    Abstract Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is a rare disease seen predominantly in men of Asian origin. It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with acute onset of weakness, and it is reversible after the correction of serum potassium. TPP can rarely be the initial presentation of Graves' disease.

    Abstract Key clinical message: In low- and middle-income countries, protein-losing enteropathy is a diagnosis of exclusion. SLE should be on the list of differential diagnoses of protein-losing enteropathy, especially if the patient had a long history of GI symptoms and ascites.
    Abstract: Protein-losing enteropathy can rarely be the initial presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Protein-losing enteropathy is a diagnosis of exclusion in low- and middle-income countries. Protein-losing enteropathy in SLE should be in the list of differential diagnosis of unexplained ascites, especially if patient had long history of gastrointestinal symptoms. We present a case of 33 years old male with long standing gastrointestinal symptoms and diarrhea attributed previously to irritable bowel syndrome. Presented with progressive abdominal distension, and diagnosed with ascites. Workup for him showed leucopenia, thrombocytopenia, hypoalbumenemia, elevated inflammatory markers (ESR 30, CRP 6.6), high cholesterol level (306 mg/dL), normal renal profile and normal urine analysis. Ascitic tab pale yellow with SAAG 0.9 and positive for adenosine deaminase (66 u/L) sugesstive for tuberculous peritonitis although quantitative PCR and geneXpert for MBT was negative. Antituberculous treatment was started and his condition deteriorated, immediately antituberculous was withdrawal. Further tests revealed positive serology for ANA (1:320 speckled pattern) with positive anti-RNP/Sm, positive anti-Sm antibodies. Complements level were normal. He started immunosuppressive therapy (prednisolone 10 mg/day, hydroxychloroquine 400 mg/day, azathioprine 100 mg/day). In addition, his condition is improved Diagnosis was made as SLE with Protein-losing enteropathy based on hypoalbumenemia (with exclusion of renal loss of protein), ascites, hypercholesrtolemia and exclusions of other mimics as explained later. As well as positive response to immunosuppressive medications. Our patient diagnosed clinically as SLE with protein-losing enteropathy. Protein-losing enteropathy in SLE is challenging in diagnosis because of its rarity as well as limitations in its diagnostic tests.

    Abstract Background: Since December 2019, (COVID-19) has had a significant impact on global health systems. Because little is known about the clinical characteristics and risk factors connected with COVID-19 severity in Sudanese patients, it is vital to summarize the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 patients and to investigate the risk factors linked to COVID-19 severity.
    Objectives: We aimed to assess the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 patients and look into risk factors associated with COVID-19 severity.
    Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study that took place in two Isolation Centers in Wad Medani, Gezira State, Sudan. Four hundred and eighteen patients were included between May 2020 and May 2021. All COVID-19 patients over the age of 18 who were proven COVID-19 positive by nucleic acid testing or had characteristics suggestive of COVID-19 on a chest CT scan and had a complete medical record in the study period were included.
    Results: The participants in this study were 418 confirmed COVID-19 cases with a median age of 66.313 years. There were 279 men (66.7%) among the patients. The most prevalent comorbidities were hypertension (n = 195; 46.7%) and diabetes (n = 187; 44.7%). Fever (n = 303; 72.5%), cough (n = 278; 66.5%), and dyspnea (n = 256; 61.2%) were the most prevalent symptoms at the onset of COVID-19. The overall mortality rate (n = 148) was 35.4%. Patients with severe illness had a mortality rate of 42.3% (n = 118). Older age, anemia, neutrophilia, and lymphocytopenia, as well as higher glucose, HbA1c, and creatinine levels, were all linked to severe COVID-19, according to the chi-square test and analysis of variance analysis.
    Conclusion: Sixteen variables were found to be associated with COVID-19 severity. These patients are more prone to go through a serious infection and as a result have a greater death rate than those who do not have these characteristics.

    Abstract Background: Ward rounds are a cornerstone in the educational experience of junior doctors and an essential part of teaching patient care. Here, we aimed to assess the doctors' perception of ward rounds as an educational opportunity and to identify the obstacles faced in conducting a proper ward round in Sudanese hospitals.
    Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted from the 15
    Results: A total of 2,011 doctors participated in this study (882 house officers, 697 medical officers, and 432 registrars). The participants were aged 26.9 ± 3.2 years, and females constituted about 60% of the sample. An average of 3.1 ± 6.8 ward rounds were conducted per week in our hospitals, with 11.1 ± 20.3 h spent on ward rounds per week. Most doctors agreed that ward rounds are suitable for teaching patient management (91.3%) and diagnostic investigations (89.1%). Almost all the doctors agreed that being interested in teaching (95.1%) and communicating appropriately with the patients (94.7%) make a good teacher in ward rounds. Furthermore, nearly all the doctors agreed that being interested in learning (94.3%) and communicating appropriately with the teacher (94.5%) make a good student on ward rounds. About 92.8% of the doctors stated that the quality of ward rounds could be improved. The most frequently reported obstacles faced during ward rounds were the noise (70%) and lack of privacy (77%) in the ward environment.
    Conclusion: Ward rounds have a special value in teaching patient diagnosis and management. Being interested in teaching/learning and having good communication skills were the two major criteria that make a good teacher/learner. Unfortunately, ward rounds are faced with obstacles related to the ward environment. It is mandatory to ensure the quality of both ward rounds' teaching and environment to optimize the educational value and subsequently improve patient care practice.

    Abstract Background: Since December 2019, an outbreak of severe respiratory infection (COVID-19) emerged in the city of Wuhan in China. The knowledge, awareness and practice of medical students toward COVID-19 pandemic is of most importance as it demonstrates their preparedness to deal with this pandemic. The objective of this study is to assess the knowledge, awareness and practice of medical students in Sudan universities about COVID 19.
    Methodogy: This is a cross-sectional study conducted on 19 universities that have medical schools in Sudan. Data from at least 100 medical students from each university were included in the study. Data were collected using an online questionnaire in April 2020. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Science software, version 25.
    Results: About 2603 medical students from 19 universities were included. Overall good knowledge and practice were demonstrated by the medical students (88.9%) and (78.6%), respectively. Respondents who answered that the most common clinical symptoms of COVID-19 were the main combination of dry cough, fatigue and fever were (27.7%), and the first initial symptom was headache were (48.3%.). (60.2%) Wear medical masks, (95%) said that avoiding crowded places protects against the spread of COVID-19, and (50.7%) have confidence that Sudan can win the battle against the COVID-19. Finally, (68.8%) agreed that COVID-19 will finally be successfully controlled.
    Conclusion: This study has found that medical students in Sudan demonstrated good knowledge and good practice toward Covid19.
