Network Analysis of Core Symptoms of Internalizing and Externalizing Symptoms Among Children with Dyslexia in Saudi Arabia.

Researches indicate that children with dyslexia are more likely to experience psychiatric symptoms throughout life compared to peers in the general population. Improving the classification of psychiatric symptoms in this population can be a valuable goal for strengthing therapeutic models. The current study aimed to evaluate the dynamic associations between internalizing and externalizing symptoms in children with dyslexia using network analysis.

Evaluation of expelled droplets through traditional Islamic face coverings.

Background: Expelled droplet count is an important factor when investigating the efficacy of face coverings since higher droplet counts indicate an increased possibility of disease transmission for airborne viruses such as COVID-19. While there is some published work relating facemask style to expelled droplet count during speech, there is no published data regarding the effectiveness of traditional Islamic face coverings such as the ghutra and niqab commonly worn by men and women in the Arabian Peninsula.

Objectives: Measure the effectiveness of worn traditional Islamic face coverings in reducing expelled droplet count during speech.
