Dna Amplification Fingerprinting Using 10 X Polymerase Chain Reaction Buffer With Ammonium Sulfate For Human Identification, Aysun Baransel, Hikmet E. Dulger, Mehmet Tokdemir
Saudi Medical Journal
OBJECTIVE: The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) - based DNA amplification fingerprinting (DAF) or randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) is based on a strategy using a single arbitrary oligonucleotide primer to generate anonymous amplification of genomic DNA. On this basic strategy, in this study, we aimed to test individual differences and usefulness of 2 basic primers (59-CGCGCCGG-39 and 59-TGCCGAGCTG-39) and examined whether there is a positive effect on results of 10 x PCR buffer with ammonium sulfate. METHODS: A new approach in DNA fingerprinting, 10 x PCR buffer with ammonium sulfate, is presented in the study. Primers with single 8 and …

Epstein-Barr Virus Expression In Hodgkin S Disease In Jordan, Nidal M. Almasri, Hasan S. Khalidi
Saudi Medical Journal
OBJECTIVE: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been associated with many hematopoietic malignancies including Hodgkin9s disease (HD). The association of HD correlates with the histologic subtype, age of presentation and geographic location. Our aims were to find out if EBV is associated with Jordanian HD; and if EBV association exists, to determine its relationship to certain age groups or specific histologic subtypes of HD; and finally to establish whether such association follows patterns seen in developing or developed countries. METHODS: We have examined 64 cases of HD diagnosed in 2 major medical centers in Jordan for evidence of EBV association. We used …

Efficacy And Safety Of Sevelamer. Comparison With Calcium Carbonate In The Treatment Of Hyperphosphatemia In Hemodialysis Patients, Faisal A. Shaheen, Nabeela M. Akeel, Laila S. Badawi, Muhammad Z. Souqiyyeh
Saudi Medical Journal
OBJECTIVE: Current phosphate binders used in hemodialysis patients include calcium-based binders that result in frequent hypercalcemia. The use of a calcium- and aluminum-free phosphate-binding polymer in hemodialysis (sevelamer) disclosed efficacy in the short and long-term studies. However, due to race differences we performed a short-term study on the Saudi hemodialysis patients and compared sevelamer with a standard calcium-based phosphate binder. METHODS: An open-label, randomized, cross-over study was performed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of sevelamer hydrochloride in controlling hyperphosphatemia in hemodialysis patients. After a 2-week phosphate binder washout period, stable hemodialysis patients were given either sevelamer or calcium carbonate, …

Rubella Immune Status Of Pregnant And Non-Pregnant Women In Istanbul, Turkey, Sebahat Seker, M. Fatih Abasiyanik, Barik A. Salih
Saudi Medical Journal
OBJECTIVE: Rubella immunization rates are not optimal and infections during pregnancy still occur since many countries incorporate no rubella vaccine in their national immunization program. The evaluation of immunity to rubella virus relies on the presence of specific antibodies. This study was undertaken to determine in a cross-sectional survey whether rubella virus circulation in the Istanbul city, induces detectable immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies with a protective level, in a random group of pregnant and non-pregnant women. METHODS: One hundred and sixty women of 20-41-years of age (average 24-years) were grouped as follows: 1. Forty-eight married women. Among these were 41 …

The Clinical Skills Laboratory As A Learning Tool For Medical Students And Health Professionals, Nada H. Al-Yousuf
Saudi Medical Journal
Clinical skill laboratories CSL have become one of the essential facilities in an undergraduate medical curriculum. A wide range of training skills were recently introduced which includes clinical examination, diagnostic and therapeutic skills as well as communication skills. Although the educational value of the CSL is very well recognized, very little is written about it in the literature. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the skills laboratory integrated in an undergraduate medical curriculum, highlight the nature of this trend, look at the advantages and disadvantages and suggest some guidelines for implementation.

Lipoprotein(A). The Bad Cholesterol, Syed S. Habib
Lipoprotein(A). The Bad Cholesterol, Syed S. Habib
Saudi Medical Journal
The aim of this review is to highlight the role of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] in atherogenesis and coronary artery disease. After 40 years from discovery, Lp(a) still remains an enigma and we are still far in understanding the pathophysiological role of Lp(a). Based on its peculiar structure, Lp(a) has both atherogenic and thrombogenic potentials as it is internalized by macrophages and has structural similarity with plasminogen. The results of the prospective studies performed over the past decade have also shown that Lp(a) is a predictor of coronary artery disease (CAD), even though some of the studies have failed to show a …
