During the course of treating 54 severely hypertensive patients with parenteral hexamethonium bromide, we-have observed development unexpected pulmonary dyspnea and associated radiographic changes in lungs three cases after 7, 9, 12 months' therapy respectively.Two these came to autopsy; third has recovered.The object this paper is record clinical, radiological, pathological aspects changes.Complications such as disabling headaches, cardiac enlargement, or renal damage were present all...
What's known on the subject? and What does study add? It is that men of African descent in USA Jamaica have both a higher incidence prostate cancer mortality than Caucasian men, but it unclear whether they worse pathological biochemical recurrence (BCR) outcome their counterparts after radical prostatectomy (RP) for cancer. We found African‐American (AA) present at younger age mean PSA level Caucasian‐American (CA) Afro‐Caribbean (AC; Jamaican) with highest level, Gleason score tumour stage...
Summary Hypogonadism, which is highly prevalent in men with sickle cell disease ( SCD ), affects quality of life and causes great morbidity. The safety testosterone replacement therapy TRT ) relation to priapism episodes relatively unknown. Our aim was monitor the a cohort seven hypogonadal . Testosterone undecanoate N ebido) 1 g administered intramuscularly adult homozygous (Hb SS having hypogonadism [serum total ≤12.0 nmol/L (346 ng/dL), reference range 12.5–38.1 (360–1098 ng/dL)] for 12...
RDITISNAL 1299 increased.No evidence has been obtained why this phenomenon is seen to such a varying degree in all clinical groups, or there maximum level of tolerance for particular patient. SummaryA study presented 39 hypertensive patients on treatment with hexamethonium bromide by subcutaneous injection.The were drawn from the com- plicated-essential, malignant, renal groups hyper- tension, and uncomplicated cases not included.Details routine general management are given, as it felt that...
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has been reported to reduce the bone mineral density (BMD) in men with prostate cancer (CaP). However, Afro-Caribbeans are under-represented most studies. The aim was determine effect of androgen on Jamaica. study consisted 346 Jamaican men, over 40 years age: 133 ADT treated CaP cases (group 1), 43 hormone-naïve controls 2) and 170 hormone naïve without 3). Exclusion criteria included metastatic disease, bisphosphonate or metabolic disease affecting BMD....
Aims To characterize the prevalence and impact of nocturnal enuresis overactive bladder (OAB) symptomatology in adult sickle‐cell disease (SCD) population. Methods We performed a single‐center, cross‐sectional study SCD patients from October 2012 to February 2014, using validated Pfizer OAB short form questionnaire brief voiding history surveys. Patient responses scores were compared that controls having normal or sickle cell trait hemoglobin genotypes. Results A group 239 (116 males, 123...
Prostate cell lines from diverse backgrounds are important to addressing disparities in prostate cancer (PCa) incidence and mortality rates among Black men. ACRJ-PC28 was developed a transrectal needle biopsy established via inactivation of the CDKN2A locus simultaneous expression human telomerase. Characterization assays included growth curve analysis, immunoblots, IHC, 3D cultures, immunofluorescence imaging, confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, WGS, RNA-Seq. has been passaged more than 40...

Prostate cancer is highly prevalent in Jamaica and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Our aim was to evaluate patterns screening largest organized clinic at Cancer Society. A retrospective analysis all men presenting for Society from 1995 2005 done. All patients had digital rectal examinations (DRE) prostate specific antigen (PSA) tests Results biopsies were noted. 1117 mean age 59.9 ± 8.2 years presented screening. The median documented PSA 1.6 ng/mL (maximum 5170 ng/mL). Most only...
Delayed puberty secondary to hypogonadism is commonly seen in sickle cell disease (SCD), affecting normal growth and development. The condition rarely treated SCD for fear of inducing priapism episodes. We present a case report an Afro-Jamaican adolescent male at 16 years age who presented with symptoms delayed as well frequent stuttering Endocrinological assessment revealed low serum total testosterone levels. Treatment was commenced monthly enanthate which resulted improved puberty,...
OBJECTIVE: To compare the proportion of patients choosing surgical versus medical castration to treat prostate cancer, before and after National Health Fund (NHF) Jamaica began subsidize hormone therapy. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed at University Hospital West Indies (UHWI), Jamaica. The pathology database UHWI searched identify who had biopsies between January 2000 December 2007. These were combined with records external institutions. Medical all positive reviewed determine...
The traditional surgical approach to penile fracture is perform a circumferential subcoronal degloving incision emergently repair the injury. This necessitates circumcision avoid foreskin complications. We present four men who had delayed foreskin-sparing and discuss its advantages.Four of five uncircumcised patients suspected fractures secondary coital injury, without suspicion concomitant urethral exploration, seven days after utilizing an directly over palpable haematoma, at location...
Prostate cancer is commonly seen in men the Americas, disproportionately affecting black men.Incidence rates for prostate Jamaica are high, with disease representing approximately 21% of all cancers males country (1).Prostate mortality also and Caribbean region overall highest world (2, 3).Several clinico-pathological reports on have documented advanced stages at presentation (4, 5).Evidence suggests that screening reduces (6).However, several barriers to early detection exist Jamaica,...
Several studies suggest race-based health disparities in men with low-risk prostate cancer (PCa), African American males having poorer oncological outcomes. We sought to determine the prevalence and predictors of pathological upgrading upstaging Jamaican PCa treated radical prostatectomy (RP). Data on 141 who met National Comprehensive Cancer Network criteria for underwent RP at a single institution were reviewed. All had transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy. Pre-operative clinical final...
