Sextuplets In Oman, Mariam Mathew, Pmc Nair, Zenaida Reyes, Rafique Himani, Andrzej Krolikowski
Saudi Medical Journal
Use of ovulation inducing agents has increased the incidence of high order multifetal gestation. Such pregnancies are associated with increased maternal morbidity and poor perinatal outcome especially due to prematurity. Here, we report a case of sextuplet pregnancy following ovulation induction with gonadotrophins. This is the first reported case of sextuplets from Oman.

Low Carbohydrate Diet. Its Effects On Selected Body Parameters Of Obese Patients, Faisal A. Alnasir, Bahaa E. Fateha
Saudi Medical Journal
OBJECTIVE: This pilot study, which involved 13 obese patients, was conducted to determine the effect of a low carbohydrate diet on the body weight and other body parameters, including blood pressure and selected biochemistry indicators. METHODS: The study was carried out in Naim Health Center, Bahrain during the period March 2002 to April 2002. Each individual was followed for 6 weeks while on a low carbohydrate diet, with careful monitoring during the study period. RESULTS: Paired t-test showed statistically significant reduction of waist circumference (p<0.00) and body weight (p<0.00) of the sample population after 6 weeks from the commencement of the diet. The body mass index also showed statistically significant reduction during the study period (p<0.01). Furthermore, blood cholesterol level was reduced (p<0.012). Although there was a statistically significant decrease in the fasting blood sugar levels (p<0.01), the mean readings remained within the normal range of blood sugar levels. There were no statistically significant changes in the levels of urate, creatinine, urea, triglyceride, and in systolic or diastolic blood pressure readings (p>0.05).

Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia In A Patient With Primary Antiphospholipid Syndrome, Shiv K. Saxena, Ahmed H. Al-Jizeeri, Osman A. Kheir
Saudi Medical Journal
Antiphospholipid syndrome is characterized by venous and arterial thrombosis, recurrent pregnancy loss and the presence of the lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin antibodies or both. Antiphospholipid syndrome may occur as a primary disease or in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus or other autoimmune, infectious or neoplastic disorders. In this paper we report a 29-year-old Saudi female, a known case of antiphospholipid syndrome, presented with complaints of fever, breathlessness and generalized fatigue. Further investigations confirmed her as a case of myeloblastic leukemia (M1, French-American-British classification). Acute myeloblastic leukemia is not described to be associated with primary antiphospholipid syndrome in the literature to date. …

Superior Mesenteric Vein Thrombosis Complicating Appendicular Masses, Salma S. Echtibi, Masoud O. Bashir, Misbah U. Ahmed, Frank J. Branicki, Fikri M. Abu-Zidan
Saudi Medical Journal
Mesenteric vein thrombosis (MVT) is rare. Its diagnosis is usually difficult and delayed. Herein, we report 2 patients who developed MVT as a complication of an appendicular mass. One of them had appendectomy and developed fever 10 days postoperatively. The other was treated conservatively. An abdominal computerized tomography (CT) scan with intravenous contrast was helpful in diagnosing the superior MVT in both patients, which were not suspected. Intravenous contrast should be used when performing CT of an appendicular mass. Special interest should be directed at studying the superior mesenteric vein. Early diagnosis of our patients helped to start early medical …
