We examined twenty-one patients in whom an established nonunion of the scaphoid had been treated with Herbert-screw fixation bone-grafting; our purpose was to determine long-term morbidity procedure (at average forty-eight months; range, seventeen fifty-five months). According modified outcome scoring system, eighteen a good or excellent result. No patient failure hardware. Radial deviation significantly decreased (an 17 degrees; 55 percent) compared that contralateral wrist (p = 0.02). The...
Abstract Background and Aims The environment within prisons, such as overcrowding, lack of access to portable water, poor sanitation, hygiene predisposes inmates infections, including intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs). This study therefore determined the prevalence associated factors IPIs among prison in Southern Ghana. Methods A cross‐sectional using stratified sampling technique was employed. recruited 461 across three notable with 50 from Ho Central, 357 Nsawam Medium Security, 54...
The precise etiology of Kienböck's disease is unclear. Controversy exists regarding the appropriate treatment modality. present study sought to investigate and compare surgical nonsurgical outcomes patients suffering from in province Newfoundland Labrador (NL), Canada.The was a retrospective analysis 66 patients. primary outcome Disabilities Arm, Shoulder, Hand (DASH) score. Student's t test used assess differences between groups. One-way ANOVA time since first assessed an effort examine...
Injuries to the scapholunate can have severe long-term effects on wrist. Early detection of these injuries help identify pathology. The purpose this study was evaluate motions joint in normal wrists a clenched fist and through radial ulnar deviation using novel dynamic computed tomography (CT) imaging.Fifteen participants below 40 years age consented their wrist scanned. Eight were randomized right scanned 7 left Volunteers positioned at back gantry with placed table, palmar side down....
Clavicle fractures are common and optimal treatment remains controversial. Recent literature suggests operative fixation of acute displaced mid-shaft clavicle (DMCFs) shortened more than 2 cm improves outcomes. We aimed to identify correlation between plain film computed tomography (CT) measurement displacement the inter- intraobserver reliability repeated radiographic measurements.We obtained radiographs CT scans patients with DMCFs. Three orthopedic staff 3 residents measured at time zero...
Trichomonas vaginalis is the causative agent for most prevalent non-viral sexually transmitted infection (STI) among women of child-bearing age. In Ghana, although prevalent, there a dearth data on risk factors and symptoms associated with T. infection. This study was conducted 492 visiting gynaecological STI clinics in Volta Region (VR) Greater Accra (GAR) southern Ghana. Wet mount microscopy polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were used to diagnose Infection prevalence 13.2% 18.1% by WMM PCR,...
PurposeFemoral neck fractures in young patients are typically managed with internal fixation using either cancellous screws or a sliding hip screw (SHS). Although preserves the joint, still at risk of complications and poor clinical outcomes which lead to diminished function health related quality life (HRQL). The Fixation Alternative Implants for Treatment Hip Fractures (FAITH-2) pilot randomized controlled factorial trial evaluated effect surgical (cancellous vs. SHS) vitamin D...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) contact tracing and malaria reactive case detection (RACD) are effective strategies for control. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic global attention has received in recent past present hampered control efforts. Among these difficulties finding treating malaria-infected individuals hypoendemic settings community, due to lockdown restrictions by countries. It is common knowledge that cases cannot be identified remain untreated. To sustain gains made...
The long-term consequences of injuries to the scapholunate joint can severely limit hand function, and potential for posttraumatic deformity makes early recognition these important. purpose this study was evaluate motion in normal wrists through radial ulnar deviation using novel dynamic computed tomography (CT) imaging.Fifteen participants consented have their uninjured scanned. A protocol designed ensure adequate time, yet limited exposure, volunteers. Participants began with a relaxed...
Abstract Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide with rising burden in sub-Saharan Africa. Evidence from previous studies suggest high oxidative stress levels CKD patients. Anti-oxidative enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) are impaired disease. Oxidative situations result red blood cell dysfunction, platelet destruction tissue injury. In this study we investigated hematological indices activity during CKD. Methods The utilized...
