Corneal protein repair after amniotic membrane photo-tissue bonding versus amniotic membrane graft in the treatment of corneal ulcer (an experimental study).

Corneal alkali burns persist as a significant challenge in our field, often leading to a prolonged treatment course with various sight-threatening problems. This work, of utmost importance, aimed to apply the photo-tissue bonding technique (PTB) to weld the amniotic membrane (AM) to the corneal surface versus an amniotic membrane graft (AMG) and explore its safety in saving corneal protein against alkali burn.Methods Twenty-seven rabbits with an induced corneal ulcer using 1 mol/L NaOH solution.

Examining the effectiveness of a social-play-based programme to reduce symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Saudi elementary school children.

Background: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental conditions in children, and can profoundly affect their social interactions, well-being, and relationships with parents, peers, and teachers.

Objective: This study investigated the effectiveness of a social-play-based intervention programme in reducing ADHD symptoms in a sample of 67 Saudi boys aged 8-10 diagnosed with ADHD.

Methods: The programme consisted of ten 60-minute sessions of play-based activities, delivered to the experimental group twice weekly for 5 weeks.

Challenges, practices, and impact of COVID-19 among mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder in cities and remote areas in Saudi Arabia.

Background: Mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) across Saudi Arabia have experienced tremendous challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the challenges may be different for mothers living in a city compared to those living more remotely.

Aims: We investigated challenges and practices related to COVID-19 and their impact among Saudi mothers of children with ASD in cities and remote areas during the pandemic.

Diagnostic survey of dyslexia and accompanying behavioral indicators in primary school students in Saudi Arabia.

Background: Although dyslexia is the most common learning disorder in children, it has not received adequate attention in Saudi Arabia.

Aims: This study aimed at determining the prevalence of dyslexia among Saudi students in Grades 3-6, exploring associations between severity of dyslexia, its behavioral indicators, gender and grade, and the moderating role of grade in the relationship between severity and behavioral indicators.

Methods And Procedures: The sample consisted of 2848 female students and 2647 male students in Zulfi governorate, Saudi Arabia.

Artificial Intelligence Technique of Synthesis and Characterizations for Measurement of Optical Particles in Medical Devices.

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the effect of particle size on semiconductor properties; artificial intelligence is being used for the research methods. As a result, we picked cadmium sulfide (CdS), which is a unique semiconductor material that is employed in a broad variety of current applications. Given that CdS has distinct electrical and optical characteristics, it may be employed in the production of solar cells, for example.

Influence of selective immunosuppressive drug regimens on the healing of exposed dogs' dental pulp capped with a recent calcium silicate-based cement.

Objectives: In the clinical medicine, immunosuppressive drugs are used for an assortment of disorders, while their effect on the pulp healing is a controversial issue. This study evaluated the effect of different immunosuppressive drugs on the healing capacity of mechanically exposed dogs' dental pulps after direct pulp capping (DPC) with calcium silicate-based cement.

Materials And Methods: Twelve healthy male dogs were randomly allocated into four equal groups, 3 dogs each: group I allocated as a control group where no drugs were received; group П given prednisone (Pred); group III given a combination of Pred and cyclosporine A (CsA); and group IV given triple dose including Pred, CsA, and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for 45 days before the operative procedures and until the dogs were euthanized.

Resilience and social support as predictors of post-traumatic growth in mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder in Saudi Arabia.

Background: There are few studies about the role of resilience and social support in post-traumatic growth (PTG) in parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Aim: This study examined the relationship between social support, resilience, and PTG and the predictive role of resilience and social support related to PTG in Saudi Arabian mothers.

Methods And Procedures: A survey-based quantitative study was conducted in 88 mothers aged 18-46 years (M = 33.
