Advancing Mass Spectrometry-Based Clinical Proteomics In Saudi Arabia. Establishing A Saudi Proteomics Society, Abdul A. Peer-Zada, Mohammed H. Al-Qahtani
Saudi Medical Journal
Rapid developments in the field of mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomic technologies holds great promise in the search for clinically useful protein biomarkers for early detection, diagnosis, and prognosis of disease in general, and for monitoring response to therapy. Proteomics may contribute to finding novel drug targets and unravel molecular pathways associated with disease. Despite the application of clinical proteomics to a wide spectrum of disease research globally, however, there is lack of data with regard to quantitative proteomics in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) for the diseases common to the Saudi population. In this review therefore, we will discuss …

The Decision Of Do Not Resuscitate In Pediatric Practice, Mohammed M. Jan
The Decision Of Do Not Resuscitate In Pediatric Practice, Mohammed M. Jan
Saudi Medical Journal
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is now routinely performed on any hospitalized patients who suffer cardiac, or respiratory arrest. Children with irreversible, or progressive terminal illness may benefit temporarily from CPR, only to deteriorate later on. Painful and invasive procedures may be performed unnecessarily, and the child could be left in a poorer condition. A do not resuscitate (DNR) order indicates that the treating team has decided not to have CPR attempted in the event of cardiac or pulmonary arrest. While there is relatively ample literature on this topic in general, there is comparatively little focus on DNR orders as they pertain …

Quantitative Dna Analysis Of Very Low-Level Hepatitis B Viremic Patients Reporting To The Gastroenterology Clinic, Mohammad S. Bamaga, Turki M. Sobahy, Abdulaziz S. Attar
Saudi Medical Journal
OBJECTIVE: To examine data on very low-level viremic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections in patients reporting to a gastroenterology clinic, and to investigate methods to improve analysis to avoid missing follow-up data and improve the management of HBV infection, and minimize morbidity and mortality outcomes. METHODS: A total of 104 patients with very low-level viremic HBV whom reported to the gastroenterology clinic at Al-Hada Armed Forces Hospital, Taif, Saudi Arabia and had a reading of <12 IU/mL on the real time (RT) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection system were enrolled in this study. For serological testing (for example, hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg]), we examined patients9 results recorded in the laboratory information system since early 2007. Liver enzymes, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase were assessed in some cases. RESULTS: After analyzing the data collected from 1,178 patients, we found 104 (8.83%) cases that fit the criteria for our study, including a reading of <12 IU/mL. We formed 6 groups of participants based on HBsAg reactivity and very low, elevated, or no viremia, and found 4 cases of continuous occult hepatitis B infection. CONCLUSION: The very low levels of DNA found had a diagnostic impact on the management of HBI and yielded several suggestions for clinicians regarding follow-up with patients. It is important to use a sensitive RT PCR to monitor the course of HBV infection.
