Lessons learned from a case of placenta previa totalis complicated by placenta accreta spectrum: Importance of timely decision-making.

Introduction And Clinical Importance: Placenta previa (PP) is characterized by abnormal placental placement in the lower uterine segment, obstructing the cervical opening. Placenta previa totalis (PPT) occurs when the placenta completely covers the internal cervical os. This condition can lead to placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), where the placenta adheres abnormally to the uterine wall, complicating separation.

Enhancing Diagnostic Accuracy Through Neuroimaging Revisions in Pediatric Pseudotumor Cerebri Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: This cross-sectional study aimed to report all neuroimaging findings suggestive of raised intracranial pressure in children with pseudotumor cerebri syndrome (PTCS), before and after re-review by two neuroradiologists.

Methods: We included 48 children aged <18 years diagnosed with PTCS between 2016 and 2021. Clinical and radiological data were obtained from their medical files.

Global developmental delay and intellectual disability in the era of genomics: Diagnosis and challenges in resource limited areas.

Aims: To report the diagnostic yield of clinical singleton whole exome sequencing (WES) performed among a group of Jordanian children presenting with global developmental delay /intellectual disability (GDD/ID), discuss the underlying identified genetic disorders and the challenges encountered.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective medical record review study included 154 children who were diagnosed with GDD/ID at our clinic at Jordan University Hospital between 2016 and 2021, and whose diagnostic work up included WES.

Results: Consanguinity among parents was reported in 94/154 (61.

Quantification of Erythema Associated With Varying Suture Materials in Facial Surgery Repair: A Randomized Prospective Study.

Background: A common concern among patients following Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is scar appearance and residual erythema. However, few studies have quantitatively compared scar erythema between different suture materials.

Objective: To quantify erythema intensity (EI) associated with use of percutaneous nylon, irradiated polyglactin-910 (IPG) and fast-absorbing gut (FG) sutures on facial sites.

Pseudotumor cerebri syndrome in children: Clinical characteristic and re-classification.

Aim: To describe the clinical characteristics of children with pseudotumor cerebri syndrome (PTCS) who were diagnosed according to the modified Dandy criteria and to reclassify them according to the newly proposed diagnostic criteria by Freidman.

Methodology: This retrospective study included the period from January 2016-to July 2021.

Results: 50 patients were included; 34 males and 16 females with a male to female ratio of 2.

A novel automated approach to rapid and precise in vivo measurement of hair morphometrics using a smartphone.

Background: Although many hair disorders can be readily diagnosed based on their clinical appearance, their progression and response to treatment are often difficult to monitor, particularly in quantitative terms. We introduce an innovative technique utilizing a smartphone and computerized image analysis to expeditiously and automatically measure and compute hair density and diameter in patients in real time.

Methods: A smartphone equipped with a dermatoscope lens wirelessly transmits trichoscopy images to a computer for image processing.

Alteration in serum levels of immunoglobulins in seriously eye-injured long-term following sulfur-mustard exposure.

Introduction: Sulfur mustard (SM) is a potent toxic agent that cause local and systemic changes in the human body such as dysregulation of the immunological system. This gas affects different organs such as lungs, skin, eyes and the gastrointestinal tract.

Methods: 128 veterans with SM-induced eye injuries were examined and compared to 31 gender- and age-matched healthy controls.

Tear and serum interleukin-8 and serum CX3CL1, CCL2 and CCL5 in sulfur mustard eye-exposed patients.

Background: The serum and tear levels of four inflammatory chemokines were evaluated in sulfur mustard (SM)-exposed with serious ocular problems.

Materials And Methods: In this study, 128 SM-exposed patients and 31 healthy control participants participated. Tear and serum levels of chemokines were assessed by ELISA method.

Serum and sputum levels of IL-17, IL-21, TNFα and mRNA expression of IL-17 in sulfur mustard lung tissue with long term pulmonary complications (28 years after sulfur mustard exposure).

Background: Iranian veterans who had exposed to Sulfur Mustard (SM) suffer from long term complications such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and bronchiolitis obliterate (BO). Th17 cells product IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-21, and IL-22. They have important roles in chronic inflammatory diseases.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cellular viability and its correlation with long-term pulmonary complications after sulfur mustard exposure.

Introduction: Sulfur mustard (SM) as a chemical warfare agent has short- and long-term complications on its victims. Complications of exposure to SM depend on the level of contamination. Long-term pulmonary complications are the most serious problems.

Quantification of Erythema Associated With Continuous Versus Interrupted Nylon Sutures in Facial Surgery Repair: A Randomized Prospective Study.

Background: Patients are often concerned about the cosmetic appearance of scars following Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), including residual erythema. However, few studies have compared the cosmetic outcomes between different suturing techniques.

Objective: To compare the erythema intensity (EI) associated with interrupted sutures (IS) and continuous sutures (CS), and the degree of its reduction over time.
