Uveitis Profile in Children and Its Impact on Vision at Queen Rania Children's Hospital.

Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the patterns of pediatric uveitis and the types of ocular complications of uveitis and to determine the possible risk factors associated with visual impairment.

Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at Queen Rania Children's Hospital between June 2020 and June 2023. All children diagnosed with uveitis were enrolled in the study.

Pediatric and Adolescent Traumatic Macular Hole: A Systematic Review.

Purpose: The optimal management of pediatric traumatic macular holes (TMH) is unclear from lack of prospective randomized trials. The literature is divided into early (≤1month post-trauma), delayed (>1 month) pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), and observation. Our aim is to find which group can achieve best-superior spectacle corrected visual acuity (VA), visual gain, and time for hole closure.

Cardiovascular risk factors among Jordanian patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A cohort study.

Aim: To determine the frequency of risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Jordan.

Method: During this study, 158 patients with RA were enlisted from the outpatient rheumatology clinic at King Hussein Hospital of the Jordanian Medical Services, from 1 June 2021, to 31 December 2021. Demographic data and disease duration were recorded.

COVID-19 Vaccine-Associated Optic Neuropathy: A Systematic Review of 45 Patients.

We provide a systematic review of published cases of optic neuropathy following COVID-19 vaccination. We used Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Search terms included: “COVID-19 vaccination”, “optic neuropathy”, “optic neuritis”, and “ischemic optic neuropathy”.

Global Neuroblastoma Network: An international multidisciplinary neuroblastoma tumor board for resource-limited countries.

Background: Tumor boards are part of standard care of patients with complex cancers, but appropriate multidisciplinary expertise and infrastructure are often not available in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) for pediatric cancers, such as neuroblastoma. Our goal was to review results of a Global Neuroblastoma Network (GNN) tumor board accessible to LMIC.

Methods: De-identified clinical cases presented via internet conference during a weekly GNN virtual tumor board from 2010 through 2020 were evaluated in a standardized format, including diagnostic imaging, pathology, therapy information, resource limitations, and questions for discussion.

Occupational burnout and job satisfaction among physicians in times of COVID-19 crisis: a convergent parallel mixed-method study.

Background: Healthcare professionals including physicians were subjected to an increased workload during the COVID-19 crisis, leaving them exposed to significant physical and psychological distress. Therefore, our present study aimed to (i) assess the prevalence of burnout and levels of job satisfaction among physicians in Jordan, and (ii) explore physicians' opinions, experiences, and perceptions during the pandemic crisis.

Methods: This was a mixed-method study that utilized a structured web-based questionnaire and semi-structured individual interviews.

Quantitative assessment of FDG uptake in brown fat using standardized uptake value and dual-time-point scanning.

Objectives: Brown fat is a potential source of false-positive findings on FDG PET. The purpose of this study was to show the variability in body distribution of brown fat, the degree of FDG uptake, the changes on dual-time-point scanning, and determine if dual-time-point scanning can help in differentiating brown fat from malignant lesions.

Methods: Thirty-two patients were included in this retrospective study (14 male, 18 female, age range: 8-72 years).

Impact of dual-time-point (18)F-FDG PET imaging and partial volume correction in the assessment of solitary pulmonary nodules.

Purpose: Our aim was to assess the diagnostic potential of (18)F-FDG PET using partial volume correction and dual-time-point imaging in the assessment of solitary pulmonary nodules.

Methods: We included 265 patients in this retrospective study (171 men; 94 women; age range, 41-92 years). All had pulmonary nodules on CT, and diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy or follow-up CT.
