Stability of ADC measurements in diffusion MRI: A multicenter phantom study using multi-point b-values.

Introduction: The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) from diffusion MRI provides critical insights into tissue microstructure and is influenced by various b-values. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of multiple b-values on ADC measurements using a multicenter observational approach with different MRI scanners and phantoms.

Methods: The study utilized a liquid isotropic phantom across eight different 1.

Optimizing Prostate Imaging Practices in Saudi Arabian Hospitals: A Comprehensive Analysis of PI-RADS Compliance in Multiparametric MRI.

Background: Prostate cancer, a significant contributor to male cancer mortality globally, demands improved diagnostic strategies. In Saudi Arabia, where the incidence is expected to double, this study assessed the compliance of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) practices with Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System version 2 (PI-RADS v2) guidelines across diverse healthcare institutions.

Methods: A survey was distributed to the radiology departments of all tertiary referral hospitals in Saudi Arabia (n=60) to assess their compliance with the technical specifications outlined in PI-RADS v2.

Revolutionizing and identifying novel drug targets in via subtractive proteomics and development of a multi-epitope vaccine using reverse vaccinology and immuno-informatics.

is a gram-negative rod that has been linked to infections in people with significant comorbidities and immunocompromised immune systems. It is most commonly known to cause urinary tract infections. Thus, the development of an efficacious vaccine is imperative, as the pathogen has acquired resistance to current antibiotics.

Investigating the Feasibility of Predicting KRAS Status, Tumor Staging, and Extramural Venous Invasion in Colorectal Cancer Using Inter-Platform Magnetic Resonance Imaging Radiomic Features.

(1) Background: Colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer with a high mortality rate and poor prognosis. The accurate prediction of key genetic mutations, such as the KRAS status, tumor staging, and extramural venous invasion (EMVI), is crucial for guiding personalized treatment decisions and improving patients' outcomes. MRI radiomics was assessed to predict the KRAS status and tumor staging in colorectal cancer patients across different imaging platforms to improve the personalized treatment decisions and outcomes.

Evaluation of Weight-Based Co-trimoxazole Dosing in a Saudi Tertiary Hospital.

Background: Infections caused by  ()and ( pneumonia (PJP)) require weight-based dosing for co-trimoxazole. The aim of this study is to assess the appropriateness of co-trimoxazole dosing in adult inpatients for the treatment of these infections.

Methodology: This is a single-center, cross-sectional study that included adult inpatients treated with co-trimoxazole for a weight-based dose indication ( and PJP).

Expanding pharmacist's educational role using virtual and social media portals before and during COVID19 outbreak.

Background: There are many ways to raise public health awareness and recently, Social media networks (SMN) have played a big role in it. The study aims to assess SMN use for acquiring health care information and publics' perception of virtual encounters with pharmacists for health- related purposes; particularly in times of a pandemic crisis.

Methods: A bi-phasic cross-sectional survey was distributed on 2017 and again during COVID-19 pandemic.
