Rivaroxaban was used through the end of DVT treatment without further reports of LCV. A female patient who developed LCV while taking apixaban for treatment of DVT was successfully transitioned to rivaroxaban therapy, leading to resolution of LCV and successful completion of DVT treatment without recurrence of LCV.A female patient who developed LCV while taking apixaban for treatment of DVT was successfully transitioned to rivaroxaban therapy, leading to resolution of LCV and successful completion of DVT treatment without recurrence of LCV.[No Abstract Available].[No Abstract Available].[No Abstract Available]. To examine the influence of emergency department (ED) waiting time estimate provision on the satisfaction of patients.Methods This was a randomized controlled trial at King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between September 2017 and May 2018. It included 18 to 70 years old Arabic-speaking acute care patients. After being divided into 2 groups, the intervention group alone was provided waiting time estimates. Both groups answered 2 questionnaires evaluating their satisfaction and illness perception before and after seeing a doctor.Results One-hundred patients were included. No significant difference found in waiting time satisfaction scores between groups (intervention (5.92/10±3.13), control (5.45/10±3.38), p=0.476). Demographics and illness perception had an insignificant impact on satisfaction. Waiting time estimate was preferred by most participants (70%).Conclusion Providing waiting time estimation did not affect satisfaction but was preferred to have in the ED by most.To examine the influence of emergency department (ED) waiting time estimate provision on the satisfaction of patients.

To present experiences of different specialties in the treatment of thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDCs) and subsequent complications in multiple centers.Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study of all cases of TGDC for a period of 11 years from 2008-2019 by different departments from 3 different centers in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, Bakhsh Hospital and International Medical Center).Results Forty-nine patients were included. The type of surgery performed plays a significant role in recurrence (p less than0.001). The Sistrunk procedure had a lower recurrence rate (0%) than simple excision (70%) and has showed a significantly long recurrence-free interval (p less than0.001). Higher recurrence rates are associated with higher postoperative complications (p=0.002). Patients who underwent pre-operative fine needle aspiration did not have any recurrence during the follow-up period.Conclusion The Sistrunk procedure is the gold standard technique with the htion did not have any recurrence during the follow-up period. learn more Conclusion The Sistrunk procedure is the gold standard technique with the highest recurrence-free interval rate. Fine needle aspiration could be recommended as a less invasive procedure to exclude malignancy.A duodenal hematoma secondary to blunt-abdominal trauma is a relatively rare condition and is usually managed conservatively. We report a case of a post-traumatic duodenal hematoma after a road trafficc accident in a 10-year-old boy, who presented with progressive vomiting 3 weeks after the accident. The case was managed using serial esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) with dilatation. Controlled radial expansion (CRE) balloon dilatation was performed 4 times over a period of 11 weeks. The patient recovered uneventfully and remained asymptomatic at the 3-month follow-up after the last endoscopic dilatation. This case highlights the applicability of EGD with CRE balloon dilatation as an alternative to surgical treatment in patients with symptomatic post-traumatic duodenal hematomas. To explore preferences of the patients attending King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in their treating physicians and to determine demographic and personal factors influencing their preferences. Through a cross sectional design, 366 patients attending KAMC were systematically selected, and were requested to a pre-designed valid questionnaire. The study conducted between November 2017 and January 2018. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences was used for statistical analysis which included independent sample t-test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered significant. The study showed that females were significantly more preferring to get information, careful examination and receiving attention. Older respondents were interested in nding out how serious is their problem and having enough time for talking about their condition. Higher income respondents focused on necessity of physician caring for their personal situation. Highly educated individualand showing interest and empathy for adult middle-aged patient. Also, to consider other preferable features based on patients' demographics and personalities. To explore implicit stereotyping among primary healthcare (PHC) physicians and to identify determinants of physicians' stereotyping of patients based on the patients' characteristics and appearance. This study followed an analytical cross-sectional design conducted between October 2019 and December 2019, and included 250 primary healthcare (PHC) physicians in Aseer Region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Data was collected usinga self-administered questionnaire, which included items concerning physicians' sociodemographic characteristics, and their attitudes toward patient characteristics and patient appearance. Prevalence of stereotyping among PHC physicians was 63.6% with respect to patient characteristics and 57.6% with respect to patient appearance. Stereotyping based on patient characteristics was higher among younger participants, females, those with bachelor's degrees, those in general practitioner positions, and those with less experience in PHC. Most PHC physicians in Aseer Region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, are liable to implicit stereotyping based on patient characteristics (namely, gender and educational level) and patient appearance (namely, clothing).
