Item Ear Disease in the Elderly Hospital Patients in Nigeria.(Published by Gerontological Society of America by C.C. Thomas, Washington DC., 2006) Ologe, F.E.,; Segun-Busari, S.,; Abdulraheem, I.S.,; Afolabi, O.A.Background. Little information is available about the pattern of ear diseases in the elderly population. Therefore, the present study aims to determine the pattern of ear diseases among elderly Nigerians, so as to provide an objective basis for cost-effective health care planning for the emerging geriatric population. Methods. A retrospective study of 320 patients aged 60 years or older presenting with ear diseases at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Nigeria, between January 1996 and December 2001 was carried out. Results, Impacted cerumen was the most common ear disease, occurring in 110 (34.4%) patients of the study population. Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) was the most common infectious dise1!se:affecting 28 (8.8%) patients. Of the 88 patients with hearing loss, 63 (71.6%) had sensorineural, 20 (22.7%) had presbycusis, I (1.1%) had conductive, and 4 (4.6%) had mixed hearing loss. Conclusion. Our data suggest that impacted cerumen, hearing loss, and infections (notably CSoM), are the common ear diseases among elderly Nigerians.Item Epistaxis: A Five year Review,(Published by Medical Services Department, Saudi Arabian Armed Forces, ; Staples Printers Rochester Ltd Great Britain., 2006) Olatoke, F.,; Ologe, F.E.,; Alabi, B.S.,; Dunmade, A.D.,; Segun-Busari, S.; Afolabi, O.A.A medical emergency deserves appropriate and timely intervention. Epistaxis is one of such emergency seen by Otolaryngologists. A retrospective study carried out on patients who presented with epistaxis at the University of llorin Teaching Hospital over a 5-year (1999-2003) period. Information on these patients was retrieved from hospital's patients' attendance register and case notes after due permission from relevant hospital authorities. A total of 1153 cases of adult and pediatric emergencies were seen during the period under review; 342 (29.6%) were aural; 508 (44.1%) were nasal and 303 (26.2%) were throat related. Epistaxis constituted 46.5% of the nasal emergencies while foreign bodies in the nose constituted 20.4%, acute rhino sinusitis 11.2%, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhealO.2%; nasal furunculosis 9.8% and septal hematoma/septal abscess 1.9% In conclusion, epistaxis constitutes a major ENT emergency in Nigeria; adults are dominant victims.Trauma was the most common etiological factor revealed by this study followed by idiopathic cause.Item Parental Satisfaction with Post-Adenotonsillectomy in the Developing World(Published by Elsevier, Amsterdam., 2009) Afolabi, O.A.,; Alabi, B.S.,; Ologe, F.E.,; Dunmade, A.D.; Segun-Busari, S.Aim/background: Tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures by the otolaryngologists in the pediatric population. The aim of this study is to evaluate parental expectation and satisfaction following tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy. Materials and methods: Hospital-based prospective study of all consented parents whose children had tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy over a period of 13 months (February 2008 to February 2009) using a cross-sectional method. Pre- and post-surgical questionnaire-based Interview was conducted for them and information retrieved included biodata, pre- and post-surgical symptoms on follow-up in the clinic of obstructive sleep apnoea, snoring, mouth breathing and rhinorrhea, parental expectation and satisfaction after surgery. All data were entered into statistical data using SPSS version 11 and analyzed and the results are presented in tables and figures. Results: A total of 29 patients had adenotonsillar surgery, who were within the age range of 1.50–14 years with a mean age of 5.50 (SD = 4.06 0.75). M:F ratio was found to be 3:1 (22 males and 7 females). Parents were satisfied with the expected outcome in terms of symptoms post-operatively in 96.6% while only one 3.4% were not satisfied. Conclusion: Majority of the parents (96.6%) were satisfied with the expectation of immediate resolution of symptoms; however, obstructive adenotonsillar hypertrophy remains an important problem to be solved to achieve total parental satisfaction in adenotonsillar operations.Item Pattern of Bacterial Isolates in the Middle Ear Discharge of Patients with Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media in a Tertiary Hospital in North Central Nigeria(Published by Faculty of Medicine, Makerere University Kampala, Uganda, 2012) Afolabi, O.A.,; Salaudeen, A.G.,; Ologe, F.E.,; Nwabuisi, C.; Nwawolo, C.C.Background Otitis media (OM) is a major health problem in both developed and developing countries. Objective To determine the pattern of bacterial isolates in patients with chronic suppurative otitis media(CSOM) in Ilorin, Nigeria. Methods A prospective study carried out in University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Nigeria among consenting patients with CSOM attending the ENT clinic over a period of 7months. Informed consent was obtained from the patients or caregivers and approval for the study obtained from ethical committee. Structured questionnaire was administered and microbiological analysis done, data obtained was entered into SPSS statistical software and results presented in tables and figures. Results A total of 134 patients aged 5–64yrs with chronic suppurative otitis media were interviewed with a mean age of 17.0 (S.D. =15.1±1.30). About 55.2% of the respondents were under 10yrs. Seventy-two (53.7%) of the respondents were males with M:F=1.2:1. The gram stain showed predominantly gram negative organisms (71.6%). Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the commonest middle ear pathogenic organism identified and the sensitivity pattern highly favoured ciprofloxacin Conclusion CSOM is still a childhood problem among the under tens' more prevalent among males and the commonest agent is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Ciprofloxacin is still the most sensitive antibiotics in vitro.Item Penetrating Aero‑digestive Fish bone injury(Published by Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Jos. Jos, Nigeria., 2013) Afolabi, O.A.,; Bolaji, Adebola, S.O., B.O.,; Ogah, S.A.; Ologe, F.E.,The aim of the report is to re‑emphasize how dangerous fish bone impaction in the esophagus could be and that a combination of pointing sign with radiographic features improves the specificity of the diagnosis. A 45‑year‑old male civil servant presented with 4 days history of fish bone impaction in the throat while taking meal containing fish with accidental ingestion of fish bone. This was associated with odynophagia, dysphagia, drooling of saliva, failed attempted dislodgement with swallowed boluses and positive pointing sign. Neck X‑ray showed prevertebral widening and radio‑opaque tracheoesophageal penetrating foreign body. He had endoscopy under general anesthesia with retrieval of the fish bone. Laryngo‑ esophagoscopy showed a laceration in the esophageal mucosal, which penetrated into the laryngeal inlet. This case report re‑emphasizes the danger of attempting to dislodge such sharp foreign bodies with boluses of food.
