Implementing vocabulary assessment with children with disabilities in Saudi Arabia: Challenges and recommendations.

This study investigated the challenges professionals face in the general field of disability when implementing vocabulary assessments with individuals with disabilities in Saudi Arabia, examining factors that might affect the level of such challenges as workplace, level of education, training and support, and years of experience. Three hundred and seventy-five male and female professionals in the field of disability completed the Challenges Questionnaire of Vocabulary Assessment (CQVA). A descriptive statistic was used to answer the research questions.

Healing of Humerus Non-union Fracture Using Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein With Bone Graft Compared to Bone Graft Alone: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Non-union fractures of the humerus present significant challenges in orthopedic surgery, often requiring advanced treatments to achieve successful bone healing. The study aimed to compare the use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP) with bone grafts versus bone grafts alone for treating humerus non-union fractures with regard to healing rate and complications. Six databases, PubMed, ScienceDirect, The Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, were searched for relevant literature using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and studies were selected according to the set eligibility criteria.

Endoscopic repair of nasal septal perforation with anterior ethmoidal artery flap using tunnel technique.

Purpose: Septal perforations (SPs) present a distinct challenge. There are many described surgical approaches with variable success rates. The goal of this study is to describe a new technique in repairing SP.

A case report of simultaneous tears of the medial and lateral posterior meniscal roots with an intact ACL graft.

Introduction And Importance: Meniscal root tears are defined as soft-tissue and/or osseous injuries that rip or avulse within one centimeter of the meniscal insertion to the tibial plateau. These injuries impact around 100,000 patients a year and make up 10 % to 21 % of all meniscal tears. Meniscal extrusion frequently happens when there are root rips, and the transmission of circumferential hoop loads is hampered.

Congenital absence of the lateral meniscus: A case report.

Background: Congenital absence of the menisci is a rare anatomical variation characterized by the absence or underdevelopment of one or both menisci in the knee joint. The menisci are crucial in load distribution, joint stability, and shock absorption. Understanding the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of this condition is important for optimal patient care.

Prevalence of Latent Tuberculosis Infection Among Nurses Working in Critical Areas at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Introduction Tuberculosis is a critical health issue worldwide. Most infected persons are asymptomatic and categorized as having a latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Healthcare workers (HCWs) are more prone to being infected with tuberculosis and should be enrolled in a screening program for early detection.

The incidence of adhesive capsulitis and COVID-19 pandemic effect.

Background: There are multiple pieces of evidence in the literature that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has a pronounced effect on physiological health. There is little existing literature that has studied the pandemic's impact on adhesive capsulitis (AC) incidence. This study aimed to compare the incidence of primary AC before and during the pandemic.

Assessing the Impact of a Service Excellence Program on Improving Patient Experience at Primary Health Care Centers.

Background: Frontline clinical staff play a crucial role in shaping patient experience and, therefore, require adequate training and education to deliver exceptional service. This study aimed to assess the impact of a service excellence and quality training program on frontline clinical staff's knowledge, perception, and attitude toward patient experience and service excellence. We also examined the effect of this intervention on patient experience scores.

Aneurysmal bone cyst of the clavicle: A case report.

Introduction: An aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a locally aggressive primary bone neoplasm. ABC of the clavicle is rare with only a few reported cases in the literature.

Presentation Of Case: We report the case of a 10-year-old boy who presented with an ABC at the right acromial end of the clavicle.

Open Trans-Scaphoid Transcapitate Perilunate Fracture-Dislocation: A Case Report.

Perilunate dislocations and fracture-dislocations are considered rare injuries. Perilunate injuries are frequently missed during primary evaluations. We report a case of a 37-year-old male presenting with an open perilunate fracture-dislocation a few days after experiencing trauma.

Right Hepatic Artery Syndrome With Mirizzi Syndrome: A Case Report.

Anatomical diversity is rather typical in the biliary region. However, it has only sometimes been documented that the arteries of a hepatobiliary origin compressed the extrahepatic bile duct. Biliary obstruction may be caused by a myriad of benign and malignant diseases.

The Outcome of Immediate Administration of Dexamethasone in Children With Croup (Laryngotracheobronchitis) in King Abdullah Specialized Children's Hospital.

Background Croup is an inflammatory disease that affects the upper respiratory tract involving the upper airways of the lungs (bronchial tubes), vocal cords (larynx), and windpipe (trachea). In Canada, it is considered one of the major causes of respiratory diseases in the first 10 years of life. A wide range of viruses like common cold and flu (influenza) infections can cause croup (laryngotracheobronchitis).

Insulinoma in tuberous sclerosis: An entity not to be missed.

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are rare with an incident rate of 5 cases per million individuals. Tuberous sclerosis complex is an autosomal dominant disease. This disease involves multisystem and occurs in one out of every 6,000-10,000 individuals.

Innovative real CSF leak simulation model for rhinology training: human cadaveric design.

Objective: To study the feasibility of designing a human cadaveric simulation model of real CSF leak for rhinology training.

Method: The laboratory investigation took place at the surgical academic center of Prince Sultan Military Medical City between 2016 and 2017. Five heads of human cadaveric specimens were cannulated into the intradural space through two frontal bone holes.

Conservative treatment of processus vaginalis hernia in two peritoneal dialysis patients.

Dialysate leakage represents one of the major noninfectious complications of peritoneal dialysis (PD). In some instances, dialysate leakage may lead to discontinuation of the technique. Despite its importance, the incidence, risk factors, management, and outcome of dialysate leakage are poorly characterized in the literature.

Characteristics of immunization providers in riyadh and their self-perception of competency.
