Aim: In order to understand the global variations in the growth trajectories of cerebral palsy patients, this study aimed to compare the growth patterns of cerebral palsy patients in Saudi Arabi with United States and United Kingdom counterparts.
Method: Anthropometric data from 107 participants with cerebral palsy in Saudi Arabia were collected, including age, gender, cerebral palsy type, Gross Motor Function Classification System level, birth weight, weight at assessment, height at assessment, body mass index, and head circumference at assessment.
Results: This study found discrepancies between the growth patterns of Saudi Arabian children with cerebral palsy and United Kingdom and the United States growth charts, particularly among those with severe cerebral palsy.
Article Synopsis
- - Macrothrompocytopenia (MTP) is a rare hereditary disorder caused by genetic mutations that affect blood clotting, primarily due to dysfunction in megakaryocytes, which are crucial for platelet production
- - The DIAPH1 gene plays a significant role in this disorder, with variants leading to macrothrombocytopenia and associated conditions like sensorineural deafness; different mutations result in varying symptoms including seizures and microcephaly in more severe cases
- - A case study of a 14-year-old Saudi girl highlighted a novel mutation (c.3633_3636del) in the DIAPH1 gene, suggesting its potential link to both MTP and autosomal dominant non-syndromic
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated bacterial contamination and antibiotic susceptibility in samples from Thika Level V Hospital, collecting 305 samples over eight months from various sources like urine, pus swabs, and environmental surfaces.
- Coagulase-negative Staphylococci were the most frequently detected bacteria, followed by E. coli and S. aureus, with significant contamination found on bed rails and in pus samples from trauma patients.
- A high level of antibiotic resistance was identified, especially among Enterobacterales, with 65.9% of enteric isolates exhibiting Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL), underscoring the urgent need for strategies to combat antibiotic resistance.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic affected the utilization of healthcare services in many parts of the world. The response to the healthcare burden imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with ensuring the provision of optimum healthcare services. This study aimed to estimate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on health services utilization and spending patterns in Dubai, the UAE.
