Violence Against Iraqi Doctors: A Sample from the Baghdad City.

Physicians have recently become a target of workplace-violence, with rates four times higher than other workers studied. This study aimed to investigate the enormity and nature of violence directed against Iraqi doctors as well as to determine doctors' experiences in dealing with post-violence exposure and their plans to leave country for good.

Drug-Induced IgA Vasculitis in an Adult.

A 65-year-old man developed palpable purpuric papules and plaques on his lower extremities, which quickly spread to his trunk and upper extremity after being prescribed cephalexin and doxycycline in the emergency room. Here, we define the details of a textbook-like presentation of IgA vasculitis, formerly referred to as Henoch-Schönlein purpura, in an adult.

In order to quantify the predictive value of positive margins in diagnostic biopsies of DN, we performed a review and analysis of the concordance between the histological findings of biopsies and their subsequent excisions.
