Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the results of ultrasound and clinical examination in the diagnosis of inguinal hernia in children and also to evaluate the benefits and complications of ultrasound in these children. Study Design: This study, was performed by a cross-sectional method in Children's Medical Center Hospital during 2013-2014 years and follow up was done until July 2020 with the help of a questionnaire from 70 children who had been referred due to unilateral inguinal hernia symptoms. All 70 children underwent Ultrasonographic evaluation and the results of the ultrasound were compared with the initial clinical examination and then with surgery and follow up. Results: In 95.7% of cases, uni or bilateral inguinal hernia was correctly diagnosed by ultrasound. Ultrasound revealed 13.4% of cases were bilateral and 86.6% were unilateral, all of which were confirmed by surgery. In 17.1% of cases, although they were referred with the chief complaint and clinical examination of unilateral inguinal hernia, Bilateral diagnosis was made for them during the ultrasound, and during the surgery, 75% of them were confirmed to have bilateral inguinal hernia. Conclusion: Ultrasound is effective in diagnosing the opposite side of the hernia in cases with unilateral hernia.

Abstract Aim “Ultrasound may contribute to establish the cause of nonspecific groin complaints. However, the risk is diagnosing an incidental inguinal hernia whereas the pain has an alternative cause. Overtreatment is to be prevented. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of a previously unknown inguinal hernia among working-age men without groin complaints.” Material and Methods “A cross sectional study was conducted in healthy men aged 45-67 years. Men with a Body Mass Index (BMI) > 40, a history of groin complaints, a known inguinal hernia or previous inguinal surgery were excluded. Ultrasound of both groins was performed in supine position with and without a Valsalva manoeuvre by a specialised ultrasound technician in consultation with a radiologist. In all groin ultrasounds showing an inguinal hernia, physical examination was executed by a hernia surgeon.” Results “In the months June and November of 2018, 200 groins of 100 men were analysed. In 16 (16%) men an inguinal hernia was found on groin ultrasound (95% confidence interval [8.8 – 23.2]). In 12 men this was a unilateral inguinal hernia and in 4 men a bilateral inguinal hernia. Ultrasound yielded no other pathology.” Conclusions “In a population of men aged 40-67 years without groin complaints, ultrasound detects an inguinal hernia in 16%. Hence, the probability of wrongly attributing groin complaints to an incidental inguinal hernia, diagnosed on ultrasound, is considerable. ”

To evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic percutaneous extraperitoneal closure (LPEC) for unilateral inguinal hernia in children and effect of intraoperative laparoscopic exploration for finding contralateral patent processus vaginalis (CPPV) on prevention of the metachronous contralateral hernia (MCH). We retrospectively analyzed unilateral inguinal hernia ligation in children, which can be diveded into two groups: a total of 252 cases with open surgical ligation from January 2010 to December 2012 (open group), a total of 184 cases underwent laparoscopic percutaneous peritoneal hernia sac high ligation LPEC from January 2013 to March 2015 (LPEC group). Then, we observed postoperative complications, recurrence of hernia, and the postoperative MCH in the two groups and analyzed the influence factors of the MCH. In Open groups and LPEC groups, the complication incidences, respectively, were 4.4 and 1.6 per cent, having statistical difference ( P > 0.05), the average postoperative follow-up duration, respectively, were 42 months and 22 months, whereas the overall incidence of MCH, respectively, were 5.2 and 0.5 per cent ( P < 0.05). In the first 24 months follow-up time, the overall incidence of MCH, respectively, were 3.6 and 0 per cent. Laparoscopic evaluation was positive for CPPV in 67 cases. We found the prevalence of 56.1 per cent of CPPV in LPEC groups aged 0.6 to 2 years old, finding the incidence gradually decline with the increase of age, until 14.3 per cent to 10 to 12 years old group. Our study shows LPEC has proven efficacy in treatment of unilateral inguinal hernia in children, and routine laparoscopic exploration with this simple maneuver should be actively performed to observe CPPV in all chidren.

This research was conducted to evaluate the knowledge and diagnosis of brain death among resident in Indonesia. This study used an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional study design using a questionnaire. The research subjects consisted of 132 level 2 (after 2 years of residency) and level 3 (after 4 years of residency) residents, the total sampling for which was taken from the departments of Neurosurgery, Anesthesiology, and Neurology at Dr. Soetomo Academic Medical Center Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. Data were taken from November 2018 to January 2019. A total of 132 residents of Neurosurgery, Neurology, and Anesthesiology participated in this study. From the series of studies, residents’ knowledge of the concept of brain death was in the sufficient category (41.7%), residents’ knowledge of the technical diagnosis of brain death was in the good category (40.2%), residents’ knowledge of brain death examination was in the less category (43.2%), and finally, it was found that the resident's knowledge of brain death was in a good category (35.6%). There were also significant differences in knowledge of brain death between Neurosurgery, Neurology, and Anesthesiologist Resident (P <0.001) and knowledge of brain death between level 2 and level 3 residents (P=0.032). In general, the Indonesian resident doctors’ knowledge of brain death is adequate, but knowledge of the clinical examination of brain death is still lacking. Further research must be carried out to promote knowledge of brain death in residents as well as professional doctors/specialists, so that the number of organ transplants, especially in Indonesia, will increase.

Background and Aim: There is insufficient information about the successfully managed Lassa fever (LF) patients in Nigeria. This study aimed to utilize the One Health approach to identify the risk factors for LF infection among LF patients who were managed and on follow-up at the Federal Medical Center, Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was done on 101 LF survivors who were managed and on follow-up at the Federal Medical Center. The data were collected using a semi-structured interviewer-administered questionnaire. The respondents were assessed for symptoms and factors that might have predisposed them to LF, and the data were analyzed with SPSS version 23 (IBM Corp., NY, USA). Those who had more than 3 identifiable risks were categorized as high risk. Descriptive statistics were done, and the association between sociodemographic characteristics and high risk was explored using Chi-square test. Results: The median age of the respondents was 33 years (8-85 years); 62 (61.4%) were male, and 93 (92.1%) have heard of LF before diagnosis. The perceived cause of LF infection among the respondents included the consumption of food contaminated by rats' feces among 57 (56.4%) persons, while 16 (15.8) attributed their infection to contact with LF-infected persons. Among the respondents with primary education and below, 5 (29.4%) were at higher risk for LF infection compared to 7 (8.3%) with secondary education and above (p=0.014). Conclusion: The mass media and other sources of information should be well-harnessed in the communication of risks and preventive practices for LF. Public information campaigns should be organized to discourage bush burning in affected communities.

Background. Diabetic foot ulceration is a devastating complication of diabetes mellitus and is a major source of morbidity and mortality. So far, there are few published data on diabetic foot ulcers and its determinants among diabetic patients on follow-up at Jimma Medical Center. Hence, the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of diabetic foot ulcer and its determinants among patients with diabetes mellitus at Jimma Medical Center. Methods. A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted from June 1 to August 30, 2019, and systematic random sampling technique was applied. The total number of study subjects who participated in the study was 277. Data were collected using an interview-administered structured questionnaire. Data were entered into EpiData version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 20 software for analysis. Analysis was done using descriptive statistics and logistic regression. A variable having a p value of <0.25 in the bivariate model was subjected to multivariate analysis to avoid confounding the variable’s effect. Adjusted odds ratios (AOR) were calculated at 95% confidence interval and considered significant with a p value of ≤0.05. Result. The mean of age of participants was 50.1±14.19 years. More than three-fourths of participants (82.7%) were type 2 DM. The mean duration of diabetic patients was 6.00±5.07 years. The prevalence of diabetic foot ulcer was 11.6% among study participants. According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, previous history of ulceration (AOR=5.77; 95% CI: 2.37, 14.0) and peripheral neuropathy (AOR=11.2; 95% CI: 2.8, 44.4) were independent predictors of diabetic foot ulcer. Conclusion. The prevalence of diabetic foot ulcer was 11.6%. Previous history of ulceration and peripheral neuropathy were associated with diabetic foot ulcer. The health care providers are recommended to thoroughly give emphasis during follow-up of patients who had previous history of ulceration and peripheral neuropathy in order to decrease the occurrence of diabetic foot ulcer.
