A double-blind placebo-controlled study in children showed codergocrine mesylate to be effective in improving cognitive functions and behavioural symptoms associated with learning disorders. Forty randomly grouped children of either sex were given an increasing dosage of codergocrine mesylate and followed up for 12 weeks. A significant improvement was noted in speech (acquisition of new words, comprehensibility/meaningfulness of speech), sociability, attention/concentration, comprehension and memory. Improvement in behaviour (emotional lability and cooperativeness) was also noted. Problems of assessing cognitive progress in very young children with culturally appropriate methods were encountered.
Objective: To investigate the clinical outcome of dorsal wrist ganglion treated with surgical excision. Methodology: It was a cross-sectional study performed at Kazi Hospital Lahore. Non-probability purposive sampling technique was used to enroll 50 patients of dorsal wrist ganglion who responded through a questionnaire / research proforma. Surgical excision was done under local anesthesia as day case. Results: We collected data of 55 patients. The mean age of the patients having dorsal wrist ganglion cyst was 31. Female patients were in a larger proportion than male patients. Right wrist was affected in n= 29 (58 %) of the individuals. At the end of our follow up only 2(45) patients had residual pain. Hypertrophic scar has been reported to be associated with the lower patient satisfaction (p = 0.001). Luckily in our study only two patients (4%) had this problem. Conclusion: This study concluded that the outcomes of surgical excision of dorsal wrist ganglion is effective technique with high patient satisfaction and cost effectiveness. Keywords: Dorsal wrist ganglion, aspiration, surgical excision, outcome, patient satisfaction.
