Objectives: To examine the prevalence of menstrual irregularities, side effects, and discontinuation rates of etonogestrel subdermal implants (ESI) in women attending King Abdulaziz Medical City, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Methods: This cross-sectional was carried out based on electronic medical records and a phone-based questionnaire administered to women who underwent ESI insertion in a single tertiary care hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, between 2019 and 2022. The primary objective was the prevalence of menstrual abnormalities.
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by congenital deformities of the big toes and the progressive formation of extra-skeletal bone within soft tissues. The underlying genetic cause of FOP is mostly due to gain-of-function mutations in the AVCR1/ALK2 genes. These mutations cause aberrant bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathways and eventually result in cumulative musculoskeletal impairment.

Background Many international studies have reported the outcomes and predictors of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19); however, only a few national studies have reported predictors of poor outcomes among adult hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics and complications of COVID-19 and identify predictors of poor outcomes. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study.

- COVID-19 infection in pregnant women generally leads to favorable maternal and pregnancy outcomes, with screening conducted using the Acute Respiratory Illness (ARI) score to identify symptomatic cases.
- This cross-sectional study analyzed COVID-positive pregnant women from March 1 to October 31, 2020, across four medical centers in Saudi Arabia, focusing on the prevalence of infection and comparing outcomes between symptomatic and asymptomatic groups.
- A total of 402 pregnant women tested positive for COVID-19, with variations in screening approaches across cities, ranging from initial ARI scoring to universal testing throughout the study period.
