Exploring the link between kidney dimensions and anthropometric measurements: insights from a Saudi population study.

Introduction: Ultrasound (US) measurements of kidney dimensions are essential for correlating with height, weight, and body mass index (BMI), establishing kidney size baselines, and assessing renal health. The global rise in obesity has increased interest in the links between BMI and chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study investigates the relationship between renal dimensions (length, width, and thickness) and anthropometric measures (height, weight, and BMI) in a Saudi population.

Computed Tomography Diagnostic Reference Levels for Routine Pediatric Examinations in Saudi Arabia: A Systematic Review.

This work aims to review the diagnostic reference levels reported for pediatric patients who underwent routine CT exams in Saudi Arabia. The literature search was conducted in prominent search engines, including PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, EBSCO, ProQuest, and Saudi Digital Library (SDL), which serve as important sources in the fields of radiology, radiography, and medical physics. The search was conducted to identify previous studies that have reported diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for pediatric CT examinations.

Exploring Barriers in Self-Reporting of Errors and Near Misses: A Cross-Sectional Study on Radiation Oncology in Saudi Arabia.

Background: Radiation therapy utilizes complex technologies to target tumors. Radiation therapy is not immune to human errors. Reporting medical errors and near misses is crucial to improving patient outcomes and ensuring the safety of future patients.

Navigating Challenges in Teleradiology Implementation: A Case Study from Saudi Arabia's Healthcare System.

Background And Aims: Teleradiology is the practice of interpreting medical images acquired in an off-site location. Teleradiology has been utilized widely around the world to address the needs for subspecialty coverage, workload balancing, and as a solution for understaffing. This study aims to assess the perceptions of teleradiology among radiologists in Saudi Arabia, investigate any challenges they might face, and explore strategies that would help mitigate those challenges.

Knowledge, attitude, and practice of the Saudi population toward COVID-19 vaccination: A cross-sectional study.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination is the most effective protective measure to control the spread of infections and provide protection against hospitalization and mortality during the pandemic. There was a necessity to measure public knowledge and acceptance for COVID-19 vaccines in different countries. Thus, the current study is aimed at evaluating the knowledge, attitude, and practice of the population in all regions of Saudi towards COVID-19 vaccination.

Awareness level, knowledge and attitude towards breast cancer among staff and students of Hail University, Saudi Arabia.

Introduction: Awareness of screening procedures and illness warning signals is critical for expanding and implementing screening programs in society, which would improve the odds of early identification of breast cancer.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, awareness, attitudes, and practices related to breast cancer risk factors, signs, symptoms and methods of screening among female faculty and students at Hail University in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2021 through February 2021 in the Hail region of Saudi Arabia.

Radiological and environmental hazards of granitic rocks in Wadi Faliq El Sahl and El Waar area, North Eastern Desert, Egypt.

Chronologically, the main exposures in the study area include; tonalite, granodiorite, adamellite, Hammamat Sediments, monzogranite, syenogranite, rapakivi syenogranite, alkali feldspar granite and dykes. This work aims to determine the suitability of the granitic rocks for using as ornamental stones through detecting their radiological and ecological impacts. The studied samples were measured radiometrically by using Na-I detector for determination of Ra, Th and K concentrations.

Association between Physical Activity Levels and Brain Volumes in Adults Visiting Radio-Imaging Center of Tertiary Care Hospital.

Background And Aim: There is evidence to support the favorable impact of physical activity (PA) on brain volume. However, the empirical evidence exploring the relationship between physical and sedentary behavior remains mixed. We aimed to explore the relationship between PA and sedentary behavior and brain volume.

Influence of Sedentary Behaviour Interventions on Vascular Functions and Cognitive Functions in Hypertensive Adults-A Scoping Review on Potential Mechanisms and Recommendations.

Since the workplace has become desk-based and leisure time has become dominated by digital relaxation modes, the world is moving at a pace where physical activity has become a time-bound routine. The negative effects of extended sitting are a global concern since the workforce is becoming more desk based. There is a dearth of reviews that may link the knowledge on the effects of sedentary behaviour on hypertension and its accompanying damage to the brain and blood vessels and provide a future scope for the investigations connected to the relationship between sedentary behaviour and hypertension.

Public acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination among residents of Saudi Arabia: a cross-sectional online study.

Objectives: The acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine is essential for protecting the world population and stopping the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper aimed to measure public acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccination and the factors that may play an important role in increasing the acceptance of vaccinations in future pandemics.

Design: A cross-sectional, observational study was conducted through a survey designed using the Google Forms platform.
