Sonographic imaging of the stellate ganglion in healthy adults: An observational study.

The aim of this study is to estimate the normal cross-sectional area and diameter of the stellate ganglion (SG) by ultrasound (US) in healthy adults. The study sample included 80 stellate ganglia in 40 participants (15 males, 25 females), mean age 38 years, mean height 162.5 cm, mean weight 67.

Epilepsy first aid awareness among healthcare workers in Saudi Arabia: A cross-sectional study.

Objectives: Epilepsy is a neurological disorder affecting more than 50 million human lives of all ages, its social, physical and psychological implications is of huge concern. The current study and as a continuation of epilepsy knowledge assessment projects conducted by our research team is aimed to assess the knowledge of healthcare workers regarding epilepsy first aid in Saudi Arabia.

Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was carried out from 2020 to 2021.

Satisfaction of adult and pediatric neurologists and neurosurgeons using telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia: a cross-sectional study.

Objectives: Telehealth has become increasingly important in achieving universal health coverage. It offers doctors and their patients' convenience, including providing quality care at reduced costs. During the coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 pandemic, telehealth has been a vital tool for remote healthcare services.

Neurological Implications of Vitamin B12 Deficiency in Diet: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Vitamin B12 is one of the most important B-Vitamins that the human body needs on a daily basis, the lack of which can precipitate several neurological issues.

Objectives: This systematic aimed to investigate the neurological implications of Vitamin B12 deficiency and the effects when B12 levels were corrected in susceptible individuals.

Methods: The databases PubMed-MEDLINE, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Scopus were all searched using pertinent keywords, reference searches, and citation searches.

Discussing sexuality with patients with neurological diseases: A survey among neurologists working in Saudi Arabia.

Background: Neurological diseases frequently affect sexual activity, and the resulting sexual dysfunction can cause much distress for patients. However, despite the importance of such complaints, neurologists frequently do not ask patients about their sexual symptoms or how their neurological illness and medications are affecting their sexual health. This study aimed to identify these difficulties as well as potential obstructions to conversations for addressing sexual dysfunction in patients with neurological diseases.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Schistosoma mansoni co-infection in a young patient with extensive longitudinal acute transverse myelitis.

Introduction: Acute transverse myelitis is an uncommon inflammatory, intramedullary, disorder of the spinal cord. Spastic paraplegia, impaired sphincter functions, and sensory loss, with sensory level, are the clinical manifestations of this devastating disorder. The utilization of magnetic resonant imaging (MRI) contributes to the surge in the diagnosis of more ATM cases.

Prevalence and prediction of pressure ulcers in admitted stroke patients in a tertiary care hospital.

Pressure ulcer (PU) is a localized injury to the skin or underlying tissues usually over a bony prominence, which results due to pressure or pressure in combination with shear. It is an expensive health care problem that have deterring impact on the length of hospitalization and cause extra nursing care time. Moreover, PUs negatively impacts patients' health related quality of life.

Public awareness of first-aid management of seizures in Saudi Arabia.

Background: First aid measures in cases of epileptic seizures are crucial. Misconceptions about seizure first-aid measures are probably common. Most of the previous data focused on teachers and healthcare providers.

Brain Tumor/Mass Classification Framework Using Magnetic-Resonance-Imaging-Based Isolated and Developed Transfer Deep-Learning Model.

With the advancement in technology, machine learning can be applied to diagnose the mass/tumor in the brain using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This work proposes a novel developed transfer deep-learning model for the early diagnosis of brain tumors into their subclasses, such as pituitary, meningioma, and glioma. First, various layers of isolated convolutional-neural-network (CNN) models are built from scratch to check their performances for brain MRI images.

A timed Phalen's test predicts abnormal electrophysiology in carpal tunnel syndrome.

Objective: Previous studies reported variable sensitivity and specificity of the Phalen test. We investigated whether a timed Phalen's test (TPT) could predict abnormal nerve conduction studies (NCS) results in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).

Methods: Patients with CTS were consecutively recruited.

Simultaneous bilateral posterior ischemic optic neuropathy secondary to giant cell arteritis: a case presentation and review of the literature.

Background: This report highlights a rare case of simultaneous bilateral blindness due to posterior ischemic optic neuropathy. Typically, ophthalmic involvement in giant cell arteritis is monocular or sequential ischemia of the anterior portion of the optic nerve, and less frequently simultaneous.

Case Presentation: An 80-year-old Saudi male came with a history of simultaneous bilateral vision loss 5 days prior to presentation.

Uncommon Presentation of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension in a Patient with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Case Report.

Introduction: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is a rare condition characterized by increased intracranial pressure without clinical, laboratory, or radiological evidence of intracranial pathology. Early management could prevent irreversible outcomes.

Case Presentation: A 17-year-old single Arabian female of Arab origin presented with a 2-day complaint of horizontal diplopia and transient visual obscurations.
