Saudi Medical Journal
Objectives: To determine the correlation between excessive daytime sleepiness and body mass index, waist circumference, and lipid profile of shift workers at Dr. Moewardi General Hospital, Surakarta. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at the Dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta, Indonesia between October 2018 and July 2019. The participants were recruited using purposive sampling. Multiple linear regression with backward elimination was performed to identify the odds ratios between Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores, anthropometric measurements, and lipid profiles. A p -value of <0.05 indicated statistically significant correlations. Results: Of the 150 included participants, 127 (84.67%) were women. Statistical analyses revealed odds ratios of 2.38 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.14-4.89, p =0.000) for daytime sleepiness severity and total cholesterol levels, and 2.45 (95% CI 1.36-4.98, p =0.020) for daytime sleepiness severity and high-density lipoprotein levels. Conclusion: Increased total cholesterol and decreased high-density lipoprotein levels increase the risk of excessive daytime sleepiness in shift workers.

Saudi Medical Journal
Objectives: To evaluate the incidence of arrhythmia in the early postoperative period and to identify its risk factors among pediatric patients following cardiac surgery at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, between 2015-2020. Methods: Out of 1242 patients, a total of 821 aged <18 years who underwent cardiac surgery were included in this retrospective cohort carried out in June 2021 at KAUH, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Information retrieved from the hospital medical records had patients’ demographics, types of arrhythmias, hemodynamic stability, electrolyte disturbances, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and aortic cross-clamp (AXC) durations. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the possible risk factors associated with postoperative arrhythmia. Results: Of the 821 patients, 140 (17.1%) developed arrhythmia postoperatively. The most common arrhythmias were junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET, 51.4%), atrioventricular block (27.1%), and supraventricular tachycardia (10%). The majority of cases occurred on the first day postoperatively (79.3%). Patients with postoperative arrhythmias had a more prolonged CPB ( p =0.0001) and AXC ( p =0.005) time, electrolytes disturbances ( p =0.021), and hemodynamic instability ( p =0.0001) than other patients. Conclusion: Postoperative arrhythmia, especially JET, is common after pediatric cardiac surgery. Prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass, prolonged aortic cross-clamping, electrolytes disturbances, and hemodynamic instability are possible risk factors for postoperative cardiac arrhythmias.

Saudi Medical Journal
To present an unusual and a rare pulmonary affection by coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19), in which only one lung is affected. Coronavirus disease-19 attacks the lungs and interferes seriously with their functions. The attack is usually bilaterally, while a uni lateral pulmonary affection is unusual. The presentation, both clinical and radiological findings, bronchoscopy appearance, the strange operative findings of the resected mass, the uneventful post-operative course, in addition to the histopathological report, will be presented. In conclusion, unilateral lung affection is unusual and post-viral pneumonia COVID-19 should be considered as a possible aftermath, which may not be uncommon in Iraq.
Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells And Wound Healing: Potential Clinical Applications In Wound Repair, Sami G. Almalki
Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells And Wound Healing: Potential Clinical Applications In Wound Repair, Sami G. Almalki
Saudi Medical Journal
Delayed and chronic wounds result from the dysregulation of molecular and cellular events associated with wound healing, including migration, inflammation, angiogenesis, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, and re-epithelialization. Adipose tissue is an abundant, easily accessible, and rich source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with high therapeutic potential. In addition to their capability to differentiate into various lineages with specialized functions, adipose-derived MSCs (AMSCs) can mediate to the wound repair process through the secretion of different growth factors and mediators rather than making structural contribution alone. Adipose-derived MSCs mediate the formation of blood vessels, recruit progenitor cells, stimulate cell differentiation and ECM …

Analgesic Effect Of Dexmedetomidine In Colorectal Cancer Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Surgery, Ja E. Lee, Hue J. Park, Yoon J. Chung, Hyun J. Ahn, Woo S. Sim, Jin Y. Lee
Saudi Medical Journal
Objectives: To evaluate the analgesic efficacy of intraoperative dexmedetomidine (DEX) for acute postoperative pain in colorectal cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data of 190 colorectal cancer patients who had undergone laparoscopic surgery between October 2020 and May 2021 at Samsung Medical Center, Seoul, Korea, with (n=74) or without intraoperative DEX (n=85) administration. The demographic, clinical, anesthetic, and postoperative data were compared. Results: In total, 159 patients were enrolled. Demographic and clinical data were not different between the groups. The mean arterial pressure ( p <0.001) and heart rate ( p <0.001) were lower in the DEX group at the end of surgery and after extubation ( p =0.003, p =0.001). The minimum alveolar concentration of sevoflurane was lower in the DEX group during surgery. At the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) admission and discharge, pain scores ( p <0.001, p =0.027) and fentanyl consumption ( p <0.001) were significantly lower in the DEX group. On postoperative days 1-3, pain scores and opioid consumption were not different between the groups. The incidence of postoperative complications was not different between the groups. Conclusion: Continuous intraoperative DEX administration had an intraoperative analgesic effect as indicated by lower hemodynamic and fentanyl consumption. Furthermore, there was immediate postoperative analgesia as suspected by the lower pain scores and fentanyl dose during the PACU. However, pain scores and opioid consumption after the PACU remained unaffected.
