Survival benefits of extensive surgery in patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma.

Background: Despite the guidelines recommending thyroid lobectomy, many papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) patients still undergo total thyroidectomy. PTMC's optimal treatment remains unclear. We aimed to determine whether total thyroidectomy improves outcomes compared to less extensive surgery.

Carbamazepine Induced Stevens-Johnson Syndrome That Developed into Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis: Review of the Literature.

Background: Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis are both skin diseases believed to be following the pattern of a type IV hypersensitivity mechanism, which can be triggered by infectious agents or administration of a variety of drugs as part of the spectrum of severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs). Fever and blisters, that peel forming painful raw areas, are early symptoms of this condition, and complications such as dehydration, sepsis, pneumonia, and multiple organ failure are typically seen during the course of the disease. .

Double Magnet Ingestion Causing Intestinal Perforation with Peritonitis: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Introduction: Foreign body ingestion is a common pediatric complain, and most can be passed spontaneously; however, magnetic object ingestion is rather rare, and they can cause severe complications when multiple magnets are ingested, as they lead to entrapment of bowel walls between them, causing ischemia, pressure necrosis, perforation, and fistula formation. . Herein, we present a case of a 16-month-old female patient presented to our department complaining of continuous vomiting for two days along with fever and irritability.

Post-surgical staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome in pediatrics: A case report.

Introduction: Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a rare but serious, life-threatening medical condition and potentially lethal if not detected and treated early. It is mainly caused by a toxin called toxin-1 produced by Staphylococcus aureus, and characterized by fever, hypotension, rash, skin desquamation and multisystem involvement.

Case Presentation: Herein, we describe a nine-month-old male patient who presented to the hospital complaining of fever, vomiting and hypoactivity on day one post-orchidopexy.

Sutureless Approach for Gastroschisis Patients in Palestine.

Gastroschisis is a ventral abdominal wall congenital defect with bowel herniation outside the abdominal cavity. Gastroschisis traditional management is the primary operative closure surgery (POCS), but the sutureless silo approach (SSA), a novel alternative, gains wide acceptance in the developed countries and across nations. This study describes the first-ever gastroschisis patient managed with the sutureless silo approach in Palestine.
