“…2017). Primary muscular hydatid cysts are commonly asymptomatic for this the diagnosis highly dependent on imaging techniques to detect the cystic space-occupying lesion (Raheef Alatassi et al 2018). These include Xray radiography, taking into consideration that only 38% of patients will show soft tissue masses and calcification via X-ray radiography (Combalia, S. Sastre-Solsona.…”

“…The surgical approach must be individualized depending on the cyst features. However the total excision of the cyst to avoid its rupture and spillage is the gold standard treatment (Raheef Alatassi et al 2018) Percutaneous aspiration, infusion of scolicidal agents, and re-aspiration, under imaging guidance, can be used as an alternative to surgery in inoperable case (Samer Makki, Mohamed Al-Hakkak. 2018).…”

Anaemia is a global health problem, whose development is influenced by several factors. Helicobacter pylori infection is among the factors associated with anaemia. Long term interruption of malaria transmission in the highland area of Kipsamoite led to an increase of haemoglobin levels in some few individuals. However, there are still reported cases of low Hb levels associated with anaemia. In studies that have been done on the role of H. pylori infections on anaemia, researchers hold varied views on whether or not H. pylori infections play a role in iron deficiency anaemia. This study investigated the association between H. pylori infections and anaemia in children aged 5-15 years in Western highland region of Kenya. The study adopted a case-control design and purposive sampling technique was used in selection of subjects. Haemoglobin levels and H. pylori occurrence were measured and entered into Microsoft excel. These data was summarized into descriptive statistics. Chisquare was used in hypotheses testing. A total of 105 participants were enrolled, 35 were cases and 70 were the controls. The mean haemoglobin level was found to be statistically significantly (p<0.00), haemoglobin of cases was lower (11.05 ± 1.726) than that of controls (13.01±1.897). The proportion of anaemic children among the cases was 77.1% (27) while the non-anaemic were 22.9% (8). The Chi-square showed positive statistical significant difference (p<0.05) between cases and controls. The study concluded that there was a great association between H. pylori infection and occurrence of anaemia in Western region of Kenya.

“…The thoracic spine is most commonly involved followed by the lumbar and then the sacral. 1 2 We report a 21-year-old female who presented with nonhealing ulcer in the right leg, gradually progressing back pain radiating to both lower limbs, paraparesis, and urinary complaints, such as urgency and frequency, for a duration of 3 months. She hailed from rural Eastern India and belonged to low socioeconomic strata.…”

“…Unusual site of primary hydatid cysts is attributed to the passage of oncospheres through precapillary anastomosis bypassing the lung and liver parenchyma. 2 The cyst attains huge size due to the absence of pericyst and remains asymptomatic for years. Clinical presentation is nonspecific and occurs due to compression caused by the expanding cyst on the adjacent structures.…”
