Background
There is controversial information about the sequelae of COVID-19 after recovery, or post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS). Despite the considerable number of studies on COVID-19, proportionally, there is a scarcity of literature addressing PCS, particularly the risk factors causing this syndrome. Determining the prevalence, most common manifesta...

The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a pandemic on the 11th of March 2020. Since
then, many efforts are being carried out to contain the virus. Knowledge and attitude of people should
be directed towards strict preventive practices in order to halt the spread of the virus. The aim of the
current cross-sectional study is to assess the...

Background:
Asthma is a highly prevalent condition that remains difficult to control, as its associated factors remain poorly understood. Thus, the primary aim of the present investigation was to determine the prevalence of uncontrolled asthma in hospital units in south Jordan and to evaluate the risk factors that may contribute to uncontrolled as...
Abstract Background Sensitization to inhaled allergens in children with bronchial asthma significantly affects asthma pathogenesis, severity and persistence into late childhood and adulthood. The present study determined the prevalence of sensitization to inhaled allergens in children with bronchial asthma and wheezing episodes in order to investig...

The distribution and pattern of aeroallergens are significantly different between different countries and even in the different parts of the same country. The present study aims to evaluate the most common aeroallergens among allergic rhinitis patients in the city of Al-Karak, Jordan. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Department of Otorhinol...

Objectives
This study has been conducted for the first time in Jordan to investigate safety issues relating to day-case tonsillectomies in childrens and to study the post-operative complication rate compared to tonsillectomies carried out with inpatient admission to hospital.
Materials and methods
Retrospective review of medical charts of 419 pedi...
We report a case of nitisinone-induced keratopathy in a 52-year-old male patient with Alkaptonuria (AKU) disease in Jordan. The patient presented with slight drop of left eye vision for the last four weeks, associated with a foreign body sensation in his left eye. On examination, it was found that his left eye vision was reduced to 6/12 and there w...
Alkaptonuria is a rare metabolic disease characterised by accumulative deposition of homogentisic acid in the connective tissue of the body. This results in early degeneration of tendons, cartilages, heart valves, and other tissues. The main objective of the study is to examine the possibility of the nervous system involvement in patients with alka...
Glypican-3 is an oncofetal protein found to be overexpressed in different types of tumours, such as hepatocellular carcinoma, malignant melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the lungs and testicular yolk sac tumour. Glypican-3 is currently emerging as a tumour marker and/or potential target for therapy of many cancers. However, there are limited stu...
The Purpose of this study is to assess and evaluate the adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reports submitted to the new regional Pharmacovigilance (PV) center at Alkarak Governmental Teaching Hospital in south Jordan. ADRs forms were distributed to the hospital departments. The forms were completed and collected for assessment when suspected ADR occurre...
Neuroblastoma is the most common neuroendocrine childhood tumour having a potential to metastasize to lymph nodes, bone marrow, bones and liver. All of these metastatic sites were shown to express a chemokine receptor; CXCR4. CXCR4 has been involved in the directional homing of tumour cells to metastatic sites rich in stromal cell-derived factor-1...
ABSTRACT: Glypican-3 is a heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) expressed at plasma membrane surface. Several studies demonstrated the re-expression of glypican-3 during the malignant transformation. Glypican-3 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma was suggested to be a diagnostic marker for differential diagnosis of hepatic nodules. The aim of th...
We reported a Jordanian case of Cogan’s Syndrome (CS). A 22-year old male patient presented with interstitial keratitis. The patient was treated successfully with topical steroids but over the following months, he developed vertigo, sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and generalized vasculitis. This is the first reported case of CS in Jordanian popu...
Adipose tissue is known to produce and release numerous bioactive substances, known as adipokines (such as leptin and adiponectin), which have been found to be involved in various physiological processes, including the regulation of arterial tone and they are related to cardiovascular risk factors. The objective of the present study was to determin...
To evaluate the importance and potential of Cyfra21-1 as a tumor marker (TM) for follow-up of patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer.
Cyfra21-1 serum levels of 50 patients with laryngeal and hypopharyngeal SCC were evaluated by ECLIA assay. Statistical analysis was performed using Kruskal-Wallis and Jonck...
