Background: Outcomes of chemotherapy in adults with ALL in resource-poor countries are reportedly worse compared with outcomes in resource-rich countries. There are few comparative data on transplants in these settings.Methods: Retrospective analysis of 102 consecutive subjects > 18 years with ALL receiving an allotransplant from Jan 2007 to Sept 2022 in Jordan.Results: Median follow-up is 38 mo ([IQR] 16-80 mo). 81 subjects were men. The median age was 29 y(IQR 22-36 y). 63 were B-cell and 38, were T-cell lineage. 31 had the Ph-chromosome. 68 were in 1st and 34, ≥ 2nd histological complete remission. 97 received intensive conditioning. Donors were an HLA-identical sibling (N = 88) or an HLA-mis-matched relative (N = 14). Grafts were blood cells. Subjects received conventional GvHD prophylaxis, cyclophosphamide (N = 11) or ATG (N = 3). All subjects recovered bone marrow function with complete donor chimerism. 5-year leukemia-free survival (LFS), 58% (47, 69%) and survival, 45% (34, 56%). 45 subjects developed acute and 44, cGvHD. 3-year cumulative incidence of cGvHD was 28% (15, 42%). 5-year CIR was 32% (18, 45%) and 3-year NRM, 25% (15, 35%).Conclusion: Allotransplant outcomes in adults with ALL in Jordan, a resource-poor country, seem comparable to those reported in resource-rich countries.

Introduction: Behçet’s disease is a rare, systemic, inflammatory condition that primarily affects young adults. It is characterized by a variety of clinical manifestations. However, neurological and cardiac presentations remain uncommon and often delayed in diagnosis. This disease can lead to severe complications, such as ischemic strokes and myocarditis, highlighting the systemic and complex nature of the condition.Case presentation: A 27-year-old patient was hospitalized after experiencing an ischemic stroke and myocarditis, which revealed Behçet’s disease. He had a history of oral and cutaneous ulcers, without a prior diagnosis of Behçet. Upon admission, brain imaging confirmed an ischemic stroke, and echocardiography and cardiac MRI showed acute myocarditis. Biological tests confirmed elevated systemic inflammation, which guided the treatment plan. The initial treatment included corticosteroids, immunosuppressors (azathioprine), and cardioprotective therapy. The patient showed significant clinical improvements, although mild deficits persist.Discussion: Myocarditis in Behçet’s disease is a rare but severe manifestation resulting from inflammation of the heart walls, often associated with other systemic vascular involvement. Although less common than oral or cutaneous ulcers, myocarditis can lead to acute heart dysfunction and even heart failure if not treated promptly. It is generally caused by an excessive inflammatory response, often associated with immune system activation, which affects the coronary circulation and damages the cardiac muscle. Treatment for myocarditis in this context relies on high-dose corticosteroids to control inflammation, followed by long-term immunosuppressive medications like azathioprine. While the initial treatment often leads to a rapid improvement in cardiac function, the risk of long-term complications, such as dilated cardiomyopathy or heart failure, remains high. Close follow-up is therefore essential to prevent these complications and optimize the long-term cardiac prognosis of patients with this rare disease.Conclusion: The progression of myocarditis in Behçet’s disease can be favorable if diagnosed and treated early, with significant improvement in cardiac function achieved through the use of corticosteroids and immunosuppressive therapy. However, the long-term prognosis remains uncertain due to the risk of chronic cardiac complications, such as dilated cardiomyopathy or heart failure.

Background: Obesity is a significant health risk linked to hypertension and heart-related disorders in adolescents, impacting their future well-being . Since, the present work is to determine the body constitute including percentage of body fat correlates with cholesterol level which associate with Body Mass Index. Methods: This cross-sectional work was held in 120 college girls aged 19-23 years of Bhavan’s Tripura College of Science and Technology, Anandanagar at West Tripura. Anthropometric measurements such as standing height, body weight, sub scapular and triceps skinfolds, waist &hip circumference were collected. These records were used to calculate Body Fat Percentage (%BF) and Fat Mass (FM). Waist and Hip ratio (WHR) and Body Mass Index (BMI). FM, %BF and biochemical studies such as serum cholesterol level were also used to measures the body fat composition. Results: According to the present study, 53.33% of girls have a normal BMI, 8.83% are underweight, 31.67% are overweight, and 6.67% are obese. WHR results indicate that 54.17% of participants are classified as obese and 45.83% as non-obese. Out of 114 (95%) girls with normal cholesterol levels of 16 (13.33%) students are pre-hypertensive and 10 (8.33%) students are hypertensive. Out of 38 overweight and 8 obese students 13.34% are in pre or hypertensive. Based on WHR, 65 (54.17%) female students are obese; out of 65 obese students, 12 (10%) and 7 (5.83%) female students are pre-hypertensive and hypertensive, respectively and this value is statistically significant (p value < 0.05). Out of 55 (45.83%) no-obese students 8 (6.67%) girls are pre-hypertensive and 5 (6.67%) girls are hypertensive. According to BMI female students who are overweight or obese (5%) also have excessive blood cholesterol.Conclusion: This study expressed clear evidence of correlation in BMI, serum cholesterol level and Hypertension. These results are important for epidemiological studies to identify the cardiovascular risk in obese adults and help to solve a health problem of present Youngers in their future life. This study serves as an early health warning for female college students.

Foreign bodies of the esophagus are part of the traumatic emergencies in ENT. They are most often encountered in children, whereas in adults they occur in a particular context and are rarely overlooked.This was a 48-year-old patient from a neighboring country referred by a colleague for a history of neglected laryngeal contusion with infectious cervical fistula evolving for 2 years. Further questioning revealed a notion of accidental ingestion of dentures. The first endoscopy was of capital interest in especially in the diagnosis and management of this long-retained foreign body. The extraction under general anesthesia was done by a combined endoscopic and external approach. The postoperative course was marked by superinfection and swallowing disorders.Cervical suppurations secondary to esophageal foreign bodies are rare, especially in adults. Clinicians should consider this possibility in the face of any chronic cervical suppuration that resists treatment.
