Background: Hyperbilirubinemia is one of the presenting signs of bacterial infection in newborns, and the association of neonatal jaundice with urinary tract infection (UTI) has been particularly emphasized. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of UTI in asymptomatic jaundiced neonates younger than 4 weeks old. Method: A cross sectional survey has been conducted at Newborn Unit of Maternity & Pediatrics Hospital-Abha from January 2016 to August 2016. A total of 15 patients have been included in the study, who were diagnosed with hyperbilirubinemia due to urinary tract infection (UTI) after exclusion of unrelated criteria. Conclusion: It could be concluded that UTI should be routinely investigated in early (⩽10 days) idiopathic neonatal jaundice in which all other etiologic factors of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia are ruled out, and the presence of UTI should be considered in case of a poor phototherapy response in cases receiving phototherapy.
Background: Nasal polyposis are considered a sign or a physical finding rather than a disease resulting from a complex process that is found in some individuals, such as people suffering from chronic sinusitis, rhinitis, Kartagener's syndrome, or cystic fibrosis. Sinonasal polyps can have four distinct histological subtypes, which include eosinophilic polyp, chronic inflammatory polyp, hyperplastic polyp, and polyp with stromal atypia. Aim: In this review, we aim to study the presentation, classification and diagnosis of nasal polyps in the light of histopathological findings. Materials and methods: We conducted this review using a comprehensive search of MEDLINE, PubMed, and EMBASE, January 2001, through February 2017. The following search terms were used: nasal polyp, inflammation of nasal mucosa, chronic inflammation, histology of nasal mucosa, pathology of nasal polyps. Conclusion: Polyposis does not have histological problems and complications. However, they may be clinically disturbing. Polyps are not classified into allergic and non-allergic, and are rather stratified according to histological findings, making histological investigation crucial for diagnosis.
Surgical wound infections prompt antagonistic patient results, including delayed hospitalization and demise. Wound infection happens with every entry point, however demonstrated procedures exist to diminish the hazard of surgical injury diseases. Specifically, enhanced adherence to prove that based deterrent measures identified with fitting antimicrobial prophylaxis can diminish the rate of surgical wound infection. Various patient-related and technique related components impact the danger of surgical injury disease, and henceforth counteractive action requires a package approach, with deliberate consideration regarding numerous hazard factors, to diminish the hazard of bacterial pollution and enhance the patient's defences. Forceful surgical debridement and successful antimicrobial treatment are expected to enhance the treatment of surgical wound infections.
Background: The Primary caesarean section (CS) delivery worldwide rate is increasing due to public interest to avoid fetal complications and acceptance by most of the couple to complete their family with one or two children. This study was undertook to study selected cases of primary CSs in primigravid women, keeping the objectives to study the complications lead to cesarean section, maternal morbidity and mortality. Methods: Cross sectional survey conducted among Primigravidae in maternity & Pediatrics hospital-Abhaobstetrics & gynecology department between January 2016 and December 2016. Overall 170 cesarean section has been done out of 1167 births. Conclusion: Preeclampsia, eclampsia, placenta previa, intrauterine growth restriction, macrosomic fetus, malpresentation of the fetus, loss of fetal moment, fetal distress and labor dystocia are all indication of cesarean section. Our study revealed that cesarean section among Primigravidae still low in our area of the study.
