A Prospective Study

SummaryIn a prospective study of 2324 women in Matlab, Bangladesh, the occurrence of primary and secondary sterility by age groups was examined. The results were related to the nutritional status of the women, as assessed by measurements of height, weight, arm circumference and ponderal index. There is evidence that nutritional status is an important factor in estimated age at sterility, with thinner women experiencing a slightly earlier menopause.

IntroductionWeight estimation of both adult and paediatric patients is often necessary in emergency or low-resource settings when it is not possible to weigh the patient. There are many methods for paediatric weight estimation, but no standard methods for adults. PAWPER and Mercy tapes are used in children, but have not been assessed in adults. The primary aim of this study was to assess weight estimation methods in patients of all ages.MethodsPatients were prospectively recruited from emergency and outpatient departments in Kigali, Rwanda. Participants (or guardians) were asked to estimate weight. Investigators collected weight, height, mid-arm circumference (MAC) and humeral-length data. In all participants, estimates of weight were calculated from height and MAC (PAWPER methods), MAC and humeral length (Mercy method). In children, Broselow measurements and age-based formulae were also used. The primary outcome measure was the proportion of estimates within 20% of actual weight (p20).ResultsWe recruited 947 participants: 307 children, 309 adolescents and 331 adults. For p20, the best methods were: in children, guardian estimate (90.2%) and PAWPER XL-MAC (89.3%); in adolescents, PAWPER XL-MAC (91.3%) and guardian estimate (90.9%); in adults, participant estimate (98.5%) and PAWPER XL-MAC (83.7%). In all age groups, there was a trend of decreasing weight estimation with increasing actual weight.ConclusionThis prospective study of weight estimation methods across all age groups is the first adult study of PAWPER and Mercy methods. In children, age-based rules performed poorly. In patients of all ages, the PAWPER XL-MAC and guardian/participant estimates of weight were the most reliable and we would recommend their use in this setting.

Background: Adnexal masses are one of the most common pathologies among women of all age groups. Ovarian tumors, alone, represent two thirds of these cases. Malignant ovarian tumors are the fourth most common cause of death in women. Accurate diagnosis is required foremost for proper treatment and management of the patients.Methods: A prospective study done on 100 patients with adnexal masses presenting to Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Kamla Raja Hospital, G.R.M.C, Gwalior from February 2015 to August 2016. Firstly, the cases were studied by ultrasonography then intraoperatively and simultaneous sampling for HPE done. The study included women with clinical symptoms of pain abdomen/ discomfort, bleeding per vaginum, abdominal mass was subjected to ultrasonography, diagnosed with adnexal mass. 100 indicated patients were taken for surgery and intraoperative tissue and fluid samples were taken and sent for HPE.Results: No discordance found regarding laterality of adnexal masses between ultrasonographical findings and surgical findings. 69% cases were devoid of any septation/locules/nodules. Most common pathology found to be ectopic pregnancy. Most common benign ovarian mass encountered was serous cystadenoma (31.1%) and malignant mass was serous adenocarcinoma (12.7%). Apart from 13 malignant adnexal masses, 2 adnexal masses had malignant changes found on histopathological examination. 11 cases were found to be of advanced stage on surgical findings, which then confirmed by HPE.Conclusions: There is positive correlation between ultrasonographical and surgerical evaluation of adnexal masses. Correlation of the lesion’s location and appearance at imaging with the surgical findings will aid in the detection of potential pathology reporting errors.

Growth Deceleration

Introduction: Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by an increased susceptibility to seizures. The ketogenic diet (KD) is currently the most important alternative non-pharmacological treatment. Despite its long history of clinical use, it is not clear how this diet affects longitudinal growth in children. Methods: A prospective study was designed to evaluate growth and nutritional status in 45 children on KD. Growth was assessed by measuring weight, height, and body mass index (BMI). Standard deviation scores (SDS) were calculated for all measurement parameters at KD initiation and at a two-year follow-up. Results: Overall, 45 patients who completed 24 months on KD were enrolled. Median age was 6.6 years (0.8 to 17.3), with a male predominance (n = 23); 74% of the 45 patients were responders on seizure reduction at three months; 26% of patients were non-responders. In our study, using −1 SDS as a cut-off point, growth deceleration was observed in 9% (n: 4) of the patients; however, the nutritional status was maintained or even improved. No correlation with age, sex, or ambulatory status was found. Conclusions: The nutritional follow-up of these patients was helpful to improve overweight and thinness but could not avoid growth deceleration in some of them. These findings confirm that children with refractory epilepsy on KD treatment require careful growth monitoring.
