Understanding Public Knowledge, Attitudes, and Awareness Toward Seizure Episodes Among Residents of Madinah: A Saudi Cross-Sectional Study.

Epilepsy is a prevalent condition that affects a large population. However, a lack of knowledge and misconceptions about seizures can lead to inappropriate reactions and negative attitudes toward people with epilepsy, who are more likely to experience stigma because of their illness. This study explored public knowledge, attitudes, and awareness of epilepsy and seizures among residents of Madinah, Saudi Arabia.

Key Factors Determining the Success of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: A Multi-center Study Investigating Survival Rates and Predictors.

Introduction Cardiac arrest can be fatal if not addressed quickly, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a critical intervention to sustain life in cases of cardiac arrest. Multiple factors affect the mortality of patients who had cardiac arrest and subsequently CPR, such as the timing at which CPR is started. Due to the scarcity of local evidence regarding cardiac arrest in Saudi Arabia, this study aims to identify the predictors of CPR success and survival rate, namely, return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).

Ethical dilemmas surrounding patients´ "unwise" treatment preferences and suboptimal decision quality: case series of three renal cell carcinoma patients who developed local recurrences after non-guideline-concordant care choices.

Patient engagement and shared decision-making (SDM) between patients and clinicians is the foundation of patient-centered care. It aims to reach a treatment option that fits the patient's preference and is guideline-concordant. We sought to evaluate the possible causes and outcomes of patient's non-guideline-concordant care choices.

Efficacy and safety of office-based diode laser ablation for recurrent low-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer under local anaesthesia: A pilot study.

Introduction: Low-grade tumors account for approximately 50% of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with recurrence rates between 46% and 62%. Management of NMIBC recurrence typically involves transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) under general or regional anesthesia, which carries perioperative risks and considerable healthcare costs due to repeated procedures. Therefore, less invasive treatments such as office-based laser ablation, which aim to manage recurrences and reduce inpatient procedures without compromising oncological control, are needed.
