This manuscript explores the stability theory of several stochastic/random models. It delves into analyzing the stability of equilibrium states in systems influenced by standard Brownian motion and exhibit random variable coefficients. By constructing appropriate Lyapunov functions, various types of stability are identified, each associated with distinct stability conditions.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAchalasia is uncommon in pediatrics and typically presents after five years of age. It is often managed medically, endoscopically, or surgically such as myectomy. This case highlights an exceptionally rare occurrence of achalasia at the age of eight weeks, successfully treated with endoscopic CRE® balloon dilatation, providing prompt relief of symptoms.

Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 188 women with BC. The dependent variable, QoL, was measured using the Quality of Life Index (QLI-c).
Sleep disorder is a disease that can be categorized as both an emotional and physical problem. It imposes several difficulties and problems, such as distress during the day, sleep-wake disorders, anxiety, and several other problems. Hence, the main objective of this research was to utilize the strong capabilities of machine learning in the prediction of sleep disorders.

Methods: Two hundred patients undergoing endoscopy and positive rapid urease tests were included in the present study.
Background: The most cost-effective measure for preventing the infectious disease, influenza, is vaccination. The purpose of this research was to evaluate knowledge levels, familiarity, and attitude toward influenza and influenza vaccination of the Riyadh adult population.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in Riyadh and data was collected between December 2017 and March 2018.
Kawasaki disease (KD), particularly incomplete form, might present with wide spectrum clinical features. The treatment regimen includes a combination of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) and aspirin. The use of steroids has been studied as an adjunctive therapy and its role in preventing coronary artery (CA) complications is still debatable.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe landscape and clinical utility of comprehensive genomic investigations for a wide range of pediatric rheumatic disorders have not been fully characterized in the Middle East. Here, 71 pediatric patients, of diverse Arab origins, were clinically and genetically assessed for a spectrum of rheumatology-related diseases at the only dedicated tertiary children's hospital in the United Arab Emirates. Clinical genomic investigations included mainly (76%) next-generation sequencing-based gene panels and whole-exome sequencing, along with rapid sequencing in the intensive care unit and urgent setting.

Aims: This research is aimed at investigating the influence of diabetes on the localization and expression of HSP90 and iNOS in the testicular tissue of diabetic rats.
Methods: A diabetic model was developed through a single injection of alloxan monohydrate intraperitoneally (purchased from Sigma-Aldrich) 120 mg/kg body weight following fasting for 12 hrs.
This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and the local antibiogram of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates in Al-Hussein Hospital at King Hussein Medical Centre in Amman, Jordan. In a retrospective study from January to December 2013, data on 116 non-repetitive positive clinical samples were retrieved from patients' laboratory records. The resistance rates of A.
