Usefulness Of Molecular Techniques To Identify Ongoing Tuberculosis Transmission In Saudi Arabia., Sahal A. Al-Hajoj, Viqaruddin K. Mohammed, Abdullah A. Al-Hokail
Saudi Medical Journal
This study represents the first time that molecular tracing techniques have been used to identify patterns of tuberculosis TB infection in Saudi Arabia. The 2 strains were isolated from a socio-economically advantage family who share a number of common facilities including a car and a driver. There are several factors that may play vital roles in on-going transmission of TB in Saudi Arabia including a high number of expatriates, the Hajj pilgrimage, and the social habits of Saudi citizens. Our sibling case series is believed to be a frequent pattern of disease transmission in this country. Control measures such as …

Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia. Genetics, Pathogenesis, Clinical Manifestation And Management, Manfred Stuhrmann, El-Harith A. El-Harith
Saudi Medical Journal
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia HHT, Morbus Osler or Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome OMIM 187300, is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by epistaxis, telangiectasia, multi-systemic vascular dysplasia and clinical presentation of wide variation. The pathogenesis involves dilated post-capillary venules or telangiectases in the mucus membrane of various organs as well as larger arteriovenous malformations. Genetic heterogeneity of HHT is confirmed; 2 disease loci, ACVRL1 and ENG genes, have been identified and characterized. The 2 major types of the disease, HHT1 and HHT2, are attributed to mutations in the ENG and ACVRL1 genes. ENG and ACVRL1 genes code for proteins, namely endoglin and activin-receptor-like kinase …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the pathological patterns associated with male infertility in Kuwait and to characterize treatment outcome after varicocele repair using percutaneous varicocele embolization. METHODS: We carried out a prospective study of 64 infertile men in Kuwait between 2001 and 2005. All patients included had proven non-obstructive azoospermia or oligospermia (sperm count <20 million/ml). All patients underwent ultrasonographic evaluation of the scrotum. Fine needle aspiration of the testes was performed on all azoospermic patients. RESULTS: A total of 24 (38%) patients were azoospermic while 40 (62%) were oligospermic. Sertoli- cell-only pattern was the most common cytopathology associated with primary testicular failure. Among the oligospermic patients, 50% had small to moderate varicocele. Spermatic vein embolization resulted in a significant rise in the mean sperm count from 10.6 ± 3.8 million/ml to 30.2 ± 6.8 million/ml (p<0.05) in 5 treated oligospermic patients, followed by spontaneous pregnancy in 2 couples. No effect was seen on azoospermic patients. CONCLUSION: From an etiological point of view, we believe that the high incidence of Sertoli cell-only-syndrome among nationals and residents of a country that underwent a major environmental insult strengthens the chances of an environmental role in the development of this syndrome. From a management point of view, in cultures where in vitro fertilization is either still not widely acceptable or is unaffordable, oligospermia with clinical or subclinical varicocele deserves a trial of a low risk, out patient procedure, namely, spermatic vein embolization that could improve fertility.

Effect Of Submersion Injury On Water Safety Practice After The Event In Children, Saudi Arabia, Omar M. Hijazi, Amr A. Shahin, Nasser A. Haidar, Muna F. Sarwi, Eman S. Musawa
Saudi Medical Journal
OBJECTIVE: To bring to light issues surrounding water safety practices and the impact of such incidents on these practices in our community. METHODS: We conducted a prospective observational study at King Abdul-Aziz Medical City, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia of all children <12 years of age presenting with submersion injury in the period between January 1999 through December 2004 noting the demographics and the pattern of water safety practices prior to and after event. RESULTS: A total of 29 patients were included. The majority of incidents took place in swimming pools. Water safety practices were lacking in most cases as evidenced by the fact that 87% of the victims were not properly supervised at the time of the event. None of swimming pools met the required safety regulations. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge was virtually nonexistent. The event did not have a positive impact on the water safety practices of the affected families. CONCLUSION: Submersion injury is also prevalent in land locked areas. Water safety practices are deficient in our community. Submersion injury was not enough to have a consistent positive impact on water safety practices of the affected families. Much can be carried out to improve water safety and save lives.

Sudden Onset Of Herpes Zoster Following Chemotherapy For Orbital Lymphoma In A Hiv Positive Patient, Afekhide E. Omoti, Caroline E. Omoti
Saudi Medical Journal
We report a 38-year-old HIV positive female, who developed an acute attack of herpes zoster HZ involving the mandibular, C2, C3, C4, T1, and T2 dermatomes, 9 days after the commencement of the first cycle of chemotherapy regimen for non-Hodgkin9s lymphoma NHL. She had developed NHL of the ovary approximately 6 months earlier, followed by metastasis to the left orbit resulting in proptosis of the left eye. A combination of a positive HIV status, lymphoma, and chemotherapy can predispose a patient to an attack of HZ involving many dermatomes.

Palpable breast masses in pediatric patients are uncommon. Fibroadenoma which must be distinguished from malignant tumors is the most frequent breast tumor in adolescent girl. Fine needle aspiration FNA biopsy is highly specific in breast masses. The final cosmetic result is important when planning the surgical excision. Therefore it is mandatory to know preoperative cytology of the mass. Five girls who had undergone operation with breast masses between 1999-2004 were evaluated retrospectively. The mean age at presentation was 13 years. Each patient underwent FNA biopsy before excision. Aspiration cytology of the lump showed fibroadenoma confirmed by subsequent histopathology. The breast …
