Laparoscopic Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass Versus One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass as Revisional Procedures after Sleeve Gastrectomy: Meta-analysis and Systematic Review.

Background: It has been observed that 5-8% of primary bariatric procedures result in inadequate treatment response, necessitating the need for revisional surgery. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aim to compare the effectiveness of single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass (SADI) and one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) in addressing weight recurrence following sleeve gastrectomy.

Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases.

Burkholderia cepacia Infective Endocarditis of Native Aortic Valve: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a serious cardiac infection of the endocardium, native and prosthetic valves, or cardiac device. In this case study, we report a case of an immunocompetent patient with severe aortic valve endocarditis. A 54-year-old female presented to the emergency department with progressive shortness of breath, chest pain, palpitations, and cough for a period of 20 days.

Absence of Right Coronary Ostium with Single Coronary Artery: A Rare Anomaly.

Coronary arteries normally originate from two separate cusps from the aorta, and various anomalies can occur. One such anomaly is the single coronary artery (SCA), where the coronary arteries originate from a single ostium due to the absence of the contralateral ostia. In a rare case we encountered while evaluating a patient with atypical chest pain, computed tomography angiography revealed that the right ostia was absent, and the right coronary artery originated from the left circumflex artery.

Mixed epithelial and stromal tumor of the kidney: A case report in elderly male patient.

Mixed epithelial and stromal tumor (MEST) is very rare neoplasm of the kidney, commonly affecting women at menopausal age. MEST is usually considered a benign tumor with low risk of local recurrence or distance metastases. Our case presents a case of a 66 years old male patient with a complex cystic lesion of the left kidney incidentally diagnosed on urinary tract computerized scan (CT) performed for other reasons.

A primary pleural hydatid cyst was discovered months after an undiagnosed pneumothorax: A diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma in a rare case report from Syria.

Introduction: Primary pleural hydatid cysts (PPHCs) are a rare clinical condition caused by the larval stage of the parasite Echinococcus granulosus. They occur in <1 % of all hydatid cysts in the body and can cause serious complications such as pneumothorax, pleural effusion, and mediastinal shift.

Presentation Of Case: We report a rare case of a 28-year-old female who was initially misdiagnosed and ignored her pneumothorax for several months, resulting in progressive dyspnea and chest pain.

Transglabellar resection of frontal sinus cholesterol granuloma extending cranially through cecum foramina: Technical note.

Background: Cholesterol granuloma (CG) commonly occurs in the petrous apex; their occurrence in the anterior cranial fossa CGs is rare. Subfrontal approaches are the conventional surgical approaches for the resection of midline lesions of the anterior cranial fossa and frontal sinuses. In this article, we describe a successful minimally invasive approach for resection of a small midline anterior cranial fossa CG.

Pulmonary artery aneurysm and hemoptysis as uncommon sequelae of COVID-19 infection: a case report from Syria.

Unlabelled: Pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) is a rare vascular disease, and it is known to be an extremely rare complication following infection with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Other etiologies of the disease are cancer, congenital heart anomalies, and vasculitis. While it is usually an asymptomatic disease, PAA can sometimes present with severe symptoms such as hemoptysis due to the rupture of the aneurysm.

A Retrospective Study of the Prognostic Patterns in Colorectal Cancer Patients.

Introduction  Colorectal cancer (CRC) management has advanced globally, leading to a steady decline in mortality rates. However, recent studies have shown that the prognosis of CRC varies based on the anatomical site of the primary tumor, histopathological grading, and type of mutation. With an increase in the incidence of CRC globally and in Bahrain, there is a need for a recent descriptive study to improve overall management.

The need of patients living with cancer for palliative care.

Background: A comprehensive assessment of patients' problems and needs is essential for all patients with chronic diseases, including cancer.

Aim: This study assesses the problems, unmet needs and requirement for palliative care (PC) among patients with cancer.

Method: A descriptive cross-sectional design was employed using a valid self-reported questionnaire.

Case report: Hydatid cyst of bone in the distal femur with untypical presentation treated surgically.

Introduction: Osseous form is a rare manifestation of hydatid cystic disease, and it is easily misdiagnosed for other musculoskeletal infections and tumor-like lesions as it presents in a solitary form with subtle and unspecific radiological features and clinical symptoms.

Case Report: Our study is a case report of a young female patient with hydatid cyst in the distal femur, who was treated successfully with surgical resection, conducted in 2021 and the case was followed up for 8 months.

Discussion: Several cases had been reported of osseous hydatidosis commonly in the axial skeleton and often diagnosed lately, stressing the importance of keeping unfamiliar diagnosis in mind when dealing with untypical lesions of bone.

COVID-19 and Semen Fluid Parameters, a Retrospective Study from Infertility Clinics.

The study of the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or vaccination on semen fluid analysis (SFA) parameters is still incomplete. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of COVID-19 infection and vaccination on sperm parameters for a sample of individuals visiting multi-infertility clinics in Jordan. SFA records were collected retrospectively between September and November 2021 and analyzed using Jamovi software (version 2.

COVID-19 infection and vaccine have no impact on in-vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome.

To investigate the effect of COVID-19 infection or vaccine on IVF outcome. This is a multicenter retrospective study. Data were collected from all patients treated in the ART units between September and November 2021 after the vaccination of the general population began.

Validation of the Arabic version of the center for epidemiologic studies depression-revised: A comparison of the CESD-R and CESDR-12.

Background: The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression-Revised (CESD-R) is a widely used tool to screen for depression in the general population. An Arabic version of the CESD-R has not yet been translated and validated. Thus, this article reports the findings of two studies that were conducted to examine the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the CESD-R.
