The Etiology Of Mycobacterium Avium Subspecies Paratuberculosis In Crohn's Disease., Ahmed M. Alluwaimi
Saudi Medical Journal
The etiology of Crohn9s disease (CD) has drawn heated controversy in the literature. Compelling evidence in the literature has accumulated lately that could incriminate the Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP), the well-known agent of John9s disease in cattle. The evidence is isolation of the organism or its DNA and RNA, detection of the anti-MAP antibodies in Crohn9s patients, increasing incidents of CD in areas close to the cattle pastures, and the possibility of treating the disease with the antibiotics. The group that favors the immune dysregulation theory considered this evidence circumstantial due to the variations in these reports. The treatment …

Saudi Medical Journal
Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries CCTGA is a rare congenital disease first described by Von Rokitansky in 1875. Transposition of the great arteries comprises 2.6 - 7.8% of all cases of congenital heart disease, and if uncorrected, is commonly fatal in the first year of life. Patients with corrected transposition of the great arteries without associated defects may remain undiagnosed until adult life. Symptoms occur rarely before the fourth and fifth decades, when rhythm disturbance, left atrioventricular valve regurgitation, and moderately impaired systemic ventricular function cause congestive cardiac failure. We report here a case of drug overdose with …
