The First Report of Isolated Clitoral Hood Hair-Thread Tourniquet Syndrome: A Study of Six Patients.

Background and objective Hair-thread tourniquet syndrome (HTTS) is a rare and potentially dangerous condition that occurs when a hair strand or fabric thread is wrapped around the penis, clitoris, toes, fingers, or other appendages, leading to focal edema, ischemia, and necrosis. This study aimed to examine the cases of six female patients with isolated clitoral hood HTTS. Methods This was a retrospective study involving six female patients (age range: two to six years) with isolated clitoral hood tourniquet who presented to the outpatient department (OPD) and emergency room (ER) of the pediatric and adolescent gynecology service at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia between January 2010 and December 2021.

Strengthening effect of bioceramic cement when used to repair simulated internal resorption cavities in endodontically treated teeth.

Background: The reinforcement of teeth with internal root resorption is essential to prevent their fracture.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the fracture resistance of the premolar teeth with internal root resorption cavities (IRCs), repaired with glass-ionomer cement (GIC), gutta-percha (GP) or EndoSequence® Root Repair MaterialTM (RRM).

Material And Methods: Forty lower premolars, instrumented to size 50, were used.

The utility of digital cholangioscopy (SpyGlass DS) in biliary and pancreatic diseases: A clinical feasibility study at two tertiary care centers in Saudi Arabia (with Videos).

Background And Study Aim: Since its inception in 2007, single-operator cholangioscopy (SOC) has gained popularity for many diagnostically and therapeutically challenging biliary and pancreatic conditions. Many studies have been published to evaluate the feasibility, usefulness, cost-effectiveness, and safety profile of the first generation. This paper is a descriptive study in which we aim to share the experience of two tertiary care centers with the novel version of SOC, SpyGlass DS.
