A Comparative Evaluation of Antimicrobial Efficacy of Novel Surfactant-Based Endodontic Irrigant Regimen's on .

Introduction: Irrigants play an important role in the eradication of microorganisms in the complex root canal system. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), chlorhexidine (CHX), and iodine potassium iodide (IKI) have certain limitations despite their routine clinical use. Surfactant irrigants with antimicrobial properties can be a milestone in endodontics to overcome the drawbacks of conventional irrigants.

The Outcome of Multidisciplinary Management of Carotid Body Tumors: Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: Carotid body tumor (CBT) is a rare paraganglionic hyper-vascular tumor of the carotid body. The standard treatment for CBTs is surgery, but it involves risk. The study is aimed to assess the CBTs and evaluate the outcome of multidisciplinary management.

Radiology learning or teaching subject areas vs modalities: students' perspective and experience at Albaha University.

Introduction: In radiology learning, most of the integrated schools address the subject area as a theme, and several imaging modalities describe the findings. A few schools handle the imaging modalities as a separate theme wherein many subject areas are discussed.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the differences in student achievement in imaging course using the two learning approaches: integration within modalities under the subject area and integration within the subject area under imaging modalities.

Mapping of pathology curriculum as quadriphasic model in an integrated medical school: how to put into practice?

Introduction: Integration is the dynamic interconnectedness at multiple levels based on recursive interactions. Pathology teaching strategy in the integrated curriculum has been widely studied, but mapping pathology in the integrated curriculum has not been fully handled.

Aim Of This Study: The aim of this work is to address the pathology teaching experience at Albaha School of Medicine.

Integrated pathology and radiology learning for a musculoskeletal system module: an example of interdisciplinary integrated form.

Introduction: Many curricula integrate radiology with anatomy courses but none of these curricula adopt integration of pathology with radiology as interdisciplinary form at the undergraduate level. The aim of the current study was to identify the outcome of interdisciplinary integrated course of pathology and radiology in musculoskeletal system module (MSK).

Methods: A comparative interventional study was conducted on 60 students representing a whole class of the third year of level V.

Matching medical student achievement to learning objectives and outcomes: a paradigm shift for an implemented teaching module.

Introduction: Low student achievement in a basic imaging module was the impetus for an assessment of the module.

Methods: A valid, reliable, and structured Likert scale was designed to measure the degree of student satisfaction with the domains of the module, including learning objectives (LO), teaching strategy and tools (TT), assessment tools (AT), and allotted credit hours (CH). Further analysis was conducted of student dissatisfaction to determine the subdomain in which module improvement was to be implemented.

Thyroid, Renal, and Breast Carcinomas, Chondrosarcoma, Colon Adenomas, and Ganglioneuroma: A New Cancer Syndrome, FAP, or Just Coincidence.

We are presenting a case associated with papillary thyroid carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, invasive mammary carcinoma, chondrosarcoma, benign ganglioneuroma, and numerous colon adenomas. The patient had a family history of colon cancer, kidney and bladder cancers, lung cancer, thyroid cancer, leukemia, and throat and mouth cancers. She was diagnosed with colonic villous adenoma at the age of 41 followed by thyroid, renal, and breast cancers and chondrosarcoma at the ages of 48, 64, 71, and 74, respectively.

Integrating radiology vertically into an undergraduate medical education curriculum: a triphasic integration approach.

Fulfilling the goal of integrating radiology into undergraduate medical curricula is a real challenge due to the enduring faith assuming that traditional medical disciplines are worthy of consuming the available study time. In this manner, radiology is addressed occasionally and with relevance to these traditional disciplines. In Al-Baha University Faculty of Medicine, Al-Baha, Saudi Arabia, efforts have been made to integrate radiology vertically and in a structured manner into the undergraduate curriculum from the first year to the sixth year.

Study of pelvicaliceal anatomy by helical computerized tomography. Is it feasible?

Objective: To evaluate the role of 3-dimensional images produced by computerized tomography (CT), using intravenous contrast to study pelvicaliceal anatomy. This might be of help in endourological procedures.

Methods: The study was conducted in King Fahd Hospital of the University, King Faisal University, Dammam, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
