Seroprevalence Of Bartonella Henselae And Bartonella Quintana Infections In Children From Central And Northern Jordan, Ahmad M. Al-Majali, Khaled M. Al-Qudah

Saudi Medical Journal

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of antibodies to Bartonella henselae (B.henselae) and Bartonella quintana (B.quintana) among children from central and northern Jordan. METHODS: Sera from 482 children were randomly collected from referenced governmental hospitals in the central and northern parts of Jordan during the period between January 2001 to March 2003. An indirect immunofluorescent assay was used to determine serum antibody titers to B.henselae and B.quintana. Sera that were reactive at a dilution >/-1:64 were considered positive. In addition, blood from 20 cats belonged to children with high B.henselae titers were tested using polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: Out of the …

OBJECTIVE: Growth standards are indicators for normal growth of the children and growth charts are important tools for their growth monitoring. Children from different populations are different in their growth pattern, it is important to create national standards for the growth of children in each population to develop local growth charts, and since these were not available in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), the aim of this study was to construct national growth standards and to develop growth charts for 0-5-years Saudi children. METHODS: A cross-sectional study following World Health Organization (WHO) criteria in determining sample size was adopted, …

Subcutaneous Dirofilariasis Caused By Dirofilaria Repens, Rajan Chopra, Bodh R. Panhotra, Yusef Al-Marzooq, Abdul-Rahman Al-Mulhim Nov 2004

Subcutaneous Dirofilariasis Caused By Dirofilaria Repens, Rajan Chopra, Bodh R. Panhotra, Yusef Al-Marzooq, Abdul-Rahman Al-Mulhim

Saudi Medical Journal

Human dirofilariasis caused by Dirofilaria repens D. repens is a common zoonosis in the Mediterranean countries and parts of South Asia. During the last decade, it has been reported from countries previously considered non-endemic. This is likely due to the increased awareness regarding Dirofilaria infection. In some such cases however, dirofilariasis correlated with the travel of the patient to the endemic areas. We present the case of a Saudi male who had D. repens infection in the subcutaneous tissues of the forearm. The patient had traveled to Iraq, Syria, United Arab Emirates and Kuwait in the last 2 years. However, …

Primary Ovarian Hydatid Disease In The Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia, Onnuola A. Adewunmi, Hoogar M. Basilingappa Nov 2004

Primary Ovarian Hydatid Disease In The Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia, Onnuola A. Adewunmi, Hoogar M. Basilingappa

Saudi Medical Journal

Human hydatid disease is caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Its distribution is world wide and it affects mainly the liver, but other organs could be involved. Primary involvement of pelvic organs is very rare. This is a case report of primary ovarian hydatid disease in a postmenopausal woman, diagnosed postoperatively. Surgical excision was adequate. Ultrasonography, particularly high frequency trans-vaginal, computed tomography scan and, more recently, magnetic resonance imaging are more frequently used in the diagnosis of Echinococcus cyst. They appear more reliable than many of the old tests of varying sensitivities. Whereas, there are anecdotal reports of obstetric and gynecological manifestations …

Brown Tumor Of The Femur Associated With Double Parathyroid Adenomas, Nidal A. Younes, Waleed S. Mahafza, Shukri S. Agabi Nov 2004

Brown Tumor Of The Femur Associated With Double Parathyroid Adenomas, Nidal A. Younes, Waleed S. Mahafza, Shukri S. Agabi

Saudi Medical Journal

Severe parathyroid bone disease is a rare clinical presentation of primary hyperparathyroidism. Double parathyroid adenomas are even more rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. The authors present a case of double parathyroid adenomas in a 48-year-old man, who presented with painful left lower limb swelling, which was slowly growing in size in the last 20 years. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic bony lesion and coincidentally, a urinary bladder calculus. Biopsy of the mass revealed giant cell lesion. Laboratory investigations showed hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia with elevated parathyroid hormone level. A computerized tomography scan of the neck delineated an adenoma of the …

Primary Hyperaldosteronism Treated By Radiofrequency Ablation, Abdulrahman A. Al-Shaikh, Mohamed M. Al-Rawas, Mirvat A. Al-Asnag Nov 2004

Primary Hyperaldosteronism Treated By Radiofrequency Ablation, Abdulrahman A. Al-Shaikh, Mohamed M. Al-Rawas, Mirvat A. Al-Asnag

Saudi Medical Journal

This is a report of a 57-year-old Jordanian man who had uncontrolled hypertension and hypokalemia. He was diagnosed to have primary hyperaldosteronism with left adrenal adenoma. Traditionally, surgical resection of the adrenal gland whether by laparotomy or laparoscopic procedures would have been considered at this point. However, the treating team elected radiofrequency ablation of the left adrenal in view of the fact that this facility and the expertise was available in the hospital; in addition, this procedure required a shorter duration of hospitalization, was less expensive, and was less invasive. Subsequently, the patients blood pressure improved to 120/75mm Hg and …

Patterns Of Fitness And Fluctuating Asymmetry Across A Broad Hybrid Zone, Mitchell B. Cruzan Nov 2004

Patterns Of Fitness And Fluctuating Asymmetry Across A Broad Hybrid Zone, Mitchell B. Cruzan

Biology Faculty Publications and Presentations

We estimated levels of developmental instability in leaves, as indicated by fluctuating asymmetry (i.e., random deviations from perfect bilateral symmetry), across a broad hybrid zone between two taxa in the Piriqueta caroliniana complex. Previous studies have indicated that this hybrid zone was initiated in southern Florida and has expanded northward. We found that plants from the hybrid zone generally had higher levels of leaf developmental instability than plants from allopatric regions, but the increase in asymmetry was not substantial. Although it is usually assumed that developmental instability is associated with lower fitness, these Piriqueta hybrids from central Florida are similar …

City Of Santa Clara's Housing Element Approach To The Provision Of Affordable Housing, Ahmed M. Arikat Nov 2004

City Of Santa Clara's Housing Element Approach To The Provision Of Affordable Housing, Ahmed M. Arikat

Master's Projects

“Affordable Housing” refers to housing provided for low-income population. The generally accepted definition of affordability is for a household to pay no more than 30 percent of its annual income on housing.'’ Since the median cost of housing in California is higher than the median cost for the nation, even moderate-income households end up spending more than 30 percent of their income on housing. The lack of affordable housing is a significant hardship for these households preventing them from meeting their other basic needs, such as nutrition and healthcare, or saving for their future and that of their families. It …
