Background: Clients satisfaction have gained increasing attention as meaningful and important sources of information for identifying gaps and developing an effective action plan for quality improvement in healthcare organizations. However, there only very few published studies reporting of the improvement resulting from feedback information of patient surveys, and in most cases, these studies are not in line with their findings. The patients become the main strategy for the main strategy for the organization of health services. This is the era of patients centre care. The study attempts to evaluate patients satisfaction with quality of service offered by clinical pathology Department in JUTH. Materials and methods: 150 Subjects were recruited after consent by random sampling through an inquiry conducted anonymously during the months of January and May 2017. The age range is between eighteen to seventy years. The inquiry was in form of questionnaire with the following questions: accessibility to the laboratory, cleanliness of the laboratory, patients-staff interpersonal relationship, waiting time and turn around time (TAT), labeled 1,2,3,4,5 respectively. Classification of the calculation results of questionnaires was carried out in three categories, namely good service quality, service quality is good enough, and the quality of service quality, service quality is good enough, and the quality of service is not good. Results: This study showed very high overall satisfaction of patients on service in clinical pathology laboratory (80.4%). The levers of cleanliness, communication level and TAT have the highest satisfaction with 99%, 95% and 93% respectively. Those with good enough falls into the category of accessibility and time taken with 52% and 63% respectively. The overall degree of satisfaction is 80.4%. Conclusion: The patients satisfaction in the lever of cleanness, communication, and TAT was the highest (good quality service) and the lowest of the levers ......

Background: Urolithiasis refers to the formation of calculi as a result of a disruption in the equilibrium between salt solubility and precipitation in the urinary system. Computed tomography is considered to be extremely sensitive diagnostic test for its detection due to development in technology. The goal of this study was to find out the accuracy of ultrasound for detection of urinary tract stones as compared to CT KUB. Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound with the reference of CT KUB for the diagnosis of urinary tract stones. Material and Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted from January 13, 2022 to May 13, 2022 in the Department of Radiology, Gondal Medical Complex Gujranwala, in 78 patients who underwent simple CT KUB after USG with suspected urinary stones. Ultrasound and CT findings were compared based on age, gender, clinical appearance, number of stones, and location. All data was collected using a self-made questionnaire. I analyzed the data using SPSS version 26. USG specificity, sensitivity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were evaluated using CT as a reference standard. Results: Among the 78 patients, 56.4 % (n=44) were male and 43.6 % (n=34) were female. The average age of the patients was 41.5430 years. Urolithiasis was discovered in 80.76 % of the patients (n=63) who had CT KUB. Trans-abdominal ultrasound sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and diagnostic accuracy in urolithiasis were calculated to be 68.3 %, 66.7 %, 89.6 %, 33.33 %, and 67.95 %, respectively. Conclusion: Trans-abdominal ultrasonography has a satisfactory diagnostic accuracy for urolithiasis since a range of parameters such as operator reliance, patient compliance, and stone size or location determines its sensitivity. When a CT scan is unavailable or contraindicated, it may be utilized as an alternative.

Background: The use of ultrasound has asignificant role in assessment of placental grading during antenatal treatment. With the help of ultrasound one can know about the gestational age, riskevaluation and it also describes about placental maturity, grading, fetal health, andprognosis. Any abnormality in placental maturity can lead towards poor pregnancy outcomes and fetus intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the evaluation of placental grading in 2nd and 3rd trimester using gray scale ultrasound for prediction of fetal outcomes. Material and Method: This study was conducted atgynecology and obstetrics department of two Hospitals (Sajida Khalil Hospital and Robina Sajid Hospital Gujrat) respectively. The duration of study was 4 months i.e. 14 January 2022 to 14 May 2022. Total number of participants was 200 pregnant ladies. These all were coming for their regular antenatal follow up in gynecology and obstetrics department of both hospitals. Results: Total 200 pregnant females with gestational age of 13 weeks and onwardi.e. 2nd and 3rd trimester in order to see the placental grading in 2nd and 3rd trimester were taken as sample population for the present study.Out of the total 200, women 62 (31.0%) were of second trimester and 138 (69.0%) were of third trimester. The results for placental grading by statistical analysis showed out of 200, 74 (37.0%) showed Placenta with Grade-I, 75 (37.5%) showed placenta with Grade-II maturity and 51(25.5%) showed placental maturity of Grade-III. Conclusion: Sonographic appearance of placental Grading gives us information about the well being and the information about placental appearance (hypoechoic, hyperechoic or echogencity).

Background: The enlargement of prostate is known as benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). It begins when the cells of the prostate gland begin to proliferate. BPH is caused by increased age and other factors associated with it. Objective: To determine the correlation of prostate volume with age and post-micturating residual (PMR) volume in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 patients of BPH that fulfilling inclusion criteria for 4 months, selected from Gondal Medical Complex Gujranwala during 14 January to 15 May 2022. Patients with prostate cancer, mild urinary tract or prostate surgery, and those with UTI or stone in bladder were excluded. Ultrasound was used to perform a transabdominal scan. Age, prostate volume (PV), and PMRV were the outcome parameters. Results: In this study hundred BPH positive patients were included. The mean age of patients with BPH, prostate weight, post-void residual volume of the participants was found to be 64.89±14.12 years, 54.68±29.42g, and 22.47±14.75ml respectively. In this study the correlation value of age of patients with BPH and prostate volume was 0.212 and P-value was 0.035 which was significant but the correlation between PV and PMRV was not significant because the correlation value of PV and PMRV was 0.032 and P-value was 0.751. Conclusion: This study concluded that there was significant correlation between Age and BPH but no significant correlation between BPH and PMRV.

Conclusion: This study concluded that there was significant correlation between Age and BPH but no significant correlation between BPH and PMRV.","PeriodicalId":429686,"journal":{"name":"EAS Journal of Radiology and Imaging Technology","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127959310","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 purpose of this work was to evaluate the results of three campaigns to support women victims of obstetric or non-obstetric fistulas. This is a retrospective and descriptive study of a series of 58 patients operated on during three campaigns for the management of urogenital and rectovaginal fistulas (February 2016, January 2017 and June 2021). All women with urogenital or rectovaginal fistula after questioning and physical examination were included. Fistula concerned 94.8% of housewives. At the time of diagnosis, 41.4% of our fistula patients were between 11 and 25 years old, with an age at first marriage of 11 to 20 years in 94.8%. Married women accounted for 79.3%. The births took place in 41.4% at home and were spontaneous in 55.2%. The repair techniques used were fistulorrhaphy by low or high way in 91.4%. The healing rate of closed and dried fistula was 62.1%.

Replacement lipomatosis of the kidney (RLK) is an advanced form of renal sinus lipomatosis, in which infection, renal calculi and long-standing hydronephrosis are accompanied by renal parenchymal atrophy. The kidneys are usually poor or non-functioning. We present CT and MRI findings of an unusual focal RLK of a 52-year-old male, who was examined with the suspicion of renal malignancy.

Medical ultrasound is a particularly useful imaging method used in the diagnosis of urinary fetal anomalies. One such fetal anomaly is the posterior urethral valve (PUV), which is a congenital malformation of the male urethra occurring early in gestation life. PUV is a common cause of obstructive uropathy in males and fetal death during pregnancy. We report from a medical imaging perspective on a rare and high-risk case of a PUV detected during routine antenatal ultrasound imaging in Botswana. The first scan performed at 16 weeks of gestation age was unremarkable. However, subsequent antenatal ultrasound scans at and after 20 weeks demonstrated bilateral hydronephrosis, distended ureters, and a urinary bladder which gradually increased with the gestation age. There was also a corresponding reduction in amniotic fluid and fetal movements. As a result of these complications, the pregnancy was classified as a “high-risk.” At 30 weeks, spontaneous labour occurred, and a fresh still birth male fetus was delivered.
