Hydatid cyst of the spine a study of 25 patients

Background: The spine is rarely affected by Hydatid cyst with incidence of (1%) of all cases. Despite
advances in imaging as well as surgical and medical treatment, spine Hydatid cyst (H.C) is associated
with high degree of morbidity, disability, and mortality.
Objective: To assess the clinical presentation, imaging of spine H.C. & the outcome of surgical
management regarding neurological recovery, recurrence and mortality.
Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective study of the 25 patients of spine Hydatid cyst during
five years period (Jan.2010 to Jan.2015), where diagnosed and treated at medical city. All patients
after proper clinical assessment, imaging and laboratory tests had underwent posterior decompression
laminactomy and removal of all Hydatid cyst without spine instrumentation. They received
Elbendazol drugs (antihelmantic drugs) for three months with follow up six months to two years.
Results: They presented with paraplegia in (48%), paraparesis of lower limbs in (32%), local pain and
radiculopathy in (12%) and asymptomatic in (8%). The spinal level was affected by hydatid cyst
lumbar (64%), dorsal (24%), cervical (8%) and sacral (4%). 23 patients posterior decompression
laminectomies were done, 8 patients re-do surgery and 2 patients had evacuation of subcutaneous
multiple Hydatid cyst.Complete neurological recovery was achieved in (100%) of cases after primary
surgery, but recurrence rate was in (21) patients (84%) and worsening of neurological status in two
patients (8%).
Conclusions: Management of Hydatid cyst spine disease is challenging because of high recurrence
rate, requiring aggressive and repeated surgeries with high rate of surgical complications and
significant long term morbidity.Results are not satisfactory and prognosis is poor.

خلفية الموضوع :ان العمود الفقري يصاب بالاكياس المائية بنسبة قليلة جدا (1%), بالرغم من التقدم التقني بالتصوير الشعاعي والعاج الجراحي والعقاقير الطبية لازال المرض ينتج عنه درجة عالية من العوق والمعانات و الوفيات.

الغاية من الدراسة:هو تقيم الاعراض السريرية والفحوصات الشعاعية ونتائج العلاج الجراحي من ناحية حدوث المضاعافات والوفيات وتحسن الحالة العصبية السريرية للمريض.

طرق العمل:دراسه رجعية ومستقبلية تشمل 25 مريض يعاني من الاكياس المائية في العمود الفقري خلال خمسة سنوات في مدينة الطب (2010-2015) بعد اجراء الفحوصات السريرية و الشعاعية الازمة اجريت لجميع المرضى عملية فتح الفقرات من الخلف مع رفع الاكياس المائية وبدون تثبيت الفقرات مع اعطاء علاج البندازول لمدة ثلاثة اشهر مع المتابعة الطبية ولمدة تتراوح من ستة اشهر الى سنتين.

النتائج: الاعراض السريرية كانت شلل الاطراف الكامل بنسبة( 48%) وشلل الاطراف الجزئي(32%) مع الالم الظهر والساق (12%) وبدون اعراض سريرية (8%) ,اجريت 23 عملية فتح الفقرات مع رفع الاكياس المائية والضغط على الاعصاب و الحبل الشوكي مع تحسن واضح وكبير في حركة الاطراف بعد اجراء العملية الاولى , تم اعادة فتح الفقرات مع رفع الاكياس المائية الراجعة مجدد في ثمانية مرضى .

التوصيات: بالرغم من تحسن حالة المريض المصاب بالاكياس المائية في الفقرات بعد اجراء التداخل الجراحي الاولي الا انه لازال العلاج الجراحي معقد وصعب بسبب عودة المرض مرات متعدده وبدرجة عاليه وشديده مع نسبة عالية من المضاعفات والعوق و الوفيات .

The dynamics of the oil industry in shaping land uses: a case study of the Zubair oil field

The emergence of oil fields and subsequent changes in adjacent land use are known to affect settlements and communities. Everywhere the industry emerges, there is little understanding about the impact of oil fields on land use in the surrounding areas. The oil industry in Iraq is one of the most important industries and is almost the main industry in the Iraqi economic sector, and it is very clear that this industry is spread over large areas, and at the same time adjoins with population communities linked to it developmentally.

The rapid development and expansion of oil extraction activities in various regions has led to many challenges related to land-use planning and management. Here, the problem of research  arises on th

Estimation of immunoglobulins levels in the sera of patients infected with liver hydatid cysts

This study included 46 patients with liver hydatid cyst diagnosed clinically and surgically, control group consist of 22 were naïve from infection had been confirmed by specialist. The patients were divided according to the size of the cysts into more and less than 5 cm diameter size, were 33 and 13 respectively. Also it divided into primary and secondary hydatid cyst infection which were 30 and 16 respectively. The role of immunological response against hydatid cyst parasite, showed a significant increased in humoral immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM and IgE) which were significantly higher in the hydatid cyst infection than control. Also significant increased in immunoglobulins in secondary infection than primary infection, beside significa

Simulation Study of Mass Transfer Coefficient in Slurry Bubble Column Reactor Using Neural Network

 

The objective of this study was to develop neural network algorithm, (Multilayer Perceptron), based correlations for the prediction overall volumetric mass-transfer coefficient (kLa), in slurry bubble column for gas-liquid-solid systems. The Multilayer Perceptron is a novel technique based on the feature generation approach using back propagation neural network. Measurements of overall volumetric mass transfer coefficient were made with the air - Water, air - Glycerin and air - Alcohol systems as the liquid phase in bubble column of 0.15 m diameter. For operation with gas velocity in the range 0-20 cm/sec, the overall volumetric mass transfer coefficient was found to decrease w
