Previous Series

In a five-year prospective study,1188 consecutive adult patients were admitted and treated for acute generalized peritonitis at the Surgical Emergency Unit of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, Kumasi, Ghana. Appendicitis and typhoid ileal perforation were the commonest causes, occurring in 43.1% and 35.1% of patients, respectively. Other conditions (gastroduodenal perforations, ruptured abscesses, traumatic bowel perforations and amoebic colonic perforations) accounted for fewer than 25% of cases. This paper notes that acute appendicitis and typhoid perforation remain the leading causes of peritonitis in Ghana. Compared with previous series, the importance of appendicitis in acute peritonitis has diminished. The complications of communicable diseases now cause peritonitis more commonly than 35 years ago. This may reflect deteriorating conditions of sanitation and housing during the intervening period.

Emergency Abdominal Operation

Background: Emergency abdominal surgery continues to form a major workload of the general surgeon. As a result of variation of causes, there is need to revisit and review the pattern of presentation, management and outcome. There had been previous studies from Korle Bu Teaching hospital and Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital both in Ghana, but this is from Cape Coast Teaching Hospital (CCTH), Central Region, Ghana. The objective is to determine the pattern of presentation and indications for surgery in patients who had emergency abdominal surgical operation in CCTH.Methods: All patients who had emergency abdominal surgical operations at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital from 1st January 2011 to 25th October 2012 were retrospectively reviewed.Results: Four hundred and eleven patients had emergency abdominal operation over a period of 22 months. The mean age at presentation was 36.3 years (SD 19.3). Male to Female ratio was 2.3:1. Intestinal obstruction was the commonest indication for surgery followed by appendicitis and typhoid ileal perforation. Obstructed abdominal wall hernia was the commonest cause of intestinal obstruction.Conclusions: Early reporting in hospital and access to hernia repair will reduce the morbidity and mortality known to be associated with this condition.

Prescribing Practice

Irrational use of medicine is a major problem worldwide. Phartnaceutical drug promotion is a means of informing health professionals about new drugs. The approach is often unethical and inappropriate and may promote irrational prescribing. Sources of drug information are one of the important indicators of irrational drug use by the practitioners in developing countries. A randomized cross sectional study was done to evaluate and empire the knowledge about drug information and indicators of rational drug use among the practitioners in Dhaka city. 183 practitioners were randomly selected and interviewed in Iwo groups. Ninety of them were selected from Holy Family Red Crescent Medical College (HFRCMC) an autonomous teaching hospital in Dhaka city. Ninety three practitioners front non-teaching hospitals of Dhaka city were also interviewed by tatijOrm structured questionnaire comprising the sources of drug information and rational drug use indicators by WHO and buentational Network for Rational Use of Drug (1NRUD) criteria.. The interviews were taken during February 2010 to July 2010 by the mulergrachtate medical students of third year am! fourth year. 71% doctors of HFRCMC considered the interned and 73% doctors front other group considered the company literature as the source of drug information. Use of medical journal and BDNF was very low in both the groups. The overall awareness and strength of rational prescribing practice was found poor in comparison to 11FRCMC. Most of the practitioners (84% and 71%).were found concerned and informed about the prices of drug that indicates the strength of rational practice of pharmaco economics.
