Comparison of laboratory biomarkers for the prediction of in-hospital mortality and severity of acute pulmonary embolism: A multi-center study
CONCLUSION: Multiple parameters have been implicated in the mortality and severity of PE. Our study revealed a statistically significant association between NLR, RDW, and PE mortality. These tests are easily accessible and may provide insights into the mortality associated with PE.PMID:37717976 | DOI:10.15537/smj.2023.44.9.20230441

Association between body mass index and hemoglobin A1c with serum prostate-specific antigen level: A retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSION: Prostate-specific antigen levels were higher in older people and those with low BMIs. No correlations were found between PSA levels and HbA1c or FBG, even after adjusting for other variables. Moreover, no correlations were found between PSA levels and other comorbidities such as dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease, and hypertension.PMID:37717968 | DOI:10.15537/smj.2023.44.9.20230384

Incidence, risk factors, and maternal outcomes of major degree placenta previa: A 10-year retrospective analysis
CONCLUSION: Major degree of PP/PAS is associated with high maternal morbidity but rare mortality. Over 30 years, our patients' obstetric characteristics did not change, including both elder age and high parity. A substantial increase in the rate of cesarean deliveries is a leading cause of major PP/PAS.PMID:37717966 | DOI:10.15537/smj.2023.44.9.20230112

Effect of platelet indices on postoperative pain and edema in bimaxillary surgery
CONCLUSION: Platelet indices, particularly PLT and PCT levels, were associated with postoperative pain and edema in patients undergoing bimaxillary surgery. These indices have the potential to serve as biomarkers for predicting and managing postoperative complications of orthognathic surgery. Further studies are required to explore the clinical utility and implications of these findings.PMID:37717965 | DOI:10.15537/smj.2023.44.9.20230291

Epidemiology of lean/non-obese nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in China: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Prevalence of NAFLD was slightly lower among the L/NO-NAFLD Chinese population than the global level but has obviously increased recently. In addition, the metabolic profile of L/NO-NAFLD patients was generally better compared to OW/O-NAFLD patients.PROSPERO Reg. No.: CRD42022327240.PMID:37717964 | DOI:10.15537/smj.2023.44.9.20230021

Wound myiasis by housefly in a patient with pemphigus vulgaris in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Saudi Med J. 2023 Sep;44(9):940-943. doi: 10.15537/smj.2023.44.9.20220938.ABSTRACTMyiasis is the infestation of live vertebrates by dipterous larvae. Cutaneous myiasis is the most common form, although many organs can be infected by these larvae. Cutaneous myiasis is divided into 3 forms: localized furuncular, migratory, and wound myiasis, which have a worldwide distribution, but tropical and subtropical countries have a heavier burden of the disease. Herein, we report a case of scalp wound myiasis in a patient with pemphigus vulgaris caused by Muscidae domestica (M. domestica) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Cases of M. domestic...

Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile: A silent nosocomial pathogen
Saudi Med J. 2023 Sep;44(9):825-835. doi: 10.15537/smj.2023.44.9.20230216.ABSTRACTClostridioides difficile (C. difficile) infection is still a threat to many healthcare settings worldwide. Clostridioides difficile epidemiology has changed over the last 20 years, largely due to the emergence of hypervirulent and antimicrobial-resistant C. difficile strains. The excessive use of antimicrobials, the absence of optimal antibiotic policies, and suboptimal infection control practices have fueled the development of this pressing health issue. The prudent use of antimicrobials, particularly broad-spectrum agents, and simple infect...
