- - The study explored the relationship between microscopic colitis (MC) and celiac disease (CD) using a large population database from 2016-2019, focusing on patient data analyzed through medical codes.
- - Out of over 26 million patients, 6,836 had MC, with a significant association to CD found in both statistical analyses, indicating that patients with MC are more likely to have CD (OR = 15.71).
- - The presence of CD in patients with MC was linked to higher in-hospital mortality, suggesting CD may act as an independent risk factor for worse outcomes in these patients, highlighting the need for further studies.
Background: Many studies have shown that open and laparoscopicsurgery for resection of colonic cancers produce similar short- and long-term results, but no data have been reported from Saudi Arabia.
Objective: Compare 3-year disease-free and overall survival after laparoscopic versus open curative resection for potentially curable colon cancer.
Design: Multicenter retrospective cohort study.
Objective: Oral cancer is the 3rd most common cause of malignancy in Saudi Arabia after lymphoma and leukemia. The high incidence of oral cancer in this region is attributed to frequent use of tobacco (Shamma). In this report we have reviewed the mode of treatment and subsequent outcome of 228 oral cancer patients at the Oral Maxillofacial Surgery Unit of the Armed Forces Hospital, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
