The primary outcome of this study is to compare cyclopentolate 1% and tropicamide 1% for cycloplegic refractions in pediatric populations with esotropia. This will be a prospective double-blinded randomized clinical trial (RCT), multi-center, with randomized sequencing of cycloplegic agent; each patient received one agent at one visit, and the other agent in the next visit (2 different visits ≥ 1 week apart) within 3 months.

ObjectiveMultisystem inflammatory syndrome of childhood (MIS-C) is a newly recognized entity associated with COVID-19 in children. The objective was to describe the clinical course for 74 patients diagnosed with this disease.MethodsA multicenter retrospective study including 5 major hospitals in Jordan was conducted. Data from children admitted with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection or were in close contact with confirmed cases were collected. Total of 74 patients were diagnosed with MIS-C. Clinical, laboratory, radiological and therapeutic data were collected by retrospective chart review.ResultsFever, abdominal pain, hypoxia and other manifestation occurred. Cardiac findings were less common and did not include coronary findings. Treatments were mainly Corticosteroids and IVIG. No mortality was found in this series but serious disease occurred and some patients were admitted to Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.ConclusionsThis study described the epidemiology, clinical course, management, and outcome of MIS-C cases in Jordan. The findings were consistent with what has been described from other regions globally. There was a wide spectrum in the severity of presentation. Abdominal pain was more prevalent and some children were misdiagnosed as surgical acute abdomen.

INTRODUCTIONThis study investigated the prevalence and clinical management of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and ASCVD risk in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Jordan.METHODSPACT-MEA (NCT05317845) was a non-interventional, cross-sectional, observational study of adults with T2D recruited in seven countries across the Middle East and Africa. In Jordan, assessments were conducted at ten sites, three in primary care and seven in secondary care settings.RESULTSThe Jordan cohort included 576 individuals (27.8% primary care, 72.2% secondary care settings), similarly represented by male and female patients, with a mean age of 59.7 ± 11.7 years and a median duration of diabetes of 10.0 years. The prevalence of established ASCVD (eASCVD) was 26.2% overall (95% CI: 22.8-30.0) and 21.9% and 27.9% in primary care and secondary care settings, respectively (95% CI: 16.1-28.9, 23.8-32.4), higher than that observed in the regional PACT-MEA analysis. By the European Society of Cardiology 2021 criteria, 66.0% of patients were classified as high risk and 33.3% as very high risk (which included eASCVD). Use of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors, statins, and cardioprotective antidiabetic medication was higher in secondary care settings. None of the participants achieved all guideline recommendations with respect to risk factor control, body mass index, exercise, and pharmacotherapy.CONCLUSIONSMore than one-quarter of patients with T2D in Jordan had ASCVD, and nearly all were at high/very high ASCVD risk. These findings suggest a need for multifactorial approaches to risk reduction in this population within Jordan in both primary and secondary care settings.TRIAL REGISTRATIONURL: https://www.CLINICALTRIALSgov ; Unique identifier: NCT05317845.

Article

BACKGROUNDAesthetics or cosmetics procedures are among the most commonly performed procedures. More people are getting cosmetic treatments because of social media use. The study looked into the influence of social media on cosmetic dermatology decisions in Jordan.METHODWe conducted a community-based comparative case-control study among the adult Jordanian population through an online structured questionnaire.RESULTSThe total number of participants was 2704 (1629 cases vs. 1084 controls). The mean age was 26.3 years. Females constituted 90.4% of the aesthetic procedures group and 80.6% of the non-aesthetic procedures group. Participants who underwent aesthetic procedures were likelier to use social media, report that social media helped them, and post photographs on Instagram, Snapchat, and WhatsApp more than those who did not (p < 0.001 for all). The majority of participants underwent aesthetic procedures obtained from their thoughts. The aesthetic procedure group was influenced more by Instagram (p < 0.001), Facebook (p = 0.034), and Snapchat (p < 0.001). Self-satisfaction with one's appearance was the main reason not to pursue an aesthetic procedure (58%) while repairing damage was the most common reason to undergo the procedure (76%). Acne scarring treatment (49.9%) was the most popular procedure. About 52.7% of procedures were performed by a dermatologist.CONCLUSIONSocial media directly affects people's decisions to perform aesthetic procedures. Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram showed more influencing effects on aesthetic procedures. People who have done aesthetic procedures were likelier to utilize social media, follow aesthetic dermatologists, practitioners, or social media influencers, and support aesthetic procedure advertisements. To achieve better outcomes, the rising numbers of cosmetic procedures based on social media necessitate the dermatologist or practitioner to develop a good understanding of patients' motivations to seek aesthetic dermatological procedures.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IIILevel of Evidence III, case-control study This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
