We organised a retrospective study of 240 patients who presented with ameloblastomas to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery units of five specialist hospitals in the eastern states of Nigeria over an eight-year period (2004-2011). Our aim was to summarise the clinical characteristics and presentation of ameloblastomas in eastern Nigeria. Human intervention (79.2%) plays the most important role in birds of prey morbidity and mortality.Ĭlinical characteristics and presentation of ameloblastomas: an 8-year retrospective study of 240 cases in Eastern Nigeria.Ĭhukwuneke, F N Anyanechi, C E Akpeh, J O Chukwuka, A Ekwueme, O C
In total, 229 (56.9%) of the presented raptors were successfully rehabilitated and released, 121 (30%) were rehabilitated but nonreleasable, whereas 52 (12.9%) of them died despite treatment. Surgical and medical treatment was given to all birds when necessary. Orphans (n = 31, 7.7%) were presented during breeding season primarily because of inappropriate human intervention. Starvation (n = 38 birds, 9.4%) was the second most common reason, whereas toxicoses (n = 28, 6.9%) were suspected in a limited number of birds. Traumatic injuries (n = 305, 75.8%) were the most common cause of presentation in all raptors. Representatives of 19 species were admitted from taxonomic orders Accipitriformes (n = 295), Falconiformes (n = 35), and Strigiformes (n = 72). Komnenou, A Th Georgopoulou, I Savvas, I Dessiris, AĪ retrospective study was conducted on free-ranging raptors (n = 402) presented to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, School of Veterinary Medicine, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, during a 3-yr period (1997-2000). Implementation of policy such as compulsory helmet use, as well as popularization of EB road safety education should be considered to improve the current situation of EB-related injuries in China.Ī retrospective study of presentation, treatment, and outcome of free-ranging raptors in Greece (1997-2000). Therefore, it is necessary to establish injury prevention and strategies for EB road safety. Fracture (56.5%) was the most frequently diagnosed injury type, and head was the most commonly injured body region (31.1%).EB-related injuries have become a major health concern, making up a sizeable proportion of injuries presenting to the emergency department. The median hospitalization cost was 14,269 USD. Moreover, 34.9% underwent surgery and 24.7% were admitted to intensive care unit. In addition, most of EB-related cases (44.6%) belonged to the 41- to 60-year-old age group. There were 1460 cases of traffic accidents, of which 482 cases were EB-related (32.7%). Data captured included demographics, injury characteristics, and outcomes.A total of 3156 cases were reviewed in the present study. Cases were identified from medical records according to diagnosis codes.
In the present study, we aimed to characterize the pattern and outcomes of EB-related injuries presenting to a major general hospital in China.This was a retrospective review of EB-related injuries presenting to Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from 2008 to 2011. The use of electric bicycles (EBs) in China is growing.
