Duration of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment predicts recovery of retinal sensitivity
Authors: Rose Rose
Published: August 2021

The decision to treat a disease is often based on the presence or absence of symptoms, one prototype case being rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Detachment of the neural retina from the pigment epithelium is a major cause of anatomical and functional dysfunction of the retina, where retinal recovery is inversely related to duration of detachment. The purpose of retinal reattachment is to effect recovery of the photoreceptors and pigment epithelium from degeneration. The aim of this study was to determine the critical duration of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment resulting in optimal retinal recovery after reattachment. A prospective study was conducted at a private hospital in Yogyakarta. Thirty five eyes were involved in this study. Three months after reattachment, central retinal recovery was measured by means of a Goldmann manual kinetic perimeter. The results showed that retinal recovery developed three months after surgery if the onset of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment was less than 28 days before surgery. The results were not significant if the onset of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment was more than 35 days. Although the Goldmann manual kinetic perimeter can efficiently detect central retinal sensitivity, it should be supported by more sensitive tools to evaluate the anatomy and function of the retina.

Published: August 2021

Disorders of the musculoskeletal system constitute a considerable health problem in industrialized societies. Low back pain (LBP) remains a common and costly problem among the workers. Workplace injuries, primarily musculoskeletal disorders, are a persistent problem for nursing. A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate prevalence of LBP as well as the potential risk factors associated with LBP. These potential risk factors include individual characteristics, job duration, type of work, and manual handling knowledge and practice. Seventy-six subjects consisting of 30 nurses and 46 administrative workers were recruited into the study. Symptoms of LBP cases were assessed by means of a simple questionnaire, and the diagnosis of LBP was confirmed by clinical examination. The study showed that the overall point prevalence rate of LBP was 42.1%, while the overall 12-month prevalence rate was 69.7%. Occupational group and manual handling practice were independent predictors for point prevalence of LBP. Nursing occupation significantly increased the risk of point prevalence rate of LBP by 2.703 (95% C.I. OR 1.046 – 6.984) compared to administrative workers. Nurses with frequent manual handling practice had a 2.917-fold higher risk of developing a point prevalence of LBP, although this risk was statistically not significant (OR=2.917;95% C.I. 0.094-3.003). The study indicates that an association exists between manual handling practice and LBP prevalence.
Imaging of common bile duct stones
Authors: A Nurman A Nurman
Published: August 2021

The gallbladder serves as the repository for bile produced in the liver. However, bile within the gallbladder may become supersaturated with cholesterol, leading to crystal precipitation and subsequent gallstone formation. Gallstone is one of the most common gastrointestinal diseases in clinical practice. Common bile duct stone may be silent and symptomless; alternatively the stone can cause acute cholangitis with jaundice, pain and fever and acute pancreatitis. Imaging of the gallbladder is typically requested for evaluation of right upper quadrant pain in patients with or without fever and jaundice. Hence,imaging is central to the investigation and diagnoses of choledocholithiasis. There are many options in the field of imaging of choledocholithiasis from a simple to more sophisticated examinations. Ultrasonography (US) has been the traditional modality for evaluating gallbladder disease, primarily owing to its high sensitivity and specificity for both stone disease and gallbladder inflammation. However, US is limited by patient body habitus, with degradation of image quality and anatomic detail in obese individuals. With the advent of faster and more efficient imaging techniques, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has assumed an increasing role as an adjunct modality for gallbladder imaging. MR imaging allows simultaneous anatomic and physiologic assessment of the gallbladder and biliary tract. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography is excellent for identifying the presence and the level of biliary obstruction. With newer diagnostic imaging technologies emerging, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is evolving into a predominantly therapeutic procedure.

Authors: Darma Emile Satia , Afandi Akhsyim
Published: August 2021

Research aims: This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic corporate governance mechanisms on the performance of Islamic banks. Besides, it also analyzes the effect of risk profiles, especially those that are directly related to bank financing, on the performance of Islamic Banks.Design/Methodology/Approach: Sharia banks that become the objects are Sharia Commercial Banks (SCB) and Sharia Business Units of Conventional Banks (SBU). This study uses data from 20 sharia banks (11 SCB and 9 SBU). The analytical tool used in this study is panel data regression.Research findings: The results show that the meeting frequency of the Board of Commissioners, Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB), Financing to Deposits Ratio (FDR), and bank size have a significant positive effect on the performance of Islamic banks. Non-Performing Financing (NPF) has a significant negative effect on the performance of Islamic banks.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study utilized Stakeholders theory, Maqoshid Sharia concept, and corporate governance to investigate the role of Islamic corporate governance mechanisms and risk management on sharia Banks performance.Practitioner/Policy implication: The implication of this study is that SSB activities had a direct and robust influence on Islamic Banks, which have relatively larger assets. Hence, the task of the Sharia Supervisory Board should not be limited to only monitoring the conformity of transactions with sharia but also providing input so that banks can increase their profits in line with sharia.Research limitation/Implication: The limitation in this study is the number of corporate governance variables that was limited.

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif serta menggunakan data sekunder dan data primer yang berasal dari Kepala Balai Pengelolaan Sampah DLHK serta Kepala Dusun Ngablak, Nglengkong dan Banyakan III. Selanjutnya dalam mengolah data penulis menemukan bahwasanya saat ini DLHK memenuhi kriteria collaborative governance. Akan tetapi, dalam mengimplementasikannya pemerintah dinilai kurang berhasil karena banyaknya indikator ekologi politik dan pembangunan berkelanjutan yang tidak terpenuhi.

Background: Abnormal EEG is a predictor of seizure relapse. Obtaining data related to the diagnosis and outcome of the first seizures is necessary for improving care for these patients, whereas data for these studies is scarce and is limited to a few a few centres. The aim was evaluation of the EEG changes in patients with first suspicious movements of seizure.Methods: All of the patients with first suspicious movements of seizure referred to Alavi hospital of Ardabil from March 2019 to March 2020 enrolled in this study. Data including age, gender, etiology of the seizure, seizure type and EEG changes gathered. Collected data were analyzed by statistical methods in SPSS version 21.Results: 71 patients were studied. Based on the seizure type, 50 (70.4%) patients had motor, 10 (14.1%) patients had nonmotor and 11 (15.5%) patients had focal seizures type impaired awareness. EEG findings were normal in 46 patients (64.8%). There were slowing waves and epileptic discharge in 12 (16.9%) and 13 (18.3%) patients, respectively. Abnormal EEGs recorded in routine modality in 16 patients (64%), H. V. modality in 2 patients (8%), Ph. S. modality in 2 patients (8%) and both routine and excitatory modalities in 5 (20%) patients.Conclusions: There was not a significant relationship between EEG findings and age, gender, seizure etiology and seizure type. Also there was not a significant relationship between abnormal waves in different modalities and type and etiology of the seizures.

Published: August 2021

Background: The association of an abscess and/or fistula with the fissure is not identification. Data on the treatment strategy is not clear and also indefinite.Methods: The aim of this study was to search for the prevalence of a fistula in patients with chronic anal fissure (CAF). All of the patients were examined by physicians specialized and experienced in proctology. They were registered on standardized forms. Patients who described discharge after chronic anal pain in their anamnesis also worked on these forms. All of the patients included in the study had a CAF and an anal fistula developed on the basis of anal fissure.Results: Patients who underwent surgery for anal fistula between 2011-2020 were analyzed rectospectively. Nineteen patients (2.6%) had a fistula due to CAF. Twelve (62%) of the patients had superficial fistula, 7 (38%) had type 1 fistula. Fistulectomy and internal sphincterotomy were performed in patients with superficial fistula developed on the basis of CAF. In patients with type 1 anal fistula developed on the background of CAF, only fistulotomy was performed. The mean recovery time of the patients was 14 days and the mean duration of symptoms was 4 days.Conclusions: It is the determinant of CAF in the success of the treatment of anal fistula developing on the basis of CAF. Adequate sphincterotomy is successful in the treatment of CAF and anal fistula developing on the fissure background.

Authors: Nandi Ritwika , Das Pinaki , Nandi Sujit Narayan
Published: August 2021

Background: Juxta articular giant cell tumors around the knee constitute 50-60% of the total cases reported. If the disease is detected at an advanced stage, reconstruction of the joint after tumor excision poses problems and has poor functional outcome. The aim of the study was to determine the functional outcome after resection of juxta-articular giant cell tumors around the knee and its reconstruction with mega prosthetic arthroplasty will be analyzed.Methods: Between January 2017 and March 2021, 14 patients in the age group of 28-48 years (mean=42.85 years) with Campanacci stage three giant cell tumors around the knee were studied (12-distal femur patients, 2-proximal tibia). Patients underwent tumor excision and reconstruction with modular megaprosthesis. They were evaluated post-operatively using the Revised Musculoskeletal Tumor Society Score (MSTS) for lower limb.  Results: All the patients were followed up for 12-44 months (mean=29.5 months), the average knee flexion at 6 months being 116.4 degrees. The mean MSTS at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months are 19.45, 23.23, 26.61 and 28.77 respectively. Complications observed were infection and tumor recurrence.  Conclusions: In advanced cases where tumor excision leaves large bone segment loss, reconstruction with megaprosthesis can give desirable functional outcome.

Background: Pancreatitis has been recognized since antiquity. Acute pancreatitis is an acute inflammatory process of the pancreas with variable involvement of other tissues or remote organ systems, presenting with variable clinical and systemic manifestations, presenting with mild self-limiting disease to severe life-threatening multi-organ failure.Methods: This was a prospective study of 60 patients, who were admitted with the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis (AP) during the period from December 2017 to June 2019. The data was collected from the all the patients who met the inclusion criteria, and recorded in the proforma prepared for the study.Results: Out of 60 patients 86.7% were male and 13.3% were female. The highest incidence was noted in 40-51 years age group (35%). Alcohol was the most common cause (75% patients). Abdominal pain was the most common mode of presentation (100%), and epigastric tenderness was the most common sign (100%). More than 3-fold elevation of serum amylase and lipase was seen in 26.7% and 33.3% of patients respectively. USG and CT scan was diagnostic only in 58.5% and 76.7% of patients respectively. All patients were managed conservatively. There was no mortality.Conclusions: In AP patients one should not only rely on enzyme level elevations for diagnosing AP. Patients with only a small increase in amylase and/or lipase levels or even with normal levels may also have or develop acute pancreatitis. High degree of suspicion is required; USG, CT scan and enzyme levels study are complimentary to the clinical suspicion.

Published: August 2021

Background: Gallstones and cholecystitis are very common pathologies in surgical practice. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the preferred procedure to remove the gallbladder (GB) worldwide. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the merits and demerits of placing drain after LC and to find out the clinico-pathologic conditions in which the placement of drain was justifiable.Methods: 100 patients who underwent LC were divided into 2 groups, group A (patients with drain) and group B (patients without drain). Interventional type, single-blind study was done. Complete history, evaluation and relevant data of both groups were done and analysed using descriptive statistics and Chi square test.Results: In group A, 44% were males and 56% females whereas in group B, 42% were males and 58% were females. There was a statistically significant difference (p value<0.05) between 2 groups in Visual analog scale (VAS) grading. Wound infection was seen in 14% in group A and 02% in group B; mean hospital stay in group A was 8.38±1.86 days and in group B was 4.68±1.25 days. Nausea and vomiting were noted in 46% among group A and 04 % among group B.Conclusions: Placement of drain after LC has nothing to offer, in contrast, it was associated with more pain. It would be reasonable to leave a drain if there was worry about an unsolved or potential bile leak only.

Published: August 2021

Background: Several modalities are available for upper ureteric stone fragmentation. From them pneumatic and holmium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet lithotripsy has favourable outcomes. In this study we studied 50 patients who underwent ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy or laser lithotripsy. This study aims to to compare the outcome of PL and LL in the management of upper ureteric calculi.Methods: This is a prospective, randomized study of 50 cases; 25 cases of TUL with pneumatic lithotripter and 25 cases of TUL with laser lithotripter over two years. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors predicting the stone-free rate, assess the complications following PL and LL, and assess the need for a second procedure if retropulsion of calculi occurs.Results: Two groups were similar in age, gender, mean size of stones, retropulsion and complications. There was a statistical difference in terms of stone free rate in favour of LL group (p≤0.05) and mean operative time in favor of the PL group (p≤ 0.05). Conclusions: In conclusion, we found that both the PL and LL approaches were effective and safe for upper ureteric calculi, but the LL method had advantages, especially in stone free rate, over the PL treatment. Another advantage of the LL method was safe stone fragmentation in upper ureteral calculi due to lower retropulsion rate in contrast with the PL method.
Magnet assisted laparoscopic surgery: first Indian experience
Authors: A. Prem Kumar
Published: August 2021

Background: The problems associated with shaft-based instrumentation include restricted manoeuvrability, restricted visibility and sword fighting of instruments. One of the easiest solutions is to reduce the number of working ports. A unique approach is by the use of a natural force of nature i.e.; magnetism. In this study, we have tried to incorporate the properties of magnetism and magnetic substances to the advantage of surgeons and hence, patients.Methods: The magnet employed in our study is a 3500 Gauss magnet, of 15×10 cm which was placed over the anterior abdominal wall in a sterile manner. The magnet was moved along the anterior abdominal wall in order to manipulate and mobilize intra-abdominal tissue. Laparoscopic bull dog clamps as well as B. P. handles were used intra-peritoneally to grasp tissue, which in turn are mobilised by the magnet. The end point evaluated was of safety and feasibility to adequately mobilize and manipulate organs to achieve effective exposure for dissection.Results: In total, we have successfully completed 15 surgical procedures using magnet assisted tool. Eight patients underwent magnet assisted laparoscopic appendectomy. three patients underwent magnet assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Four patients underwent magnet assisted mesh repair for ventral hernias. None of the patients developed magnet related complications.Conclusions: Magnet assisted laparoscopic surgery is feasible and easy to use. The cost can be minimal. This is a new concept that is here to stay and will become integrated into many other forms in the future. In the rapidly evolving world of surgery, with invasiveness of surgery on the downward trend, magnetism may be the answer to the next leap in surgery: non-invasive surgery.

Published: August 2021

Background: Imaging techniques such as ultrasound and CT (computerised tomography) offer to improve clinical outcome by increasing the accuracy of diagnosis. Ultrasound has the great advantage of being radiation free, however it is operator dependant. In comparison, CT can overcome these limitations and greater sensitivity in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis, with reported accuracies of 93-98% but it is expensive and not available at all centre, particularly in countries, like India. Hence we need a scoring system such as MASS (modified Alvarado scoring system) and RIPASA (Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha appendicitis) scoring system with good sensitivity and specificity. Aim of the present study was to explore the disease on clinical presentation and to compare both scoring systems in diagnosis of acute appendicitis and correlating both the scoring systems with the intra-operative findings.Methods: This was a prospective study done between October 2019 and October 2020 on hundred patients who underwent appendicectomy at Kempegowda institute of medical sciences and research centre, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.Results: In the study among subjects with appendicitis, there was significant association between combined MASS and RIPASA score and intra-operative findings.Conclusions: In the study combined MASS and RIPASA score with correlated intra-operative findings had diagnostic accuracy in prediction of acute appendicitis.
