The objective of this study was to evaluate cerebrospinal fluid adenosine deaminase (CSF-ADA) as an ancillary test for the diagnosis of TBM, and further, its correlation with adverse neurological outcome in these patients. Materials and Methods : This was a prospective study of 83 patients. The diagnosis of TBM was established by Thwaites criteria. CSF-ADA levels were measured in all these patients and were taken to be positive at levels >10 IU/l. These patients were followed up at 1 and 3 months after discharge, and the resultant neurological deficit was measured as per the modified Rankin score and correlated with the initial CSF-ADA levels. Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test, Kruskall-Wallis tests were used for statistical analyses. Results : CSF-ADA values were higher than 10 IU/l in all the 83 patients diagnosed to be suffering from TBM. It was seen that the mean ADA level for patients with stage I/II was 18.23 ± 8.64 IU/l, while it was 31.97 ± 226 004, India.","PeriodicalId":331118,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Nigerian Medicine","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114366148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

NG tubes are frequently used in the clinical setting for the management of patients who require decompression of the gastrointestinal tract, diagnosis and assessment, nutritional support and medication administration.[1,2] The insertion and management of NG tubes are procedures increasingly undertaken by nurses, interns, House officers, Medical Practitioners although, there is a wide variation in practice.[1-3] The use of NG tubes may be associated with complications.[2] Attention to tube size selection, assessment of tube position and the method of securing NG tubes are important components of care of NG tube to minimize the risks of NG tube-related complications and provide for optimal patient safety and comfort. Therefore the aim of this update is to highlight the uses, care and hazards of NG tube.","PeriodicalId":331118,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Nigerian Medicine","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131826180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods : This was a prospective study of 131 patients suspected to have advanced prostate cancer based on clinical presentation, abnormal DRE and elevated PSA (>10 ng/ml), who were evaluated with TRUS prior to prostatic biopsy and the findings correlated with the histologic outcome. Results : The mean prostate size by TRUS was 66.8 g with a range of 15-219 g. The majority of patients with hypoechoic nodules 56.3% (45 of 80) had a malignant histology and the yield was higher among those with both hypoechoic nodules and prostatic capsule invasion 25 (31.3%). Cancer detection in those with mixed echogenicity was next in frequency 33.8% (27 of 80). All the prostates with hyperechoic pattern and most of those with isoechoic appearance had benign histology.

The enlargement of a lymph node, due to primary disease or secondary cause, is of concern to both patients and clinicians, particularly, if the underlying pathology is a malignant disease.

However, a methodological approach to LAP can disclose the accurate diagnosis with minimal discomfort to the patient and in a short time. In this review article, we provide evidence-based clinical evaluation of LAP, guided by the probability of the underlying disease to assist clinicians in establishing the proper cause and hence offer appropriate management.","PeriodicalId":331118,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Nigerian Medicine","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128337836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
