The epidemiology of haematological cancers in Sarawak, Malaysia (1996 to 2015).

Background: Published epidemiological studies of haematological cancers are few. Hereby we present a 20-year epidemiological data of haematological cancers in Sarawak from a population-based cancer registry.

Methods: Haematological cancer cases with ICD-10 coded C81-C96 and ICD-O coded /3 diagnosed from 1996 to 2015 were retrieved from Sarawak Cancer Registry.

Investigating the prevalence of pathogenic variants in Saudi Arabian patients with familial cancer using a multigene next generation sequencing panel.

Family history is an important factor in determining hereditary cancer risk for many cancer types. The emergence of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has expedited the discovery of many hereditary cancer susceptibility genes and the development of rapid, affordable testing kits. Here, a 30-gene targeted NGS panel for hereditary cancer risk assessment was tested and validated in a Saudi Arabian population.

The Impact of a Patient Participating in Evaluating Patient Safety by Using the Patient Measure of Safety in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Patient safety is an essential element for delivering quality of healthcare. Many studies focus on measuring patient safety from the healthcare provider's perspective to improve patient safety in healthcare facilities. However, patient participation may reduce medical errors and improve patient safety by providing information regarding the safety of their care.

Coronal discoloration induced by calcium silicate-based cements used in full pulpotomy in mature permanent molars: a randomized clinical trial.

Objectives: This study aimed to randomly compare in vivo coronal discoloration at 6 and 12 months after full pulpotomy in mature permanent molars using MTA, Biodentine, and TotalFill and to investigate the effect of variables such as remaining buccal wall thickness and time to achieve hemostasis.

Materials And Methods: One hundred eight teeth that met the inclusion criteria received full pulpotomy and were randomly divided into 3 groups via a block randomization technique according to the calcium silicate cement (CSC): ProRoot WMTA, TotalFill, or Biodentine. Assessment of tooth color was carried out using a spectrophotometric device (VITA Easyshade Compact) after composite placement (T0), at 6- and 12-month follow-up.

Impact of inpatient rehabilitation services on the functional levels of cancer patients at King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Objectives: To identify the impact of inpatient rehabilitation services on the functional levels of cancer patients. Methods: This was a retrospective study of data from the Rehabilitation Hospital, King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from 2012 to 2018. The functional independence measure (FIM) tool was used to assess functional changes from admission to discharge to determine the impact of inpatient rehabilitation.

Ankylosis of the hips and knees due to sickle cell disease.

This is a case report of a 29-year-old Saudi male with sickle cell disease (SCD) with severe stiffness of his joints, mainly both knees and hips, secondary to complications of SCD. He was severely crippled: unable to sit, stand or walk, and was bedridden for 8 years when he was presented to us. Radiographs showed fusion of both knees and hips.
