Objectives: To assess the level of awareness among obstetrical care providers about preeclampsia prevention including risk factors, good practice in aspirin prophylaxis, and to analyze the associated factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted among gynecologists and obstetricians, maternal and fetal medicine specialists, and internal or family medicine physicians working in public or private care centers whom involved in obstetric care in Saudi Arabia. An online-administered questionnaire was designed to assess familiarity of aspirin role in prevention of preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction including proper dose, timing of intake, gestational age to start and discontinuation of treatment as well as the risk factors of PE among set of 13 conditions. An awareness score was calculated and divided into two levels: adequate and inadequate familiarity and knowledge. Practice in PE prevention and attitude towards aspirin use, in addition to participants’ demographic and professional factors, were investigated and analyzed as profound factors. Results: Hundred sixty physicians were participated, 85% were obstetrician/gynecologists and 13.1 were maternal fetal medicine Specialists. Less than half of participants have adequate knowledge and awareness in aspirin role and a minority provided correct answers regarding the recommended aspiring dose, timing of intake, gestational age to start and discontinuation of treatment. However, knowledge about preeclampsia risk factors was relatively acceptable. Maternal fetal medicine specialist and physicians working in teaching hospitals were remarkably with better knowledge compared to their respective counterparts in primary and secondary centers. The existence of institutional guidelines about ASA use in pregnancy did not improve the knowledge level. Conclusion: The overall familiarity and knowledge in that regard was relatively poor, associating misconceptions about the risk factors and substantial gaps regarding the optimal timing and prescribing practice. Formal and continuous medical education curricula should be reviewed to promote good clinical practice in preeclampsia prevention as an essential dimension of maternal and fetal care.
目的评估产科护理人员对子痫前期预防的认识水平,包括风险因素、阿司匹林预防的良好做法,并分析相关因素。方法:横断面研究在沙特阿拉伯的公立或私立医疗中心从事产科护理工作的妇产科医生、母体和胎儿医学专家、内科医生或家庭医生中开展横断面研究。我们设计了一份在线发放的调查问卷,以评估对阿司匹林在预防子痫前期和胎儿生长受限方面作用的熟悉程度,包括适当剂量、摄入时机、开始和停止治疗的妊娠年龄,以及 13 种情况中发生 PE 的风险因素。计算出的认知分值分为两个等级:充分和不充分熟悉和了解。除了参与者的人口统计学和专业因素外,还对预防 PE 的实践和使用阿司匹林的态度进行了调查和分析。研究结果有 160 名医生参加了调查,其中 85% 是妇产科医生,13.1% 是孕产妇胎儿医学专家。不到一半的参与者对阿司匹林的作用有足够的了解和认识,少数人对阿司匹林的推荐剂量、服用时间、开始和停止治疗的胎龄提供了正确答案。然而,对子痫前期风险因素的了解相对较好。在教学医院工作的孕产妇和胎儿医学专家的知识水平明显高于在一级和二级中心工作的医生。关于妊娠期使用 ASA 的机构指南并没有提高相关知识水平。结论对这方面的总体熟悉程度和知识水平相对较低,这与对风险因素的误解以及最佳用药时间和处方实践方面的巨大差距有关。应重新审查正规和持续的医学教育课程,以促进子痫前期预防方面的良好临床实践,将其作为孕产妇和胎儿护理的一个重要方面。

According to "Never Events", insulin administration errors are serious preventable adverse events that should not have occurred if adequate preventive measures had been implemented. The event "insulin administration error" is on the ANSM list published in 2012. The National Health Service's (NHS) "Never Events insulin" has developed a module on insulin therapy management entitled "Preventing insulin-related medication errors". Proper use and knowledge of insulin management can prevent these events. Our study presents the results of a survey designed to assess both the knowledge of healthcare personnel and a group of diabetic patients in the Souss Massa region of Morocco. Our survey was an opportunity to re-educate our patients and review the knowledge of a group of staff interviewed, underlines the important deficit in knowledge and practice of nursing staff and insulin-treated patients, suggests that urgent intervention should be considered, particularly with young nursing staff, and also to review the therapeutic education of insulin-treated diabetics in order to improve their knowledge and better prepare them for the advent of new generations of insulin.

The coexistence of Primary Hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma (PTC) is a rare clinical occurrence. Thyroid pathology is reported in 20% to 84% of Primary Hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) cases, with malignancies identified in 2% to 20% of instances. We report a case of a 49-year-old woman referred for evaluation of left iliac wing and hip pain with elevated parathyroid hormone levels. Imaging revealed a toxic multinodular goiter with a parathyroid adenoma. The patient underwent total thyroidectomy with parathyroid adenoma excision. Subsequent histological examination unexpectedly identified a papillary thyroid microcarcinoma associated with the parathyroid adenoma. The association between PHPT and PTC is complex, influenced by shared embryological origins and genetic factors. Elevated PTH levels in PHPT may contribute to thyroid cell proliferation, and hypercalcemia is suggested to promote thyroid carcinogenesis. Molecular analyses suggest the involvement of pathways like MAPK and Wnt/β-catenin. The coexistence of PHPT and PTC highlights the necessity for thorough preoperative assessment and the ongoing need for research. While minimally invasive parathyroid surgery is favored, the risks associated with coexisting thyroid pathology should be carefully considered. Routine thyroid ultrasonography in PHPT patients is crucial to exclude nodular thyroid disease, emphasizing the role of research in guiding clinical practices. A balanced approach integrating technical advancements and thoughtful risk assessment is essential in navigating this complex clinical scenario.
原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进症(PHPT)与甲状腺乳头状癌(PTC)并存是一种罕见的临床现象。据报道,20%至84%的原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进症(PHPT)病例存在甲状腺病变,2%至20%的病例存在恶性肿瘤。我们报告了一例因左侧髂翼和髋部疼痛并伴有甲状旁腺激素水平升高而转诊的49岁女性病例。影像学检查发现患者患有毒性多结节性甲状腺肿和甲状旁腺腺瘤。患者接受了甲状腺全切除术,并切除了甲状旁腺腺瘤。随后的组织学检查意外发现了与甲状旁腺腺瘤相关的甲状腺乳头状微癌。PHPT和PTC之间的关联非常复杂,受到共同的胚胎起源和遗传因素的影响。PHPT患者PTH水平升高可能会导致甲状腺细胞增殖,而高钙血症被认为会促进甲状腺癌的发生。分子分析表明,MAPK和Wnt/β-catenin等通路参与其中。PHPT和PTC的并存凸显了进行全面术前评估的必要性和持续研究的必要性。虽然微创甲状旁腺手术受到青睐,但同时存在甲状腺病变的风险也应仔细考虑。PHPT患者的常规甲状腺超声检查对于排除结节性甲状腺疾病至关重要,这强调了研究在指导临床实践中的作用。在处理这一复杂的临床问题时,必须采取一种平衡的方法,将技术进步和周到的风险评估结合起来。

Summary: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is an infection that attacks the body's immune system. The most advanced stage of HIV infection is acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). HIV is spread through the body fluids of an infected person, including blood, breast milk, semen, and vaginal fluids. Observation: These were 2 patients who had been consulted for a transfusion during which routine screening was carried out. Faced with divergent results, the hypothesis of a serodiscordance was raised. Series of tests carried out came back sometimes Negative and sometimes positive. It was the result of the PCR which made it possible to conclude that it was negative for HIV infection. These results had an impact on the psychological state of donors and could contribute to raising questions on the quality, specificity and/or sensitivity of current tests? On the interaction of one or more viral markers of another unknown viral pathology? And on the other hand on a possible genetic predisposition of these blood donors? Conclusion: HIV is a preventable disease. Awareness campaigns and promotion of early detection are effective ways to reduce transmission.
摘要: 人体免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)是一种攻击人体免疫系统的感染。艾滋病病毒感染的晚期阶段是获得性免疫缺陷综合症(艾滋病)。HIV 通过感染者的体液传播,包括血液、母乳、精液和阴道分泌物。观察结果:这是 2 名因输血就诊的患者,在就诊期间进行了常规筛查。面对不同的结果,提出了血清不一致的假设。一系列检测结果时而阴性,时而阳性。PCR 的结果使人们得出了艾滋病毒感染呈阴性的结论。这些结果对捐献者的心理状态产生了影响,并可能促使人们对目前检测的质量、特异性和/或灵敏度提出质疑。一种或多种病毒标记物与另一种未知病毒病理的相互作用?另一方面,这些献血者是否有遗传倾向?结论:艾滋病是一种可以预防的疾病。宣传活动和促进早期检测是减少传播的有效途径。

Background & Objective: The desire for fairer skin has become a global phenomenon, with colonial remnants in South Asia being identified as contributory factors to the perception of white skin as supreme. Skin lightening products (SLPs) are commonly used to reduce melanin concentration in the skin and achieve a lighter complexion. While SLPs can be medicated for treating hyperpigmented disorders and other skin conditions, their predominant use is for brightening the skin tone. Aim: To investigate the prevalence of SLP usage among males and females in the young generation in Lahore, Pakistan, and assess their knowledge and perception of the associated risks. Additionally, the study will examine the ingredients commonly found in SLPs and their potential adverse effects. Methodology: The instrument employed for the study was self-administered Questionnaire designed by the researcher. The data collected were analyzed as descriptive and bivariate using percentages, mean and median. Result: The study found that a significant percentage of young males and females in Lahore, Pakistan, use skin-lightening products, with social media and advertisements influencing their knowledge about these products. While participants were aware of potential harm from skin-lightening creams, many could not identify the active ingredients. Study highlighted the need for more inclusive beauty standards and consumer education campaigns. The study's results contribute valuable insights into the multifaceted landscape of skin tone perceptions, skin whitening product usage, and the associated complexities. Conclusion: The findings underscore the importance of considering cultural, psychological, and health-related aspects.
背景与目的:追求白皙的皮肤已成为一种全球现象,南亚的殖民主义残余被认为是导致人们认为白皮肤至上的因素。美白产品(SLPs)通常用于降低皮肤中的黑色素浓度,使肤色更白。虽然美白产品可用于治疗色素沉着症和其他皮肤病,但其主要用途是提亮肤色。目的:调查巴基斯坦拉合尔年轻一代中男性和女性使用 SLP 的普遍程度,并评估他们对相关风险的了解和看法。此外,本研究还将考察 SLP 中常见的成分及其潜在的不良影响。研究方法:研究采用的工具是研究人员设计的自填式问卷。收集到的数据采用百分比、平均值和中位数进行描述性和二元分析。结果研究发现,巴基斯坦拉合尔有相当比例的年轻男性和女性使用美白产品,社交媒体和广告影响了他们对这些产品的了解。虽然参与者意识到美白霜的潜在危害,但许多人无法识别其有效成分。研究强调了制定更具包容性的美容标准和开展消费者教育活动的必要性。研究结果为了解肤色认知、美白产品的使用以及相关的复杂性等多方面情况提供了宝贵的见解。结论:研究结果强调了考虑文化、心理和健康相关因素的重要性。

Additionally, the study will examine the ingredients commonly found in SLPs and their potential adverse effects. Methodology: The instrument employed for the study was self-administered Questionnaire designed by the researcher. The data collected were analyzed as descriptive and bivariate using percentages, mean and median. Result: The study found that a significant percentage of young males and females in Lahore, Pakistan, use skin-lightening products, with social media and advertisements influencing their knowledge about these products. While participants were aware of potential harm from skin-lightening creams, many could not identify the active ingredients. Study highlighted the need for more inclusive beauty standards and consumer education campaigns. The study's results contribute valuable insights into the multifaceted landscape of skin tone perceptions, skin whitening product usage, and the associated complexities. Conclusion: The findings underscore the importance of considering cultural, psychological, and health-related aspects.","PeriodicalId":510088,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Medicine","volume":"78 23","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139389914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Intestinal obstruction is one of the common causes’ emergency department visits, the prompt management of which is complicated by wide array of causes. Supra-vesical hernia has been reported to be a rare surgical cause of obstruction. Early diagnosis is often difficult and therefore can it has high chances of acute & emergent presentation. Prompt recognition of symptoms and evaluation are important to prevent poor prognosis. We are presenting a case of 62-year-old, medical free, male patient presenting to emergency department with clinical picture of abdominal obstruction. Based on the clinical examination and abdominal radiography, a provisional diagnosis of small bowel obstruction was made. CT scan confirmed the diagnosis with further specifying the extent of the hernial sac reaching up to the urinary bladder. The patient was managed successfully through exploratory laparotomy with no injury to the urinary bladder.
肠梗阻是急诊科就诊的常见病因之一,其及时处理因多种原因而变得复杂。据报道,膀胱上疝是一种罕见的肠梗阻外科病因。早期诊断通常比较困难,因此急性和急诊就诊的几率很高。及时发现症状并进行评估对防止预后不良非常重要。我们在此介绍一例因腹部梗阻的临床表现而到急诊科就诊的 62 岁无病史男性患者。根据临床检查和腹部影像学检查,初步诊断为小肠梗阻。CT 扫描证实了这一诊断,并进一步明确了疝囊直达膀胱的范围。通过探查性开腹手术,患者得到了成功救治,膀胱没有受到损伤。

Liver illnesses that run in families might start childhood with cholestatic jaundice and proceed to severe hepatic dysfunction. Although congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection can initially affect the liver in otherwise healthy hosts, chronic hepatitis is rare. We present an infant with cholestatic jaudnice evolving since birth and dysmorphic facies revealing alagille syndrome, the biological tests is revealing a biological cholestasis and a CMV serology positive. The patient was treated for 3 months.
家族遗传性肝病可能会从儿童时期的胆汁淤积性黄疸发展到严重的肝功能障碍。虽然先天性巨细胞病毒(cCMV)感染最初会影响健康宿主的肝脏,但慢性肝炎却很少见。我们接诊了一名自出生起就患有胆汁淤积性黄疸的婴儿,其畸形面容显示患有阿拉吉尔综合征,生物检测显示其患有生理性胆汁淤积症,巨细胞病毒血清学检测呈阳性。患者接受了 3 个月的治疗。

Functional dyspepsia (FD), a commonly prevalent multifactorial disorder of gut-brain interaction (DGBI), is encountered and managed in family practice and gastroenterology clinics. The diagnosis is solely clinical based on Rome-IV criteria, excluding the organic, systemic, or metabolic causes. Management is often challenging ranging from lifestyle modifications, H-pylori eradication, H2-receptor antagonists, proton pump inhibitors, and prokinetics (1st-line) to antidepressants, and antipsychotics (2nd line) of therapy, once the patient shows no response to 1st line. In severe cases, refractory to 1st & the 2nd line of treatment needs a team approach and gut-brain behavioral therapy. Herein, we present a young female patient diagnosed with FD, managed well with 2nd-line treatment (Sulpiride), an atypical antipsychotic medication, as the patient's symptoms showed no improvement with first-line treatment.
功能性消化不良(FD)是一种常见的多因素肠脑交互作用紊乱(DGBI),在家庭医生和消化内科门诊中时有发生。临床诊断完全基于 Rome-IV 标准,排除了器质性、系统性或代谢性病因。治疗通常具有挑战性,从改变生活方式、根除幽门螺杆菌、H2-受体拮抗剂、质子泵抑制剂和促动力药(一线)到抗抑郁药和抗精神病药(二线),一旦患者对一线治疗无反应,就需要二线治疗。对于一线和二线治疗难治的严重病例,需要团队合作和肠-脑行为疗法。在此,我们介绍了一名被诊断为 FD 的年轻女性患者,她在接受了非典型抗精神病药物舒必利(Sulpiride)的二线治疗后,症状没有得到改善。
