Carbon Monoxide and Respiratory Disorders in Professional Female Fish Smokers at 2 Artisanal Sites in Benin

Introduction: The use of biomass for cooking is a very common practice in Africa and Benin, and is associated with exposure to organic pollutants. The aim of this study was to assess carbon monoxide exposure and respiratory disorders in women at artisanal fish-smoking sites. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of women fish smokers at two artisanal fish-smoking sites in Benin. Recruitment was exhaustive. An interview using a respiratory questionnaire inspired by the Union questionnaire, spirometry and carbon monoxide (CO) measurement were carried out. Descriptive analysis and comparison of means using Student’s t-test with a threshold of p = 0.05 were performed. Results: The median age of the 81 people surveyed was 40, with an interquartile range (IQT) of [25 to 75]. The median duration of daily exposure to smoke was 6 h IQT [4, 7]. Of those surveyed, 64 (79.01%) were illiterate and 39 (48.24%) had been working for 20 years. CO levels at the start of activity varied from 89 to 145 ppm in one case and from 40 to 89 ppm in the other. Respiratory symptoms were present in 19 (23.46%);18 (22.22%) had mild airway impairment on spirometry. There was a statistically significant decrease between the mean values of peak expiratory flow (PEF), mean expiratory volume in seconds (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) before and after exposure to smoke. Conclusion: CO levels are high on fish smoking sites and respiratory problems are common. Improved working conditions are important for these women.

Glutamate decarboxylase 1 gene polymorphisms are associated with respiratory symptoms in panic disorder

BACKGROUND Genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of panic disorder(PD).However,the effect of genetic variants on PD remains controversial.AIM To evaluate the associations between glutamate decarboxylase 1(GAD1)gene polymorphisms and PD risk and assess the effect of GAD1 gene polymorphisms on the severity of clinical symptoms in PD.METHODS We recruited 230 PD patients and 224 healthy controls in this study.All participants were assessed for anxiety and panic symptom severity using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale(HAM-A)and Panic Disorder Severity Scale(PDSS).GAD1 gene polymorphisms(rs1978340 and rs3749034)were genotyped and assessed for allele frequencies.RESULTS There were no significant differences between cases and controls in the genotype distributions or allele frequencies of GAD1(rs1978340 and rs3749034).In addition,the effect of GAD1(rs1978340 and rs3749034)on PD severity was not significant.However,regarding respiratory symptoms,patients with the GAD1 rs1978340 A/A genotype had significantly higher scores than those with the A/G or G/G genotype.CONCLUSION Here,we showed that the A/A genotype of GAD1 rs1978340 was associated with increased severity of respiratory symptoms in patients with PD.

Occupational Exposure to Particulate Matter from Biomass Smoke and Its Relationship to Respiratory Symptoms and Pulmonary Function among Rural Women Involved in Cassava Processing in Nigeria

Background: Cassava processing is an important source of livelihood for many rural women and involves prolonged exposure to biomass smoke. The impact of this exposure on respiratory health of these women has not been explored. We aimed to compare the frequency of respiratory symptoms and pulmonary function among cassava processing women to that of petty traders as well as the levels of particulate matter PM2.5 and PM10 at the workplaces of these women. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional design. Questionnaire was administered;spirometry was performed;PM2.5 and PM10 were sampled. Descriptive statistics were used and multiple logistic regressions were performed to assess the relationship between predictors and outcome variables. Results: 528 non-smoking women were recruited (264 cassava processors and 264 petty traders). The women were matched by baseline parameters. PM2.5 levels at the cassava processing plants were (50 ± 10.0 μg/m3) while the levels at the petty traders’ stalls were 13.0 ± 10.0 μg/m3 (P 2.5, having more respiratory symptoms, lower pulmonary function parameters and higher frequency of obstructive pulmonary defect compared to women not occupationally exposed to biomass. Use of more efficient fuel in cassava processing and personal protective equipment may limit the harmful health effects of biomass among these vulnerable women.

Oral and peri-oral signs and symptoms of herbal dentifrices in patients in two oral medicine clinics in Lagos—A preliminary study

Background: Herbal dentifrices appear to have become an attractive alternative for some consumers and its use has gained appreciable acceptance in Nigeria. This could be partly due to the perception that herbal toothpastes like other herbal products are “natural”, devoid of chemicals and therefore superior to regular toothpastes. Aggressive advertisement of the products may also contribute to this new trend. Mucosal symptoms such as glossitis and intolerance to spicy foods seen in patients attending the oral diagnosis clinic are usually associated with anaemia and nutritional deficiency states. The disturbing trend of an increasing number of patients presenting with such oral mucosal symptoms associated with the use of herbal dentifrices prompted this study. This trend was observed in two isolated oral medicine clinics. Objective: To sensitize oral health, allied professionals and consumers on the possible adverse effects of regular use of some herbal dentifrices sold in Nigeria. Materials and Methods: Routine patients of two oral medicine clinics in Lagos, namely the Randle General Hospital and the Lagos University Teaching Hospital who complained of some adverse mucosal signs and symptoms following the regular use of two identified herbal toothpastes made up the study population. The study was conducted between April 2010-April 2011. A detailed history and examination was carried out on these patients and clinical photographs of oral signs observed was taken in consenting patients. Data analysis was done using the Epi-info 6 software. P values ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant and data was presented in table format. Results: A total of 45 patients, 9 (20%) males and 36 (80%) fe-males were seen. The age range of patients was 14 - 78 years;mean age 45.5 ± 14.9 years. The duration of use of herbal dentifrices ranged from 2 weeks - 84 months (mean 24 ± 11.5 months). Oral signs and symptoms seen include, burning mouth and peppery sensation, mucosal erythema, lichenoid reaction, xerostomia, loss of taste sensation, angio-oedema and oral and peri-oral pigmentation. In many patients, resolution of symptoms was progressive within 2 weeks of withdrawal of the herbal toothpaste and its replacement with a conventional fluoride toothpaste. Most of the patients however required further treatment. A statistically significant association was found between the use of the identified herbal dentifrices and the following mucosal signs and symptoms namely, burning mouth and peppery sensation ,loss of taste sensation, soreness, erythema and lichenoid straie (p value ≤ 0.05). There was no statistically significant association between the use of herbal toothpaste and mucosal signs and symptoms of xerostomia, angular cheilitis, mucosal itching, angio-oedema and numbness (p value > 0.0.5) Conclusion: The regular use of the herbal dentifrices identified in this study can result in oral signs and symptoms affecting taste , nutrition, aesthetics and general oral physiology in some consumers. These findings suggest that further long term clinical trials need to be conducted on the herbal dentifrices to identify the noxious agents causing these symptoms. The formulation and use of these dentifrices need to be standardized and regulated. There is also a need to formulate a treatment protocol for these patients.

Hiatal Hernia by Rolling Revealed by Respiratory Symptoms: A Rare Condition and Atypical Presentation

Hiatal hernia by rolling is a rare pathology estimated at 5% of all diaphragmatic hernias. It is usually asymptomatic. Sometimes, it can be accompanied by different symptoms, such as post prandial bloating, dysphagia, regurgitation, retro sternal pain, even respiratory symptoms. The aim of this article is to show that a hiatus hernia by rolling can cause a misleading clinical picture that may be taken wrongly for a heart or respiratory disease. We report the case of an 80-year-old patient whose presentation was suggestive of an acute heart condition, but the scan confirmed a rolling diaphragmatic hernia. Because of the rarity and the atypical presentation of this case, we have found it desirable to bring this new observation.

Metanalysis: Respiratory Effects in the General Population Exposed to Urban Pollution

Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate spirometric lung function parameters in the general population exposed to urban pollution and confirm the existence of an association between exposure to environmental pollutants and effects from these products and which respiratory parameters are associated to urban pollution in general population. Methods: This study is a systematic research of all articles on the assessment of respiratory effects on general population exposed to urban pollution, excluding studies on adolescents and children. The research included articles from January 2008 to May 2009. In the articles included in our meta-analysis, the exposed group is represented by general population aged between 15 and 75 years for both genders, resident in very polluted urban areas, while the control group is represented by general population resident in rural and suburban areas, where pollution is lower. Results: The results confirm the presence of statistically significant effects of urban pollution on the respiratory system for cough, phlegm, shortness of breath/breathlessness, wheezing, FVC, FEV1, PEFR, chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, rhinitis, emphysema.

Results of the Evaluation of the Respiratory Condition of Permanent Workers in an Oil Mill in Benin

Introduction: The process of extracting oil from cotton seeds can create dusty work atmospheres that can cause respiratory problems. The main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of respiratory problems among permanent workers in an oil mill in Benin. Methods: This cross-sectional study of 52 workers in an oil mill took place in January 2017 as part of the annual medical check-ups of workers. A questionnaire was administered and spirometry using Spirobank II and chest radiography were performed. The spirometry results were interpreted by an occupational physician and a pulmonologist. Data were entered and analyzed using Epidata software. Results: The mean age was 42.7 ± 6.4 years, and 43 of the 52 workers were men. Of these, 58% were in technical production positions and 42% in administrative positions. Most of them had more than 10 years of seniority. The prevalence of respiratory symptoms among production workers was 4 (13%) versus 2 (9%) among administrative workers. A total of 8 (15.4%) abnormal spirometry was identified with 4 obstructive syndrome, 3 restrictive syndrome, 1 a mixed pattern. There were 5 (16.6%) workers in production versus 3 (13.6%) in administration who had abnormal spirometry. The means 25/75 forced expiratory flow (FEF) value of production workers was significantly lower than that of administration workers. Abnormal chest radiographs were 5 (17%) in production workers compared to 3 (14%) in administration workers. Conclusion: Oil mill workers had few respiratory symptoms. However, production workers had more ventilatory disorders than administrative workers. A spirometric follow-up of this group of workers is therefore necessary.

Symptoms and signs of acute alcoholic hepatitis

Although there is not one specific sign or symptom related to alcoholic hepatitis(AH),a constellation of symptoms and signs can help make the diagnosis of AH with reasonable accuracy.Documentation of chronic and active alcohol abuse is paramount in making a diagnosis of AH.Clinical presentation after abstinence for more than 3 m should raise doubts about the diagnosis of AH and dictate the need for considering other causes of liver disease,decompensation of alcoholic cirrhosis,sepsis and malignancy as the cause of patient's clinical profile.

ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT OF 40 CASES OF SEVERE HICCUP BASED ON DIFFERENTIATION OF SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS

After acupuncture treatment, 34 cases (85 %) were cured, 4 (10 %) improved markedly and 2(5 %) improved, with total effective rate of 100 %.

Signs and syndromes in acute appendicitis:A pathophysiologic approach

Physical examination signs have not been well studied,and their accuracy and reliability in diagnosis remain unknown.The few studies available are limited in that the method of performing the sign was not stated,the technique used was not standardized,and the position of the appendix was not correlated with imaging or surgical findings.Some appendiceal signs were written in a non-English language and may not have been appropriately translated(e.g.,Blumberg-Shchetkin and Rovsing).In other cases,the sign described differs from the original report(e.g.,Rovsing,Blumberg-Shchetkin,and Cope sign,Murphy syndrome).Because of these studies limitations,gaps remain regarding the signs’utility in the bedside diagnosis of acute appendicitis.Based on the few studies available with these limitations in mind,the results suggest that a positive test is more likely to be found in acute appendicitis.However,a negative test does not exclude the diagnosis.Hence,these tests increase the likelihood of ruling in acute appendicitis when positive but are less helpful in ruling out disease when negative.Knowledge about the correct method of performing the sign may be a valuable adjunct to the surgeon in further increasing their pretest probability of disease.Furthermore,it may allow surgeons to study these signs further to better understand their role in clinical practice.In the interim,these signs should continue to be used as a tool to supplement the clinical diagnosis.

Identifying barriers to early diagnosis of breast cancer and perception of women in Malwa region of Punjab,India

Objective:The aim of present study is to identify the breast cancer screening barriers among the women with breast cancer of Malwa region of Punjab,India.The study was conducted at three government hospitals representing almost all districts of Malwa region.Methods:The quantitative research design was followed using empirical research methods.Study was carried out by one-to-one interview by the field investigator and research assistant.Total of 363 breast cancer patient has been interviewed through the scheduled questionnaire and results has been recorded for further analysis.In this study,five barriers are described namely as personal barriers,socio-cultural barriers,economic barriers,health­system barriers,and treatment barriers which contains various questions regarding barriers to breast cancer screening.Univariate analysis methods have been used for the analysis to access the socio-demographic profile of women.Data has been obtained with the help of 5-point liker scale.Binary logistic model was chosen.Results:Majority of participants were in the age groups 50-<60 years(3&6%,140/363)and>60 years(31.1%,112/363).Majority of these women(47.4%,171/363)were illiterate and most of them were housewives.The major barriers to breast cancer screening faced by most of the women were having no knowledge about screening services(90.9%,329/363),the importance of early diagnosis(90.9%,329/363),different screening methods(95.5%,347/363)and place of availing screening services(91.2%,330/363)misguided belief in God and fate(81.5%,295/363)and preferring duties than taking care of health(70.2%,254/363).Education qualification(odds ratio[OR]0.74,β'=-0.309,t=-5.357,P=0.000)and socioeconomic class(OR 1.43,β’=0.354,t=3.399,P=0.001)were found to be significant determinant of the barriers among women.Conclusion:The survey was conducted in the women between the age 40-60 years and as an outcome,the unawareness about screening services,fatalistic attitude,fear of being diagnosed with the cancer,low per capita income was found out significant factors that restricted the women for early check-up for the breast cancer.

Extraskeletal symptoms and comorbidities of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis(DISH) is a noninflammatory disease characterized by calcification and ossification of soft tissues, mainly enthesis and spinal ligaments. The clinical presentation primarily includes spinal involvement-induced pain and range of motion. Although rare, life-threatening gastrointestinal, respiratory or neurological events or severe morbidity due to bone compression on the adjacent structures may develop. There is a limited amount of data on DISHrelated events in the literature. In recent years, comorbid metabolic disorders are of great interest in patients with DISH. The early diagnosis of these conditions as well as rare entities allows an effective multidisciplinary approach for the treatment of DISH. In this article, we review extraskeletal symptoms and associated comorbidities in patients with DISH.

Effect of laparoscopic fundoplication treatment on gastroesophageal reflux disease-related respiratory symptoms

Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)was diagnosed and fundoplication was performed,which relieved the symptoms.This paper explores the effect of fundoplication on GERD-related respiratory symptoms.From January 2007 to October 2008,64 patients with respiratory symptoms related to GERD were consecutively enrolled for laparoscopic fundoplication.Of these,60 patients had respiratory symptoms mainly combined with gastroesophageal reflux,while four had respiratory symptoms only.All patients had GERD confirmed,and medical treatment provided before surgery resulted in an insufficiently favorable effect or even producing further complications.All the patients were requested tofill a questionnaire form regarding the severity of symptoms and their medication so as to make an evaluation score for the follow-up.The outcome of respiratory symptoms after surgery was as follows:excellent in 23 cases(35.9%);good in 28(43.8%);fair in 5(7.8%);poor in 8(12.5%).The mean respiratory symptom score decreased from 6.3�2.65 to 2.33�2.37.Laparoscopic fundoplication can be an effective treatment for the majority of patients with GERD-related respiratory symptoms.
