Lesion Type Analysis of Hemodialysis Patients
Who Underwent Endovascular Management for
Symptomatic Central Venous Disease
Abstract: CTU an imaging model is used to investigate hematuria and can provide good details of non-urological findings. To assess the frequency of non-urological pathologies on CT Urography (CTU) and to categorize the findings in order of importance and to determine the percentage of clinically significant findings that would require immediate man...
Purpose
The aim was to compare computed tomography (CT) findings between patients with mesenteric panniculitis (MP) with and without known malignancy.
Patients and methods
We retrospectively analyzed 116 consecutive patients who were diagnosed with MP on the basis of CT findings and categorized them according to the absence (Group 1: 73 patients)...
Introduction: CTU, an imaging model, is used to investigate hematuria and can provide good details of non-urological findings.
Objectives: To assess the frequency of non-urological pathologies on CT urography (CTU) and to categorize the findings in order of importance, and to determine the percentage of clinically significant findings that would r...
Fallopian tube obstruction is a major cause of female infertility. We aimed to evaluate the factors potentially affecting pregnancy rate following fallopian tube recanalization (FTR) in infertile women with proximal fallopian tube obstruction. Data was retrospectively collected for 61 women (25, primary infertility; 36, secondary infertility) who u...
Objective: To measure the depth of acetabulum [the Centre edge (CE) angle] in adult normal Jordanian population.
Design: Descriptive Case – Series Study.
Setting: King Abdullah University hospital, Jordan University of Science and Technology, during the period May 2012 to May 2016.
Participants: Antero – posterior (AP) radiographs of (400 hips) tak...
Mycobacterium malmoense is a rare infection with increasing prevalence since its first reported cases. It is not easy to be diagnosed. The
objective of this study was to report our experience in managing this infection. A total of 24 cases were included from Jordan and United Arab
Emirates. Our finding showed that in M. malmoense thick-walled cavit...
IntroductionFallopian tube recanalisation (FTR) for proximal fallopian tube obstruction (PFTO) is considered a good treatment option for tubal infertility. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and the technical and clinical success rates of FTR using a dedicated radiographic tubal assessment set (FluoroSet®) in the angiography suite. Meth...
This cross-sectional study was carried out to examine the association between osteoporosis and specific risk factors among 384 women referred to the Radiology Department at King Abdullah University Hospital, Irbid, Jordan during the period September 2009–August 2010 for diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis. Bone mineral density measurements were...
Introduction: Osteoporosis af- fects a large number of women at older age and is a risk of fragil-
ity fracture; osteoporosis may significantly affect life expectancy and quality of life. The diagnosis of osteoporosis can be made by measuring bone mineral density (BMD). The most popular method of measuring BMD is dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. B...
Purpose:
There are conflicting data in the literature regarding the reproducibility of the gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF) measured by fatty meal cholescintigraphy (CS). We aimed to test the reproducibility of GBEF measured by fatty meal CS.
Methods:
Thirty-five subjects (25 healthy volunteers and 10 patients with chronic abdominal pain) un...
Hydatid cyst of the pancreas is rare, accounting for less than 1% of the various sites of hydatid disease, even in countries where echinococcosis is endemic. We report a case of pancreatic hydatid cyst to increase awareness for this important condition.
We describe a 33-year-old male with abdominal discomfort of one-year duration. On abdominal exam...
Idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis is a rare but increasingly recognized disorder characterized by diffuse thickening of the dura mater of unknown etiology. The inflammation usually involves the cranial or spinal dura mater, with resultant neurologic deficits. Although it is reported primarily in adults, there is one previous report describing...
The objectives of this study were to review etiologies of trauma, associated injuries, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of patients with vascular injuries in the extremities and relate factors in their treatment to the outcome of the injured extremity.
Data were collected retrospectively on 73 patients diagnosed to have upper and lower limbs art...
Traumatic false aneurysm formation involving the descending aorta is rare. This article presents a case of huge false aneurysm of the descending aorta in a 35-year-old male patient who presented six years following chest trauma with multiple rib fractures resulted from motor vehicle accident, necessitated insertion of a left sided intercostal chest...
Postcatheterization femoral artery pseudoaneurysm is a troublesome complication following percutaneous canulations of the femoral artery. Both diagnostic and therapeutic options in the management of these pseudoaneurysms have changed dramatically, with surgery being required only rarely. We aimed to perform a comprehensive review of our experience,...
Little is known about sigmoid volvulus in the Middle East despite textbooks referring to the region as part of the "volvulus belt." Our objectives were to assess the prevalence, clinical presentations, radiological findings, operative treatments, and postoperative outcomes of patients managed for sigmoid volvulus in Jordan as a model for the region...
Abstract
Objectives: To study the various options of revascularization, mainly the role of Percutaneous
Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) in the treatment of Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) and to assess the
clinical outcome.
Material and Methods: A retrospective study was performed involving 109 consecutive patients (75
men and 34 women; mean age 59 yea...
Aim. This study aimed to present our experience in the management of upper limb traumatic vascular injuries in Jordan. Methods. Data collected retrospectively on 31 consecutive patients diagnosed to have upper extremity traumatic vascular injuries at King Abdullah University Hospital, northern Jordan, between 2001 and 2006. Factors evaluated includ...
Opinion is divided on the proper use of brain scans in psychiatry. In this study, the authors reviewed CT scanning in common psychiatric conditions in a district hospital.In their study about 64 per cent of brain scans showed some abnormality. CT scanning influenced patient diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. In addition,almost 3 per cent of patien...
Brain imaging has given new insights into the structure and function of the brain in psychiatric illnesses. The conditions studied include Alzheimer's disease, Schizophrenia, depression and psychopathic disorders. Emerging technologies in the field of brain imaging have helped in the understanding of pathophysiology, aetiology, diagnosis, treatment...
