Carcinoma Stomach

Background: Carcinoma stomach, a major killer cancer all over the world, is still presenting late in developing countries due to delay in early diagnosis, lack of awareness, infrastructure etc. Objectives: To establish the importance of preoperative evaluation on operability of carcinoma stomach. Methods: Sixty clinically and histopathologically diagnosed ca stomach cases who underwent surgery in department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, and Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka in 2011 were assessed with clinical picture, investigations, preoperative evaluation and peroperative findings were recorded. Z test for proportion was used to assess clinical decision predictability with a p value of :s;0.05 as significant. Results: Male (73.33%) predominant with 2.75:1 male:female ratio was observed. Mobility, fixity and abdominal lymphadenopathy were not well detected through clinical assessment (p=0.001) while ascites, metastasis and Shelf of Slummer were similar in both clinical and operative finding. The endoscopy of upper GIT finding gave a unique picture as the findings were almost same as were found during operation. USG detected a lesser proportion of the clinical condition compared to peroperative condition whereas CT performed better than the USG except for the lesion detection. Though Computed Tomography (CT) detected higher percentage of lesion, metastasis, ascites and lymph node involvement compared to ultrasonogram (USG), it was significantly higher only for lesion detection (p=0.002) and lymph node involvement (p=<0.001). In the similar manner USG assessment of lesion detection (p=<0.001) and lymph node involvement (p=0.003) was significantly low compared to operative finding. When we looked between CT and operative finding only lesion detection was significantly low (p=0.01) indicating CT to be most effective predictor of clinical picture for operative decision. Preoperative plan were mostly not in accordance with peroperative decision except for total gastrectomy. Conclusion: The study indicates weakness in clinical detection and pre-operative plan compared to per-operative finding. Hence combination of clinical feature and investigation tools especially endoscopy of upper GIT combined with CT is recommended to predict a better operative decision.

ABSTRACT A case of pseudohypoparathyroidism with positive Ellsworth-Howard-test is reported. In spite of this result is was possible to confirm by phosphate clearance Albright's hypothesis of non-responding target organ; for parathyroid-extract augmented only phosphate-filtration but not the reabsorption of phosphate, as it is to be expected in hypoparathyroidism. As a clinical feature there is a considerable polyarthrosis.

Persistent Bronchial Asthma

The aim: To study the clinical and spirographic features persistence of the bronchial asthma in schoolchildren against the background of the alternative daily doses of inhaled corticosteroids to increase the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory therapy for this disease. Materials and methods: A complete comprehensive clinical-paraclinical examination of 65 schoolchildren with persistent asthma was conducted. According to the average daily dose of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) the patients were divided into two clinical groups. The first (I) group consisted of 46 children who received ICS in the regimen of low-to-medium equipotent doses (253.95±9.98 μg per day), and the second (II) comparison group was formed of 19 patients who controlled the pBA using high doses of ICS (494.74±5.56 μg per day). Results: The patients of the І clinical group compared to patients of the ІІ group have a higher risk of the mild bronchial obstructive syndrome during asthma attacks. In assessing the level of control of persistent bronchial asthma using the CIA-scale, it was found that in II group cases of the controlled course of the disease were observed almost two times less than in children of the I group of comparison. In conducting spirography in children of comparison groups, it was shown that the ratio of indices of bronchospasm (FEV1/ FVC) was worse in patients receiving high doses of ICS. Conclusions: So, сharacteristic clinical feature of asthma controlled by high doses of ICS is more severe nature of bronchial obstructive syndrome during the period of exacerbation (OR=1.9-3.0). In the management of persistent bronchial asthma, the Gensler index which has high specificity (94.4%) and accuracy (92.2%) should be used for disease control verification.

Background: The most striking clinical feature of soft tissues sarcomas (STS) is their ability to recur. At present disputes about the clinical and morphological factors of STS recurrence such as the degree of malignancy, size, location, depth of tumor location, patient’s age and the presence of previous relapses in the anamnesis do not subside. It also requires clarification of the effect of the volume of tissues removed on the long-term results of treatment of STS as well as indications for the application of various regimes of remote radiation therapy. Materials and methods: Of 1802 registered cases of STS of extremities at the N.N. Petrov National Medical Research Center of Oncology from 2004 to 2016 there were selected data on 213 patients who suffered from at least one relapse of the disease. There was performed an assessment of overall, non-metastatic and disease-free survival using a single-factor (the Kaplan-Meier method) and multivariate analysis (the Cox regression model). Conclusion: The detection of various prognostic factors of locally recurrent STS allows determining the necessary treatment tactics (the vastness and traumatism of surgery and the advisability of radiation therapy).

Background: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is defined as a sudden loss of hearing, usually unilateral, of more than 30 dB in 3 contiguous frequencies of the tonal audiometry. SSNHL estimates an incidence ranging from 5 to 20 per 100.000 people per year. In approximately 75% of cases, a cause cannot be identified. However, it could be a clinical manifestation of Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS). Objective: This review will focus on the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of the SLE and APS associated SSNHL. Methods: We searched in PubMed, Scopus, Lilacs, and Cochrane reviewing reports of Sudden sensorineural hearing loss in SLE and/or APS. Articles written in English and Spanish, and were available in full text, were included. Results: In patients with SLE, bilateral involvement was frequent. Antiphospholipid antibodies were positive in the majority of the patients. Corticosteroids were the mainstay of the treatment. The auditory prognosis was poor with total hearing loss recovery reached in only 22% of patients. : On the other hand, most of the patients with SSNHL and APS were males and presented associated symptoms such as vertigo, tinnitus and/or headache, 75% had bilateral disease. Lupus anticoagulant and aCL were found in equal proportions, all patients were anticoagulated, and aspirin was associated in 25% of the cases. Complete resolution or improvement of symptoms was observed in 25% of the patients. Conclusion: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss, can be a clinical feature of SLE and APS. Treating physicians should be aware of this devastating complication, especially when bilateral involvement occurs.

Herpès Virus

Mareks diseases (MD) is a lymphoproliferative disease of chicken affecting all organs including skin. Mareks disease is become a menace to the poultry industry owing to the serious economic loss. MD is caused by herpes virus with three serotype of MDV (Carter et al., 2006). MD is a very serious problem and it produces up to 60% of mortality in layers and 10% of mortality in broilers. Epidemiological data recorded average about 10–40% flock mortality (Arulmozi et al. 2011). The clinical feature of MD is characterized by paralysis of the wings, legs and neck with lameness, depression and death occurred. The present paper reports the occurrence of MD in Aseel chicken.
