Abstract

Background: Benzene is a hematotoxic and carcinogenic compound contained in the glue used in the shoe industry. This compound has been suspected of causing decreased leukocyte counts, which is one of the blood cell production disorders. Benzene exposure can be determined by measuring the concentration of S-phenylmercapturic acid (S-PMA) in urine.Objective: This study was conducted to determine the association between S-PMA urine concentration and the leukocyte count of shoe industry workers.Methods: The study design was cross sectional and the data were collected by conducting interviews, analyzing urine samples for S-PMA concentrations, and conducting blood examinations. Chi square and multiple logistic regression were used for the analysis.Results: The results showed there were no concentrations of S-PMA in urine that exceeded the Biological Exposure Index (BEI) value (≤25 μg/g creatinine). Higher S-PMA concentrations in this study show a higher risk of decreased leukocyte counts. When controlling for age, duration of work, history of infection, Body Mass Index (BMI), smoking, occupation, and exercise, workers with high S-PMA urine concentration were found to be at higher risk of a decreased leukocyte count.Conclusion: Although S-PMA urine concentrations were still below BEI values, workers with higher S-PMA urine concentration were more at risk of leukocyte counts of < 5.0 x 103/μL. The decrease in the minimum BEI S-PMA limit value was lower than the current standard may need to be considered.

Abstract

Background: Penile fracture is an emergency and uncommon presentation to the urology department. Immediate surgical repair can be a standard of care for patients with penile fracture. Objective: The study was conducted to evaluate the outcome of surgical repair of the fractured penis.Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted from Jan 2017 to Dec 2018 in the urology department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh. Thirty-five patients with fractures of the penis were included in this study. After proper evaluation, surgery was performed under spinal anesthesia. Follow up was scheduled at 6th week, 3rd month, and 6th month. We used validated questionnaires of the ‘International index of erectile function (IIEF-5)' for married and ‘Single question self-report (SQSR)' for unmarried patients to evaluate postoperative erectile function.Results: Total 35 patients completed three follow up. The mean age of patients was 36.4 years, and 88% of them were married. The most common triggers were for vigorous sexual intercourse (68.5%) followed by history of rolling over in bed with erect penis (20.0%). Per-operative findings were: rupture of tunica albuginea (100%); rupture of corpora cavernosa on the right (65.7%). After 6th month, 28 patients (80%) were able to maintain their normal erectile function. However, seven patients developed erectile dysfunction, of which 4 had a mild form, and 3 had mild to moderate form erectile dysfunction. All patients complained of pain during or after intercourse, but the pain has gradually subsided with time.Conclusion: Immediate surgical exploration and repair of fracture penis can offer complete recovery of sexual and voiding functions.

Abstract

Background: Leprosy is an infectious disease that can cause physical disability, as well as social, economic, and cultural problems. The prevalence of leprosy in Indonesia is still high.Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine patients' behavioral factors that influence the incidence of leprosy.Methods: An ex-post-facto analysis with a case-control approach was used. The population of the study was the entire Brengkok Village community. The sampling technique is a fixed-disease sampling method, in which the all cases (34 persons) are clinically proven leprosy sufferers and the controls (34 persons) are the comparable neighbors of the sufferers. Data analysis was done using a chi-square test, and the risk of disease was measured by the odd ratio (OR).Results: Testing for differences between the case and the control group resulted in p = 0.000 for knowledge about the cause of leprosy, p = 0.005 for detecting an early sign of leprosy, p = 0.000 for knowledge about the transmission of leprosy, and p = 0.000 for affecting the incidence of leprosy. The results showed that there was a relationship between the level of knowledge and the incidence of leprosy (p = 0.002), while the OR value obtained is 7.50 (CI: 2,168 - 25,946). Furthermore, testing for differences between the case and the control group yielded  p = 1.000 for the use of different clothes; p = 0.000 for the use of different bathing tools; p = 0.000 for the use of different towels, which means there is a connection between the use of towels and the incidence of leprosy; and p = 0.003 for the use of different footwear. In addition, there is a relationship between the actions of people and the incidence of leprosy (p = 0.000), while the OR value obtained was 59,933 (CI: 13.131 - 273,557).Conclusion: The knowledge and actions of people affected by leprosy are predisposing factors associated with the incidence of leprosy and are risk factors for the disease. Knowledge about the transmission of leprosy and the activity of using different towels are the most important factors influencing the incidence of leprosy.
