Prostate Cancer Knowledge and Attitude Toward Screening Practices Among Men 40 and Over in the Jazan Region, Saudi Arabia.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most prevalent malignancy among males and ranks as the fifth primary cause of mortality worldwide, underscoring its substantial impact on public health. Notably, there is a lack of research focused on PCa within the context of Saudi Arabia. Consequently, this study endeavours to elucidate the knowledge, attitudes, and screening practices related to PCa among males in Jazan, Saudi Arabia.

Dermatological patients with itch report more stress, stigmatization experience, anxiety and depression compared to patients without itch: Results from a European multi-centre study.

Background: Itch as the most common symptom in dermatology has been shown to be related to psychological factors such as stress, anxiety and depression. Moreover, associations were found between perceived stigmatization and itch. However, studies investigating the differences between patients with dermatoses with and without itch regarding perceived stress, stigmatization, anxiety and depression are missing.

Marine-Derived Compounds for CDK5 Inhibition in Cancer: Integrating Multi-Stage Virtual Screening, MM/GBSA Analysis and Molecular Dynamics Investigations.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including immune response, insulin secretion regulation, apoptosis, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) damage response, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), cell migration and invasion, angiogenesis, and myogenesis. Overactivation of CDK5 is associated with the initiation and progression of cancer. Inhibiting CDK5 has shown potential in suppressing cancer development.

Acute thrombotic occlusion involving three coronary arteries. A unique association with COVID-19 pneumonia.

Key Clinical Message: Respiratory viruses, particularly COVID-19, can be associated with severe cases of myocardial infarction (MI). Physicians should have a low threshold for MI in COVID-19 patients who present with persistent chest pain as MI in rapidly deteriorating cases can be missed. Prompt response includes both timely diagnosis and swift treatment.

Syncope following Pfizer BioNTech (bnt162b2) vaccination unmasking Brugada syndrome.

The Brugada syndrome is an uncommon inherited condition associated with increased risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Different triggers including fever are well known to precipitate the Brugada pattern on electrocardiogram. We report a patient who presents with syncope, two days after the first dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine due to fever-related unmasking of Brugada syndrome.
