Risk Factors Associated With the Development of Acute Peripancreatic Fluid Collections on Follow-Up Imaging After Acute Pancreatitis: What Physicians Need to Know.

Objectives: This study aims to identify various risk factors for acute peripancreatic fluid collections (APFCs) in patients presenting with acute pancreatitis (AP).

Methods: A blinded retrospective case-control study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Riyadh. Data from 327 patients who presented with AP between January 2008 and 2021 were analyzed.

The Efficacy and Safety of Intra-articular Low Molecular Weight Fraction of Human Serum Albumin for the Management of Moderate to Moderately Severe Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease that affects weight-bearing joints. Low molecular weight fraction of 5% (LMWF-5A) human serum albumin is an intra-articular injection that emerged for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. The aim of this review is to assess the efficacy and safety of LMWF-5A versus placebo through a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Riyadh. Data from CD patients who presented with acute abdominal pain between December 2016 and December 2021 was analyzed.

Incidence of peripancreatic fluid collections in patients presenting with acute pancreatitis.

Objectives: To calculate the incidence of acute peripancreatic fluid collection (APFC) in patients with acute pancreatitis. The secondary objective is to determine the underlying etiologies of acute pancreatitis in the Saudi population.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was carried out at King Khalid University Hospital, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The Journey to Diagnose Spondyloarthritis in Patients From Riyadh: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction  Ankylosing spondylitis, now frequently referred to as spondyloarthritis (SpA), is a chronic inflammatory disease causing axial arthritis and inflammatory lower back pain resulting in the eventual impairment of spinal mobility. Moreover, its systemic complications include stiffness and inflexibility, restriction of lung capacity and function, eye inflammation, compression spinal fractures, and heart problems. Hence, early diagnosis and intervention play a key role in preventing acute complications and improving the quality of life.

Lack of association between fat mass and obesity-associated genetic variant (rs8050136) and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objectives: To study the genotype and allele frequency of the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) rs8050136 A>C genetic variant and investigate its association with type 2 diabetes mekkitus (T2DM) parameters.

Methods: This study was carried out on 118 diabetic patients and 106 healthy individuals (control) from Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Hospital, Al Madinah Al Munawarah, Saudi Arabia. The TaqMan single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)genotyping assay was used for rs8050136 genotyping.

Self-Assessment of Competence in Palliative Care of Medical Doctors Working in Saudi Arabia.

Background: The provision of palliative care (PC) for individuals with a life-threatening condition is fundamental to the role of the physician, in order to improve quality of life; however, little research has assessed the competence of the physicians in PC in Saudi Arabia.

Aim: To conduct a baseline assessment of self-assessed palliative care competences among medical physicians in Saudi Arabia.

Methods A cross-sectional study, using a set of pre-validated and anonymous dietary tools, was conducted in 2018.

Elementary school teachers' knowledge of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Background: Teachers are often the first ones to suspect attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in their students, because they are with them for most of the day and they know how normal students typically behave in classroom situations. The aim of this study is to assess the teachers' level of knowledge of ADHD and identify some factors affecting that knowledge.

Methods: It is a cross-sectional study conducted among male and female elementary governmental schools in Madina city during the year 2017/1438.

Primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the eyelid: A case report and literature review.

Primary mucinous adenocarcinoma (PMA) of the eyelid is an exceptionally rare clinical entity. Often, it mimics with benign lesions on clinical examination and with metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma on histological examinations. We report a case of PMA in a 60-year- old male patient who came with a slow-growing, painless swelling near the lower lid of the left eye.
