Patent Blue Dye in Lymphaticovenular Anastomosis
Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore - Tập 38 Số 8 - Trang 704-706 - 2009
Introduction: Lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) has been described as a
treatment of chronic lymphoedema. This microsurgical technique is new and
technically difficult. The small caliber and thin wall lymphatic vessels are
difficult to identify and easily destroyed during the dissection. Materials and
Methods: We describe a technique of performing lymphaticovenular anastomosis
with patent blue d...
Neonatal Priapism Associated With Spontaneous Bilateral Pyocavernositis
Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore - Tập 35 Số 6 - Trang 425-427 - 2006
Introduction: Neonatal priapism is known to be associated with a wide range of
aetiologies, but an association with spontaneous purulent cavernositis has not
been reported in the paediatric literature. We report the first of such case.
Clinical Picture: A 24-day-old neonate was brought with the history of
persistent erection of penis since day 4 of life and swollen penis of 4 days’
duration, which...
Epidemiology and Control of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease in Singapore, 2001-2007
Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore - Tập 38 Số 2 - Trang 106-112 - 2009
Introduction: We reviewed the epidemiology of hand, foot and mouth disease
(HFMD) in Singapore after the 2000 epidemic caused by Enterovirus 71 (EV71),
with particular reference to the cyclical pattern, predominant circulating
enteroviruses and impact of prevention and control measures in preschool
centres. Materials and Methods: We analysed the epidemiological data from all
clinical cases and dea...
Melanoma in Singapore: A 20-year review of disease and treatment outcomes
Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore - Tập 50 Số 6 - Trang 456-466 - 2021
Introduction: Melanomas in Asians have different clinicopathological
characteristics and prognosis from melanomas in Caucasians. This study reviewed
the epidemiology and treatment outcomes of cutaneous melanoma diagnosed at a
tertiary referral dermatology centre in Singapore, which has a multiracial
population. The study also determined whether Asians had comparable relapse-free
and overall surviv...
Medication Use in the Transition from Hospital to Home
Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore - Tập 37 Số 2 - Trang 136-141 - 2008
After hospital discharge, correct understanding and use of medications are key
components of patient safety. The current discharge process does not provide
adequate fail-safes to ensure quality post-discharge care. This often leads to
preventable medication errors as well as non-adherence. Several barriers to
successful discharge counselling, including use of medical jargon, lack of
educational an...
An Approach to the Ethical Evaluation of Innovative Surgical Procedures
Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore - Tập 40 Số 1 - Trang 26-29 - 2011
While there is an ethical obligation to improve clinical outcomes by developing
better therapies, surgical innovation has largely progressed without the strict
regulations required of novel pharmaceutical products. We explore the reasons
why new surgical techniques are frequently introduced without the benefit of
randomised controlled trials, and present an approach to the ethical evaluation
of no...
Review on Epidemic of Obesity
Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore - Tập 38 Số 1 - Trang 57-65 - 2009
There has been a growing concern about obesity worldwide. We performed a review
on the prevalence and trends of obesity among adults and children. We reviewed
the data on the prevalence of adult obesity and being overweight from the Global
Database on Body Mass Index on the World Health Organisation (WHO) Website and
prevalence of children being overweight from the International Obesity Task
Force...
