  1. Intestinal Obstruction Due to Super Absorbent Polymer Bead Ingestion in Children
    Govindarajan KK, Arasappan M
    J Coll Physicians Surg Pak, 2023 Feb;33(2):232-233.
    PMID: 36797637 DOI: 10.29271/jcpsp.2023.02.232
    Ingested foreign bodies (Fb) in children usually pass out in stools without any sequels. However, Fbs like open safety pins, button batteries, and super absorbent polymer (SAP) / jelly toys are associated with complications such as intestinal obstruction, and bowel perforation. Intestinal obstruction in children of uncertain nature should raise a suspicion of foreign body ingestion such as SAP, which may not be obvious at the initial presentation. The study reports two such children, outlining the presentation and management. Key Words: Children, Intestinal obstruction, Foreign body, Health hazard, Bilious vomit, Super absorbent polymer beads.

  5. High frequency of hand foot syndrome with capecitabine
    Kamil M, Haron M, Yosuff N, Khalid I, Azman N
    J Coll Physicians Surg Pak, 2010 Jun;20(6):421-2.
    PMID: 20642979 DOI: 06.2010/JCPSP.421422
    A hospital based cross-sectional retrospective study was conducted to determine the frequency of hand foot syndrome (HFS) with Capecitabine as a single agent and in combination with Oxaliplatin. The study included 43 consecutive cases of colorectal carcinoma and conducted from June till December 2008. Patients on palliative care were excluded. SPSS was used for the application of chi-square test, by keeping the level of significance as p < 0.05. Fifteen (34.9%) patients developed HFS, 10 in the single-agent and 5 in the combination group. No significant association of HFS with either regimens was noted (p=0.876).

  9. Giant Urethral Calculus without Acute Urinary Retention
    Abidin ZAZ, Hayati F, Tan GH, Goh EH, Hafidzul J, Zulkifli MZ
    J Coll Physicians Surg Pak, 2018 Mar;28(3):S69-S70.
    PMID: 29482714 DOI: 10.29271/jcpsp.2018.03.S69
    A 46-year gentleman presented with a left-sided lumbar region pain without fever or dysuria. He denied episodes of acute urinary retention. There was a hard mass at the distal urethra with normal laboratory blood tests. Computed tomography urogram revealed a concurrent left renal staghorn calculus and large distal urethral stone. The urethral stone was fragmented via endourologic technique successfully. We report a case of a non-obstructing large urethral calculus in a gentleman with concurrent left renal staghorn calculus and discuss the literature review.
  10. Fibrin sealant as an alternative for sutures in periodontal surgery
    Pulikkotil SJ, Nath S
    J Coll Physicians Surg Pak, 2013 Feb;23(2):164-5.
    PMID: 23374528 DOI: 02.2013/JCPSP.164165
    The trial compared wound healing clinically, histologically and morphometrically after the use of fibrin sealant and sutures for periodontal flap closure. Ten patients were selected for this split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial. On the test site fibrin sealant (F) was applied for flap closure after periodontal flap surgery (n = 10) and on the control site sutures (S) were used (n = 10). Clinically wound healing was observed at 7, 14 and 21 days and biopsy was taken on the 8th day. At seventh day better healing was observed in fibrin sealant site. Histologically mature epithelium and connective tissue formation was seen in fibrin sealant site with increased density of fibroblasts (F = 70.45 ± 7.22; S = 42.95 ± 4.34, p < 0.001) and mature collagen fibers. The suture site had more number of inflammatory cells (S = 32.58 ± 4.29; F = 20.91 ± 4.46, p < 0.001) and more number of blood vessels (S = 11.89 ± 3.64; F = 5.74 ± 2.41, p = 0.005). Fibrin sealant can form a better alternative to sutures for periodontal flap surgery.

  14. Dengue-induced Acute Kidney Injury (DAKI): A Neglected and Fatal Complication of Dengue Viral Infection--A Systematic Review

    Dengue Viral Infection (DVI) imperils an estimated 2.5 billion people living in tropical and subtropical regions. World Health Organization (2011) guidelines also classified dengue as 'Expanded Dengue Syndrome' to incorporate wide spectrum of unusual manifestations of dengue infection affecting various organ systems - including liver, kidney, heart and brain. Renal involvements are least appreciated area of dengue infection, therefore, we systematically reviewed studies describing renal disorders in dengue infection, with emphasis on Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). The purpose of current review is to underscore clinicians’attention to this neglected intricacy of DVI. It suggests that dengue induced renal involvements vary from glomerulonephritis, nephrotic range proteinuria and AKI. We observed great disparity in incidence of AKI among dengue patients, based upon criteria used to define AKI. AKI among dengue patients was found to be associated with significant morbidity, mortality and longer hospitalization, adding financial burden to patients and healthcare system. Additionally, we identified several predictors of AKI in dengue patients including old age, obesity, severe dengue infection and concurrent bacterial or viral infection. Direct viral injury and deposition of antigen-antibody complex in glomerulus were found to be possible causes of renal disorders in dengue infection. Prior knowledge of clinico-laboratory characteristics and risk factors with early detection of AKI by using appropriate criteria would not only reduce morbidity and mortality but also decrease burden to patients and healthcare system.

  16. Conventional versus Minimally Invasive Vein Harvesting: A Clinical Audit of Wound Dehiscence Complications
    Shiang SW, Vendargon SJ, Hamid SRBGS
    J Coll Physicians Surg Pak, 2019 Apr;29(4):371-374.
    PMID: 30925964 DOI: 10.29271/jcpsp.2019.04.371
    OBJECTIVE: To determine the wound complications post coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) by conventional vein harvest technique (CVH) and minimally invasive vein harvest technique (MIVH) in Hospital Sultanah Aminah Johor Bahru, Malaysia.

    STUDY DESIGN: Clinical audit report.

    PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY: Hospital Sultanah Aminah Johor Bahru, Malaysia, from March 2016 to May 2017.

    METHODOLOGY: Data were collected retrospectively from all 127 patients who underwent CABG with saphenous vein grafts, either with CVH technique (n=68), or MIVH technique (n=59) performed with Vasoview system. The rate of wound dehiscence was evaluated. Patients with severe wound dehiscence that required readmission and surgical intervention were identified for further evaluation.

    RESULTS: There was total 26.8% of wound dehiscence in our study, which was not appreciably different between two groups (p=0.092). Patient with severe wound breakdown that required surgical intervention was significantly less in MIVH group (1/59, 1.7%) compared to CVH group (8/68, 11.8%, p=0.037). There was no significant difference in readmission rate between MIVH and CVH group (p=0.574).

    CONCLUSION: There is significant reduction in severity of wound dehiscence post-saphenous vein harvesting among CABG patients with MIVH technique. However, there is no statistical difference in wound dehiscence and readmission rate between MIVH and CVH technique.

    J Coll Physicians Surg Pak, 2019 Feb;29(2):185-186.
    PMID: 30700363 DOI: 10.29271/jcpsp.2019.02.185
    This is a retrospective audit of all patients admitted to the surgical unit for urosepsis from June 2014 to June 2015 at the General Surgery Unit of Hospital Sultan Ismail, Malaysia. Demographics, comorbidities, presenting symptoms, length of stay (LOS), mortality, and associated risk factors were recorded. There were 35 patients treated for urosepsis with a male preponderance of 21/35 patients. Hypertension (n=18) and diabetes (n=10) were the two most common comorbidities. There were five deaths (mortality rate=14.3%) and the main bacterium cultured was Escherichia coli. Age >65, presence of underlying comorbid disease, presence of cancer, urine and blood culture positivity had higher incidence of death but were not statistically significant for urosepsis mortality. However, this result is limited by the small sample size and single centre retrospective data.
