61 Lemierre syndrome (LS) is a rare and life-threatening complication of oropharyngeal infections1. Its incidence ranges between 0.6 and 2.3 cases per million, and carries a mortality rate of 4% to 18%1,2. Typically, LS includes pharyngotonsillitis or peritonsillar abscess, septicemia related to anaerobic bacteria and internal jugular vein thrombosis2,3. Previous case series reported that Lemierre syndrome could also be induced by other oropharyngeal infections, such as mastoiditis or dental infection4,5.

18 The appendix is one of the human organs that attracts little attention, hence termed an ineffectual blind tube. Nonetheless, this intestinal organ at the junction between the cecum and terminal ileum, undergoes pathological changes that have a significant influence on human health1. This organ is also susceptible to conditions such as appendicitis and carcinoid tumors2. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies appendiceal tumors into epithelial, non-epithelial or secondary. Epithelial tumors include adenoma, carcinoma and carcinoid. On the other hand, non-epithelial tumors of mesenchymal origin include neuroma, lipoma, leiomyoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) and their malignant forms3. Malignant lymphoma and Kaposi’s sarcoma are also possible appendiceal growths1,3,4,5.

22 The incidence of VTE in pregnancy is ten times higher than the age-matched, non-pregnant population1-3. VTE could occur at any stage of pregnancy, but the risk is higher at the puerperium1,4. VTE continues to be a leading cause of maternal mortality5-7. Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the leading cause of maternal death in the United Kingdom, accounting for approximately 1.8 per 100,000 deliveries and 11% of maternal deaths in the United States5-9. PE is the second leading cause of maternal death in Saudi Arabia, accounting for 25% of all maternal deaths10. In Bahrain, PE is accounting for 35% of all maternal deaths in sickle cell disease (SCD) patients, as well as 21% of non-SCD11,12.

57 Foreign body aspiration in the tracheobronchial system is a pediatric emergency; if not removed on time, it could result in pulmonary complications such as pneumonia, atelectasis and could lead to an airway obstruction, which could be fatal1-4. The standard gold treatment is the removal of a foreign body using a rigid bronchoscopy performed under general anesthesia4,5. Because of the bronchoscope occupying the airway, different methods of ventilation have been considered, such as the apneic oxygenation method, controlled ventilation (closed system), manual jet ventilation and the spontaneous assisted ventilation (SAV)6.

49 Myocarditis is an inflammatory disorder of the myocardium with multiple etiologies and variable clinical presentations. The inflammation can be secondary to viral infections, autoimmune mechanisms and a reaction to certain medications and toxins. The disease itself is well recognized for its ambiguous clinical presentation, which ranges from no symptoms to unexpected death. Physicians have struggled for decades attempting to achieve early diagnosis due to the diversity of the symptomology and lack of specific diagnostic techniques1,2.
