Introduction: QT interval represents the ventricular depolarization and repolarization. Its accurate measurement is critical since prolonged QT can lead to sudden cardiac death. QT is affected by heart rate and is corrected to QTc via several formulae. QTc is commonly calculated on the ECG and not the 24-hour Holter. Methods: 100 patients presentin...

Purpose: Junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) is an uncommon form of arrhythmia that occurs after surgical correction of congenital heart defects. Data on neonates and infants are rare. This study highlights the epidemiology, incidence, and management of neonates and infants with JET at a tertiary care center in Lebanon. Methods: We conducted a ret...
Background Limited data about arrhythmias in neonates and infants are coming out from the Middle East. Objectives To evaluate different types of arrhythmias in neonates and infants at the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC), a tertiary care center in Lebanon, with the focus on the nature of arrhythmia, treatment modalities and rela...
Introduction
Port-a-Cath or chemoport provides prolonged central venous access for cancer patients requiring prolonged chemotherapy. Prolonged use of chemoport is associated with many complications. Dislodgement and migration of chemoport catheter is a rare and reportable complication with potentially serious consequences.

The medical char...
Purpose: To examine the effects of fatiguing isometric contractions on maximal eccentric strength and electromechanical delay (EMD) of the knee flexors in healthy young adults of different training status. Methods: Seventy-five male participants (27.7 ± 5.0 years) were enrolled in this study and allocated to three experimental groups according to t...
Purpose
To report the occurrence and the management of refractory interface haze that developed after epithelial ingrowth following small aperture inlay implantation.
Observations
A 52 year-old man with sub-clinical anterior basement membrane dystrophy (ABMD) underwent combined hyperopic laser in situ keratomileusis and KAMRA corneal inlay implant...
Background
The original non–vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC) trials in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) enrolled patients with native valve pathologies. The object of this study was to quantify the benefit–risk profiles of NOACs versus warfarin in AF patients with native valvular heart disease (VHD).
Methods and Results
Trials we...
The EMHJ was established in 1995 to provide a peer-reviewed platform for health professionals to share their research with the scientific community. The objective of this review was to examine EMR public health research trends, as reflected by EMHJ publications in 20 years (1995-2014), through secondary data analysis. Published articles were catego...

Current proposed project will deliver a major innovative contribution to sport medicine science by inspecting differences in the functional isokinetic hamstring/quadriceps muscle strength ratio, in addition to recognize knee joint muscles neuromuscular output during the functioning experimental trial in either of a fatigued and non-fatigued conditions which might to be connected with the risk of contact and non-contact knee injuries (i.e. anterior cruciate ligament Injuries, Dislocation, Posterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries, Collateral Ligament Injuries).
1. Examining the changes in the functional isokinetic hamstring/quadriceps muscle strength ratio.
2. Identifying knee joint muscles neuromuscular output during the functioning experimental trial in either of a fatigued and non-fatigued condition which might related with the danger of contact and non-contact knee injuries.
3. Investigating the effects of a fatiguing on electromechanical delay (EMD).
