The Impact of Cancer Relapse and Poor Patient Outcomes on Health Care Providers Practicing in the Oncology Field.

Introduction: Devastating cancer-related events are not uncommon, and these events have weakened communication performance and induced stress among health care providers (HCPs), particularly physicians. This study aimed to investigate the perspective of HCPs emotionally affected by poor clinical outcomes due to the failure of cancer therapy.

Methods: A cross-sectional, online survey was conducted over 3 months among HCPs practicing in the field of oncology in Saudi Arabia, comprising physicians, pharmacists, and nurses.

The body weight heritability and the effect of non-genetic factors on the body measurement traits in Qinchuan cattle.

This study aimed to understand the influence of the non-genetic factors that include breeding year, season, and sex of growth and development traits of Qinchuan cattle and to estimate the heritability of body weight at different growth stages. The Qinchuan cattle measurement records were by the Experiment farm of the National Beef Cattle Improvement Center (Yangling, China) from 2000 to 2017. SPSS and R software were used to analyze the influence of non-genetic factors on body size traits that include body weight (BW), withers height (WH), hip height (HH), body length (BL), chest circumference (CC), abdominal girth (AG), and calf girth (CG), at birth, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months of age.

The impact of Hydroxyurea on the rates of Vaso-occlusive crises in patients with sickle cell disease in Saudi Arabia: a single-center study.

Background: Vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs) are acute and common painful complication of sickle cell disease (SCD), and are the main reason behind the frequent emergency department visits among SCD patients. Hydroxyurea (HU) is an old and commonly used medication that demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing the risk of VOCs and the incidence of hospitalization. Although multiple studies have examined the impact of HU on the rates of VOCs, few have explored its effectiveness among SCD patients in Saudi Arabia.

Real-World Comparative Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Different Classes of Disease-Modifying Therapies for Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis in Saudi Arabia.
