The infection and prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) is a worldwide problem, the presence ESBLs varies between countries. In this study, we investigated occurrence plasmid-mediated ESBL/AmpC/carbapenemase/aminoglycoside resistance gene expression in Escherichia coli using phenotypic genotypic techniques.A total 58 E. isolates were collected from hospitals city Makkah screened for production genes. All samples subjected to analyses. antibiotic susceptibility was determined...
Type 2 diabetes is associated with endothelial dysfunction leading to cardiovascular disease. CD34+ Progenitor Cells (EPCs) are responsible for repair and neo-angiogenesis can be used as a disease risk biomarker. This study investigated whether the addition of saxagliptin, DPP-IV inhibitor, metformin, may reduce in improving glycemic control patients.In 12 week, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial, 42 subjects already taking metformin 1-2 grams/day were placebo or saxagliptin 5...
OBJECTIVE The traditional treatment of sellar Rathke cleft cysts (RCCs) generally involves transsellar drainage; however, suprasellar RCCs present unique challenges to appropriate management and technical complexity. Reports on overall outcomes for the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) this pathology are limited. EEA allows three surgical techniques: marsupialization, fenestration, fenestration with cyst wall resection. METHODS authors performed a retrospective review consecutive patients...
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes presents with numerous macrovascular and microvascular impairments, which in turn lead to various co-morbidities. Vascular co-morbidities can be seen when examining arterial stiffness (AS), is a predictor for endothelial health cardiovascular disease risk. Pulse wave analysis (PWA) pulse velocity (PWV) are two tests that commonly used measure AS. Currently, states progression tracked via blood biochemistry. These gold standards monitoring expensive need...
Acromegaly is a disease of growth hormone excess that results in enlargement extremities, abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism, gonadal disruption. Manifestations the are insidious typically lead to diagnostic delay 7-10 years. Classically polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) phenotype described women with irregular menses, clinical or biochemical evidence androgen excess, and/or multiple ovarian follicles on pelvic ultrasonography. Women acromegaly may present some all these symptoms. Our...
Objective: Previous studies have shown that Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment, but little data available on Arabic populations, inspite their remarkably high prevalence DM. In this study we attempt to the effect DM performance in middle-aged and elderly patients. Design: Observational cross sectional study. Setting: Outpatient clinics King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH) Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Participants: The included 241 volunteers...
Diabetes Mellitus has been associated with cognitive impairment, affecting learning and memory, mental flexibility, speed.Diabetes is highly prevalent in Saudi Arabia, a reported prevalence of18-30%.We attempted to study the of impairment an out-patient population diabetics, possible risk factors. A cross sectional was carried out fromJune 9 July 20, 2012 which included total 171 outpatients diabetes, matched 68 controls . Volunteers underwent assessment using Montreal Cognitive Assessment...
Abstract Regulation of the growth hormone (GH) axis is complex and influenced by factors including age nutritional status. Studies individuals across weight spectrum demonstrate an inverted U-shaped correlation between BMI total IGF-1 levels; in both with anorexia nervosa-range BMIs those who are severely obese, levels low. Acromegaly a disorder GH/IGF-1 characterized excess secondary to autonomous GH secretion. The relationship has not been well studied acromegaly whether association...
Abstract Cushing's syndrome, a disorder of cortisol excess, is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Obesity, hypertension glucose intolerance are common clinical findings in patients Cushing's, but the increasing incidence obesity worldwide-- nearly 40% world's adult population currently overweight– obesity-associated comorbidities diabetes mellitus, deciding whom to screen for can be very challenging frequently delays timely diagnosis. We performed retrospective study...
