Social media platforms, including TikTok, have become influential sources of health information. However, they also present as potential sources for the spread of vaccine misinformation. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of measles-rubella (MR) vaccine-related contents on TikTok in Jordan and to analyze factors associated with vaccine...

Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis primarily affecting the genitalia, commonly characterized by pearly-white papules and plaques. Although predominantly affecting females, LS can manifest across all age groups, with a bimodal distribution observed in prepubescent girls and postmenopausal women. This case report presents an u...
Article
Objectives Oro‐dental manifestations of hyperoxaluria and dental management of affected patients are rarely reported in the literature. We describe a new oral presentation of primary hyperoxaluria (PH) and review relevant literature about oro‐dental manifestations and management of dental complications of hyperoxaluria. Methods A case report of a...

Artificial intelligence models, like ChatGPT, have the potential to revolutionize higher education when implemented properly. This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing university students’ attitudes and usage of ChatGPT in Arab countries. The survey instrument “TAME-ChatGPT” was administered to 2240 participants from Iraq, Kuwait, Egy...

Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum (PXE) is a rare genetic disorder caused by an autosomal recessive mutation in the ABCC6 gene. It manifests with distinctive clinical symptoms impacting the skin, eyes, and cardiovascular system, along with an elevated risk of cardiovascular diseases. We present a case of a 34-year-old male patient who was initially referred...

Measles remains a highly contagious and potentially severe infectious disease, necessitating high vaccine coverage. However, misinformation and measles vaccine hesitancy/resistance have posed significant challenges to achieving this goal. The COVID-19 pandemic further exacerbated these challenges, leading to a measles outbreak in Jordan in 2023. Th...

Artificial intelligence (AI)-based models hold the potential to transform higher education if adopted properly and ethically. A prime example is ChatGPT with earlier studies indicating its widespread adoption in academia and by university students. The current study aimed to identify the factors influencing the attitude towards ChatGPT and its usag...
Article
Objective: Gingival tissue regeneration is associated with several challenges. Tissue engineering regenerates the different components of the tissues, providing three major elements: living cells, appropriate scaffolds, and tissue-inducing substances. This study aimed to regenerate the gingival connective tissue in vitro, using human gingival fibr...
Article
Introduction The significance of androgen receptor (AR) expression in bladder cancer is the focus of current research. This study aimed to assess the significance of AR expression in bladder urothelial carcinoma. Methods A total of 206 cases of urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder were reviewed and immunohistochemical staining for AR was pe...

Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has emerged as a pandemic for more than 2 years. Autopsy examination is an invaluable tool to understand the pathogenesis of emerging infections and their consequent mortalities. The aim of the current study was to present the lung and heart pathological findings of COVID-19–positive autopsies performe...

Introduction: To review the malignant potential of the stump after subtotal abdominal hysterectomy. Material and methods: Thirty-three patients with stump malignancy were diagnosed and treated between January 2018 and January 2022. All patients primarily underwent subtotal hysterectomy (STH) outside our hospital due to different indications, most...

Systemic lymphohistiocytic infiltration is a rare peculiar condition that can raise the possibility of more specific entities such as autoimmune disease, drug interaction, viral or mycobacterial infection, or malignancy. A hyper-inflammatory state can ensue leading to multi-organ failure. We report the case of a 42-year-old Jordanian male with a pa...

The morphologic changes in early-stage mycosis fungoides (MF) might overlap with benign inflammatory dermatitis (BID). Previous studies have described altered expression patterns of several proteins in MF, but their diagnostic significance is uncertain. This study aims at examining the frequency of expression of CD45RO, NFkB-p105/p50, JAK3, TOX, an...

Cervical cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in women worldwide. The availability of prophylactic vaccines for high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection represents an important advancement in the prevention of cervical cancer. In Jordan, the availability of the HPV vaccination is restricted to individuals who are will...
Article
Background: Cellular neurothekeoma (CNT) is a benign mesenchymal tumor with uncertain cellular differentiation. Studies have found evidence of myofibroblastic differentiation and possible relation to dermatofibromas (DFs). As microphthalmia transcription factor (MITF) and NKI/C3 stains are routinely positive in CNT, we compared expression patterns...
Article
Introduction: Emboli retrieved from stroke patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy vastly differ in histopathologic appearance, likely reflecting varying etiologies of stroke. We investigated whether clot components correlated with clinical features and thrombectomy outcomes. Methods: Retrieved thrombi from endovascular thrombectomy in consecut...
Article
Background: Clot propagation after initial occlusion may increase target thrombus burden and its pathophysiologic basis has not been extensively studied in acute human ischemic stroke. We investigated whether clot characteristics on MRI, catheter angiography, and thrombus histopathology indicated that impaired collaterals may be associated with ext...
Article
Pilomatrixomas, also known as epithelioma calcificans, are benign tumors of hair follicle matrix cells that are often mistaken for other lesions, especially cutaneous abscesses. We report an illustrative case in which a teenage girl developed a red, swollen earlobe that required multiple care visits and interventions until definitive diagnosis and...
Article
Introduction: Postmortem regressive placental changes of stillbirth may obscure the pre-existing placental histomorphology. The objective is to find out whether the use of CD34 immunostain can increase the sensitivity of placental examination in the diagnosis of fetal vascular malperfusion (FVM). Methods: Twenty six independent clinical and 46 p...
Chapter
Biobanks are storage places for biospecimens that can be used for current and future scientific research. Biospecimens are exceptional sources of biological data that can be potentially translated from molecular and genetic information to clinically relevant treatment modalities. Examples of such biospecimens include, but are not limited to, blood,...

Introduction The specific protein composition of stroke-causing emboli is unknown. Because ischemic stroke has a varied etiology, it is possible that the composition of the thrombus from which an embolus originated will have distinctive molecular characteristics reflective of the underlying pathophysiology. We used mass spectrometry to evaluate the...
Article
Abstract: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an uncommon, low-to-intermediate grade sarcoma with several histologic variants, including pigmented (Bednar tumor), sclerosing, myxoid, atrophic, and DFSP with fibrosarcomatous changes. Two patterns of sclerosis in DFSP can be observed, a sclerotic fibroma-like pattern and a morphea/lichen sclerosus...

We report a case of multiple calcifying pseudoneoplasms of the neuraxis (MCAPNON) with associated multifocal perivascular microcalcifications and vascular calcinosis. Calcifying pseudoneoplasm of the neuraxis (CAPNON) is a very rare condition that may arise in extra-axial and occasionally, in intra-axial locations. Moreover, it is nearly always a s...

Glioblastoma is the most common malignant adult primary brain tumor and is characterized by aggressive behavior and poor median survival. We studied 82 glioblastoma (GBM) patient autopsies dating from 2002 to 2015. Sixty-four percent of cases were primary GBM. Median age and male: female ratios were consistent with the literature. Brain weight was...
