Abstract Solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients are at high risk for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). Studies suggest that early intervention with monoclonal antibody (MAB) treatment directed against the SARS‐CoV‐2 spike protein may reduce of emergency department visits or hospitalization COVID‐19, especially in high‐risk patients. Herein, we describe our single‐center experience 93 SOT (50 kidney, 17 liver, 11 lung, nine heart, and six dual‐organ) mild to moderate COVID‐19 who...
Oxaliplatin is a nonconventional third-generation platinum compound. It an important chemotherapeutic agent in regimens used gastrointestinal carcinomas as well other malignancies. toxicity profile includes neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, and splenomegaly. The primary aim of this study was to measure the spleen volume patients on oxaliplatin therapy before during chemotherapy detect any increase splenic size biomarker for early toxicity.This prospective pilot conducted at American University...
Abstract Kidney injury is a common finding in patients with liver disease. Bile cast nephropathy (also known as cholemic nephropathy) an overlooked cause of renal hyperbilirubinemia. It can occur result the toxic effects bilirubin and bile acids on tubules via several mechanisms. has characteristic histopathological changes consisting deposition distal nephron along tubular epithelial cell injury. Treatment based reversal This review aims to describe terms its clinical morphological features...
<b>Objective</b> The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) task force on hypertension in pregnancy introduced a new definition superimposed preeclampsia (SIP) adding severe features (SF) as criteria to define disease. They also recommended that those with SIP be delivered ≥ 37 weeks, whereas SF ≤ 34 weeks. Our aim was investigate the validity this by comparing adverse outcomes (SIP-SF) without (SIP). <b>Study Design</b> Women chronic (CHTN) enrolled multicenter trial...
Prostate cancer incidence is increasing in the Middle East (ME); however, data of stage at diagnosis and treatment outcomes are lacking. In developed countries, de novo metastatic prostate ranges between 4% 14%. We hypothesized that rates presentation with advanced disease significantly higher ME based on clinical observation. This study aims to examine patients a large tertiary center ME.After Institutional Review Board approval, we identified diagnosed adenocarcinoma presented care January...
Pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms (PDA) are rare visceral aneurysms. Celiac trunk stenosis represents a common attributable aetiology for those Therefore, an alternative treatment approach, which differs from isolated aneurysms, is recommended. We hereby present 77-year-old male patient who was admitted with sudden onset of severe abdominal pain and significant drop in haemoglobin, occurring within 24-hour interval. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed ruptured aneurysm arising...
Abstract Introduction Data on long‐term outcomes following A2/A2B to B kidney transplants since the 2014 allocation system (KAS) changes are few. The primary aim of this study is report our 7‐year experience with and compare post‐transplant a concurrent group transplants. Additionally, evaluates impact pre‐transplant anti‐A1 titers survival in Methods This retrospective, single‐center analysis included all adults who received deceased donor from December June 2021 compared recipients....
Background: Several retrospective studies have reported that younger age at presentation is associated with a worse prognosis for nonmetastatic breast cancer patients. In this study, we prospectively assessed the association between different baseline characteristics (age, tumor characteristics, mode of treatment, etc) and outcomes among newly diagnosed Lebanese Methods: We recruited sample 123 women presenting to American University Beirut Medical Center. Immunohistochemical, molecular...
e552 Background: Current data suggest that prostate cancer incidence is increasing in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region however remains significantly lower than United States Europe. No are available regarding stage at diagnosis or treatment. SEER from US only 4% of patients present with metastatic disease. We hypothesized rates presentation 4 disease higher MENA region. Methods: After IRB approval, a review cases presenting to leading tertiary referral center Lebanon January...
Nocardiosis is a rare, life-threatening opportunistic infection caused by bacteria in the environment that predominantly affects immunocompromised patients. most commonly involves lungs but can disseminate to other organs. Disseminated nocardiosis, defined as Nocardia involving 2 or more organ systems, requires early detection and treatment because of high morbidity mortality. We report cases disseminated nocardiosis with pulmonary central nervous system involvement kidney transplant...
