Hand Rejuvenation Using Autologous Fat Grafting: A Systematic Review of Recommended Doses, Complications, and Patient Satisfaction.

Introduction: Hand rejuvenation addresses aging-related changes such as subcutaneous fat loss, skin degradation, and photodamage. Autologous fat transfer (AFT) has emerged as a promising treatment, offering durable volume augmentation and regenerative effects. This study aims to systematically review the evidence on the techniques, outcomes, and complications of AFT for hand rejuvenation.

Analysis of Influencing Factors for Choosing Dermatology as a Future Career: A Cross-Sectional Study Among Medical Students at King Abdulaziz University.

Background: Determining the influencing factors of choice of medical specialty is key to a balanced distribution of physicians across specialties. Dermatology, the specialty concerned with treating skin disorders, is known for being among the most wanted; however, studies identifying the factors that attract students to this specialty are lacking. Our study aimed to investigate the influencing factors of the choice of dermatology as a career in clinical-year medical students.

Knowledge and Practice of Scar Treatment Among Health Care Physicians in Saudi Arabia.

Background The processes of wound healing and scar formation are complex phenomena that are determined by an intricate interplay of molecules and cells. A deviation from the anticipated trajectory of scarring can lead to the formation of hypertrophic scars and keloids. A wide range of therapeutic methodologies have been employed in the treatment of scars.

Integrity of Clinical Neuroradiological Research.

Purpose: It is unclear if undesired practices such as scientific fraud, publication bias, and honorary authorship are present in neuroradiology. Therefore, the objective was to explore the integrity of clinical neuroradiological research using a survey method.

Methods: Corresponding authors who published in one of four top clinical neuroradiology journals were invited to complete a survey about integrity in clinical neuroradiology research.

Diagnostic radiology and its future: what do clinicians need and think?

Objective: To investigate the view of clinicians on diagnostic radiology and its future.

Methods: Corresponding authors who published in the New England Journal of Medicine and the Lancet between 2010 and 2022 were asked to participate in a survey about diagnostic radiology and its future.

Results: The 331 participating clinicians gave a median score of 9 on a 0-10 point scale to the value of medical imaging in improving patient-relevant outcomes.

The peer review process: A survey among scientists in radiology.

Purpose: To map the experience and view of scientists in radiology on the peer review process.

Method: A survey with 12 closed-ended questions and 5 conditional sub-questions was conducted among corresponding authors who published in general radiology journals.

Results: 244 corresponding authors participated.

Which factors are associated with fraud in medical imaging research?

Purpose: To investigate the determinants of fraud in medical imaging research.

Method: This study analyzed aggregated survey data on scientific integrity completed by 877 corresponding authors who published in imaging journals in 2021. Multivariate regression analyses were performed to determine the association of scientific fraud with the following variables: survey participants' age (<18, 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, or > 65 years), gender (male, female, or other), Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) of their country of work (linear 0-100 scale), academic degree (medical doctor or other), academic position (none, fellow/resident, instructor/ lecturer, assistant professor, associate professor, full professor, or other), and years of research experience (<5, 5-10, or > 10 years).

Integrity in cardiovascular imaging research.

Objective: To gain more insight in scientific integrity in the field of cardiovascular imaging research by conducting a survey among all corresponding authors who published in cardiovascular imaging journals.

Vitamin D serum level predicts stroke clinical severity, functional independence, and disability-A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability and one of the most common neurological conditions globally. Many studies focused on vitamin D as a stroke risk factor, but only a few focused on its serum level as a predictor of stroke initial clinical severity and recovery with inconsistent results. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between serum vitamin D levels and stroke clinical severity at admission and functional independence and disability at discharge in Saudi Arabia.
