Abstract
Introduction and importance Around 1% of all complications associated with breast implants are attributable to infection, classified as acute, subacute, or late-onset, with late-onset infections being the rarest. Even when symptoms are not obvious, an infection may still be lingering. Sub-clinical presentations have been implicated in the pathophysiology of breast implant capsular contracture. Organisms can establish dormancy through biofilm formation, and can also be idiopathically activated, and present as a late-onset infection, as has been clearly described in the literature with the infamous Enterococcus avium. Case presentation We report the case of a 44-year-old woman who underwent bilateral augmentation mastopexy seven years ago complicated by an acute perioperative infection that was resolved with a full course of antibiotics. She presented to the clinic complaining of left breast pain and swelling accompanied by fever for four days. Ultrasonic imaging showed moderate peri-implant fluid positive for Pseudomonas aeruginosa upon aspiration. The patient therefore underwent bilateral breast exploration and capsulectomy. Clinical discussion We believe that the dormant P. aeruginosa contributed to the capsular contracture and was idiopathically activated, manifesting as a late-onset infection seven years post-augmentation mastopexy. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, no previous studies or case reports have described a late-onset infection due to idiopathic activation, where dormant P. aeruginosa is isolated from an implant capsule many years after augmentation mastopexy. More studies are required to examine the role of dormant bacteria in capsular contracture and their idiopathic activation considering the consequences on patient outcomes. Capsular contracture is the commonest complication after breast implantation. Subclinical infections are implicated in capsular contracture pathogenesis. Pseudomonas aeuroginosa may cause acute-onset and late-onset infections. Biofilm formation helps bacteria establish dormancy in infected tissues. Dormant bacteria cause capsular contracture and are idiopathically activated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex multifactorial disorder, affecting millions of women worldwide. The role of genetic polymorphisms of the KISS1 gene on the development of PCOS is still obscure. This study was designed to investigate the probable influence of KISS1 gene polymorphisms on PCOS and its associated variables: BMI, waist-hip ratio, kisspeptin, LH, FSH, and LH-FSH ratio. METHODS The study comprised 104 PCOS women and 109 controls, with age ranging from 19 to 36 years. BMI, waist-hip ratio, and circulating levels of kisspeptin, LH, and FSH were measured. DNA was extracted, and genotyping of the KISS1 gene was carried out by nucleotide sequencing. The PCOS-associated variables were analyzed in different genotypes of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the KISS1 gene. RESULTS The values of waist-hip ratio (WHR), LH, and LH-FSH ratio were significantly higher in PCOS women than controls. BMI, kisspeptin, and FSH levels exhibited no significant difference between the groups. Six novel SNPs of KISS1 gene were identified. Three: rs372790354G > A, rs12998G > A, and rs35431622A > T were investigated. Among these SNPs, the genotype and allele frequencies of rs372790354 showed significant association with PCOS (GA: p = 0.018, AA: p = 0.022, mutant allele-A: p = 0.021) and the G allele was protective. The values of LH, kisspeptin, and WHR of PCOS women were significantly influenced (p < 0.05) by the AA genotype of rs372790354. The other two SNPs rs12998G > A and rs35431622A > T revealed no significant influence on PCOS and associated variables. Haplotypes were constructed, but there was no significant difference between the patients and controls. CONCLUSION In conclusion, this is the first study, which reports a significant influence of KISS1 gene polymorphism (rs372790354G > A) on PCOS and its associated variables. However, more extensive research is necessary to confirm these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with major burns covering a large total body surface area (%TBSA) fulfill all the criteria of Virchow's triad, as a sequela of their injury. This places these patients at increased risk for developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT). However, data regarding the incidence of DVT in burn patients are minimal, especially in the pediatric age group. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the incidence of DVT in pediatric burn patients, identify possible risk factors for developing DVT, and explore the need for prophylactic treatment. METHODS A retrospective chart review of 95 patients admitted to our Burn Unit was conducted. We included all pediatric patients with second- and third-degree burns admitted to the unit. Exclusion criteria were adult patients, those with first-degree burns and admitted to the unit for <72h, patients discharged against medical advice, those admitted for elective reconstructive surgery, secondary admissions for non-healing/infected burns, and patients with trauma-induced skin loss. A data collection sheet was utilized. RESULTS The total incidence of thrombosis in our population was 4.2% (DVT, 3.1%; arterial thrombosis, 1.1%). Factors significantly associated with DVT included length of hospitalization (p=0.012), central venous catheter placement (p=0.013), and %TBSA (p=0.004). Unlike adult patients, weight for age (percentile) and body mass index were not significant risk factors for DVT in our patients. CONCLUSION Burns are a major risk factor for DVT, especially when covering large surface areas (≥40% TBSA) and combined with other factors (i.e., prolonged hospitalization and central lines). Thus, investigations for DVT and prophylactic anticoagulation should be considered for pediatric burn patients with these risk factors, even if they are asymptomatic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is considered as one of the most frequently encountered hormonal pathologies in women during their reproductive years. Leptin and ghrelin, peptide hormones with adipostatic and orexigenic effect, respectively, seem to be involved in the metabolic changes that occur in PCOS. The aim of this study was to determine serum ghrelin and leptin levels in obese and lean Saudi women with PCOS and to investigate their relationship to the metabolic profiles in these women. METHODS This study was conducted as a prospective, observational, cross-sectional, case-control study, at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Al-Noor Hospital, Makkah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The study population included 252 women [130 women with PCOS (diagnosed according to the Rotterdam ESHRE/ASRM-Sponsored PCOS Consensus, 2003) and 122 normo-ovulatory women as matched controls] attending the outpatient Gynecology Clinic. Demographic details were recorded, blood was extracted following overnight fast and serum was used for the determination of serum ghrelin and leptin levels and other hormonal and biochemical parameters including total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, glucose, and insulin. Insulin resistance and sensitivity were calculated as HOMA-IR and HOMA-S. RESULTS No significant differences in ghrelin (P = 0.1830) and leptin (P = 0.8329) levels were detected between the PCOS and control groups. However, ghrelin levels were significantly lower; and leptin levels were significantly higher in obese PCOS patients in comparison with lean patients (P = 0.0001 for both). In the PCOS group, there were significant correlations between ghrelin and leptin levels with Body Mass Index (BMI), waist-hip ratio, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL and insulin levels. Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that insulin was the main determinant for ghrelin (R2 = 0.316) and leptin (R2 = 0.352) levels (P = 0.0001 for both). CONCLUSIONS Although serum ghrelin and leptin levels were found to be normal in women with PCOS; yet, there is a relationship, possibly linked to obesity, hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance between these levels and metabolic profile of Saudi PCOS.

Abstract
Background In some populations, obesity and body weight related disorders show a correlation with polymorphisms in three subtypes of beta-adrenoceptor (β1, β2, and β3) [ADRB1, ADRB2 and ADRB3] genes. We scanned for the polymorphism of Arg389Gly (rs1801253) in ADRB1 and Trp64Arg (rs4994) in ADRB3 genes in Saudi population to determine association, if any, of these polymorphisms with obesity and related disorders. Methods We studied 329 non-related adults (33.1% men and 66.9% women), aged 18–36 years. Anthropometric measurements were recorded, and Body mass index (BMI) and waist/hip ratio were calculated; leptin, insulin, lipidogram, and glucose concentrations were determined. ADRB1 and ADRB3 polymorphisms (Arg389Gly and Trp64Arg, respectively) were screened by DNA sequencing. The subjects were divided into three groups according to BMI: normal weight (BMI < 25 kg/m2), overweight (BMI ≥25.1–29.9 kg/m2) subjects, and obese (≥30 kg/m2). Results In the age-matched groups of the normal weight, overweight and obese male and female subjects, all anthropometric parameters were found to be significantly higher, and in the obese group, all biochemical parameters were significantly elevated compared to the normal weight controls. The allelic frequency of Gly389 ADRB1 did not differ amongst the three groups, whereas the frequency of Arg64 of ADRB3 gene was significantly higher in the overweight and obese subjects, compared with the normal weight subjects. In addition, subjects carrying Arg64 allele regardless of their BMI had a greater waist and hip circumference, W/H ratio, plasma cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, leptin, insulin, and glucose level compared to those with the wild-type Trp allele. Conclusion The results of this study have shown a significant association between the Trp64Arg polymorphism in ADRB3 gene and the development of overweight and obesity in Saudi populations. It also has an influence on the levels of lipid, insulin, leptin, and glucose, whereas, Arg389Gly polymorphism in ADRB1 is not associated with overweight, obesity or dyslipidaemias in Saudis.
