Triceps skin fold thickness as a measure of body fat in Nigerian adolescents

Background: Skin fold thickness (SFT) at selected areas offers a simple method of subcutaneous fat assessment and provides a good estimate of obesity and body fat distribution. The triceps SFT has been shown to be one of the best and most popular sites for SFT measurement in children.Objective: To assess the body fat of school adolescents and to comparethe performance of triceps SFT with Bioelectrical impedance method in the detection of overweight (OW) and obesity (OB) among the subjectsMethods: The study was cross sectional; involving secondary schoolstudents within Sokoto metropolis. Subjects were selected by a multistagerandom sampling method. Harpenden skin fold caliper (ASSIST Creative Resources Ltd, LL13 9UG, UK) and Tanita Body fat scale (model UM-030, Tanita, UK Ltd; 2004) were used respectively to measure the triceps SFTand body fat content (%) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Results: The mean triceps SFT values were 8.9mm (±4.7) for malesand 12.9mm (±4.6) for the females (p<0.001). Mean % BF values were8.2 ± 4.1% for the males, and 20.0 ± 6.8% for the females (p<0.001).The triceps SFT gave a prevalence of overweight of 2.5%, while that of obesity was 0.8%. With the BIA method, 2.5% of the subjects wereclassified as overweight and 1.7% as obese.Conclusion: Triceps SFT remain a fair surrogate for the assessment ofadiposity, the component of overweight that leads to pathology.Key words: Skin fold thickness, bioelectrical impedance analysis, body fat, obesity, adolescent

Para-cardiac Inflammatory Mass Compressing the Heart: A possible association with COVID-19

Infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). COVID-19 usually affects the lungs but may also involve other organs such as the heart. We report a case of a para-cardiac mass in a previously healthy 45-year-old man who developed persistent dyspnea following SARS-CoV-2 infection. The patient underwent cardiac surgery since the mass was attached to the pericardium and was causing constrictive pericarditis. The pathology report indicated an inflammatory pattern for the mass. Based on our knowledge there has been no previous report of developing a para-cardiac inflammatory mass after SARS-CoV-2 infection. In conclusion, we would like to increase awareness regarding the possibility of developing a para-cardiac inflammatory mass following COVID-19. Keywords: SARS-CoV-2; Pericarditis; Constrictive pericarditis; COVID-19; Cardiac tumor; Mediastinal tumor
