Long Term Intubation And Successful Weaning In Two Children With Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Hashim Javed, Madhavachandran P. Nair, Roshan L. Koul, Alexander Chacko, Mohammad Fazalullah
Saudi Medical Journal
No definite criteria exists in Guillian-Barre Syndrome in children regarding prolonged ventilation through an endo-tracheal tube without tracheostomy and successful weaning using a T-piece. Here we report two such cases of Guillian-Barre Syndrome requiring prolonged intubation for 56 days and ventilation for 30 days and ultimately successfully weaning them using the T-piece. Both the children eventually made a complete recovery, highlighting the point that in children prolonged intubation and ventilation using the portex tube is equally good, if not, better than tracheostomy with its attendant risks.

Saudi Medical Journal
The Internet became with do doubt a huge and valuable source of information for researchers. The wealth of information on the Internet is second to none and medical information is no exception. Yet with the vast expansion of the Internet and the World Wide Web in specie, to find the kind of information one is looking for, he/she needs to browse thousands of web sites and the experience would be like digging into a stack of hay looking for a needle. That9s why search engines and subject indexes, as means to overcome this problem, were introduced and grew so rapidly. …

Where Is Critical Care Medicine In Today's Undergraduate Medical Curriculum?, Hatem O. Qutub
Where Is Critical Care Medicine In Today's Undergraduate Medical Curriculum?, Hatem O. Qutub
Saudi Medical Journal
Critical Care Medicine is a well-established specialty in developed countries. Medical students have exposure to it at undergraduate level and it is an independent subspecialty at postgraduate level. However, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Critical Care Medicine is minimally taught under other subject headings in Surgery, Internal Medicine or Anesthesia. This article discusses the need for the inclusion of Critical Care Medicine in the undergraduate curriculum for better integration of basic and clinical sciences on one hand and improvement of the student9s base of knowledge and quality of patient care on the other.
The Prevalence Of Overweight And Obesity Amongst Hypertensive And Diabetic Adult Patients In Primary Health Care, Yousef A. Al-Turki
The Prevalence Of Overweight And Obesity Amongst Hypertensive And Diabetic Adult Patients In Primary Health Care, Yousef A. Al-Turki
Saudi Medical Journal
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of overweight and obesity amongst hypertensive and diabetic adult patients in primary health care centers, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. METHODS: A retrospective review of the medical records of 3186 adult hypertensive and diabetic patients in 10 primary health care centers in Riyadh, from August to October 1999. RESULTS: Nineteen percent of the patients were their ideal weight (body mass index < 25 kg/m2), while 35% were overweight (body mass index 25-29.9 kg/m2). Forty one percent were moderately obese (body mass index 30-40 kg/m2) and 5% were morbidly obese (body mass index > 40 kg/m2). CONCLUSION: Overweight and obesity are coexisting risk factors amongst hypertensive and diabetic adult patients, and are an important focus for treatment and prevention of high blood pressure and diabetes.

Arthrogryposis, Renal Dysfunction And Cholestasis Syndrome, Mohamed A. Abdullah, Zuhair Al-Hasnan, Emi Okamoto, Abdullah M. Abomelha
Saudi Medical Journal
We report for the first time from the Arabian Gulf area 3 patients with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, cholestasis and renal tubular dysfunction from a Saudi family with 2 other siblings and 3 cousins who possibly died with a similar clinical picture. We also document for the second time in literature other findings in this syndrome including cerebral abnormalities (hypoplastic corpus callosum), congenital heart disease and nerve deafness. We suggest that some of these cases might benefit from ursodeoxycholic acid therapy. We believe that this autosomal recessive disorder is possibly under-diagnosed in this region with a high consanguineous marriage rate.
