    Abstract Pyelonephritis post-renal transplantation is common and in up to 50% of cases can be asymptomatic. Transplant pyelonephritis shares a lot of histopathological features with acute cellular rejection. We present a case of asymptomatic acute graft pyelonephritis where a renal biopsy was complicated by sepsis, and discuss the difficulties in interpretation of renal histology in the setting of transplant pyelonephritis where rejection may also be a possibility, but differentiation is challenging.

    Abstract Purpose: The primary goal of this study is to analyze the reasons why refractive surgery was not performed for candidates who requested the procedure among single eye-clinic visitors in Saudi Arabia. Secondarily, we aimed to determine the corneal parameters that are characteristic of Saudi population and to figure out the relationship between the magnitude of central corneal thickness and the degree of myopia.
    Methods: A retrospective data was collected for all patients who presented to a single-surgeon eye clinic at King Abdul Aziz Medical City-National Guard, Saudi Arabia, seeking refractive surgery between January 2010 and December 2015.
    Results: Unstable refraction (21.78%) followed by amblyopia with unrealistic expectations (18.75%) and high myopia (15.62%) were the most common reasons not to proceed with refractive surgery in the included sample. The mean central corneal thickness for all patients included in this study was (538 μm ± 32.6). We found no significant relationship between central corneal thickness and the degree of myopia OD [rs(178) = -0.017,
    Conclusion: Unstable refraction followed by amblyopia with unrealistic expectations and high myopia were the leading causes not to perform refractive surgery in this study. No significant relationship can be figured out between central corneal thickness and the degree of myopia.

    Abstract Background: Neonatal screening programs for congenital hypothyroidism (CH) are now widespread in developed countries.
    Aim: Cord blood thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) was evaluated for the incidence of CH in Bahrain Defense Force hospital.
    Methods: Those neonates with cord blood TSH values >25 mU/l were recalled. Permanent CH was reported when the levels of TSH and free T4 (fT4) venous blood samples were > or =15 mUl and <12 pmol/l, respectively, with abnormal thyroid scan.
    Results: Of 714 recalled newborns, 23 (10 males and 13 females) were diagnosed with transient TSH elevation with an estimated incidence of 1:774 births and 6 (3 males and 3 females) were diagnosed with permanent CH with an overall estimated incidence of 1:2,967 births.
    Conclusions: High incidence rates for CH reported in this hospital-based study suggest the need for a national screening program for this congenital endocrine disorder in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

    Abstract Background: Dengue is a prevalent arboviral disease and the development of insecticide resistance among its vectors impedes endeavors to control it. Coffee is drunk by millions of people daily worldwide, which is associated with the discarding of large amounts of waste. Coffee and its waste contain large amounts of chemicals many of which are highly toxic and none of which have a history of resistance in mosquitoes. Once in solution, coffee is brownish in colour, resembling leaf infusion, which is highly attractive to gravid mosquitoes. To anticipate the environmental issues related to the increasing popularity of coffee as a drink, and also to combat insecticide resistance, we explored the deterrence potentials of coffee leachates against the ovipositing and embryonic stages of the dengue vector, Aedes albopictus.
    Methods: In a series of choice, no-choice, and embryo toxicity bioassays, we examined changes in the ovipositional behaviours and larval eclosion of Ae. albopictus in response to coffee extracts at different concentrations.
    Results: Oviposition responses were extremely low when ovicups holding highly concentrated extract (HCE) of coffee were the only oviposition sites. Gravid females retained increased numbers of mature eggs until 5 days post-blood feeding. When provided an opportunity to oviposit in cups containing coffee extracts and with water, egg deposition occurred at lower rates in those containing coffee, and HCE cups were far less attractive to females than those containing water only. Females that successfully developed in a coffee environment preferentially oviposited in such cups when in competition with preferred oviposition sites (water cups), but this trait did not continue into the fourth generation. Larval eclosion occurred at lower rates among eggs that matured in a coffee environment, especially among those that were maintained on HCE-moistened substrates.
    Conclusions: The observations of the present study indicate a pronounced vulnerability of Ae. albopictus to the presence of coffee in its habitats during the early phases of its life cycle. The observations that coffee repels gravid females and inhibits larval eclosion provide novel possibilities in the search for novel oviposition deterrents and anti-larval eclosion agents against dengue vectors.

    Abstract The scientific program of the conference featured 62 oral and 84 poster presentations. Diabetes was the topic most heavily presented due to its widespread prevalence and unique features in our region. Milestones in diabetes care, diabetes education, epidemiology, updates in neonatal diabetes and hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia as well as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus were among the topics discussed by leading world-renown authorities as well as by regional experts. Diabetes technology was a particularly hot topic in the meeting featuring 2 symposia on the recent advances in artificial pancreas and regional experience with insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring systems. Experience pertinent to diabetes and fasting was elegantly presented by regional experts. The meeting also featured workshops dedicated to diabetes educators and stimulating discussions with behavioral psychologists. Growth disorders were presented in different formats of plenary, “Meet the Expert”, multicenter research study presentation, case presentations. Surveillance of growth hormone use was presented from Tunisia and Kuwait. In addition, pubertal disorders were widely covered. Speakers highlighted regional trends in precocious puberty, updates on PCOS management, adrenal disorders and novel mutations in a variety of puberty-related disorders. Exciting data regarding survivors of childhood cancer as well as updates in Turner syndrome management were brilliantly presented. A session of particular interest tackled disorders of sexual differentiation (DSDs), starting with an overview of medical approach to DSDs, followed by an animated presentation and discussion of religion point of view regarding DSDs as well as a valuable psychological approach to youth with DSDs and their families. Last but not least, a highly informative session was held on bone disorders and vitamin D status in the region.
