Role of SFGSI, microbial culture and qSOFA as predictive factors in determining the survival rate in Fournier Gangrene patient
CONCLUSION: The survival rate of FG patients can be predicted using the sensitivity and specificity of the SFGSI and qSOFA scores together. P. Aeruginosa-infected patients have the greatest mortality rate (100%) compared to the other groups.PMID:38438215 | DOI:10.15537/smj.2024.45.3.20230036 (Source: Saudi Medical Journal)

Determining the predictors associated with the difficulty of adaptation to ageing of hospitalized older adults. < em > Difficulty of older adult to aging < /em >
CONCLUSION: The findings revealed that using walking aids, being single, pain, fear of falling, and anxiety affect adaptation difficulties to aging. Anxiety was found to have an effect on all sub-dimensions of adaptation difficulty to aging. There is a need for further studies to determine the correlation between anxiety and the adaptation difficulties experienced by older adults.PMID:38438217 | DOI:10.15537/smj.2024.45.3.20230267 (Source: Saudi Medical Journal)

Comparison of the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee (IPACK) block and the genicular nerve block in primary total knee arthroplasty: A prospective randomized trial
CONCLUSION: Both GNB and IPACK blocks had a significant positive impact on postoperative pain scores within the initial 24 hours following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In comparison with IPACK, GNB had lower opioid consumption in the early postoperative period while also promoting better mobilization.PMID:38438218 | DOI:10.15537/smj.2024.45.3.20230432 (Source: Saudi Medical Journal)

Primary pancreatic lymphoma: Histopathological pattern of 8 cases
CONCLUSION: Primary pancreatic lymphoma is a very rare tumor without specific clinical, laboratory tests, or radiological findings. Abdominal pain is the most common clinical presentation. Diffuse large b-cell lymphoma is the most common pathological subtype. Primary pancreatic lymphoma should be taken into consideration when evaluating pancreatic mass to avoid unnecessary surgical resection.PMID:38438200 | DOI:10.15537/smj.2024.45.3.20230930 (Source: Saudi Medical Journal)
