Inorganic sling materials when used for treatment of urinary stress incontinence have a high success rate of achieving continence. They unfortunately attract the complication of vaginal tape erosion. When used for Transobturator tape procedure (TOT) we found the Obtape sling (Mentor-Porges, Le Plessis-Robinson, France) attracted a high rate of erosion, likely due to the tape properties. We describe a series of tape erosions with the Obtape sling, the presentation, conservative and surgical management with favourable rates of maintenance of continence. We suggest the use of larger pore sized tapes to decrease the occurrence of vaginal tape erosion. 相似文献

The present study is a qualitative exploration of the link between earlier trauma and adolescent mother identity. We examined whether the mothers in our study formed an identification with other adolescent mothers, why or why not, and whether that identity (or lack thereof) was influenced by earlier traumatic experience. Fourteen residents of Delaware County, Pennsylvania, who became mothers between the ages of 14 and 19 (four White, seven African American, two Latina, and one Multiracial) participated in semi-structured interviews. Semi-structured, in-depth narrative interviews explored personal and community views on and experiences with adolescent pregnancy and parenthood. Results suggest that although exposure to traumatic events early in life can prompt more favorable evaluations of adolescent mothers before becoming a member of the ingroup for some, earlier trauma can prompt others to reject ingroup among adolescent mothers. Adolescent pregnancy and parenthood programs should utilize a trauma lens. 相似文献

Context: Available artemisinin-combination therapies (ACTs) are expensive. Various traditional herbal remedies for malaria involve plants, proven scientifically to have antiplasmodial effects, e.g., Azadirachta indica A. Juss. (Meliaceae).Objective: Combination of an artemisinin-based compound and a medicinal herb extract will provide an indigenous alternative/herb-based ACT.Materials and methods: The in vivo schizontocidal activity of the crude aqueous extract of 100, 500, and 1000?mg/kg of A. indica fresh leaves (NCE) and 6, 15, and 20?mg/kg of artesunic acid were determined, alone and in combination, while keeping the dose of artesunic acid constant at 15?mg/kg, using the Peter’s 4-day suppressive test and Swiss albino mice. The ED50 was calculated from the dose-response relationships. Percentage survival and cure were also determined.Results: The average yield of two extractions of NCE was 8.33?±?1.67%. Combination of 1000?mg/kg of NCE and 15?mg/kg of artesunic acid, produced a significant reduction of parasitemia (96.87%), compared to 20?mg/kg of artesunic acid alone (68.14%). The combination had an ED50 of 0.58?mg/kg while that of artesunic acid alone was 8.814?mg/kg. The combinations of NCE with artesunic acid produced a cure, although the artesunic acid did not produce a cure in 30?d.Discussion: NCE increased the activity of artesunic acid in terms of reduction in parasitemia, and increased survival time and cure rate.Conclusion: The combination of an artemisinin and aqueous extract of neem leaf is possible, providing a potentiated reduction of parasitemia, and increased cure rate. 相似文献

A case of transection of anterior circumference humeral artery, a branch of the 3rd part of the axillary artery is reported, after a simple anterior shoulder dislocation. This complication though rare could potentially result in catastrophic consequences for the patient. It should therefore be recognised early and a coordinated prompt vascular and orthopaedic surgical treatment given for better upper limb functional outcome. 相似文献

Persistence of malaria symptoms after treatment with over the counter available antimalarial drugs has resulted in a gradual loss of faith in orthodox drugs. There is thus an increased tendency towards the use of herbs in the treatment of malaria in Imo State, Nigeria. In this study we report activities of two herbalists in the treatment of malaria as well as the effectiveness of the herbal treatment. The study covered two areas namely, Umuneke Ugiri in Isiala Mbano Local Government Area (LGA) and Odummara Obi-Orodo in Mbaitoli LGA of Imo State, Nigeria. A participant-observation technique was used. Finger prick blood samples were collected from patients who visited the herbalists complaining of malaria, and blood smears were stained with Field's B stain. Blood smears were taken again one-week post-treatment. A total of 75 patients from Umuneke Ugiri and 265 patients from Odumara Obi-Orodo were involved in the study. All the 75 patients (100%) from Umuneke Ugiri and 163 (61.51%) patients from Odummara Obi-Orodo were positive for malaria parasites. Only 13 (17.3%) patients from Umuneke Ugiri and 149 (56.23%) from Odummara Obi-Orodo returned for the post-treatment blood parasite analysis. From Umuneke Ugiri 4 (31%) were still positive for malaria parasite while 9 (69%) were negative. All 149 patients from Odummara Obi-Orodo were negative. This indicates that the herbal treatment was effective. However, there is need for further studies into the efficacy of herbal concoctions, their effective life span, as well as possible toxic effects. 相似文献
