Authors: Irowa Omorodion Omoruyi , Agbonrofo Peter Ikponmwosa , Odigie Vincent Isibor 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Background:
Colonoscopy is an important armamentarium in the investigation of haematochezia. Patients with haematochezia are very anxious about the presence of blood in their faeces. They are usually referred for diagnostic colonoscopy based on the presence of blood in stool or anaemia.

Aims/Objectives:
To highlight the causes of haematochezia in patients over a 9-year prospective period in the Premier tertiary health centre in the South-South zone of Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:
All Consecutive patients seen in our surgical services (June 1, 2009, to May 30, 2018) requiring colonoscopy for haematochezia were entered into a proforma. The demographics, findings at colonoscopy, and outcome of colonoscopy were analysed.

Results:
Three hundred and sixty-five colonoscopies were done during the study period; of these, 44% (160 patients) had a colonoscopy for haematochezia. Mean age of patients was 54.7 years. Age range was 16–86 years. Cluster age group was fifth to seventh decade (62.5%). The male-to-female ratio was 2:1. Causes of haematochezia were Haemorrhoids 32.5%, large bowel cancer 23.8%, diverticular disease 10%, inflammatory disease of the bowel 6.3%, polyps 3.8%. About 15% of the patients had more than one colonic site of bleeding. The most common subsites for colon cancer were rectum and sigmoid colon (79.6%), in 11 patients (6.8%) was the tumour within reach of the examining finger. Repeat colonoscopy occurred in 3 patients (0.8%). The most common complication of colonoscopy was bleeding (0.8%). Two patients (0.5%) had colonic perforation.

Conclusion:
Forty-four percent (44%) of colonoscopy in Benin, South-South Nigeria has haematochezia as its indication. The cluster age group is the fifth to seventh decade. One in four patients had colon cancer and in 6.8% the tumour was within reach of the examining finger. It is the authors’ opinion that colonoscopy should be routinely done in patients with haematochezia in South-South Nigeria.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Hemopneumothorax is most commonly encountered following trauma. Spontaneous hemopneumothorax is rare. Causes of spontaneous hemopneumothorax include congenital cystic lung diseases, bleeding disorders, collagen vascular diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and complications of lung malignancies. Vascular Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is a life-threatening rare genetic disorder with a high tendency of arterial and organ rupture. Pulmonary complications in vEDS are rare. This report is of a young male presenting with a history of recurrent hemopneumothorax. He was diagnosed with vEDS by identifying a COL3A1 gene mutation. This report emphasizes the importance of genetic studies when young patients present with unexplained and recurrent hemopneumothorax. Genetic counseling and close monitoring are imperative for the prevention of severe complications.

Authors: Deepak T. H , Deshmukh Karan , Subramanian Santhakumar , Jaganathan Venugopal 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Pulmonary nocardiosis is a potentially life-threatening condition that often affects immunocompromised patients. The presentation of this infection can vary, with symptoms ranging from cough, fever, and occasional scanty hemoptysis. It is extremely rare for pulmonary nocardiosis to present with massive hemoptysis. We present a case of massive hemoptysis due to pulmonary nocardiosis in a newly diagnosed diabetic. The management of massive hemoptysis required rigid bronchoscopy and glue instillation to control the hemoptysis, highlighting the importance of airway interventions in the management of nocardiosis.
Blood tubes potassium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid in comparison to calcium disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid for calcific band keratopathy
Authors: Abusayf Mohammed M. , Tobaigy Mohannad F. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract:
This study aims to report a case of dense calcific band keratopathy (CBK) treated with calcium disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (CaNa2EDTA) and dipotassium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (K2EDTA). A 12-year-old female with chronic Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome and glaucoma presented with dense CBK in her right eye (OD). We used CaNa2EDTA followed by K2EDTA to enhance the chelation process. No adverse events were observed, and 1-year posttreatment, the patient showed no recurrence. Our findings suggest that K2EDTA can complement and enhance the effect of CaNa2EDTA, offering a cost-effective and readily available alternative. We acknowledge that the simultaneous use of two chelating agents in the same case may limit the conclusiveness of our findings regarding their individual efficacy. However, based on previous reports, we believe the significant clearing effect observed is primarily attributable to K2EDTA rather than a combined effect.
Influence of growth stages and soil types on performance of rice (<i>Oryza sativa L.</i>) accessions grown in flooded paddy soil
Authors: Onuoha S.C , Ukwa J.N. 
Published: August 2024

Soil and its microorganisms have for long been known to contribute to the performance of plant with regards to nutrient availability and uptake, therefore knowledge of its properties and its role is very vital in crop productivity. The study focused on assessing the structure of microbial communities in the rhizosphere of rice plants in Ebonyi State, considering soil types, rice varieties, and plant growth stages. Soil samples were collected from paddy fields, sieved, and flooded with ionized water before planting four rice accessions from the Biotechnology Research Centre of EBSU. Physicochemical parameters of the soils were analyzed, showing slightly acidic pH levels, various fractions of sand, organic carbon, organic matter, and essential nutrients like calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Pore water analysis revealed the presence of organic and inorganic ions, with higher concentrations of certain ions in planted soils compared to unplanted ones. The microbial population differed significantly between planted and unplanted soils, with varying effects of different rice accessions on microbial load. The study also observed changes in microbial populations at different growth stages of rice plants, with the microbial load decreasing as plants grew. The findings suggest that selecting adapted rice cultivars can enhance yields, reduce fertilizer usage, and improve food security. This research provides valuable insights for rice farmers and breeders to optimize productivity.

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) and Avocado (Persea americana) seeds are often considered as byproducts or waste in the food industry. This study investigated the fatty acid profile of oil derived from the seeds of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) and avocado. Soxhlet extraction protocol was used to extract the oils, and their fatty acid compositions were analyzed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The main fatty acids identified and quantified include saturated fatty acids (SFAs), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). The investigation revealed that the oil derived from Watermelon seeds (Citrullus lanatus) contained more unsaturated fatty acids than the oil from Avocado seeds (Persea americana). However, oil extracted from avocado seeds (Persea americana) has a larger percentage of monounsaturated fatty acids than oil extracted from watermelon seeds (Citrullus lanatus). As a result of its high concentration of essential oils, the oil derived from these two seed sources has the potential to be used in the food and cosmetics industries. The study's findings also shed light on the nutritional significance of these oils, particularly critical fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6. In conclusion, the study on the fatty acid profile of oils extracted from watermelon and avocado seeds holds promise for uncovering valuable information with implications for nutrition, health, agriculture, and industry.

Published: August 2024

Esse artigo analisa a desigualdade e a necessidade de movimento da população entre classes de renda e entre os municípios das Mesorregiões Diferenciadas do Sul do Brasil para se chegar à distribuição de renda esperada. Foram utilizados como indicadores de desigualdade o movimento virtual da população (m) e o movimento virtual relativo de população (índice de dissimilaridade - d), a partir de dados do Censo Demográfico. Os resultados mostram que a Mesorregião Grande Fronteira do Mercosul apresenta maior desigualdade e maior necessidade de movimento da população entre as classes de renda e entre os municípios. Além disso, essa desigualdade aumentou entre 2000 e 2010 em boa parte dos municípios dos estados do Rio Grande do Sul e Paraná e diminuiu nos municípios de Santa Catarina. Na Mesorregião Metade Sul do Rio Grande do Sul, a desigualdade é menor e apresenta índices menores para a necessidade de movimento da população entre classes de renda e entre os municípios dessa mesorregião, além de uma tendência de redução entre 2000 e 2010.
Abstract: This paper analyzes inequality and the need for population movement between income classes and between municipalities in the differentiated regions of Southern Brazil to reach the expected income distribution. The virtual population movement (m) and the relative virtual population movement (dissimilarity index - d) were used as indicators of inequality, based on data from the Demographic Census. The results show that the Great Border Region of Mercosul presents greater inequality and a greater need for population movement between income classes and between municipalities. Furthermore, this inequality increased between 2000 and 2010 in most municipalities in the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Paraná Stats and decreased in the municipalities of Santa Catarina. In the Mid-South Region of Rio Grande do Sul, inequality is lower and presents lower rates for the need for population movement between income classes and between municipalities in this mesoregion, in addition to a reduction trend between 2000 and 2010.
