Background : Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is often under and over diagnosed, thereby making the ancillary diagnostic tests important for establishing the diagnosis of TBM. The objective of this study was to evaluate cerebrospinal fluid adenosine deaminase (CSF-ADA) as an ancillary test for the diagnosis of TBM, and further, its correlation with adverse neurological outcome in these patients. Materials and Methods : This was a prospective study of 83 patients. The diagnosis of TBM was established by Thwaites criteria. CSF-ADA levels were measured in all these patients and were taken to be positive at levels >10 IU/l. These patients were followed up at 1 and 3 months after discharge, and the resultant neurological deficit was measured as per the modified Rankin score and correlated with the initial CSF-ADA levels. Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test, Kruskall-Wallis tests were used for statistical analyses. Results : CSF-ADA values were higher than 10 IU/l in all the 83 patients diagnosed to be suffering from TBM. It was seen that the mean ADA level for patients with stage I/II was 18.23 ± 8.64 IU/l, while it was 31.97 ± 226 004, India.
背景:结核性脑膜炎(TBM)常常诊断不足或过度,因此辅助诊断检查对于确定TBM的诊断很重要。本研究的目的是评估脑脊液腺苷脱氨酶(CSF-ADA)作为TBM诊断的辅助检测,并进一步研究其与这些患者不良神经预后的相关性。材料和方法:这是一项纳入83例患者的前瞻性研究。TBM的诊断依据Thwaites标准。在所有这些患者中测量CSF-ADA水平,并在10 - 10 IU/l水平时视为阳性。这些患者在出院后1个月和3个月随访,根据修正Rankin评分测量神经功能缺损,并与初始CSF-ADA水平相关。采用Mann-Whitney U检验、χ2检验、Kruskall-Wallis检验进行统计分析。结果:确诊为TBM的83例患者CSF-ADA值均高于10 IU/l。I/II期患者平均ADA水平为18.23±8.64 IU/l,印度为31.97±226 004。

Since its first description by Hunter,[1] the nasogastric (NG) tube has become a frequently used method of alleviating gastrointestinal symptoms. NG tubes are frequently used in the clinical setting for the management of patients who require decompression of the gastrointestinal tract, diagnosis and assessment, nutritional support and medication administration.[1,2] The insertion and management of NG tubes are procedures increasingly undertaken by nurses, interns, House officers, Medical Practitioners although, there is a wide variation in practice.[1-3] The use of NG tubes may be associated with complications.[2] Attention to tube size selection, assessment of tube position and the method of securing NG tubes are important components of care of NG tube to minimize the risks of NG tube-related complications and provide for optimal patient safety and comfort. Therefore the aim of this update is to highlight the uses, care and hazards of NG tube.
自Hunter首次描述鼻胃管(nasas胃管)以来[1],鼻胃管已成为一种常用的缓解胃肠道症状的方法。在临床环境中,NG管经常用于需要胃肠道减压、诊断和评估、营养支持和药物管理的患者的管理。[1,2] NG管的插入和管理越来越多地由护士、实习生、住院医生、医生承担,尽管在实践中存在很大差异。[1-3] NG管的使用可能与并发症有关[2]。注意管径选择、管位评估和固定方法是NG管护理的重要组成部分,以尽量减少NG管相关并发症的风险,并提供最佳的患者安全性和舒适性。因此,本次更新的目的是强调NG管的使用,护理和危害。

Sir, Gastrointestinal duplications are rare congenital malformations that differ in size, site and symptoms.[1] Gastrointestinal duplications are observed in 1 in 4500 live births, and are common in males. The small intestine is the most frequent site involved, whereas gastric, duodenal, rectal, and thoracoabdominal involvement is relatively rare. Synchronous gastrointestinal duplications occur in as many as 15% of patients.[2] Semental resection or stripping with intestinal lengthening procedure is completely curative of the condition.[3-6]
长官,胃肠道重复是一种罕见的先天性畸形,大小、部位和症状都不同。[1]每4500个活产婴儿中就有1个出现胃肠道重复,在男性中很常见。小肠是最常见的受累部位,而胃、十二指肠、直肠和胸腹受累则相对罕见。多达15%的患者出现了同步胃肠道重复。[2]网膜切除或剥离加肠延长术是完全可以治愈的。[3-6]

Background : With improvement in preventive medicine and advancement in the management of otherwise morbid eye conditions, the reasons for destructive eye surgeries have changed overtime. Objectives : This study aims at determining the current indications for destructive eye surgeries and compares these to the findings of a similar study done in the same unit two decades earlier. Materials and Methods : It is a retrospective study of 278 cases of destructive eye operations performed at the Guinness Ophthalmic Unit of Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital Kaduna from January 1991 to December 2000. Results : They were 152 eviscerations, 67 enucleations, and 59 exenterations. Tumors were responsible for the majority of destructive eye operations in the unit (31%). This was followed closely by endophthalmitis/panophthalmitis (30%). Others were trauma (23%), corneal disease (8%) and painful blind eyes (7%). Conclusion : They were noticeable changes in the indications for destructive eye operations especially for some infective and nutritional causes which are largely preventable.
背景:随着预防医学的进步和眼病治疗的进步,破坏性眼部手术的原因也随着时间的推移而改变。目的:本研究旨在确定目前破坏性眼科手术的适应症,并将其与20年前在同一单位进行的类似研究的结果进行比较。材料和方法:回顾性研究1991年1月至2000年12月在卡杜纳Ahmadu Bello大学教学医院吉尼斯眼科部进行的278例破坏性眼部手术。结果:取出152例,拔出67例,拔出59例。肿瘤是造成该单位大部分破坏性眼部手术的原因(31%)。紧随其后的是眼内炎/全眼炎(30%)。其他是外伤(23%)、角膜疾病(8%)和失明痛(7%)。结论:破坏性眼手术的适应证发生了明显的变化,特别是一些感染和营养原因,这些原因在很大程度上是可以预防的。

Objectives : The objective is to determine transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) findings and their relevance in the diagnosis of prostatic cancer among patients with abnormal digital rectal examination (DRE) and elevated PSA. Materials and Methods : This was a prospective study of 131 patients suspected to have advanced prostate cancer based on clinical presentation, abnormal DRE and elevated PSA (>10 ng/ml), who were evaluated with TRUS prior to prostatic biopsy and the findings correlated with the histologic outcome. Results : The mean prostate size by TRUS was 66.8 g with a range of 15-219 g. The majority of patients with hypoechoic nodules 56.3% (45 of 80) had a malignant histology and the yield was higher among those with both hypoechoic nodules and prostatic capsule invasion 25 (31.3%). Cancer detection in those with mixed echogenicity was next in frequency 33.8% (27 of 80). All the prostates with hyperechoic pattern and most of those with isoechoic appearance had benign histology. Conclusion : Though TRUS findings generally have a low specificity for prostate cancer, the specificity of TRUS findings is probably higher in advanced prostate cancer.
目的:目的是确定经直肠超声(TRUS)在直肠指检(DRE)异常和PSA升高患者中的表现及其与前列腺癌诊断的相关性。材料与方法:这是一项前瞻性研究,131例根据临床表现、DRE异常和PSA升高(>10 ng/ml)怀疑患有晚期前列腺癌的患者,在前列腺活检前进行TRUS评估,其结果与组织学结果相关。结果:前列腺肥大平均66.8 g,范围15 ~ 219 g。80例低回声结节患者中有45例(56.3%)为恶性组织学,而同时伴有前列腺包膜浸润的患者中有25例(31.3%)为恶性组织学。混合回声的癌症检出率次之,为33.8%(27 / 80)。所有高回声型及大部分等回声型前列腺均为良性组织。结论:虽然TRUS对前列腺癌的特异性一般较低,但在晚期前列腺癌中,TRUS的特异性可能更高。

Penoscrotal transposition may be partial or complete, resulting in variable degrees of positional exchanges between the penis and the scrotum. Repairs of penoscrotal transposition rely on the creation of rotational flaps to mobilize the scrotum downward or transpose the penis to a neo hole created in the skin of the mons-pubis.

Clinical approach to Lymphadenopathy 淋巴结病的临床治疗
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.4103/0331-3131.100201
A. Abba, M. Khalil
Lymphadenopathy (LAP) is a common clinical finding that may be localized, limited or generalized. The enlargement of a lymph node, due to primary disease or secondary cause, is of concern to both patients and clinicians, particularly, if the underlying pathology is a malignant disease. Lymph node aspiration or biopsy for histopathological evaluation may not reveal the diagnosis due to several factors. However, a methodological approach to LAP can disclose the accurate diagnosis with minimal discomfort to the patient and in a short time. In this review article, we provide evidence-based clinical evaluation of LAP, guided by the probability of the underlying disease to assist clinicians in establishing the proper cause and hence offer appropriate management.
淋巴结病(LAP)是一种常见的临床表现,可能是局部的,有限的或全身性的。由于原发疾病或继发原因引起的淋巴结肿大是患者和临床医生关注的问题,特别是如果潜在病理是恶性疾病。由于一些因素,淋巴结穿刺或组织病理学评估活检可能无法显示诊断。然而,LAP的方法学方法可以在最短的时间内以最小的不适揭示准确的诊断。在这篇综述文章中,我们提供基于证据的LAP临床评估,以潜在疾病的可能性为指导,帮助临床医生确定正确的原因,从而提供适当的管理。

Massive spontaneous subcutaneous emphysema is rare in the absence of trauma. An 11-year-old male child, a known case of poorly controlled bronchial asthma presented with sudden onset of respiratory distress after a sudden bout of cough. He also had painful swelling of the neck, chest, abdomen, and upper limbs. On clinical and radiological examination, he was found to have massive subcutaneous emphysema. A gastrografin study was done which showed no esophageal perforation. Computed tomography of his neck and thorax demonstrated pneumomediastinum with no lung or pleural pathology. Management was conservative with supplemental oxygen, nebulized bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and intravenous antibiotics. Child improved symptomatically without any surgical intervention and was discharged after 7 days.
大面积自发性皮下肺气肿在没有外伤的情况下是罕见的。11岁男童,已知控制不良支气管哮喘病例,在突然咳嗽后突然发作呼吸窘迫。他的颈部、胸部、腹部和上肢也有疼痛的肿胀。经临床及影像学检查,发现他有大量的皮下肺气肿。胃grafin检查未发现食管穿孔。颈部及胸部电脑断层显示纵膈气肿,无肺或胸膜病变。治疗是保守的补充氧气,雾化支气管扩张剂,皮质类固醇和静脉注射抗生素。患儿无任何手术干预,症状改善,7天后出院。

Objective : This study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with poor sleep quality among medical students at a Nigerian university. Materials and Methods : In a cross sectional survey, the sleep quality of students (n=255) was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). In addition to obtaining sociodemographic data, history of adverse childhood experiences and drug use, measures assessing daytime sleepiness, fatigue and psychiatric morbidity were also administered. Results : Almost a third (32.5%) of medical students reported poor quality sleep. The presence of a chronic illness (OR: 5.10, 95% CI: 1.53-17.11, P<0.02), adverse childhood experience (OR: 1.73, 95% CI: 0.98-3.02, P<0.05) and irregular sleep schedule (OR: 4.78, 95% CI: 2.65-3.02, P<0.01) significantly predicted poor sleep quality. Conclusion: Poor quality of sleep is common among medical students, and is associated with predisposing and several modifiable factors. Strategies to improve sleep quality are suggested.

In addition to obtaining sociodemographic data, history of adverse childhood experiences and drug use, measures assessing daytime sleepiness, fatigue and psychiatric morbidity were also administered. Results : Almost a third (32.5%) of medical students reported poor quality sleep. The presence of a chronic illness (OR: 5.10, 95% CI: 1.53-17.11, P<0.02), adverse childhood experience (OR: 1.73, 95% CI: 0.98-3.02, P<0.05) and irregular sleep schedule (OR: 4.78, 95% CI: 2.65-3.02, P<0.01) significantly predicted poor sleep quality. Conclusion: Poor quality of sleep is common among medical students, and is associated with predisposing and several modifiable factors. Strategies to improve sleep quality are suggested.","PeriodicalId":331118,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Nigerian Medicine","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130508144","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}

The commonest sites of non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma in the head and neck are the cervical nodes, Waldeyer′s ring and extra lymphatic organs such as the sinuses, larynx, salivary glands and oral cavity etc. We present the case of a 10 year old with upper airway obstruction secondary to retropharyngeal Burkitt′s lymphoma. The presenting features here are very similar to obstructive adenoid enlargement. Emergency tracheotomy, biopsy, and chemotherapy led to resolution and subsequent decanulation. This case is highlighted in relation to the increasing recognition of AIDS related lymphomas globally.
头颈部非霍奇金淋巴瘤最常见的部位是颈结、瓦尔德耶氏环和其他淋巴器官,如鼻窦、喉部、唾液腺和口腔等。我们提出的情况下,10岁的上呼吸道阻塞继发于咽后伯基特淋巴瘤。表现特征与梗阻性腺样体增大非常相似。紧急气管切开术、活组织检查和化疗导致病情缓解和随后的脱管。随着全球对艾滋病相关淋巴瘤的认识不断提高,这一病例得到了强调。
