Osteoporosis In Men, Rafat Faraawi
Osteoporosis In Men, Rafat Faraawi
Saudi Medical Journal
Osteoporosis and fragility fractures are more prevalent in men than previously assumed and mortality rates following a major osteoporotic fracture are higher in men as compared with women. There is still uncertainty on how to interpret bone mineral density BMD in men, and few prospective studies exist that have examined the association between BMD and fracture risk. Prospective studies that have evaluated fracture risk suggest that risk increases as BMD decreases in men in a similar way as described in women. Although data are limited, prior fragility fractures also increase subsequent fracture risks in both men and women. Prevention of …

Head Size At Birth In Neonates With Transposition Of Great Arteries And Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, Shabih Manzar, Arun K. Nair, Mangalore G. Pai, Saleh M. Al-Khusaiby
Saudi Medical Journal
OBJECTIVE: Appropriate fetal brain growth depends upon the cerebral blood flow (CBF). Different congenital heart defects (CHDs), due to the difference in anatomy and physiology, alter the intrauterine CBF. Thus, variable brain growth is expected in different CHDs that is reflected by variability in the head circumference (HC) at birth. The present study was carried out to compare the HC of babies born with transposition of great arteries (TGA) and hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) in comparison to normal control. METHODS: The data on the HC of neonates with TGA and HLHS were extracted from the computer database then compared …
