Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Its Associated Risk Factors Among Emergency Healthcare Workers: A Saudi Cross-Sectional Analytical Study.

Background: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disease characterized by exposure to threatened death or serious injury and directly experiencing or witnessing the event. Many healthcare professionals have had PTSD, but emergency physicians may be particularly susceptible. To our knowledge, no study has been performed in Saudi Arabia to identify the prevalence and associated risk factors of PTSD among emergency staff.

Prevalence of ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) and in sheep at El Huda and El Nuhud animals production research stations, Sudan.

A cross-sectional study was performed 200 blood samples and 314 tick samples in El Huda and El Nuhud animals production research stations, Sudan, in May (summer) and December (winter) in 2016, to determine the prevalence of in sheep and the potential risk factors associated with the infection. A total of 200 blood samples and 314 tick samples were collected from El Huda (n = 103 blood, 97 tick) and El Nuhud (n = 97 blood, 217 tick) stations. Data on the risk factors, such as age, sex, ecotype of sheep, body condition score and seasons were recorded.

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy versus open surgery for treatment of staghorn stones in pediatric patients.

Introduction: We compare percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and open surgery in the treatment of staghorn stones in children.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the electronic records of children who underwent treatment for staghorn stones between September 2000 and August 2013. They were divided between Group 1 (patients who underwent PCNL) and Group 2 (patients who underwent open surgery).

Assessment of recoverability of kidney function in children with obstructive calcular anuria: multicenter study.

Objective: Urolithiasis in children can cause considerable morbidity. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of intervention on the recoverability of kidney functions.

Materials And Methods: This prospective study included 93 children (66 boys and 27 girls) with median age of 3 years (range 0-14).

Bilateral Wilms' tumors: single-center experience with 22 cases and literature review.

Objectives: Bilateral Wilms' tumors represent a therapeutic challenge. The primary aim of management is eradication of the neoplasm and preservation of renal function. We present our experience in the management of such cases in a single-center experience.

Comparison of endourological and open cystolithotomy in the management of bladder stones in children.

Purpose: Vesical stones are common in children in developing countries. Cystolithotomy is the traditional treatment but a percutaneous approach has been advocated. The aim of this study was to evaluate retrospectively our experience with percutaneous cystolithotomy, cystolitholapaxy and open cystolithotomy in children with bladder stones.
