Diagnosis and treatment of epiploic appendagitis in a Middle Eastern country: An observational retrospective analysis of 156 cases.

Background: Epiploic appendagitis (EPA) is an uncommon emergency surgical condition that causes acute abdominal pain, rendering a list of differential diagnoses. Therefore, careful examination and imaging tools are required. EPA is a self-limiting condition that can be resolved in 1-2 weeks and rarely needs surgical intervention.

Patterns of horse and camel- related injuries: A descriptive analysis from a national trauma registry (2007-2021).

Background: The large animal-related injuries are emerging major trauma but remain underestimated public health problem worldwide. We aimed to determine the incidence, clinical characteristics, mechanisms and patterns of horse and camel-related injuries (HCRIs) in a Middle Eastern country.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of all patients who were hospitalized due to HCRIs was conducted.

An In-Depth Analysis of Medullary Strokes at a Tertiary Care Stroke Center: Incidence, Clinical and Radiological Characteristics, Etiology, Treatment, and Prognosis.

Introduction Medullary infarctions (MI) are a rare medical entity that is classified mainly as the more commonly lateral medullary infarcts (LMI) and the less common medial medullary infarcts (MMI). Lateral medullary syndrome, also known as Wallenberg syndrome, results when the medulla oblongata is affected and predominantly occurs secondary to atherosclerotic occlusion of the vertebrobasilar arteries. Previous studies have focused more on the anatomical, clinical, and topographical aspects of medullary infarcts.

To Study the Correlation of Clinical Severity and Cytokine Storm in COVID-19 Pulmonary Embolism Patients by Using Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) Qanadli Clot Burden Scoring System.

Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a fatal form of venous thromboembolism (VTE), with an overall untreated mortality of up to 30%. Greater than 50% of patients with lower extremity proximal DVT have concurrent PE at presentation. VTE has been seen in up to one-third of patients with COVID-19 infections requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission.

Is a lateral view essential in management of hip fracture?

Introduction: Neck of femur accounts to about 86,000 cases per annum in UK. AP and lateral radiographs form an essential investigation in planning the management of these fractures. Recently it has been suggested that lateral view does not provide any additional information in majority of the cases.

Supports used for positioning of patients in hip arthroplasty: is there an infection risk?

Introduction: Infection after joint arthroplasty is a disastrous complication. Implants used in hip arthroplasty increase the risk of infection from organisms of low pathogenicity. Potential reservoirs, that have not been assessed as yet, are the supports used for patient positioning in hip arthroplasty.
