The First Confirmed Pediatric Chronic Osteomyelitis due to in Oman.

We describe here the first confirmed case in Oman of chronic osteomyelitis due to in a previously healthy four-year-old Omani girl. After laboratory confirmation of infection using molecular and qualitative and quantitative serological assays, the case was successfully managed with a combination of oral ciprofloxacin and cotrimoxazole and thereafter followed up for a long period without remission.

Knowledge of Anticoagulation Among Saudi Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background Knowledge about oral anticoagulant treatment can impact treatment outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, evidence is scarce regarding the knowledge of oral anticoagulants among Saudi patients with atrial fibrillation. Hence, this study aimed to assess the level of anticoagulation knowledge among patients with atrial fibrillation taking oral anticoagulants.

Novel frameshift mutation in the gene causing spastic ataxia of charlevoix-saguenay in a consanguineous family from the Arabian Peninsula: A case report and review of literature.

Background: Familial cases of autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of charlevoix-saguenay have not been reported in the Arabian Peninsula, although the consanguineous marriage rate is very high. We report the first family from the Arabian Peninsula harboring a novel frameshift mutation in the gene.

Case Summary: A 33-year-old man presented to our neurology clinic with balance problems and weakness of distal upper and lower limbs.

GNE myopathy in the bedouin population of Kuwait: Genetics, prevalence, and clinical description.

Introduction: GNE myopathy is a rare recessive myopathy caused by mutations in the GNE gene. It is mainly a distal myopathy with relative sparing of the quadriceps muscle.

Methods: Patients with distal myopathies from Kuwait were examined and tested for the Middle Eastern GNE gene founder mutation, p.

Isolated severe median mononeuropathy caused by a jellyfish sting.

Neuropathies caused by jellyfish stings are extremely rare and poorly studied. A 20-year-old female patient was stung on the volar aspect of the right forearm by an unidentified species of jellyfish. Local cutaneous reaction was followed within few days by severe median mononeuropathy, involving the motor and sensory branches to the hand and forearm but sparing the palmar branch.

Clinically definite ALS presenting weeks after mild electric injury: causality or coincidence?

Motor neuron syndromes including typical ALS develop very rarely after electrotrauma, with possible causality discussed but not confirmed. We report on a 44-year-old male who developed clinically definite ALS by the revised El Escorial criteria with onset weeks after mild electric injury. He presented with asymmetric upper limb amyotrophy and weakness beginning around the entry point of the current.

Iatrogenic femoral neuropathy: two cases and literature update.

Iatrogenic femoral neuropathy is an uncommon surgical or obstetric complication that may be underreported. It results from compression, stretch, ischemia, or direct trauma of the nerve during hip arthroplasty, self-retaining retractor use in pelvicoabdominal surgery, lithotomy positioning for anesthesia or labor, and other more rare causes. Decreasing incidence of this complication after abdominal and gynecologic surgery but increase in its absolute numbers after hip arthroplasty has emerged over the last decade.

The electrical conductivity and surface conduction of consolidated rock cores.

A fully computerized high-pressure and high-temperature core holder device is simultaneously used to determine the electrical conductivity, zeta potential, and surface conductivity of consolidated rock cores in aqueous and nonaqueous systems. The total electrical conductivity of rock cores was determined by coupling streaming current and potential measurements. This shows that neglecting the surface conductivity Ksigma is crucial to converting the streaming potential into zeta potentials.

Hydrodynamic thickness of petroleum oil adsorbed layers in the pores of reservoir rocks.

The hydrodynamic thickness delta of adsorbed petroleum (crude) oil layers into the pores of sandstone rocks, through which the liquid flows, has been studied by Poiseuille's flow law and the evolution of (electrical) streaming current. The adsorption of petroleum oil is accompanied by a numerical reduction in the (negative) surface potential of the pore walls, eventually stabilizing at a small positive potential, attributed to the oil macromolecules themselves. After increasing to around 30% of the pore radius, the adsorbed layer thickness delta stopped growing either with time or with concentrations of asphaltene in the flowing liquid.
