Neurological Presentations of COVID-19: Characteristic Features in a Case Series of Hospitalized Patients from Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Background: COVID-19 patients can present with neurological manifestations in the form of headache, dizziness, hyposmia, myalgia, peripheral neuropathy, acute cerebrovascular disease, and encephalopathy. Neurological involvement could be due to virus-induced brain hypoxia, brain infection, or immune reaction. We aim to describe the neurological presentation of COVID-19 patients and study their neuroimaging findings and disease outcome.

Successful ACL reconstruction with a variant of the pes anserinus.

An anatomical variant of the pes anserinus encountered during anterior cruciate ligament reconstructive surgery which has not been previously described is discussed. During routine harvesting, the sartorius fascia was incised and the semitendinosus and gracilis tendons were identified. At the distal portion, it was noted that each tendon gave off an additional tendinous slip.

Bilateral undisplaced insufficiency neck of femur fractures associated with short-term steroid use: a case report.

Introduction: We present an interesting and unusual case of a 61-year-old woman with bilateral, undisplaced, stress neck of femur fractures associated with short-term steroid use. Insufficiency fractures of the neck of femur without preceding trauma have been described in the literature, although bilateral involvement is infrequent. These fractures have been associated with strenuous exercise, seizures, renal osteodystrophy, fluoride treatment, long-term corticosteroid use, amenorrhoea, abnormal anatomy and osteomalacia due to nutritional and/or hormonal factors.

Acute isolated acetabular fracture following a game of squash: a case report.

Although hip injuries do not account a large amount of the Sports Physician's workload they can result in significant morbidity. We present a case where an acetabular fracture was sustained in a relatively young female while playing squash without any history of fall or injury but was treated successfully non-operatively. Such patients who present with acute hip pain must not be dismissed as simply having a soft tissue injury.

Successful removal of a telephone cable, a foreign body through the urethra into the bladder: a case report.

The variety of foreign bodies inserted into or externally attached to the genitourinary tract defies imagination and includes all types of objects. The frequency of such cases renders these an important addition to the diseases of the genitourinary organs. The most common motive associated with the insertion of foreign bodies into the genitourinary tract is sexual or erotic in nature.

A prospective randomized double-blind trial of the use of intrathecal fentanyl in patients undergoing lumbar spinal surgery.

Study Design: A randomized, double-blind controlled study.

Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of intrathecal fentanyl in the relief of postoperative pain in patients undergoing lumbar spinal surgery.

Summary Of Background Data: Fentanyl has been used as a spinal analgesic in surgery and obstetrics with several studies promoting its efficacy and safety.
