Robotic Versus Manual Electrode Insertion in Cochlear Implant Surgery: An Experimental Study.

Objectives: This experimental study compares the precision and surgical outcomes of manual versus robotic electrode insertions in cochlear implantation.

Methods: Conducted on formalin-fixed cadaveric heads, the study involved nine senior neurotologists performing both manual and robotic insertions.

Results: The results showed no statistically significant difference between the two methods in insertion angle, cochlear coverage, or electrode coverage.

Metabolic syndrome prediction based on body composition indices.

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is an important public health issue that has been lately linked as a growing concern worldwide.

The Objective: To find out which anthropometric and body composition indices can prognosticate MetS in Jordanian adult females.

Methods: A sample of 656 Jordanian adult females was recruited (January-March 2024) in the middle of Jordan.

Effect of stressors during COVID-19 lockdown on malnutrition and health-risk behaviors among Jordanian college students: A cross-sectional study.

A stressful condition such as the emergence of the coronavirus and its related lockdown measures might trigger alterations in college students' behaviors. This cross-sectional study aimed to identify the changes in college students' dietary and lifestyle behaviors during the lockdown and the effect of lockdown-related stressors on health-risk behaviors. A web-based survey was conducted among undergraduate college students in Jordan.

Food consumption and adherence to dietary guidelines among Jordanian children and adolescents.

Background: Early-life food consumption patterns may affect children's health by increasing susceptibility to developing non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs) in adulthood.

Aims: To evaluate Jordanian children and adolescents' energy and macronutrient intake and how closely they adhere to dietary recommendations.

Methods: This cross-sectional study used data from Jordan's Population-based Food Consumption Survey, a household population-based study conducted in Jordan between 2021 and 2022 (561 children and adolescents 8-19 years).

Evaluation of Radiant Power of the Light Curing Units Used in Clinics at Governmental and Privates Dental Faculties.

Background:  To evaluate the radiant power of the light cure units (LCUs) in relation to their type, radiant exitance, number of years in clinical use, and condition of LCUs tips in governmental and public clinics in Dental Faculties in Sana'a City.

Materials And Methods: LCUs were collected from different colleges at Sanaa City, Yemen, then LCU data as type, clinical age (<1 year, between 1-5 and ˃ 5-years), tip condition was visually inspected for damage and adhering debris, and the radiant exitance values of the tested LCUs. Radiant exitance values were subcategorized into three groups: <400, 400-850, and >850 mW/cm², labeled as inadequate, marginal, and adequate radiant exitances, respectively.
