Investigating outcomes of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery: a single-center retrospective study in Jordan.

Background: Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery brings significant cardiac benefits but also risks post-operative complications, including cognitive impairments and infections.

Materials & Methods: We analyzed 108 patient records between 2011 and 2021 at the Princess Muna Al-Hussein Cardiac Center, Irbid, Jordan. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of postoperative events.

Enhancing mortality prediction after coronary artery bypass graft: a machine learning approach utilizing EuroScore.

We developed a machine learning model using EuroScore assumptions and preoperative and intraoperative risk factors to predict mortality after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). We retrospectively examined data from 108 CABG patients at King Abdullah University Hospital, classifying them into risk groups via EuroScore and predicting mortality through random forest classification. High-risk patients displayed longer surgical times and significant factors such as age and surgery choice.

Massive Localized Lymphedema: Two Case Studies and Diagnostic Challenges.

Massive localized lymphedema (MLL) is an emerging clinical phenomenon predominantly observed in morbidly obese individuals. It presents both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges to clinicians due to its characterization by large, pendulous masses in the abdomen or thigh. MLL may resemble malignant conditions, such as liposarcoma, leading to unnecessary invasive interventions.

Gluteal Mystery: A Case Report of Superficial CD34-Positive Fibroblastic Tumor.

The case at hand involves a 25-year-old woman suffering from a gradual enlargement of a gluteal mass over a five-year period. This rare medical condition is classified as superficial CD34-positive fibroblastic tumor (SCPFT), an intermediate form of mesenchymal malignancy, originally identified in medical literature in 2014. Initial physical examination revealed a 10 x 10 cm lump in the right upper gluteal region.

Right Atrioventricular Myxoma Presenting with Recurrent Syncopal Attacks.

BACKGROUND Myxomas are rare benign tumors of the heart. These tumors are commonly located in the left atrium, but rarely can affect the right side of the heart. Although it is a relatively rare tumor, it is the most common primary cardiac tumor, accounting for 75-80% of them.
