Transmetatarsal amputations in patients with diabetes mellitus: A contemporary analysis from an academic tertiary referral centre in a developing community.

Transmetatarsal amputation (TMA) involves the surgical removal of the distal portion of metatarsals in the foot. It aims to maintain weight-bearing and independent ambulation while eliminating the risk of spreading soft tissue infection or gangrene. This study aimed to explore the risk factors and surgical outcomes of TMA in patients with diabetes at an academic tertiary referral center in Jordan.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the management of chronic limb-threatening ischemia in Northern Jordan: Case series and literature review.

Introduction: The novel COVID-19 pandemic has imposed unprecedented restrictions on healthcare services worldwide. In developing nations such as Jordan, appreciable impacts on healthcare delivery ensued owing to limited resources. As a result, managing chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) has been modified to accommodate altercations in the system.

Lesion Type Analysis of Hemodialysis Patients Who Underwent Endovascular Management for Symptomatic Central Venous Disease.

Purpose: Central venous lesions (CVLs) can adversely affect hemodialysis access maturation and maintenance, which in turn worsen patient morbidity and access circuit patency. In this study, we assessed several clinical variables, patient characteristics, and clinical consequences of symptomatic central vein stenosis and obstruction in patients who underwent renal replacement therapy in the form of hemodialysis.

Patients And Methods: The medical records of all hemodialysis patients with clinically symptomatic CVLs who underwent digital subtraction angiography treatment at King Abdullah University Hospital between January 2017 and December 2019 were retrieved.

Myxoma of the renal pelvis masquerading pelviureteric stenosis: conservative limited resection with renal preservation: case presentation and literature review.

Background: Myxoma is a relatively rare mesenchymal tumor seen mainly in the heart and skin. Renal myxomas in particular are exceptionally rare where only 17 cases were previously reported in the English Language literature. Only 2 of the 17 reported cases were located in the renal sinus/pelvis.

Interobserver Variability in the Diagnosis of High-Grade Prostatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia in a Tertiary Hospital in Northern Jordan.

Prostate intraepithelial neoplasia is described as a precursor lesion to prostatic adenocarcinoma. High-grade prostate intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) is classified as both grade 2 and 3 prostate intraepithelial neoplasia due to inconsistency between pathologists' findings. In our study, we assessed the interobserver variability in the diagnosis of HGPIN among genitourinary and nongenitourinary pathologists.

Chondroma of the Falx Cerebri with Central Cystic Degeneration and Hemorrhage: A Case Report.

BACKGROUND Intracranial chondroma is a rare benign tumor that more commonly arises from the skull base. Chondroma arising from the falx cerebri is very rare, with only 19 cases previously reported in the literature. The imaging characteristics of intracranial chondroma and meningioma can be similar.

Adult-type granulosa cell tumor of the testicle: case report.

Granulosa cell tumor (GCT) is a sex-cord neoplasm of the gonads classified into either juvenile (jGrCT) or adult type (aGrCT). It is commonly arising in ovaries but is much rarer in men, with only around 50 male cases previously reported in the literature. We report on a 54-year-old male patient with a right testicular GCT measuring 10.
