Methods: We prospectively collected data of all patients who were admitted to Al Ain Hospital with camel-related craniofacial injuries that were treated operatively during the period of January 2015 to January 2020.

Camel-Related Head Injury in a High-Income Developing Country.

Introduction: Injury caused by large animals varies according to the regional distribution of the animals and their relationship to humans. Camels are usually friendly to humans; however, occasionally they become very hostile, especially in rutting season. Most in-hospital trauma deaths are related to head injury.

Partially avulsed anus in blunt traumatic perineal laceration: Case report.

Blunt civilian perineal laceration with anorectal avulsion is rare and usually associated with severe pelvic trauma. The principles of management of these injuries consist of repair of the laceration (primarily or secondary), diversion of fecal stream, and presacral drainage of the wound. Unnecessary diversion of fecal stream may add complications and increases patient's morbidity.

Life-threatening duodenal perforation complicating endoscopic retrograde cholangiopanceatography: A case series.

Introduction: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure for biliary and pancreatic diseases. It is associated with low rate of complications. However, some complications as duodenal perforation can be fatal.

Anatomical locations of air for rapid diagnosis of pneumothorax in blunt trauma patients.

Background: Bedside diagnostic ultrasound for traumatic pneumothorax is easy and reliable. However, the thoracic anatomical locations to be examined are debateable. We aimed to study the anatomical locations of blunt traumatic pneumothoraces as defined by chest CT scan to identify the areas that should be scanned while performing bedside diagnostic ultrasound.

Management of blunt adrenal gland injury in a community-based hospital.

Introduction: Injury of the adrenal gland in blunt trauma is rare. The routine usage of the whole body computed tomography (CT) scan helps in early diagnosis. We aimed to study the incidence, mechanism of injury, management, and outcome of adrenal injury in blunt trauma patients treated in a community-based hospital.

A rare case of an adult traumatic bicycle handlebar hernia: A case report and review of the literature.

The term handlebar hernia had been applied to describe the traumatic hernia that result from a handlebar-like blunt objects. The force of the blunt trauma is insufficient to breach the elastic skin, yet, it can cause abdominal wall musculature disruption. Serious intraabdominal injuries can result which may be evident at the time of trauma or may be delayed.

Head, face and neck camel-related injuries: Biomechanics and severity.

Introduction: Large animal-related human injuries are associated with high morbidity and mortality. There are no studies on biomechanics of the camel-related head, face, and neck (HFN) injuries. We aimed to study the mechanism, anatomical distribution and severity of camel-related HFN injuries.

Intestinal obstruction caused by a laxative drug (Psyllium): A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Psyllium in granular dosage form is used as an over - the counter safe laxative drug. It has a considerable hygroscopic propriety which allows it to retain water and expands rapidly to become many times of its original size.
