A case of a Jordanian male twin with Cohen's syndrome, with genetic analysis and muscle biopsy; case report.

Introduction And Importance: Cohen's syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive developmental disorder. It usually presents with a wide variety of muscular, neurological and ophthalmological clinical features. In this report, we present a rare case of the first Jordanian male identical twin with Cohen syndrome with the first ever muscle biopsy results reported.

The epidemiology of lymphoma in Jordan: A nationwide population study of 4189 cases according to World Health Organization classification system.

Objective/background: Lymphoma is a common human cancer that shows a variable geographic incidence worldwide. It is the fourth most common cancer in Jordan. Systemic reports of descriptive epidemiology on lymphoma from the Middle East are limited.

Immunoglobulin G4-Related Hypertrophic Pachymeningitis of the Spine: A Case Report and Systematic Review of the Literature.

Background: Spinal immunoglobulin G4-related hypertrophic pachymeningitis (IgG4-HP) is a rare disease. Little information is known regarding the diagnosis, management, and prognosis of patients with spinal IgG4-HP.

Methods: The authors present a case of spinal IgG4-HP with a systematic review of the literature according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.

Low Molecular Weight Chitosan-Insulin Complexes Solubilized in a Mixture of Self-Assembled Labrosol and Plurol Oleaque and Their Glucose Reduction Activity in Rats.

Oral insulin delivery that better mimics physiological pathways is a necessity as it ensures patient comfort and compliance. A system which is based on a vehicle of nano order where positively charged chitosan interacts with negatively charged insulin and forms a polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) solubilizate, which is then solubilized into an oily phase of oleic acid, labrasol, and plurol oleaque-protects insulin against enzymatic gastrointestinal reduction. The use of an anionic fatty acid in the oily phase, such as oleic acid, is thought to allow an interaction with cationic chitosan, hence reducing particle size.

Leiomyosarcoma of the urinary bladder: A review and a report of two further cases.

Objectives: To review the published cases of leiomyosarcoma of the urinary bladder and to report two further cases.

Methods: The databases Pubmed and Hinari were searched using the keywords 'bladder', 'leiomyosarcoma' and 'smooth muscle neoplasm'. The 14 articles identified were reviewed, and we present a further two cases.

Serum prostate-specific antigen, radiologic findings and Gleason score in prostate biopsies in Jordan.

Background And Objectives: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and the PSA ratio are good screening tests for prostate carcinoma. The significance of PSA may be different from one ethnic group to another. Radiologic findings may be helpful in detecting prostate carcinoma.
