RESUMEN

To describe the clinical, biochemical, and immunological manifestations of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1 [APS-1] in a Saudi population. The medical files of 7 consanguineous Saudi families with 20 affected siblings were retrospectively reviewed. They were followed at the Pediatric Endocrinology Clinic, King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for a mean duration of 6 years [January 2000 to December 2009]. The age of the affected children ranged from 2-17 years. The included patients had at least 2 out of the 3 major clinical diagnostic criteria of APS-1. Fourteen children had neonatal chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis affecting the nails and mouth. The most commonly presenting endocrine disease among APS-1 patients was hypoparathyroidism. Eight patients had autoimmune Addison's disease. Hypothyroidism was diagnosed in 3 patients, and 9 patients had alopecia universalis. Other endocrine and autoimmune disorders were infrequently seen including type 1 diabetes, growth hormone deficiency, celiac disease, autoimmune hepatitis, and keratoconjuctivitis. Autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1, although an uncommon disorder in Saudi children affects multiple endocrine glands, and is associated with several autoimmune diseases where alopecia universalis is a common finding

RESUMEN

High levels of depression in medical students have been reported in several studies and have been attributed to the stresses of medical education and training. In order to compare the severity of depression and to detect its prevalence among medical students and other students, we administered the General Health Questionnaire to 50 Medical Students and to 50 Arts Students from different academic levels and age groups. Arts students reported significantly more depression and physical symptoms related mostly to the daily studying time [D.S.T.] and academic level than medical students. Grade had nothing to do to the mood of the university students. Accordingly, depression may be lower in medical students than other graduate students
