Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis as a Unique Initial Presentation of Thyroid Storm.

Introduction: Thyrotoxicosis is associated with a hypercoagulable state, increasing the risk of thrombotic events like CVST. Literature review reveals thyroid hormone's role in promoting prothrombotic abnormalities, impacting coagulation factors and platelet function.

Case Report: This study explores the rare occurrence of thyroid storm complicated by deep cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) in a young male with no prior history of thyroid disease.

Multifocal disseminated necrotizing leukoencephalopathy as severe central nervous system toxicity from nivolumab therapy for Hodgkin lymphoma: a case report.

Nivolumab, a monoclonal antibody approved in 2014 as an immune checkpoint inhibitor, offers benefits in cancer treatment but can cause serious neurological complications, including multifocal disseminated necrotizing leukoencephalopathy. We report a case of severe central nervous system toxicity in a 13-year-old boy with Hodgkin lymphoma who was treated with nivolumab following an inadequate response to multiple lines of chemotherapy. After six cycles of nivolumab, the patient developed multifocal disseminated necrotizing leukoencephalopathy, presenting with altered mental status, seizures, and neurological deficits with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of extensive white matter involvement, rendering him completely disabled.

A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of the Prevalence and Risk Factors in Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Malfunction.

Introduction: Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) include permanent pacemakers (PPMs), implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices. They treat several cardiac issues and are dependent on batteries; however, similar to any medical equipment, they can fail. The prevalence and risk factors for CIED malfunction must be understood for earlier detection and better patient outcomes.

Short Tandem Repeat (STR) DNA Analysis for Using Coffee Cups As Forensic Medicine Evidence.

Introduction Forensic science has continually evolved, with innovations in DNA analysis techniques playing a pivotal role in improving the accuracy and reliability of criminal investigations. Short tandem repeats (STRs) have been a game-changer in forensic science, offering unique genetic markers to pinpoint individual identities. This study explores the application of STR DNA analysis to an unconventional source: coffee cups.

Robotics and Artificial Intelligence and Their Impact on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Cardiovascular Diseases.

A new era has begun in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders as a direct result of the significant developments that have been made in robotics and artificial intelligence (AI). This abstract investigates the potential and impact that AI algorithms and robotic systems may have in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular problems. The field of cardiovascular treatments has been completely transformed by robotically assisted surgeries, which have enabled minimally invasive procedures with increased patient safety and decreased recovery time.

Saudi Arabia Health Systems: Challenging and Future Transformations With Artificial Intelligence.

The healthcare system in Saudi Arabia is facing several challenges, including an aging population, an increase in chronic diseases, and a shortage of healthcare professionals. To address these challenges, the government is taking proactive steps, including expanding healthcare infrastructure, promoting the use of technology, improving the quality of healthcare services, and emphasizing the importance of preventive healthcare. In addition, the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions can play a crucial role in transforming the healthcare system by improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing the quality of care.

Pacemaker Malfunction in a Patient With Congestive Heart Failure and Hypertension.

A pacemaker is a medical device commonly used to regulate a patient's heartbeat in cases where the heart's natural electrical impulses may be erratic or compromised. Failure of a pacemaker, or pacemaker malfunction, can be life-threatening and requires immediate action to prevent serious complications. This case report describes a 75-year-old male patient with a history of ventricular tachycardia, congestive heart failure, hypertension, and smoking who was admitted to the hospital with symptoms of palpitations, dizziness, lightheadedness, and decreased level of alertness.

Patients' Opinions Toward Healthcare Quality and Improvement in Aseer Health: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction Population health is crucial to government planning. The 2030 national vision is transforming all Saudi sectors. The health sector revolution intends to boost life expectancy by reducing mortality due to road traffic accidents and morbidity due to chronic illness.
