Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the applicability of computer-assisted hexapod fixators in dogs and to consider the advantages and disadvantages during implementation. Materials and Methods This was a prospective study. The study material consisted of 11 deformed extremities of 6 dogs. The correction plans were defined according to multiple extremity radiographs of the dog and the clinical evaluation of deformities. All measurements were uploaded to Click2Correct software program. Latent, correction and consolidation periods of each dog were recorded. The hexapod external fixators were removed after completion of the correction. Results Data were adapted to the radiographic navigation software to be used during operation and postoperative period. The latent period ranged from 3 to 20 days, the correction period ranged from 7 to 20 days and the consolidation period ranged from 39 to 81 days. It was concluded that special fixators can be used in dogs with complex antebrachial deformities. Clinical significance The ability to perform six axes correction at the same time has a considerable advantage, especially in dogs with complex antebrachial deformities. It is practical to use this fixation system in dogs with antebrachial deformities.

A Prospective Study

Infections caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) are major public health problems globally. The objective of this study is to assessed risks for GC acquisition in lesbian women in a prospective study. We used comprehensive computer-assisted self-interview (CASI) to assess behavioral risks. Women were followed for 18-months with interval examinations for genital symptoms at any time. PCR for GC-associated bacteria (GCAB) were applied to vaginal fluid obtained at enrollment. Of 467 participants, 134 women (28.7%) had GC at enrollment and were excluded from the longitudinal analysis of risks for GC acquisition, which thus included 333 participants. These 333 women who not have GC at the enrollment visited 277returned for at least one follow-up visit. Median duration of follow-up for these 277 women was 18 months and 95 episodes of GC occurred among these 277 women. Furthermore; analysis the sexual behavioral data which revealed a direct dose-response relationship with increasing numbers of reported episodes of receptive oral-vulvo-vaginal sex. The corresponding estimated relative risk (RR) of 1.02 per act translates to a 31% increase in risk of GC for each additional 10 such acts in the last three months. A similar association with receptive oral-anal sex did not reach statistical significance. Furthermore, the multivariate model of risks for acquisition of GC included a composite variable that was based on detection of any positive PCR assay for the bacteria that were significantly associated with subsequent GC.

A Prospective Study

Objective: To find out the advantages and disadvantages of ultrasonic tonsillectomy by harmonic scalpel.Design and setting: A prospective study was conducted over a period of five years; from 01.07.2005 to 30.06.2010 in Comfort Nursing Home, 167B, Green Road, Dhaka, Bangladesh.Results: Hospital admitted 540 cases of ultrasonic harmonic scalpel tonsillectomy were included and analyzed. 360 cases were male; whereas 180 cases were female in this study. 0-10 years (168 cases) were the commonest age group of study people. Complications were rare, only two cases 0.37% of secondary hemorrhage had happened and no cases of reactionary hemorrhage was reported.Conclusion: The advantages are almost no bleeding, precise dissection of tonsils, less post operative pain, reduce postoperative discomfort, earlier return to normal activities, oral feeding immediately after operation and less operative time. Key words: Ultrasonic tonsillectomy; Harmonic scalpel. DOI: 10.3329/bjo.v16i2.6843Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol 2010; 16(2): 91-95
