Article Synopsis
- Obesity is a growing public health issue globally, with increasing prevalence in Saudi Arabia, leading to a rise in bariatric surgeries like laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB).
- A case study discusses a female patient who, after a LAGB procedure in 2013, experienced complete gastric band erosion that caused severe complications, including a foreign body sensation and the formation of a gastrointestinal (GI) fistula.
- The treatment for the erosion involved a novel combined laparoscopic and endoscopic approach to remove the band, marking a unique case in medical literature.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the reliability, validity, and diagnostic accuracy of the Intelligibility in Context Scale in both Saudi Arabic (ICS-SA) and English (ICS-E) for bilingual preschoolers in Saudi Arabia, including 36 parent-child dyads.
- Results showed that parents rated their children's speech intelligibility similarly in both languages, with high internal consistency for both scales (α = 0.96 for ICS-SA and α = 0.95 for ICS-E).
- The ICS-SA demonstrated high reliability, while the ICS-E had fair to high reliability, indicating that further testing is needed for the English version to enhance its validity and diagnostic utility.
Aims And Objectives: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and risk factors of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among clinical laboratory workers.
Materials And Methods: This questionnaire-based cross-sectional study included the clinical laboratory departments of six governmental tertiary and secondary hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The selected instrument was a self-administered adapted standardized questionnaire.
