Article Synopsis
- - Endometriosis is a widespread disease among women, particularly affecting those in the Middle East, and a lack of knowledge leads to delayed diagnoses and increased complications like infertility.
- - A study conducted with 725 Lebanese women showed that only 25.9% had adequate knowledge about endometriosis, with more than 60% unaware of its symptoms.
- - The results indicate that factors like younger age and higher education correlate with greater awareness, emphasizing the need for medical education and awareness campaigns in Lebanon to improve understanding and prompt treatment.
The Administration of Steroids and its Impact on Caspase-3 Expression in Pediatric Adenoid Hypertrophy.
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
October 2024
Objective: Adenoid hypertrophy is a prevalent pediatric condition, often necessitating surgical intervention. Intranasal steroid administration shows promise as a conservative treatment, particularly by inducing apoptosis in adenoidal cells, leading to a reduction in adenoid size and inflammation. This study aims to characterize the expression profile of caspase-3 as an apoptotic inducer protein in inflammatory and epithelial adenoid tissues and explore its association with steroid administration.

Methods: Allele and genotype frequencies were compared between 245 NASH patients and 120 healthy controls using SNP genotyping via polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Additionally, the deviation of the observed genotype frequencies from Hardy-Weinberg proportion was examined.
Introduction: Antenatal care (ANC) interventions improve maternal and neonatal outcomes. However, access to ANC may be inequitable due to sociocultural, monetary and time factors. Examining drivers of ANC disparities may identify those amenable to policy change.

In Lebanon, the government and many international organisations are still working to decrease the burden of NCDs. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of selected NCDs and their risk factors among adults in Lebanon, and to investigate the relationship between these risk factors and NCDs.
