Motor Vehicle Collisions With Large Animals, Masoud O. Bashir, Fikri M. Abu-Zidan
Saudi Medical Journal
Motor vehicle collisions MVC with large animals are a worldwide problem. In this review, we aim to analyze the mechanisms and patterns of human injuries caused by MVC with large animals and various ways to prevent them. Reported studies on large animals that can cause such accidents include the moose, camels, deer, and kangaroos. The moose causes a typical rear-and downward deformity of the roof of the car. The camel falls on the roof of the car causing cervical and head injury to the occupants. Injuries caused by kangaroos and deer are usually mild. Injuries may be caused by direct …

Immunological Diagnosis Of Vasculitis, Khalil Abdul-Aziz, Abdul-Aziz Faizal
Immunological Diagnosis Of Vasculitis, Khalil Abdul-Aziz, Abdul-Aziz Faizal
Saudi Medical Journal
Inflammation of blood vessels, or vasculitis, is caused by a heterogenous group of autoimmune conditions with wide spectrum of systemic, and often overlapping, clinical manifestations. Some of these conditions present acutely and result in major organ9s damage and, therefore, require prompt diagnosis and treatment in order to avoid the high morbidity and mortality that otherwise occur. The clinical immunology laboratory plays a vital role in the diagnosis of vasculitis. Moreover, due to the availability of simple tests, with quick turn around time, immunological findings can provide an early picture of the type of vasculitis involved thereby allowing initiation of prompt …

OBJECTIVE: The Western blot (WB) assay is the most widely accepted confirmatory assay for the detection and confirmation of antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and 2 (HIV-2). However, indeterminate WB reactivity to HIV-1 and HIV-2 proteins may occur in individuals who do not appear to be infected with HIV. METHODS: In this study, we describe the results of indeterminate WB reactivity in Iranian patients with discordant screening assays. The samples were obtained from the Iranian Blood Transfusion Center, Tehran, Iran and evaluated in the Biotechnology Process Development Center, Pasteur Institute of Iran, Tehran, Iran between 2003 and …

Saudi Medical Journal
OBJECTIVE: Although post-dates is among the most common indications for induction of labor, no studies have identified the predictors of cesarean section (C/S) in that population. The high cesarean rate in our institution for this group of women triggered us to assess different induction practices to elicit potential causes. METHODS: We conducted a hospital-based retrospective cohort analysis using chart reviews of all nullipara women with induced labor at the Children9s and Women9s Health Centre of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, during the 2-year period, April 1998 to March 2000. The C/S rate was compared among 3 groups of women who were …

Twisted Mixed Germ Cell Tumor Of The Ovary In A Child, Abdulqadir M. Zangana
Saudi Medical Journal
We report an 8-year-old female patient with a mixed germ cell stromal tumor MGCT of the left ovary. Exploration revealed that the tumor had been twisted around its pedicle. These ovarian tumors are classified among interesting type of tumors due to the variability of neoplastic tissues in the same tumor mass, in the twisted ovarian tumor. Four histological types of tumor tissues were found: well-differentiated adenocarcinoma, dysgerminoma, immature teratoma, and focus of papillary serous cyst adenoma as well. During our review of the literature, this reported case of MGCT of the ovary was among the extremely rare cases, which had …
Successful Use Of Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation In A Complicated Flail Chest, Mariam A. Al-Ansari
Successful Use Of Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation In A Complicated Flail Chest, Mariam A. Al-Ansari
Saudi Medical Journal
The current advanced trauma life support manual states that patients with significant hypoxia namely, SaO2 <90% on room air as a result of pulmonary contusion should be intubated and ventilated within the first hour of injury. Recently, several researchers have shown improved outcomes when patients with acute respiratory failure are managed with non-invasive positive pressure ventilation NIPPV. Trauma patients may also benefit from this therapy. We report a case of 15-year-old boy with isolated flail chest and pulmonary contusion, who was intubated in the emergency room, and was managed successfully with the NIPPV in the intensive care unit ICU despite, having had aspiration pneumonia early in the course of his stay. After initial stabilization, he failed a spontaneous breathing trial. Due to absence of contraindications to the use of NIPPV, the patient was extubated on day 7 from pressure support ventilation of 15 cmH2O and positive end expiratory pressure of 8 cmH2O to immediate NIPPV use. Three days later after a total of 50 hours of NIPPV use in the ICU the patient was successfully discharged home.
