Acute Renal Failure In An Intensive Care Unit, Hatem O. Qutub, Ibrahiem A. Saeed
Saudi Medical Journal
OBJECTIVE: To determine the clincal course and outcome of acute renal failure in an intensive care unit set-up. METHODS: All patients admitted to the intensive care until who developed acute renal failure were prospectively studied over a 3-year period from 1996 to 1999, at King Fahd Hospital of the University, Al Khobar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. They were investigated for the causes of their acute renal failure, given appropriate treatment and their course carefully documented until discharge from the intensive care unit. RESULTS: Forty-seven patients (29 male and 18 female) were studied. The majority were Saudis (81%). The age range …

Ipsilateral Dislocation Of The Shoulder And Elbow, Mohammed R. Khan, Tarek M. Mirdad
Saudi Medical Journal
Ipsilateral dislocation of shoulder and elbow joints is a rare injury. Only 2 such cases have been reported in the English literature. We report a case of a 35-year-old man involved in a road traffic accident under the influence of alcohol. He sustained posterior left elbow and anterior left shoulder dislocation with minimally displaced greater tuberosity fracture. He also had partial median nerve palsy. Under intramuscular pethidine and intravenous diazepam, close reduction of elbow followed by shoulder was carried out. At 2 months, median nerve function returned to normal. At 3 months, almost full elbow and shoulder joint movement returned. …

Mummification To Plastination. Revisited, Muhammad Saeed, Amin A. Rufai, Saleh E. Elsayed
Saudi Medical Journal
A brief summary of the history of anatomy is presented with particular focus on important scientists who contributed significantly to the development of anatomical education and recognition of anatomy as a discipline of science. An attempt has been made to review the history of preservation of human cadavers from earliest mummification methodology used by ancient Egyptians to the most modern technique of embalming and plastination of human cadavers, developed by Von Hagens during the period from 1979 to 1987. The need for use of modern teaching aids for instruction of topographic anatomy is also highlighted.

Gynecology And Obstetrical Conditions Requiring Intensive Care Admission, Abdulwahab S. Al-Jabari, Abdulaziz A. Al-Meshari, Mohamad S. Takrouri, Mohamad A. Seraj
Saudi Medical Journal
OBJECTIVE: Gynecological admissions to the surgical intensive care unit vary from the obstetrical cases. Pregnant women are of prime age and can tolerate the pregnancy and delivery well. There are certain rare conditions or complications, which make the pregnant women9s life pass through a critical time. These are dealt with in a high dependency area, which is short of the intensive care unit. In King Khalid University Hospital there is no such arrangement, so the mildly affected and critically ill patients together are cared for in the surgical intensive care unit. The objective of this study is to study the …

Carnitine Palmityl Transferase I Deficiency, Aida I. Al-Aqeel, Mohammed S. Rashed, Jos P. Ruiter, Hussa F. Al-Husseini, Mohammed S. Al-Amoudi, Ronald J. Wanders
Saudi Medical Journal
Carnitine palmityl transferase I is the key enzyme in the carnitine dependent transport of long chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial inner membrane and its deficiency results in a decrease rate of fatty acids beta-oxidation with decreased energy production. We reported a family of 3 affected siblings who are the product of a first degree cousin marriage. The first 2 presented with typical Reye-like syndrome with unconsciousness, hepatomegaly, hypoglycemia, hyperammonemia and very high liver enzymes. Liver biopsy showed steatosis. On screening of the complete family, the 3rd sibling was found to have hepatomegaly. The 3 siblings showed an acyl carnitine …

Mammary Duct Ectasia And Periductal Mastitis In Males, Jamal K. Al-Masad
Saudi Medical Journal
Mammary duct ectasia/periductal mastitis is exceedingly rare in males. Ten cases have been reported in the literature, the last 2 cases were associated with Human immunodeficiency virus. The previously reported cases presented in females with blood stained discharge or subareolar inflammatory process. All cases required surgical treatment, 7 out of 10 cases underwent a form of mastectomy. To the best of our knowledge this disease entity was not reported in patients suffering from Behcets disease. This article described 2 new cases, one of them is a young man who had associated Behcets disease. An immune mechanism may be responsible for …

Malnutrition In Children With Congenital Heart Defects, Poothirikovil Venugopalan, Felix O. Akinbami, Khalid M. Al-Hinai, Ajit K. Agarwal
Saudi Medical Journal
OBJECTIVE: To assess the frequency of malnutrition in children with congenital heart defects in a hospital outpatient setting. METHODS: One hundred and fifty-two children with congenital heart defects (patients), and an equal number of children with innocent cardiac murmurs (controls) attending the Pediatric Cardiology Outpatient Clinic at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman from 1997 to 1998 were prospectively studied. Weight, height and head circumference were used for evaluation of nutritional status. Patients and controls were categorized into acute malnutrition (weight <3rd percentile for age, and height >3rd centile), and chronic malnutrition (weight and height <3rd centile), based on the National Centre for Health Statistics standards. Children with symptomatic congenital heart defects (Group I, number = 73) were also compared with those without symptoms (Group II, number = 79). RESULTS: The study patients showed a higher frequency of both acute (27%) and chronic (24%) malnutrition (p<0.01). Children in Group I had a significant reduction in weight (p<0.01), height (p=0.02) and head circumference (p<0.01) compared to controls, however for those in Group II the differences were not significant. Acute malnutrition was higher in both groups, 31% (p<0.01) and 16% (p=0.04), whilst chronic malnutrition was significantly higher only in Group I, 31% (p<0.01). Infants in Group I were more frequently affected (33/45) compared to older children (13/28; p=0.02). CONCLUSION: Malnutrition remains a problem among children with congenital heart defects, especially in those with either heart failure or cyanosis, and symptomatic infants are the worst affected. Greater attention is required in the dietary management, early diagnosis and intervention to restore normal growth.

Ktp-Laser And Fibrin Glue For Treatment Of Fistulae In Ano, Aws S. Salim, Talal M. Ahmed
Ktp-Laser And Fibrin Glue For Treatment Of Fistulae In Ano, Aws S. Salim, Talal M. Ahmed
Saudi Medical Journal
Fistulae-in-ano remains a significant surgical problem due to the limitations pertinent to accurate assessment and the magnitude, shortcomings and side effects of the various procedures currently employed for their management. Six consecutive fistulae-in-ano patients (males, age range 30 to 58 years) were successfully treated by KTP laser (20-watt continuous aim for 20 to 30 seconds delivering a total energy of 400 to 600 joules) with rapid solidification fibrin glue then followed up for 3 months without recurrence. This approach offers a simple, expeditious and effective treatment for fistulae-in-ano thereby overcoming many of the restrictions associated with other methods.
