The First Observational Study of Acute Medical Unit in Qatar.

 Acute medical unit (AMU) is a dedicated facility to treat patients with acute medical conditions requiring a short hospital stay (< 72 hours) with the support of a multidisciplinary team led by a medical consultant. We aim to present a study of the AMU model of care from Qatar to provide insight into its effects on patient care and management.  Retrospective data from AMU facility at Hamad General Hospital (HGH), Doha, Qatar, was collected from January 2019 to December 2020 from the electronic patient record.

Seronegative Antiphospholipid Syndrome: A Challenging Case Report.

Seronegative antiphospholipid syndrome (SN-APS) is uncommon and challenging condition, which should be included in the differential diagnosis of stroke in young, since it can result in arterial thrombosis.SN-APS is typically diagnosed by exclusion; however, it is crucial to recognize it in order to choose the best antithrombotic treatment to lower the recurrence rate.

A case of crescentic glomerulonephritis in a patient with COVID-19 infection: A case report and literature review.

Rationale: Kidney involvement with COVID-19 infection is a well-known complication, and the majority of kidney involvement is related to ischemic injury/acute tubular injury. However, there are some cases of glomerulonephritis, the etiology of which is not yet known, but an immune process is likely to be the trigger.

Patient Concerns: A 27-year-old man presented to our hospital with facial puffiness and lower-limb swelling.

Rifampicin-Induced Pulmonary Embolism: A Rare Side Effect.

Rifampicin is an established and effective antibiotic and a gold standard in treating tuberculosis (TB). Venous thromboembolism (VTE) events are a rare side effect of rifampicin, which has been reported in a few case reports. The exact mechanism is yet not clear, however, could include immunological and hematological causes.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis With Saddle Pulmonary Embolism and Deep Vein Thrombosis: A Rare Case Report.

Pulmonary tuberculosis is a common endemic disease in developing countries but its thrombogenic tendency is not well-studied and established yet. Pulmonary embolism is rarely reported in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. There are reports stating the relation of pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) with a severe infection of tuberculosis but no data is available to establish a mutual association between pulmonary tuberculosis and pulmonary thromboembolism.

Invasive Klebsiella pneumoniae Syndrome in Qatar: A Case Report.

is a Gram-negative bacteria that can infect most of the body's organs, from the lungs to the central nervous system. It is notorious for causing pneumonia in alcoholic, diabetic, and hospitalized patients. It is now emerging as a cause of abscesses involving multiple organs.

Avoidability of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in an elderly hospital cohort with cases assessed for causality by the updated RUCAM score.

Background: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) represents an increasing morbidity in the general population, but more so in the elderly cohort of patients. Despite this, the concept of its prevention through prospective analysis has largely remained unexamined. We evaluated the utility of recently validated adverse drug reactions (ADR) avoidability tool in a cohort of elderly patients with DILI.
