Clinical characteristics, Risk factors, and outcomes of Posterior circulation stroke: A retrospective study between younger and older adults in Saudi Arabia.

Introduction: Posterior circulation stroke (PCS) may be less prevalent than its anterior counterpart but contributes to substantial morbidity and mortality. The aim was to characterize PCS's demographics, clinical presentation, management, and outcomes between younger and older adults in Saudi Arabia.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at two tertiary medical centers in Saudi Arabia between March 2016 and December 2020.

Combined Central and Peripheral Demyelinating Disease With Good Response to B-Cell Depleting Therapy.

Combined central and peripheral demyelination (CCPD) is a rare disorder characterized by demyelinating lesions in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. The following case report is of a 29-year-old man who presented with a three-month history of progressive lower and upper limb weakness associated with facial and arm tremor, as well as urinary hesitancy. Brain and spine magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple demyelinating plaques.

The Average Time Gap Between CA-125 Tumor Marker Elevation and Confirmation of Recurrence in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Patients at Princess Noorah Oncology Center, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The monitoring of the tumor marker cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) is commonly used as a part of epithelial ovarian cancer monitoring for recurrence. This study seeks to calculate the average time between CA-125 elevation above 35 IU/mL and evidence of recurrence through any currently accepted modality (positive clinical findings, biopsy, imaging, or PET [positron emission tomography] findings) in a patient population in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. We studied patients who were diagnosed between January 2006 and December 2016, underwent successful primary therapy, and were then followed up at Princess Noorah Oncology Center, King Abdulaziz Medical City, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
