“…"It is an integral part of the plastic surgery specialty. Aesthetic surgery is erroneously believed to be a modern discipline; actually, the oldest evidence is represented by the papyrus of Edwin Smith, dating back to 3000 BC, where different face plastic surgeries are described [2]. Aesthetic surgery procedures are of great help to correct physical defects, partially or totally, allowing an increase in patients' confidence and self-esteem.…”

“…The most commonly involved portions of the body include the nose, ears, and breasts. These sites, due to the important role they play in interpersonal relationships, when not in accordance with common aesthetic standards, can be limiting" [2]. "This branch of plastic surgery has shown a tremendous increase in the United States with a record 299% increase between 1997 and 2003" [3].…”

Background: Aesthetic surgery though growing at an exponential rate in developed countries is still not well developed in Nigeria. Though lately, there has been an increasing demand for cosmetic procedures in Nigeria but still, the practice is still slow growing. Objective: Few reports of the scope of aesthetic surgery are available from the sub region and Nigeria as a whole. In this study we seek to determine the aesthetic procedures and its indications in our centre, a sub urban teaching hospital in Irrua, Edo State, Southern Nigeria. Methods: A retrospective study of all aesthetic surgery cases carried out over a 5-year period – Jan 2019 to December 2023 at Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital. Data from theatre records and case notes were analysed with respect to age, sex, procedure and indications for surgery done. Descriptive analysis of variables, means and percentages were considered. Results: In the period of study, 1,066 plastic surgery procedures were documented: 34 (3.19%) were for aesthetic indications. Sixteen of the patients (47.1%) were male and 18 (52.9%) female. Age range of patients that had aesthetic surgery was 1 - 60 years and the mean age was 24.1 + 18.08 years. The commonest aesthetic procedure was cleft repair 14 (41.17%) following cleft lip/palate, the rest were scar revisions 6 (17.65%) with the commonest indication being unsightly scar, otoplasties 5 (14.70%) following traumatic injury to the ear, liposuction 3 (8.82%) indicated by lipodystrophy, rhinoplasties 3 (8.82%) post traumatic injury to the nose, mammoplasties 2 (5.88%) which were done post mastectomy, and one (2.94%) cranioplasty following gun-shot orbital injury. Conclusion: There is paucity in the volume of cosmetic procedures in Irrua and the pattern of requests here differs in many respects from western centres. With the current reduced pool of aesthetic surgery, it is advisable to establish an aesthetic surgery sub-unit in most tertiary institutions. This sub-unit should be fully functional including special clinic days, as this could help attract future clients and develop this branch of Plastic Surgery.

“…New LBBB may be considered as equivalent to acute coronary syndrome with ST segment elevation, or may complicate the obvious acute coronary syndrome with ST segment elevation; while old LBBB can make diagnosis difficult, and some scores like Sgarbossa score, Modified Sgarbossa rule or BARCELONA Algorithm, allow the diagnosis of ACS with ST segment elevation. [3] The left bundle brunch is irrigated by atrioventricular node artery which frequently originates from the right coronary artery, or by the septal branch of the left anterior descending artery, or both. [4] After acute coronary artery occlusion, ischemia and necrosis are the principal mechanisms of complete LBBB.…”

Background: Complete left bundle branch in acute coronary syndrome with ST segment elevation is not common, but known as a sign of poor prognosis. Several international studies had reported its incidence and related mortality, but its epidemiological data is lacking in Algeria. Aims: The main objective of our study is the determination of the frequency of complete left bundle branch block in acute coronary syndrome with ST segment elevation, the secondary objective was the analysis of its predictive factors and related mortality. Methods and materials: In this prospective study, conducted in the cardiology department of Hussein Dey hospital (Algiers-Algeria), 467 patients with acute coronary syndrome with elevated ST segment (87 women and 380 men) were enrolled between 28 February 2014 and 16 July 2015. The average age is 60 ± 13 years; at admission, a Holter recorder was attached for continuous ECG monitoring during 48 hours. Kruskal’s ANNOVA or H tests were used for comparison of quantitative variables, χ2 test or Fisher’s exact test, were used for qualitative variables, all tests were performed with 1st species risk of 5%. Results: The frequency of complete left bundle brunch block is 1.7 % (8 patients), CI 95%: [0.5%-2.9%], multivariate analysis identified the two independent predictors: diabetes type 1, and Angiotensin Receptor-Blockers as current treatment. Despite the risk of mortality expressed by Hazard Ration (HR) is 4.7, but remains not significant: CI95%: [0.62-36], p = 0.134; however, the risk of ventricular fibrillation occurrence is high, with relative risk (RR) at 7.17, CI 95 %: [2.70-19.03], p = 0.007. Conclusion: Complete left bundle brunch block is not common in acute coronary syndrome with elevated ST segment, its predictive factors according to our study are: Diabetes type 1 and Angiotensin Receptor-Blockers as current treatment. The high-risk mortality in the left bundle brunch block group isn’t significant; however the risk of ventricular fibrillation occurrence is high.
