Death and Venous Thromboembolism Analyses among Hospitalized COVID-19-Positive Patients: A Multicenter Study.

Background: Coagulation disorders are frequently encountered among patients infected with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), especially among admitted patients with more severe symptoms. This study aims to determine the mortality rate and incidence and risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

Methods: This retrospective observational cohort study was conducted from March to July 2020 using a hospital database.

Hepatobiliary manifestations of COVID-19 and their impact on severity and outcomes in a single center in Saudi Arabia.

Recognizing hepatic manifestations of COVID-19 and their impact on the severity and outcome is crucial in managing this emerging pandemic. However, we lack such reported data in Saudi Arabia regarding this clinical entity. This is a retrospective observational study conducted on 387 patients with COVID-19 disease who were hospitalized at King Fahad Hospital of the University from March-September 2020.

Early Determinants of Mortality in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.

Purpose: This study investigated the clinical determinants of mortality in hospitalized patients infected with COVID-19.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective multicenter large cohort of COVID-19 patients hospitalized between March 2020 and February 2021. We included patients admitted with a confirmed COVID-19 infection with positive COVID-19 through real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

Predictors of Illness Severity in COVID-19 Cases in Saudi Arabia.

Purpose: Multiple studies worldwide have reported the clinical and epidemiological features of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), with limited reports from the Middle East. This study describes the clinical and epidemiological features of COVID-19 cases in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and identified factors associated with the severity of illness.

Patients And Methods: This was an observational study of 341 COVID-19 cases.

Infective Endocarditis Caused by : A Case Report and Literature Review.

bacteria are widespread pathogens that account for considerable infections with significant morbidity and mortality, especially in hospitalized patients. The genus contains a large number of species; however, the majority of infections are caused by , infections by other species are less reported. is a ubiquitous Gram-negative bacterium that has been reported as a causative agent of some infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients but has rarely been reported as a cause of infective endocarditis.

Unusual Presentation of Aspergillus Pericarditis: A Case Report.

Cardiac aspergillosis is a rare fungal infection that affects the heart and/or pericardium of immunocompromised patients. Here, the authors report a rare case of a 36-year-old female with aspergillus pericarditis. The patient was diagnosed with infective endocarditis and splenic infarction and treated with emergency splenectomy and double-valve replacement surgery.

Exome sequencing of Saudi Arabian patients with ADPKD.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by progressive development of kidney cysts and enlargement and dysfunction of the kidneys. The Consortium of Radiologic Imaging Studies of the Polycystic Kidney Disease (CRISP) cohort revealed that 89.1% had either a or mutation.

Challenges in the management of adenocarcinoma of ampulla of Vater in pregnancy: A case report and review of literature.

Introduction: Ampullary adenocarcinoma is a rare entity during pregnancy. It accounts for 0.5% of all gastrointestinal malignancies.

Aortic Valve Presenting with a Stroke: A case report and review of the literature.

originating from the aortic valve are rare. We report a 40-year-old male patient who presented to the King Fahd Hospital of the University, Khobar, Saudi Arabia, in 2017 with a stroke. Transoesophageal echocardiography indicated a mobile mass measuring 6 × 2 mm attached to the right coronary cusp of the aortic valve and a mobile interatrial with a small patent (PFO).

Thoracic Complications of Bariatric Surgeries: Overlooked Entities.

Introduction: Bariatric surgeries are increasingly performed to treat obesity worldwide. The currently available literature on these surgeries mainly focuses on their abdominal complications, giving less attention to their thoracic ones. Hence, the present work aimed to highlight the thoracic complications associated with bariatric surgeries.
