The assessment of knowledge and awareness about iron deficiency anemia among the population of Riyadh province.

Background: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is considered the most common micronutrient deficiency and the greatest health concern throughout the globe. The main causes of anemia are iron deficiency, parasitic infestations, viral infections (human immunodeficiency virus), hemorrhage, and renal and hepatic diseases. Therefore, it is mandatory to be equipped with the proper knowledge regarding the causes, signs, symptoms, and diets containing iron, which can be a good initiative for the proper treatment and management of the health hazards; also, it will help primary care physicians to differentiate the degree of the disease and further treatment, planning, and management.

Waldenström macroglobulinemia: a review of pathogenesis, current treatment, and future prospects.

Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is a chronic B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by lymphoplasmacytic cell overgrowth in the bone marrow and increased secretion of IgM immunoglobulins into the serum. Patients with WM have a variety of clinical outcomes, including long-term survival but inevitable recurrence. Recent advances in disease knowledge, including molecular and genetic principles with the discovery of MYD88 and CXCR4 mutations, have rapidly increased patient-tolerable treatment options.

Rural electrification using renewable energy resources and its environmental impact assessment.

Integrating a group of generation units and loads into a microgrid improves power supply sustainability, decreases greenhouse gas emissions, and lowers generating costs. However, this integration necessitates the development of an improved energy management system. The microgrid distributes electricity among energy resources to optimize either the generating cost or the quantity of greenhouse gas emissions, or both at the same time.

Rhodium-Catalyzed Enal Transfer with -Methoxypyridazinium Salts.

Herein, we report a simple method for functionalized enals involving enal-transfer reaction of water-soluble -methoxypyridazinium salts. This open-flask reaction proceeds under mild aqueous basic conditions through [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of propargyl/allyl sulfur-ylides derived from in situ-generated Rh-()-enalcarbene. Various synthetically challenging allene- and allyl-functionalized ()-enals with a γ-C(sp) quaternary center were obtained in good to high yields.

Background: This case report is the first documented and illustrated case of the identification and treatment of intracranial vasospasm as a sequalae of traumatic lumbar puncture (LP). LP is a routine procedure performed for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Although rare, this procedure has risks and complications that should be considered before performing.

Drains in Spine Surgery for Degenerative Disc Diseases: A Literature Review to Determine Its Usage.

No guidelines currently exist for surgeons to follow regarding drain use after spine surgery for degenerative disc disease. Therefore, we conducted a literature review to determine what situations warrant drain placement versus those which do not. When placed, we further investigate optimal drain duration.
