Beyond the Norm: A Unique Case of Adult-Onset Still's Disease.

Polyserositis, characterized by inflammation of multiple serous membranes, frequently occurs secondary to infection, malignancy, or rheumatological disorders. Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is often diagnosed by exclusion, with the Yamaguchi criteria being essential for diagnosis. Disease severity is likely due to immune system changes, comorbidities, delayed diagnosis, and a higher risk of complications, necessitating more aggressive and carefully monitored treatments.

Deep Vein Thrombosis of the Left Lower Limb in a Sudanese Child with Sickle Cell Disease.

This is a case of an eleven-year-old female Sudanese child, a known Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) patient, who presented with fever, as well as left thigh and leg swelling that was associated with pain and warmness, which was diagnosed as Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) of her left lower limb. She had a previous history of admissions to the emergency room, during which she once received blood. The patient was managed by carrying out a basic routine initial laboratory investigation.

Intermediate Temperature PEFC's with Nafion 211 Membrane Electrolytes: An Experimental and Numerical Study.

This paper evaluates the performance of Nafion 211 at elevated temperatures up to 120 °C using an experimentally validated model. Increasing the fuel cell operating temperature could have many key benefits at the cell and system levels. However, current research excludes this due to issues with membrane durability.

Gram-scale synthesis of alkoxide-derived nitrogen-doped carbon foam as a support for Fe-N-C electrocatalysts.

Non-platinum group metal (non-PGM) catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are set to reduce the cost of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEFCs) by replacing platinum at the cathode. We previously developed unique nitrogen-doped carbon foams by template-free pyrolysis of alkoxide powders synthesized using a high temperature and high pressure solvothermal reaction. These were shown to be effective ORR electrocatalysts in alkaline media.

The outcomes of 80 lung transplants in a single center from Saudi Arabia.

Background: Lung transplantation has become a standard of care for a select group of patients with advanced lung diseases. Lung transplantation has undergone rapid growth in the last few years in Saudi Arabia.

Objective: Describe five years of experience with lung transplantation.

Prevalence and correlates of overweight status among Saudi school children.

Background And Objectives: There are limited data on changes in the prevalence of overweight among the Saudi school children and on associated risk factors. We compared recent prevalence data (2012) with early data (1994-98) and assessed risk factors.

Design And Setting: Data from a cross-sectional study of children in primary schools in two cities in Al-Qassim province.

Concordance of obesity classification between body mass index and percent body fat among school children in Saudi Arabia.

Background: In Saudi Arabia, where childhood obesity is a major public health issue, it is important to identify the best tool for obesity classification. Hence, we compared two field methods for their usefulness in epidemiological studies.

Methods: The sample consisted of 874 primary school (grade I-IV) children, aged 6-10 years, and was obtained through a multi-stage random sampling procedure.
