Introduction:Cancer rates are rising in low-and middle-income countries.While pointof-care ultrasound is now available globally and could serve to mitigate against this rise, its use diagnosing cancers inconsistent lower-resourced healthcare contexts.This proof-of-concept study investigates the feasibility of an training concept a low-resource setting.It evaluates whether educational led improved knowledge application diagnostics, cancer screening staging patient care. Material methods:The...
Retroperitoneal cysts are rare, accounting for less than 1% of retroperitoneal tumors. Idiopathic giant unilocular even more uncommon, with very few reported cases. Their diagnosis and management particularly challenging in resource-limited settings due to restricted access advanced imaging surgical techniques. A 38-year-old female presented progressive abdominal distension. Imaging revealed a cyst. Due limited resources, an open laparotomy was performed, 33 cm cyst containing 8 l clear...
Intussusception is rarely seen in adulthood but commonly the pediatric age group. Causes of intussusception adults are due to tumors and inflammatory diseases. accounts for less than 5% intestinal obstruction. Colonic lipomas usually asymptomatic mostly managed surgically with promising outcomes as our case.
Abstract Echocardiographic abnormalities in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) were determined, and pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP) was estimated. Clinical data echocardiograms of 38 adult hospitalized SCD at two tertiary care hospitals reviewed. Fisher's exact test performed to determine correlation between hypertension various clinical variables. Pulmonary the most common abnormality identified 22 (58%) patients. The estimated mean PASP 37.5 ± 10.9 mmHg. Older age prior...
Introduction: Percutaneous device closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) has emerged as an alternative to traditional surgical closure. Although reduced hospital stay, decreased morbidity and absence a incision are beneficial, other procedure- or device-related complications coming into light. We report rare complication early embolization the Blockaid occluder main pulmonary artery bifurcation associated with 'aortic rim' erosion present brief review literature pertaining high incidence...
Cardiac manifestations in COVID-19 are multifactorial and associated with increased mortality. The clinical utility prognostic value of echocardiography inpatients is not clearly defined. We aim to identify echocardiographic parameters that 30-day outcomes secondary hospitalization.This retrospective cohort study was conducted a large tertiary hospital New York City during the pandemic. It included 214 adult laboratory-confirmed diagnosis by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction...
Button battery ingestion and impaction in the oesophagus can result severe morbidity even fatality if not diagnosed managed urgently. Delayed or missed diagnosis due to sometimes-vague symptomatology limited investigations resource-limited settings further increases complications rate.Case 1: A 2 years old male child presented with a nine months history of recurrent respiratory tract infections responding well medical treatment. radio-opaque round foreign body (FB) was incidentally seen...
Intracardiac blood cysts are thin‐walled cysts, lined by flattened, cobblestone‐shaped epithelium, and filled with nonorganized blood. During autopsy, they found on cardiac valves in approximately 50% of infants below the age 2 months rarely after years. We report a rare case cyst attached to mitral valve possible cause an embolic stroke. (ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, Volume 26, July 2009)
Introduction . Heart failure (HF) is characterized by frequent episodes of decompensation, leading to a high hospitalization burden. More than 50% index hospitalizations for HF patients return within 6 months discharge. Once the patient readmitted, risk further disease progression and mortality rate are increased. A lot readmitted due factors such as poor medication adherence, infections, or worsening comorbidities. The aim our study was identify inpatient burden readmission associated with...
