ABSTRACT
But: Evaluer les résultats fonctionnels de la chirurgie de la cataracte à l'Hôpital Gynéco Obstétrique et Pédiatrique de Douala (HGOPED). Méthodologie: Nous avons mené une étude descriptive et rétrospective. Nous avons colligé les dossiers des patients opérés de cataracte entre le 1er Janvier 2016 et le 31 Décembre 2017. Nous avons classé les meilleures acuités visuelles de loin corrigées (AVLC) en: faibles (AV Ë 1/10), moyennes (1/10 ⤠AV Ë 3/10) ou bonnes (AV ⥠3/10). Résultats: Trente-deux dossiers de patients ont été sélectionnés pour 38 cataractes opérées. L'âge moyen était de 59,06 ± 16,68 ans avec un sex ratio de 0,77. Avant la chirurgie, la meilleure acuité visuelle de loin corrigée était faible pour 44,7% des yeux et moyenne pour 39,5%. L'acuité visuelle était de 4/10 pour 15,8% des yeux. Un mois après la chirurgie, elle était moyenne pour 23,7% des yeux et bonne pour 76,3%. Après 2 mois, tous les yeux examinés avaient une bonne acuité visuelle. Conclusion: La chirurgie de la cataracte est effective et les résultats fonctionnels sont encourageants à l'HGOPED

Two rare cases of endobronchial leiomyoma are presented. Both cases presented with suppuration and destruction of ipsilateral lung. The diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy and pneumonectomy performed. The world literature of previously reported twenty two cases is reviewed and salient features elaborated. The tendency to treat such cases with antitubercular drugs in a country were tuberculosis is endemic should be deplored.

The incidence of respiratory illness and tuberculin sensitivity of children below 15 years were studied among 245 families in village Chinimore and the observations were compared between two groups families keeping livestock and families non-keeping livestock. There were 135 (out of 446) children with respiratory illness with 30.2% incidence and 45 (out of 187 tuberculin tested) children were positive to Mantoux test. Families keeping livestock had statistically significantly more (P 25.18 of 0.1% level) tuberculin sensitive children.

The studies on growth pattern of a nonpathogenic Leishmania donovani, strain UR6, in different media showed that it can be regularly cultivated amd maintained in modified Ray's Medium (Agar) and three other liquid media, namely DME Medium, Medium 199 and RPMI-1640 which are manufactured in India. The well known N.N.N. Medium provided quantitatively poorer growth in comparison to these medium. Measurement of L. donovani cell concentration by optical density in a spectrophotometer has been worked out for expressing immunochemical observations on antigens in terms of cells per mililitre.
