Real-world Safety and Effectiveness of Insulin Glargine 300 U/mL in Participants with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus During the Period of Ramadan in Four Countries (Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey): A Prospective Observational Study.

Aim: This non-interventional observational study aimed to describe the clinical outcomes of patients with T2DM treated with Gla-300 during the period of Ramadan.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients who decide to fast during the holy month of Ramadan face several challenges in achieving glycemic control without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. Insulin glargine-300 (Gla-300) has well-established safety and efficacy in improving glycemic control in multiple randomized clinical trials (RCTs).

Revolutionizing Treatment for Chronic Subdural Hematoma: Promising Outcomes With Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization.

Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a common condition that typically requires surgical intervention. Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) has emerged as a potential alternative treatment option, although the choice of embolization material remains a topic of debate. In this case series, we report on the outcomes of 10 patients with cSDH who underwent MMAE.

Navigating treatment options for sacral spine lymphoma: A medical journey.

Introduction And Importance: Early clinical presentations of spinal processes involving the epidural space are often vague and can mimic other spinal nerve impingements. Patients with NHLs frequently experience neurological problems due to metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC).

Case Presentation: In this case report, we present a 66-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLCBL) of the sacral spine after a recurrence of cauda equine syndrome.

Cervical Myelocystocele: A One-in-50,000 Congenital Abnormality of the Spinal Cord.

Neural tube defects are a group of birth defects that affect the development of the spinal cord and brain. Myelomeningocele is a type of neural tube defect that results in the protrusion of the spinal cord and meninges through a defect in the vertebral column. While myelomeningocele is a relatively rare condition, cervical myelomeningocele is extremely uncommon.

Assessment of the incidence and risk factors of early poststroke seizures in Lebanese patients.

Background: Early seizures have been recognized as serious complications of ischemic strokes where the data are limited among Lebanese patients. This study aimed to assess the incidence and risk factors of early seizures postischemic stroke and to determine the effect of early seizures on functional outcome among Lebanese stroke patients.

Methods: This was a retrospective observational study conducted between January 2017 and March 2020 on patients with acute ischemic strokes at two tertiary hospitals in Lebanon.

Malignant carcinoma and skin melanoma neoplasms concomitantly in the thyroid.

Malignant melanomas metastatic to the thyroid gland are uncommon. Based on microscopy and DNA methylation profile, we report a rare coexistence of neoplasms in the thyroid, presumably in our case, with relapse-free condition on adjuvant therapy.

Validation of the Arabic Version of the Parental Stressor Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (PSS: NICU).

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a highly stressful environment for parents. The Parental Stressor Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (PSS: NICU) has been validated and used in several languages aside Arabic. This study aimed at translating the scale to Arabic (A-PSS: NICU) and validating it using a cohort of parents of infants admitted to the NICU.

Fecal microbiota transplantation for severe clostridium difficile infection after left ventricular assist device implantation: a case control study and concise review on the local and regional therapies.

Background: We report herein a case of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) used for severe Clostridium difficile infection for a 65-year-old Lebanese man who underwent left ventricular assist device implantation. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case report from Lebanon and the region presenting such technique.

Case Presentation: The patient experienced diarrhea and rectal bleeding and was diagnosed of pseudomembranous colitis (PMC).

Solitary intestinal neurofibroma with no associated systemic syndromes causing intussusception: Case report and literature review.

Introduction: The isolated presence of neurofibromatous lesions in the gastrointestinal tract, with no associated systemic syndromes, is a rarely reported clinical entity.

Presentation Of Case: A 48-year-old lady, with no history of neurofibromatosis or other systemic disease, presented with small bowel obstruction secondary to an ileo-ileal intussusception induced by an isolated ileal neurofibromatous mass. The patient underwent a segmental enterectomy and after a smooth recovery, she was put on a long-term follow-up schedule.
