Authors: Hrabia Michał 
Published: October 2024

Le présent article se propose d’examiner le préfixe français sous- et ses équivalents polonais. Dans la première partie, l’auteur expose différentes approches théoriques relatives à la préfixation en sous- (les approches diachronique, cognitive et générative), avant de développer les grandes lignes de sa propre méthode d’analyse : l’analyse sémantico-traductionnelle. Cette méthode permet de révéler la polysémie des préfixes de manière indirecte, à travers des études contrastives. Plus précisément, elle offre la possibilité de dévoiler le répertoire sémantique d’un préfixe dans la langue source en analysant l’inventaire de ses équivalents dans la langue cible. La deuxième partie de l’article offre une illustration concrète de l’application de ladite méthode. Par le biais de recherches dans un corpus composé de deux grands dictionnaires français-polonais, l’auteur identifie sept groupes d’équivalents polonais de sous- (les préfixes pod-, sub-, niedo- ainsi que quelques constructions périphrastiques). Ensuite, il les soumet à un examen sémantique approfondi, ce qui lui permet de dégager quatre valeurs distinctes du préfixe étudié. En fin de compte, l’analyse révèle aussi certaines différences dans la répartition des valeurs distinguées dans l’espace mental du français et du polonais.

Abstract

Background:
Otitis externa is the inflammation of the external auditory canal (EAC); it may be acute, subacute, or chronic in nature and the causative agents are usually bacteria, though occasionally fungi.

Aim:
This study aimed to determine the prevalence of bacterial acute otitis externa (AOE) and the pattern of bacterial isolates in AOE.

Material and Methods:
This was a cross-sectional, hospital-based study involving 100 patients with otitis externa. Patients were recruited from ear, nose, and throat (ENT) outpatient clinic using consecutive sampling technique until the required sample size was achieved. The discharge from discharging ears was taken with ear swabs and evaluated for microbial agents. Data analysis was done using SPSS-IBM version 25.

Results:
A total of 100 patients were recruited; the patients aged from 4 to 57 years (mean age is 18.78 ± 10.67) years, with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1.1. One hundred and twenty-four external ear discharge samples were cultured among 100 study groups, of which bacteria was isolated in 77 (62.1%) and no bacterial agent was isolated in 47 (37.1%). Pseudomonas aeruginosa 32 (41.6%) was the most common bacteria isolated, followed by Staphylococcus aureus – 13 (16.9%); others include Proteus mirabilis – 7 (9.0%), Escherichia coli – 4 (5.2%), Streptococcus pneumonia – 4 (5.2%), Klebsiella pneumoniae – 3 (3.9%), Streptococcus pyogenes – 3 (3.9%), and Enterobacter aerogenes – 2 (2.6%).

Conclusion:
Otitis externa affects all age groups and genders; bacteria are a more prevalent causative agent. The common predisposing factors are the use of objects in scratching or cleaning EAC, use of earpiece, and swimming. The prevalence of bacterial otitis externa was 7.1%, and Gram-negative aerobes are the most prevalent.

Abstract

Background:
Progress in hernia surgery in Nigeria is hampered by poor health-seeking behavior, poverty, and ignorance. The disparity in the quality of health care deliveries between urban and rural areas led to the greater proportions of rural dwellers being grossly underserved. Medical aid programs offer ample opportunities to reduce the burden of hernias in Nigeria. This study aimed to analyze the early outcomes of elective hernia repairs performed during medical outreach programs.

Methods:
This is a retrospective study of 186 patients who had hernia repair between September and November 2019. Patients were recruited from six consecutive medical aid programs held in Niger Delta (Southern) region of Nigeria.

Results:
Overall, 186 patients were evaluated: 159 (855%) males and 27 (14.5%) females. Approximately three-fourths (141, 75.8%) harbored inguinal hernia. Nylon-darn was utilized to repair all inguinal hernias while a simple closure technique was used for all midline hernias. Majority (180, 96.8%) were discharged within 24 h of repair. Spinal anesthesia accounted for 51.6% of all anesthetic techniques used. The overall postoperative complication rate was 17.2%. The most common postoperative morbidity was scrotal edema (8.1%) followed by seroma (4.3%). Age >64 years (P < 0.001), large hernias >3 cm defect (P < 0.001), lower cadre of surgeon (P < 0.001), local anesthesia (P < 0.001) and comorbidity (P < 0.001) were significantly associated with raised morbidity. No mortality was recorded. All complications were managed conservatively.

Conclusion:
Majority of the hernias were of inguinal origin. Scrotal edema was the most frequent postoperative complication, followed by seroma. Advanced age, large hernias, lower cadre of surgeon, comorbidity and local anesthesia were associated with raised morbidity rates.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
It is common practice to reconstruct small nasal defects following the nasal subunits principle but for near-total nasal defects, the best method of reconstruction based on esthetic considerations is still debatable. For large defects that involve both sides of the nose symmetrically, near-total resurfacing results in satisfactory cosmetic outcome. We present a case of a middle-aged man who had nasal resurfacing of the nose with a paramedian forehead flap following the excision of a broad benign cutaneous lesion on a background of long-lasting generalised skin disease.

Authors: Choji Joshua D. , Karago Christopher Y. , Gabkwet Anthony E. , Yiltok Simon J. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Background:
Hand-held Doppler (HHD) is still a very useful tool in the reconstructive surgeon’s armamentarium. One hundred percent specificity in detecting perforators can be achieved with HHD when a perforator compression test is applied. The study aimed to determine the sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) for HHD in the assessment of thoracodorsal artery perforators, by applying the perforator compression test, using the color Doppler ultrasound (CDU) as the standard.

Materials and Methods:
This was a cross-sectional study. The Plastic Surgeon assessed for perforators using HHD on both lateral thoracic areas for each patient, with a re-evaluation of the same locations by a Consultant Radiologist using the CDU. The data generated were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 20, and results were presented in charts and tables. The sensitivity and PPV for HHD were then calculated.

Results:
A total of 70 patients were included, 58 males (82.9%) and 12 females (17.1%). The age range was 18–65 years, with a mean of 31.77 years ± 11.72 years. Overall, 247 perforators were identified by HHD. The true positive, false-positive, and false-negative values for HHD were 127 (51.4%), 120 (48.6%), and 20 (8.1%), respectively. The sensitivity and PPV for the HHD were calculated as 86.3% and 51.4%, respectively.

Conclusion:
The sensitivity of HHD was high while the PPV was much lower compared to other studies. This implies that for patients with positive HHD signals, the probability of having perforators intraoperative is low.

Abstract

Background:
Malaria during pregnancy causes significant maternal and perinatal morbidities and mortality. The World Health Organization recommends intermittent preventive treatment with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP). The reports of SP resistance have prompted the need for alternatives.

Objective:
This study compared the effects of azithromycin (AZ) and SP on maternal malaria during pregnancy among pregnant women in Owo, Ondo State.

Methods and Materials:
A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted among 322 pregnant women who presented for antenatal care and delivery at Federal Medical Centre, Owo, Ondo State. 500 mg AZ was administered to 148 participants on three consecutive days at intervals of every four weeks, whereas 143 participants received SP in accordance with the standard regimen. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics at a 5% level of significance, and outcomes were compared across groups using Chi-square and Student’s t-test.

Results:
The incidence of asymptomatic parasitaemia was 17.2%. Following the administration of the trial drugs, the rates of maternal parasitaemia did not show any statistically significant difference at antenatal follow-up (9 [6.3%] for SP and 12 [8.1%] for AZ [P = 0.360]) and at delivery in both the groups (7 [4.9%] for SP and 5 [3.4%] for AZ [P = 0.360]). The incidence of adverse events and pregnancy outcomes were also comparable between both groups. AZ compared effectively with SP in reducing the risk of having symptomatic malaria during pregnancy. There was no significant difference in maternal peripheral parasitaemia between the two groups.

Conclusion:
Hence, AZ could be considered an alternative to SP for intermittent preventive treatment of malaria during pregnancy.

Abstract

Context:
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an infection involving the respiratory system caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, caused significant mortality and morbidity in the population. Certain studies showed that patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) tend to have worse prognoses. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the role of CVD as a risk factor in COVID-19 disease.

Objectives:
The primary objective was to determine the CVD as a risk factor for death among COVID-19 patients.

Materials and Methods:
This retrospective cohort study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in South India including all patients above 18 years of age who were admitted with COVID-19 disease in the hospital from March 2021 to June 2022. The data were retrieved from the medical records department of the hospital and were recorded in a predesigned data extraction sheet.

Statistical Analysis Used:
Baseline clinical characteristics were shown as mean (standard deviation), median (range), or number (%), with a comparison of characteristics in subjects stratified by case and control through the nonparametric Mann–Whitney U test for continuous variables and Chi-square or Fisher’s exact test for binary variables.

Results:
The study included 1127 COVID-19 patients, 86.2% were discharged, and 13.8% died. Patients aged over 60 years were hospitalised the most (53.2%), with a 16.2% mortality rate. Mild cases (62.9%) had a 2.96% mortality rate, whereas severe/intensive care unit (ICU) cases (10.5%) had a 65.3% mortality rate. Patients with preexisting CVD had a higher mortality rate (32.27%) compared to those without CVD (6.53%). Among specific CVD conditions, coronary artery disease (CAD) patients had a 15.07% mortality rate, while those without CAD had a 13.58% mortality rate, showing no significant difference. Patients with hypertension (HTN) (45.7%) and diabetes (53.2%) had higher mortality rates of 17.08% and 16.66%, respectively, compared to those without these conditions. Other factors such as angina, congestive heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, cerebrovascular accidents (CVA), and chronic kidney disease also showed varying impacts on patient outcomes.

Conclusions:
In our study, 972 (86.2%) patients were discharged and 155 (13.8%) patients were deceased. There was more mortality in male patients (15.4%). Mortality was more in patients <40 years old (21.6%). Severe cases had the greatest number of deaths (65.3%). Patients hospitalised for more than seven days had the highest death percentage (21.6%). More deaths were found in patients with preexisting CVDs, HTN, and diabetes mellitus. Thus, similar kinds of studies are needed in the future for a further warrant and a better understanding of the COVID-19 outcome in patients with CVDs.

Abstract

Introduction:
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is heterogeneous with varied progression rate. This study aimed to identify the baseline clinical characteristics associated with ILD progression within 1, 3 and 5 years of the diagnosis of ILD.

Methods:
This was a prospective, multicentre study — Systematic Sclerosis Cohort Singapore — conducted from January 2008 to February 2021, which included SSc patients with ILD diagnosed by high-resolution computed tomography. Progression of ILD was defined by forced vital capacity (FVC) decline ≥10% predicted or FVC decline 5%–9% predicted, with diffusing lung capacity of carbon monoxide decline ≥15% from the time of ILD diagnosis. Multivariable logistic and Cox regression analyses, adjusting for malignancy and treatment, were performed to determine independent risk factors of ILD progression.

Results:
Of 124 SSc patients with ILD, 47.6% had limited cutaneous SSc, 33.9% had diffuse SSc and 18.5% had SSc-overlap. Progression of ILD was seen in 6%, 15% and 23% of patients within 1, 3 and 5 years, respectively. After adjusting for malignancy and treatment, anti-La was associated with ILD progression within 1 year (odds ratio [OR] 6.94, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.14–42.2; P = 0.04) and 3 years (OR 5.98, 95% CI: 1.31–27.4; P = 0.02), and anti-Scl-70 was associated with ILD progression within 5 years (OR 2.54, 95% CI: 1.05–6.12; P = 0.04). Analysing time to ILD progression as an outcome, anti-La was significantly associated with higher risk of ILD progression (hazard ratio 3.47, 95% CI: 1.18–10.2; P = 0.02). Time to ILD progression was 1.4 years in patients with anti-La versus 6.9 years in patients without anti-La (P = 0.02), and 4.7 years in patients with anti-Scl-70 versus 8.9 years in patients without anti-Scl-70 (P = 0.12).

Conclusion:
In this Asian cohort of SSc patients, autoantibodies may help to predict ILD progression rates.

Published: October 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
The current literature is mixed on which patient factors, if any, predict the rate of successful discharge within 24 h of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to investigate the influence of timing of surgery and physiotherapy on the rate of successful 24-h discharge.

Methods:
All 342 patients who underwent ERAS day surgery TKA from August 2020 to July 2021 were followed up prospectively. Patient characteristics and postoperative outcomes, such as number of physiotherapy sessions required before clearance for home, time taken after surgery to ambulate >10 m and length of stay (LOS), were recorded. Patients were grouped based on surgical end time (morning/afternoon/ evening) and time of physiotherapy review (morning/afternoon/evening/morning after). Patients successfully passed ERAS day surgery protocol if they were discharged within 24 h.

Results:
With regard to the timing of operation, the morning group had the shortest LOS (P = 0.001) and a higher ERAS day surgery pass rate than the afternoon group (P = 0.016). With regard to the timing of physiotherapy, the afternoon group took the shortest time to ambulate >10 m (P < 0.001), had the shortest LOS (P < 0.001) and had a higher ERAS day surgery pass rate as compared to the morning after the operation group (P = 0.005).

Conclusion:
Patients who ended their operations in the morning and received physiotherapy review in the same afternoon were the most likely to be discharged within 24 h due to early ambulation and adequate time for spinal anaesthesia to wear off.
