Waist circumference and altered metabolic indices are associated with increased resting pulse rate in middle-aged adults.

Metabolic indices significantly impact cardiovascular health. Research on the influence of metabolic indices on resting pulse rate in younger adults is needed. Utilizing the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) Wave 5 Public-use biological data, we performed a multiple linear regression analysis to determine the predictive factors of resting pulse rate in adults aged 32-42 years.

A perplexing case report of concomitant multiple sclerosis and myasthenia gravis.

Introduction And Importance: The co-occurrence of multiple sclerosis (MS) and myasthenia gravis (MG) within the Middle East and North African Region (MENA) has been scarcely reported in current literature. This rare case report explores the pathophysiological mechanisms and potential avenues of treatment modalities. Such insights can potentially facilitate the development of more efficacious and targeted treatment modalities and perhaps pave the way for disease prevention.

A case report of Sustained triumph: 15-year recurrence-free survival following surgical resection of a cervical chordoma in a 15-year-old girl.

Introduction And Importance: Chordoma of the cervical spine is a rare condition associated with poor long-term outcomes. This is mainly attributed to its pathological involvement of vital structures such as the cervical roots and vertebral artery (VA). Although the most appropriate management in these cases is total en bloc excision, attaining complete resection is relatively challenging due to the vicinity of the critical anatomical structures mentioned above.

Inter-Arm Blood Pressure Difference an Indicator of Coronary Artery Disease.

Introduction: Considering the scarcity of the literature on the association between inter-arms blood pressure difference (IABPD) and coronary artery disease (CAD).

Aim: We performed this study to investigate the prevalence of IABPD within the Jordanian population and to assess if it has an association with CAD.

Methods: We sampled patients visiting the cardiology clinics at the Jordan University Hospital between October, 2019 and October 2021 into two groups.

Splenic artery aneurysm rupture post-anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: Case report & literature review.

Introduction And Importance: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a regular surgical procedure for correcting spinal deformities and pain relief. There are several rare complications of ACDF, one of which is postoperative hematomas. Here, we report an unexpected case of intra-abdominal hematoma after ACDF with no prior abdominal symptoms or underlying conditions identified since admission.
