Nutrition literacy profile among adolescents in Kuwait: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Adolescent nutrition literacy and knowledge are associated with nutrient intake and obesity. With the rising prevalence of obesity in Kuwait, limited studies have assessed nutrition literacy among Kuwaiti adolescents. Therefore, this study aims to assess nutrition literacy among Kuwaiti adolescents and examine factors associated with nutrition literacy, such as body mass index (BMI) and dietary intake.

Validating the diagnostic accuracy of an MRI-based scoring system for differentiating benign uterine leiomyomas from leiomyosarcomas.

Objective: Uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign uterine tumors. They are difficult to distinguish from their malignant counterparts-smooth muscle tumors of unknown malignant potential (STUMP) and leiomyosarcoma. The purpose of this study is to propose and validate the diagnostic accuracy of the MRI-based Oman-Canada Scoring System of Myometrial Masses (OCSSMM) to differentiate uterine leiomyomas from STUMP/leiomyosarcomas.

Impact of Genetic Variations on Thromboembolic Risk in Saudis with Sickle Cell Disease.

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a Mendelian disease characterized by multigenic phenotypes. Previous reports indicated a higher rate of thromboembolic events (TEEs) in SCD patients. A number of candidate polymorphisms in certain genes (e.

Data on self-medication among healthcare students at Najran University, KSA.

Clinical subtypes and molecular basis of epidermolysis bullosa in Kuwait.

Background: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous blistering skin disease, but in countries such as Kuwait, there are very limited data on the clinical and molecular pathology of EB. To improve understanding of EB in Kuwait, we report the experience of a local tertiary referral center over a 17.5 year period (January 2000-June 2017) in establishing clinical and molecular diagnoses.
