Article Synopsis
- Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant issue in sub-Saharan Africa, affecting surgical outcomes in patients undergoing major surgeries, with rates often underreported.
- A study at the University College Hospital in Nigeria highlighted that among 219 patients, 18.7% experienced AKI within 24 hours post-surgery, with key risk factors including elevated pre-operative serum creatinine levels, sepsis, anemia, and prolonged surgery duration.
- The findings reveal a stark contrast in mortality rates, with 20.4% of patients with AKI dying compared to just 5.3% in those without, emphasizing the need for better recognition and management of AKI in surgical settings.
Background: Axillary lymph node (LN) status of patients with breast cancer is important in the surgical management. Sonographic evaluation of axillary LNs in newly diagnosed breast cancer is required to predict prognosis.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the morphologic features by sonographic evaluation of the cortices and sinuses as well as patterns of blood flow of axillary LNs and correlate same with the clinical staging in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer in a tertiary referral centre.
Background: Modified radical mastectomy remains the standard therapeutic surgical operation for breast cancer in most parts of the world. This retrospective study reviews mastectomy for management of breast cancer in a surgical oncology division over a ten year period.
Methods: We reviewed the case records of consecutive breast cancer patients who underwent mastectomy at the Surgical Oncology Division, University College Hospital (UCH) Ibadan between November 1999 and October 2009.
