“…The male predominance (60.5% vs 39.5%) was consistent with studies from Iran (62% vs 38%), Norway (75% male neonates) and Saudi Arabia (63% males). 14,21 Sex did not influence the development of ON, which is in agreement with other similar studies. 11,14 There was a relationship between conjunctivitis and neonatal body weight (Table 2).…”

“…14,21 Sex did not influence the development of ON, which is in agreement with other similar studies. 11,14 There was a relationship between conjunctivitis and neonatal body weight (Table 2). However, close to 97% of neonates in this study had normal weight thus suggesting the risk for ON cannot be explained based on birth weight.…”

“…Similar studies which reported on mothers having premature rupture of membranes, indicated that there was no statistically significant relationship between development of neonatal conjunctivitis and rupture of membranes. 8,14,15,26 Also, caesarean section was found to have a significant correlation with ON in the present study (Table 2). This could be due manipulative nature of the procedure and the possible contamination of the caesarean section.…”

“…The Chocolate agar plates were incubated under anaerobic conditions using CO 2 jar for Neisseria gonorrhoea whereas the other plates were incubated at 37 °C for a minimum of 24 hours. 14 The isolate bacteria were identified using standard microbiological procedures which included colonial morphology, gram staining and biochemical tests. The susceptibility patterns of bacterial isolates to antibiotics were determined using the disc-diffusion tests (Kirby-Bauer).…”

“…5 Predisposing risk factors include premature rupture of membranes (PROM), the place of delivery, maternal infections of the lower genital tract, prolonged labour, low Apgar score, neonatal sepsis, low birth weight, premature labour, amniotic fluid stained with meconium, low socioeconomic status, unhygienic environment, absence of eye prophylaxis, unsterile handling of neonates by relatives and nutritional deficiency during pregnancy. 1,8,13,14 Among the various causes of ophthalmia neonatorum, PROM has been found to be the most important. 1,8,15 Treatment for neonatal conjunctivitis is based on clinical presentations and laboratory results.…”

In developing countries such as Ghana, ophthalmia neonatorum (ON) remains a public health concern. This is because of its unknown etiology patterns, the growing concerns of antibiotic resistance strains and the contribution of ON to childhood blindness. This study was therefore conducted to determine the causative agents, risk factors and the antibiotic sensitivity patterns of micro-organisms associated with ON. A clinic-based prospective study was conducted in the Maternal and Child Health units of 6 health care facilities in the Central region of Ghana over a period of 17 months. Conjunctival swabs were taken from all neonates with clinical signs of ON. Isolation and characterization of bacteria were done using standard microbiological methods. Additionally, data were collected and analyzed on neonate’s demographics and clinical features of ON. Microbial growth was recorded in 86 cases (52.4%) out of the 110 neonates assessed. Staphylococcus spp. (39.2% of all positive cultures) was the most common causative organism. No case of gonococcus was isolated. Delivery method, vaginal discharge, administration of prophylaxis and weight of neonate were the risk factors associated with the development of ON ( P < .05). The level of resistance to Tetracycline was found to be 73%. Neonatal conjunctivitis is more likely to be acquired postnatal. Culture and sensitivity testing are required as an important guide for treatment. The commonest causative organism, Staphylococcus spp., were found to be resistant to Teteracyline, therefore is the need to consider alternatives measures in the prevention and control of ON.

BackgroundThe treatment and prognostic factors of intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) remain lacking systematic evidence.MethodsA retrospective study was conducted on IVL patients from the Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, and IVL cases were published in PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane Library databases. Descriptive statistics were used for the basic characteristics of patients. The Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to assess the high-risk factors related to the progression-free survival (PFS). The comparison of survival curves was performed by Kaplan–Meier analysis.ResultsA total of 361 IVL patients were included in this study, 38 patients from Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, and 323 patients from the published literature. Age ≤45 years was observed in 173 (47.9%) patients. According to the clinical staging criteria, stage I/II was observed in 125 (34.6%) patients, and stage III/IV was observed in 221 (61.2%) patients. Dyspnea, orthopnea, and cough were observed in 108 (29.9%) patients. Completed tumor resection was observed in 216 (59.8%) patients, and uncompleted tumor resection was observed in 58 (16.1%) patients. Median follow-up period was 12 months (range 0–194 months), and 68 (18.8%) recurrences or deaths were identified. The adjusted multivariable Cox proportional hazard analysis showed age ≤45 years (vs. >45) (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.09, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.15–3.80, p = 0.016), and uncompleted tumor resection (vs. completed tumor resection) (HR = 22.03, 95% CI 8.31–58.36, p < 0.001) were high-risk factors related to the PFS.ConclusionPatients with IVL have a high probability of recurrence after surgery and a poor prognosis. Patients younger than 45 years and with uncompleted tumor resection are at higher risk of postoperative recurrence or death.
