Abstract
Abstract
Background
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a serious adverse drug reaction that increases patient’s risk of developing venous or arterial thromboembolism, which maybe life-threatening. The frequency varies from 0.5% to 5%, depending on population studies. This condition will worsen especially in patients with deep vein thrombosis.
Case
A 52 years old woman was reported swelling and decreased saturation of the lower extremities, with a history of Heparin therapy for 5 days before being referred to Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan. Platelet count on admission day was 225.000/µl but dropped into 64.000/µl in the 7th post heparin treatment day. Doppler examination showed multiple thrombosis in deep femoral vein and and sign of stenosis peripheral artery. Echocardiography showed intracardiac thrombus without sign of acute pulmonary embolism. Two days after discontinuation of heparin, the platelet still tend to be low but in the next days, its count increases to within normal range. Due to the high risk of embolism, it was decided to place a vena cava filter prior to surgery for thrombus evacuation.
Discussion
This case demonstrates several interesting aspects of HIT, including thrombotic complication, limitation tools to support diagnosis of HIT, how to prepare this patient into surgical management, and the last is placing a IVCF prior to surgical thrombus evacuation and thrombectomy to reduce the risk of thromboemboli before surgical treatment. This is the first time procedure in Medan for placing a vena cava filter in a DVT patients who have contraindication to heparin administration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Knowledge of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is unfolding. Insights from patient features in different environments are therefore vital to understanding the disease and improving outcomes. AIM This study aimed to describe patient characteristics associated with symptomatic presentation and duration of hospitalisation in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients managed in Abuja. SETTING The study was conducted in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria. METHODS This was a retrospective study of 201 COVID-19 patients hospitalised in the Asokoro District Hospital COVID-19 Isolation and Treatment Centre between April 2020 and July 2020. Demographic and clinical data were obtained and outcomes assessed were symptom presentation and duration of hospitalisation. RESULTS Patients' median age was 39.3 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 26-52); 65.7% were male and 33.8% were health workers. Up to 49.2% of the patients were overweight or obese, 68.2% had mild COVID-19 at presentation and the most common symptoms were cough (38.3%) and fever (33.8%). Hypertension (22.9%) and diabetes mellitus (7.5%) were the most common comorbidities. The median duration of hospitalisation was 14.4 days (IQR: 9.5-19). Individuals with secondary and tertiary education had higher percentage symptoms presentation (8.5% and 34%, respectively), whilst a history of daily alcohol intake increased the length of hospital stay by 129.0%. CONCLUSION Higher educational levels were linked with symptom presentation in COVID-19 patients and that daily alcohol intake was significantly associated with longer hospital stay. These findings highlight the importance of public education on COVID-19 for symptom recognition, early presentation and improved outcomes.

Abstract
Large homogeneous and adherent coatings of phenethylammonium bismuth iodide were produced using the cost-effective and scalable aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) methodology. The film morphology was found to depend on the deposition conditions and substrates, resulting in different optical properties to those reported from their spin-coated counterparts. Optoelectronic characterization revealed band bending effects occurring between the hybrid material and semiconducting substrates (TiO2 and FTO) due to heterojunction formation, and the optical bandgap of the hybrid material was calculated from UV-visible and PL spectrometry to be 2.05 eV. Maximum values for hydrophobicity and crystallographic preferential orientation were observed for films deposited on FTO/glass substrates, closely followed by values from films deposited on TiO2 /glass substrates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Simulation models are increasingly important for skill acquisition during microsurgery training. Prosthetics, living and non-living biological models have been proposed in the literature in the optics of recreating real-life scenarios in a controlled environment. This study aims to validate and prove the reusability of a novel non-living biological model: the porcine placenta. METHODS A prospective comparative study was carried out to assess face and content validities of the proposed model, as well as the reusability and quality of the Thiel-embalming method. Participants were asked answer a questionnaire for each anastomosis they performed on porcine placental vessels of ≤2mm (small) and 2-4mm (large). Scores were classified according to different subgroups, either small or large vessels and first or second sessions. Reliability analysis of the questionnaire was carried out using Cronbach's α, to ensure an α>0.7. Median scores for each question were analyzed using boxplots and compared amongst each subgroup using a non-parametric independent Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS With nine participants, the Cronbach's α for each category of question was 0.867, 0.778, 0.720 and 0.593. Statistical differences were found between responses of small and large vessels on 5/10 questions, where large vessels reported higher validity. No statistical differences were found between scores of the first and second sessions. CONCLUSION By evaluating face and content validity, the Thiel-embalmed porcine placenta has proven its suitability as a microsurgery model, especially for vessels of larger caliber. Qualities that distinguish this model is its reliable reusability, its low cost-effectiveness, and its ethical acceptability.

Abstract
Background: Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer death among women in northern Africa, with an estimated 5050 new cancer cases and 3509 deaths from cancer in 2012 ( GLOBOCAN 2012 ). Aim: This study was conducted to determine the epidemiologic characteristics of ovarian cancer in Morocco. Methods: This is a descriptive retrospective study of ovarian cancer cases, diagnosed and treated at Al Azhar Oncology Center in Rabat between 2005 and 2015. Results: There were 164 new cases of ovarian cancer diagnosed at Al Azhar Oncology Center, accounting for 3.5% of all cancers affecting women reported during 2005-2015. During this period, ovarian cancer was the third most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death after breast and cervical cancer among women. The average age at diagnosis of ovarian cancer was 52.5 ± 13.3 years (range 18-81 years). The risk of developing the disease is associated with age, 91.1% of cases were diagnosed in women aged 35 years and older, with 70.2% of new ovarian cancer cases occurring among those aged 35-64 years. A 43-year-old woman was diagnosed with metastatic disease. Among all detected cases, 18 (11%) died during the study period, accounting for 6.6% of all female cancer deaths. Conclusion: Ovarian cancer is a preventable disease, and a significant decrease in incidence and mortality can be expected as a result of population-based screening programs, which rely on regular preventive examinations to search for precancerous changes and to prevent the development of malignant tumors.

Abstract
Background: Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men. It is the fourth most common cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer death among men after liver, lung and bladder cancer in northern Africa, with an estimated 7548 new cancer cases and 5000 deaths from cancer in 2012, the most recent year for which international estimates are available ( GLOBOCAN 2012 ). Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and the epidemiologic characteristics of prostate cancer in Morocco. Methods: This is a descriptive retrospective analysis of prostate cancer cases, diagnosed and treated at Al Azhar Oncology Center in Rabat between 2005 and 2015. Results: During the period of study, there were 644 new cases diagnosed with prostate cancer at Al Azhar Oncology Center, accounting for 20% of all new cases of cancer in men reported during this period. The average age of the patients at diagnosis was 68.1 ± 9.6 years (range 8-97 years). The risk of developing prostate cancer is associated with advancing age, 97.7% of cases were diagnosed in men aged 50 years and older, with 85.1% of new cancer cases occurring among those aged 55-79 years. Among all detected cases, 6.5% were diagnosed with metastatic disease and 4.8% died during the study period. Conclusion: Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in elderly men. Early detection to improve prostate cancer outcome and survival remains the cornerstone of prostate cancer control.

Abstract
This study evaluated antenatal care (ANC) services for pregnant women attending primary health care centres in Medina city, Saudi Arabia in 2009. A cross-sectional survey collected data on ANC tasks performed at visits by 394 pregnant women attending 7 clinics. ANC was assessed in 3 domains: clinical assessment (at the initial visit and return visit), health promotion and care provision. The mean duration of initial visits was 10.3 (SD 2.3) minutes and of return visits was 9.1 (SD 1.1) minutes. Overall performance on ANC tasks was fair. The significant predictors of ANC performance of tasks were: size of population served per centre; presence of more than 1 physician carrying out ANC at the centre; physician's age, mother tongue, nationality and qualifications; and woman's education and employment status. Having more physicians available for ANC in primary care centres could improve the standard of care.

Abstract
Iron deficiency anaemia is the most common nutritional disorder in the world. Pregnant women are at especially high risk of iron deficiency and anaemia because of significantly increased iron requirements during pregnancy. Iron supplementation during pregnancy has been recommended for women in the developing world, since usually no basic changes occur in the composition of the diet. This is a retrospective cohort study carried out in Al-Yamamah Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, comparing the outcome of haemoglobin levels in 308 pregnant women near term with compliance to iron supplementation during the preceding pregnancy stages. Data were collected using an interview-based questionnaire for assessment of supplementation compliance and the women were divided into three categories: strictly compliant; partially compliant; and non-compliant. Haemoglobin levels were extracted from the medical records for the first antenatal visit (before 13 weeks' gestation) and compared with the level at entrance to the study at 36 weeks' gestation. Both Epi-info 2002 version 3.2 and SPSS version 10 were used for data analysis. Our results show that 49.7% used iron supplements continuously during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy; 38.3% reported partial use and 12.0% used no iron supplements. Haemoglobin levels improved significantly only among strictly compliant pregnant women, by 0.3 g/dl; decreased among partially compliant women by, 0.36 g/dl and significantly decreased among non-compliant, by -1.4 g/dl. Factors associated with non-compliance were education with a simple linear protective effect from being non-compliant. The percentage of anaemic women increased from 29.6% in the first trimester to 34% in the third trimester. Anaemia was significantly associated with non-compliance with iron supplementation, the adjusted OR was 6.19 95% CI 2.55-15.02, p < 0.0001. Strategies to improve compliance and effective iron supplementation among pregnant women should be implemented.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women. Results from experimental studies suggest that tumour progression and metastasis in breast cancer are angiogenesis dependant. The College of American Pathologists has stated that further study of quantification of tumour angiogenesis is still required to demonstrate its prognostic value in breast cancer. In this study, not only the microvascular density (MVD), but also the vascular area ratio (VAR), and the vascular count in different grades of invasive ductal breast carcinoma were assessed using a pan-endothelial marker, CD34, and monoclonal antibody to CD105, by employing computer assisted morphometric measurements. In addition, quantitative expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was detected. Correlation of the vascular parameters and VEGF expression with the different grades of invasive ductal breast carcinoma was clarified. Immunohistochemical staining for the CD105, CD34, and VEGF antibodies were performed in 25 patients with invasive ductal carcinoma in King Fahd Hospital, Saudi Arabia. Normal breast tissue samples comprised 15 specimens detected at the safety margin of the malignant breast cases were collected. Positive CD34 stained blood-vessel endothelial cells were observed in all normal breast tissues. In contrast, CD105 and VEGF expression were not expressed in the normal breast ducts and lobules. Widespread staining for CD34, to a lesser extent CD105, and VEGF expression were seen in all tumour specimens with different grades. Significant differences in the vascular parameters, stained with antiCD34, were observed between normal breast tissues and invasive ductal carcinoma. In addition, the vascular parameters stained with antiCD34 and antiCD105, and the percentage of VEGF expression in the three grades of invasive ductal carcinomas showed significant differences with positive correlations. In conclusion, MVD as well as VAR are considered to reflect the final result of the tumour angiogenesis cascade. In addition, VEGF expression was found to be a useful angiogenic marker. However, few cases were VEGF negatively stained. Thus, the expression of MVD, VAR, and to a lesser extent VEGF might be reference predictors for the biological behaviour and prognosis of breast carcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intravascular lymphomas are diffuse large-cell lymphomas belonging to a group of high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and are generally of phenotype B. They are rare and carry a severe prognosis. Clinical polymorphism is dominated by neurological and cutaneous involvement. PATIENTS AND METHODS We report the case of an 80-year-old woman with cutaneous intravascular B-cell lymphoma as revealed by an isolated episode of febrile bilateral inflammatory lymphoedema. Following combined chemotherapy with rituximab and mini-CHOP (cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, oncovin and prednisone), complete remission was obtained rapidly, with no relapse at two years. DISCUSSION Diagnosis of these tumours is rendered difficult by the clinical polymorphism and multifocal nature of lymphocytic proliferations. In the present case, diagnosis was based on histology results since presentation of the disease in the form of bilateral inflammatory oedema of the lower limbs is not sufficient to establish lymphoma. Combined rituximab and polychemotherapy comprising a CHOP regimen appears to yield the best results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is safe in acute cholecystitis, but the exact timing remains ill-defined. This study evaluated the effect of timing of LC in patients with acute cholecystitis. METHODS Prospective data from the hospital registry were reviewed. All patients admitted with acute cholecystitis from June 1994 to January 2004 were included in the cohort. RESULTS Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was attempted in 1,967 patients during the study period; 80% were women, mean patient age was 44 years (range, 20-73 years). Of the 1,967 LC procedures, 1,675 were successful, and 292 were converted to an open procedure (14%). Mean operating time for LC was 1 h 44 min (SD +/- 50 min), versus 3 h 5 min (SD +/- 79 min) when converted to an open procedure. Average postoperative length of stay was 1.89 days (+/- 2.47 days) for the laparoscopic group and 4.3 days (+/- 2.2 days) for the conversion group. No clinically relevant differences regarding conversion rates, operative times, or postoperative length of stay were found between patients who were operated on within 48 h compared to those patients who were operated on post-admission days 3-7. CONCLUSIONS The timing of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients with acute cholecystitis has no clinically relevant effect on conversion rates, operative times, or length of stay.
