Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and thyroid nodules (TNs) with the risk of malignancy are increasing globally. Hence, we conducted this study to evaluate the prevalence and the associated predictors for DM among adult patients with TNs in Royal Commission Hospital, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2021.
Background: Thyroid cancer is increasing globally and is currently the most prevalent endocrine malignancy. Recent data show an increase in the incidence of thyroid cancer in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Thyroid ultrasound and fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) are the cornerstones in managing thyroid nodules.

- The study aimed to analyze one-year mortality rates after osteoporotic femur fractures and identify factors linked to increased mortality, focusing on patients from King Saud Medical City in Saudi Arabia over an 11-year period.
- Out of 108 patients with femoral fractures, 77.8% had proximal fractures, and 55.6% were under 75 years old; hypertension and diabetes were common but did not significantly affect mortality risk. The overall mortality rate was 21.3%, with 25% mortality for proximal fractures compared to 8.3% for distal fractures.
- Findings suggest that patients with normal bone mass density had higher mortality rates compared to those with abnormal BMD; the study
Crescent fracture-dislocations are sunset of lateral compression injuries. They can be associated with vascular, bowel, genitourinary, or soft tissue degloving injuries. Here, we describe a patient with bilateral crescent fracture-dislocation, right common iliac artery (CIA) injury, and an extensive Morel-Lavallée lesion (MLL).

These patients develop ACS in the absence of classic pain and physical findings. We report two cases of posttraumatic silent ACS in two healthy competent adult patients presenting mainly with swollen tense compartments.

Some authors believe femoral neck fracture of Pipkin-III injury is largely iatrogenic. Recent literature showed none of these injuries had excellent outcome, and most patients end up with hip replacement.
