Dengue fever, traditionally a tropical disease, has shown notable increase in incidence within the United States over recent decades. This paper focuses on dengue fever cases Maryland during increasing temperature and humidity expanding geographical range of Aedes mosquitoes, primary vectors for virus transmission. Electronic health data was used to identify patterns from 2014 2024. Correlation analysis between review factors conducted. Results indicate an increased past decade. However,...
ObjectiveTo examine the association between plasma levels of soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) and incidence severe complications COVID-19.Methods403 RT-PCR-confirmed COVID-19 patients were recruited prospectively followed-up at a major hospital in United Arab Emirates. The primary endpoint was time from admission until development composite outcome, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), intensive care unit (ICU) admission, or death any cause. Patients...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was first reported in December 2019. The severity of disease 2019 (COVID-19) ranges from asymptomatic to severe and potentially fatal. We aimed describe the clinical laboratory features outcomes hospitalised patients with COVID-19 within Abu Dhabi Healthcare Services Facilities (SEHA).Our retrospective analysis patient data collected electronic health records (EHRs) available SEHA information system included all admitted 1 March 31...
Abstract Background Studies indicate that ethnicity and socioeconomic disparity are significant facilitators for COVID-19 mortality. The United Arab Emirates, distinctly has a population of almost 12% citizens the rest, immigrants, mainly unskilled labourers. disparate socio-economic structure, crowded housing conditions, multi-ethnic offer unique set challenges in management. Methods Patient characteristics, comorbidities, clinical outcomes data from electronic patient medical records were...
Lung abscesses caused by Brevundimonas diminuta (B. diminuta) are a rare occurrence, particularly in immunocompetent adults. We present the case of 47-year-old male with history COPD, bipolar disorder, and seizure who presented productive cough, worsening shortness breath, yellow sputum, weight loss, fatigue over period three weeks. Clinical examination revealed decreased breath sounds left upper lung zones. Laboratory investigations showed an elevated white cell count, while blood cultures...

Hyperammonemia is a metabolic disorder characterized by supraphysiologic ammonia (NH3) concentrations in the blood. Although usually seen adults with liver disease, hyperammonemia notable complication 4.1% of lung transplants. It associated cerebral edema and neurological dysfunction carries up to 75% mortality critically ill patients. Opportunistic infections caused Mycoplasma Ureaplasma species have been implicated as cause this disturbance. Literature neonates has shown that renal...
Patients with human immunodeciency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deciency syndrome (AIDS) have an increased risk of osteoporosis fractures when compared people the same age sex. As a result, vertebra, lumbar, hip is higher in living HIV to general population. This condition magnied setting renal failure superimposed metabolic bone disease. Here, we present case fracture patient long-standing, well-controlled disease kidney failure.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder affecting significant portion of the population, is commonly managed with stimulant medications. These medications, while effective, have been associated thermoregulatory dysfunction and an increased risk heat-related adverse events. The current study sought to compare incidence such events in ADHD patients receiving medications those not on these treatments.
The number of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are progressing to end-stage renal failure is growing at an alarming rate. Among this population, one the signicant morbidities a marked increase in fracture risk, which can be as high 46.3 per 1000 person-years. This elevated risk primarily due metabolic bone changes associated CKD, often result weakened bones and increased susceptibility fractures. A key factor preventing fractures these addressing mineral imbalances,...
Psoriasis is a chronic inammatory skin disease characterized by papulosquamous lesions resulting from T-cell-mediated dysregulation of keratinocyte proliferation. It can be triggered HIV infection and may the rst sign in some individuals. Treating HIV-associated psoriasis challenging because it that occurs patients with weakened immune systems. We present case an HIV-positive patient well-controlled on HAART who experienced relapse upon discontinuation therapy, emphasizing importance...
Abstract Background There is a dearth of information on liver abscesses in the United Arab Emirates. Herein, we describe clinical features and determine their incidence rates outcomes. Methods We retrospectively reviewed charts adult patients with primary diagnosis abscess at major hospital over 7-year period. Results Amongst 45 patients, 82.2% (37/45) had pyogenic (PLA) 17.8% (8/45) amoebic (ALA). Overall, were young (median age 42 years, IQR 35–52), mostly males (77.8%, 35/45) from Indian...
This is a case of 74 years old immunocompetent female who developed severe diarrhea after haemorrhoidopexy for 2 months duration. Investigations to find the cause persistent were done, including colonoscopy showed ulcers from which biopsy was taken and presence CMV-DNA identified. She got treated with IV oral Ganciclovir repeated improvement gradually diarrhea.
Abstract Background Despite previous exposure to coronavirus epidemics a few years ago, limited clinical and epidemiological information is available from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The UAE second most affected country amongst Gulf Cooperation Council Countries by Covid19. Distinctly, has population of almost 9.2 million, with fewer than 12% nationals, rest immigrants, mainly unskilled labourers. disparate socio-economic structure, crowded housing conditions, multi-ethnic, multicultural...
Abstract A myriad of symptoms presented by severely ill mechanically ventilated Covid19 patients has added pressure on the caregivers to explore therapeutic options. Systemic steroids have been reported therapeutically benefit with elevated inflammatory markers, during severe acute respiratory syndrome, and Middle East syndrome outbreak. disease is characterized inflammation system distress syndrome. Given lack specific treatment for Covid19, aim current study was evaluate methylprednisolone...
