Introduction
Osteogenesis imperfecta is a rare inherited connective tissue disorder that results in excessive bone fragility due to defects in collagen production. The majority of osteogenesis imperfecta cases are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, and 17 genetic causes have been identified. Diagnosis is usually based on clinical presentat...
Key Clinical Message
This case emphasizes the challenges in diagnosing and treating Prostatic Duct Adenocarcinoma, especially in resource‐limited settings. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for better patient outcomes, but limited access to advanced diagnostics and specialized treatments significantly hinders the effective management of this...
Key Clinical Message
Neonatal cutaneous myiasis is a rare disease in newborns. Although it is unlikely, the level of suspicion for this condition should be high, especially in tropical regions. Treatment may deviate from the standard approach when necessary, and chemical debridement can be considered, particularly for smaller lesions. Ultimately, c...
Background
The mortality rate associated with open abdominal surgery is a significant concern for patients and healthcare providers. This is particularly worrisome in Africa due to scarce workforce resources and poor early warning systems for detecting physiological deterioration in patients who develop complications.
Methods
This prospective coho...
Cholecystocolonic fistula is a rare condition often diagnosed intraoperatively, requiring an adequate set of knowledge and skills to allow safe intraoperative change of prior planned surgery and alleviate significant morbidity. image
Introduction:
Prostate cancer is the second commonest cancer in men worldwide. At present, every patient with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in St. Mary's Hospital Lacor is undergoing prostate biopsy regardless of the prostate specific antigen (PSA) level. We sought to determine the association between PSA and malignant prostate histology.
M...
Background:
Esophageal candidiasis (OC) is a common AIDS-defining opportunistic infection. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) reduces the occurrence of OC and other opportunistic infections among persons living with HIV (PLHIV). We sought to determine and compare the prevalence of OC in the ART and pre-ART era among PLHIV in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

Jejunoileal atresia is a common cause of neonatal intestinal obstruction with high mortality and morbidity in a low resource setting where surgical care is lacking. Herein, a 4‐day‐old presented with features of acute abdomen and septicemia, managed with ileostomy diversion, and recovered uneventfully. Jejunoileal atresia is a common cause of neona...
Jodhpur disease, now known as primary acquired gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) during infancy and childhood is a rare entity with less than 100 cases. Heineke mikulicz pyloroplasty (HMP) is the mainstay of treatment while other methods of treatment such as gastrojejunostomy and pneumatic balloon dilatation of pylorus have also been effective in so...
Umbilical stump sepsis in a nonpassively immunized neonate poses a high risk to neonatal tetanus. Management of neonatal tetanus is still a great challenge in resource‐limited settings where some health facilities lack tetanus toxoid containing vaccines, ventilator support, and inaccessibility of tetanus immunoglobulin. Umbilical stump sepsis in a...
Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common cause of death in the Intensive care units and emergency departments with an estimated annual global mortality of 1.5 million people as a result of severe TBI. The prevalence of TBI varies according to regions. Despite this, there is limited data on the outcomes of patients following severe traum...
Background:
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of long-term disability and economic loss to society. The aim of this study was to assess the factors affecting mortality after TBI in a resource-poor setting.
Methods:
Chart review was performed for randomly selected patients who presented with TBI between 2013 and 2017 at St Mary's Hosp...
We studied our 30-day postoperative outcomes in patients with non-traumatic gastroduodenal perforation (NTGDP) in Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital, southwestern Uganda. We conducted a one-year prospective study of patients who underwent exploratory laparotomy for suspected NTGDP between June 2016 and July 2017. Twenty-nine patients had NTGDP, the...
