Overcoming Diagnostic Challenges: A Rare Presentation of Primary Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) in a Young Female and the Importance of Timely Recognition.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a severe life-threatening hematological disorder characterized by the dysregulation of the immune system and a hyperinflammatory response. Prompt treatment is crucial to prevent fatality. Although primarily affecting infants, HLH can also occur in children and adults.

Residual risk of thromboembolic events despite anticoagulation in Middle Eastern patients with atrial fibrillation. The JoFib study.

Objectives: To investigate residual risk of thromboembolic events despite anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation form the Middle East.

Materials And Methods: Using data from the JoFib registry, we described the characteristics of patients treated with anticoagulants (n = 1654) and calculated the incidence rate for thromboembolic events. We constructed multivariable Cox proportional hazard models and calculated the population-attributable fraction to determine clinical factors predictive of residual thromboembolic events.

Sex differences in clinical features, utilization of oral anticoagulant agents, and 1-year outcome in Middle Eastern patients with atrial fibrillation.

Objective: Studies have revealed that sex can predict differences in multiple aspects of atrial fibrillation (AF). These differences are underreported in the Middle East. This study aims to describe sex-specific differences in risk factors, symptomatology, management, and outcomes in Middle Eastern patients with AF.

Cardiovascular medications used for comorbid diseases in patients with atrial fibrillation. The JoFib study.

Purpose: Many atrial fibrillation (AF) patients use cardiovascular medications for indications other than AF. These medications can affect morbidity and mortality. We aim to investigate the characteristics of AF patients who use different medication classes and their clinical course.

Factors Contributing to the Comprehensive Use of Food Labels in Jordan.

Food labels are low-cost, informational tools that can help curb the spread of diet-related non-communicable diseases. This study described consumers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to food labels in Jordan and explored the relationship between knowledge and attitude with comprehensive use of food labels. A cross-sectional, online survey assessed Jordanian adult consumers' ability to comprehend the nutritional contents of food labels (knowledge score), their attitudes towards food labels (attitude scale), and how frequently they used different parts of food labels (practice scale).
