This risk seems to be present despite no known underlying thrombophilia and even adequate anticoagulation does not diminish its risk. Whilst pulmonary embolism may seem to be the most common thrombotic complication, others may also occur. A vaccination link to thrombotic events in COVID-19 has not been studied to the best of our knowledge. Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study we determined the incidence of total thrombotic events, individual Venous Thromboembolisms (VTE) and Arterial Thromboembolisms (ATE) that occurred in patients requiring ICU admission for COVID-19 in one of Bahrain’s main COVID ICU facilities for a period of 6 months. We also aim to determine mortality rate in this group of patients, links with specific baseline characteristics, laboratory parameters and patient vaccination status. Results: We studied 1597 patients over 6 months, 6% of patients were found to have VTE or ATE with a cumulative incidence of 6.5% thrombotic events. Elevated D dimer >1 was associated with an increased risk of thrombosis and an increased risk of mortality. There was a higher risk of thrombotic events in unvaccinated individuals. All-cause mortality in COVID-19 patients complicated with thrombosis and mortality solely secondary to thrombotic event were both significantly higher in unvaccinated individuals. Conclusions: Based on the findings of this study, unvaccinated individuals are at significantly higher risk of developing thrombotic events. This will assist in enabling physicians to lower their threshold of diagnosing such events. The urgency of lab parameters the swift management of other risk factors and the importance of vaccination against COVID-19 can be further studied.","PeriodicalId":85027,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Bahrain Medical Society = Majallat Jam'iyat al-Atibba' al-Bahrayniyah","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69074962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several studies have attempted to evaluate the relationship between SSRI use and congenital heart defects in neonates, but they were inconclusive. In this report, a case where maternal SSRI intake during two consecutive pregnancies was associated with neonatal pulmonary valve stenosis, raising the possibility of a correlation between the usage of a certain SSRI, and a particular congenital heart defect has been described.

Several biopsy researches reveal that acute tubular injury, as well as glomerular nephropathy were common histological findings. However, to our knowledge, there is limited data regarding de novo diagnosis of IgA vasculitis in an adult following a COVID-19 infection. Case presentation: In the present case report, we document a 24-year-old Bahraini woman with new onset hypertension, microhematuria, proteinuria and decreased renal function after she recovered from COVID-19 infection. Renal biopsy after COVID-19 infection was performed and revealed IgA nephropathy without any evidence of COVID-19 infection. After a regimen of immunosuppression and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor therapy, the patient recovered and remained stable upon follow-up. Conclusions: When dealing with patient with COVID-19 infection and kidney involvement, it is vital to evaluate the underlying glomerular disease aggravation as well as virus-induced consequences. A kidney biopsy may be necessary to roll out rapidly progressive glomerular disease (RPGN).","PeriodicalId":85027,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Bahrain Medical Society = Majallat Jam'iyat al-Atibba' al-Bahrayniyah","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69075156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hyperglycemia causes small vessel diseases and thus affects the retina, kidneys, and nerves. An effect of diabetes that is not entirely understood is cognitive dysfunction. Methods: This case-control study aimed to study the cognitive function of the participants, which included 25 diabetics and 72 without diabetes as per the inclusion exclusion criteria. Participants underwent assessment of cognition by 3MS exam, and personal data was collected. 23 participants were excluded by the exclusion criteria. Age, gender, comorbidities, education, and HbA1C were correlated with the scores. The data were analyzed by Excel version 2013. Results: The group with diabetes showed a significant decrease in 3MS scores in comparison to the control group (90.11 ± 0.75 in controls versus 86.27 ± 1.24 in patients with diabetes, p < 0.05). People with diabetes of higher age groups scored significantly lower than the control of higher age groups (p<0.05). There was a significant relationship between cognitive scores and dyslipidemia in patients with diabetes and control samples (87 ±2.03 in patients with diabetes group with dyslipidemia versus 92.50 ± 2.09 in the control group with dyslipidemia, p< 0.05). Undergraduate controls scored higher than patients with diabetes undergraduates, p < 0.05. The correlation with gender as well as HbA1c was not significant (p>0.05). Conclusion: It has been established that diabetes decreases cognitive function. It is important to highlight the importance of testing cognitive function routinely in patients with diabetes to prevent further complications by early detection and management.

This service includes assessing growth and development parameters, which includes measuring hemoglobin levels, conducting vision examinations, and administering Purified Protein Derivative (PPD) tests. Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of anemia, reduced visual acuity, and positive PPD tests, in children’s preschool screening. Methodology: This survey was conducted in 25 primary healthcare centers, between the period of January to March 2020, with a total sample size of 2,637 children. Electronic preschool screening visit sheets, of children who attended the health centers for screening, were reviewed and evaluated. Results: Out of the 2,637 records reviewed; anemia, reduced visual acuity, and positive PPD tests, were found in 19.9%, 4.7%, and 0.45% of children, respectively. Conclusion: The overall prevalence of reduced visual acuity and positive PPD tests was low. On the other hand, although the overall prevalence of anemia was also low, at about 20%, this can be reduced further by raising physicians’ adherence to anemia management guidelines, at earlier ages. Moreover, further studies are needed to assess the causes and risks of anemia in this age group.","PeriodicalId":85027,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Bahrain Medical Society = Majallat Jam'iyat al-Atibba' al-Bahrayniyah","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69074784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
