Item Evaluation of Breast Cancer Metastasis to The Skeletal System by Using Bone Scintigraphy(INDIAN JOURNAL OF APPLIED RESEARCH, 2014) Omer,Mohammed A. Ali; Gar-alnabi,M. E. M; Yousef,Mohamed; Sakin,Gada A.EThe aim of this study was to evaluate the breast cancer metastasis to specific preference parts of skeletal system using bones scintigraphy with consideration to metastatic from both breasts. The sample consists of 430 patients who refereed for bone scintigraphy at radiation and isotopes center in Khartoum during 2010-2013, after a confirmation of breast cancer based on histology, more variables as gender, age, involved quadrant and breast, anatomical sites of metastasis from both breast have been collected and analyzed. The analysis reveals that the left breast was highly involved by cancer 64% relative to right one. Breast cancer starts on age group of 20-30 years old and taking the plateau at 40-50 years old then decreases following aging. The right and left breasts cancer commonly gives metastases to lumbar vertebrae (26.7%, 22%), then dorsal vertebrae (14%, 19%), the pelvic bone (10%, 12.7%), the ribs (5%, 11.3%), the cervical vertebrae (8.7%, 10.7%), the skull (7.3%, ) and the femur bone with percentage of (6.7%, 10%) respectively and the right breast cancer gives higher metastatic percent to skeletal system segments 58.1% (250) than the left breast cancer41.9% (180), the predominant type of histopathology was Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) that representing 38% then the Adenoid carcinoma 27% and invasive lobular carcinoma 17%. The common involved quadrant by cancer was the upper outer quad- rant UOQ 44%, inner upper quadrant 17%., lower outer quadrant LOQ, lower inner quadrant LIQ and the nipple showed the following percentages 17%, 15%, 13%, and 11% respectively.Item CHARACTERIZATION OF KNEE JOINT CHANGES IN SUDANESE USING PLAIN X-RAY(Medico Researh Chronicles, 2015) Mustafa,Badria Awad Elamin; Garelnabi,MEM; Mohamed,Sharaf Elgizouly; Yousef,Mohamed; Abdulrahim,Salah Mohamed; Osman,HThe aim of this study was to characterize knee joints changes in Sudanese population using plain x-ray, in order to comprehend the potential pathological changes that might appears in the plain x-ray film also to calculate bone size for artificial knee joint before surgery. A total of 257 symptomatic knee joints were enrolled in this study,106 showed no change in the x-ray film ‘normal’, (56 male and 50 female), 151 showed change of knee joint in the plain x-ray (55 males and 96 females).Their age range from18 to 78 years. In this study also study found that the mediolateral femur measurements for male is equal to 6.4 ±1.03 and 5.9± 0.7 for female and the mediolateral tibia measurements is equal to 6.8 ± 0.9 for male and 6.3 ± 0.6 for female. These differences were significant at p=0.05 using the t-test with t=2.62 for male and t=3.07 for female and p=0.04 and 0.02 respectively. The mediolateral femur and tibia measurement were significantly correlated with the height and circumference of the knee, as well these measurements were correlated significantly with the artificial femur and tibia size. Also this study found that the diagnosis = [(TL2X×0.86) + (FL1X×-0.29) + (TW3X×0.63) + (TL1X×0.38)] – 5.85. To identifies the normal for symptomatic cases where the result =1, the patient were normal otherwise patient were affected.
