Therapeutic window of opportunity in the acute uveitic phase of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease: Prevention of late autoimmune complications by early intervention.

Purpose: To determine relationship between timing of treatment initiation and disease outcomes and whether a therapeutic window of opportunity exists in initial-onset acute uveitis associated with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of 112 patients (224 eyes). Main outcome measures were final visual acuity, progression to chronic recurrent evolution, development of complications, particularly 'sunset glow fundus', and drug-free remission cure of uveitis.

Primary care physicians' knowledge of sleep medicine and barriers to transfer of patients with sleep disorders. A cross-sectional study.

To assess primary care physicians' (PCPs) knowledge and attitudes toward sleep disorders.  Methods: In this cross-sectional quantitative study, we surveyed 88 primary care centers under the Ministry of Health during 2015 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, using a combination of pre-designed validated questionnaires. Knowledge was assessed using the Assessment of Sleep Knowledge in Medical Education (ASKME) questionnaire, and attitude was assessed using a pre-designed survey.

Assessment of patients' medical fitness to drive by primary care physicians: A cross-sectional study.

Objectives: Motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) are a significant health burden in Saudi Arabia. The literature has consistently indicated that chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, obstructive sleep apnea, and neurodevelopmental disorders, increase the risk of MVCs. Therefore, assessment of driver fitness by primary care physicians (PCPs) remains a major health intervention that might reduce MVCs.
