Abstract Background: Colonoscopy is essential for diagnosing and managing colorectal conditions, recognized as the gold standard early cancer detection removal of precancerous lesions. The American Society Gastrointestinal Endoscopy College Gastroenterology have established benchmark indicators to minimize risk interval cancer. Despite their importance, research on these metrics in Saudi Arabia limited. This study analyzes key intraprocedural colonoscopies at a tertiary care center evaluate...
Background: Keratoconus (KCN) is a progressive corneal ectasia that manifests at young age and significantly impacts vision quality of life. Early diagnosis allows for effective treatment with collagen crosslinking, yet there lack screening methods. This research aims to screen adolescents adults this sight-threatening disease using quick tomography mapping. Methods: prospective cross-sectional study being conducted Johns Hopkins Aramco Healthcare in Saudi Arabia, focusing on subjects aged...
Diffuse sclerosing papillary thyroid cancer (DSPTC) is rare, with limited data on its molecular genetics.We studied the genetics of a cohort DSPTC.DNA was isolated from paraffin blocks 22 patients DSPTC (15 females, 7 males, median age 18 years, range 8-81). We performed polymerase chain reaction-based Sanger sequencing and next-generation (NGS) gene panel to characterize genomic landscape these tumors. classified genetic alterations definitely or probably pathogenic. Definitely pathogenic...
Robotic-assisted pyeloplasty surgery has become the preferred approach of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in pediatrics. However, to our knowledge, there is limited data on learning curve for robotic-assisted children and no similar study from Saudi Arabia.The objective was evaluate progression surgical team performing laparoscopic (RALP) assess feasibility RALP children, since it having been recently started Kingdom.Retrospective charts videos review at tertiary care centre.After...
Bariatric surgery has significantly increased globally as an effective treatment for severe obesity. Nutritional deficits are common among candidates bariatric surgery, and follow-up of nutritional status is critically needed post-surgery healthcare management. This observational prospective study was conducted at King Khalid University Hospital in Riyadh. Samples were collected pre- post-laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), with the visit intervals divided into four visits: pre-surgery...
Introduction Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a common medical emergency that causes significant deaths and morbidity. Effective risk classification crucial for clinical decision-making resource allocation. Several assessments, including the Glasgow-Blatchford score (GBS), AIMS65, National Early Warning Score (NEWS), + Lactate (NEWS+L), are widely used, but each has unique strengths disadvantages. The purpose of this study to examine predictive performance different scoring systems...
Background: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remains a major global health challenge, affecting over 292 million people worldwide. The virus, often contracted in early childhood or during pregnancy, can lead to serious liver conditions like cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and failure. As part of the World Health Organization's strategy reduce incidence mortality CHB by 2030, improving treatment outcomes through advanced diagnostic therapeutic strategies is essential. infection persists due...
Induction therapy with IL-2 receptor antagonist (IL2-RA) is recommended as a first-line agent in low immunological risk kidney transplant recipients. However, the role of IL2-RA setting tacrolimus-based immunosuppression has not been fully investigated.To compare different induction therapeutic strategies 2 doses basiliximab vs. no immunologic recipients per KFSHRC protocol.Prospective, randomized, double blind, non-inferiority, controlled clinical trial EXPECTED OUTCOMES: 1. Primary...
Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of catastrophic disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic. This study aimed to provide epidemiologic and clinical characteristics patients with confirmed COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia determine whether characteristic profiles differ between who are symptomatic vs. asymptomatic for disease. The first 492 consecutive diagnosed SARS-CoV-2 infection at King Faisal Specialist Hospital Research Centre March...
This study provides epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of 492 consecutive patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection at King Faisal Specialist Hospital Research Centre in Saudi Arabia between March September 2020. Data were collected from electronic case reports. The cohort was 54% male, 20.4% aged >60 years, 19.9% 31–40 17% 41–50 years. median incubation period 16 days, upper lower 95% quartiles 27 10 respectively. Most (79.2%) symptomatic. Variables significantly different...
Abstract Background and aim Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common benign valvular disease though with an incidence of 0.2-1.9%/year sudden cardiac death (SCD) related to complex ventricular arrhythmias in the form arrhythmic MVP (AMVP). In MVP, first diagnostic approach transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) that should be used described morphological functional features also presence mitral annular disjunction (MAD) which seems associated AMVP. The our study describe association between...
