Radiological Abnormalities and Asymptomatic Bacteriuria in Patients with Sickle Cell Disease

Issue:

Vol 66, Issue 4: 2017 (Special Issue on Sickle Cell Disease)

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2017.203

Pages:

497–502

Synopsis:

This study investigated the association of radiological abnormalities and asymptomatic bacteriuria in patients with sickle cell disease. No association was seen and there was no increased risk of symptomatic urinary tract infections in these patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective: The prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) in sickle cell disease (SCD) in Jamaica is 5.3%. This study sought to determine the association between ASB and anatomical urological abnormalities and symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Fractures in Jamaican Males with Prostate Cancer: A Retrospective Case Series

DOI:

10.7727/WIMJ.2016.269

Synopsis:

This retrospective case series reports on low rates of fractures in males on androgen deprivation for prostate cancer in Jamaica.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) reduces bone mineral density in men treated for prostate cancer. We sought to determine if there was an ethnic difference in fractures induced by ADT in Jamaican men.

Body Mass Index and Prostate Specific Antigen Levels in Jamaican Men

Issue:

Vol 60, Issue 3 (2011)

Pages:

316–21

Synopsis:

The relationship between serum PSA and BMI was examined in men referred to urology clinics in Jamaica. There was an inverse relationship between PSA and BMI among men with prostate cancer. Clinicians should take this relationship into account when interpreting patients’ PSA results.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels in Jamaican men.

Radical Prostatectomy Outcomes at the University Hospital of the West Indies: 2000–2007

Issue:

Vol 60, issue 1 (2011)

Pages:

68–72

Synopsis:

This article represents an eight-year retrospective review of radical prostatectomies performed at the University Hospital of the West Indies. Oncological outcomes and morbidity are compared to large- volume international centres.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: Prostate cancer is the commonest cancer in Jamaican men with an age-specific incidence of 65.5 per 100 000 and also the commonest cause of male cancer death. This study reports on the oncological outcome and morbidity after radical retropubic prostatectomy.
