Article Synopsis
- Brucellosis is a widespread zoonotic disease that predominantly affects spinal health, yet there's limited information on the best antibiotic treatments for spinal brucellosis.
- A retrospective study conducted over 11 years in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, analyzed the treatment outcomes of 35 spinal brucellosis patients, focusing on their age, symptoms, and antibiotic regimens used.
- The most common treatment regimen was a combination of streptomycin, doxycycline, and rifampicin, with a low failure rate; however, some patients required surgical intervention, indicating the seriousness of the condition.
Background And Objective: Clinicians must possess a comprehensive understanding of variations in canal morphology and configuration during endodontic procedures to enhance treatment success. This study aims to assess and analyze the canal configurations of maxillary first premolars using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography within the sub-population of Western Saudi Arabia.
Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, following the acquisition of ethical clearance from Batterjee Medical College in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, a retrospective examination of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans of maxillary first premolars in adult patients was conducted.
We report the case of a 51-year-old gentleman who underwent living renal transplantation in Pakistan for end-stage renal disease one and a half years ago. He presented to our hospital with renal artery stenosis and an extra-renal pseudoaneurysm at the anastomotic site of the transplanted kidney. This can cause graft dysfunction and hypertension due to impairment of arterial perfusion in the transplanted kidney.
