Tropical Waves and Tropical Depressions
2013Tropical waves can be very difficult to locate on synoptic maps, especially in the western Pacific and in the Southern Hemisphere. Such waves, referred to as tropical waves, easterly waves, African waves, etc., are perturbations of the tropical easterlies that propagate westward, at a phase speed of roughly 5–7° longitude/day, sometimes accompanied by ...

AbstractTropical pyomyositis (TP), a suppurative disease caused predominantly by Staphylococcus aureus, is responsible for 3% to 4% of surgical admissions in some hospitals in certain tropical countries. This study describes the clinical features of 35 patients with TP (20 males, 15 females; mean ± SD age 28.3 ± 14.1 years) admitted to our hospital ...

Summary The usual causes of tropical splenomegaly in West Africa are mentioned. Splenectomy as a means of relieving pain and discomfort, and improving general health in certain chronic cases, is discussed. Pronounced sickling of the red cells in two instances suggests a possible contributory role by this trait in splenic enlargement among negroes ...

Spinal cord inflammation is a rare presentation of schistosomiasis infection. The present report describes the case of a young patient presenting subacute medullary symptoms revealing extensive longitudinal myelitis related to schistosomiasis, also known as bilharzia. The diagnosis was based on detection of parasite eggs in stool.

The practice of surgery in the tropics provides experience in the management of a broad range of conditions without many of the aids now regarded as essential in developed countries. Clinical judgement must play a greater role but the often advanced stage of disease at presentation may lessen the need for investigations and limit the treatment options.
