Aim: This study aimed to describe the use of dydrogesterone in the outpatient setting in Al-Kharj. Methodology: This is a retrospective study that includes reviewing the electronic prescriptions of dydrogesterone among outpatients in a public hospital in Alkharj. Results: During the study period between January 2018 to June 2018, 48 patients received dydrogesterone. The age of 41.67% of the patients was between 20 and 29 years. Most of dydrogesterone prescriptions were written by residents (89.58%) and more than 60% of dydrogesterone prescriptions were written by emergency department (60.42%). Conclusion: The present study showed that the prescribing of dydrogesterone was uncommon in the outpatient setting. More studies are needed to explore the frequency of its prescribing in other settings and to explore the prescribing of other medications that are used for gynecological conditions.

Background: Managing complex inguinal hernia is always a challenge for surgeons. When recurrent or complex hernia is present it is mandatory to adopt an alternative and different approach for the repair of inguinal hernia to avoid any further complication and recurrence. Primary aim of this study is to assess the usefulness of Stoppa procedure in current situation for treatment of bilateral, complex and recurrent hernias.Methods: A prospective and retrospective study of Stoppa procedure (giant prosthetic reinforcement of visceral sac [GPRVS]) for recurrent, complex and bilateral inguinal hernias was conducted in Department of General Surgery Hamidia Hospital from January 2016 to October 2017 , 30 patients with 27 bilateral and 3 unilateral hernias making total 57 hernial sites including five recurrent hernias (after Lichtenstein repair) were operated by GPRVS for bilateral, recurrent and complex inguinal hernias, were included in study.Results: Four complications were seen. One patient developed seroma which resolved spontaneously, one patient developed superficial wound infection. One patient developed right testicular pain which was relieved after medication. One patient developed pain in groin and right thigh which was present preoperatively also but increased after surgery and was relieved on medication. Risk for recurrence present in 18 patients. No recurrence was observed.Conclusions: Because of the excellent results, ease of the procedure and low complication rate, GPRVS is an effective and good option for bilateral, complex and recurrent inguinal hernias.

AbstractObjectivesThere is no consensus on the lower and upper limits of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) deficiency and insufficiency. We determined the (25-OHD) deficiency and insufficiency cut-off values in children.MethodsThe study examined 422 children aged 0–18 years old whose simultaneous parathormone (PTH) and (25-OHD) levels were measured at the paediatric outpatient clinics of our tertiary research hospital in Istanbul from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2017. Those without chronic diseases were included in this cross-sectional retrospective study.ResultsWe found that the average serum (25-OHD) level was lower in girls. There were negative correlations between (25-OHD) and PTH and age. The level that decreased PTH below the upper level was 14.42 ng/mL and the 25(OH)D level that decreased it to the lowest limit was 26.61 ng/mL. The (25-OHD) level that caused maximum suppression of PTH was 22.5 ng/mL.ConclusionsThe vitamin (25-OHD) deficiency (lowest value) and insufficiency (range) cut-off should be 14–23 ng/mL for children living in Istanbul. By age subgroup, the vitamin (25-OHD) deficiency and insufficiency cut-off values are 21–31, 15–21 and 13–18 ng/mL for those 0–2, 3–6 and 7–18 years, respectively.
