Aims: To evaluate the clinical, radiographic, immune modulatory biomarkers and quality of life with the application of photodynamic therapy (PDT) as an adjunctive treatment to dental scaling and root planing (SRP) in patients with chronic periodontitis and Parkinson's disease.
Methodology: Individuals who had a confirmed diagnosis of stage III periodontitis and stage 4 Parkinson's disease according to Hoehn and Yahr scale were involved in this study. The participants were divided into two groups: Group SRP (n = 25) received traditional dental scaling procedure including full-mouth debridement and disinfection, and Group PDT + SRP (n = 25) received both traditional cleaning procedures along with adjunctive chloro‑aluminum phthalocyanine (CAPC) gel (0.
To evaluate the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) as adjunctive to oral debridement (OD) in the improvement of clinical, microbiological, and pain in patients with necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (NUG). Patients with NUG were split into two groups: Group-OD + PDT received PDT with OD, while Group-OD underwent OD alone. Clinical inflammatory parameters including full mouth plaque scores (FMPS), full mouth bleeding scores (FMBS), and probing depth (PD) were assessed.

Materials And Methods: Subjects with a diagnosis of chronic periodontitis according to the new classification and case definition of periodontitis [probing depth (PD): ≥6 mm, interdental clinical attachment loss (CAL): ≥5 mm and bone loss extending to mid-third of root and beyond (≥3 mm)] were recruited. Subjects were grouped on the basis of well-controlled and poorly-controlled diabetic status.
Objective: This study aimed to assess health-promoting lifestyles among university medical students and to investigate whether such lifestyles are associated with students' academic achievement.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive investigative study was performed on 576 medical college students of King Saud University (KSU) in March 2019. Data were collected using the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II) scale, which includes six dimensions (health responsibility, spiritual growth, physical activity, interpersonal relationships, nutrition, and stress management).
Objective: This research was conducted to analyze the elements and factors that link with newborn deaths at Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of a public teaching hospital in Jordan.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted by reviewing the medical records of all the neonates admitted to the NICU over a one- year period from 1 of March, 2018 to 28 of February, 2019 at Princess Rahma Pediatric Hospital, Jordan.
Results: Overall, the medical records of 1247 neonates were included in this study.
Background: The aim of this study was to assess knowledge, practice and attitude towards photodynamic therapy (PDT) among nurses of several medical colleges in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In addition, to appraise the implementation of PDT education in their clinical practice, we have conducted a large cohort cross-sectional study to identify their interest in PDT training, if they ever received one.
Materials And Methods: A descriptive observational cross-sectional survey was conducted among the medical nurses in Riyadh city, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the impact of learning management system and WhatsApp application as educational tools on students' academic achievement and attitude.
Methods: The sample population was the students of six medical colleges of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia attending Medical Pharmacology's semester course in Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) program from September 2016 to January 2017. An exploratory approach was adopted based on a comparison between students exposed to only in-class lectures (Group-N), in-class lectures together with WhatsApp platform to disseminate the lecture slides (Group-W) and students group with in-class lectures facility blended with Learning Management System (LMS) and WhatsApp platform (Group-WL).
Background: The cultural norms of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia do not encourage men to choose nursing as a career. Understanding male nursing students' experiences of their clinical exposure to the nursing profession throughout their internship might increase their retention. This study explored the experiences of final-year male nursing students as they transitioned to the role of registered nurse.
