Article Type: Clinical Case | Indexed Archive: Volume 12

We describe a 64-year-old woman with hypertension and gastroesophageal reflux disease who presented with fever, chills, and abdominal discomfort. Evaluation revealed an obstructive right-sided ureteral stone with sepsis due to Escherichia coli bacteremia. Urological intervention with cystoscopy and ureteral stent placement was performed. The case was further complicated by hypercalcemia secondary to primary hyperparathyroidism, likely contributing to recurrent nephrolithiasis, and sepsis-associa...

The prognosis of cancer is highly dependent on its stage at diagnosis, with early diagnosis strongly correlating with better treatment outcomes. The incidence of discovering cancer during pregnancy has steadily increased over the years, with 1/2000 cases reported in the 1960s to 1/1000 cases currently reported.1 However, these diagnoses are primarily driven by patients experiencing symptoms that prompt their healthcare team to investigate the possibility of cancer. Incidental findings of cancer ...

Suad M. Jatal, Sawsan J. Harfouch and Rim M. Harfouch

Article Type: Case Report | Indexed Archive: Volume 12

Thalassemia is among the most common inherited hemoglobin disorders worldwide, caused by mutations that impair the production of alpha or beta globin chains, resulting in chronic hemolytic anemia and significant morbidity. Advances in supportive care, such as regular blood transfusions and iron chelation therapy, have dramatically improved survival, yet iron overload, cardiac failure, endocrine dysfunction, and infections remain major complications. This review summarizes the current understandi...
