Abdominal Tuberculosis In Adolescents. Difficulties In Diagnosis., Mustafa Akcam, Reha Artan, Aygen Yilmaz, Hikmet Cig, Nazif H. Aksoy
Saudi Medical Journal
Since the nature of abdominal tuberculosis is mimicking a number of diseases, this may cause delayed diagnosis resulting in evident increased morbidity and mortality. Most of the time, serologic and bacteriologic tools are not enough. We report 3 adolescents with distinct presentations, one mimicking Crohn9s disease, one with hepatitis, and the last one with ascites. Terminal ileitis and mesenteric lymphadenitis were found in laparotomy of the first case mimicking Crohn disease. Granulomatous hepatitis was found in the liver biopsy of the second patient, and peritonitis was found by laparoscopy of the third patient. Tuberculosis could be diagnosed merely by histopathologic …

Successful Outcome After Evacuation Of Intracranial Hematoma Following Thrombolysis In Acute Myocardial Infarction., Bashir A. Wani, Helmi A. Dawood, Mohammed A. Khan
Saudi Medical Journal
Thrombolytic therapy is the modality of choice for the treatment of life threatening thrombosis in various vascular territories and nowadays, is used extensively in setting of acute myocardial infarction. There is, however, the omnipresent danger of serious bleeding inherently associated with the use of all thrombolytics which if it occurs in the brain, can lead to potentially serious neurological impairment and even death. In our report, we describe the successful surgical management of a streptokinase-induced intracranial hemorrhage. Timely neurosurgical intervention is advocated as the optimal approach for this particular side effect of thrombolytic agents.

OBJECTIVE: Previous studies have shown high prevalence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity and smoking in this community. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and factors associated with hyperlipidemia. METHODS: A questionnaire was administered on all patients 5.2 mmol/L (desirable level according to National Cholesterol Education Program [NCEP]). Mean serum cholesterol level for males and females were 5.08 mmol/L and 5.19 mmol/L; 462 (59.80%) had triglycerides level <1.7 mmol/L and 311 (40.20%) had level >1.7 mmol/L (NCEP). Age <50 years, education less than high school (12 years), family history of hyperlipidemia and high triglyceride levels were strongly associated with hyperlipidemia. CONCLUSION: The study points to high prevalence of total cholesterol, triglyceride and low density lipoprotein in this population. We suggest further studies and steps to reverse these factors, which are modifiable by changes in lifestyle.
