    (Association of General and Private Medical Practitioners of Nigeria, 2021) Oni, O.J; Bolaji, B.O; Kolawole, I.K; Ige, O.A; Oyedepo, O.O; Adegboye, M.B
    Background: The use of preincision low‑dose ketamine as a preemptive analgesic modality has been widely suggested. However, findings from previous studies have remained inconclusive. Materials and Methods: Eighty-two patients scheduled to have elective thyroidectomy under general anesthesia were recruited. The patients were randomly allocated into one of two groups, to receive either 0.5 mg/kg of ketamine intravenously or an equal volume of normal saline, 10 min before surgical incision. At the end of surgery, pain scores, time to first request for analgesic and total opioid requirement in 24 h postoperatively were recorded. Results: There was no significant difference in the postoperative pain scores, time to first requirement for analgesic, postoperative opioid consumption and satisfaction with analgesia between the two groups. The median pain scores at recovery, 2, 6, 12, and 24 h postoperatively for the ketamine and saline groups were not significantly different (P values 0.208, 0.185, 0.412, 0.590, and 0.854 respectively). The times to first request for analgesic were 86.00 ± 56.58 min in the ketamine group and 79.90 ± 68.05 min in the saline group (P = 0.357). The 24‑h opioid (morphine) consumptions were 11.00 ± 3.16 mg in the ketamine group and 13.21 ± 5.87 mg in the control group (P = 0.275). Conclusion: This study concluded that the administration of preincision low-dose ketamine (0.5 mg/kg) did not produce a preemptive analgesic effect in patients who had an elective thyroidectomy.

    (South African Thoracic Society, 2018) Adeoye, Peter; Adeniran, Abiodun; Adesina, Kikelomo; Ige, O.A; Akanbi, O.R; Imhoagene, Aleakhuei; Ibrahim, Kazeem; Ezeoke, Grace
    Background. Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue (stroma and functional glands) outside the uterine cavity in women of reproductive age. Ectopic sites are frequently located in the pelvis; extrapelvic sites have been reported in the gastrointestinal tract and thoracic cavity. Thoracic manifestation of endometriosis constitutes thoracic endometriosis syndrome (TES). Objectives. To examine the presentation pattern and outcome of in the management of TES. Methods. This study is a retrospective review of medical records of patients diagnosed with endometriosis at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital over a 3.5-year period from January 2014 to June 2017. Results. A total of 21 patients presented with endometriosis, of whom 8 (38.1%) presented with TES. The most common variety of TES was catamenial pleural effusion (CPE) accounting for 75%, followed by catamenial chest pain (37.5%). Two patients (25%) each presented with catamenial pneumothorax and catamenial haemoptysis, while 1 (12.5%) had catamenial surgical emphysema. Closed thoracostomy tube drainage plus chemical pleurodesis was the most frequent intervention technique, accounting for 62.5%. Conclusion. TES remains an uncommon entity, despite being the most common extrapelvic manifestation of endometriosis. CPE appeared to be the most common variant of TES in our environment. Currently available treatment options need to be improved, and more used made of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
