身上看到。虽然这种现象的确切机制尚不清楚,但在某些情况下,左旋多巴和多巴胺激动剂的治疗被认为是负责任的。在这里,我们描述了一位患有帕金森病的患者,左旋多巴治疗引发了一种自童年以来就处于休眠状态的潜在创造技能。通过患者自己和他妻子的眼睛,我们讨论了这种现象的临床益处。

High-density lipoprotein functionality in patients with hyperbaric oxygen therapy 高压氧治疗患者的高密度脂蛋白功能
Pub Date : 2021-08-02 DOI: 10.4314/ijmu.v14i1.2

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels are associated with decreased risk of atherosclerotic disease, but also not all HDL are  functionally equivalent. The functional status of HDL is closely linked to its primary protein component, apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA-I) levels and paraoxonase 1 (PON1) enzyme. Functional changes of HDL may arise from hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) induced posttranslational modification of ApoA-1 and PON1 levels. A total of 41 patients who met the research criteria were included in the study. On average, 30 sessions of HBO therapy were performed (range: 20-39). Laboratory measurements were performed at the beginning and at the end of HBO treatment in two groups of the same patients. We measured serum levels of Apo A-1, PON1, oxidized LDL (OxLDL) and routine lipid laboratory parameters to determine possible changes in HDL function with HBO therapy. As unexpected, long term HBO treatment have no effect on OxLDL and also on PON1 enzyme. However, the mean ApoA-1 values in the second group were statistically significantly increased than their pre-treatment values (P < 0.003). This preliminary study showed that HBO therapy increased the amount of serum ApoA-1. Actually, it can be assumed that the treatment of HBO does not have a negative effect on HDL functionality. The increase in ApoA-1 with HBO therapy is probably aimed at protecting against oxidative stress in patients. As a result, there is a need for larger clinical trials to determine the possible effects of HBO therapy on HDL functionality.
高密度脂蛋白(HDL)胆固醇水平与动脉粥样硬化疾病的风险降低有关,但并非所有HDL在功能上都是相同的。HDL的功能状态与其主要蛋白成分载脂蛋白A-1 (apoa -1)水平和对氧磷酶1 (PON1)酶密切相关。高密度脂蛋白的功能改变可能是由高压氧治疗(HBO)引起的ApoA-1和PON1水平的翻译后修饰引起的。共有41名符合研究标准的患者被纳入研究。平均30次HBO治疗(范围:20-39)。在两组相同患者的HBO治疗开始和结束时进行实验室测量。我们测量了血清载脂蛋白A-1、PON1、氧化LDL (OxLDL)和常规脂质实验室参数的水平,以确定HBO治疗对HDL功能的可能改变。出乎意料的是,长期高压氧治疗对OxLDL和PON1酶没有影响。而第二组患者的ApoA-1均值较治疗前升高,差异有统计学意义(P < 0.003)。本初步研究表明,HBO治疗增加了血清ApoA-1的含量。实际上,可以假设HBO治疗对HDL功能没有负面影响。HBO治疗增加ApoA-1可能是为了保护患者免受氧化应激。因此,需要更大规模的临床试验来确定HBO治疗对HDL功能的可能影响。

Physicians are prone to psychological distress, and this has been poorly studied in association with religiousness. As a result, the prevalence of psychological distress among physicians and its relationship with religiousness was investigated. The study was conducted at two neuropsychiatric centers, and two teaching hospitals in the South-South and South-West regions of Nigeria. Demographics and practice-related characteristics of 231 physicians were collected in addition to report on psychological distress using the 12-item General Health Questionnaire, and a religiousness measuring scale, Ironson–Woods Spirituality/Religiosity Index. Chi-square and t-test analyses were done using SPSS version 19. The prevalence rate of significant psychological distress among physicians was 19.05%. The physicians’ specialty of practice fell short of statistically significant association with religiousness (X2=9.02, p=0.06). There was no significant association between physicians’ state of health and religiousness. Psychological distress is fairly common among physicians and shows no relationship with religiousness.
医生容易产生心理困扰,而这与宗教信仰之间的关系研究得很少。结果,心理困扰的患病率医生及其与宗教信仰的关系进行了调查。这项研究是在尼日利亚南南和西南地区的两个神经精神病学中心和两个教学医院进行的。采用12项一般健康问卷和Ironson-Woods灵性/宗教虔诚度量表,收集231名医生的人口统计学特征和执业相关特征,并报告心理困扰。使用SPSS 19进行卡方检验和t检验分析。医师存在显著心理困扰的患病率为19.05%。医师执业专业与宗教信仰的相关性无统计学意义(X2=9.02, p=0.06)。医生的健康状况与宗教信仰之间没有显著的联系。心理困扰在医生中相当普遍,与宗教信仰无关。

Psychological distress is fairly common among physicians and shows no relationship with religiousness.","PeriodicalId":14472,"journal":{"name":"Internet Journal of Medical Update - EJOURNAL","volume":"285 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77205621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Primary healthcare is provided in most developing and developed countries to enhance healthcare accessibility for the population. This study accesses the impact of primary healthcare in six Sub-Saharan countries. A systematic search for qualitative and quantitative studies published before the end of 2017 was conducted online. Inclusion criteria were met by 6 studies, one each from Ghana, Malawi, Nigeria,  Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Five studies are peer-reviewed, and one is a working paper. Three studies reported on the impact of primary healthcare on healthcare accessibility. Four studies reported on the role healthcare resources play in enhancing primary  healthcare services. Two other studies mentioned how cost-sharing mechanism led to an increase in healthcare utilization and how the reduction in user changes in all primary healthcare centers led to the reduction in out-of-pocket spending on healthcare services in a short-term. Primary healthcare offers access and utilization to healthcare services in most countries. It also offers protection against the detrimental effects of user fees. However, concerted efforts are still needed in most African countries in revitalizing the operations of primary healthcare centers for the improvement of healthcare services.
大多数发展中国家和发达国家都提供初级保健,以提高人民获得保健的机会。本研究考察了撒哈拉以南6个国家初级卫生保健的影响。对2017年底前发表的定性和定量研究进行了系统的在线搜索。6项研究符合纳入标准,分别来自加纳、马拉维、尼日利亚、坦桑尼亚、赞比亚和津巴布韦。五项研究经过同行评审,一项是工作论文。3项研究报告了初级保健对保健可及性的影响。四项研究报告了卫生保健资源在加强初级卫生保健服务方面的作用。另外两项研究提到了费用分摊机制如何导致医疗保健利用的增加,以及所有初级医疗保健中心用户变化的减少如何在短期内导致医疗保健服务的自付支出的减少。在大多数国家,初级卫生保健提供获得和利用卫生保健服务的机会。它还提供了保护,防止用户收费的有害影响。然而,大多数非洲国家仍需齐心协力,重振初级保健中心的业务,以改善保健服务。
