A Prospective Study

The Vascular Unit at Suez Canal University Hospital in Egypt covers a wide area with high rates of severe injuries. This is a prospective study of mangled extremities to identify risk factors associated with limb loss in these patients. Between December 2000 and August 2003, a prospective study on all patients with arterial injuries in mangled extremities was undertaken. All patients were scored using the Mangled Extremity Severity Score (MESS) and the Mangled Extremity Severity Index (MESI). During this period, arterial reconstruction was performed in 62 patients. Primary patency, secondary patency, and limb salvage rates were 81%, 85.5%, and 93.5%, respectively. The only factor affecting limb salvage (statistical trend) was the site of trauma (upper limb 100% vs lower limb 89%; p = .08%). There was no significant effect related to the mechanism of trauma (blunt 90% vs stab 100%; p = .125), MESS (< 7, 100% vs > 7, 91%; p = .22), and MESI (< 20, 100% vs > 20, 90.5%; p = .154). Upper limb injuries were the least likely to lead to amputation. We recommend that all injuries, whatever their score, should be surgically explored before treatment decisions are made.

Objective: To evaluate incidence, morbidity and mortalityassociated with eclampsia. Design: A prospective study. Place and Duration: The study which was carried out at PAFHospital Rafiqui, Shorkot spanned over a period of 2½ years from Jun 2002-Dec 2004. Patients and Methods: Thestudy comprises of 55 eclamptic cases diagnosed out of 3391 consecutive deliveries, carried out in our hospital.Results: The incidence of eclampsia, in this study, was found to be 1.62%. Out of 55 cases 38(69.1%) patients wereprimigravida. Forty three (78.2%) of the patients were between the ages of 21 to 30 years. In 50(90.9%) patientsgestational age was less than 35 weeks. Thirty seven (67.3%) cases had antepartum eclampsia. Forty four (80%)patients received diazepam while the remaining 11(20%) received magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) as anticonvulsant.Commonest mode of delivery was spontaneous vaginal delivery \(31 cases, 56.4%) followed by lower caesareansection (21 cases, 38.2%). Fetal loss was seen in 12(20.7%) cases. Two patients died of eclampsia, maternal mortalityrate being 3.6%. Conclusion: Eclampsia is a life threatening complication of pregnancy. However an improvement inantenatal care, upgrading the neonatal facilities and early delivery by cesarean section can improve the perinataloutcome.

A Prospective Study

Hyperselective neurectomy (HSN) procedures in the spastic upper limb aim to reduce tone by excising some branches of the involved peripheral motor nerves, at the point of entry of each motor ramus into the target muscle. In this prospective study, 42 patients with upper limb spasticity were treated by HSN for the muscles of elbow flexion, forearm pronation and wrist flexion and evaluated for their short-term results (average 6 months) and long-term outcomes (average 31 months). Results at both time points showed an effective reduction of the spastic tone, with no decrease of muscle strength in the operated spastic muscles. Comparison of results between the two time points showed durability of the improvement, which remained statistically significant despite a slight relapse in spasticity. The results of HSN compare favourably with the other techniques of partial neurectomy; however, the technique requires a detailed knowledge of upper limb motor anatomy. Level of evidence: II
