Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Little information is available on male breast cancer (MBC) incidence from sub-Saharan Africa. OBJECTIVE: This is a retrospective study on MBC in rural North Uganda, based on the pathology records of a private, non-profit, missionary hospital. METHODS: All male patients that had histological diagnosis of breast carcinoma from January 2009 to December 2016 were included in this study. RESULTS: In time span of 8 years, there were 337 consecutive breast cancer presentations, including 21 MBC (6.2%). The latter patients showed advanced disease (mean symptom duration: 20.3 months; mean tumour size: 5 cm) skin ulceration and ipsilateral lymph node metastasis: 60%). The mean age was 60.52 years (from 30 to 85 yrs). Ductal infiltrating carcinoma was the prevalent histological type in our series (65%), followed by an unusually high rate of papillary carcinomas (15%). There appeared to be a prevalence for left breasts (11 LT versus 6 RT; 64.7%), a finding also observed in the majority of MBC. CONCLUSIONS: This study is representative of the scenario in Northern Uganda, where MBC accounts for 6.2% of breast cancers, More information on the occurrence and risk factors of this unusual neoplasm in African countries may prompt prevention of chronic liver disease and early recognition and treatment of MBC.

Abstract:

Power outages of the electricity grid threaten the proper operation of critical infrastructure such as hospitals. To cope with this problem, emergency diesel generators (DGs) are often used to guarantee continuous and resilient electricity supply, resulting in increased costs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Thus, this study aims to investigate the economic feasibility of both reducing and replacing emergency diesel generators with solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and demand-side management. A mixed-integer quadratically constrained program is used to find the optimal configuration in terms of capacities of new assets, as well as the optimal scheduling of both BESS and flexible loads, that minimises the levelised cost of energy (LCOE). The model is applied to an existing hospital and its surrounding community located in Gulu, Uganda. The results show that full replacement of the DGs will require an additional 500 kWp of PV and 1591 kWh of BESS. This new configuration will decrease LCOE by 26% compared to the actual situation, with a simple payback time of 6.2 years and a reduction of 74% in GHG emissions.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The largest outbreak on record of Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) occurred in Uganda from August 2000 to January 2001. The outbreak was centered in the Gulu district of northern Uganda, with secondary transmission to other districts. After the initial diagnosis of Sudan ebolavirus by the National Institute for Virology in Johannesburg, South Africa, a temporary diagnostic laboratory was established within the Gulu district at St. Mary's Lacor Hospital. The laboratory used antigen capture and reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) to diagnose Sudan ebolavirus infection in suspect patients. The RT-PCR and antigen-capture diagnostic assays proved very effective for detecting ebolavirus in patient serum, plasma, and whole blood. In samples collected very early in the course of infection, the RT-PCR assay could detect ebolavirus 24 to 48 h prior to detection by antigen capture. More than 1,000 blood samples were collected, with multiple samples obtained from many patients throughout the course of infection. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR was used to determine the viral load in multiple samples from patients with fatal and nonfatal cases, and these data were correlated with the disease outcome. RNA copy levels in patients who died averaged 2 log10 higher than those in patients who survived. Using clinical material from multiple EHF patients, we sequenced the variable region of the glycoprotein. This Sudan ebolavirus strain was not derived from either the earlier Boniface (1976) or Maleo (1979) strain, but it shares a common ancestor with both. Furthermore, both sequence and epidemiologic data are consistent with the outbreak having originated from a single introduction into the human population.

Abstract:

Abstract Context.—Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is endemic in Uganda and because of the high incidence, diagnosis is often presumed during clinical care and epidemiologic studies. Objectives.—To assess the accuracy of the clinical and the local pathology diagnosis of BL as assessed by an outside pathology review diagnosis and to understand the limitations on histopathology practice in a resource-constrained setting at 1 hospital in Uganda. Design.—Clinically presumed pediatric (<15 years) BL cases with biopsies and pathology reports, from 1993 to 2007, were identified at St Mary's Hospital, Lacor (Gulu, Uganda). Local histopathology procedures, hematoxylin-eosin–stained tissue sections, and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks were reviewed onsite by an outside pathologist, followed by outside study that included tissue microarray immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. Results.—Local pathology laboratory procedures were inconsistent and suboptimal, especially for tissue fixation. There were 88 clinically presumed BL cases. Sixty-three could be reviewed by outside pathology (25 cases of lost blocks or no remaining tumor) and showed a clinical diagnostic accuracy of 75% (47 confirmed of 63), with a possible range of 62% to 85%, depending on the actual diagnosis of the 25 nonevaluable cases. There were 64 BL cases diagnosed by local pathology. Forty-five could be reviewed by outside pathology (19 cases of lost blocks or no remaining tumor) and showed a local pathology diagnostic accuracy of 82% (37 confirmed of 45), with a possible range of 58% to 88%, depending on the actual diagnosis of the 19 nonevaluable cases. Non-BL diagnoses included other non-Hodgkin lymphomas, Hodgkin lymphoma, and benign infectious lymphadenopathy. Conclusions.—Accuracy of clinical diagnosis of BL was reduced by inclusion of other diseases with similar clinical presentations. Local pathology, using morphology alone, only marginally improved clinical accuracy and often could not support outside pathology review due to inadequate laboratory procedures. There is an urgent need to improve pathology services in Uganda before conducting high-quality clinical and epidemiologic studies.

Abstract:

Lacor hospital, a mission hospital with a bed capacity of 460, serves the population of northern Uganda — other hospitals in the area use it as a referral hospital. The study was conducted in the endoscopy unit from November 1999 to 31 August 2000. The department of surgery runs the endoscopy unit with the surgeon heading the endoscopy team. Routine diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy is carried out weekly for elective cases, and emergency service is as and when required.
