Cervical cancer is projected to increase by 48% in Kuwait 2035. Detecting cervical early can prevent its progression. Given the paucity of prior research Kuwait, we aimed investigate screening (CCS) prevalence using a representative sample and assess disparities CCS uptake among Kuwaiti women. We obtained (n=3915) through WHO's STEPwise approach noncommunicable disease risk factor surveillance (STEPS). Demographic, socioeconomic, health data were analyzed for women aged 18-69 (n=2292) with...
Dust is a major component of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in arid regions; therefore, concentrations this pollutant countries such as Kuwait exceed air quality standards. There limited understanding on the impact and burden high PM2.5 morbidity these countries. In study, we explore association risk respiratory hospital admissions Kuwait. A time-series regression model was used to investigate daily variations from 2010 2018. Due lack historical sampling Kuwait, estimated levels hybrid...
This descriptive study reveals trends in citations and traffic-related mortality Kuwait. Secondary data were utilized, where on road traffic obtained from the police Ministry of Interior for years 2011 to 2015, period Health.To describe recent related safety Kuwait over time, which could serve as an important indicator level enforcement existing regulations. Descriptive summary statistics are presented.There was a total 24.2 million violations during period. The number rose dramatically 4...
To characterize the frequency of genetic profiles in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients Kuwait.This review presents general cytogenetic characteristics 164 diagnosed as having ALL a 6-year period. Chromosomal and fluorescence situ hybridization studies were made on bone marrow aspirates at diagnosis during different stages disease.Recurring aberrations, observed 123 (75%) patients, included hyperdiploidy (n=68, 41%), tetraploidy (n=12, 7.3%), hypodiploidy (n=2, 1.2%),...
The complication of 'retinoic acid syndrome' occurs in 25-30% patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) treated all-transretinoic (ATRA). Early dexamethasone therapy has reduced mortality from this complication. No long-term sequel the syndrome or its treatment been described. We report a patient APL ATRA who developed avascular necrosis both femoral heads following retinoic short-duration, high-dose dexamethasone.
The association of acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) and HIV infection is rare. Only eight cases had been reported coexistence until 1990, the may be due to chance. associated with T cell immunodeficiency, however, contribute development AML in such patients either defective regulation hemopoiesis and/or failure immune surveillance. Previous reports have from relatively high prevalence areas. authors report two coexistent a low area found routine screening for HIV. An 18-year-old male...
18030 Background: The introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as imatinib mesylate represents a major therapeutic advance in the management chronic myelogenous leukemia. While is well tolerated an produces dramatic improvement treatment, little known about its log term efficiancy and event leading to disease transformation remains enigma. We present discuss 23 cases patients with Ph-positive CML treated who developed blastic crisis during course disease. Methods: Cytogenetis, FISH...
Abstract Background Despite the low incidence of cervical cancer in Kuwait 2018, it is projected that will increase by 48% 2035. This concern considering a preventable disease if detected early. With limited research this area Kuwait, we sought to assess prevalence screening (CCS) among Kuwaiti women. Methods study part WHO's 2014 STEPS risk factor surveillance study. A representative random sample (n = 3915) citizens was recruited (response rate= 89.2%). CCS assessed with question “Have you...
We report a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who developed severe atypical neuropathy (SAN), distinct from classical vincristine neuropathy, following the use of and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). SAN was characterized by onset pain, exquisite tenderness on even light touch profound motor weakness involving predominantly lower limbs. The upper limbs were spared. Imaging studies cerebrospinal fluid examination normal. Electrophysiological showed axonal sensorimotor...
Four newly diagnosed patients of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) were treated with 45 mg/m2 all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) daily. Two achieved complete remission (CR) after 32 and 75 days ATRA therapy, respectively, subsequently consolidated three courses combination chemotherapy. Both continue to be in first CR for 7 12 months, respectively. The third patient partial response while the fourth died multiorgan failure secondary retinoic syndrome. Major side effects treatment included...
