Case Presentation: We presented a rare case of MFH in 44 year old woman with history of systemic erythematosus lupus and seizures. Treated with prednisone. The cerebral TAC showed a temporal mass. Craniotomy was performed and the examination of the biopsy sample revealed a giant, pleomorphic and atypical cells. Immunohistochemical analysis showed positivity for vimentin, CD68, Fascin, lysosyme and MIB-1 labeling index of 20%. Pleomorphic malignant fibrous histiocytoma was diagnosed, with involvement of the overlying temporal lobe. We report a case of MFH of the left temporal in adult.

Methodology: A descriptive cross sectional study was carried out among 115 adult surgical in-patients using an interviewer administered structured questionnaire (Patient Satistaction Questionnaire Short Form-PSQ-18). Data analysis was done using SPSS version 17 software. Results: A hundred and fifteen respondents participated in this survey. The mean age of respondents was 40.9 ±16.0 years. Most respondents were male 62 (53.9%). Average overall Original Research Article satisfaction was 63.1%. Of the seven dimensions of patient satisfaction among respondents, financial sub-scale and time spent seeing doctor had the lowest satisfaction ratings of 30.4% and 47% respectively. Technical quality of care (82.6%) was one of the sub-scales patients were most satisfied with. It was observed that it was only with regards to the dimensions of satisfaction with communication, interpersonal aspect of care and satisfaction with access to care that any socio-demographic characteristic showed a significant association with the patient satisfaction. Conclusion: Although, many surgical in-patients were satisfied with the technical quality of care and interpersonal relationship with doctors, most of them find it difficult to pay hospital fees and feel they spend too much time in the process of seeing doctors and accessing other services. There is need for a possible downward review of our fees and efforts geared at shortening waiting time.","PeriodicalId":9249,"journal":{"name":"British journal of medicine and medical research","volume":"6 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83469286","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}

The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of obesity and its impact on blood pressure control amongst hypertensives in a rural hospital setting in NorthCentral Nigeria. Methodology: We recruited 414 hypertensives (204 men, 210 women; age range 21-84 years) adults with arterial hypertension. The blood pressure was measured and data on anthropometric indices were collected using a questionnaire. The weight and height was measured, used to calculate the body mass index and to classify the participants into obese and nonobese. Results: The mean age of the hypertensives was 53.09 ± 12.30 years. Out of the 414 participants, obesity occurred in 183 (44.2%) of the participants and more in those in the 45-54 years age range. Out of these, 93 (50.82%) had class I obesity, 55 (30.05%) class II obesity and class III obesity was found in 35 (19.13%) of the hypertensives. Blood pressure control was poor in 105 (57.4%) and 82 (35.5%) of hypertensives with and without obesity respectively. The BMI correlated with age r=-0.375 p=0.000, systolic blood pressure -0.181 p=0.014 and diastolic blood pressure r=0.439 p= 0.000. Conclusions: The prevalence of obesity is high in hypertensive individuals even in a rural hospital setting and blood pressure control is poor in those who are obese. Public health measures aimed at reducing obesity should be incorporated in the overall management of arterial hypertension.","PeriodicalId":9249,"journal":{"name":"British journal of medicine and medical research","volume":"68 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88430727","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}

Study Design: A retrospective study. Place of Study: Department of Paediatrics, University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt. Methods: Fifty ART-conceived-children (subjects) and 50 spontaneously conceived children (controls) between 2004 and 2013 were studied. The subjects were recruited from the treatment records of The Bridge Clinic, Port Harcourt. Those who gave consent were invited to the paediatric Original Research Article Orazulike et al.; BJMMR, 20(1): 1-8, 2017; Article no.BJMMR.31940 2 clinic of the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH) between January 2014 and June 2014 where they were interviewed with a structured questionnaire. Data collected was collated and analysed with Epi Info Ver. 6.04d. Results: The mean gestational age at delivery (36.3 ± 3.1 versus 38.9 ± 1.2 weeks) and the mean birth weight (2.6 ± 0.8 versus 3.4 ± 0.5 kg) were significantly lower in the cases than controls. There was a higher incidence of congenital anomalies in the ART babies 17(34%) versus 0(0%) [OR 25.24, 95% CI: 3.25 53.19]. Admission into the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) was also significantly higher in the ART babies, 15(30%) versus 3(6%) [OR 6.53, 95% CI: 6.23 30.90]. Conclusion: The children born from ART in Port Harcourt had more adverse outcome than spontaneously conceived children with respect to preterm birth, lower birth weight, neonatal admission and congenital anomalies. Patients should be adequately counseled on these outcomes before they embark on assisted conception.","PeriodicalId":9249,"journal":{"name":"British journal of medicine and medical research","volume":"16 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77154232","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}

Study Design: A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was used. Place and Duration of Study: Data were collected from 571 Jordanian participants in the period between June 2016 and November 2016. Methodology: Participants were Jordanians 18 or older, and visited a hospital (tertiary healthcare centres) in the last three weeks were conveniently recruited. A study questionnaire was constructed by the researcher to assess public satisfaction; it was grounded on previous literature and the author’s personal experience. The satisfaction measurement consisted of 30 variables. Results: The mean age of participants was 34.7 (SD 13.6 years) and most of them were females. Most of the participants (58.8%) were not satisfied and the mean total satisfaction score was low at 159.6 (SD 54.9). Participants who were more educated lived in the southern region, and regularly visited healthcare settings reported lower (not satisfied) satisfaction scores. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that higher proportion of Jordanian patients were not satisfied with the healthcare services provided. The determinants of patients’ satisfaction were not completely dependent on the actual medical or nursing care. The identified determinants of patient satisfaction should inform satisfaction indicators when developing satisfaction measurement tools, whether in clinical or research settings.","PeriodicalId":9249,"journal":{"name":"British journal of medicine and medical research","volume":"51 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86981131","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}
