Assessing Family Medicine Residents' Knowledge, Attitudes, and Confidence in Managing In-Flight Medical Emergencies in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The global increase in air travel has led to a rise in in-flight medical emergencies (IMEs), posing significant challenges to global public health. In a significant number of instances, physicians are often called upon to respond to IMEs during flights. These emergencies are unique due to the cabin environment's constraints, including confined space, ambient noise, and reduced atmospheric pressure.

Comparison of the Outcomes Between Bilateral Thoracoscopic Maximal Thymectomy Versus Trans-Sternal Maximal Thymectomy for Non-Thyomomatous Myasthenia Gravis Patients: A Local University Hospital Experience.

Introduction: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease characterized by excessive and intense weakness of both respiratory and skeletal muscles. Management of MG involves both medical and surgical treatment. The surgical management includes resection of the thymus gland by many approaches, either bilateral thoracoscopic maximal thymectomy (BTT) or trans-sternal maximal thymectomy (TS).

The Prevalence of Thyroid Papillary Microcarcinoma in Patients With Benign Thyroid Fine Needle Aspiration.

Introduction Thyroid nodules are a very common clinical finding in the general population. We use fine needle aspiration (FNA) as the gold standard workup test for a thyroid nodule, as it is capable of differentiating malignant nodules from benign in the majority of cases. Usually, FNA is done for nodules that are more than 1 cm; small malignant lesions that are less than 1 cm in size can be missed.
