Background: Current guidelines recommend shifting physician-led care (PLC) for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to more effective multidisciplinary health care (MHC). However, few researchers have studied its real-life implementation in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, we aimed to assess the implementation and compare the outcomes of an MDC diabetes management program (DMP) among T2DM patients to a PLC at a general hospital after one year of follow-up in a real-world practice setting.

- The study investigated the prevalence of infection and its association with gastric conditions in symptomatic Saudi adults, finding that gastritis was the most common diagnosis among 151 biopsy samples.
- Infection was notably higher in younger patients, who reported milder gastrointestinal symptoms but had a significant incidence of chronic active gastritis and intestinal metaplasia.
- The findings highlight the need for early screening and management of infection in Saudi individuals with upper gastrointestinal symptoms, particularly given the link to intestinal metaplasia.
Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is associated with substantial mortality as well as morbidity and is largely preventable among hospitalized obstetric women. However, thromboprophylaxis is underutilized in most hospitalized patients.
Objectives: To evaluate VTE risk and adherence to local thromboprophylaxis protocol among hospitalized pre- and postnatal women.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common inflammatory joint disease leading to severe disability and premature mortality. Current blood biomarkers for assessing RA activity are invasive and are not highly sensitive or specific to changes in disease activity. Therefore, there is a need for new biomarkers that can accurately indicate disease activity.
