The aim of this retrospective study is to determine the duration of use, and the factors responsible for the discontinuation of intrauterine contraceptive device by the clients attending a tertiary health institution family planning clinic. Most of the clients 1070(71.7%) made intrauterine contraceptive device their choice of contraceptive method, and duration of use was between 1 and 79 months. The most frequent reason for discontinuing IUD was the desire to get pregnant (51.0%), and this was followed by menorrhagia (10.4%). In conclusion, more effort should be directed to counseling for adherence to the IUD use to ensure longer duration of use. Provision of the levonorgestrel intrauterine system which reduces bleeding and dysmenorrhoea, in our clinic may increase the continuation rate of IUD. Key words; IUD, duration of use, discontinuation, factors.
本回顾性研究的目的是确定在三级卫生机构计划生育诊所就诊的患者使用宫内避孕器的持续时间以及导致其停止使用的因素。1070例(71.7%)患者选择宫内节育器避孕,使用时间在1 ~ 79个月之间。停用宫内节育器最常见的原因是希望怀孕(51.0%),其次是月经过多(10.4%)。总之,更多的努力应该指向咨询坚持使用宫内节育器,以确保更长的使用时间。提供左炔诺孕酮宫内系统,可减少出血和痛经,可提高宫内节育器的延续率。关键字;宫内节育器,使用时间,停药,因素。

Nigeria is ranked the second most HIV/AIDS affected country in the world with 3.5million adults living with the virus and a very high prevalence among young girls and women of the reproductive age groups. Introducing HIV counselling and testing services within existing maternal and child health care package is therefore, a priority intervention for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of the HIV virus in Nigeria, because it provides opportunity for informed decision-making about options for delivery and infant feeding. This study is aimed at determining the perception, acceptance and satisfaction with the HIV counselling and testing services offered in PMTCT centres in Rivers State, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among pregnant women attending antenatal clinics at three PMTCT centres in the State, using a semi-structured and pre-tested questionnaire adapted from the National Guidelines for VCT services in Nigeria. Acceptance rate of HIV testing was high (89%), and the degree of satisfaction with services provided was also high (98.6%). However, three major barriers to accessing the services were identified as distance from home 31.7%, cost of transportation to clinics 20.1% and long waiting time to receive test results (16.5%). Overall, 98.1% would recommend the services to other pregnant women. Women were mostly satisfied with the pre-test counselling for HIV and there was high acceptance of HIV testing among pregnant women attending antenatal clinics in Rivers State. This is calling for the training of more counsellors to meet the different individual counselling needs and to scale up PMTCT services to the primary health centres, nearer to the people for maximum benefits. Key words: Perceptions, VCT, PMTC services, Rivers State, Nigeria
尼日利亚是世界上受艾滋病毒/艾滋病影响第二大的国家,有350万成年人感染该病毒,年轻女孩和育龄妇女的感染率非常高。因此,在现有的妇幼保健一揽子计划中引入艾滋病毒咨询和检测服务,是尼日利亚预防艾滋病毒母婴传播的一项优先干预措施,因为它为就分娩和婴儿喂养选择作出知情决策提供了机会。这项研究旨在确定对尼日利亚河流州预防母婴传播中心提供的艾滋病毒咨询和检测服务的认知、接受和满意度。对在该州三个预防母婴传播中心产前诊所就诊的孕妇进行了一项横断面调查,使用了一份根据尼日利亚预防母婴传播服务国家指南改编的半结构化和预先测试的问卷。艾滋病病毒检测接受率高(89%),对所提供服务的满意度也高(98.6%)。然而,获得服务的三个主要障碍被确定为离家太远(31.7%)、到诊所的交通费用(20.1%)和等待获得检测结果的时间过长(16.5%)。总体而言,98.1%的孕妇会向其他孕妇推荐这些服务。妇女大多对艾滋病毒检测前咨询感到满意,在河流州产前诊所就诊的孕妇对艾滋病毒检测的接受程度很高。这就要求培训更多的咨询师,以满足不同的个人咨询需求,并将预防母婴传播服务扩大到更接近人民的初级保健中心,以获得最大利益。关键词:感知,VCT, PMTC服务,河流州,尼日利亚

Eighteen cases of post-neonatal tetanus managed between January 2005 and December 2008 at the Federal Medical Centre, Nguru were retrospectively reviewed. The male female ratio was 3.5: 1, and mean ±SD age of 5.83 ±3.38years with range between 2 and 12 years. The immunization status was uncertain in 83.3% of the cases. Suppurative otitis media (SOM) and circumcision by the traditional ‘surgeon’ were important portals of entry of the infection, accounting for 50% of cases. A mortality of 5.9% was recorded. It is therefore recommended that patronage of traditional surgeons should be discouraged and parents should be encouraged to seek for medical care from Orthodox Health Care facilities. The role of Government in these matters is also vital. Furthermore, there is need to improve on routine immunization activities at the Local Government Area levels. Keywords : Post-neonatal tetanus, Immunization status, SOM, Circumcision.
对2005年1月至2008年12月期间在恩古鲁联邦医疗中心治疗的18例新生儿破伤风病例进行了回顾性审查。男女比例为3.5:1,平均±SD年龄为5.83±3.38岁,年龄范围为2 ~ 12岁。83.3%的病例免疫状况不确定。化脓性中耳炎(SOM)和传统“外科医生”包皮环切术是感染的重要入口,占病例的50%。死亡率为5.9%。因此,建议不鼓励传统外科医生的赞助,并鼓励父母向东正教保健机构寻求医疗保健。政府在这些问题上的作用也是至关重要的。此外,需要改进地方政府地区一级的常规免疫活动。关键词:新生儿破伤风,免疫状况,SOM,包皮环切术。

To determine the effect of HIV sero - positivity on the prevalence of intestinal helminthiasis. Descriptive, crossectional study design was undertaken. A cross sectional study among 496 HIV sero- positive (cases) and 490 HIV sero- negative (controls) children 1 – 15 years attending paediatrics clinic were surveyed for intestinal helminthiasis. Faecal samples were collected and examined for the presence of characteristic helminth ova using formol ether concentration method while intensity of infection was determined using McMaster counting chamber. Overall prevalence of intestinal helminthiasis was 15.4%. Prevalence was higher among the cases, 21.4% than the control, 9.5% and the difference in rate of infection was found to be statistically significant (PÂ 0.0000). The prevalence of helminthiasis is significantly higher among the cases than the controls. It is likely that in the cases, HIV status could have accentuated their susceptibility to helminthiasis. Regular deworming of cases alongside improved personal hygiene should be practiced to reduce infection burden. Key words: HIV sero - positive, intestinal helminth, children, health facility.
目的:探讨HIV血清阳性对肠道蠕虫病患病率的影响。采用描述性横断面研究设计。对在儿科门诊就诊的1 ~ 15岁艾滋病病毒血清阳性儿童496例和艾滋病病毒血清阴性儿童490例进行了肠蠕虫病的横断面调查。采集粪便标本,采用福尔摩醚浓度法检测特征性虫卵,采用麦克马斯特计数室检测感染强度。肠道蠕虫病的总体患病率为15.4%。病例患病率高于对照组,分别为21.4%和9.5%,感染率差异有统计学意义(PÂ 0.0000)。病例中蛔虫病的流行率明显高于对照组。在这些病例中,艾滋病毒感染状况可能加剧了他们对寄生虫病的易感性。应在改善个人卫生的同时定期为病例驱虫,以减轻感染负担。关键词:HIV血清阳性,肠蠕虫,儿童,卫生机构。

Pattern of morbidity and mortality in children in a hospital setting is essential because it serves as a guide to what happens in the larger society. By these findings, health facilities could be modified and improved upon for better management of those cases. To document the pattern of morbidity and mortality in children’s ward of Amaku General Hospital Awka (AGHA) Anambra State, the hospital records of children aged above one month to 18 years admitted to the children’s ward of AGHA from 1st January 2007 to 31st December 2008 were retrieved and reviewed. Of the 491 patients admitted during the period, 400 patients met the criteria for the study. The youngest child was 7 weeks old and the oldest 18 years. The commonest causes of admission were severe malaria (21.75%), Gastroenteritis (15.50%), febrile convulsion (14.75%), pneumonia (13.75%) andHIV/AIDS (10%). The commonest causes of death were severe malaria with anemic heart failure (30.61%), Gastroenteritis with severe dehydration (20.41%), pneumonia (16.33%) and HIV/AIDS (12.25%). Among the deaths, infancy period was mostly affected (36.74%). Having seen the pattern of morbidity and mortality in our area to be infection related, we recommend to government and society the improvement in our environmental sanitation, sustained health education, reducing poverty while promoting routine immunization, growth monitoring, Breastfeeding of our children and introduction of new vaccines. Keywords : Pattern, morbidity, mortality, children’s ward, Awka
医院环境中儿童发病率和死亡率的模式至关重要,因为它可以指导更大社会中发生的事情。根据这些发现,可以修改和改进卫生设施,以便更好地管理这些病例。为了记录阿南布拉州阿卡阿马库总医院儿童病房的发病率和死亡率模式,检索并审查了2007年1月1日至2008年12月31日阿卡阿马库总医院儿童病房收治的1个月以上至18岁儿童的住院记录。在此期间入院的491名患者中,有400名患者符合研究标准。最小的孩子7周大,最大的18岁。最常见的入院原因是严重疟疾(21.75%)、肠胃炎(15.50%)、热惊厥(14.75%)、肺炎(13.75%)和艾滋病毒/艾滋病(10%)。最常见的死亡原因是严重疟疾合并贫血性心力衰竭(30.61%)、肠胃炎合并严重脱水(20.41%)、肺炎(16.33%)和艾滋病毒/艾滋病(12.25%)。在死亡人数中,婴儿期受影响最大(36.74%)。在看到我国发病率和死亡率的模式与感染有关之后,我们建议政府和社会改善我们的环境卫生、持续的保健教育、在促进常规免疫、生长监测、儿童母乳喂养和引进新疫苗的同时减少贫困。关键词:模式,发病率,死亡率,儿童病房,Awka

Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a common form of diabetes autonomic neuropathy, causes abnormalities in heart rate control as well as central and peripheral vascular dynamics, and may carry an increased risk of mortality. The aim of this article was to review the importance of identifying CAN and discussing potential treatment interventions. Literature search was conducted using the reference databases Medline, Science Citation Index and the Cochrane Library. In addition, subsequent references of retrieved articles were reviewed. Search strategies included using key terms such as CAN, heart rate variability, orthostatic hypotension, and diabetes mellitus. The clinical manifestations of CAN include exercise intolerance, orthostatic hypotension, painless myocardial ischaemia, and reduced quality of life for persons with diabetes. Once CAN is suspected in a patient with diabetes, healthcare providers should increase surveillance for cardiac ischaemia, carefully re-examine the list of prescribed medications, and aggressively treating cardiovascular risk factors that may be associated with the development of CAN. Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, autonomic neuropathy, autonomic nervous system, orthostatic hypotension, heart rate variability
心血管自主神经病变(CAN)是糖尿病自主神经病变的一种常见形式,可导致心率控制异常以及中枢和周围血管动力学异常,并可能增加死亡风险。本文的目的是回顾识别CAN的重要性,并讨论潜在的治疗干预措施。文献检索使用参考数据库Medline、Science Citation Index和Cochrane Library。此外,对检索文章的后续参考文献进行了审查。搜索策略包括使用关键术语,如CAN、心率变异性、直立性低血压和糖尿病。CAN的临床表现包括运动不耐受、体位性低血压、无痛性心肌缺血以及糖尿病患者的生活质量下降。一旦怀疑患有CAN的糖尿病患者,医疗保健提供者应加强对心脏缺血的监测,仔细重新检查处方药物清单,并积极治疗可能与CAN发展相关的心血管危险因素。关键词:糖尿病,自主神经病变,自主神经系统,直立性低血压,心率变异性

Agenesis of gallbladder is rare. It may occur as isolated finding or in association with additional abnormalities. The overall incidence is between 0.01 and 0.04% but there is evidence of a much higher incidence in certain families suggesting a hereditary trait.(1,2) Encountering gallbladder agenesis during operation for gallbladder related pathology is a dilemma and a challenge to an astute surgeon to confirm the diagnosis by searching for it in ectopic sites and also to perform intra-operative cholangiography to locate it. Ectopic sites as listed by Sherson (3) include intrahepatic, left sided, between the leaves of lesser omentum, retroperitoneal and retrohepatic, within the falciform ligament, retroduodenal and retropancreatic. There are three groups of patients with agenesis of gallbladder, those with multiple anomalies, asymptomatic cases and symptomatic cases. Right upper quadrant pain occurs in 90% of the cases, nausea and vomiting in 60% and jaundice in 35%. (4) We treated a 30year old lady with agenesis of the gallbladder and obstructive jaundice.
胆囊发育不全是罕见的。它可能是孤立的发现,也可能与其他异常有关。胆囊发育不全的总发病率在0.01 - 0.04%之间,但有证据表明,在某些家族中发病率要高得多,这表明这是一种遗传特征。(1,2)在胆囊相关病理手术中遇到胆囊发育不全是一个难题,对一个精明的外科医生来说,通过在异位部位寻找胆囊发育不全并进行术中胆道造影定位胆囊发育不全是一个挑战。Sherson(3)列出的异位部位包括肝内、左侧、小网膜叶之间、腹膜后和肝后、镰状韧带内、十二指肠后和胰后。胆囊发育不全患者可分为多发异常患者、无症状患者和有症状患者。90%的病例出现右上腹部疼痛,60%的病例出现恶心和呕吐,35%的病例出现黄疸。我们治疗了一位胆囊发育不全并梗阻性黄疸的30岁妇女。
