Context:Leukemias may present with, or be associated with ocular disorders.Aims:To determine the rates of ophthalmic disorders in adult patients with leukemia.Settings and Design:A prospective study of ocular disorders in adult patients with leukemia at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City, Nigeria, between July 2004 and June 2008 was conducted.Methods and Materials:The patients were interviewed and examined by the authors and the ocular findings were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed using Instat GraphPad™ v2.05a statistical package software. The means, standard deviation, and the Kruskal-Wallis non parametric test were performed.Results:Forty-seven patients with leukemias were seen. Nineteen patients (40.4%) had CLL, 14(29.8%) had CML, 9(19.1%) had AML and 5(10.6%) had ALL. Seven patients (14.9%) had ocular disorders due to leukemia. The ocular disorders due to the leukemia were proptosis in two patients (4.3%), retinopathy in one patient (2.1%), conjunctival infiltration in one patient (2.1%), periorbital edema in one patient (2.1%), retinal detachment in one patient (2.1%), and subconjunctival hemorrhage in one patient (2.1%). There was no significant difference in rate of the ocular disorders in the various types of leukemia (Kruskal-Wallis KW= 4.019; corrected for ties. P=0.2595). One patient (2.1%) was blind from bilateral exudative retinal detachment while 1 patient (2.1%) had monocular blindness from mature cataract.Conclusions:Ophthalmic disorders that are potentially blinding occur in leukemias. Ophthalmic evaluation is needed in these patients for early identification and treatment of blinding conditions.

“…Altogether, the carcinogenic effect of PAHs and the fact shown in the studies that the C 10 -C 13 PCAs inhibit intercellular communication in rat liver epithelial cells, suggest that these chemicals may be acting as tumor promoters (Kato and Kennek 1996) and could accelerate environmental and public health hazards such as malignant lymphomas (Omoti and Halim 2005;Omoti 2006) and soft-tissue sarcomas (SeleyeFubara et al 2005), already reported in Niger Delta region of Nigeria. …”

Surface water samples were collected from midNiger Delta, Nigeria, Bayelsa, Delta and Rivers States with high petroleum activities. The impact of these activities on potable water was investigated by determination of polyaromatic and straight chain hydrocarbon contents. The 16 US EPA priority polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons PAHs, straight chain hydrocarbon (C 8 -C 40 ), pH, temperature, chloride (Cl − ), were determined. Pseudomonas sp, Proteus sp, Bacillus sp, Penicillium sp, Achromobacter sp and Aspergillus sp were also determined. All the parameters were determined using their respective standard methods. Anieze river in Port-Harcourt had six (6) PAHs-Acenaphthene (0.015 mg/l), 1,2-Benzanthracene (0.004 mg/l), Benzo(b) fluoranthene (0.064 mg/l), Benzo(g, h, i) perylene (0.009 mg/l), Dibenzo(a, h) anthracene (0.040 mg/l) and chrysene (0.015 mg/l). Orash river had chrysene (0.017 mg/l) and fluorene (0.109 mg/l). Only Ifie-Kporo river in Delta State had Dibenzo(a, h) anthracene (4.350 mg/l), while none of the water samples from Bayelsa had any of 16 PAHs. Straight chain aliphatic hydrocarbon of the order C 8 -C 14 were not detected in majority of the samples, whereas C 15 -C 40 were detected in most of the samples with highest to lowest concentrations in water samples from Rivers, Delta and Bayelsa States, respectively. Temperatures above 30°C were seen in some water bodies and highest chloride level was seen in Ozubo river (Rivers state) 17,198.00 ± 0.06 mg/l and 15,850.00 ± 0.03 mg/l in dry and rainy seasons respectively. The pH of all the samples are within internationally accepted limits, except Egbo stream (pH 5.53), Olomoro burrow pit stream (pH 5.79) and Ughewhe stream (pH 5.32), all in Delta State; while Orash river (pH 5.22). In view of the negative impact of surface water in the Niger Delta by petroleum activities and its possible public health importance, we recommend water quality monitoring and suggest the possibility of developing a biomarker for determining the age of a particular pollution.
