Knowledge and attitude of medical students towards artificial intelligence in ophthalmology in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: a cross-sectional study.

Background: The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in ophthalmology represents a transformative leap in healthcare. AI-powered technologies, such as machine learning and computer vision, enhance the accuracy and efficiency of ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment.

Objective: This study aimed to determine medical students' awareness and attitudes towards the use of artificial intelligence in ophthalmology.

Risk factors, clinical implications, and management of peridevice leak following left atrial appendage closure: A systematic review.

Background: Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is a treatment modality for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). One of the potential complications of LAAC is a peri-device leak (PDL), which could potentially increase the risk of thromboembolism formation.

Methods: This systematic review was done according to PRISMA guidelines.

The effect of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator modulators on impaired glucose tolerance and cystic fibrosis related diabetes.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder, with a prevalence of 1 in 2,500 live births. It is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. With the significant advancement in CFTR-directed therapies, life expectancy of CF patients has steadily increased.

Managing Cystic Fibrosis related diabetes via telehealth during COVID-19 pandemic.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020. In efforts to reduce the risk of transmission, telehealth visits for routine care has significantly increased in the United States. Cystic fibrosis patients have been categorized as a highly vulnerable population to COVID-19 infection.

Glycation and HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors: Implication in Diabetes and Associated Complications.

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) acts as an absolute mediator of cardiovascular risk, prompting the prolonged occurrence, size and intricacy of atherosclerotic plaques via enhanced Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs) formation. Moreover, hyperglycemia is associated with enhanced glyco-oxidized and oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) possessing greater atherogenicity and decreased the ability to regulate HMG-CoA reductase (HMG-R). Although aminoguanidine (AG) prevents the AGE-induced protein cross-linking due to its anti-glycation potential, it exerts several unusual pharmaco-toxicological effects thus restraining its desirable therapeutic effects.

Morphological effect on fluorescence behavior of silver nanoparticles.

Effect of Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) morphology on their fluorescence behavior is reported. AgNPs sol stabilized by Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic-Acid (EDTA) was prepared by chemical reduction method. Morphology of the AgNPs was tuned through changing the Ag(+) ion concentration and P(H) of reaction mixture.
