    Abstract Appendicitis is a well-known and highly common surgical emergency disease, yet it presents with a wide variety of manifestations. This is a case report of a 47-year-old female who presented with a complaint of having constant crampy right lower abdominal pain for two weeks. The patient reported having a sudden onset of symptoms that went with the typical picture of acute appendicitis that occurred two weeks ago. Our pre-op workup was inconclusive; therefore, we planned to go for a diagnostic laparoscopy, where surprisingly, the appendix was long, inflamed, and attached to the posterior wall of the cecum. Thus, a ring-like structure was developed, in which 8 to 10 cm of the terminal ileum (the last part of the small bowel) was going through and causing an internal hernia. Although blood and radiology workups provide valuable assistance in diagnosing common cases, a highly suspicious sense and skillful surgeons with good clinical experience play a major role in managing such rare presentations.

    Abstract Background: In COVID-19 patients undetected co-infections may have severe clinical implications associated with prolonged hospitalization, ICU admission, and mortality. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the impact of viral coinfections on the outcomes of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in a large tertiary Saudi Arabian Hospital.
    Methods: A total of 178 adult patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 who were hospitalized at the Armed Forces Hospital Southern Region (AFHSR), Saudi Arabia, from March 1
    Results: 12/178 (7%) of enrolled COVID-19 patients had viral coinfections. 82/178 (46%) of patients were males. 58% of patients had comorbidities. During the study period, 4/12 (33%) and 21/166 (13%) cases and control patients died, p=0.047, respectively. Duration of hospitalization was the only significant independent factor associated with SARS-CoV-2 coinfections, OR 1.140, 95% CI 1.020-1.274, p=0.021.
    Conclusions: The findings of this study from a large tertiary Saudi Arabian Center revealed a prevalence of 7% for SARS-CoV-2 viral coinfections. SARS-CoV-2 coinfected patients had a significantly prolonged duration of hospitalization and higher mortality than those with SARS-CoV-2 alone. Future studies are needed.

    Abstract Background: The International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infections Consortium (ISARIC) 4C mortality score has been used before as a valuable tool for predicting mortality in COVID-19 patients. We aimed to address the utility of the 4C score in a well-defined Saudi population with COVID-19 admitted to a large tertiary referral hospital in Saudi Arabia.
    Methods: A retrospective study was conducted that included all adults COVID
    Results: A total of 1,853 patients were enrolled. The ROC curve of the 4C score had an area under the curve of 0.73 (95% CI: 0.702-0.758), p<0.001. The sensitivity and specificity with scores >8 were 80% and 58%, respectively, the positive and negative predictive values were 28% and 93%, respectively. Three hundred and sixteen (17.1%), 638 (34.4%), 814 (43.9%), and 85 (4.6%) patients had low, intermediate, high, and very high values, respectively. There were significant differences between survivors and non-survivors with regard to all variables used in the calculation of the 4C score. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that all components of the 4C score, except gender and O
    Conclusions: Our data support previous international and Saudi studies that the 4C mortality score is a reliable tool with good sensitivity and specificity in the mortality prediction of COVID-19 patients. All components of the 4C score, except gender and O

    Abstract Background Fever is one of the most common pediatric conditions usually managed by parents and the cause of nearly all pediatrician visits. However, many parents find the management of childhood fever and febrile diseases challenging owing to a lack of understanding of the nature, effects, and therapies of fever management. Objectives This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of paracetamol and ibuprofen administration among caregivers of the pediatric age group. Design Observational cross-sectional survey. Setting Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods Data were collected between April 2018 and April 2019 using a pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire consisting of 40 questions. Sample Size Overall, 493 caregivers were interviewed. Results Paracetamol was reported as the most common antipyretic used by the caregivers (54%) to control fever. Ibuprofen was the least preferred drug (18.5%). The majority of the participants (51.7%) admitted administering antipyretics at a body temperature of 38-38.5°C. A total of 90.7% of the participants measured children's temperature using a thermometer before administering antipyretics. Dosage was determined according to each child's age (40.4%), weight (32%), or illness severity (27.6%). However, 36.7% and 51.5% of the participants were unsure of the correct dosage of paracetamol and ibuprofen, respectively. Regarding the maximum frequency of paracetamol use, only 3.7% of the participants answered correctly. Most parents (70.4%) believed that a paracetamol/ibuprofen prescription was not necessary. Overall, 97% of the sample demonstrated inadequate knowledge about antipyretic administration. Conclusions Most caregivers had inadequate knowledge regarding factors that influence paracetamol and ibuprofen dosage and frequency of administration. This low level of knowledge increases the risk of improper drug intake, which can result in serious side effects, thereby indicating the need for the development of educational route programs to provide parents with appropriate education and information on fever and fever management.
