Abstract
Professionals involved in the care of patients with clefts in Africa face unique challenges when compared with what obtained in western countries. It is the purpose of this paper to review some of the challenges of cleft care in Africa. A computerized literature search using electronic databases; Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE and AJOL databases was conducted for published articles from 1965 to 2006. Mesh phrases used in the search were: Cleft lip, Cleft palate, Cleft care, Management, Challenges and Africa. The search produced 46 articles. A critical evaluation of the 46 articles using the inclusion and exclusion criteria led to selection of 20 articles for the review. The findings were: (1) No reliable data on incidence of cleft; (2) Strong traditional beliefs system exist regarding etiology of cleft; (3) Health problems attributed to clefts common at presentation; (4) Patients with cleft commonly present late; (5) Lack of multidisciplinary approach to care. The chance that a child born with a cleft tomorrow in Africa will receive the best care possible can not yet be guaranteed. The need to formulate basic strategies to improve the standard of cleft care in Africa and the rest of the developing world is overdue. We hope that the findings in this review will provoke solutions that might ultimately improve the standard of cleft care in Africa and the rest of the developing world.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the differences in car occupant injury severity recorded in AIS 2005 compared to AIS 1990 and to outline the likely effects on future data analysis findings. Occupant injury data in the UK Cooperative Crash Injury Study Database (CCIS) were coded for the period February 2006 to November 2007 using both AIS 1990 and AIS 2005. Data for 1,994 occupants with over 6000 coded injuries were reviewed at the AIS and MAIS level of severities and body regions to determine changes between the two coding methodologies. Overall there was an apparent general trend for fewer injuries to be coded at the AIS 4+ severity and more injuries to be coded at the AIS 2 severity. When these injury trends were reviewed in more detail it was found that the body regions which contributed the most to these changes in severity were the head, thorax and extremities. This is one of the first studies to examine the implications for large databases when changing to an updated method for coding injuries.

Abstract
Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a familial hemolytic disorder with marked heterogeneity of clinical features, ranging from an asymptomatic condition to a fulminant hemolytic anemia. Although a positive family history of spherocytosis increases the risk for this disorder, it may be sporadic in some cases. In severe cases the disorder may be detected in early childhood, but in mild cases it may go unnoticed until later in adult life. A 27-year-old Nigerian woman presented with mild anemia, jaundice, splenomegaly and a history of multiple blood transfusion. Blood film showed about 70% spherocytes, reticulocytosis of 6.5%, increased osmotic fragility test and a negative direct antiglobulin test. She was managed conservatively on nutritional supplements and a significant regression of symptoms after 6 months was achieved.

Abstract
e11618 Background: Treatment for male breast cancer is based on the results of large clinical trials for female breast cancer. Although peculiar differences do exist between men and women, very little is known about the prognostic factors in male breast cancer, even though female breast cancer practical conducts are widely used in male breast cancer. The rarity of this condition makes very difficult to produce randomized trials. Methods: This study is populational and epidemiological and evaluated male breast cancer patients from January 1974 to December 2001 about its prognostic characteristics. Data were collected retrospectively and the sample has been described using descriptive statistics methods. Survival curve was built using Kaplan-Meier method. Staging system was standardized as in the sixth edition of American Joint Committee on Cancer, independently on when the diagnose was made. Due to differences throughtout 35 years on therapeutic on breast cancer, treatment options were categorized in groups to make the survival evaluation possible. Results: From 45 patients with male breast cancer, 91% presented ductal histology, 26% were negative axillary, 9.1% were T1, 25% were T2, 4.5% were T3, 50% were T4 and 12.12% presented with distant metastasis at diagnose. Seventy nine percent were submitted to radical local treatment, while 34% had not been submitted to any kind of systemic treatment (neoadjuvant, adjuvant e hormone therapy). Forty percent of patients have not presented distant recurrence, while 58.3% have not presented local recurrence. A median survival of 126 months has been observed to the analyzed population, ranging from 69–182 months. Five-year survival was 72% and 10-year survival was 54%. These data agreed with the available data in the published literature. Conclusions: Male breast cancer appears to behave biologically and clinically very similar to female breast cancer, but differences do exist and need to be elucidated. Randomized multi-center clinical trials become necessary, as systematic reviews, to build higher statistic power studies. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
Genitourinary tuberculosis (TB) is the most frequent manifestation of extrapulmonary TB, where the epididymides, seminal vesicles and prostate are the commonly infected sites, followed by the testes. We report a 29-year-old man who presented with primary infertility since 2 years. He had a history of bilateral painful scrotal swelling with fever since 4 years, diagnosed as pyogenic scrotal abscess, which was managed by incision and drainage. At presentation, fever, weight loss and night sweats were absent. On examination, he had ovoid slightly tender, firm to hard irregular masses in the lower poles of both testes with no line of separation encroaching on both epididymes. Both testes were not felt distinctly and the overlying scrotal skin showed no signs of inflammation. Semen analysis revealed azoospermia. Scrotal colour coded duplex ultrasonography demonstrated moderately enlarged testes having well defined hypoechoic masses with foci of calcifications. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed these findings. Biopsy and histopathology detected the presence of caseating granuloma and Ziehl-Neelsen staining of paraffin sections demonstrated acid-fast bacilli. The patient was treated with combination therapy. Tracing of the condition is discussed.

Abstract
Prospective data on management and outcome of stroke in Africa is scarce. The purpose of this prospective descriptive study is to present epidemiologic, clinical and outcome data for a series of patients with hemorrhagic stroke in Djibouti. All patients admitted to the intensive care unit of the Bouffard Medical-Surgical Center in Djibouti for cerebral hemorrhage documented by CT-scan of the brain were recruited in this study. A total of 18 patients including 16 men were enrolled. The median patient age in this series was 51.5 years [range, 20-72]. The median duration of intensive care was 3 days [range, 1-38]. Mean Glasgow score at time of admission was 9 [range, 3-14]. Five patients were brought in by emergency medical airlift. The main risk factors for stroke were arterial hypertension, smoking, and regular khat use. Mechanical ventilation was performed in 10 patients with a survival rate of 40%. Six patients (33%) died in the intensive care unit. Hospital mortality within one month was 39% and mortality at 6 months was 44.4%. One-year survival for patients with a Glasgow score < or = 7 at the time of admission was 33%. Arterial hypertension, khat use, and smoking appeared to be major risk factors for male Djiboutians. Neurologic intensive care techniques provided hospital mortality rates similar to those reported in hospitals located in Western countries. Functional outcome in local survivors appeared to be good despite the absence of functional intensive care. These data argue against the passive, fatalistic approach to management of hemorrhagic stroke and for primary prevention of cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract
Accelerated apoptosis is a significant factor in the pathophysiology of male infertility disorders associated with abnormal spermatogenesis. This study aimed to investigate apoptosis in varicocele-bearing testes. Sixty four men with varicocele (18 fertile and 46 infertile) were studied compared with eight men with obstructive azoospermic as controls. Apoptosis was assessed in testicular biopsy specimens using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end labeling (TUNEL) method as well as electron microscopy. The results demonstrated that the occurrence of apoptotic changes comprised all types of germ cells but not affecting Sertoli cells. Mean tubular apoptotic indices of fertile or infertile men with varicocele were significantly higher than controls (mean +/- SD 4.55 +/- 1.03%, 6.29 +/- 1.82% versus 2.71 +/- 0.45%, P < 0.05). Mean Leydig cells apoptotic indices of infertile men with varicocele were significantly higher than those of fertile men without varicocele as well as controls (1.18 +/- 0.38%, 0.68 +/- 0.15%, 0.31 +/- 0.21%, P < 0.05). Apoptotic indices were nonsignificantly correlated with Johnsen score, testicular volume or varicocele grade. It is concluded that testicular apoptosis is increased in varicocele-associated men either fertile or infertile who may be implicated in associated spermatogenic dysfunction.

Abstract
Polyorchidism is a rare anomaly, defined as the presence of more than two testicles with about 100 cases reported in the literature. The majority of cases were triorchidism with occasional bilateral duplication. We report the case of a 32-year-old man with polyorchidism, presenting with primary infertility with oligoasthenoteratozoospermia semen profile. Scrotal examination revealed two discrete ovoid nontender, firm, mobile lumps with testicular sensation in the right side of the scrotum. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the presence of double testes with double separate epididymides sharing a common vas deferens in the right side of the scrotum. It demonstrated similar echo texture and vascular flow in both right-sided testicles although smaller in size than the left testis. The case was managed conservatively without surgical intervention with follow-up. Tracing of similar conditions in the literature was discussed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Erectile dysfunction (ED) treatment studies do not measure treatment response and treatment satisfaction (both patient and partner satisfaction) where dissatisfaction reflects an aspirations/achievement gap. AIM To test the subjective implications of satisfaction to various therapeutic modalities for pure or mixed organic ED, and to address changes in the health-oriented quality of life (QoL) and the relation of psychiatric status of these patients to treatment satisfaction. METHODS A prospective study included of 354 couples classified according to their line of therapy into five treated groups: testosterone, sildenafil citrate, intracavernosal injection, external negative vacuum device, and penile prosthesis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Erectile Dysfunction Inventory of Treatment Satisfaction (EDITS) and the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF). Satisfied patients were compared to unsatisfied cases using the PCASEE scale for QoL and Middlesex Hospital Questionnaire (MHQ) for psychiatric status. RESULTS Sildenafil citrate-treated group represented the highest mean value of satisfaction score on EDITS, erectile function, orgasmic function, and overall satisfaction domains of IIEF. Penile implants-treated group was the second for satisfaction score on EDITS. The testosterone-treated group represented the highest mean value for sexual desire domain score of IIEF. Low scores in various domains of QoL were significantly improved among satisfied cases more than unsatisfied subjects after therapy. High association was found between dissatisfaction and scores for anxiety, obsession, and phobia, followed by scores of depression and somatic concomitant of anxiety. CONCLUSION ED is best conceived as intermingle of somatic, lifestyle, psychological, and partner relationship determinants. This should be taken into account to increase sexual satisfaction with improved QoL, and not only to produce rigid erection.

Abstract
The formulation of the Cardiothoracic Registry. Cardiothoracic surgery is the field of medicine involved in surgical treatment of diseases affecting organs inside the thorax (the chest). It is a general treatment of conditions of the heart (heart disease) and lungs (lung disease). In Malaysia, due to lack of data collection we do not have estimates of number and outcome of such procedure in the country. Western figures are often used as our reference values and this may not accurately reflect our Malaysian population. The Malaysian Cardiothoracic Surgery Registry (MyCARE) by the Ministry of Health will be a valuable tool to provide timely and robust data of cardiology practice, its safety and cost effectiveness and most importantly the outcome of these patients in the Malaysian setting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) often suffer pain that is not fully controlled by analgesics and often require intra-articular therapies. The aim of this study was to compare the benefits of intra-articular corticosteroid injections (CSIs) and tidal irrigation (TI) in patients with OA of the knee. METHODS We performed a dual-centre, single blind, randomised, parallel group trial comparing TI and CSI. Patients with knee OA were randomised to either irrigation using a 3.2mm arthroscope under local anaesthesia or an intra-articular injection of 40 mg triamcinolone acetonide and 1% lidocaine. Patients were followed for 6 months. The primary outcome measure was the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities OA Index total pain score (visual analogue scale, VAS). RESULTS One hundred and fifty patients were recruited of whom 71 received TI and 79 CSI. In both treatment groups, over 80% of patients reported improvement at 2 and 4 weeks. After this time, the benefit of CSI decreased whereas that of TI was maintained: at 26 weeks the pain relief afforded by TI was significantly greater than that of CSI. At 26 weeks 29% of the CSI group reported improvement vs 64% of the TI group (P<0.001). Patients with a knee effusion responded better to both treatments, however, this was most apparent for CSI. Patients with less severe radiographic OA also obtained the greatest improvement from both treatments. CONCLUSION Both procedures lead to significant short-term pain relief of at least 4 weeks, however, TI displayed a significantly greater duration of benefit. Patients with effusions and milder radiographic change obtained the best response to treatment.

Abstract
In this work, the design and performance of new type ion source are described. The discharge mechanism of the source is based on creating an arc discharge through a saddle electric field inside the discharge tube. The saddle electric field is created by immersing an annular anode inside the discharge tube covered from the upper and lower ends with two flanges. These two flanges act as cathodes. The discharge tube is surrounded by a solenoid coil which produces an axial magnetic field (up to 400 G) measured at the center of the source. Measurements have been performed to find out the influence of arc power, pressure, discharge voltage, magnetic field, and extracting voltage on the ion source properties. The source yields an argon ion current of approximately 0.6 mA and electron current of approximately 4 mA at normal operating conditions (extraction voltage V(ex)=7 kV, pressure of 5.5x10(-4) Torr, V(arc)=400 V, I(arc)=1 A, B=200 G). It showed an energy spread of 20 eV at a discharge voltage of 400 V and an extraction voltage of 3 kV.
