Unforeseen consequences: A case report of misdiagnosis in pediatric ingestion of a fish bone.

Children are frequently reported as cases of foreign body ingestion, with fishbone ingestion being particularly prevalent in communities where fish consumption is common. Although many instances of foreign body ingestion resolve spontaneously, the ingestion of sharp objects like fishbones poses a greater risk of morbidity and mortality due to their propensity for causing complications. Furthermore, incidents of foreign body ingestion often present with nonspecific symptoms or may go unnoticed, potentially leading to misdiagnosis and complicating the clinical course.

Successful retrieval of deep intracardiac migrated broken umbilical venous catheter in a preterm infant: Case report.

Umbilical catheters serve as indispensable tools in the realm of neonatal intensive care, contributing significantly to the well-being of premature infants. While rare, it is essential to approach their handling with utmost caution, as it can lead to fatal complications. We report a case of a preterm 9-day-old male infant, who was referred to our center for specialized treatment following an unsuccessful surgical attempt to address a fractured umbilical venous catheter (UVC).

Acute Kidney Injury and Diffuse Pulmonary Hemorrhage Secondary to IgA Nephropathy and Henoch-Schönlein Purpura: A Case Report.

IgA nephropathy (IgAN), characterized as immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis, can occasionally manifest alongside the pulmonary-renal syndrome. Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP), an inflammatory condition affecting small vessels through leukocytoclastic vasculitis, exhibits a close association with IgA nephropathy. Nonetheless, HSP's infrequent complications encompass pulmonary hemorrhage.

The Diagnostic and Therapeutic Dilemma of Seronegative Pulmonary Renal Syndrome: A Case Report.

Pulmonary renal syndrome (PRS) is a combination of rapid progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) caused by a variety of immunological and non-immunological etiologies. The difficulty in identifying and reporting seronegative PRS cases could be attributed to the lack of specific immunological markers. Thus, we report a rare case of a 13-year-old boy who was initially diagnosed with idiopathic pauci-immune pulmonary capillaritis (IPIPC).

Clinical and epidemiological aspects of herpes zoster disease in a primary care setting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: A retrospective cohort study.

Context: Herpes zoster (HZ), or shingles, is one of the most common infectious diseases. HZ can be associated with other diseases, such as cancer and immunocompromised conditions. Thus, early recognition of the disease characteristics and clinical manifestations is critical to decrease the disease burden and to avoid further complications.

Changes in physical activity during COVID-19 pandemic among Saudi Arabians: Results from a cross-sectional study.

Background And Aims: The COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant change in sedentary behaviors have had immense health, economic, and social implications globally. As governments worldwide imposed lockdowns and curfews, the amount of time spent indoors greatly increased. This lead to a dramatic change in physical activity (PA) levels and profound consequences on daily routines.
