A narrative review on the practice of genital mutilation among Arab adolescent females and a case report on a large clitoral epidermal inclusion cyst.

Introduction And Importance: Female circumcision, also known as female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), is a common practice in many Arab countries, including Egypt. One potential complication of FGM/C is the development of a clitoral epidermal inclusion cyst, which occurs when keratinized epithelial cells and sebaceous glands become incorporated into the circumcision scar line in the clitoral or labial area. The objective of this study is to present a rare case of a large clitoral epidermal inclusion cyst following FGM/C and to review the current practice of FGM/C in the Arab world, including Egypt, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia.

Major placenta previa among patients with and without previous cesarean section: Maternal characteristics, outcomes and risk factors.

Objectives: To compare maternal characteristics and outcomes among patients having major placenta previa (PP) with and without previous cesarean section (CS). And to determine if previous CS alone is a risk factor for associated adverse maternal outcomes in these patients.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective analysis including two groups of major PP patients, with previous CS (n = 184) and without CS (n = 115); who were admitted to Abha Maternity and Children's Hospital over the last ten-years (January 2012-December 2021), Aseer region, Saudi Arabia.

Microfluidic-based nanoemulsion of Ocimum basilicum extract: Constituents, stability, characterization, and potential biomedical applications for improved antimicrobial and anticancer properties.

This paper reports on the findings from a study that aimed to identify and characterize the constituents of Ocimum basilicum extract using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, as well as assess the physicochemical properties and stability of nanoemulsions formulated with O. basilicum extract. The GC-MS analysis revealed that the O.
