Clinical Measurement Of Proprioceptive Function After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, Abdullah A. Al-Othman
Clinical Measurement Of Proprioceptive Function After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, Abdullah A. Al-Othman
Saudi Medical Journal
OBJECTIVE: Proprioception is very important for the integrity and stability of the knee joint. Patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear have a decline in proprioceptive functions of the injured knee. However, improvement of proprioceptive functions of the knee after ACL reconstruction is a subject of considerable debate. This study was conducted to evaluate the results of a simple clinical proprioception test developed by the author in patients with ACL reconstructed knees. METHODS: This study was conducted in King Fahd Hospital of the University, Al-Khobar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from January 1996 to June 2002. The proprioceptive function of the …

Spontaneous Bladder Rupture In A Non-Augmented Neuropathic Bladder, Khalid F. Neel
Spontaneous Bladder Rupture In A Non-Augmented Neuropathic Bladder, Khalid F. Neel
Saudi Medical Journal
A spontaneous bladder rupture in an intact bladder without history of trauma has been reported before with different postulation for the pathogenesis. All these cases were reported in the adult age group. Patients with a neuropathic bladder associated with such a complication were post augmentation cystoplasty or catheter induced injury. We present our experience in a boy with a neuropathic bladder secondary to spina bifida who had a spontaneous bladder rupture with no surgical intervention carried out before, and discuss the possible pathogenesis.
Katayama Syndrome, Mohamed I. Yasawy
Katayama Syndrome, Mohamed I. Yasawy
Saudi Medical Journal
Two schoolboys from a non-endemic region visited an endemic area of Schistosomiasis in Yemen. They developed cutaneous itching after swimming in infected ponds. Five weeks later both brothers were admitted to the hospital with high fever, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. The blood results exhibited marked eosinophilia and schistosomal serological test showed an evidence of exposure. Initially, stool examinations were negative, but the sigmoidoscopy was suggestive for acute bilharzial colitis and the biopsy showed schistosoma ova; a finding consistent with Katayama syndrome. Both patients treated with Praziquantel, and they became asymptomatic, and the eosinophilia normalized. This report shows the importance …

Cancer-Related Anemia, Hikmat N. Abdel-Razeq
Cancer-Related Anemia, Hikmat N. Abdel-Razeq
Saudi Medical Journal
Anemia is the most common hematological abnormality in cancer patients, unfortunately, it is often under-recognized and under-treated. The pathogenesis of cancer anemia is complex and most of the time multifactorial; involving factors related to the tumor itself or its therapy. While anemia can present in a wide range of symptoms, involving almost every organ, it is believed that it contributes much to cancer-related fatigue, one of the most common symptoms in cancer patients. In addition, there is increasing evidence to suggest that anemia is an independent factor adversely affecting tumor response and patient survival. While blood transfusion was the only …

Saudi Medical Journal
OBJECTIVE: Several infectious diseases are transmissible by blood transfusion, especially viral infections. The most common blood-transmitted viruses are hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). These viruses cause fatal, chronic and life-threatening disorders. The prevalence of these viruses varies by nationality and geography. The purpose of this study was to establish the current prevalence of hepatitis viruses (B and C) and human retroviruses (HIV-1, 2 and human T-lymphotropic virus type I and II, HTLV-I /II) among blood donors at King Khalid University Hospital (KKUH), Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).

Congenital malformations of the spleen are rare. We report 3 cases of wandering spleen presented as abdominal or pelvi-abdominal mass. Two patients were suffering from chronic lower abdominal pain with thrombosed splenic pedicle and the third patient had an acute abdomen. All patients underwent splenectomies. Abdominal ultrasound, computerized tomography, Doppler ultrasound, and radioisotope studies were used to confirm the diagnosis. The clinical, diagnostic and treatment modalities are discussed.

Hemorrhagic Episodes In Hemophiliacs Simulating Abdominal Surgical Emergencies, Mohammad E. Rabie, Abdul-Rahman E. Al-Tayeb, Mubarak H. Zafer, Anwar K. Sheikha
Saudi Medical Journal
Hemophiliacs are subjected to develop episodes of spontaneous bleeding at different sites of the body, primarily the knees. On occasions, such episodes affect the abdomen. The picture engendered in such cases may mimic that of an abdominal emergency requiring surgical intervention. Such ill advised and unwarranted intervention may end with the patient9s death. With the proper employment of radiology, the correct diagnosis may be reached and consequently, conservative treatment, in which factor VIII plays the major role, instituted. Here, we describe the clinical course of 2 patients with hemophilia A who suffered bleeding in the abdomen and were treated conservatively …

Three patients with severe symptomatic iron deficiency anemia and thrombocytopenia had a significant rise in platelet count a few days following packed red blood cell transfusion. Pre-transfusion platelet count of patient one was 17 x 109/L, 22 x 109/L in patient 2 and 29 x 109/L in patient 3. On the 6th day post transfusion, the platelet count rose to 166 x 109/L in patient one, 830 x 109/L in patient 2 and 136 x 109/L in patient 3. The possible mechanisms behind such an unreported observation are discussed.

Food Poisoning In Saudi Arabia. Potential For Prevention?, Yagob Y. Al-Mazrou
Saudi Medical Journal
Food poisoning is becoming a very important health problem both internationally and in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Salmonella species (spp) is the most important pathogen, but due to the extensive effort carried by the health authorities to prevent or eradicate communicable diseases, new pathogens are now emerging such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Norwalk like viruses. This review paper highlights the magnitude and determinants of food poisoning internationally and in KSA, and proposes some recommendations on its prevention. Clearly, there is a steady increase in the food poisoning accidents in KSA, especially during the summer months and …
