Potential Risk Factors

Peritonitis is a major reason why patients transfer from peritoneal dialysis (PD) to hemodialysis. We evaluated the peritonitis infection rates In 146 peritoneal dialysis patients who underwent dialysis at our facility between 1 January 1981 and 31 December 1989. Peritonit Is was the primary cause for changing treatment, with 24 (16.4%) of the patients transferring because of this complication. This represented 54.5% of all patients discontinuing CAPD due to method failure. A gamma-Poisson regression analysis was performed in an attempt to Identify potential risk factors associated with an increased Incidence of peritonitis. The results indicated that race, education level, and PD system used were significantly associated with the rate at which peritonitis occurred in our patient population. There was an almost twofold increase in the rate of peritonitis among blacks as compared to whites (2.2 vs 1.2 episodes/patient year). The level of education completed at the start of dialysis had a negative correlation with peritonitis rates. Patients with ≤8, 9–12, and ≥13 years of education had peritonitis rates of 2.4, 1.8, and 1.2 episodes/patient year, respectively. Finally, the system used had a significant effect with our patients on CCPD having lower peritonitis rates as compared to patients on either a connect or disconnect system (0.6 vs 2.5 vs 1.8 episodes/patient year, respectively). Recognizing potential risk factors for peritonitis will help us better understand and address this significant problem in our PD programs. Reducing peritonitis rates should facilitate a decrease in patient transfer due to method failure.

Bovine brucellosis is endemic in Rwanda; however, little information is available on seroprevalence and risk factors. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was conducted among cattle farmed at the wildlife-livestock-human interface (n = 1691) in five districts and one peri-urban district (n = 216). Cattle were screened using the Rose Bengal test, then the results were confirmed by indirect enzyme-linked immunesorbent assay. Potential risk factors were determined with a questionnaire and analyzed for their association with seropositivity. In all districts, the animal and herd-level seroprevalence was 7.4% (141/1907) and 28.9% (61/212), respectively, 8.3% (141/1691) and 30.9% (61/198) at the interface, and 0.0% (0/216) in peri-urban areas. Among the potential risk factors, old age (≥5 years), cattle farmed close to wildlife, herds of cattle and small ruminants, history of abortions, and replacement animals were significantly associated with brucellosis (p < 0.05). Low awareness of zoonotic brucellosis, assisting calving without biosafety protection, drinking raw milk, and manual milking were each observed in more than 21.7% of cattle keepers whose herds were seropositive. This study confirmed brucellosis endemicity in cattle farmed close to wildlife in Rwanda, suggesting the need to focus control efforts in these areas. Educated farmers with a high awareness of zoonotic brucellosis had low bovine brucellosis seropositivity, which emphasizes the importance of education.

Systemic Pathology

Performing a surgical procedure of the small intestine, whether it is a scheduled elective or an emergency event, may be associated with the occurrence of disorders of diverse etiology; either as a result of prior illness, the onset of systemic pathology associated with the surgical event or complications related to the surgery itself. The development of morbidity in patients undergoing intestinal surgery has been outlined in this article on medical and surgical complications. These will be discussed based on clinical manifestations, potential risk factors associated with their occurrence and certain preventive measures.
