Pyogenic sacroiliitis in Qatar.

We describe our experience in handling six cases of pyogenic sacroiliitis. Two were males and four were females with a mean age of 24.9 years. None had a history of i.v. drug abuse. Blood cultures were positive in half of the patients. The sacroiliac joint aspirate was positive in one additional patient. Staphylococcus aureus was recovered from three of four culture positive cases. Bone and CT scans revealed abnormalities in all patients. Response to antibiotic therapy was satisfactory in all except one patient who had an early relapse. Early diagnoses and proper treatment would result in improved outcomes.

Management of fracture of the penis in Qatar.

We present 21 patients with fracture of the penis treated between July 1982 and July 1990. Eighteen patients were treated surgically, with good functional and morphological recovery; 3 refused surgery, 1 of whom had penile deformity and pain on erection. The literature is reviewed with respect to the necessity of different diagnostic and therapeutic options.

Transcultural aspects of psychiatric patients in Qatar.

The illness behaviour of Qatari psychiatric patients is defined by the nature of their symptomatology. The importance of somatic symptoms in determining the patient role and patient-doctor relationship is discussed in the light of cultural characteristics of the Qatari community. Delusory cultural beliefs related to possession, sorcery and envy provide a conceptual framework for explanation of many disorders. Inter-generational conflict is an important factor in neurotic disorders. Failure to report symptoms in an abstract fashion is characteristic of qatari patients. The cultural and religious heritage absorbs many behaviours which would otherwise be considered symptomatic of psychiatric disorder.

Clinical and angiographic features of patients from the Indian subcontinent treated with intravenous streptokinase for acute myocardial infarction: experience in Qatar.

The authors reviewed their experience with 245 patients who were treated with intravenous streptokinase for acute myocardial infarction at an average time of less than three hours from the onset of chest pain. Of these, 148 patients were from the Indian subcontinent (Group 1) and the remaining (Group 2) were predominantly from an Arabic background. Group 1 patients were younger and had lower serum cholesterol and fibrinogen levels than the Group 2 patients. Group 1 patients had a lower incidence of previous myocardial infarction (p = 0.0006) and antecedent angina pectoris (p = 0.017). A patency rate of 77.5% was seen in all patients studied at 5.37 +/- 2.96 days after admission and was similar in both the groups. Group 1 patients had a lesser extent of coronary artery disease (p = 0.01) manifested as a higher incidence of single-vessel disease (p = 0.06) and a lower incidence (p = 0.06) of three-vessel obstruction. The overall mortality for the initial hospitalization was 2.18% and showed no difference between the two groups. Patients from the Indian subcontinent presenting with acute myocardial infarction appear to be a unique population in that they are younger, have a somewhat lower cardiac risk profile, and have less extensive coronary artery disease than their Arabic counterparts.

Home nebulizer therapy in asthmatics in Qatar.

We reviewed charts of 50 asthmatic children who were on home nebulizer therapy for treatment of their asthma over a 1-year period. Patients served as their own controls for comparison of the asthma-related variables between periods of 6 months before and 6 months after the initiation of home nebulizer treatment. There was a 74% and 70% reduction in the emergency room visits and hospitalizations, respectively, during the period when the patients were on home nebulizer therapy. We suggest that this form of therapy, if properly used in appropriately selected asthmatic children, will reduce the need for hospital care.

Acute asthma: treatment and outcome of 2000 consecutive pediatric emergency room visits in Doha, Qatar.

The case files of 2000 asthma episodes seen in our pediatric emergency room (PER) over a 2-month period were reviewed. Patients included 1429 males and 571 females with 66.2% < 48 months old. More than 60% of patients had been symptomatic for <24 hr and 88.5% had tried inhaled beta2-agonist before coming to the PER. In the PER, 57% responded to a single salbutamol aerosol and 35.5% responded to a combination of 2-3 salbutamol, IV hydrocortisone, and aminophylline drip < or = 6 hr. Only 7.5% were admitted to the hospital. Of the admitted patients, 82% had been symptomatic for > 24 hr and 60.6% were <4 years old.
