Multisystemic Tuberculosis Masquerading as Aggressive Cardiac Tumor Causing Budd-Chiari Syndrome Disseminated to the Brain Resulting in Death of a Six-Year-Old Boy.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an ancient and re-emerging granulomatous infectious disease that continues to challenge public health. Early diagnosis and prompt effective treatment are crucial for preventing disease progression and reducing both morbidity and mortality. These steps play a vital role in infection control and in lowering death rates at both individual and population levels.

Investigating the Accuracy of Ultrasound Imaging in Measuring Fetal Weight in Comparison with the Actual Postpartum Weight.

Background: Antenatal ultrasonography measurements of the estimated fetal weight (EFW) are a critical point in the decision-making process of obstetric planning and management to preserve the safety of both the newborn and the mother. This study aims to investigate the accuracy of ultrasonography to measure the EFW in comparison with the actual birth weight (BW) measured immediately after delivery.

Methods: In this retrospective study, electronic records of 270 newborns who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were retrieved.

Mapping the future: The current landscape and future directions of evidence-based practice in Saudi radiology departments.

Purpose: To examine the current application of Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) among radiology professionals, including radiologists and radiographers, in Saudi Arabia and to identify challenges in order to propose suitable future improvement strategies if it is required.

Method: A mixed-method design was used in this study. A survey consisting of 23 questions addressing research activities and EBP within radiology departments was sent to radiology personnel.

Demographic Profiles, Etiological Spectrum, and Anatomical Locations of the Post-Hepatic Obstructive Jaundice in Adult Population in Hadhramout Region in Yemen.

Background: Obstructive jaundice is a common health challenge in daily clinical practice caused by a heterogeneous group of benign and malignant conditions in or around extrahepatic bile ducts. This study aimed to investigate the causes of obstructive jaundice, analyze the age and sex distribution, and report the locations of obstruction.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of electronic records of patients diagnosed with obstructive jaundice in the Hadhramout region in Yemen.

Assessment of vitamin D status and associated risk factors in high-altitude populations affected by multiple sclerosis: A case-control study.

Several studies have suggested a correlation between serum vitamin D (VitD) level and multiple sclerosis (MS). MS has a known latitudinal distribution pattern, with greater incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates at higher latitudes. This study aims to assess levels of VitD and serum potassium in subjects with MS and the impact of gender and age as disease risk factors.

Behçet's Syndrome With Multiple Bilateral Pulmonary Aneurysms Associated With Endomyocardial Fibrosis Presented With Pulmonary Emboli: A Case Report.

Behçet's syndrome (BS) is a rare chronic multisystemic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiopathogenesis. BS is classified as a vasculitis of variable vessel size, which can manifest in both arterial and venous blood vessels. BS commonly presents with mucocutaneous and ocular manifestations.

The impact of health volunteering of radiology students on improving their self-skills and practical capabilities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Background: Volunteering is a beneficial activity with a wide range of positive outcomes, from the individual to the communal level. In many ways, volunteering has a positive impact on the development of a volunteer's personality and experience. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of health volunteering on improving the self-skills and practical capacities of students in the western region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Assessment of the Knowledge and Practice of Infection Control among Radiographers in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Survey Study.

Unlabelled: Effective control of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) involves a collaborative effort among various healthcare stakeholders, including healthcare workers, patients, and professionals. Radiographers, as essential members of the healthcare team, play a crucial role in HAI prevention by diligently adhering to standard infection control precautions (SICP) and maintaining a high level of knowledge regarding infection control procedures. The study aimed to assess the knowledge and practice of radiographers concerning infection control in radiology departments in Saudi Arabia.

Hydatid Disease: A Radiological Pictorial Review of a Great Neoplasms Mimicker.

Hydatid cyst is a common name for the larval stage of a tapeworm species of , which is transmitted from animals to humans via the fecal-oral route. Hydatid cysts predominantly affect the liver (75%), followed by the lung (15%), and they can affect many organs in the human body. Medical imaging modalities are the keystone for the diagnosis of hydatid cysts with high sensitivity and specificity.

Risks of khat chewing on the cardiovascular, nervous, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary systems: A narrative review.

Khat is an evergreen plant and its fresh green leaves and buds are chewed for several hours a day for its psychostimulant response. This study aimed to review the effects of khat chewing on the body. PubMed was searched for literature on the different aspects of khat chewing to summarize its effects on different body systems.

The Diagnostic Deceiver: Radiological Pictorial Review of Tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection with ; it is a public health problem worldwide and one of the leading causes of mortality. Since December 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented health challenges and disrupted the TB health services, especially in high-burden countries with ever-increasing prevalence. Extrapulmonary and even pulmonary TB are an important cause of nonspecific clinical and radiological manifestations and can masquerade as any benign or malignant medical case, thus causing disastrous conditions and diagnostic dilemmas.
