Ovarian cancer accounts for 3% of all female cancers and has a high mortality rate among gynecological malignancies. Early diagnosis carries survival 93%. So, this study was carried out to assess the knowledge awareness Jordanian women about ovarian symptoms risk factors. A cross-sectional survey design used; 896 completed survey. The mean total recognized low at level 3.2 ( SD = 2.7) 10. three highest known were as follows: extreme fatigue (43.2%), back pain (42.4%), persistent in pelvic...
Subglottic stenosis is an abnormal narrowing of the tracheal lumen at level subglottis (the area in between vocal cords and cricoid cartilage). It can cause significant symptoms due to severe attenuation airflow. We describe our experience alleviating by addressing using fibreoptic bronchoscopic methods.We report all concurrent cases performed September 2015 July 2016. use a combination balloon dilation, electro-surgery knife dilate incise stenotic segments followed steroid injection...
Abstract Background and Objectives Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drain is an intervention used to relieve malignant obstruction. This study aims explore survival after insertion, predictive factors of effectiveness reduce total bilirubin level. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis 72 patients who had obstruction received during the time period between March 2005 February 2015. Results Median patients’ age was 56 years. 38 (52.7%) were males, 34(47.2%) females. post insertion 46...
Little is known about the prevalence, clinical characteristics and impact of hypothyroidism in patients with sarcoidosis. We aimed to determine prevalence features its relation organ involvement other manifestations conducted a national registry-based study investigating 3835 respondents Sarcoidosis Advanced Registry for Cures Questionnaire between June 2014 August 2019. This registry based on self-reported, web-based questionnaire that provides data related demographics, diagnostics,...
Abstract Acute exacerbation of interstitial ling disease (AE-ILD) denotes a rapid deterioration respiratory function often leading to ICU admission due severe hypoxemia. Definitions encompass the diverse spectrum lung diseases and specific criteria for AE-ILD, originally established idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) later expanded other diseases. The incidence varies among various subtypes, with around 10% patients experiencing acute exacerbations within initial two years diagnosis....
Background Complicated parapneumonic effusions empyema (CPEE) is fairly common and associated with increased morbidity mortality. The Multicenter Intrapleural Sepsis Trial 2 (MIST 2) established the combination of intrapleural deoxyribonuclease (DNase) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) as an effective treatment for CPEE, thereby avoiding surgery decreasing length hospitalization. MIST 2, however, used a labor-intensive protocol some risk bleeding. We hypothesize simpler regimen concurrent...
Central venous line malposition is a well-known complication of insertion. Rarely, it can be mal-positioned in an anomalous pulmonary vein. We present unusual case 56-year-old woman that was found to have partial return on central In this report, we describe systematic approach diagnosis and management situation.
Background The eosinophilic COPD phenotype is associated with greater airway remodelling, exacerbation risk and steroid responsiveness. However, little known about the prevalence characteristics of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in this patient population. Methods We retrospectively evaluated a cohort patients right heart catheterisation (RHC) data at university hospital between January 2011 May 2019 compared vascular profile PH noneosinophilic using definition as least three blood eosinophil...
Pneumothorax is a well-recognized complication of central venous line insertion (CVL). Rarely, pneumothorax can lead to electrocardiogram (ECG) findings mimicking ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. We present 63-year-old man with iatrogenic right-sided who developed on 12-lead ECG suggestive The completely resolved after needle decompression and chest tube placement. This case points up this rare electrocardiographic finding discussion possible mechanisms differential diagnosis.
Background Acute exacerbations of interstitial lung diseases (AE-ILD) have a high mortality rate with no effective medical therapies. Lung transplantation is potentially life-saving option for patients AE-ILD, but its role not well established. The aim this study to determine if therapy during AE-ILD significantly affects post-transplant outcomes in comparison those transplanted stable disease. Methods We conducted retrospective consecutive admitted our institution from 2015 2018. group...
Macrophage activating syndrome (MAS) is a form of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), rare complication autoimmune disease that characterized by cytokine storm and multiorgan failure.A 32-year-old male presented with acutely decompensated pulmonary arterial hypertension right heart failure secondary to MAS. The patient was immediately started on inhaled intravenous epoprostenol, vasopressors dexamethasone anakinra were administered. Despite the therapies given, patient's condition...
Inhalational exposures have been hypothesized to play a role in the pathogenesis of sarcoidosis. Herein, we describe cohort US Military personnel diagnosed with sarcoidosis during or after deployment Southwest Asia and Afghanistan, who experienced complex inhalational burn-pits desert dust.Consecutive military at four sub-specialty clinics across United States were screened for Afghanistan diagnosis based on 1999 ATS/ERS/WASOG Statement Sarcoidosis. Detailed demographic, exposure data was...
Introduction: Patients with Cushing's disease have grossly elevated concentrations of circulating glucocorticoids. Treatment may result in unmasking or aggravation diseases responsive to glucocorticoid therapy. We report a rare case sarcoidosis flare presenting as dysphagia following resection an ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma. Case presentation: A 52-year-old female was evaluated clinic, for worsening fatigue, uncontrolled hyperglycemia and hypertension. Past medical history relevant...
<b>Background: </b>Jordan, a Middle Eastern country, has high prevalence rate of smoking. However, little research was done to evaluate knowledge smoking-related cancers in the region. <b>Objective: </b>To assess among Jordanian university students. <b>Design:</b> Cross-sectional study conducted July, 2013, using self-administered online questionnaire. The questionnaire sent students from University Jordan. <b>Results: </b>The final sample consisted 230 majority participants (98.7%) were...

The patient presented to emergency room right lower quadrant pain. Initially he was diagnosed typhlitis. CT scan done and showed ileocolic definitive lead point identified. Patient underwent hemicolectomy histopathological study specimen did not show any infiltrate. High suspicion should be kept mind patients presenting abdominal
