Aids-Related Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy, Mona A. Al-Maslamani, Hussam A. Al-Soub, Yasser M. El-Deeb, Jameela A. Al-Khuwaiter, Imaad Bin Mujeeb
Saudi Medical Journal
A case of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection with a fatal outcome is presented. The disease has not been reported from our region before. The patient presented initially with hemiparesis and non-enhancing lesion on computed tomography scan that was thought to be an infarct. After a delay of 4 months, the diagnosis was made by brain biopsy. This delay probably contributed to his unfortunate outcome. The case is described, and methods of diagnosis and treatment are discussed.

Disseminated Candida Albicans Infection In An Immunocompetent Host, Tarig S. Al-Khuwaitir, Suphia M. Sherbeeni, Abdurahman M. Al-Mogheiri, Mohammed N. Al-Oumi
Saudi Medical Journal
Candida albicans CA is an opportunistic fungus, which lives in close association with its human host. Immuno-competence is the barrier to its tendency to invade. Normal skin, commensal bacteria and neutrophils are the first hurdles and once broken down by indwelling catheters, antibiotics or ablative chemotherapies, dissemination can occur with grave consequences. We describe a young patient with apparent full immune competence, who suffered from disseminated CA infection, her presentation, diagnosis and therapy with amphotericin B deoxycholate, which lead to her complete recovery and return to a productive life.

Saudi Medical Journal
OBJECTIVE: Under normal physiological conditions, glutamine is synthesized in large amounts by the human body and is considered nonessential. It has been hypothesized that glutamine may become a conditionally essential amino acid in patients with catabolic disease. The objective of this study is to investigate the prognostic effect of glutamine. METHODS: For this study, we selected 48 patients from the intensive care unit. Group I consisted of 33 patients whose treatment included glutamine. We placed the remaining 15 patients in group II, and they did not receive glutamine in their treatment. We retrospectively investigated treatment time, leucocyte levels and outcome. …

Paraplegia In A Puerperal Woman Due To Spinal Metastasis From Papillary Carcinoma Of The Thyroid Gland, Khalil E. Rajab, Abdulla A. Issa, Raghava K. Das, Abdul N. Al-Aradi
Saudi Medical Journal
We present an unusual case of paraplegia which occurred on the second postnatal day. Investigations revealed a spinal mass at D-7 level. Histopathology of the tumor showed it to be a spinal metastasis from a solitary thyroid malignant nodule. The patient had laminotomy and biopsy, followed later by total thyroidectomy. She also had radiotherapy and radio-iodine ablation. We discuss the therapeutic modalities of such a condition.
Epidemiology Of Type I Diabetes Mellitus Among Arab Children, Mohamed A. Abdullah
Epidemiology Of Type I Diabetes Mellitus Among Arab Children, Mohamed A. Abdullah
Saudi Medical Journal
In this article, the epidemiology of type 1 diabetes mellitus among Arab children (<15 years) living in Arab and non-Arab countries is reviewed. These data include the incidence, prevalence and etiopathogenic factors including genetics, environmental factors as well as autoimmune disease markers aside from clinical presentation at onset. The review is based on the information from publications in the international literature identified by searching Medline, other websites as well as personal experience and some communications. The obtained data suggest that the incidence of type 1 diabetes in these countries is increasing similar to the experience in other parts of the world. High incidence has been reported among Arab children who immigrated to some Western countries. The highest incidence is in Qatar and Kuwait and the lowest is in Oman and Jordan. There is considerable variation among countries, which could not be explained on genetic or climatic variations alone. Other environmental factors particularly nutritional ones including high intake of dairy products and vitamin D deficiency are possibly operating. Further, nationwide research from different countries covering the rural as well as urban areas and different ethnic intermixes are needed. To overcome financial and facility problems that hinder research; some cooperation between these countries as well as international bodies are needed.

OBJECTIVE: Caring for infants born with lesions that are either incompatible with life or conditions that will not allow meaningful survival is an ethical dilemma. Provision of intensive ineffective care to these infants may be labeled as "futile care" which can consume a major proportion of total hospital expenditure. We conducted the present study to look at the extent of futility in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) setting. METHODS: All neonates with lesion either incompatible with life or conditions that will not allow meaningful survival admitted during April 2003 to September 2003 in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Royal …

Ruptured Ovarian Cysts And Bilateral Ectopic Pregnancy Complicating A Case Of Severe Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome, Naeema A. Mahmood, Amarjit K. Sandhu
Saudi Medical Journal
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome OHSS, ruptured ovarian cysts and bilateral ectopic pregnancies are all well-recognized entities occurring in association with infertility treatment. We are reporting a case of severe OHSS which was complicated initially by ruptured ovarian cysts and later by bilateral ectopic pregnancy. Diagnosis of tubal pregnancy was obscured by stimulated ovaries, which prevented accurate ultrasound definition. The role of transvaginal ultrasound, serial beta human chorionic gonadotropin and the place of paracentesis in diagnosing these cases are discussed.
