Demographic, diagnosis, and management data was collected for all Middle Eastern children and an age and gender matched non- Middle Eastern IBD control group. The SCHR IBD database was used to identify patients of self-reported Middle Eastern ethnicity diagnosed between 19. This study aimed to investigate the burden of IBD in children of Middle Eastern descent at the Sydney Children's Hospital, Randwick (SCHR). The pattern of IBD in children of Middle Eastern descent in Australia has never been reported. Increasing rates of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are now seen in populations where it was once uncommon. Naidoo, Christina Mai Ying Leach, Steven T. Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Children of Middle Eastern Descent Although there were limitations with this dataset, we estimated a higher prevalence of IBD in Middle Eastern children and they had a different disease phenotype and behavior compared to the control group, with less disease restricted to the colon and likely a more active disease course. Middle Eastern Crohn's disease patients had higher disease activity at diagnosis, higher use of thiopurines, and less restricted colonic disease than controls. Twenty-four patients of Middle Eastern descent were identified.

Most of the material in the book has been written by Middle Easterners, and it comes from a variety of sources including autobiographies, fiction, poetry, newspaper and magazine articles, letters, diaries,… This book, intended for use with secondary and college students, presents a Middle Eastern view of the Middle East and the world.

Essential considerations in the process spanning the consultation and surgery are reviewed.

This article highlights the inherent nasal features of the Middle Eastern nose and reviews pertinent concepts of rhinoplasty on Middle Eastern patients. Esthetic alteration of a Middle Eastern nose follows a different set of goals and principles compared with rhinoplasties on white or other ethnic patients. Detailed understanding of the ethnic visual harmony in a Middle Eastern nose greatly assists in preserving native nasal-facial relationships during rhinoplasty on Middle Eastern patients. The goal, and the ultimate challenge, of rhinoplasty on Middle Eastern patients is to achieve balanced aesthetic refinement, while avoiding surgical westernization. These external characteristics reflect distinct structural properties of the osseo-cartilaginous nasal framework and skin-soft tissue envelope in patients of Middle Eastern extraction.

The ethnic appearance of the Middle Eastern nose is defined by several unique visual features, particularly a high radix, wide overprojecting dorsum, and an amorphous hanging nasal tip.
