Purpose: To investigate temporomandibular disorder (TMD) prevalence as well as potential TMD risk factors among postgraduate students.
Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional and correlation study, 1,255 postgraduate students from different universities were recruited to answer Fonseca's Anamnestic Index (FAI) in addition to collected demographic data and relevant dental history. FAI was used to classify TMD severity.
Background: The impact of various management plans on subsequent fertility after tubal ectopic pregnancy (EP) is not well known. The objective of the present study was an evaluation of the subsequent fertility outcome among women with EP managed either surgical or medical with systemic methotrexate or medical management followed by surgical one.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was done by reviewing of medical records of all women diagnosed with EP at King Faisal Military Hospital, Southern Region, Saudi Arabia throughout the period from January 2015 to December 2016 provided that they were hemodynamic stable, with starting βhCG level less than 10000 IU/L, and adnexal mass less than 5 cm.
Introduction: To detect the accuracy of the risk of malignancy index-I (RMI-I) in diagnosing ovarian malignancy in menopausal women.
Material And Methods: Eighty-two menopausal women with suspected ovarian masses (OMs) scheduled for surgery were included in this study. Blood samples were preoperatively collected from participants to measure the CA-125, followed by transvaginal sonography to evaluate the suspected OMs regarding the consistency, whether the OMs were unilateral or bilateral, unilocular or multilocular, and for extra-ovarian metastasis.
Purpose: Spetzler-Martin grade (SMG) I-II (low-grade) brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs) are often considered safe for microsurgical resection; however, the role of endovascular treatment (EVT) remains to be clarified in this indication, especially for unruptured BAVMs. The purpose of our study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of endovascular treatment as the first-line treatment for low-grade BAVMs.
Methods: From our local database, we retrospectively retrieved patients with low-grade BAVMs, either ruptured or unruptured, treated by embolization as first-line treatment in our department between January 2005 and January 2020.
Purpose: To assess the obliteration rate, functional outcome, hemorrhagic complication, and mortality rates of exclusion treatment of low-grade brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs) (Spetzler and Martin grades (SMGs) 1 and 2), either ruptured or unruptured.
Methods: Electronic databases-Ovid MEDLINE and PubMed-were searched for studies in which there was evidence of exclusion treatment of low-grade BAVMs treated either by endovascular, surgical, radiosurgical, or multimodality treatment. The primary outcome of interest was angiographic obliteration post-treatment and at follow-up.
