- ItemAssociation Between Inter-Arm Blood Pressure Difference and Chronic Kidney Disease in Type 2 Diabetic Patients(Deanship of Sceintific Research/ Al-Quds University, 2023-03-08) Raghad Sweity; Khadeeja Fanoun; Tareq Jarrar; Bayan F. Alqtishat; Mohammad Abdelhafez; Suhair EreqatBackground: The Palestinian society's rates of Diabetes Mellitus are among the highest worldwide rates. One of the common diabetes complications is diabetic chronic kidney disease. Diabetic chronic kidney disease is associated with inter-arm blood pressure difference, defined as a ⩾10mmHg difference in systolic blood pressure between the right and left arms as a predictor. Several studies have shown that inter-arm blood pressure difference is related to an increased risk of death and vascular problems in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus.
- ItemInfection-related Hospital Admission in Dialysis Patients: Relationship with Iron Status(Deanship of Scientific Research/ Al-Quds University, 2023-03-08) Ruba Salameh; Bayan F. Alqtishat; Hussein HallakBackground: Infection is a major risk factor for mortality in patients on chronic dialysis. The risk of infection in dialysis patients is attributable to many factors including the dialysis process itself, the cause of the end-stage renal disease (ESRD) that lead the patient to be on chronic dialysis, and all the other abnormal changes in the metabolic processes with their consequent changes in different minerals in serum. Iron, phosphorus, calcium, and albumin status have been linked to increased mortality in dialysis patients.
- ItemPerioperative management of a Glanzmann thrombasthenia patient undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery: A case report(Deanship of Scientific Research/ Al-Quds University, 2023-03-08) Bayan F. Alqtishat; Ruba Salameh; Hasan Hajjaj; Nizar AwwadBackground: Glanzmann thrombasthenia is a rare bleeding disorder caused by defective platelet aggregation and characterized by mucocutaneous bleeding: recurrent untriggered episodes of epistaxis and gingival bleeding. Glanzmann thrombasthenia is known for its’ clinical variability in signs and symptoms, ranging from easy bruising to fatal hemorrhages. While mild cases are managed conservatively, platelet transfusion is needed for more severe cases. This is the first case reporting a patient with Glanzmann thrombasthenia undergoing an off-pump fashion coronary artery bypass graft surgery; with minimal platelets transfusion required.
- ItemSignificance of Peri-Operative Urinary Catheterization in Neck of Femur Fractures: A Literature Review(Deanship of Scientific Research/ Al-Quds University, 2023-03-08) Ala Awad; Sewar A. Elejla; Khadeeja Fanoun; Bayan F. Alqtishat; Khaled YaghmourBackground: Neck of femur (NOF) fractures are one of the most commonly encountered fractures in orthopedics with established high morbidity and mortality. The surgical management of NOF fractures requires a thorough perioperative assessment to improve overall outcomes.
