Background: Glycemic control and the efficacy of therapy in diabetic patients with type 2 diabetes during the previous 2-3 months are usually evaluated by measuring the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Our aim is to study the correlation between serum glycated hemoglobin level (HbA1c) and the hearing thresholds in diabetic patients.
Methods: A case-control study was conducted in the Audio-Vestibular Medicine Unit, xxxx University on 82 subjects.
Background: Enucleation and exenteration are widely utilized ophthalmic procedures in veterinary practice, involving the complete removal of the eye and comprehensive extraction of orbital contents, respectively. These procedures are indicated for pain relief, excision, and management of neoplasia metastases, and addressing severe medically untreatable conditions.
Aim: This study aimed to develop an orbital enucleation surgical approach.
Article Synopsis
- Enucleation and exenteration are common eye surgeries in veterinary medicine, specifically in camels, and this study introduces a new surgical method using the supraorbital fossa approach.
- Seven camels underwent this technique at King-Faisal Teaching Veterinary Hospital, where the procedure involved sedation, a specific incision, and careful dissection to remove the eye while managing bleeding effectively.
- The results indicated that the new approach was successful, with a mean surgery time of about 46.6 minutes and few complications, suggesting it is a safe and effective option for camel eye surgery, but further research is needed for wider application.
We developed and validated the Influenza Severity Scale (ISS), a standardized risk assessment for influenza, to estimate and predict the probability of major clinical events in patients with laboratory-confirmed infection. Data from the Canadian Immunization Research Network's Serious Outcomes Surveillance Network (2011/2012-2018/2019 influenza seasons) enabled the selecting of all laboratory-confirmed influenza patients. A machine learning-based approach then identified variables, generated weighted scores, and evaluated model performance.

- The study examined a new surgical method for removing the eye of horses (enucleation-exenteration) through the supraorbital fossa, using both cadaveric and clinical trials on donkeys.
- A preliminary study on cadaver heads established the surgical anatomy and demonstrated the new approach, while the clinical trials involved eight donkeys undergoing the procedure with no significant complications.
- Results indicated that the supraorbital enucleation technique is feasible and safe, showing positive outcomes in both cadaveric studies and live cases.
