Article Synopsis
- - Crohn's disease is a long-term inflammatory condition primarily affecting the gastrointestinal tract, particularly the colon and terminal ileum; it was diagnosed in a 42-year-old female after she presented with chronic abdominal pain in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in 2021.
- - Imaging showed a mass in the transverse colon that was invading the stomach, and a biopsy revealed reactive colonic mucosa with signs of inflammation.
- - The patient successfully underwent laparoscopic surgery to remove parts of the colon and stomach and was later diagnosed with Crohn's disease, enjoying an uncomplicated recovery with ongoing follow-up care.
Objectives: Comparison of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) with multiple daily injections (MDI) in achieving glycemic control in youths with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).
Methods: Retrospective cohort study including 2 matched groups of youths with T1DM treated by CSII or MDI in a tertiary specialized children's hospital in Saudi Arabia. Children and adolescents aged up to 18 years, diagnosed with T1DM and using CSII or MDI, from the period 2016 to 2018.
Background: Knowledge regarding surgical site infections (SSIs) can help reduce hospital stay, morbidity, and mortality associated with SSI.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the knowledge and awareness of SSI among patients undergoing surgeries across Saudi Arabia.
Methods: This multi-center cross-sectional study included adult patients (aged >18 years) who underwent surgery at six centers located across the five regions of Saudi Arabia.
Purpose: Studies on total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in Saudi Arabia are scarce, and none have reported the knowledge and attitude of the procedure in Saudi Arabia. Our study aims to measure the knowledge and attitude of TKA among the adult Saudi population.
Methods: To encompass a representative sample of this cross-sectional survey, all 13 administrative areas were used as ready-made geographical clusters.
