Squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder presented with spontaneous intraperitoneal bladder rupture: A case report.

Introduction: Spontaneous intraperitoneal bladder rupture can present with symptoms of acute abdomen. The associated high mortality rate is attributed to the delay in diagnosis, and the possibility of the presence of a bladder carcinoma contributes to high mortality as well.

Case Presentation: We present a case of spontaneous intraperitoneal bladder rupture associated with squamous cell carcinoma managed with partial cystectomy.

Frequency of genetic polymorphisms of ADAM33 and their association with allergic rhinitis among Jordanians.

Allergic rhinitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that is assumed to be due to an interaction between different genetic and/or environmental factors. A disintegrin and metalloprotease domain 33 (ADAM33) has been extensively studied as a susceptibility gene in asthma and has been linked to bronchial hyper-responsiveness. In this study, we investigated the association between ADAM33 single nucleotide polymorphisms and the incidence of allergic rhinitis among the Jordanian population.
