Objective
Determine the correlation between the hearing threshold and the serum levels of vitamin B12 (cobalamin) and folic acid among elderly subjects (> 60 years) with age-related hearing loss (ARHL).Study Design
Cross-sectional.Setting
Community.Subjects and Methods
Subjects included elderly who were found apparently healthy following repeated examination by physicians. The pure tone average (PTA) for the speech and high frequencies, and the serum folate and cobalamin were determined and the correlation found.Results
The mean ± SD values of serum folate among the subjects with normal PTA in the speech frequencies (0-30 dB) was 412.3 nmol/L ± 17.6 nmol/L, while among those with hearing loss (HL), it was 279.1 nmol/L ± 17.2 nmol/L (P = 0.01). In the high frequencies, the mean ± SD values among the subjects with normal PTA was 426.3 nmol/L ± 17.6 nmol/L, while among those with HL, it was 279.14 nmol/L ± 171.2 nmol/L. The serum cobalamin among the subjects with normal PTA within the speech frequencies was 49.7 pmol/L ± 9.4 pmol/L, while among those with speech-frequency HL, it was 42.6 pmol/L ± 10.2 pmol/L. However, for high frequencies, the mean ± SD values among the subjects with normal PTA was 47.4 pmol/L ± 7.3 pmol/L, while among those with HL, it was 41.3 pmol/L ± 9.2 pmol/L. Spearman's correlation revealed that low folate (correlation coefficient = −0.27, P = 0.01) and cyanocobalamin (correlation coefficient = −0.35, P = 0.02) were significantly associated with increasing hearing threshold in the high frequencies. After adjusting for age, serum folate (correlation coefficient = −0.01, P = 0.01) was significant, while vitamin B12 (correlation coefficient = −0.01, P = 0.74) was not.Conclusion
Serum folate was significantly lower among elderly with ARHL. Trials on nutritional supplementation may substantiate the role of serum folate in ARHL. 相似文献3.

Implementing complex clinical interventions is a key challenge in many global regions. Local communities play a necessary role in enhancing feasibility and strengthening adaptive issues in the design and implementation of stroke interventions in developing countries. Drawing on the knowledge of physicians, patients, and caregivers, the authors employed qualitative methods as a phase 1 strategy to explore the challenges of stroke management and improve the adaptability and efficient delivery of a multimodal preventive intervention for secondary stroke disease in Nigeria. A total of 22 individual interviews were conducted with healthcare professionals, as well as 12 focus groups with patients and caregivers. Findings revealed four operational domains to improve strategies for phase 2 implementation and intervention: (1) barriers influencing optimal adherence in stroke survivors, (2) patient health beliefs and perceptions of patient health beliefs by others, (3) adoption of the “patient report card,” and (4) “medical action plan” and family management strategies. 相似文献

The study is a retrospective analysis of the cutaneous manifestations of sarcoidosis in patients seen during a 10-year period at the skin and chest clinics of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital. Of the 43 patients with sarcoidosis 30% had skin lesions. The most common was sarcoidal infiltration of scarification marks. Facial macropapular lesions also were frequently present. 相似文献

Dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH) is a clinically heterogeneous disorder that shows generalized mottled pigmentation. It occurs most commonly in Japanese persons, with sporadic reports from South Africa, India, and Iraq. Histopathology reveals a variable degree of pigmentary incontinence. Although the precise etiology of this disorder is not yet known, the clinicopathological findings implicate an inherent abnormality of melanosomes or melanin processing. We describe a case in a young Nigerian girl. 相似文献

SUMMARY Although primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC) is quite common in adults in Africa, it is very rare in those under 25. The clinical diagnosis is usually straightforward by the time patients present and it is unusual to encounter differential diagnostic problems. We report an unusual clinical manifestation of PHC at the very young age of 15 years. The case presented clinically as a septicaemia-like illness that was initially thought to be typhoid. The patient died within 72h of presentation and the true diagnosis was only made at post-mortem. This case simultaneously highlights several problems commonly encountered in medicine in the developing world: late presentation, self-medication, and investigative and diagnostic difficulties related to inadequate facilities. 相似文献
